Still a lie, yet closer to the truth.


Agreed...poor choice of words on my part.

I gave up recently, but weeks prior I've been tracking/ recording the state's daily reported stats. If a simpleton like me could read other reports around the U.S. of health departments combining stats to inflate the numbers and I could see the same bad logic being used to combine and inflate the state's numbers then why did it take our governor and his administration so long to figure it out?

%100 pure agenda driven bullshit.

Interesting comparison then and now. Odd they say "with US deaths exceeding 100,000"

Why American life went on as normal during the killer pandemic of 1969

"Between 1968 and 1970, the Hong Kong flu killed between an estimated one and four million, according to the CDC and Encyclopaedia Britannica, with US deaths exceeding 100,000."

Oh, it's just the beginning. I said earlier in this thread- making it acceptable to cover one's face is going to be used to commit crimes.

But, all the sheep just accept what the government and their news media co-conspirators tell them, and this is one result.

"We Sent Them Samples Of A Goat, A Papaya & A Pheasant": Tanzanian President Catches WHO In Epic Lie

As the number of confirmed coronavirus cases explodes across Africa, the creeping involvement of the WHO has made some leaders suspicious of the NGO. Tanzanian President John Magufuli was growing suspicious of the organization, so he reportedly decided to investigate whether the organization was as trustworthy and reliable as it claimed to be.

He played what the local press described as "a trick" on the organization: He sent the WHO samples of a goat, a papaya and a quail for testing.

All three samples reportedly tested positive. When the president heard the news, he reportedly confronted the WHO, then kicked the organization out of the country. Though, to be sure, the WHO has yet to comment on the situation.

That would suggest one of two conclusions: either the strain of SARS-CoV-2 running amok in Tanzania is much, much more infectious than scientists understand, or the WHO has been reporting incorrect results either on purpose (as an attempt to bolster its credibility in the face of President Trump's attacks) or via error (yet another indication that the WHO truly is "badly brokem" - as Vox described it back in 2015).

Most rational people would probably accept the latter scenario as the most accurate one.

Yep, nothing but liars. You cannot accept any of their claims or data. I don't need to send a chunk of papaya to the WHO to know this.

This goat/papaya thing cannot be attributed to incompetence. Nope. It's just straight-up, old fashioned lying.

I'm really ready to be done with this shit. I have pretty much decided if I was going to get it, I would have had it by now. I'm 68, and my wife is 69, so we are in the affected group. She has high blood pressure and controls it with medication, and I take Celebrex for a bad knee. Other than that we are fairly healthy.

When this stuff started, I was lucky enough to pick up 3 of the little bottles of hand sanitizer, so we could have one in each of the cars. Told my wife and grandson to use it when they came out of places, and we're all washing our hands, and keeping our fingers out of our mouths, but since this thing started, we have been to either one of 3 Walmarts, 2 Dillons, 1 Country Mart, and 1 Apple Mart, 2 or 3 times a week picking up what we need. Sometimes we'll go to 3 different places in one day. We have also been to several different restaurants, a couple times a week for take out. I call it in, but I always go inside to pick it up. I've been to Tractor Supply, Tarwaters, O'ReillyAuto Supply, and Metal by the Foot multiple times. My grandson stays with us, and he works at Walmart. I'm guessing I could have been exposed thousands of time.

A couple weeks ago, while pushing my cart across the Walmart parking lot, I had an epiphany. I read somewhere that everything in a store has probably been touched at least 4 times, by the time you get it home, so there is a chance that some of the things in my cart are “dirty”. I touched all of them, so there's a chance my hands are dirty. The checker was wearing gloves, that she might have had on for 4 hours, and she's touched all my stuff. Some of the other people she checked out could have been contaminated, she touched their stuff, and now she's touching my stuff. I get to my truck, and I put my dirty hands in my pocket, to get my keys. Fuck, now my jeans and my keys are dirty. I unlock the truck and open the door, now the damn door handle is dirty. I load up all my groceries, and when I get in the truck, I always pull myself up with the steering wheel, which is now contaminated. Before I start the truck, I pick up the little bottle of sanitizer and squirt some on my hands. After I rub it in, I grab the contaminated steering wheel hand head home. When I get there, I pick up all the contaminated sacks/groceries, and take them in the house and put them on the kitchen cabinet, thus contaminating the countertop. And to top it all off, we use a grocery list app on our phones, so my damn phone is dirty, and I have it up to my face 2 or 3 times a day. We do this several times a week.

I don't want to get this stuff, but I've had plenty of opportunities. I imagine that the things the average American is doing to protect themselves from this virus is helping, but I think it's more feel good than anything. Unless you're one of those super bio-germ guys, you're probably making many mistakes. I know if I live long enough, there is a strong possibility that I'm going to die from something. There's texting drivers, cancer, heart attack, brain aneurysm, flu, pneumonia, I could be hit by a bus, or an airplane could fall on me. Hell, roving gangs of bandits could break into our house to steal my stash of toilet paper.

I miss going to restaurants, I miss going out Friday nights and having a beer with my friends, I miss getting a hair cut, and I'm really tired of hearing Alone Together. I'm ready to stop this crap, and get back to living.

When I read a technothriller these days, one of the inevitable reminders that it’s a work of fiction is the obligatory “diversity” among the characters. An example was one of the Tom Clancy continuing knock-offs that had a group that was diverse not only in race and sex, but apparent ability to contribute anything worthwhile to the clandestine missions they were on as well. I was a little surprised they didn’t include a disabled transgender who accompanied the team with a parachute equipped wheelchair.

More recently, though, it’s not enough to have a group with that mixture, but now we must have international teams. The Andromeda Evolution is a nice example of that with medical team members from countries that are so diverse that some haven’t even figured out basic safe sanitation and funeral practices. I get the impression that that need for inclusiveness governs the makeup of real organizations like the W.H.O. as well. That’s not to say that US agencies are immune to the same sorts of political incompetence and pure insanity, but I believe that the degree is at least somewhat different, if not necessarily the kind.

The Governor of Az. opened up the whole state on the 15th of this month. Boy, do I need a haircut!! I so want to see my state get back to work and back to normal day to day activities. It was nice with the reduced traffic, but I will deal with it and just smile.

Wearing a mask applies only if you've committed an "offense", ARS #13-701D.26 is the specific statute.

Wearing a mask is not a violation within the CCW statutes, ARS #13-3101 through #13-3122

Panhandle Beaches are wide open and packed - no masks, no drama, ppl keeping a little distance between groups but that’s about it. Beach workers are “glad its so busy”.

Lots of Smile all around the waterfront. Lots of boats and jetskis too.

Fuck the ‘Rona bullshit, Florida seems to be saying...

yes, but previously the wearing of a mask was a presumption of having committed an offense....
