China's going to have to start a war with someone to take their peoples minds off their problems. Nationalism is a great tonic.

The CCP is more afraid of their own people and what will happen if 1 Billon Chinese rise up en masse and overrun the major cities, including Beijing. Despite dense populations of the major cities, they comprise maybe a third of the population. With the Great Firewall of China, and their Surveillance State, it is all about controlling the masses and keeping the CCP in power.

The accusation against the US Soldiers is pure propaganda to divert blame from the CCP. They don't care how absurd it sounds to anyone in the world, except that the average Chinese citizen believes it. The narrative that foreign people brought the WuFlu to China has resulted in a lockdown of the border and poor treatment of non-Chinese including refusal to serve at restaurants and refusal to rent hotel rooms. Unfortunately, Africans seem to be the worst treated, despite the fact that Africa had nothing to do with the WuFlu, but you know, Ebola and AIDS, so they must be contagious with something. The sad part is that it seems to be working.

Our soldiers don’t eat bat. Every one of these major outbreaks seems to come from bat/pig mixture originating in that shit hole of a country.

They're likely (and I'm not exaggerating) popping champagne corks over the (phony) 100,000 death figure.

My plant is coming back online in a week, finally. My team has been laid off this whole time, so it's good to get them all back. The rules are beyond stupid but I'm happy to get everyone back getting a paycheck

Mrs. John1 found that she can order groceries on-line at the store we frequent (King Soopers in Conifer) and schedule a time for them to bring the order out to us at the truck.
Apparently they usually charge $5.00 and change for the service, but waived the fee during the panic.

So for us (going tomorrow) there's no mask issue other than watching all the cool-guys with their face huggers and bandannas heading in from the parking lot.

We will keep on doing this after this silliness passes to keep from seeing all the goobers with twat-knots in their pjs and to eliminate any and all impulse buying.

A silver lining to the whole bullshit business.

The loons are out in force. This genius got herself arrested over nothing. I'm not certain that I'd be able to refrain from knocking the shit out of anyone who spit in my face, females included.

Connecticut woman arrested after spitting in man's face for going opposite direction in one-way aisle

A pimp slap at minimum.....probably worse.

Given the current insanity, I travel the aisles (unmasked) with this handy item in my right hand at all times:
TotaSak
Google it. There are many vendors who will send you a set. I got mine years ago and it is very appropriate for grocery shopping these days.
Had this bitch hocked in my face, she would have been TotaSaked!

When anyone assaults another (man or woman), they are now a perpetrator and combatant.

“WHO recommends healthy people only wear masks when caring for the infected.” So who was it saying we should follow WHO/CDC recommendations? What a ridiculous fucking farce this has been.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/...coronavirus-patients

From above posted link:




The World Health Organization is recommending healthy people, including those who don't exhibit COVID-19 symptoms, only wear masks when taking care of someone infected with the contagion, a sharp contrast from the advice given by American public health officials who recommend everyone wear a mask in public.

"If you do not have any repository symptoms such as fever, cough or runny nose, you do not need to wear a mask," Dr. April Baller, a public health specialist for the WHO, says in a video on the world health body's website posted in March. "Masks should only be used by health care workers, caretakers or by people who are sick with symptoms of fever and cough.""

Would love to see more of this.

Elgin bar owner bans customers from wearing masks inside

ELGIN, Texas (KXAN) — No entrance with a mask.

A local tavern in Elgin has banned its customers from coming in covered up.

The statement posted outside the tavern reads, “Due to our concern for our citizens, if they feel the need to wear a mask, then they should probably stay home until it’s safe.”

“I think that’s a risk. I think that’s foolish,” said Elgin local, Ross Owens. “They’re taking chances they don’t need to take, especially if they’re in public service.”

According to a 2018 census, the City of Elgin has a little over 10,000 residents. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the city has reported that 52 of those residents have tested positive for COVID-19.

On Elgin’s Main Street is where we find a popular tavern banning masks.

“It is more of a push back — the snitches, and the contact tracers out there,” said Kevin Smith, Co-Owner of the Liberty Tree Tavern. “This is still a rural county.”

Kevin Smith says he’s still following social distancing guidelines as set in place by the Center for Disease Control.

Since the Liberty Tree Tavern shut down, Charles Chamberlain has been eagerly waiting for it to open back up. He says he’s not fazed by the tavern’s posting.

“I’m a stage 4 cancer survivor. It’s just a choice. He just put that up there to let people know if they aren’t feeling good, then they maybe shouldn’t come,” said Charles Chamberlain. “Everybody is keeping safe distances, they aren’t bunching up.”

Along Main Street you’ll find other businesses requiring masks, while others are asking you wear them at your own discretion.

“I don’t know anyone personally, and I know a lot of people, that’s gotten the virus or has died,” said Sherrill Schier, owner of ETX Travel in Elgin.

Sherrill Schier is not a mask wearer, but does have them on-hand for her customers.

“People are just comfortable. We are a small town, we don’t have a lot of crowds. We are okay,” said Schier.

Any bars that reopen are supposed to keep in-person service at 25% occupancy, but there are no outdoor occupancy limits at any bars that do have a patio area.

Well, she's kinda correct, the part that feeds the electricity to the system that makes it go down isn't letting it through to run the elevator, so,

I don't think that means what he thinks it means. Or, he's elevated the importance of a cold beer to its proper place!

Nope tested that just to be sure it wasn't a common electrical component I could source. The solenoid was controlled by 24v, when I pressed the down button 24v was going to solenoid.

More annoyed by the fact that she wanted me to wear a mask instead of just staying away from me, and I'm now in her database.

Hmmm... suddenly CNN doesn’t have the “Death-O-Meter” on screen. No coverage of COVID. I guess the pandemic is over.

Did anyone see today's headline on the New York Times?

"U.S. Deaths Near 100,000, An Incalculable Loss"

Well, I'd calculate the loss at..about 100,000 deaths.

So more than they can count on their fingers and toes, is that what they mean?

Did you check your math on that one? Maybe get a second set of eyes on it

Maybe it's "incalculable" because no one can trust the reporting? There's all kinds of things to look in to, here.
