Want a good laugh? Check out the commentary from this 'Joe Public' guy in South Florida to his City Council members. I think he got his point across. Smile

They don't need to show up at anyones door. People willingly give blood all of the time at blood drives. Just do a blood drive at each neighborhood, people give their addresses as SOP in case they need to be notified of STD or etc. and wallah.

Since when does the Red Cross knock on your door and ask for blood? Such organizations have either a drive at a temporary site or they have an established site to which people can choose to go. They may post flyers at grocery stores, shopping malls or the like or they may advertise via radio, TV, newspapers or the internet, but they don't show up at your front door with a guilt trip for you.

Furthermore, when the Red Cross or other organizations have a blood drive, everyone knows this is for the best of causes, and not for half-assed internet "scientists" to experiment with their stupid and unnecessary bullshit.

Show up at the door of my home, asking me for blood, and you're going to get run off of my property and I'm not going to be gentle about it. I might give you a saliva sample on the way out.

There is a HUGE difference in someone donating to the red cross at an organized blood drive and some politically motivated ass hole showing up at my door (or any door) wanting a blood sample. Their ass will be leaving my property immediately.

This is interesting, an antibody molecule that blocks Covid but doesn't bind to human cells.

All the stupid rubes just need to bow down to their intellectual betters and comply...here's Michael Steele the former RNC Chairman stating how dumb Trump supporters are:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/...trump-im-with-stupid

"Ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele found himself trending on social media after bashing Trump supporters on MSNBC Wednesday night for continuing to stand by the president. “I’ve talked to enough of them over the last few days. I’m exhausted, I’m exasperated. You know, at this point, it’s like, save who you can save. Because there’s only so much you can do, there’s only so much you can say. The fact that we have to literally beg people to wear a mask to save their own dumb a-- from getting sick, I’m sorry. To me, it is beyond the imagination... I am just so exhausted with this president,” Steele told MSNBC’s Brian Williams."

This follows the CDC head saying masks (holding up a flimsy surgical mask) are more important than a vaccine in protecting him against the Coronovirus. It's on a video I don't know how to embedd - sorry.

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...-coronavirus-vaccine

Well hold on - weren't we told that these half assed masks most folks wear don't prevent the the virus from getting to you...the "theory" is that wearing one limits the spread if you have it and start spewing virus particles - these guys can't even keep their stories straight.

Meanwhile - I've been plotting the Florida cases for the last month since schools started in the lowest 3 age buckets...surprise surprise - no extreme ramp up in total cases...just the same flat slight upward slope...can't wait until 2 weeks past labor day to see covid-maggedon from all those infections!

And yet still providing 'zero' evidence to support that claim. I'm sick of the "Just believe what I'm telling you and do as you're told" crowd. Give me proof to support wearing a mask or as Para noted, go blow it out your asses!

Maybe because Trump is not too far away from getting a vaccine to the people?

I swear, when an effective vaccine comes out to the masses, the Democrats and RINOs will do whatever they can to discourage the use, that is how screwed up these people are.

As a doctor guest on Laura Ingram's show mentioned last night, the virus is burning itself out, and due to continued herd immunity, a vaccine may be irrelevant by the time it arrives. This doctor also mentioned that wearing masks was a total waste of time and accomplishes nothing.

Yahoo "News" is pure leftist propaganda.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the stupid, ineffective, worthless masks (says so right on the package) that have caused a freaking 98% drop in positive flu tests. Sure. Certainly it couldn’t be that everything is just called the Wuhan virus. Couldn’t be that. No, no.

Assholes Roll Eyes

Measures to control coronavirus have brought flu infections to 'historic lows.' Scientists want to keep it that way.
Alexander Nazaryan

Thu, September 17, 2020, 12:22 PM MDT

WASHINGTON — Lockdowns and protective measures like the widespread wearing of face masks as a result of the coronavirus pandemic have driven influenza infections to record lows, according to a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study.

The authors of the study urge such measures to remain in place in order to keep the flu from returning, as it customarily does with colder weather, which will soon drive people indoors across much of the U.S. “If extensive community mitigation measures continue throughout the fall, influenza activity in the United States might remain low and the season might be blunted or delayed,” the researchers write in their new study.

The study is being published on Thursday in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a digest of the latest findings from the agency. The study looked at flu infections in the U.S. from late 2019, when the flu season began, to early 2020, when lockdowns began across the country in response to the coronavirus.

The study also looked at how the flu affected countries in the Southern Hemisphere, where winter lasts from June to August, using World Health Organization data from Chile, Australia and South Africa.

The findings show an astonishing drop in influenza infections both at home and abroad. In the U.S., for example, there was a 98 percent decline in samples testing positive when comparing the October 2019-February 2020 period with March-May 2020, a sharper and more pronounced reduction than the nation has seen in recent years. And even though seasonal drops in flu infections are to be expected, the new study says that “interseasonal circulation” of the influenza virus “is now at historic lows.”

The weekly average of positive lab results is now 0.2 percent, compared with 2.35 percent in 2019. The positive rate is usually between 1 and 2 percent.

Commenting on the new study, Sonja Olsen, an epidemiologist at the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said, “Actions to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, ... could reduce the impact of flu this fall and winter in the United States if widely practiced. However, it is impossible to say with certainty what will happen during the upcoming flu season, making it important to prepare for both flu and COVID-19. Getting a flu vaccine offers the best protection against flu during any flu season, and it is more important than ever during 2020-2021 because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”

In late February most Americans became cognizant of the coronavirus, which originated in China and then spread to the Middle East and Europe. At first President Trump and many of his allies publicly maintained that COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, was no worse than the flu. To date, COVID-19 has killed close to 200,000 Americans. The flu, on average, kills between 30,000 and 40,000 Americans per year.

The three countries in the Southern Hemisphere included in the survey also saw “very low influenza activity” during their just-concluded flu season, a potentially encouraging sign for the United States. In those three nations, there were a total of 51 flu cases out of 83,307 samples tested. That made for a positivity rate of 0.06 percent, much lower than the 13.7 positivity recorded there between 2017 and 2019.

The decrease in influenza infection is a relatively minor silver lining given the human and economic wreckage caused by the coronavirus. Still, the precipitous drop seems to suggest that prophylactic measures, such as social distancing and masks, that target one virus can also work against another.

So why hasn't the Covid all but disappeared then too?

Public health officials have worried that a twin assault from the coronavirus and flu could overwhelm hospitals. “There’s a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through,” CDC Director Robert Redfield told the Washington Post last spring, in part because Americans could have to contend with both viruses.

Trump tried to have Redfield retract the assertion at a White House press briefing, but Redfield did not, instead backing up Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading National Institutes of Health immunologist. “We will have coronavirus in the fall. I am convinced of that,” Fauci said at the same briefing.


The steps taken against the coronavirus are what could mitigate the impact of the flu — if people adhere to the protective measures that have been in place since last spring. “The use of community mitigation measures for the COVID-19 pandemic,” the CDC researchers write, “plus influenza vaccination, are likely to be effective in reducing the incidence and impact of influenza, and some of these mitigation measures could have a role in preventing influenza in future seasons.”

The mitigation practices urged by researchers have become familiar to most Americans, even as some have refused to adopt them: “face masks, social distancing, school closures, and teleworking.”

Trump has continued to rail against face masks, arguing earlier this week that there are sound reasons not to wear one. From a public health perspective, those reasons do not exist. He has also urged a reopening of schools for in-person instruction, dismissing arguments that it is not yet safe to do so.

The new study points to “growing evidence” that masks not only keep an infected person from spreading viral particles but also keep healthy people from getting sick. HORSE. SHIT.

No, goddammit. No more lockdowns, no more masks, no more jailing and fining people and businesses for not following idiot governor’s marching orders. Enough was enough two weeks into the lockdown. That’s all this has ever been about is isolating the people and trying to expand local government power. That’s not freedom, that’s tyranny, and we’ve had ENOUGH. I don’t give a rat’s ass how they try to justify it.

Hmmmm, where have I heard that tired BS before. Now they're trying to shove a mask on us to stem...the flu.
Enough is enough of this shit. These morons have been wrong almost 90% of the time when it comes to Covid, so its time to tell them to "STFU we'll take it from here."
