I agree with you on the tablecloths as I said in my comment.

Nowhere in my comment did I suggest I agreed with government mandates.

The assertion I made was based on a study of dental personnel published in the October issue of JADA, which is most certainly peer reviewed.

The Dickhead Dictator of Pennsylvania and his transgender Health Secretary sidekick I've nicknamed "Man Hands" are now trying to force us to wear masks INSIDE OUR OWN HOMES.

Yeah, right. Go fuck yourselves, both of you.

Thanks to Governor Douche Sock, my mother is once again unemployed, while he vacations in Hawaii. We're all in this together, all in the same boat! His just happens to be anchored in a tropical paradise. I hope he drowns.

Tested positive today for the ole COVID. Had some light sinus issues plus some fatigue late in the day. Just feeling sleepy and run down early the last 3 days.

Went and got swabbed and popped positive. Wife and kid getting tested tomorrow. Here's to a quarantine! Cheers!

Here we go again with the lockdowns, they will do nothing, short of chaining everyone in their houses, you will not stop the spread. Closing a random 50% of businesses and then forcing the rest to close at 10pm will have no effect.

I really don't get the point. Do they want to force a great depression? Cause riots? Great reset?

I'm so happy I went from essential to mission critical for work. I will not be out of work due to lockdowns this time around, in fact I just volunteered to work Xmas day/Eve and NYE. That's more than a whole weeks pay in OT, plus the holiday pay. If I save it all, my savings account is back to where it was in March.

Politicians are actually the scum of society. This 'crisis' provides them the opportunity to appear to 'do something'. Yes, a significant portion of the population lacks the ability to think logically and will blindly accept this nonsense because of the magic totem words 'science' and 'experts'.

CA Judge Orders San Diego Strip Clubs To Reopen As Churches Fight For Same Right

https://www.dailywire.com/news...wxrxgpz9ki7kjz5tcahl

A judge ordered strip clubs reopened in San Diego earlier this month, leading a lawyer from a law firm representing multiple churches in California to protest what he described as “a constitutional travesty.”

San Diego Superior Court judge Joel R. Wohlfeil issued a temporary restraining order against Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Diego County that orders them to cease any action that prevents such establishments from “being allowed to provide live adult entertainment,” according to The Washington Free Beacon.

The court found that the entertainment at the two strip clubs involved in the case is “constitutionally protected speech” and concluded that “the harm to [the strip clubs] if the Application is denied is greater than the harm to [the government] if the Application is granted.”

Paul Jonna, an attorney with the Thomas More Society, which is representing several churches in California that are fighting to maintain their right to peaceably assemble, told the Free Beacon: “If you’re going to accept that argument that dancing nude is protected speech that’s so significant that it overcomes the government’s interest in regulating its citizens with COVID-19 orders, then obviously the divine worship of God, which is expressly mentioned in the First Amendment, should be held to a higher standard.”

In a statement provided to The Daily Wire, Jonna went on:

This is a constitutional travesty that must be immediately rectified. As one California judge aptly noted – you can’t treat a church like a hair salon because churches are entitled to greater protection under the Constitution. And you certainly can’t treat a church like a strip club. In California, churches are being treated worse than strip clubs. The constitutional right to worship God is infinitely more important than any right to entertainment.

“We will not rest until we fully vindicate the fundamental constitutional right to worship God without government interference,” Jonna added.

Pastor John MacArthur, who pastors Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, 120 miles north of San Diego, has been battling state and local authorities in court after he reopened his church in July. In response, the county has seemingly targeted him for retribution.

In October, MacArthur cut a video that laid out the double standards for churches compared to abortion clinics, strip clubs, and marijuana dispensaries.

As The Daily Wire reported:

“Today’s current crop of politicians are trampling on the Constitution and on the resolve of citizens to demand their rights under the pressure of a manufactured fear,” MacArthur asserted. “The reality is that the COVID data just doesn’t match the government’s COVID narrative.” Even if an individual catches COVID-19, MacArthur claimed, “You have a 99.99% chance to survive COVID. It’s just not what they’re saying it is.”

“That absolutely does not warrant shutting down anything,” MacArthur continued. “But especially, absurdly and arbitrarily, churches that have a special protection from the Constitution. Oh, and at the same time, leaving open abortion clinics, strip clubs, and marijuana dispensaries.”

“And by the way, the Health Department is on record as saying they are going to allow riots and protests without regard for the mandated health and safety ordinances. This is obviously targeted discrimination. Leftists and secular government officials have no tolerance for biblical Christianity, so they’re using COVID as an excuse to shut us down.”

Our Dem teapot dictator in MN just shut us down again - er I mean 'Paused' (yeah that's the spin they're putting on this) for 4 weeks. Schools, bars, restaurants, and gyms. NO social gatherings with anyone outside of your household. Penalties are $1000 fine and/or 90 days in jail. Local police departments have already said they will be 'patrolling' the streets looking for thanksgiving gatherings. Fucking bullshit.

Never mind their own data shows that there was very little spread attributed to any of the above businesses.

Churches should start meeting at the clubs. Probably slow on a Sun morning anyway and they'd welcome the drink/snack orders!

Of course, and they know damn well they aren't going to throw anyone in jail on Thanksgiving. Just another stupid rule that people will ignore.

Another day, another sensationalist statement in the news about the number of positive cases in Florida. No mention of how many tests were done (significantly more than previous day), no mention of the positivity rate (actually went down), no mention of hospital loads (22.65% according to the FL Dept of Health). Just trying to get everyone wee-wee'd up.

I didn't see it posted here - but the video associated with this article is an in your face rebuttal to all the BS going on with Covid.

Dr. Roger Hodkinson is a Pathology Specialist which includes Virology and also a CEO of firm in NC that sells Covid 19 tests.

I just went to the CDE site and checked - 91.8% of the "deaths" in the Covid data at the CDC are 55 and up. So lets close everything down...FFS

You've got your percentages reversed in there. The 22.85% is bed availability. The relevant percentage, for someone having a heart attack, in a car wreck, post surgical complications, etc. is ICU availability. Looks like that's about 19% so not awful.

ICU availability

rigin=viz_share_link&:isGuestRedirectFromVizportal=y&:embed=y" target="_blank">Linky

I know in MS bed availability is ~22% as well, ICU beds is 12%. However if you drill down to ICU bed availability in Jackson metro area 4 main hospitals, as of right now the total count is -4. IOW, out of the 197 ICU beds they are 100% full and there are 4 people that need a bed but can't get one. Only 45 of those total 197 beds are occupied by COVID patients, but if you have the misfortune of getting run over in the street today or having a heart attack, you may be SOL other than care in the ER and holding somewhere. As a comparative, I doubt we'd ever see 25% of the ICU beds occupied by flu patients.

Total staffed bed availability of any type is 20, or 1.5% of total in a city of ~400K....

Or churches should recognize, as does the Constitution, that the right to freedom of religion is 'not' something granted by government, but instead, an inalienable right government has no authority to interfere with. As such, all the churches in the state simply need to give ole Gav (and local despots as well) the middle finger salute and go back to holding church services as normal.

And $1,000 fine and jail time for a Covid violation in Minnesota? You truly have more than your share of the morons running things.

Thanks George - in my mind - I meant 22.85% Availability - but somehow didn't type that - and since I looked at the site - it updated to 19% - so good catch.

I've been watching that FL bed capacity for the past few months - and it's banged around 18-26% - it's a shame they don't show the trends over time. I realize there are spots where you are SOL if you need a bed - but the total system has capacity, which was the point I was trying to make.

Maybe have the choir members dance during the sermon, it's now protected speech under the same order.

New York the leader in coronavirus response (sarcasm)


‘Hundreds’ Of NYC Coronavirus Victims’ Bodies Still Being Stored In Freezer Trucks

https://www.dailywire.com/news...ed-in-freezer-trucks

“Hundreds” of New York City’s coronavirus victims have yet to be processed and buried, according to the Wall Street Journal, and their bodies are still sitting in giant freezer trucks parked along the waterfront near Brooklyn.

The city has yet to empty the “disaster morgue,” the WSJ reports, and around 650 individuals who died from the virus have yet to be cataloged and their remains released to next of kin. The dead, stored in massive refrigerator trucks brought into the city when several of NYC’s hospital morgues ran out of storage, largely represent low-income victims, many of whom “couldn’t afford a proper burial,” per Forbes, or who the city had a difficult time naming.

“Officials at the chief medical examiner’s office said they are having trouble tracking down relatives of about 230 deceased people,” WSJ notes. “In cases like these, a spokeswoman said, it isn’t uncommon for the deceased to have been estranged from families and for next-of-kin details to be updated or incorrect. When next of kin have been contacted, officials said most bodies haven’t been collected because of financial reasons.”

Most of the dead would have, previously, been buried in pauper graves on the city’s Hart Island, but NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio put a stop to that practice early in the pandemic, after photos of Hart Island’s mass graves went viral on social media.

Since then, it appears NYC has been dragging its feet on finding a more permanent solution.

The medical examiner’s office called the situation “traumatic,” but that the temporary morgue will remain in operation until at least the end of the year.

The news of NYC’s issues with identifying and burying its coronavirus dead comes amid a public relations surge on the part of New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who claims his own handling of the pandemic was both exemplary and extraordinary. In a book, out earlier in November, Cuomo touted his coronavirus management strategy as a legendary example of leadership.

The New York governor is even slated to receive an honorary Emmy Award for his leadership amid the pandemic, according to Fox News.

New York, however, was the state hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic, and New York City the epicenter of the first wave of infections. The bodies stored in Brooklyn represent a small fraction of the 24,202 dead in the city since the pandemic began in earnest in March. Additional thousands are believed to have died across New York state as a result of a Cuomo administration order directing nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to admit residents recovering from COVID-19 infections, even though many of those individuals could have been contagious upon admission.

“While that order has since been reversed,” Fox News notes, “the policy has been heavily attributed to New York’s record-breaking death toll, which includes many senior citizens living in nursing homes.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, the city does eventually plan on rehoming the hundreds of bodies in cold storage, until then, though, Forbes notes, the situation is evidence of just “how unprepared the country’s systems were for handling this deadly pandemic.”
