• Wear Masks 24/7

    From Aaron Thomas@1:229/426 to All on Sunday, November 08, 2020 22:30:14
    Allegedly, Biden has a 7-point coronavirus plan which includes a national mask mandate everywhere outside the home. Biden plans to have governors enforce it, and if they refuse, Biden will seek support from local municipalities.

    Do you support it? I guess it don't matter if you do or don't, because we will do what our president says. I will say this about it: If this national mask mandate significantly cuts the cases down, or if this whole 7 point plan is actually a success, I will be happy about it.

    I would also be happy to slam Biden on just about anything, but I'm starting to wonder if leadership in our country has taken advantage of all the
    possible avenues that could have helped us during the pandemic?

    Biden can kiss my butt, and I love Trump for all his policies, but I think Trump and my state governor, and all the other douchebags that come from further down the NY chain, could have done a hell of a lot more for us. They all sorta did what they thought was enough work for a day's pay, then they
    got tired and took a nap.

    So if we're lucky, Biden can make all this stuff happen, and put a bigger dent in the virus than these other guys. After that, he'll hand the keys to the White House over to Xi Jinping, and we can go back to hating that gaffster again.

    Do you support it?

    I support wearing one in public indoor places, and at public gatherings. I don't believe in wearing one if I am outdoors taking a walk by myself or am only with family that lives in the same house.

    That is just dumb and it will make you ill. People need fresh air.

    Our state has had a mask mandate for months now. It is an indoor public
    and public gatherings mandate. I follow it. Does not seem to help much,
    we are still setting records for daily cases. We are better off than you are in NY for sure. Cuomo has blood on his hands.

    But Biden needs to sound like he has nuts in the sac, which he kinda does for being as big of a false hope as he is to so many people. He will act tough, and fool idiots into thinking that he invented the vaccine, and they will
    try to re-elect him for it. Trump told us all we need to know about this guy, and Trump's had a clean record with us all along.

    we are still setting records for daily cases. We are better off than you in NY for sure. Cuomo has blood on his hands.

    He's about to spill some more too. He said we can't have the Trump vaccine; needs to be a Biden vaccine. And Biden calls this guy his "friend."

    Yea but who cares about the White House staff? Aren't they a bunch of racists anyway?

    Trump could have been more vocal about prevention. But governors like Cuomo are the ones who went out of their way to make the virus worse. That maniac is sitting in Albany right now looking for ways to kill more NYers, with his latest plan to not allow NYers access to an FDA approved vaccine. But guess what my brainwashed neighbors will do in 2023? Re-elect that guy who's popular with the celbrity folk.

    I'm sure that one thing we all have in common is that we all sorta slam each other with our politics in this echo, not because it's our intent to do that, but it's because we feel comfortable chatting with one another about political issues here on Fidonet. Right?

    The thing is you have to have thick skin and I think all the regulars here do in fact have this thick skin. No matter what awful thing we say about each other's candidates, nobody is getting their feelings hurt (We're all adults.)

    But while we're not busy slamming anybody, let's try to find some common ground on issues so we can find real solutions to our problems with one another's policies. That way, we can write letters to our reps with simple specific goals that we, as a BBS community, came up with as a bilateral team.

    Does this sound good to anybody? The hard part is the compromise that we need to ask for. Here's a real example, and this can happen to anybody in any
    state with Democrat firepower:

    Bail Reform - a.k.a - The Revolving Door at County Lockup
    I reached out to my state rep(D) about it, and she said "It was unfair that wealthy people could post bail while poor people could not, so we gave free bail to all inmates in all county & metro jails throughout the state to make it fair."

    Then I reached out to my state senator(R) about it, and he said "Luckily the judges are able to over-ride the defendant's right to bail if they are deemed a threat."

    Here's the problem with all this: The judges aren't keeping anyone in jail. I don't know if it's because they are Democrats too, or if they simply don't want to get any flack for revoking someone's bail, or they simply don't give a crap.

    My proposed solution? Ammend the law so judges are *required* to revoke bail if the defendant did anything that involved any type of physical violence or threat of physical violence. Is that too much to ask for?

    Around here, the protesters were wearing masks of the "chin diaper"
    variety, or of the type to conceal their identity, or none at all. There
    were some big protests then, two weeks later, a spike. The Governor blamed that on "family gatherings" and did not mention the spike in protest
    activity two weeks beforehand at all.

    I don't have doubt they were able to trace some cases back to a family
    event but, considering the biggest spike was in the county where the
    protests had been, and not all over the state, I don't buy that was the
    only reason.

    When, and how, did he say that exactly?

    About 2 months ago:

    "The first question is, is the vaccine safe? Frankly, I'm not going to trust the federal government's opinion," Cuomo said, adding, "New York state will have its own review when the federal government has finished with their review and says its safe."

    So however long it took the FDA to review and approve the vaccine, NYers can expect to wait about that much additional time before our guardian angel Andrew Cuomo lets us have access to it.

    Nice guy, isn't he?

    https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/09/24/916565352/cuo mo-says-n-y-health-officials-will-review-any-u-s-approved-covid-19-vaccine

    Ok, I misled you and I apologize; He didn't say "It's got to be a Biden vaccine," but he clearly said he won't let us have a vaccine "just becuase the federal government says it's safe."

    What kind of governor will risk several months of more preventable deaths just to spite the federal government? And since when is the president the person who makes decisions on FDA research?

    Since he said that a couple of months back, he may have changed his mind.
    I was apprehensive about a rushed vaccine but am less so as time passes
    because that also means it is less rushed than I feared. If they had
    come out in Aug or Sept and said "here it is and it is safe," I would have
    been as skeptical as Cuomo.

    Ok, I misled you and I apologize; He didn't say "It's got to be a Biden >vaccine," but he clearly said he won't let us have a vaccine "just becuase the >federal government says it's safe."

    We will see how he feels once it comes out.

    What kind of governor will risk several months of more preventable deaths just >to spite the federal government? And since when is the president the person >who makes decisions on FDA research?

    I would be curious about the side-effects and percentage of people who can expect them. If it is a "the cure is worse than the illness" type deal, I
    sure won't want to be forced to take it. OTOH, if it is as risky as the
    annual flu shot, I won't be worried.

    Kentucky

    Kentucky was doing great until July. It then started a moderate climb

    climb. Yesterday 2,140 cases, 19 deaths and 1,189 hospitalized. Source
    is
    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/kentucky-coronavirus-cases.html

    Kentucky ranks 23rd of 50 states in cases per 100,000 at 44.8

    Compare that to US numbers yesterday of
    139,855 cases, 1,448 deaths, and 61,964 hospitalizations.

    Spikes in what? Cases? Cases are irrelevant since 98% of the people

    Wrong on your math. More than 3.5% of the people who get Covid die.
    That is certainly a symptom.

    Show me spikes in hospitalizations due to COVID (not **with** COVID)
    and you will have a point.

    Only recently have I been seeing news media showing such graphs --
    perhaps that data is harder to come by. I agree that hospitalizations
    due to Covid is a more relevant statistic than the number of infections.

    This is the normal leftie play: Take a fact (i.e. COVID) and wrap a
    false narrative around it (i.e. it's the Zombie Apocalypse). Then criticize people for not falling for the false narrative by pointing to the one fact.

    Can you handle the truth? The number of deaths from COVID has averaged
    more than 1,000 per day this week.

    That is a fact that can hardly be denied by any sensible person.

    Is that how stuff works though? During a Trump presidency, the FDA can't be trusted by liberals? Cuomo didn't even mention Trump by name; he said "We can't trust the federal government," which makes no sense at all.

    Why did Cuomo request a hospital ship in NYC? Because he don't trust the federal government? Oh that was then, and this is now; so we trust the Federal when we need money from them, but then we throw them in front of the bus in preparation for election day.

    Kentucky was doing great until July. It then started a moderate climb lasting until October when the infection rate took off into a very steep climb. Yesterday 2,140 cases, 19 deaths and 1,189 hospitalized. Source

    That would coincide with an increase in unmasked protesting, and some school systems returning to in-class learning, respectively.

    Trump has been like the old joke about lawyers. How can you tell when
    he is telling a lie -- when he opens his mouth. How can you tell if he
    is telling the truth? When he is keeping silent -- as he is now doing
    about Biden's election win.

    That joke pretty much describes any "successful" politician.

    Why did Cuomo request a hospital ship in NYC? Because he don't trust the federal government? Oh that was then, and this is now; so we trust the Federal
    when we need money from them, but then we throw them in front of the bus in preparation for election day.

    Did he request the ship, or was it sent there but not ever used?

    Look, either masks are a waste of time and completely porous to
    Covid-19 in aerosol form (and an Illuminati/Globalist plot to
    dehumanize and distance us) or they're completely airtight and
    increasing CO2 intake.

    They can't be both.

    Actually they can, depending on what type of masks you are wearing. The
    ones that don't work at all do the former, the ones that work against COVID
    do the latter.

    There is a conspiracy theory involving Bill Gates and a "Gates vaccine"
    that involves a big government plan for a global government, making
    everyone dependent on said government, and possibly nanobots.

    Maybe that is the vaccine Cuomo wants New Yorkers to take?

    The only reason I would find this conspiracy credible at all is that it involves Bill Gates and I do not trust him. Otherwise, it sounds like a
    plot from a sci-fi movie but, there again, so does most of what has
    happened so far in 2020.

    Wrong on your math. More than 3.5% of the people who get Covid die.
    That is certainly a symptom.

    Nope. Right on math. You need to filter out the people who did not die **with** COVID.
    Someone in a car accident, who dies from their injuries, but happenes to have COVID is **not** a COVID death.

    Only recently have I been seeing news media showing such graphs --

    Then they are false. The "news" media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the lefties.

    Can you handle the truth? The number of deaths from COVID has averaged more than 1,000 per day this week.

    No. The number of deaths **with** COVID (not **from** COVID) is that high.

    But your false Leftie Narrative won't allow you to understand that difference.

    If a face covering is made of a material that is insufficient to
    filter coronavirus, such as fabric used in t-shirts, etc., then it
    is basically no protection at all.

    If a face covering is made of material that one cannot breathe
    through, then one would have to breathe air from the sides of the
    face covering, thus defeating the purpose of the face covering.

    If no face covering is worn, then one has no protection at all,
    leaving oneself completely at the mercy of the coronavirus.

    The Lone Ranger wore one.

    But they both knew how to wear one.

    I only actually wear a mask when I go into a public building like a store. Thats only because most places have signs requiring them to enter and shop.


    I comply because that is `their' space and they have a right to set the rules.


    But if I'm out walking outside in public or driving my car, I do not wear a face covering of any kind.


    Truth is in the `free' world, no government entity has the right to demand you do so. That they `will' demand such is a given. `Government'; especially
    leftie run government) will `demand' a lot from citizens. And the more who comply with such unlawful restrictions, the more re-inforced they will become to lay pretty much anything they wish on the citizenry, and both demand and enforce compliance.Today its `masks'; Tomorrow......???
