It certainly suggests that for certain age groups deaths are up and it is not Covid. What about schools in Las Vegas seeing double the amount of suicides as the normally do? Is it worth sacrificing our youth to save people who might be less than a year from death anyways?0 -

I believe in continuing mask wearing pretty much indefinitely, as well as investing heavily in vaccination and encouraging the public to accept the vaccine when it is available to them. I am also ok with not resuming things such as concerts where thousands of people are crammed shoulder to shoulder inside for hours. Continue working from home if this can be easily done and does not affect performance or outcome.
But I am also really against the continuation of strict lockdowns at this point that some states still have. Restaurants and other small businesses need to be able to open at almost full capacity with patrons continuing to take precautions such as masks, hand washing, and distancing when it can be done.0 -

Gunshot wounds, car wrecks, accidental falls and so on should not be counted as Covid deaths. Period.0 -

1. Try to empathize (Gee, it sure sucks that we are not back to normal yet, have to wear masks, and have some kids remote learning. I'm glad some children can participate in some sports in some places! Your kid is lucky! School and sports are important for our youth!)
2. Point out areas where they are right (like hypocrisy and the new POTUS)
3. Hit em with facts. (Although some articles says this doesn't work. I won't bother since Weston has commented based on his expertise in the scientific community.)
Not sure what point 2 means, but I have certainly
pointed out all the hypocrisy. And my thing is this, these “experts” and leaders are setting these strict rules because of this deadly virus, YET they do not even follow their own advice. Again, I am fine with them living their life, just stop with all the talk and lets move on.

I believe you are the one constantly posting clown gifs and said something about Trump not winning re-election.Prepare the clown gifs, because I 100% believe that the Covid was Gods gift to the Democrats! Some of it was Donnie not handing it well, but the non stop fear porn from MSM was 100% an effort to get DJT out. And it worked!

Thanks for the clown F! Staying on brand.
one more before I go, this from back in April with the Illinois Director of Public Health. Yes, it’s a link but there is a video of her
own words telling how Covid deaths are counted. Why are we Using obviously flawed numbers to create some of these ridiculous public policies?

SO SHOULD I KILL PEOPLE OR NOT!??!?!
I agree with wearing masks and social distancing and limiting capacity. But something like 1% of the spread is from bars and restaurants, I don’t think it’s fair to shut them down. Especially when it’s been almost a year and many have spent thousands of dollars to make it safer. So it’s completely fair to questions those in charge when the science isn’t pointing at restaurants, they shut them down anyway, then take themselves out to eat despite their own orders. And so if it isn’t about the science, what is it about then?Post edited by mace1229 on0 -
@gvn2fly1421
I do get a lot of what you are saying, though I feel like you are way too far on the other side of this and need to find some middle ground. This is a one sided forum a lot of the time and hearing from the other side is something that is needed to learn and understand what others are really thinking. Are you so one sided with your thoughts as you portray here I wonder or are you going as far as you are to balance the discussion?
With regards to counting it was shit at the start and is better but not perfect now. That said the excess deaths number does not lie no matter how you look at it and the deaths coming from "lockdown" are not making adding to that total number as much as you think they are I do not think. Also one thing that bothers me with counting is the fact that they are spinning this new variant as more deadly then first one. We do not have the numbers and proper testing to say that yet and all they are doing is getting people needlessly worried at this time.
We have people that are 100% against masks, 100% any kind of restriction, 100% against a new vaccine, 100% against science. Every thing is a conspiracy or government control tactics. There is no budging or reasoning with these people even a little bit. We are the sheep and they are the high intellectuals that can see through all the lies. We also have people that are not moving on the harsh restrictions and lockdowns and say we should be like this for the next 2 years at the very least. They do not see anything beyond what fits in their world and what works for them. The negativity and pessimism I see on this forum and other social media sites is draining. Yes we need to be real about things but I feel like thinking positively about outcomes is the way to go rather than the sky is falling forever.
Lockdowns suck and no one should like them or cheer for them. I don't care if you "trained for this your whole life" and your life has not changed much. They are not healthy any way you look at it. Yes there are rises in suicide. Yes domestic violence is on the rise. Yes people are abusing drugs and alcohol more. Yes mental health issues are happening more rapidly for the first time to people that have never experienced it before. Yes kids are not getting the education they need. Yes kids are less active than before the virus becoming even more addicted to electronics. It fucking sucks. Once the pandemic is over are these rises here to stay? I sure as hell hope not but the lasting damage from these lockdowns is going to cut deep I fear for years to come for a lot of people and families. That said there is no other alternative to this right now. We have to roll this vaccine out and hope it works as they think it will. If it does not then shit is going to hit the fan from both sides. Also you would think 10 months into this we would find a way to protect our oldest that are in nursing homes or long term care but sadly we still are making the same mistakes again and again. Anyways end of mindless rant I guess.0 -

@PJNB
Very well put and that was not mindless banter at all. I am not one that is 100% this way or that way, but as you can tell I certainly have a heavy lean one way. As I said earlier, no one hates wearing a face diaper more than me, but when I go out in public, to the gym, restaurants, my daughters games, I have to wear one so I comply. So I am not some MAGA flag waving, don’t take my guns ( strong anti gun person here) or freedom guy, I am complying. But you have to wonder, is it working? The CDC now recommends two face masks. At what point does it stop. And again, the Elite are absolutely cleaning up during this pandemic.
Bottom line, I know I am not going to change anyones opinions here, but I feel strongly that the government has not been on our side during the past year. By our, I mean the common person.

And for the record, when this shit ends and we all gather for a show again, I will buy any one of y’all a beer that will be at the Nashville show. Even F and games. Maybe meet at a bar before hand discuss the ridiculousness of all this. By the way, whatever happened to the shows? I still have tickets I guess. Never mind, not the right forum.

If there is some conspiracy for the elite then it is worldwide and not just the US. Calling masks "face diapers" makes me want to put you in the MAGA crowd because it is silly to think that masks don't help in some form.
The rules do seem arbitrary though and frustrating. Airports can be packed, can fly on planes, shop at Wal-Mart and Home Depot, etc... but restaurants have to shutdown or golf courses have to be closed?

Govt has not been on the side of the people......possibly ever.
This doesn't mean that trying to control the spread hasn't been about science vs politics.

Also. .."the vaccine is probably more harmful to you than the virus" was a great post. We need to keep that in mind when reading anything else you share with us
Stay safe, keep that mask up.The love he receives is the love that is saved0
