Asst US Health Secretary, ADM Giroir, MD is all over the news making clear we need to mask up and maintain distance while inside with others who don’t reside in our households.

Meanwhile, Azar, former Big Pharma lobbyist, remains silent, rather than risk being fired on Twitter by angry man.

My family and I are choosing to demonstrate our gratefulness to front line hospital staff by not gathering for Thanksgiving.

We intend to create durable memories with games via Zoom after the meal.

If that were really your agenda you would be acknowledging that covid19 is nothing more than a mild flu.


Oh, sorry, I know how you love to nit up your terms- a mild cold.


But that's not your agenda. Your agenda is to peddle a false narrative and to hide behind pseudo intellectualism in order to do it.

Pathetic, sad, and counter productive to the truth.

36 states now have some sort of mask mandates. Republican led states are starting to embrace, too as a desperate strategy to reduce the surge and keep hospitals from being overwhelmed. It’s a plea for personal responsibility.

There is no surge and hospitals are not overwhelmed. There is no pandemic, and there is no emergency.


If anyone needs to show personal responsibility, it's you. You have a responsibility to seek out and find the truth, and if you continue to embrace the false narrative, you are accountable for that.

You don't know that. As sensitive as the tests are, someone could have briefly breathed a single virus particle and tested positive. I'm exaggerating only slightly.

According to the CDC the PCR tests don't isolate the virus, anyway. So anyone with a Corona virus (not necessarily Covid19) will trigger the test.

It is not nitpicking. SARS-CoV-2 is not an influenza virus. The disease it causes is COVID-19, not "flu". Insisting that it is just reveals ignorance of basic virology.

Again, basic ignorance of the meaning of the word pandemic.

Not every hospital is overwhelmed but a significant number are. If your community's facilities are not feeling the surge count your lucky stars.

How many people do you know that are actually sick with Covid19 as of today?
Again, I don't even know 1, and I have a ton of family and friends that live in a supposedly hot spot.
