I feel the same way as I did before. It's nothing but an attack on the people by the elite to try an manipulate them to give up their freedoms. It was grown in a lab in Wuhan, with the help of Bill Gates and other elites as a biological weapon. And they are using all their resources to stop the use of the hydroxychloroquin because they know it works.

No it was Donald Trump who politicized this way back in early March by calling it a liberal hoax out to get him. As a result his followers didn't, and still don't, accept that it was a very real risk. I mean we still have multiple posters still claiming it's the flu as amazing as that is. OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE and we are still paying for this with 150,000 lives and no end in site. Many of those lives are on Trump.
I agree it started with Trump. As a liberal leaning independent, I have really been disappointed with 4 year of attack and Trump just fighting back. Both sides have been so busy fighting each other that they don't seem to be governing for We The People.

The timing of this virus in an election year just exasperates everything.

Now I don't do any of that, I simply use a little hand sanitizer and concentrate on wearing a mask and staying away from A-holes who think this is the nothing more than the flu.

As for your husband I for the life of me can't figure out why school districts would take on that kind of liability. If he was forced to work when he did not feel comfortable and he dies from COVID you will sue and you will win. Big time.
Thanks!

But suing isn’t going to work. You can never prove exactly where you actually caught COVID. Even if it’s incredibly likely you caught it at work, it’s almost impossible to truly prove that. If you could prove it, I am sure schools would not be re-opening because of the fear of lawsuits (or they would just get iron-clad waivers for everyone to sign).

No, it’s a 99% survival rate virus then and it’s still a 99% survival virus now.

The world doesn’t turning, your bills won’t stop being due, and you won’t get any younger just because you want to hide inside your house.

Mine is a different story and probably one of the few changes from denier to believer. I was in denial up until March. Our small conservative AZ town was obviously low risk, yet our hospital prepared for the virus. Then I got the bug at Beaver Creek ski area in March, and gave it to my wife, nearly killing her.

Our town, though not hospital, remained in denial. Then the S hit the fan after Memorial Day with huge numbers of incoming vacationers. My wife is doing better and we have been in Portland for the summer. People all mask here, and the virus is under control as opposed to AZ. Gyms are open here, and my gym in AZ just closed for good.

Not really. Some are and some aren't!


COVID is only similar to SARS and MERS. It is a totally new virulent entity. That's what makes it so dangerous

Another poster who thinks they were free prior to March 15th, 2020.

Freaking hysterical.

Your sacred scrolls were urinated on by King George Washington in 1791, brother. Not that you were free from 1789 to 1791 but at the very least your master had yet to flex his muscle over you.
