Absolutely nothing about this 'pandemic' makes sense. Why are infections used as the metric rather than deaths? Why are some areas having little to no difficulty with this virus? Why is Texas doing so well post mask mandate but states that have locked down for the better part of 2 years never improve?
It's as if they had plans sitting in a corner ready to go and were just waiting for an event to trigger them...
Sorta like the Patriot Act and 9/11.
It is called stress testing a population.
Each time you stretch and bend them further you provide justification for doing it more in the future.
They'll stretch until the breaking point, retreat and have the media cover it favorably then change their future plans based on the extent of success.
This has been going on for decades.
Arguably since FDR stole the gold and guns.
Since the 1890's when the tycoons decided that it would be a better idea to lean into the Progressive movement and take control of the government, than to risk actual Progressives taking control of their companies.
I'll give you my totally theoretical opinion on Texas (from living in TX) and other states in similar situations. Let me preface this with a couple other opinions to give my perspective--I think masks provide zero value in anything but the most limited and controlled situations and I do think the vaccines are effective, albeit not worth the risk for a large chunk of the population. Also, I live in a middle of the road politically suburban area of a decent size metro.
See the thing in Texas is we barely ever had a lockdown and what we did lasted about a month at best. Even then people were going out and getting take out, hanging out at parks, etc. I rarely saw a mask at any point during the lockdown period. This was roughly April-May 2020. After that, it felt pretty normal. There were some capacity restrictions that spread restaurants around a bit and that's about it. Masks still weren't a thing. This lasted through the end of June. In July came the mask mandate. It was generally well complied with even in the rural areas in my experience. The thing is, it was really just walking around stores, waiting to get seated at restaurants, things like that. We aren't waiting in lines to get in places, no one gives a shit about the one way arrows and crap, it's just put on magic face napkin and go about your business.
Essentially what I'm getting at is outside of large ticketed events and face diapers in some scenarios, people have still been hanging out at restaurants, in their yard, at parks, etc. Particularly the healthy and low risk people. There's no checkpoints on the road, no one cares why you're out, the only thing you will get really is whiny employees at stores over face condoms. These healthy people get the virus, get over it easily, and gain immunity. It's exactly what Martin Kuldorff proposes to deal with this--let the young and healthy build up the herd immunity naturally. Add in the vaccination for the higher risk, and here we are today. In other places, these young and healthy have been locked up for 9 months now.
I didn't see Bill Maher rip them up, but I caught some of that data a month or so ago. I know a few of their mental patients through work too. One in particular hasn't been out for anything other than groceries and other very essential type purchases in a year now. He refuses to go to the doctor even. He's got both vaccines and is still talking about fear if we are ever asked to go back to work in the office. I have no answers for these people anymore.
One way I've been putting it to people is if it's a 50% chance to get hospitalized with Covid, that means they are saying it's more dangerous to get Covid than it was to storm the beaches of Normandy.
If COVID were as dangerous as the media and government likes to propagandize, then I ask a simple question: Why is New York still on the map?
If COVID was as lethal and dangerous as propagandists say, then invading the USA from Canada or Mexico (and vice-versa), in aims to kill as many people as possible, raiding for COVID vaccines, are perfectly logical and reasonable things to do.
The odds of a country, at minimum just one likely more, NOT being glassed with nukes over COVID vaccines is infinitesimal, IF COVID were as dangerous as they're trying to have us believe.
Ontario declared martial law and instituted a police state, over 650 ICU admissions. 650 lives were enough to bring the hammer down on millions. And deaths? A coupe dozen. But the news don't recite that, no. They recite INFINITE DOOM AND DESPAIR! ...Then collect their government paycheque.
A tiny fraction of the number of victims of the Rotherham religious organization's struggle snuggling was enough to apparently call for the destruction of a province.
You guys seemed to handle it exactly how we did North of the Red River. Has it been as weird for you as it has for me seeing people cry about lockdowns the last year and nearly forgetting about a 'pandemic' until you go online or see the news?
The thing is though, according to everything the experts are saying states like ours should be hotbeds of covid but we're not and the states that are shouldn't be. That's the real issue I was drawing attention to.
I'd say sort of on not noticing the pandemic. There's plenty of times it doesn't feel like it, but a couple older really high risk members of my family got it along with the fact that most of my friends have families and I'm on my own, so when it came to social things they picked their family over me and one extra person wasn't worth the risk to them. So in a way it's been a bit rough for me. But yeah, I can walk over to the neighborhood park or whatever and see kids playing on the playground and such and no one even bothers to acknowledge a pandemic.
It's too bad the places with sensible people have such awful weather. On the California coast, I've seen between 90 and 98% of all people outside wearing the mask. It might be down in the 85 to 90% range in the past few weeks, but you can't enter any business or place without the mask. No exemptions. No tolerance. It's like out of one of those zombie movies where virtually everyone in your town turns into 'one of them'.
I've just placed my Instacart order for food supplies, as it's the only way to get food without wearing the mask. Even the outdoor farmers market is all maskers.
COVID is about as deadly as the common cold, and in all likely hood the virus they are testing for IS the common cold and they are recategoring it as COVID. Blue states are still in lockdowns purely to further their political agenda. Also, boomers are scared, very scared of their own mortality. Locking everyone in for the common cold serves their purposes as well. Finally, the mRNA "vaccines" are mRNA research studies, blessed with the largest sample size they could have ever asked for.
The other day I was talking with a few friends, and Texas was a huge redpill on the entire thing. "How is Texas and Florida surviving while Michigan New York California and Pennsylvania getting choked out?"
We are not touching the moist piece of cloth that is covering our face and spreading germs.
Herd immunity.
Laughs in Québec French.
I know I know. Everything else about this and why it was put in place is depressing.
Hon hon hon... Not like we're not curfewed and restricted on our basic rights, either. Just because Ontario was a bit more open and transparent about it doesn't mean it doesn't apply in Quebec.
2.5-hour delay at the Ontario-Quebec border this morning because of these checkpoints. From what I read, they were just waving people through.
What a great use of my tax dollars! Thanks!
Yeah. That show sucks.
Armed checkpoints? What's this, the East-West Berlin checkpoint or the 38th Parallel checkpoint?
