Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[AK47bp]

well I was thinking of just taking a day ride. Getting out and clearing my head. You know what Winston Churchill said - "there's something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a (wo)man"

I think Kenneth Pinyan said the same thing, may he Rest In Peace.

Ya know... I'm spent. Really. Just tapped out. You should have seen the videos on the local news of people protesting in Tri-cities. The things they say "it's just the flu," "this is deep state," "not that many people are getting sick if you're worried stay home but open everything up for the rest of us."

I watch and wonder who's right? My ideas on this pandemic are not theirs. Are they crazy or am I? I just can't anymore. Maybe we should just open it up and let the chips fall where they may.

It is the dry shitties...I think you are putting the bar a little high.

they had a lockdown protest in Vancover, only 25 well behaved people, nobody was obese, not wearing camo, no open carry, all their signs had the correct spelling so not very threatening ... so who can take them seriously ?

I wish I could send my girlfriend with you. That's all see wants to do, go for a ride in the mountains. Unfortunately she will go to work tomorrow and record how many people died this weekend where she works.

I'm not making lite of your frustrations, everyone is getting a little or lot frustrated these days. I encourage you to count your blessings, and enjoy what you have. It's going to be OK, at least let's keep that hope alive.

I'm not having issues with the stay at home order. I'm having issues with the people calling this a hoax/fake news/civil liberties infringement. The ones protesting who fail to grasp the gravity of the situation or act in a responsible way for the greater good by wearing masks/social distancing/supporting others etc.

Just read a LTE in our local paper that I think was written by Steep. It was all about what a great job Trump is doing and how Obama waited 6 months to declare an emergency during the last pandemic. Sigh.

Give your GF a hug for me.

Here's the letter:

Trump took decisive action

Larry Wright

This is in response to the April 13 letter to the editor by Tanner Morgan.

I urge him and others to find the recording of the April 13 presidential coronavirus presser.

In his press conference, the president laid out the timeline and showed video clips of the media’s response to the virus, compared to what he actually did and said.(Ignore the biased reporting and phony headlines from CNN, because they are no longer a viable source of real news.)

President Trump’s response to the virus was much swifter than that of former President Obama’s response to the previous coronavirus from China in 2010. Obama waited six months to declare a national emergency.

Over 12,000 died before he did anything. President Trump acted on the advice of medical experts, and only ignored them when he put in place the ban on travel from China.

The Media Mob and even Joe Biden attacked him for the ban. Can you imagine how many more Americans would be dead or dying of this virus if he hadn’t ignored their advice?

I shudder to think of the devastation our country would be seeing under a less decisive president. Thank God for President Trump!

Chile will issue ‘immunity cards’ to people who have recovered from the virus

Pretty audacious imho, but everything is a gamble at this point.

Clearly false-flag plants.
Were any of them chewing dip?
Because that would have been a ‘tell’.

Now here is some good advice (and you thought you had a shitshow....)

“Drench cotton wool in violet oil before bedtime,” instructs Abbas Tabrizian, then “insert into your anus.” Not only will you smell flowery, you will ward off covid-19, says the Iranian ayatollah, who runs a popular online shop called the Islamic Medical Centre. Hossein Ravazadeh, another prominent quack, recommends bitter gourd oil dropped into the ears twice a day. If those remedies sound a little too uncomfortable, one could dab an ointment called the “Prophet’s perfume” under the nose, or drink a concoction of fruit juices.”

Speaking of ROI, how many rubles do you think are going into promoting these "Liberate" rallies?

The Russians can sacrifice a million dead people from CV, it's just another chapter in Being Russian, and meanwhile for that and petty cash they can kill thousands of Americans and our governing system at the same time.

Rubes bought for not many rubles. Some rubes I correspond with seem unaware Russians are behind the RT news source they reference all too often. Even the native fourth estate is badly weakened and willingly entranced by clickbait these days. Probably, sometimes, I'm the rube.

Math individuals in denial...

I was shocked to see WSJ editorials a couple weeks ago suggesting the virus could be ignored because case/death counts were so low. Presumably anyone intelligent enough to write for WSJ has sufficient background in math to understand compounding returns, how it benefits investors, and how it can kill borrowers. The smallest cognitive leap applies the compounding returns concept to corona. They used to have fairly high standards for reason and facts. Did WSJ catch the polyass?

Ya, like a decade ago when rlRupert Murdock bought it.

From the Montana "Open er up and let her Buck($) rally held yesterday.

“I believe the greater good is the 98% who will survive this,” Miller said. “We trusted our medical professionals, as we should, but they overestimated. They need to retract their statements and get accurate info before people starve to death.”

The more I read, the easier it is to conclude that we are fucked in America.
