The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

The governors of Texas and Mississippi can make decisions for their state; one hopes their infection rates don't skyrocket as a result.  By the same token, governors of other states that are more in tune with the existing CDC recommendation should be perfectly within their rights to ban any one traveling from Texas of Mississippi from entering their states.  

"Ban"?  Like as in setting up a Checkpoint Charlie as you cross state lines?  Produce your papers...your travel itinerary?  Impossible. 

 

I was in Florida last week.  As always, I socially distanced, maintained space but did dine in an open air restaurant with the sun on my face and the music in the background.   As I prepared to return to NY, I completed the required Good Citizen Travel Report form, tested for COVID three days before boarding the plane, submitted my mobile number for contact by the politboro and respectfully declined the "You might die/might not" tracking service that auto-populated.   Upon my return, out of respect for others, I remained in isolation for the mandatory 4 days, tested again in NYS and returned to work once I got the "You ain't infected, Comrade" notice.   

 

The thing is, that applied to me as an Upstate NYer in my 60th year of residency, but not to the several hundreds of thousands of non-resident citizens that commute into NYS each day to work, eat, visit or buy the latest  issue of Penthouse from the Port Jervis 7/11.    So, hop on a plane in Miami and fly to Syracuse International on your way to Skaneateles, you're a Code Red Typhoid Carrying Mo'fo that needs sit down in a dark room until the all clear is given.  Hop on the plane from Orlando to Hartforfd, hop off,  take the wife and kids who spent three days on a Park Hopper Pass at germ central (and enjoying a drink or two  in the communal hot tub back at the Hyatt) to Grandma's house in Mt. Kisco---no problemo, sorry to have bothered you, all the best and keep voting dem!  

 

This is beyond absurd.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait you POS.

 

You were kicking and screaming that a strong national response was necessary to fight covid.  

 

Florida just told you that you were wrong.  

 

AND YOU ADMIT IT

 

 

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci responded to a question on Florida having a lower coronavirus death rate than states that had far stricter restrictions by stating that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) did some things right, but also that DeSantis did some things that he didn’t agree with. When Fauci was pressed for more detail he said, “some of the things that were done down there by people at the local level really actually did work.”

Hey scum bag.

 

How about you start congratulating the AMERICAN PEOPLE for putting up with your B.S. for over a year enduring trauma and irreparable harm to kids.  With no end game time frame or exit strategy.  

 

Go f yourself Fraudci.

Yes.  The CDC is saying that if you have individuals WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED they can gather without masks.  In Texas I believe only 7% of individuals have been vaccinated.

 

Facts are stubborn things.

This is all starting to unravel, in a good way. With the vaccine being administered in huge numbers, especially to the most vulnerable people, you are going to see cases and fatalities plummet. Biden proclaimed most of America will be vaccinated in mere weeks, not months. Add to that the longer daylight hours and warming weather, and yes I’m guessing some states will ‘jump the gun’ anxious to get on with things, and there’ll be some stumbles for sure. I’m neither surprised nor alarmed. But I remain ever hopeful that we’re pretty much done with this chapter.

I think we're close.  Got to get the vaccines done!

Apparently so is logic................:lol:

 

 

 

 

Florida’s and South Dakota’s recent economic reopenings, engineered by popular Republican governors, preceded Texas’s without inspiring it. Reopening was coming anyway to Texas and its diversified, if pandemically pinched, economy. Immediately upon Abbott’s March 2 announcement neighboring Louisiana announced major loosening of its restrictions, and nearby Mississippi declared itself open for business. The loosening goes on even in Massachusetts, where Gov. Charlie Baker has opened restaurants to full capacity. Montana and Iowa have abolished face-mask requirements. This unmasking business has legs, whether the experts like it or not.

 

The love of democratic citizens for experts shouldn’t be overestimated. The nature of democracy is preference for or deference to popular wisdom, however unwise that wisdom may prove in action. It’s been a long time since this pandemic started. People are tired. People want to see, and relate to, each other. That’s human nature. The human nature-affirmers like Greg Abbott, with a little luck and sense of timing, are likely to come out way ahead of their castigators and vilifiers, Robert Francis (Beto) O’Rourke conspicuously included.

Meanwhile, in common sense land.

 

 

Joe Biden Calls Texas and Mississippi Removing Mask Mandates 'Neanderthal,' but His Fear
of What Is Next Is the Real Story

 

 

 

Yesterday, Texas and Mississippi announced they’d had enough of the CDC-recommended precautions to stop the spread of the China virus. We are now nearly a year into “fourteen days to flatten the curve” and “thirty days to stop the spread,” and, needless to say, none of the wishcasting by the brainiacs at CDC have had any measurable impact.

 

In fact, the data indicates quite the opposite. Mississippi bought into the entire draconian scheme and has one of the highest death rates in the nation. Texas has blown off nearly all the restrictions on civil liberties and is right at the national average in Wuhan virus death rate.

 

Biden is a pus… ah, um, a very, very weak and vacillating simulacrum of a man. One of his first orders was that the nation observe a mask mandate for his first 100 days in office. Two Republican governors getting rid of masks barely 60 days on doesn’t make him look any stronger than the demented gerbil he is. He’s also concerned that Texas and Mississippi are just the leading edge of a full-bore revolt against the bureaucratic gibberish distributed by CDC and the public health nazis.

Yeah.  I figure by the end of this summer most restrictions will be lifted.  Cases should be way down and the majority of people should be vaccinated by then.  Fauci gives the most conservative estimates in order to "beat" expectations.

 

I will say that this is the best I've felt since during a winter maybe ever.  I can't even remember the last time I had a runny nose.  I usually will run a cold that lasts a couple weeks.  Nothing this year.  I haven't even taken a swig of Nyquil which is criminal.  A silver lining of masks/social distancing/being more cognizant of keeping hands clean, etc...  In fact, @Big Blitz, maybe the government should make mask mandates mandatory during the winter months from now on.
