I’m not a biologist, I am not a virologist and I don’t intend to dwell on the existing data, as most of what’s out there is buggy at best and often doctored for political reasons. Besides, I don’t think hard-data is important to the rest of this post. You see, I am a common-sense guy. In a world where governments have lost their collective minds, I feel I have something of an edge here.
If you read nothing else, read the following: had they stopped this thing in Wuhan, we would be right to use a containment approach to COVID-19. Instead, it’s everywhere and despite your personal opinions on the issue, it isn’t going away until most of us get it. There, I said it; you can hide in your basement, but you’re still probably going to get COVID-19. You can quarantine a whole nation…they’ll just get it next year. We are a global economy and this is now a global disease.
The sooner you accept that, the better for all of us.
Whether you like it or not, the world is going for “herd immunity.” Unfortunately, there is no other viable option. There will be no vaccine, there will be no miracle cure and besides, the virus isn’t even all that dangerous if you are young and healthy. Simply put, COVID-19 won’t flame out until 50 to 80 percent of us get it (the precise number is open to debate).
For the past century, most people have accepted that from time to time they’ll get a cold or flu. It was considered a fact of life and an inconvenience. Somehow, in this age of hysteria news and social media, a disease that’s a bit worse than the annual flu has taken on a persona that’s terrifying. I understand why that’s happened. The media and various “influencers” sell fear and astute politicians harness this fear for votes. Meanwhile, anyone with a dissenting voice is marginalized.
I think it is time for everyone globally to finally admit that COVID-19 is here, that we are powerless to stop its spread and that most of us are going to get it. Just ask Misti Talbert.
One thing you can always count on with loons like Freddie Oversteegen (who uses a fake name): besides being hypocrites, they are MASTERS at projection.
‘Projection’ is when you are guilty of something yourself but accuse others baselessly and relentlessly of the same thing. Kinda like the dems whipping up the “Trump is in bed with Russia” horseshit when in actuality, HILLARY was the one busy sending her hubby to Russia to make $500,000 speeches in return for handing Uranium One over to the Russians. Or maybe like ‘Antifa’ claiming to be ‘anti-fascist’ when really THEY are the ones acting like fascists. Or the claiming to be for free speech, then firing people if they hold the ‘wrong’ opinion.
OR, like Freddy Oversteegen saying I am a stalker for posting screenshots of public discourse freely put out in the open by somebody, when in actuality HE is the one who wants to go physically track people down, take photos and post them without their consent in order to shame them:
Now THAT sounds like stalking! Freddie’s first impulse is not to counter with a better argument, but to stalk, stalk and stalk some more! Oh, and call people racists. ‘Does anyone know if Anna lives or works in Lampasas?’. Creepy, dude.
Freddy also spends a lot of time calling people “unhinged”. He did that to some poor old guy (George McKlintock) who posted an editorial in the Dispatch speaking out against socialism:
So some older gentleman warns about socialism in a letter to the editor and he is an ‘unhinged lunatic’? What does that make you, Freddie? I know your views on ‘racism’:
I think this comment goes under both “unhinged” and “nauseating virtue signaling”…don’t you?
Freddie doesn’t like it when I refer to him and other MANDATORY MASK lovers ‘Nazis’….but I say, if the shoe fits, you should wear it.
Freddy is also busy giving out advice that maybe Melissa Johnson should go to “the authorities” because of my “stalking”. LOL. NOW you want the police, Freddie? Just recently you were busy saying we need to DEFUND the police and that SANITATION WORKERS would do their job better….and they wouldn’t murder YOU or your dog either!
Yet little Freddie wants the police to make the big bad man stop calling him a mask Nazi. LOL. If you do that, you better hope they don’t give you Officer Montgomery! Remember him?
Skinny, greasy long-haired twats using fake Facebook names are oftentimes the toughest keyboard warriors.
Poor widdle Fweddie. Can’t defend himself. Goes around spewing insults but can’t take it when he gets some back. His answer is to go stalk somebody or to call the police to protect him. This is the same imbecile who insults kids:
Speaking of dumb – can you imagine not knowing when to use “who’s” versus “whose”? Hey….are you projecting again Fweddie? Ashamed you can’t write at a third-grade level so you insult third-graders as dumb? The projection is STRONG in this one!
I’m sorry….WHO’S the dumb kid, again?
Freddie IS slightly smarter than the average dope. I’ll hand him that. Which is like being the tallest midget. He uses a fake name and nothing on his FB profile but a picture from WWII of presumably actual dead Nazis – he’s smart enough to protect his personal private info.
Funny that a guy who goes to such lengths to protect his REAL identity is so keen on trying to expose mine. Typical hypocrite.
I can make a few guesses about Freddie. He’s probably mid to late 20s. Dead-end job, if he’s employed at all. Plays in a shitty band in the lobby of the local Copperas Cove fleabag motel and thinks he is a rock star. Scrawny. Greasy. Hates his Dad. Sits around smoking pot til 4am and rambling about how “racist” everybody is. Probably thinks of himself as an Antifa type fighting “Nazis” like his heroine the REAL Freddie Oversteegen. Thinks ‘racists’ should be murdered and people who don’t wear masks should be thrown in jail.
So funny. People dump all over each other’s heads on Facebook all day long in a never-ending argument of insults over forced mask wearing. Karen Spivey-Cummings posts pro-mask propaganda from 7am til bedtime. Bruce Haywood gets an erection every time the government makes a hint that they may make wearing masks MANDATORY – ALSO posting his drivel from sunrise til the cows come home. Melissa Johnson implied she had a right to hit people with her cane if they came near her without a mask.
People also mention LOTS of facts about their personal lives:
I can’t help the fact I have a photographic memory as well.
These arguments are quite public! As are the personal profiles of the people arguing. Some dummies learned the hard way a long time ago not to announce on their public Facebook page that “We’re going to Hawaii for two weeks!” because they came home to a burgled house!
When a dummy posts on their public page “child born in 1996” it is not hard to do the math and come up with a child who is close to 24 years old. That is hardly “stalking”. It’s a fact. A fact you provided to the world. Same with “married” or “works at” or any of the others.
I could give two farts about your kid. My point was the AGE of him/her. It supports my argument that a LOT of people (including Melissa Johnson and Karen Spivey-Cummings) do NOT have school age kids and therefore should shut their yaps about school kids.
Get it?
Also, the written word is ‘libel’ not ‘slander’. Not that either one enters into my written OPINIONS. If calling someone a moron on a blog is a criminal offense, then most of the people on my “mask lovers” post would be in jail for ‘libel’ against President Trump. Hell, I think Madonna or Kathy Griffin or some other celebutard made half-jokes about killing Trump and THEY didn’t even get a talking to by the Secret Service, if I recall correctly.
Libel might be something like when The Daily Mail said that Melania Trump used to work as an escort. This was a crazy and completely untrue statement that damaged her good name. Whereas me saying Bruce Haywood has manure for his brains because he thinks Wuhan Flu is the Bubonic plague is just stating my opinion.
Posting my opinion on the intelligence of certain vociferous pro-mandatory-mask nitwits is just that: opinion. Probably 95% of the time, I use their own posts to make my point – which may embarrass them for being such hypocrites. But it is hardly illegal. Nor is posting under a pseudonym. Ever heard of “Common Sense”? Go look it up, you imbeciles.
Libel? Stalking? Hardly. It’s called providing strength to my argument using evidence – and what better way than to show exactly what the dunce in question said publicly than to screenshot it?
I had a nice email conversation with Chief Sammy Bailey a few months ago before those #BLM protests came to town. She spoke very highly of the First Amendment and the right to protest – and I agreed 100%. I find it hard to believe Chief Bailey is going to take any action over my EXERCISING MY FIRST AMENDMENT and stating my opinion that Bruce Haywood is an overfed buffoon and Melissa Johnson has no business yapping about kids going back to school because her kid is not even close to school age.
I also laugh uproariously at Freddy Oversteegen. Here is a clown who jumps into every thread online spewing insults left and right – especially towards any conservative. What’s the matter, Slick? You can dish it out but you can’t take it?
The number across the top is the week of the year. As you can see, the ‘over-85’ crowd had it the worst, with the highest risk of dying back between weeks 15 and 21 (basically, the month of April and first two weeks of May). The under 45 crowd never really had a huge worry…and STILL DON’T.
For the ‘under 65’ crowd – which includes school kids, almost all teachers and all parents (unless you gave birth at age 55) the risk is currently extremely low – and was in-line with a normal flu even back through weeks 15 through 20.
It blows my mind that most of the people on Facebook freaking out are YOUNG WOMEN! Your age and gender are the SAFEST from this thing BY FAR, yet you are shrieking the loudest. Unbelievable. I guess that’s what plummeting math standards in the public schools over the last 30 years gets you.
If you are 70 years old and sickly and still a teacher, perhaps it’s time to hang up the cleats. Otherwise, you can very easily see the libs are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
The Minnesota Covid model projected that every single hospital bed in the entire state would be filled with Covid patients in the midst of a dire situation this week.
Thankfully, the $1.5 million peer-reviewed model was utterly and completely WRONG.
Idiots like Bruce Haywood are STILL picturing the blue line. Wrong Bruce! Very wrong.
Remember all this when Dr Kaine here in town starts spewing his nonsense. Or any other government ‘expert’.
Let’s say that I can prove with reams of unassailable science that if I am allowed to control everything you eat and force you to exercise two hours a day, I can make your life unambiguously better.
You’ll be healthier, happier, more productive, and smell like fresh raspberries. You’ll also live longer and have 70% lower medical expenses which is a vast benefit to society as a whole and will save the medicare system.
Does that give me the right to force you do do it?
When I demand this of you against your will, how will you say no? Will you accept that it’s your “social duty” to flatten the medicare cost curve? Are you OK never eating another french fry or dessert or Krab Kingz dish? Are you OK with jail time for missing your Cross Fit class?
Or might you suddenly want your rights and the liberty of self-determination? And if you are not willing to submit to my grand scale social plan, then by what right do you presume to force others to submit to yours?
Perhaps give that some thought before cheerleading for the next mandate you happen to agree with. No power granted to government is ever only used once or by only one faction. Pushing others onto a slippery slope will put you on it with them.
THIS is how you get a ‘surge’ and a panic. Many hospitals are backfilling deaths: taking deaths from months ago and reporting them NOW. This chart breaks it down just for Houston. It would be nice to see this breakdown for OTHER cities, but that might crush the narrative….and cut off the free billions of dollars.
Somebody show Bruce Haywood:
The City of Houston has reported 71 COVID-19 deaths so far in July. Of these, ONLY SEVEN ACTUALLY OCCURRED IN JULY! Some of these recorded deaths even happened in April and May.
The YELLOW portions of the bar are July, Bruce. The GRAY was last month. They even managed to throw in 10 deaths from May! In other words, MORE deaths from May are represented here than in July – even though they are reporting them NOW.
A reporter asked Orange Co FL health official if the two COVID deaths listed as in their 20s had any underlying conditions. Reply: “The first one didn’t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident.”
There is obviously a huge difference between dying OF Wuhan Flu and dying WITH Wuhan Flu. The maskholes don’t seem to understand the difference and government officials don’t seem to care – since it only increases their power and their access to the hundreds of billions being handed out.
Here’s a thought experiment: Before granting any power to government, imagine it wielded by the politician you hate the most, because one day, it will be.
There are NINE MILLION kids in California under the age of 18. There have been ZERO Covid deaths.
Not one.
But that is not stopping the LA and San Diego school districts from deciding they will NOT HAVE in-person learning for the start of the year.
That is an outrage. Will those in charge of the Lampasas school system be just as insane? Will the misinformed and ignorant crowd of screaming baboons like Bruce Haywood, Melissa Johnson and Karen Spivey-Cummings get their way? I sure as hell hope not. But I suspect the worst will come to pass.
I’m SHOCKED, I tells ya! How did she and her daughter ever survive this terrible cold? I mean, to face 300,000-1 odds in your favor and somehow come out on top! Amazing. It’s as likely as losing the lottery, fer chrissakes!
To recap:
July 12th: Tearful (sorta) video dramatically announcing the Wuhan Flu has hit the Talbert household. Community outpouring of prayer emojis immediately goes to work combating their sore throat and sniffles.
July 15th: Radiogram quotes Finley as stating Talbert family is in good spirits and has “turned the corner”, lol. The corner of what?? I think I changed my underwear once since the illness was announced. They barely took three steps down the street, let alone ‘turned’ any corners. I guess I can assume there was no hospitalization involved?
Here’s what else happened in those three days:
OVER THREE THOUSAND TEXANS DIED of random causes.
OVER TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND Americans dropped dead of random causes.
Somebody, somewhere found out they have pancreatic cancer and will die very soon – thus shattering their entire world.
Somewhere, a parent knew REAL pain as they watched their young child suffer from leukemia and chemotherapy and hoped they beat REAL odds to live.
So let’s screw our heads back on and get some perspective, mmkay?
It would be nice if some of people who had this thing would get on Facebook and make hundreds of posts to talk about how it was no big deal – and thus combat the hysterical lunatics out there who haven’t even had it yet and think it’s the Bubonic plague or something.
