Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Sea Ray]

How do you do a non-political Covid thread?

I don't think they're successful in keeping politics out of it but see for yourself:

Coronavirus (No politics)

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

No. We're better than that.

Really?

They weren't.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

This wouldn't apply to the Capitol would it?

Or airplanes unfortunately

 

[AshG]

Really?

They weren't.

So? Be better. Don't give in to primal lizard brain urges.

The CDC's Explanation for Its Reversal on School Mask Mandates Is Transparently Dishonest

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Revenge is not justice. Revenge is visceral, lizard-brain reaction. Feels good for a while, but that good feeling requires replenishing. A new target for revenge later.

I speak from experience. I work through these feelings regularly. Hurt people hurt people.

The higher order reaction with a much longer lasting effect comes through policy and polity. Slow down, let the adrenaline pass, and find a way forward that protects the rights and opportunities of the abled and compromised equally.

I know the psychological best response. I’m asking from a perspective of letting evil run unchecked as a believer. Yes policy and polity are great but they take time. Being a Christian means being humble, it doesn’t mean being a doormat. People who do harm to innocents are warned in the Bible multiple times. I have in the past felt righteous indignation against those harming children and didn’t stand still and just let it happen. I intervened.
Just because the masking has been more insidious over 2 years does not relieve those with lying mouths, and an agenda that harms children to escape their actions. Justice would be all the school boards who still support masking children to lose their seats of tenuous power and replace them with people who realize parents are the ultimate arbiter of their children’s welfare.
I’m also of the belief that ultimately any evil done to me will be dealt with by God and have lived that way for years. Standing by and watching children be harmed is not something I can abide.

I remember the verses in the Bible where Jesus politely asked the moneychangers and sellers to leave the temple.

What ever happened to mad4vols? I guess he just got tired of getting called out for his stupidity.

He's still posting vaccine memes in the thread in the Pub.

Poor guy. I think it’s time for his fourth booster.

One can only submit themselves to so much abuse. It's a shame those who didn't agree with him couldn't just leave him alone and let him be.

David Buuck needs to hit the road. His own words were used against him in the latest filing from the plaintiffs causing the mask issue in Knox County. He also said that he couldn’t submit news articles in filings, yet the plaintiffs’ lawyers just did. Buuck is a liar and purposefully working against the people of Knox county.

He took the asinine position that a non-masker in Detroit was a danger to an immunocompromised octogenarian in Phoenix. So he got everything he deserved.

 

[AshG]

So he got everything he deserved.

People smiled wanly, said "That's nice," and went on about their business?

 

[MG1968]

And when politely challenged, he disappeared quicker than LG or EL.

That kind of stupidity needs to be engaged.

It's a message board. If you don't want to interact or have your posts challenged then why are you here?

 

[VolinWayne]

The opposition is much stronger than most people understand. The bitch of this whole thing is that so many of the people we SHOULD actually be listening to are afraid to speak out because of corporate/practice/hospital system pressure. This is exactly why I've never even considered selling out to big business. Several local providers have had enough and decided that they will step up to the plate.

We need more docs like you who do what's right and speak out. Thanks for doing your part.

 

[2EastTnVols]

It was a "winter of suffering and death" or something that we were all looking at. Now they're at this point.

How can anybody take these goobers seriously?

I guess by "winter of suffering and death" he was referring to the citizens of Ukraine.

Hey, @kiddiedoc

Was the Jacob’s/Zachary thing what you got wind of, or is there something else brewing as well?

Part of it.

Let's just say the new suit has a lot more behind it than a handful of fed-up parents.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

It was never about the science.

I think we can safely say at this point that it was about getting Trump out and punishing their political enemies afterwards.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

When the mask mandates in KCS are soon gone, the hand full of parents who started all this need to suffer consequences for all $ and grief that they have caused.

How do you make them pay? Kick them out of the weekend bridge game?

It's a nice idea, but there won't be anything done.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No. We're better than that.

Actually, we're not.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

UT’s. Matt Kredich. He and his wife are buddies with the lawyers that brought the suit and the wife has been involved with the lawsuit on the sidelines acting like they just randomly call her for advice because she’s an expert on things. She’s been involved in previous lawsuits against KCS as well.

Universities are the playpens of these type of bullies. It has gotten to the point where we may need to raze every last one of them and start over.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Were does justice begin then?

There is no justice in America. Where have you been? Criminals walk the streets free and the law abiding live in fear and constant duress. Gotham City...
