    It’s a fukin mask!

    We’ve been lied to about this virus since the beginning. Lied about the steps being taken to stop it. Lied to about the lockdowns, lied to about when they would end and the purpose, lied to about infection rates, lied to about death rates. People were called extremists for protesting to open their businesses and now we are being told rioters may have slowed the spread.

    At this point I believe nothing and will take my chances.

    Well, 150,000 people a year die from lung cancer and the govt only adds taxes to cigarettes. And this is from a smoking population of only about 10% of the general population. Why not require all smokers to use special filters to prevent cancer? Dozens of other examples that show how the Covid issue is being treated differently because of the media.

    I don't know if it's BECAUSE of the media, but the media is sure pumping the fear.
    Pisses me off, because my dear old mom has bought into it and is in a panic.

    So, we invented this drinking game. Line up shots of your favorite. Every time they say a key word, take a shot:
    Surge, peak, alarming, disturbing, (add your own to the list).

    Unprecedented times, uncertain times, out of an abundance of caution.

    I’d also like to give props to data transparency at Texas Medical Center. They do a great job telling the whole story. Just two examples current as of Jun 30.

    How does one find out how many ventilators are available?
    Supposedly, none will be available by Saturday.


    ETA: replaced intubators with ventilators

    You need to know how many are trained and on the job at any given time. They could be paramedics nurses or dr or even respiratory techs.











    I know, I'm sorry. I know you meant ventilators but I couldnt resist.

    I’m still wondering why if this virus is so deadly and contagious that we don’t see any biohazard boxes anywhere to dispose of the used masks and gloves potentially contaminated with the virus. Instead they are disposed of in the regular garbage or in the case of corpitos they are left in the parking lots next to the dirty diapers.
    Don't question the narrative! That's dangerous!

    Those are good adds! Most of those I hear in advertising, though. And immediately tune out whatever they say after it...
    The ones I hate even more?
    "We're in this together".

    Yep. Lots of propaganda everywhere, every medium.

    How do I know it’s propaganda?

    Definition of propaganda
    1 capitalized : a congregation of the Roman curia having jurisdiction over missionary territories and related institutions
    2 : the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person
    3 : ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause
    also : a public action having such an effect
