Is it over yet?
Florida beaches are about to open back up this weekend. I know a number of business owners who have reached the "fuck it" stage and are about to quietly resume operations. People as a whole are starting to wake up to the fact that you can't really allow the government to tell you to stay at home. It's not American. The government can provide you information and inform you of the risks, but if you're free? You have the right to take that risk.
We are ALWAYS at risk. Every day. Everything we do is a calculated risk. No government (federal, state or local) truly has the right to tell me I cannot open my business. Employees can choose to stay home and I can accommodate them (or not). Customers can stay away, at which point I have a decision to make. But I'm just not sure the government actually has the authority to close my business or anyone else's unilaterally like this.
First please note that despite the dismissiveness of some(wes)one on here, Kaos was 1000% right on every bit of this shit (as usual).
This virus, such as it is, is most likely man-made in China. You, we, will never find out the truth but if you did you'd likely find Bill Gates, George Soros, Hillary Clinton and others of that ilk lurking in the background. There was something fishy (or batty) about this from the very beginning. Too many things didn't add up/make sense. And Kaos TOLD YA'LL'S ASS what was up from the jump.
Second? The absolute panic unleashed by the dire predictions from Chicken Little Fauci, that shrimpy Demented Dr. Death fuck, is completely unwarranted. It is a balls out over-reaction and if anything, has worsened the situation.
a) The massive run on hospitals hasn't happened and won't happen. Those frightening tent cities they built that were all over the news? Those fucking things are quietly being dismantled because NOBODY EVERY WENT TO ONE. They stood empty. Don't believe the fucking sad-sack commercials of nurses with their faces scarred from plague masks. They are BULLSHIT. Wear a mask to the grocery store and get a few things. Your face will look like that too.
Here's a conversation I had with an actual nurse two days ago. It started with some self-serving picture she was sending around with the comment "I can't shelter in place, I'm a nurse holding down the front lines of this war!" on it. She followed that with "hospitals simply can't keep up with the overwhelming need. People are literally dying and we can't do anything about it. All we can do is our best and pray that God leads us through this wilderness." So I asked her how many COVID patients she's seen. Two. She's seen two. One is/was critical and is also 84 years old. So she's overwhelmed? No, but she's sure they will be, we haven't reached the peak yet. Really? So what's her 'peak expectation'? Thousands. Could be thousands. Based on what? People not practicing social distancing, THAT'S what! Are you questioning how serious this is, or what we're going through? What are you going through, really. Two patients in over a month? How DARE I diminish the round-the-clock work being put in by doctors and nurses, they are the REAL heroes in this fight. We'll never win with idiots like you out there. *sigh* Two patients since March 16. Two. Amen.
Kaos told you all this was bullshit from the start. Remember that.
b) The number of COVID deaths is greatly exaggerated. Don't believe me? Look at the statistics. Even though we've suffered such a tremendous loss from this dreaded pandemic, we can take comfort and solace in the fact that other diseases have been miraculously cured. While COVID deaths spiked, the number of people dying from heart disease, pneumonia and the regular flu plummeted to historic lows!! We are so, so truly blessed!!
It's bullshit people. Kaos told you and is telling you again.
c) I don't care if you stay six feet away, ten feet away or wrap yourself in a condom. You WILL get exposed to this and in all likelihood already have been. A very small number of you will show any symptoms. Of that minuscule number, a tiny percentage will notice anything beyond some mild aggravation. Of that even tinier number, a teeny fraction will actually suffer harmful effects. BUT THOSE ARE THE MOTHERFUCKERS WE WILL SEE ALL OVER FACEBOOK AND THE MEDIA! Fuck the 100,000 who have/had it and weren't bothered. Let's focus elsewhere so Fear Factor can ramp up again.
It's all bullshit. This is a man-made virus/bug. It is a test. Somebody is testing something either for the release of a true pandemic or to see just how far we will let the government go in stripping away our freedoms in the name of safety.
We are giving away things now that we will never get back. The "stimulus money" is all well and good (I won't get a single cent of it, dammit) but at the same time it has reached out and put a hook in every single person in the country who takes it. It's made them/us ignore our innate American spirit of freedom, hard work, enterprise and sacrifice and latched us firmly on the government titty.
And Kaos done told you again.
