I just remember hearing something about airborne back then.. I wonder if that's whats got India so bad right now.. Must have been on a right wing rag because that is where I first read of the likelihood too. Took mainstream a little while to catch up. 😏 Thinking the India problem might be that treatment drug prices going through the roof. Read stories of people having to pay large sums of money for ivermectin and other repurposed drugs that are now in short supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government hinted that social distancing will be scrapped on 21 June but I'm not sure whether that means masks will go too. I'm going to be cautious and wear mine a little longer, if so. Yeah, L.A. County will come out of full lockdown as planned last I heard on June 15th. I'm not sure what the protocols will be either. But, possibly 50% or less indoors....I'm not really sure...because where it's airborne the droplets circulate around. I think many of us would prefer to wear a mask indoors even if we have been vaccinated because of the variants. We will have to see what's what when we cross that bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pancake Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 11 minutes ago, Arielle Popstar said: Total deaths are really no higher now than they were in previous years so would that really be a concern for them? Just their culling of a large segment of the opposing political party probably equals more than the amount they would lose from the premature deaths of those who might die of medical misinformation. And that presupposes that they haven't already lost a segment through not allowing posts promoting healthier lifestyles through nutrition and the repurposed drugs that multiple studies have shown to be efficacious. And here we have the crux of it. What's next Arielle? White replacement theory? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, no, that is not true in your own country either, Arielle. This from StatsCan: Quote From January to mid-December 2020, there were an estimated 296,373 deaths in Canada, representing an excess of 13,798 deaths above and beyond what would have been expected had there been no pandemic. This is about 5% more deaths than expected in that period, after accounting for changes in the population, such as aging, and about 7% more deaths than the 277,276 observed within the same time frame in 2019.https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/210310/dq210310c-eng.htm Note that StatsCan does suggest that from last September, some excess deaths are probably attributable to the indirect effects of the pandemic. Not vaccine taking, but an increase in death among young people from substance abuse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee's point about having to refute every single nutwing fringe theory that is posted here, one at a time, is well-taken. It's exhausting. It is also symptomatic of how we know the deliberate spread of disinformation works. While I'm not suggesting that Arielle is part of some wacky conspiracy herself, the whole premise of "The Big Lie," and the way in which fake news has gained currency over the last decade, is founded upon the principle that you don't bother to defend your "points" rationally -- you just blanket social media with an avalanche of disinformation. Throw enough crap at the wall, and some of it will inevitably stick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Gregoire Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Never argue with Innula. She will beat you down with facts and figures backed up with more evidence than you could read in a lifetime. I'm sure someone will find this post offensive and report it so I probably won't be posting again. I hope whoever is behind it never has to deal with what they dish out. I wouldn't wish how that feels on my worst enemy. Maybe some day some brave soul will have the backbone to tell me why everyone hates me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's kind of brilliant. And wrong about yourself. I don't think anyone hates you.

It was just reported last week the majority of Americans agree with Bidenomics, so the country is coming together a bit better than it has been in months prior with party politicking and parties putting up divides.

Of course not. Note that I didn't use the phrase "right wing" in my post. As I've said before, the issue isn't right vs. left. It's fact-driven and rational vs. the misinformed or deliberately misleading. What we all need to see is real conservatives -- the rational, intelligent, and responsible ones -- stepping up and seizing control of the conservative agenda back from the conspiracy buffs, as well as responding intelligently to the pandemic. And we are seeing some of that. We need to pray that they succeed. We need an articulate and intelligent right wing.
