What impact has the corona virus on you?

I've posted that article on FB, very well done.

Nice.  How long until the "fact checkers" come for it I wonder?  

3, 2, 1...

This is a really interesting article that shed some light on things I wasn't aware of (namely regarding details about the vaccine manufacturers).  It's an easy read and to-the-point, though very well-researched and quite thorough.

Great article.  I bookmarked it to my PC and phone.

Cool!  It's a great resource and provides a lot of good talking points.  One thing I'm curious to research more is #9 on the list: that they were only ever intended to reduce one's symptoms - not protect anyone from getting or transmitting the bug.  Does the vaccine do anything at all to reduce transmission?  If not, the biggest reason to get the vaccine is moot: that you're selfishly putting everyone else at risk by not getting it and that if everyone gets the vaccine, this virus will go away.

Boss's wife on ventilator and not doing well. The school nurse told my wife yesterday there are no ventilators available in the county, all of them are currently being used. A coworker friend just got out of the hospital. Luckily he wasn't on a ventilator but he said all the beds were so full they had patients in the hallways. One of our local Walmarts shutdown for 3 days to disinfect the whole store because of employees and customers getting sick. 

Be in prayer for my boss's wife. He was hospitalized as well but is no back at work. I'll ask him how she is doing when he gets in this morning.

Praying for your Boss and his wife.

Our local hospital's Covid ward is full (hasn't been full for more than 8 months).  Getting to the point where they are contemplating doubling up people in rooms like they had to do last year.

The ICUs in Tennessee are overwhelmed.  They are now shipping patients to Georgia where there are a few beds in ICUs in some smaller towns.

Target, Walmart, and Home Depot have all made workers start wearing masks again and are strongly urging everyone to mask up.  McDonald's will REQUIRE everyone coming inside to wear them.

The mask mandates will return in my opinion as will the shutdowns.  I look for the commie Demoncrats to force shutdowns to help them totally wreck our nation and bring us more in line with a one world government.

What is your alternative solution to reduce the number of cases from overwhelming hospitals throughout the country (world)?



I don't have a plan.  What I do know is that when you do a comparison of places with strict mask mandates versus those with little or none, you get the same uptick of cases.  However, most of the places with relaxed restrictions showed dropping numbers much quicker than those with strict mandates.

We tried the whole masking thing and it obviously didn't work. To keep doing the same thing while expecting different results would be ludicrous.

The entire county school system I work for is closed this week.  We have so many staff and students either with the virus or contact traced making them stay home that we cannot effectively run the schools.  On Friday, we had 33 buses not running, 208 teacher absences, and were short 96 subs to man classrooms.  So, we are using our snow days and shutting the schools (all of them) down for a week.

If you go by what's happening in Israel, Iceland and Great Britain who are seeing huge numbers of hospitalized among the vaxxed it's going to get real dire here.

Biden said it won't happen so the U.S. is good.

And the Taliban won't take over Afghanistan.

There aren't any Taliban in Afghanistan.

My 6th grade daughter said only 8 students showed up in first period. She said there are normally 18-20 in her class. Before the day was done she and another girl were sent home to quarantine so I assume only 6 kids left.

My wife's hospital is so full of Covid patients that they have started doubling them up in single rooms.  No spare space in ICU either.  Apparently it's getting very close to what it looked like last year when they were buried with Covid patients.

Well, that week off from school went by quick!  I hope our numbers are way down so we can keep some resemblance of a normal school year.

We will return with "masks recommended" but they are not mandatory.

This is nothing more than a power grab by the national Education Dept.  In Tennessee, the governor has given school systems the power of choice.  Masking in the schools is not prohibited as this suit would suggest.  Individual counties have the ability to decide for themselves.

As far as the SPED kids go, they were in school 4 days a week last year when everyone else was doing hybrid and attending only 2 days per week.  TN should be able to argue that PREFERENTIAL treatment was given to these kids.  During that time, they were masked as were staff whether we wanted to be or not.  This suit also doesn't consider any of these kids with disabilities that wearing a mask might be detrimental to their health if they already have breathing issues.  Even this year, several of these kids are masking up by parents' requests as it should be.

This is our government forcing more government control.  Our republic will not be a republic much longer if we don't stop this insanity.

My local school system voted last night to bring back the mask mandates effective Friday, September 10.

I have a new supply of clear face shields that cover only my nose and mouth so that my glasses don't fog up.  I can fill out a form for an exemption as per the TN governor's orders, but I don't want to have to go to the doctor to try to get that filled out.  So, I will wear the least possible mask I can.

My brother has just informed me that he has been diagnosed with COVID.  He seems to be fine although pretty sick.  He will be getting the monoclavial antibodies tomorrow.

Keep him in your prayers.

For those of you that know him, he tends to be fairly private on things like this and vocal about others.  He hasn't made this public, so please just keep it to yourselves unless he does post about it.

Also, Justin Murr, the guy behind Liberty N Justice, is in the ICU on a ventilator with COVID.

This just in: our inglorious Cadaver-in-Chief is seeking to nationally mandate the vaccine.

I heart Fascism.

My daughter hasn't had a full week of school yet. After returning from quarantine for one day the school shutdown. She tested negative. She wears her mask at all times in school except lunch. She turns 12 in Oct and wants the vaccine. She wants to get it on her Bday.

Update on boss's wife. Still in ventilator and not looking good. Doctors told him she has a less than 20% chance to survive as of yesterday.
