Yeah! Well, I don’t take kindly to being referred to as a racist!

Do you?

Your reference to girls though is funny. I know women that will take most men’s head off on this forum in about a minute or less from my mma school.

Very well put Andrew. Time for everyone to get back to work making for a productive US economy again.

It's coming (back to work), and people are soooooo jonsin' to work. My wife has been asking daily since march when will she be able to get back to work.

People are very unaware of just how small the statistical spread of covid is; here are some hard facts: what's the highest covid official daily death toll: about 2000 in the usa, now close to 1000… how many is the NORMAL death toll for the usa: 7000… does that mean that we went up to 9000 deaths/day at the peak and now are 8000? It assuredly does not. I do not know what those totals are and i don't think that the people that do know will tell us because it will make the 'nanny (police) state' look really really bad. Think about it this way; if the peak death rate went from 7000 to 8000 at the peak of covid death rates (which we are past that point by a couple weeks at least now), that is FOURTEEN PERCENT increase in the normal daily death toll of the usa. It's a large total number of people sure, because we have 330 million or so in the usa; compare the number next year to the number of suicides it will be a bigger number in 2021 kill themselves (for certain) than the *actual* number of direct covid deaths in 2020 (a number we will never know due to the puffing of numbers that the doctors and cdc openly admit too); another example; in Hamburg Germany they did autopsies on the 2500 or so covid deaths; 100% of them had significant health risks that were just pushed pass the limit by covid; covid was not the primary cause of death (but was listed by WHO etc as a covid death).

I will make another note of personal importance; using masks as routine is not healthy; I contracted a horrible sinus infection due to not being able to clear my nose of food that i coughed into my sinus ; the combination of taking almost a week to figure out, difficulty in getting a diagnosis and the antibiotics that took out my good gut bacteria put me out of commission for nearly 3 weeks; (to be clear; wearing a mask for going to stores and working in a client's house made me quite sick for 3 weeks); food for thought.

I predict by next year when people can actually figure out (as the CDC* pointed out today it's not really transmitted via hard surfaces like table or door knob) how hard it really is to transmit and figure out who is really susceptible and why (is it environment or genetics)? Why are the hospitalized 45% black when that is 3x the usa demographic? Is is because of the higher density of blacks in inner city or like sickle cell anemia is it genetic? in any event, if cv19 doesn't disappear we will have studies to know the answer to who actually is affected by it and get through 2021 informed vs completely ignorant. Also once people get it that we have things in the works to get informed and start building new factories to bring mfg. back to america etc, buy stocks any stocks all stocks, it will shoot like a rocket.

Andrew, the masks cause you to take in more carbon dioxide. Very unhealthy.

for me the bacteria trying to burrow into my brain* was worse than the CO2, but studies show that people that are high risk for headaches are FAR more likely to have headaches or worse headaches if they wear masks long term.

* anybody who's had a sinus infection with that distinctive 'behind the eye' headache knows exactly what i mean.

The masks are effective to help slow cough based germ spreading, but for every 10,000 people wearing a mask there might be 1 person that actually needs it; there needs to be a way to more or less track where the risk is to use protective devices when needed. I only wear my ear plugs when i'm operating loud tools.

*people know* where the high-risk zones of america are; they won't tell us because it's primarily 'inner city' and looks bad if they would plot that on a map. If they would put out a cv density map so people would know where to wear protective devices, they would be able to squash the spread of the disease without crippling the entire usa; why the heck should MT have to close their business when you could probably french kiss the entire population w/o catching covid.

Mask combined with constant hand washing. I started this thread touting the use of soap to kill off bacteria and virus like covid-19.l on ur hands.
