Ah got it. I sure read that wrong.

As far as the pepper spray it was excessive but don't sit in the middle a damn freeway. There are rules to legal protesting. Don't understand why they think it's ok to block freeways. But I guess it's your choice to reap the consequences. Also is there more footage of that incident?

Where does this fad of webcasting pictures of print things come from? It's getting old already.

Cute item.

TRUMPISM IS A DEATH CULT

https://publicleadershipinstitute.or...-a-death-cult/

Quote:
Trumpists who say that, by refusing to wear a mask and social distance, they are only risking their own health are astonishingly ignorant. Anyone paying the least attention understands that people who are infected spread the disease while asymptomatic, which may continue a few days or for weeks. Trumpists are sickening and sometimes killing their own families and friends.

But worse than those who spread COVID person-to-person are the political and media operatives who have willfully spread lies about the disease. They are playing the role of Jim Jones and his thugs who stood over people with rifles, encouraging and forcing them to drink the poisoned Kool Aid. They are monsters.

Just pick and choose who gets shut down.

Search this and you can find the actual document.
texas executive order ga 28

Paragraph 1. Have as many people as close as you want for these places.

Paragraph 2. These must stay at 50% or below.

Paragraph 3. As long as your 6 feet apart who cares how many people are in the building.

Paragraph 5. Guess it's up to authorities?

Paragraph 6. If you make 51% of money on alcohol sales your shut down. If you make 50% on alcohol sales your good to go at 50% capacity.

Paragraph 7. no one is allowed inside at all for any reason.

Paragraph 8. Really come on. Do they think the rental companies could not sanatize equipment between uses just like a "restaurant" is supposed to sanitize tables? Also remember a pool can operate at 50%

Does anyone else see the contradictions in these rules?

Let us face it we screwed up!

When give the chance to control this virus we failed!


A total shut down world wide is what was called for.
For a month or more.


Yet as a species we as always took the easy approach. Till push to the inevitable or forced by events.

If a total across the board world wide shut down was implemented. Who knows what would of been the results. May well have been stopped in it's tracts. A true hit or miss, hodgepodge almost random at times steps implemented. Doing little overall.

This is coming from a non medical professional. Just a educated one who, being trained as an engineer and having biomedical electronics studies. Can tell you I believe in science and the people who practice.

This should of been left to the medical experts with the politicians following instructions.


Again world wide for a good time period.

Reevaluated on an ongoing time line................


NOT SO!


This is now what we have!

Do you really think the entire world could actually handle being shut down for 2 months or more? Yeah who knows but that's not feasible at all? And do you really think that would get rid of the virus? If that's the case sure let's all shut down worldwide then covid and all flu viruses would be eliminated correct?
