Moving the Goalposts Again

The leftists in many state governments are actively attempting to wreck the economy in the hopes of removing the current Administration in DC. This is what Virginia had in place, but it's basically the same across the country:
  • Moving downward: percentage of positive tests over 14 days
  • Moving downward: hospitalizations over 14 days
  • Enough hospital beds and intensive care capacity
  • Increasing and sustainable supply of PPE
Most states have reached three of these four goals. So of course, that means they can reopen. Even Illinois downsized the McCormick Place Field Hospital from 3,000 beds to 2,000 to 1,000 beds, with under 100 being utilized this past week (UPDATE: under 30).

Then dems across the country started demanding a massive medical stockpile to be in place to treat everyone before reopening. Except you don't store medicines until you have them....doctors administer them when needed, so it's almost impossible to meet this condition seeing as how the stockpile (and the need) are constantly fluctuating.

Then they said the country needed adequate ventilators. The announcement from Washington is that there are ten-thousand ventilators available for immediate distribution with hundreds more being made each day. New York City is now offering excess ventilators to smaller out-of-state hospitals.

The latest crap coming out of democrats is that we have to wait until there is a vaccine available so we can send our kids back to school safely. Question: How is that HIV vaccine working out for everyone? Has Boystown been shut down until there's a vaccine? That would be since....1983. So a mere 37 years ago? We can hold out that long, right?

In the history of the world, there have been only two viral diseases eradicated by a vaccine - smallpox and rinderpest. Each took decades to develop and administer. This is yet another impossible metric being set by the left to attain a political end they can't meet otherwise.

Add to that a certain mayor getting a haircut, a certain governor's family jetting off to Florida, entire legislative bodies hiding and failing to carry out the duties they were elected to do, relying on haphazard "science." It's enough to spark statewide protests and lawsuits, not to mention widespread civil disobedience.

OT but do we have to follow the consent decree any longer ? Only good thing about it was the set Supervisor to PO ratio ? Districts are being stripped of supervisors to go to units while the city sits on part II of the Sergeants exam and holds up recruit training. No overtime! some districts only have 3-5 sgts per entire watch! What happened to the 10 POs to every Sgt ?

Coronaviruses are notoriously squirrelly so anyone waiting for a vaccine is either a total fool or, as suggested, harboring ulterior motives. Given the parties involved I know which one my money's on.


That being said, perhaps it'll be a blessing in disguise. After having spent many years studying various civilizations and their problems I have reached the following conclusions relevant to 21st century Western social trends:

-If both parents are working day jobs away from home, their children will become corrupted by the government-media complex and turn against the parents, themselves, and productive members of society at large

-Many students would be better served by home-schooling or more localized (read: private or at least not regional mega-size student warehouses) education

-Jobs with a high ratio of communication to technical application are not particularly location dependent, which applies to about 80% of the corporate workforce


So if people get back to work but the regressive left wants to play hardball with the kids, it may well backfire on them. A far better future than what we have today is if one parent either drops out of the workforce or works remotely while raising the kids, and the corporate megalith that employs huge numbers of white-collar Americans has just been dragged kicking and screaming into the age of telecommuting. They fought it for 25 years because the power dynamic of bosses with offices lording it over serfs in cubes is oh so indulgent to management egos, but their hand was forced in the most spectacular and complete way imaginable. It's also endangered another of Corporate America's favorite myths--that the only way to get good talent is to locate giant office parks in expensive--dysfunctional libtarded cities and suburbs, since everyone's also been reminded that the most valuable employees are usually smart enough to live far away from that nonsense and don't like their commute.

A whole lot of stuff is in the process of changing, and right thinking folks can play it to their advantage. The small town life is about to get a whole lot more economically viable.

Naw make that November 2024. In the meantime, we can all get in the gov’t free tit while Washington prints money 💰 into infinity. What could go wrong? At least we can continue to save those who would have died in 3 months to 1 year even without Covid-19. Makes sense ... right?

Hint:
Check natural cause of death patterns over the last decade, they hold steady.

Suddenly this year natural cause of death numbers are lower, but a little bit less than the COVID death numbers.

They are taking from one category, and placing them in another more suitable category.

If there was ever a time to overthrow the government, now would be it. Millions of people jobless, eventually homeless, and according to democrats at risk of starvation. That means millions of people with less and less to lose. What stops unrest? Complacency. What are people not going to have when they're homeless and can't provide for their family? Complacency.

To be fair to the Democraps..They didn't say it had to work. They just said there needed to be a vaccine for it. Remember, we have a flu vaccine that only works for the strain going that year. There is also Polio that was pretty much eradicated before the anti vaccers and illegal aliens started coming in droves...This whole mess is a political ploy...but you can't win an argument with facts that are not true...There are other vaccines, but noting has eradicated any virus....Polio, almost...Chickenpox, Hep A&B to non-drug users Diptheria, measles, mumps, rubella, and polio that I know of stop a person from getting it. Flu not so much but helps. Don't know if HPV or Roto helps....

Anyway, there are a lot of proven vaccines.

One other point on eradication of disease by vaccine.

The ONLY reason it was possible with smallpox was because there was NO animal host for the disease. So by tracking down outbreaks and vaccinating around them, it was possible to isolate and eradicate every person who was infected.

Covid is not going to be eradicated. Too many potential animal hosts. We're going to have to learn to live with it.

Fun fact on smallpox... NOTHING stays gone forever.

"Smallpox was eradicated in 1980 but in 2017, Canadian scientists created a smallpox-like virus in a lab using just mail order DNA," says UNSW Sydney Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology Raina MacIntyre. "Now in 2018, these same scientists published a step by step method to create a pox virus in a lab, making the threat of smallpox re-emergence even greater."

Progress is slow but there is hope for an H.I.V. virus. Did you know the federal government allocated 28 billion dollars annually for H.I.V./A.I.D.S. research? Are you aware that the United Sates has budgeted 6.8 billion each year for worldwide global response to H.I.V./A.I.D.S.? Given the amount of re$ources "dedicated" to research, you can bet Cov-19 will be around for 37 years also.

The never for profit Clinton Foundation has requested that their "independent' foundation control the budget to compassionately redistribute funding to eradicate this worldly Chinese-originated pathogen. This foundation has cited their experience in the Haitian Relief efforts after a devastating earthquake. Hillary was the Sec of State and Bill was assigned the task by the U.N. Billions of dollars never made it to the people of color in their times of need. With this amount of money going who knows where, its no wonder this Cov-19 is a never ending crisis that will not go to waste.

The Long Shadow of the 1976 Swine Flu Vaccine ‘Fiasco’
Some, but not all, of the hesitance to embrace vaccines can be traced back to this event more than 40 years ago

The real victims of this pandemic were likely the 450-odd people who came down with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, after getting the 1976 flu shot. On its website, the CDC notes that people who got the vaccination did have an increased risk of “approximately one additional case of GBS for every 100,000 people who got the swine flu vaccine.”

Vaccines are not foolproof. Democrats are proven fools.
There are people who don’t vaccinate their kids and promote their choices, believing vaccines are toxins and cause autism.
These folks are allowed to make “their choice” to get sick or not. Some things politicians allow, some things they want to control.

The IL schools made immunization vaccine mandatory for Mumps, German measles and chicken pox (MMRV)
Common readily available, routinely administered flu shots, tetanus, meningitis, pneumococcal, whooping cough are part of a series of immunization recommendations are not on the list of IL requirements.
But 90% of kids are vaccinated for these any many other diseases.

There are religious exemptions to immunization. There’s even illegal aliens Dems Sanctuary protections that allow to come in without immunizations already sick infected with serious common childhood disease.
So has JB Knackwurst’s doctor E Zeekie ordered have to adopt new IDPH measures?
I don’t think so, but the Dems have plans for schools to prep for the Kovac’s 19 second coming, lots riding on November 3rd.

The hysterical Red4Ed unions are telling teachers to “scream like bloody murder“ and resist Re-opening schools.
Lots of time on their hands with the low e-learning participation they won’t disclose.
Once the socialist elites outfit every kid with their own computer and every household state controlled free WiFi band, guaranteed income, rationed food and structured healthcare, there won’t be need for teachers and exorbitant salaries and benefits. Real smart those teachers are. Yes indeed.

And kid, we remember thousands of people running around with face masks on during the 80's when HIV/AIDS made its appearance, because no one knew any better. It was a sensible universal precaution.

You can sort the data by the different categories which quickly yields some interesting results. Of the 1663 Covid related deaths listed at this moment(it is updated regularly, so it will go up):
1165 were over 70 years of age (70.1%)
1379 were over 60 years of age (82.9%)
1546 were over 50 years of age (92.96%)
42 were under 40 years of age (2.53%)

There's a sensible ground somewhere between "shut everything down" and "go back to normal".

That grounds includes some social distancing, masks etc."

Despite what some of the comments here are suggesting Covid-19 is not minor or the flu.

Now many/most of the people dying from it would have died within months or a few years anyway, but not nearly all.

There are significant numbers of men in their forties and up dying from this and many of them have relatively minor pre existing conditions such as controlled high blood pressure or being borderline obese.

Also those touting the relatively low number of 60K dead don't seem to understand that without the drastic overreach of the last 7 weeks or so those numbers would likely be 5-10 times higher.

We don't want to overstretch the hospitals and they came damn near to breaking in a few places.

The whole idea of flattening the curve is to stretch out the infections so hospitals don't get overwhelmed.

Now mistakes have been made. Postponing elective surgeries was a huge mistake both economically and from a health perspective. Also some of the people dying now are folks afraid to go to ER's for heart attacks etc.

We should have split the hospitals into those that serve all or mostly Covid patients and those that service everyone else. McCormick Place could have been utilized to take the Covid patients out of the regular hospitals and open up the regular hospitals to the more typically sick or injured.

Death rates over the last 6 weeks have basically doubled from the norm. Most of that's directly Covid related and some is indirectly related to heart attack victims etc being afraid to go into the hospital.

Government at all levels has screwed this up. Feds should have stocked up on PPE gear and that goes back decades. Feds should also have stocked up on the chemical reagents needed for the test kits. That's the stuff Trump is blaming Obama for and the truth is both he and Obama and the congress are too blame.

The rant is ended go in peace, wash your hands and wear a mask for fucks sake.

Now it is all about the November elections. Democrats want to ensure the economy is in the shitter and that there is massive unemployment across the nation. Democrats will do anything to ensure Trump isn't reelected and the get total control of Congress so that they can finish the destruction of the United States that Obama started. The power behind the throne is pulling these strings and I can only hope people wake up. Open our nation and get people back to work. Cut unemployment off for anyone refusing to go back to work.

The face masks. It wasn't hard for an entire nation to accept a certain ideology now was it.
When laws are passed to force you to cover your face.
That is Sharia law.

I ranted earlier and forgot some stuff.

We're not likely to get a vaccine anytime soon, but the longer we can keep Covid from spreading the more drug treatments and other treatments we'll have to fight this.

There is a middle ground between massive quarantine and back to normal.

Have people figured this out, that the Dem plan to fight covid is a political strategy to take down Trump and return to their criminal ways? Its becoming obvious, right?
JellyBelly is Madigan's political pawn, the fat kid with no friends except the ones his $$$ bought. He most likely ends up where many Illinois governors do, behind bars. In the meantime, they are willing to destroy the economy and livelihoods to reach democrat nirvana, the drawer in the Oval Office with the checkbook. Aint gonna happen.
Trump will win re-election, then where does Illinois sit?, a broke state that voted dummycrat.
No bailout, just further in debt with more taxes to pay.
For you lucky pensioners, here's what you have to look forward to when the Feds allow Illinois to go through bankruptcy; a lump sum payout of WHAT YOU PAID IN! Good luck with that, should have done the math when you were at the contract table.
The rest of us will watch our home values swirl down the drain do to increased property tax, sales tax, loss of services, increased crime.
You asked for it, You got it!

Yeah lets listen to politicians who feel our pain. Meanwhile almost allgovernment employees are getting paid !!!!!! The ONLY ones that should be getting paid are first responders. Otherwise no free money unless you have to go thru the torture of getting unemployment.

“The leftists in many state governments are actively attempting to wreck the economy in the hopes of removing the current Administration in DC. This is what Virginia had in place, but it's basically the same across the country:

•Moving downward: percentage of positive tests over 14 days
•Moving downward: hospitalizations over 14 days
•Enough hospital beds and intensive care capacity
•Increasing and sustainable supply of PPE”


You realize this is the framework put forth by the White House, right?

"Add to that a certain mayor getting a haircut, a certain governor's family jetting off to Florida, entire legislative bodies hiding and failing to carry out the duties they were elected to do, relying on haphazard "science."

AND!!! Sparklefarts deciding to go play golf last weekend. Completely against the D.C. and Virginia quarantine.

Sorry to be so naive at 65 but I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that a large group of "Americans" (democrats, libs, most media) will intentionally destroy the country for politics. We absolutely have two countries now. Let the dems take over....the Chinese will be rolling moving trucks into most cities. Hell, they practically own most of southern California now.

Vaccines can prevent one from having a disease. Maybe that's what Jay Bob is seeking to return kids to school. If kids didn't have TB, Measles, Chicken Pox, etc. Shots, many would be (gravely) ill from saliva, touching things and airborne droplets. Some of the anti-vaxers' kids had contagious diseases and wish they didn't. 🤮

Officers take note: at his press conference today he was asked about enforcement of his orders- specifically about gatherings at church services. He stated that he can't see churchgoers being pulled out of services. Be careful of being given orders from supervisors....know what you are being asked to enforce and what it is you are doing in public v private spaces. This weekend is going to be an enormous clusterduck.

We aren't comparing viruses. We are comparing "cures" that eradicate viruses, of which there are two, potentially three if polio is eliminated in our lifetimes.

And kid, we remember thousands of people running around with face masks on during the 80's when HIV/AIDS made its appearance, because no one knew any better. It was a sensible universal precaution. If you can find some retired guys, ask them about how they would gear up to remove dead bodies during the height of the disease emergence.


Remember that well. People were scared to go to the gym because of sweat on machines. Then turned out the same precautions that 7th grade health class told us worked, since HIV is a blood to blood transmission. Then off to the wars and learned in 18D school just how nasty contaminants can be, and got to see the results of third world activities, whether they be overseas or a junkie brought in to ER. And yes, there is no miracle vaccine that can be pulled out of some lab rats behind. It takes hard work, and usually a few dead virologists. All for playing it safe, but this panic is a political ploy that is more out of control than the virus. As for the WHO, CDC and DNC, I'm tired of them trying to teach a grandmother to suck eggs. This show had best be concluded soon or we are going to be in the middle of something that ought not occur.

Stay safe out there and watch your six. The assholes at the top have exit plans, and I doubt if the rank and file will be doing anything but holding the bag

"If there was ever a time to overthrow the government, now would be it. Millions of people jobless, eventually homeless, and according to democrats at risk of starvation. That means millions of people with less and less to lose. What stops unrest? Complacency. What are people not going to have when they're homeless and can't provide for their family? Complacency. Time to eliminate the uselessness."

The French Revolution was not caused by the government being comprised of arrogant nobles. It was caused by the government deficit-spending itself to oblivion, with the house of cards coming down when bond service finally sank the budget.

Something to ponder as Washington burns through over a trillion dollars a month.

No vaccine for either SARS or MERS yet.
The other mantra that is no longer being used is that we need these restrictions to “flatten the curve, or keep the rate of new cases low to avoid overloading hospitals with patients." Since the curve is flattening that is no longer the stated objective to continue with the restrictions.

Illinois Governor Balloon-Belly Pritzker doing a horrible job of protecting Senior Citizens from the Corona Virus. NO masks available, no help for seniors who have to go out for food and medical help, no help financially for Seniors who are on fixed income, NO cognative plan to really help anyone in Illinois with anything. Now on top of it he orders everyone to self quarantine, yet his own wife and family members go out and leave out of the State, the utter hypocrisy of the typical State of Illinois Politician Mentality, “Do as I say, Not as I do”. No wonder everyone wants out of this hellhole Illinois.

Heard a recording of asshat saying we get money to buy new uniforms and we should stop whining and use it to buy our own protective masks and gear. I’ve never heard more anti police and pro evil rhetoric in my life. Even in Communist NY Sen Schumer is calling for 4 months without Federal Tax for 1st Responders and these assholes expect CPD going into its 4TH YEAR without a contract, to search on line for our own protective gear. Thank you to Project Veritas for doing the job of our media.

So you honestly believe all the other countries in the world who are also on lockdown, and also suffering great economic fallout, are just colluding with "leftists" to unseat the Trump administration??

It just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Fuck! You are 1000% correct. I still can’t believe people buy moderate houses and pay $17,000 plus a year in property taxes in some places. $310,000 homes now require $11-12,000 in property taxes. A small home commands $5,000 to $7,000 in most areas now. Who the fuck will buy these homes when the taxes creep another 20-30% up? Who?????

Growing up, we had a Russian family in our block. Their son used to freak us out by playing an English version of it on his record player. Really militaristic music. The only words I can remember were: The Great Soviet Union shall live through the ages...
