When did we go from flatten the curve in order to keep hospitals from being over-run...

Hey guys, remember that in a year we have gone from not needing masks to needing two masks. The “ new strains” are going to be very deadly.

First the covid was going away the day after the election, now it's going to last forever.

You guys need to settle on one story. You're all over the place.

I do remember hearing some of my friends say this. "It will be over after the election" Now they are saying the ;eft wants to keep the restrictions in place because of power. Completely hypocritical.

They translate what happens out here in fucking west coast naziville to the rest of the liberal states. I try and tell them that most blue states are not like Wash, Oregon and Cali. Most blue states are more moderate than what we have out here. Its why some of them go red in certain presidential years.

I have seriously considered moving in a year as my Son will graduate from high school this year. Our state is an utter embarrassment. The whole west coast is an embarrassment for that matter politically. Its the equivalent of the Mississippi's and Alabama's on the right side. Just closed minded and wrong.

What blue states are more moderate that what you have out here? New York? Illinois? Maryland? Most blue states are just as Rat fuck crazy as what you have out there.

Michigan
Minnesota
Pennsylvania
Virginia
Wisconsin
Colorado
New Mexico

Some of these are tweener states but most lean left by a fair amount.


Washington
Oregon
California
New York
Mass
Conn
Maryland
Rhodey

These are all far left states with California king of the castle

Insert the southeast for the far right states.

I'm just saying that we should not think of all liberals the same way we think of washington liberals. We should also not think of Republicans the same way we think of southern republicans.

This whole Brazil thing is laughable

They have 20% less deaths per capital and a higher IFR. So they have nowhere near the infection level we have. The new variant down there isn't reinfecting people in the masses....its infecting people who never had it with a few retreads along the way. If people bothered to read and research these fear mongering articles they would realize the reinfections are rare even with the variant. Even if they undercounted their deaths the transmittivity level of the variant means the herd immunity will be closer to 80% than 65-70%. This will be irrelevant in the USA as we are already past the 50% mark combing infections with vaccinations per the CDC and IHME

States that voted for Trump or that have had Republican Govs and or Senators in the last 4 years aren't really very blue. More like Purple. Look of at the states that Trump lost big like California and New York or that haven't had a Republican Senator in over 10 years and then you're comparing apples to apples. The nuts in New York are no different than the nuts in Oregon.

I remember pretty well that early on in this thing the belief was that nearly everyone who could get the virus would get the virus and that we needed to protect the old people and just slow the spread so that people who got the vid and needed hospitalization would have a bed available to them. Somewhere along the line that changed to nobody should ever get the virus and we should keep everything locked down until we can guarantee that.

When the authoritarians (fascists) like Jay Chinslee and Adolph Newsom figured out the sheeple wouldn't fight back, they tightened the screws and changed the narrative.

You do remember when 'liberal' meant being in favor of the rights of the individual and protection against government intrusion into one's civil liberties, right? That word got re-defined and it's now 'progressive' to limit the individual's unalienable rights and allowing the state to determine what is best for the individual....as long as it is exactly what the state wants.

I still think that their desire to shut everything down was more about hurting Trump then it ever was about the vid and now they have to continue that narrative because they're totally committed to it.

How is it that I could go into a Costco packed with people all through out this pandemic but I couldn't go to a barber with just me and the barber in the room?

or the fact that pot shops were open but gyms were closed.

Agree with New York. They give california a run for the most looney toon liberals in the USA

This is an example of the liberal politicians not representing their liberal voters.

I dont know one everyday life Democrat that agreed with this.
