Ground zero for coronavirus has become a very somber place...

Everyone is wearing masks.

Social distancing has become the norm.

And people are all staying at home.

BTW, my apologies if this was posted already... it's been a while since I've been on this site, but when I saw this on the 18th it really cemented in my mind the ridiculousness of everything going on right now. Figured I'd share it here as long as I was on today just in case others hadn't seen these images yet.
And yes, these images are all from Wuhan earlier this month. And the park pictured here is currently serving about 15,000 people every weekend.
I saw those. I keep telling people, the train left the station, masks and distancing are not going to stop what this virus will do period. I read a report out of Sweden talking about herd immunity achieved at 20% due to finding hig levels of T-cells which are equally maybe more important than antibodies the,selves. Many American cities have herd immunity by now with by this evaluation. After all,the problem with Aaids Is the degradation of T- cells part of precursors of immunity. Color me frustrated with politicizing disease.
Here’s the link to T-cell discussion. https://youtu.be/CwQpg62Kflg
As a country, and world for that matter, we've (at least some of us) have been had. Fortunately for me my background in lobbying, marketing, and journalism helps me easily spot BS, particularly from politicians and the MSM. Trouble is most of us are so programmed to believe authority figures or so-called experts that we are slow to question what they are telling us even when our instinct/intuition tells us something is not quite right. I am dumbfounded at the number of people who still believe the actions of our governors, mayors and health officials are about protecting us from a virus. I have to turn off the news most days now to avoid becoming enraged by people's utter stupidity. And don't get me started on what these insane policies are doing to children, physically and emotionally.
Not only that, the measures in place are damaging to our bodies, especially our immune systems because they limit our fresh air, our ability to exercise, our social interactions and increase our stress and anxiety.
I get it really. After working in hospital for 37 years as RN, I’m dumbfounded how quickly even my colleagues jumped on following, like laws, recommendations which, especially under democrat rule, have not been lifted. My state has a reasonable Governor but the democrat mayor has been doing what all the other democrats have done. I live in Alaska where, though we had a spike after lockdown our death rate is @.0014%. Yet we have mask police everywhere shaming those who understand immunity. My physician friends comply reluctantly. Our mayor who owns several restaurants etc., has given himself special dispensations.
I just get outraged.,don’t even get me going on mail in voting issues. when did people get their brains pumped out?
Speaking of voting issues... Did you know that when Lincoln was running for re-election there was a massive plot to steal the election from him by the democrats using the newly formed mail in voting system? They filled crates with forged ballots based on wounded, sick and dead soldiers and even towards the end started making up people that never existed.
And when they got busted and the Democrats involved started going to jail they called the trials "another aspect of a conspiracy conducted by the president to ensure his reelection" and after his landslide victory they tried to question the legitimacy of the vote. Eventually the unrest lead to Lincoln's assassination as we all know. I just can't help but think that history is eerily similar right about now.
Let's just hope that Trump doesn't go to the theatre any time soon...
@Drenathor hear hear! I did not know that backstory on Lincoln. I have noted the setup looks just like that though. It’s time to put all those elected with ties to our enemies or at least communist governments etc. Out to pasture and at minimum expose them mightily. I was stunned how many there are in Congress, yup all democrats, guess they finally arrived at critical mass. They no longer hide so much.
I’m sadden that my father, who Preached at us every dinner, about communist plans and what to look for. I used to be very vocally against those lessons. Then one day in my Late twenties I realized he was correct. I told my husband in the 90’s, when the last of WWII vets pass, the communists will come out and make their move. He thought then I was drinking special cool aid. Now he just says, I’m not as ethereally connected as you.
I have been preparing for worst case coming. Course it does have something to do with growing up in Mormon country. Hey it’s not all bad. No I’m not Mormon though I hale from founders and polygamists. That’s probably too much info eh?
thanks for all your doing out there with info. I love it and glad at times I can shoot something worthy your way.
@char1 I know right?! I actually want to go back now and study McCarthyism a bit more. Everyone said the second red scare was just finger pointing without real evidence and that the allegation that communists were infiltrating our country was just republican fear mongering.
Now though as you said the democrats arn't even really bothering to hide it. It would be really interesting to get lists of the people accused and trace them and their contacts forward in history and see who they connect to these days (sadly though that's a project I don't know that I'll ever find the time to pull off personally).
Haha yeah well I've jokingly said to my friends that although I'm not a mormon, I'd feel much safer living in a mormon town if civil war broke out because at least I'd know my neighbors would likely be armed, more conservative in their viewpoints, and probably even stockpiled up on supplies so I wouldn't have to worry about them coming for me and could know that they would likely defend their town from rioters.
My dad was also a WWII vet and was against communism. It would break his heart to see what's happening in the country now. He also didn't trust our government officials but had reasons not to as he worked many years at NSA and although he never provided details of what he did, he warned us many, many times that our government is filled with shady characters who have no morals. To be fair, he stayed as long as he did to care for his family, but eventually left because he was becoming more aware of things being done that didn't sit right with him as a Christian. I think the reason the Dems and even some Republicans are so against Donald Trump is because he isn't government establishment, he actually cares about the American people, and is wanting to expose their shenanigans.
Sounds like same stuff my father told us. My father faught what’s called the forgotten war, what occurred out on the Aleutian Islands. He did lots of thing including signal corps.he was really upset when I moved to Alaska 47 years ago. No wonder it was a tent city when he was stationed here. He would also be very upset how things are now. He was apoplectic in the 60’s and was constantly hammering home how communists were behind it all.
I concur about Trump.he was fawned over and loved until the day he announced running under GOP ticket. I actually like the fact, what you see is what you get from him. He’s so New Yorker in manner. I think he plays a long game and the media and democrats just don’t get how he sets them up all the time. I don’t know how he tolerates this constant bashing and lying about him. I don’t want perfect, I want logical policies which he seems to bring. I pray that he is re-elected and that the rioting gets under control.
@dee.king64 Yeah as much as I anticipate we won't see many high level people brought to justice I'd like to hope that under Barr and Trump we will see as many people prosecuted as possible and removed from government over the next 4 years (assuming Biden doesn't become president).
Trump has fulfilled so many campaign promises but I still would like to see "lock her up" come to fruition. Hilary has evaded jail since 1974 when she was violating house rules, trying to manipulate the system to avoid investigations into Nixon, writing erroneous legal briefs, confiscating documents and so on. After she got fired from the house judiciary committee her old boss described her as ethically unfit to be a senator or president but those in the democrat camp don't care I guess...
Honestly in the past I've always laughed at people who would say, "this is the most important election of our lifetimes" as they would say it every year without fail. But honestly I feel like the soul of America is on the line this time. I don't know that it will be saved if Trump becomes president but it will at least preserve her for a few more years.
