They have them on eBay
 
The boys at the CDC may end up going the way of Pepe Le Pew and the polar bear. They should have known better.

 
I’m currently in the free state of Missouri and loving it, no masks here unless “You” choose to wear one, which I’m down with, wear one if you want. I’m not.

also not looking forward to returning to a mask mandate. I actually left the house without one today. Shame on me.

I will say, while the Wisconsin governor says to wear a mask, the Wisconsin supreme court is republican, and said that the governors mandates arent legal. Most places I go to, hardly anyone is wearing one. Although some stores still require it.

In Minnesota, I am seeing less and less sheep out there every day wearing them. I still try to bring a mask with me, then if the store employees tell me I have to wear a mask, I put one on after a little grumbling. But it is getting less and less that anyone tells me to put a mask on. And I am seeing more people without one on in the stores.

I have 2.5 months left of living in MN, then I move full time to Wisconsin. Cant wait!
 
Shed those blue plates :emoji_wink:
 
Uh oh. The rabble rousers are starting to stray. I suspect with the exception of CO and IL the center will turn from orange

I’m amused that ABC chose cheeto orange to depict the obedient states.

Yes the Republicans are saying the governor is breaking the law, but are doing nothing about it. If you were coming from anywhere else I'd say stay where you are until the next election. We'll remove this useless sack of shi....bones and put in a good governor again.
If we had a majority republican state Supreme court we could go after the bunch of criminals In the state capitol and maybe put an end to this stupidity. But as it is we voted in Hagedorn, the Democrat who misled us into thinking he was a clear headed conservative.
Numbers are reported as the lowest since last summer and still we have to keep our underwear over our face to stay alive. Wtf..
 
Well, I will move there and help you vote out that idiot in Wisconsin, because MN has no hope what so ever. The entire metro is sitting back and waiting for Walz to tell them it is safe to do anything.
 
I had brought this up a while back, and it was reported on by WCCO in MN, but then when brought it up in here, WCCO took out the numbers, and reworded the report so it didnt sound like positive news. This is basically a copy of the original article I read from WCCO when I brought it up. How dare a WCCO journalist make a story with real numbers, I am sure that person was fired, then they reworded the article so it didnt sound like good news.


MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Although health officials warn that it's too soon for the nation to let down its guard in the fight against the coronavirus, many indicators point to a gradual easing of the pandemic, including a sharp drop in the number of new hospitalizations.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that admissions of confirmed COVID-19 patients has fallen by two-thirds since their peak in early January, with the seven-day average dropping from 16,540 on Jan. 9 to 5,490 on March 2. The latter figure was nearly 15 percent lower than the week before.


Still, the pressure on hospital capacity has not disappeared, federal figures show.




The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which has been tracking the effect of COVID-19 on hospital capacity since early in the pandemic, releases data each week on tens of thousands of hospitals nationwide showing how close they are to reaching their limit. The latest data for hospitals in Hennepin County includes how many adult inpatient and ICU beds are occupied by patients confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19.


The new numbers, included below, are current through Thursday, March 4, and represent a rolling seven-day average. Note that the figures for occupied hospital beds sometimes exceed 100 percent; this is because more than one patient sometimes occupies a bed over the course of a week.


Health experts have said that the share of a hospital's total beds devoted to coronavirus cases is key to understanding the strain on its resources. A share greater than 10 percent is said to be a cause of concern. When that share exceeds 20 percent, a hospital is said to be under extreme stress; and as the share approaches 50 percent, the stress is said to be immense.


Also this week, state health officials in Minnesota reported to the federal government that 73 percent of inpatient beds and 72 percent of ICU beds in hospitals across the state were still occupied as of March 6. Around 3 percent of beds statewide were filled by COVID-19 patients, they reported.
 
Someone is finally aggregating the data on the damage from the rona freakout. Let's keep in mind, if we hold the no-comorbidity death rate of 6% of the otherwise heavily manipulated number of covid deaths, 30,000 healthy young people have died from rona.


Here's a summary:

*A million undiagnosed cancers
*400% increase in depression, so 80 million people now?
*300% increase in people seeking help for anxiety
*300% increase in teenagers under care for self harm
*100% increase in people with suicidal thoughts
*890,000 additional people will die in the next 15 years from the brutality of the lockdowns
*Nobody has yet quantified the lifetime earnings, knowledge, and confidence hit the kids are all going to take by missing a year and a half of school.

********************************************************

A recent study confirms that up to 78% of cancers were never detected due to missed screening over three months. If one extrapolates to the entire country, up to a million new cases or more over nine months will have gone undetected. That health disaster adds to missed critical surgeries, chemotherapy, organ transplants, presentations of pediatric illnesses, heart attack and stroke patients too afraid to call emergency services, and others, all well documented.

Beyond hospital care, CDC reported four-fold increases in depression, three-fold increases in anxiety symptoms, and a doubling of suicidal ideation, particularly among young adults – college age – after the first few months of lockdowns, echoing the AMA reports of drug overdoses and suicides. An explosion of insurance claims for these psychological harms in children just verified this, doubling nationally since last year; and in the strictly locked down Northeast, there was a more than 300% increase of teenagers visiting doctors for self-harm.

Domestic abuse and child abuse have been skyrocketing due to the isolation and specifically to the loss of jobs, particularly in the strictest lockdowns. Given that many in-person schools have been closed, hundreds of thousands of abuse cases are never reported, since schools are the number one agency where abuse is noticed. Finally, the unemployment “shock” from lockdowns, according to a recent NBER study, translates into what they called a “staggering” 890,000 additional U.S. deaths over the next 15 years from the lockdowns, disproportionately affecting minorities and women.
 
First, I have been shocked at the enormous power of the government, to unilaterally decree, to simply close businesses and schools by edict, restrict personal movement, mandate behavior, and eliminate our most basic freedoms, without any end and little accountability


Amen, the enormous amount of overreach by our local and federal governments has been astounding. Imho they should all be jailed for treason. All of them.

I've been brushing up on biases and how they influence group thinking. This whole production has been a master class in bias manipulation. The question I've been wondering all along is, "how can the majority of people believe what's going on given how often the truth changes?" A walk through the cognitive biases helps to illustrate what people are going through. The one I'm most baffled by is the vaccine. We've probably reached a tipping point where over half the country will get it and then consensus bias will take over. People who were on the fence will do it because they see everyone else doing it. Even more mystifying is that the vaccine hasn't been proven safe, effective, or even a vaccine by definition. What does that say about those who aren't influenced by consensus bias?

 
So far my company is saying they will not force people to get it. My son graduates college this spring and hopefully he will also dodge the vaccine bullet. The one I worry about is my daughter who will be a Junior in college and will they try to force her to get it? So far the UW system is saying they will not require the vaccine for fall students. But Evers is a crafty SOB and Tommy Thompson loves his role so we will see.

View attachment 33826I’ve avoided posting on this thread but just wanted to point out that I’m in Missouri too - but I live in St. Louis County. It’s also where my business is. Our county Executive has had us locked down with tighter restrictions than almost everywhere in the country. We continue To have a mask mandate as well as capacity restrictions that have really limited and crushed small businesses. We were forced to be closed for three months at the beginning and have been at 25 % capacity until just recently moving to 50%. We are also still under a “safer at home” order. Missouri might be free right now - but St. Louis County is still very severely restricted. So when they say Missouri has no mask mandate it’s not exactly correct because some counties have imposed very strict restrictions.
 
The big river should have made a right and went around St. Louis, politically.
 
So I was at the hospital today with my wife. First thing they did was give us masks to replace our cloth masks. I asked why. Nurse told me I might as well wear a screen door on my face. Actually worse, he said the cloth masks act like a magnet and gather all kinds of bad stuff including covid. How long before fauchi is saying covid is spread by wearing masks. I think most of us suspected this but it was interesting coming from the hospital.

Suspected? Hell I've been saying that for as long as this bs has been going on.
