I've found one good thing to come from all of this. I can now find all my favorite fair food all summer long around here without waiting for the actual fair.
Scott's Roasting and Mr. Stickies FTW!

My wife works at the local hospital and they were just informed that there is now a 14 day quarantine for anyone returning from international travel, as well as travel from about half the US states.
The strategy of the socialists, leftists, liberals:
SHOUT to make the
LIE AS BIG AS POSSIBLE!
Then wisper when the
Truth Becomes Known.
Study finds COVID-19 patients who took hydroxychloroquine were less likely to die.

That site is ridiculous.
NO I do not want to spin a wheel.
NO I do not want to subscribe.
NO I do not want to watch that video.
And I have a popup blocker and an ad blocker running on this browser...can't imagine if I didn't.
If there had been accurate testing at the beginning of this Promoted Panic the results would have
likely shown the same ratios of Positive, Hospitalizations & Deaths as they are now discovering.
However, the media has pushed tha PANIC rather than the TRUTH from the beginning.
If you remove the statistics created by the BAD DECISION to put coronavirus patients in nursing homes, which unnecessarily killed some of the most vulnerable elderly people, you will find the remaining statistics have always been MUCH LESS TO PANIC ABOUT than the media has promoted.
This is just one more example of the DISTORTION of the leftists that make the left-wing media unreliable for finding the TRUTH.
Coronavirus death rate keeps dropping even as alarm grows over summer surge.

The current mandate of mask wearing, with threats of punishment for not acquiescing, is just another expose' of the real goal of domination by authoritarian governmental agencies and governors.
They have no respect for the Individual Freedom guaranteed in the Constitution but rather are full-of-themselves with righteous indignation that others are not obeying their edicts.

Chances of getting COVID-19 are slim, dying from it even slimmer
By Michael McKenna - - Friday, August 21, 2020
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
It is very unlikely that you will die from the coronavirus.
About 175,000 Americans who died in the last six months have had their deaths identified as “related to” the coronavirus. Is that a lot? Well, there are more than 325 million of us, so, even if every death “related to” the virus was actually caused by the virus, that’s about one death per 1,800 people. For purposes of perspective, about 175,000 Americans — in a population of about 200 million — died during the Hong Kong flu epidemic in the late 1960s.
Even among the elderly, about 90% of those who contract the coronavirus survive.
It is also unlikely that you will contract the coronavirus.
About 80 million tests have been conducted in the United States. Less than 10% — about 6 million — have been positive. A positive test does not mean that you will get ill. To date, only about 360,000 people have been hospitalized in the U.S. as a result of the virus.
Unfortunately, more people are going to die from the coronavirus. That said, the chances of you dying from the coronavirus are very remote, especially if you are under the age of 75.
Think about it for a second. If this were really that lethal a disease, the media would not be hounding us relentlessly to take it seriously. No one had to convince anyone in Florence in 1348 that the Black Death was lethal.
Regrettably, if you are waiting for a vaccine, you might be in for a long wait. We have never successfully developed a vaccine for any coronavirus. That uncomfortable fact rarely gets mentioned. Even if we did develop a vaccine, almost half the country has told us in surveys that they would not take it. That roughly tracks with the percentage of folks who do not take the annual flu shot.
With respect to masks, there is quite a bit of biology that suggests that appropriate, consistent mask wearing will reduce the transmission of disease. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much of any statistical evidence that wearing the types of masks we wear in the way and the times that we do achieves much. There is no study or data that I can find that suggests that there is a relationship between those areas with greater degrees of mask wearing and areas that have lower hospitalizations or death rates in the United States.
I do not dispute or contest the idea that masks should help minimize the spread. But in the real world, people are not required to and do not wear masks in ways that provide any material benefit. When was the last time you washed/changed your mask? Tucked it into a purse or pocket? Hung it from a rearview mirror?
Finally, and most importantly, no one is going to blow a whistle and say it’s OK to get back to work or school or whatever. Each and every person is ultimately going to have to make their own decision about what level of risk they are prepared to tolerate and act accordingly. Some of your fellow citizens are very afraid, some are not. Be patient with everyone.
They asked us to flatten the curve. No one said a word about the area under the curve — which describes hospitalizations and deaths — and whether anything we did would ultimately shrink that area. Similarly, talk about winning a war against the invisible enemy and all that is ridiculous.
This virus, like all viruses, is going to work its way through the population until we get a vaccine, it mutates or we get something approximating widespread immunity. In the meantime, the right answer is to improve our therapeutic capabilities and do what we can to reduce the exposure of those most at risk.
It is also essential that our leaders be honest and accurate about the likelihood of contracting it, being hospitalized, and dying from it, as well as what can be done to minimize the chances of those who might face greater risks from contracting it.
The rest is persiflage and propaganda.
This reflects what I said on March 24:

So here's the TRUTH being WHISPERED
after the LIE was LOUDLY BROADCAST...
(while the PANIC IS STILL PROMOTED)

Comorbidities
Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.
ONLY 6% were CORONAVIRUS ONLY!
94% had other potenial killer conditions!
On average, each had 2.6 other potential killer conditions!
That chart shows of all deaths attributed to the Coronavirus (161,392),
... 93,454 (58%) were people of 75yo or more.
... 34,334 (21%) were age 65-74yo
... 20,295 (13%) were age 55-64yo
... 13,309 (8%) were of age 18-55 years old.
So, out of a working age population (18-55yo) of approx 120 MILLION, 13,309 have died (about .01%)
- And 94% of those may have had other killer conditions that were counted as Coronavirus deaths.
This PROMOTED PANIC shutdown the entire economy!
And many areas of the country are still being
held hostage for political goals!
POLITICAL GOALS..
Thats it right there^^^^^
