The pushback against any of this has been pretty minimal, both here and globally. I'd say it's been a massive success for the Globalist's actually.

If Bill Gates gets his way we will all be microchip’d with our vaccine shot. The explanation will be the return of those freedoms you mentioned above.

I wonder if they will reveal upfront the vaccine contains a microchip. or surprise us after the fact.

The number of cases increase because the testing is available everywhere, the question is how many of those new cases required hospitalization? That matriculates, determines social policy. In my limited view, that answer is one of the three rings a party must own to win this election.

Anecdotal, something to chew on RE increased testing vs. increased positivity.
1. Elon Musk reporting 4 tests; 2 pos, 2 neg. Same time, same nurse, same type test.
2. A good & trusted friend reports 3 people who signed up in their county to get tested. Apparently, lunch hour/had to get back, for whatever reason, they left and DID NOT get tested. All 3 later got notified that they tested positive.
Who the hell's running the testing in these labs? Dominion software?

Masks now will be required indoors, even at home and even when social distance is maintained, as long as people outside one’s household are present, and outdoors when 6 feet of distance can’t be maintained, according to Levine and a Department of Health news release.

This will be enforced how???

Did ya’ll hear that in the coming future you may be required to get a COVID test at the point of entry to fly on a commercial airline?
Who’s going to administer that? TSA, the airline or some third party for hire before you can pass through the screening checkpoint?

You can bet it will be the best of the minimum wage workforce administering those most excellent tests.

Per my daughters, proof of neg COVID tests were required to fly between SEA-NYC per airline.

Well, I was waiting to hear when China’s bioweapon would strike a member of my family. Last week, it did. Provided he survives till then, my dad will be 92 on Thanksgiving. He’s been deteriorating badly over the past several years with dementia and Alzheimer’s along with years of chassis damage and other health issues. It got so bad that he finally had to be admitted into a care facility back home in Ohio. He has gotten to the point that he didn’t even know who my mom was during her last visit before the place got locked down due to someone else testing positive a couple weeks prior. And even then, that was through a glass partition with my dad on the inside of the facility and mom sitting outside.
He’s another old paratrooper. He made the rank of Major and served with 187th, the 82nd, 2nd SFG(A) and, I believe, 11th SFG(A).
Mom called today to inform me that the facility called to say dad was having difficulty breathing and his oxygen was down around 64%, so they have him on O2 and steroids. He’s comfortable but his O2 level is still in the low 80’s.
It would seem that his ETS is nigh. Mom has stated that aside from his remaining brother, who is the only remaining family member from that generation and also not doing well, she has known dad longer than anyone else alive. For that reason, she will push to be with him when he passes.
Mom will be 90 the day after Thanksgiving and has her own health issues so I’m pretty sure she doesn’t give two flying fucks about risks. She was also an Army nurse and made the rank of 1st LT. They met at Ft. Benning and were stationed in Japan during the Korean War. The two of them cranked out an entire ODA of healthy kids who are all still living. I’m the 11th. I’m pretty sure she wants to make sure they get credited for completing their tour together. May God save whoever tries to deny her this request.

There is no cry emoji on this board but if there were that’s how I feel right now. God bless your mom and Godspeed to your father. Take care Brother knowing that we are thinking of you through this process.
