California Fear mongering before Christmas

I would clarify a few of these. Masks are useless at preventing you from being infected (if they are typical masks) however they are effective at keeping you from accidentally coughing or spitting on a person. It can reduce how big a viral load you could infect someone else with. Distancing is also useless at preventing you from being exposed to the virus, but it can reduce the viral load. It is very likely and there are studies that support this that the viral load will have a big impact on how sick you get. So then distancing could reduce the numbers in the ICU and the morgue.

Says the pre-conceived willfully ignorant.

Oh I don't argue that California doesn't have it's faults, npi. I'm a born and raised Orange County native, and I couldn't wait to move the he(ck) out. The golden state is no longer golden, hasn't been for decades. But when people say it's failed I have to laugh. It's at the forefront of pushing the world's agenda, which is decidedly anti-God. The world is going to reward it by.., well, making it the 5th largest economy. That's why it's succeeding, it ain't because it's being run by geniuses, it's because it's bowing to the god of this world. Now, we may not want to admit that it's succeeding for that reason, but it's a lie and a deception to say it isn't. And if a Christian is buying into lies and deceptions there, where else may they be unwittingly buying into it as well?

HCQ is an oxidizer. Simple viruses do not have a complex system designed to protect against oxidizers. This is why they have no protection against HCQ, doesn't matter what virus it is.

We know that the immune system is the single best defense anyone has. Vitamin D and Zinc will be very helpful because if you are deficient in either of these your immune system is weakened. This is true for Covid19 as much as for any virus.

The viral load is critical. In other words when you are first infected is it with a single virus floating in the air or did someone sneeze into your face hitting you with 2 million virus? It doesn't matter Covid, Flu, or the common cold. This is why outdoor events are not super spreader events and all the super spreader events are traced back to an indoor situation (bar, restaurant, etc). The wind blows the virus away, outdoors you have exponentially more air for the virus to be spread out in, and the virus only lasts for about 15 minutes in the sunshine so it doesn't accumulate. This is true of Covid as well as any other virus.

We also know that when we have a vaccine that is leaky, meaning it doesn't fully protect you from future mutations then we know the vaccine will be most effective if we use it sparingly. If you reserve this for 5% of the population that is most at risk you will not create an environment that favors the mutations. But if you give it to 80% you have created an environment that will favor Delta and Omicron variants.

All of these things were well known prior to this pandemic.

"Wilful ignorance" is NOT one of my strong suits. Find some other accusation, like "Believes in true science over bogus science". BTW I am a microbiologist, so I understand all the shenanigans of the so-called "experts". But could we apply "wilfully blind" to people such as yourself?

Does anyone recall all the Fraudulent Fauci Flip-Flops? Masks today. No masks tomorrow. Oh sorry, masking is pure theater. However, get your masks back on, otherwise how can we control you? "I am Science". And on and on. Then Rochelle Walensky imitated Fauci with all her foolish flip-flops until everyone got the message -- politics trumps science in order to maintain tyranny.

Wow, I'm impressed, here I thought you were all shots from the hip lol. No, I'm with you on 90% of this.

Simple viruses yes. But if this is a lab rat gone rogue, who knows what other functions they gained it with? They're certainly not going to tell us that. That's why I hold a question mark here, until we know 100% it didn't come from Wuhan, we can't count anything out.

And outdoors, yes there would be less transmission but in a densely packed crowd there's still an exposure. I figure if I'm close enough to smell them, I'm close enough to be exposed. And expose.

Vaxes, you're right there. A non-lethal dosage just makes bugs stronger. We had a chance to present a lethal dose, but that was at the very start... and now we don't have that ability any more. I won't get a booster without getting an antibody count first. That's how my wife's Dr is handling it, since she had covid last November she's been testing antibody levels and so far they're staying high. (As opposed to all those who preach natural immunity but never bother to see if they actually have it.) So no vax needed for her. Seems the smartest way to go to me.

My friend, anyone who truly believes the Jan 6 traitors were just pranksters has not just drunk the coolaid, they've bathed in, mainlined and transfused it. Makes you completely unreliable as a source of information on anything. How about we do the mutual ignore thing, then we won't have to waste time considering each other's insanity?

Multiple Airline CEOs Come Out Against Biden's Mask Mandates, Point Out Major Gap in Leftist Logic

I think a reasonable compromise is to put the mask over your mouth while not putting it over your nose so you can breathe easily if you are not worried.

I believe there were at most 1,000 people guilty of a crime even if more than 500 were guilty of no more than trespassing. However, I also believe there were 500,000 people at that rally which means that 99.8% of the people there were not guilty of any crime and only 0.1% were guilty of anything more than trespassing.

That said 80 people have been arrested and to my mind they haven't even arrested the worst ones like these guys who work for the FBI and were inciting the protestors to enter the capital. The other ones that were the worst of the worst were scaling the walls and breaking the glass at the capital at the same time that Trump was speaking over at the Whitehouse. I want those guys arrested, they obviously did not come to listen to Trump but just to riot. To put that in perspective, 99.98% of the people who were at the rally were not arrested and have not been charged with a crime.

Still a crime was committed, they should have their day in court, but they should also be treated humanely in jail and they aren't being, they should be given an opportunity to meet with counsel and for the majority of them get out on bail and prepare for their trial from home. The contrast with the Antifa and BLM riots is stark. Government buildings were burned down, stores were looted, people were killed and yet we were told that they were "mostly peaceful" yet when you run the numbers you learn there were over 500 of these riots that were not peaceful in less than a year. The amount of damage done was much greater than what was done at the capital and the violence was much greater.

It is that stark contrast that has people alarmed.

If he could have afforded to, my older brother would have been there climbing the walls. I have to wonder how many more there are like him around this country.

And yes cops that were complicit should be held accountable. But really, you're not going to get that kind of fairness from the left or the right. I've stopped expecting it.

I can't join in on the "if this bad is really bad, then that bad is good" bandwagon either. Yes many of the BLM/antifa protests were criminal. That doesn't make the Jan 6 rioters/qanon any better. We HAVE to stop supporting the lesser evil just because we hate the greater evil "that much".

I was there at the rally but not at the capital. I had gotten up at 5 and had been standing in the cold for 8 hours so I wanted to go back to my hotel and lie down. My plan was to return at night for a candlelight vigil thinking they would be spending the whole night in deliberations. When I got up to my room the city erupted in police sirens and my phone was ringing off the hook and I had no idea what all the fuss was about.

God warned us, repeatedly, where the world would be at the end.

1. The world would wholesale turn away from God - and we see that happening on the left.

2. False prophets would arise to deceive the elect and turn them away from His truth as well.

I don't suppose there's any way I could convince you that no. 2 is being accomplished by the right, can I?

My advice would be, if you feel you need to attend a political rally, you should go to church instead.

I have no issue with seeing false prophets on the right. Anyone who thinks our salvation is coming through politics is clearly deceived.

In my opinion this is a multi front war, the Stop the Steal rally represented the "Samson' wing. Not all that clear on the ways of God but will still bring down the temple of Baal.

Why do children of God continue to live in such a sinful place?
