    California is persecuting the church and the church is letting them do it.

    I'm in Canada....my small town (pop ~12,000) has an Anglican Church (like Episcopalian sp?), Roman Catholic, United Church of Canada, Christian Reformed (my home church), Pentecostal and JW......I don't know what the JW's are doing, but all the rest are worshipping on-line, although the...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    I was against mandatory masking for this very reason, but it became mandatory in my area starting on Monday....in spite of the fact that my region has zero active identified cases. Up until yesterday masking was voluntary, and my own best guess is that no more than 25% chose to wear them in...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    I haven't seen any research showing that with each infection that there is organ damage....the only things I've seen is the complications in the minority of people for whom Covid is either serious or deadly, not on the asymptomatic or even those with only mild symptoms. I do agree there is...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    This is the most perplexing aspect of this virus, especially for those who believe decisions on things like public policy need to be based on evidence. Your quoted article says this: "Some people suffering with severe cases of COVID-19 are showing signs of kidney damage, even those who had...

    Not an autopsy obviosuly, but tissue sampling can be done on people who are alive.....maybe it's already been done and didn't show anything.

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    The problem here is that you're comparing the results of people who caught Covid and got so sick they died, and thinking that someone who doesn't get sick is having the same type of viral activity....attacking organs and tissue. I have yet to see a study on any healthy person who got Covid...

    Use of masks during COVID-19 not always the answer, says epidemiologist

    I've heard the term myself, as well as "superiority of the mask".....in my area there are exceptions for people with conditions like COPD, asthma....basically any condition that makes breathing through a mask dificult, as well as those with mental conditions where wearing a a mask can cause...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    The fortunate thing is that most people don't need to recover, because the symptoms are either incredibly mild, or completely non-existant. Tennis play Noval Djokovic (sp?) tested positive, and 10 days later tested negative....and never got sick, that's the case for perhaps 80% of all cases as...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    I can't read that article without subscribing, but I have seen reports on the small minority of people for whom Covid is serious and potentially deadly, how it attacks all manner of organs and tissue. Thankfully this is only a very small mintority of cases. In Canada 82% of deaths have been...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    I don't think most people are saying that SARS-Cov-2 is a hoax, anymore than the seasonal flu or other pathogens are a hoax.....influenza is real and can claim over 600K lives worldwide some years, and we could absolutely could have been bringing in Pandemic lockdown measures in an effort to...

    I've been seeing the situation in Texas, Florida and Arizona....I hope things get better for you all soon, I don't want you to have the disasters that occured in places like New Jersey (I used to live there) and NY.....thankfully you have a long way to go for things to be that bad. and...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    Here are some thoughts I have from the perspective of a person living in Canada about 100 miles east of this nation's largest city Toronto (it's basically our version of NYC if you will, though obviously not nearly as big, population ~3 million with 5+ million living in the greater metro area)...

    Use of masks during COVID-19 not always the answer, says epidemiologist

    Required in my part of Ontario Canada starting Monday at noon.....my county has 0 identified cases currently, and only 21 since the pandemic started...all resolved with 0 deaths. I use the word "identified" cases because I think it's still in our area circurlating....its just that it hasn't...

    Use of masks during COVID-19 not always the answer, says epidemiologist

    I'm not wearing a mask, it hasn't been required in my area and frankly I don't think it's warranted at this time based on everything we know. I was shopping at my local grocery store and the lady in front of me pulled her's down to check the expiry date on a loaf of bread....touching the...

    Use of masks during COVID-19 not always the answer, says epidemiologist

    Here are the guidelines for properly wearing, handling and washing cloth masks....it's complicated, but then doing things properly and safely is seldom easy. I see so many people stuffing cloth masks in and out of pockets...ugh. Thinking that SARS-Cov-2 is so dangerous and easily transmissible...

    Use of masks during COVID-19 not always the answer, says epidemiologist

    I'm all for protecting others, but not if it means subjecting myself to the risk of a respitory infection because some cheap piece of cloth is contaminated with bacteria....a lof of bacteria is drug resistant now and an infection could be worse than covid for some. Canada is only just...

    Use of masks during COVID-19 not always the answer, says epidemiologist

    I feel like I've totally overdosed on everything about masks of late, and I've done a fair bit of reading on the subject. Here' the link to the article cited in the subject line: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nb-wearing-masks-1.5560578 One of the most distressing things about...

    AOC SABATOGES TRUMP RALLY

    I'm not a fan of DT by any means, but to my way of thinking this kind of gamesmenship will simply embolden his supporters.

    Necessary?

    When government says restaraunts can't open, that hair salons must close, that dog groomers and estheticians are required to shut down....If it wasn't government forcing businesses to close and put people out of work why did a barber in Michigan have to go to court to re-open his shop?
