This whole sniffles thing is insanely stupid and only driven to such heights of hysteria by the media and idiots on bookface, twatter, instagarbage etc. The CDC can't get it's story straight, they keep revising what data they use and manipulating them to fit whatever story they want to tell that day.

If you have an immune system you'll be fine, go live your life. The strong will survive, let the weak fall by the wayside, even if that means I did from it. It's a risk I'm willing to take to live life again.

Oh, my Sister sent this as a text last night, last few weeks, I think I’ve talked to people who were going to call him after I got off the phone with them

Nice Mopars BJoe. I don’t run front plates on any of my cars either I do keep them under passenger seat also. No problems from the law thus far.

Thanks, We now have a '20 Grand Caravan SE Plus as part of the "family" now too, Dad replaced his rust bucket '06 Town and Country with it a couple weeks back. No power doors or hatch, but it has the same running gear as my 200, just has to drag another 1000lbs down the streets


With the number of times my Sister was pulled over in her plain, silver Charger SE 3.5l (even with a front plate!), I'm not sure why her Challenger gets left alone?! Unless she's cleaned it out now that she carries her baby in the car when her Husbands Mazda 3 sedan is not available, he had kept her front plate in the trunk, just in case.

Des Plaines is probably the only place they look for the front plate. Every 6 months they have random stops, and the vehicles they pull off to the side for "safety" checks, are ones without a front tag.

The simple and dangerous fact here is the CDC does not know what the story should be, and they are dealing with someone they are very uncertain about. What we are really suffering from here is too much information flow, whenever their computer spits out new numbers, or someone farts out new guidelines, or someone comes up with a possible new symptom, they immediately send it out to the twitterverse. This makes everyone panic, makes everyone start stuffing mothballs into their face masks because someone tweeted out that as a cure, and the misinformation continuous. They need to slow down the information, let their computers run a few thousand runs of their data, wait until they have solid information before "informing" the public.

If you have absolutely no responsibility for the welfare of your countrymen, and stick together, you could end up with a society in turmoil. Worst case.
If our democratic countries don't *really* pull themselves together and maintain a strong state/government, strong workers' rights etc, we'll be working as slaves for Amazon and China within a few generations, all of us.

No, I don't think the point of a country has anything to do with socialism. Remember when people came to this country to better THEMSELVES rather than ask the government (AKA other citizens) for money? Yeah let's get back to that place!

We're not going to be slaves. That's just useless fodder that adds nothing to this conversation IMO.

Something to think about lol
I never even thought of it. Do we have a stay at home order in PA? If so, I'm not even sure I was aware. I've pretty much been following a voluntary stay at home order. I've left the house to get takeout food and on the weekend to ride my motorcycle. There are tons of motorcycles out and about and I didn't see any cops hassling them in regards to the stay at home order.


The whole COVID-19 thing has been a disaster and you can thank the media for that. On one news story you'll hear that it's not as bad as thought. Then on the next day, often from the same freaking media outlet, you'll hear conflicting information that the second wave is coming and it's going to be deadlier. How the **** can we keep track if we're fed bullshit and conflicting information?

Then you have loudmouth know nothings like Bill Gates spreading false information. He's rich, but he's not a doctor and he knows nothing. Bill is also claiming he could have a vaccine in as little as 9 months. I'm all for free speech, but at what point do you stop and subject a person to consequences for straight up lying and spreading dangerous information? This goes out to the the rich know nothings like Billy and also the media. The media needs to be held to some standard and punished for spreading lies and inciting panic and that needs to happen soon IMO.

Then there's the fact, brought up to me by OSRC, that criminals are being let out of jail early to avoid the spread of COVID-19 in prison facilities (who really gives a shit about criminals getting a virus?!?!) yet they are arresting law abiding citizens for exercising in a park?! Insanity.

Misinformation and panic helps drive the narrative. This has all been a big hoax from the start. Yes it's a real virus but the dangers of it are highly over rated. Very few relatively healthy people have had more than a cough and have recovered completely in a week or so as their immune system did its job. Now we have a whole pile of idiots bathing in hand sanitizer afraid to interact closely with fellow humans who unwittingly have weakened their immune system so the next big scary virus coming through will get more of them.

Bring it on, if my immune system can't kick the sniffles then I'll die but I have a feeling I'll be fine while all the karens across the country and their offspring will be sicker than ever.

Thank you for leading into my incoming rant. Everyone is losing their minds(somewhat rightfully so)over deaths, but completely ignoring the recovery number. Why? We’ve had 262,992 worldwide deaths....but we’ve had 1,283,477 recoveries. Doesn’t seem so tragic with that number, now does it?

My esteemed numbnuts of a a governor, Newsom, has now made 10 separate posts since April 20th stating cases, breaking down the numbers. Not once has he mentioned the recovery rate for Cali. I also found an article of the Bay Area. It listed cases & deaths only. It’s like the media is social distancing from talking about the recovery rate. It is much easier to control a populace using fear...so it does make sense. All these idiots driving in their car by themselves with their masks on. Or walking down the sidewalk by themselves...

In the U.S. we’ve had 72,462 deaths with 201,859 recoveries. Doesn’t sound quite as bleak as our lovely government is making it out to be. I know it won’t happen, but the whole truth would be great. This panic is ridiculous.

It's all about power and control. Fear makes it easier to take control of people. That's all this is, and who comes to save you? Big brother, big government, centralized control and planning.

I don't want anyone's flavor of big government and centralized control, PERIOD!

So maybe mr mountain should get his own head out of his own ass first!

I am in nys so really my opinion is the only one that matters( I’m kidding .... kind of ?!?) ..

I own a business that could stay open cause everything in life has fine print .. I did and lost real money when a few people cancelled contracts or suspended them until they could wrap there heads around a new world..By real I mean profit after everything needs to be paid is paid .. that hurt . It would hurt more if I told you what those numbers were .

I was going to keep going business as usual cause I’m healthier then everyone else (I’m kidding .. kinda ?!?)

But then people caught covid. Out of the two dozen I know that got it 5 or so really got it .. they all recovered but it was brutal to listen to them. Especially the ones that were mild . Some even a month later are still winded when talking . The ones that really got it are all certain there hearts are not the same . Seems from my limited Exp if your heart was faulty you really got sick . Sad tho was a friend who gave it to his dad and his dad didn’t do well . The actuarial acct would say great numbers but the psychologist would say the damage goes beyond the number . It’s one thing to have self destructive behavior it’s another thing to know your behavior is destructive to another . He didn’t pull a trigger or blow second hand smoke he just lived with the guy.

So I took some time off.. mostly because I’m financially smarter then most ( I’m kidding..kinda ?!?) . Not because of fear of a virus or media brainwashing but because I thought I was gonna get an Scx10iii kit ..

Time will tell a lot of things . Julian assange would help speed that up but I think fauci or Birx got to him..(I’m seriously kidding with that one it was Jason Bourne )Maybe I will regret taking time off but it felt right.

While everyone argues about the narrative .. the media .. the severity of a virus .. I hope to see what can become of the world after . Will people stop arguing to be right and argue to be happy? Will politics change ? People change ? Humanity change ? Medicine.. or will the donkeys keep chasing carrots .

Seriously tho covid is now the no no place of verbal contact . It’s gonna test people’s tolerance , empathy, and sympathy. And that’s what’s scarier then the virus itself .

Pretty sure it's a stay at home order, there was a local couple here that got arrested for being out, now they were being A-holes but that was one of their charges, violating stay at home order, I don't think they're hassling people about it unless they're being blatant about it, there's ton's of bikes out here in SW Pa also on the nice days, I've had the T/A and the Vette out several times and haven't been hassled. I didn't go anywhere but a big circle and back home lol, I work 1.5 miles from home and I'm on my 8th week for a tank of gas in my truck, still have a 1/4 tank, so that tells you I haven't been running much lol.

Not at all. The hoax is that this is some global pandemic that will certainly kill us all if we don't wear a mask and stay 6' away from each other.

80k died just in the US a few years ago of the flu. Not some big bad boogie man kung-flu driven by the media.
