of course kc is growing weary of coronavirus. Everyone is. And all of us hope the numbers stay low so we can start dropping the restrictions. The people who don't want America to emerge from coronavirus have other motives that need to examined.
ReplyDeleteDo people play politics with the virus?
DeleteOf course, people play politics with everything. But that doesn't mean you can ignore health advice just because you don't agree with somebody's voting record or where they stand on a particular issue. Politicizing the pandemic just makes it harder to control.
The reopen is even worse for the economy than the shut down with all of the restrictions.
DeleteSad.
Tests should be easily and conveniently available, not just in limited windows.
ReplyDeleteThat would help the community fight against the disease.
^^^^ +100
DeleteAbsolutely correct!
It's interesting to hear the various talking radio heads turn their opinions to "open up" when they almost all bought in 100% when the hype train was going full steam. There was one single, DILLIGAF stand out, calling the BS for what it is from the very start: Limbaugh. He's been excoriated throughout the media, left, nevertrumper right, jealous competitors, yet he was right and is continually being proven so as this farce is exposed.
ReplyDeleteDr Limbaugh and Dr Hannity,keep drinking that Kool aid from those 2 fools
DeleteTwo non college educated millionaires that thumb their nose at the establishment. Makes lefties nuts doesn't it?
DeleteJoCo's response has been disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThey have lots of people being paid quite a bit and, yet, very poor results in fighting COVID.
The people who don't want America to emerge from coronavirus have other motives that need to examined.
ReplyDeleteRight like Biden and the Democrats for example.
So, according to the Boy Blunder’s superhero sidekick, Rex Archer, the purpose of wearing a mask is virtue signaling. It is an outward sign of what a terrific person you are on the inside. Thanks, Doc. We get it now.
ReplyDeleteSo 1,000 cases with a 99.98 survivial rate.... Panic and hysteria has run its course.
ReplyDeleteBiden needs to be out to pasture.
ReplyDeleteAnd, we need to fight fire with fire: Trump is an entertainer and we need the equivalent.
Oprah, Michelle, Elton, Bruce, Buffett, Matt, somebody famous and level-headed and not old and corrupt. Not an expert in legislation is OK, just a good person.
We have over 1000 RECORDED CASES FOR THREE MONTHS, where are the recovered numbers at?
ReplyDeleteCan the boy blunder (I like that name!) and Rex “Adam schiff of kc” archer please tell us the truth for once?
I’m betting we only have about 300 currently active cases at the most and ten in all the hospitals in the city.

ReplyDeleteQ: How did Dr. Archer contract a severe case on sudden-onset scoliosis?
A: He lost his backbone when repeatedly stooping to the lowest level of political pandering!!!
"A new tradition is forming. Wear a mask when in public to show respect for our fallen residents." - Rex Archer, MD, MPH
Recall that Dr. Archer appeared in public during March/April/May without a facemask, just like Mayor Quagmire. Don't be fooled by the fools.
1022 raises a good question: How many coronas are in hospitals in Kansas City right now?
ReplyDeletemasks save lives--or could save lives if people wore them.
ReplyDeleteHospitals are empty and going broke. There is no overwhelming sickness on a wide scale. Nurses and doctors are being laid off, because there is nothing for them to do.
ReplyDeleteLeave it at half mast in honor of us taxpayers.
ReplyDeletePiss on Adolph Archer and his fake statistics.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to hook up with baby-killing Granny in Kansas.
Watching those two fuck ought to stir your imagination.

The Health Officials sure did a number on the AMERICAN ECONOMY. I THEY ARE NOT telling the Whole story. Yes the virus is not good for people with a compromised immune system. But six feet away is a false sense of security .IT can be spread from 20 feet away the virus stays in the air for 20 minutes. We have been exposed to many a virus over the years we have attended many meetings,concerts dances .And this is the same as most viruses. But the media has over blown this YOU have the same chances of getting T.B.A and over the decades they did not quarantine the Americans .
ReplyDeleteP.S.YOU are much more likely to catch something in a super center. You would be surprised. Turn all the lights out and go through with a ultraviolet light. That is how much of the virus was spread and nursing homes. No the Lake of the Ozarks.
ReplyDeleteThe cdc put out a report and some liberal news reporting claims that since dimwit run cities 7.4% down to a 4.1% is far better than republican run cities who at their peak had a 2.0% down to 1.7%. Because the dimwit run cities had a higher percentage of a drop in cases this moron thinks they are doing a better job......
ReplyDeleteAt what point does this despicable dimwit realize that both dimwit figures are still three times higher than republican cities???
ReplyDeleteYES Kansas City is losing MOMENTUM in coronavirus fight. What do ya say to that Rexy?
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
ReplyDeleteAHH, AHH, don't post links, they scare me. what does it mean the percentage of expected deaths FROM ALL CAUSES as of today is 99%. you mean even with the millions of covid deaths that our total death rate is less than expected based on previous years averages? nooo, nooo, the media tells me this is a terrible, evil, republican disease that kills everyone it sees, we have to continue to shut down., its so terrible, I'm so scared. you aholes that go about your days without masks showing subservience to the progressive masters should be locked up in prison. ahhh ahh, its all so terrible.
oh, and you're all CHUDS though they won't tell me what that means. I'm just supposed to type it everywhere I spew my idiot mouth diarrhea
ReplyDeleteI put a sign up on my street; it says "Fuck Off" !

If we would have worn masks for six weeks when in close proximity, had the 6-foot rule and cleaned a lot of surfaces, I don't think we would have needed to close anything. Everyone going to Target, Walmart and the liquor store shows that people close together aren't making this virus explode across America. It seems like about a 70-30 split on mask wearers vs. non-mask wearers in these places at most. The mask stops the spit coming out when you talk, so it is perhaps the most important when someone is carrying the virus. The lockdown was overkill. Fauci is showing his stupidity by flip-flopping on masks, as vividly shown in three of his interviews. The lockdown has gone on too long.
