    So treat it like the cold/flu?


    This line of thinking a month ago would have been considered a conspiracy theory.

    The NBA adopted the rule so they won't have to shut down the league and lose money.

    The CDC changed their recommendations because businesses all over were running out of employees. Flights were being cancelled all over.

    Its based in $$$, not science. I mean, why would you actually SHORTEN the quarantine period when more people are getting sick and remain possibly infectious and things are surging?

    I’m going to go out on a limb and guess Road Ratt isn’t a producer for the Stephen Colbert show.

    Is interesting, my wife and I spent 4 days in Vegas last week. I saw more people without masks in three grocery stores in Redmond last weekend then the 4 days we were in Vegas total. Deschutes county is leading the state in positive test right now, coincidence?

    To make a fair comparison, you would need to go to every county in Oregon, go into grocery stores there and note the mask usage to arrive at this anecdotal conclusion.

    If you are referring to the title of the video. That is how it appears on YouTube. Both of which are topics of the show that I posted. Watching the short clip may have cleared up your confusion, all by itself.

    Bingo...my doc said the same thing, the only numbers that we should focus on are hospitalizations and deaths.

    • The case rate (per 100,000 population over 7 days) must be below 50 for two full weeks. A rating above 100 cases per 100,000 individuals or higher is considered “high” transmission risk, while 50-99.99 per 100,000 is considered “substantial” by the CDC. The county must reach “moderate” for two full weeks.


    Test positivity in Clark County is at 17.7%, up from 14.1% the previous day. The current case rate for Clark County is “high” at 743.3, according to the Southern Nevada Health District.

    Dr. Fauci already admitted that it was to help businesses and to help people from to much isolation.

    The usefulness of the case count is that it is a leading indicator for hospitalizations, which are a leading indicator for deaths.
    That's the reason why we have case counts for covid but not for the common cold.

    You go to war with the population you have, not the population you might want or wish to have at a later time.

    How do we win the war when 50% of our population is, how can I phrase this gently, about as sharp as a fucking brick?

    OK. Good to know. I'll just get more firearms and more devices to increase my access to social media. And some camo, I've always wanted camo.

    GOP-linked tech company founder ousted for anti-Semitic claims that COVID vaccine is part of 'sadistic drive to euthanize the American people' by Jews
    • A Utah tech entrepreneur and onetime prominent figure in state Republican politics, David Bateman, resigned from the board of the company he founded
    • He sent an email screed outlining an anti-Semitic vaccination conspiracy theory
    • The email sent at 4:59am was sent to a group including some of Utah's leading tech CEOs, investors and other public figures including governor, Spencer Cox
    • It called upon them to 'stop the vaccination drive' blaming Jewish people for 'a sadistic effort underway to euthanize the American people'
    • The Entrata board of directors asked Bateman to step down and he agreed
    'I write this email knowing that many of you will think I'm crazy after reading it,' Bateman wrote in the first sentence of the email.

    'I believe there is a sadistic effort underway to euthanize the American people. It's obvious now. It's undeniable, yet no one is doing anything. Everyone is discounting their own judgment, and dismissing their intuition,' Bateman continued.

    He went on to claim 'for 300 years the Jews have been trying to infiltrate the Catholic Church and place a Jew covertly at the top,' stating that the effort had succeeded with Pope Francis.

    He stated that that Covid and the vaccines designed to protect people would actually destroy people's immune systems.

    'I believe the pandemic and systemic extermination of billions of people will lead to an effort to consolidate all the countries in the world under a single flag with totalitarian rule,' Bateman wrote.

    'I know, it sounds bonkers. No one is reporting on it, but the Hasidic Jews in the US instituted a law for their people that they are not to be vaccinated for any reason,' he wrote in the email. 'I pray that I'm wrong on this. Utah has got to stop the vaccination drive. Warn your employees. Warn your friends. Prepare. Stay safe.'

    Update: It's no longer the Jews doing this. A local Utah news station texted him and this is his reply.
