“There’s too much information out there!”, and most of it is bullshit.

To a hammer, everything is a nail.
To an epidemiologist everything is a plague.
Happy Easter, everyone.

Funny.
Happy Easter good souls.
My comment is that the pro epidemiologists (hey I spelled it right first time!) aren’t doing much better. Some of them are so full of it, they have become armchair bureaucrats themselves. God help us.

This is so true. None of those people in NY City are dead, right?

Anon, I guess you’re trying to exaggerate to illustrate a point.
What is bothersome is the extremes of the models and the decisions taken. The politicking (like the
Drudge headline now about “Fauci Unloads,” which is complete bullshit it didn’t happen. He was pressed in CNN on a hypothetical and he carefully answered it without any recrimination of Trump. FFS the point could’ve been to say if we’d closed to China let’s say before the outbreak what would’ve happened? Media and political operators are running crazy now, and we are all on edge because we can’t get the news.
On point: the models are poor, and I note the key one supposedly came out of the UW, which is a freakhole of the first order. The actual numbers are lower by a longways than the models used; I would like to see a side by side vis the common flu last year at the same time. It may seriously be close.
Further, if you go into the hospital with a gunshot sucking chest wound, and a dry cough, it is entered as a Coronavirus death. Bill Gates wants to mark you like the Beast would, and subtly drops how this is a great time to cull the surplus masses of the world. Filthy people! I once had his life in my hands, BTW. Regrets…
OK, I exaggerate, too. NYC looks bad, and I am not denying the pandemic is a thing. I am just looking in detail as best I can at the responses. Some of the government stuff looks Machiavellian. Make that Draconian. I like the stories of how libs are buying guns in huge numbers, and are finding out the laws their politicians have made to restrict their access to their 2A rights are onerous. Dumshitz.
I am staying in. My guns are all loaded and not locked up (I deny what I just wrote it is of course against the law.ahem) figuratively speaking. No one comes to my door. My freezer is full of venison, and in a couple of days it is legal to harvest a couple of turkeys.
Doctors have a God Complex. Gubmint leaders think they are immune from constitutional restrictions. News media are lying sacxofsh!t. Liberals are retarded in the Nth degree.
Sadly there are 2 types of people; that guy and all of the other folks in the world that are like that guy, excepting me, and maybe you. &, of course, I’m not so sure about you. 😉

Casey, I saw evidence of Bill Gates’ desire to take steps to reduce world populations and I thought, yeah, just like Ghost advised…be on the lookout for the turds who stand to make money off of human peril because they’ll float to the top. He was dead right.
Gates has money and presumably a lot of power but he is essentially a cowardly fk without the balls to walk up to anything greater than a 10 year old child and present his desires for human population control. At least not while the kids’s protector is standing around to use his head for a mop and his butt for a broom. Gates wouldn’t last 5 seconds with some of the chaps I know and his odds might only be slightly greater from a 70 year old arthritic, like me.
He’s not one shit different from every other oligarchical illuminati minded maggot and if American’s ever wake the fuck up and realize what is going on, the bombing of Dresden will look like puppy poop compared to what enraged American men will do to these guys.

Casey sed: “…in a couple of days it is legal to harvest a couple of turkeys.”
============
As if. LOL
I’m pretty certain you’ll use turkeys as you see fit, regardless of tyrants, just like any sane person would. Saw a few turkeys out back a few days ago. I won’t hurt them. As long as buy-able grub is available.
Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
