Re: The Climate Change Lockdowns of 20xx
Well smog cleared from the skies of major cities like never before during the peak of the lock downs, fwiw... that's not an opinion, it's a fact.
Nevertheless, I don't know to what extent humans contribute to the climate change we are currently experiencing, but the reality is, even the people who preach about changing our behaviors don't really change their behaviors to make a true difference.
I mean we'd all have to basically ditch our cars, stop using air conditioners, stop using electricity, and perhaps most importantly... stop consuming unnecessary stuff... which is everything except food, medicine and clothing. Which even the most ardent supporters of "preventing" climate change through our actions do not do themselves.
Climate change preachers are probably the most unintentionally hypocritical people on the face of the planet. But by all means, run down to your local Starbucks while talking on your iPhone and then go around to the rest of us preaching about climate change, lol.

I'm personally doing very well - but not here to talk about my personal life.
California is still in a stay-at-home order, gyms are still closed, reopening plan from Gavin Newsom makes it impossible to ever reopen.

"....up to 90% of people testing positive carried barely any virus."
The CDC noted earlier that symptomatic cases are infectious for only a few days, but PCR tests can detect inactive RNA for up to 12 WEEKS.
NYT is starting to catch up to what the "science deniers" have been saying for months
Unfortunately, in California we've abandoned tracking -the tiny number of- hospitalizations w/ COVID. Here are the two new criteria for reopening:
1.
That's right. A tiny number of "CASES" = business restrictions
Knowing false positives are ~2.3% of tests, and 90% of tests are people barely carrying any virus, WE WILL NEVER REOPEN
2.
Each county will have an "equity benchmark" to hit. We now need policies that ensure COVID-19 infects Blacks and Latinos at equal rates.

Re: The Climate Change Lockdowns of 20xx
Problem gets compounded when you have a nation of average, generic, gullible minds who are not only easily fooled and cowed, but then too embarrassed to admit it once the facts come to light. Most people have a VERY tenuous self confidence, which makes it far more difficult to publicly admit mistakes.
The Covid charade was an obviously ginned up, election year exercise in public hysteria. But it also served essentially as a national IQ test. And a huge portion of the country failed.
Nothin we can do at this point. I suggest smart people out there simply learn what you can from this ordeal and remember how simple most of your neighbors are. Use that knowledge going forward to at least make sure you take care of yourself. Because theres no saving every pleb from their own foolish credulity. If you were smart enough to see through this sham, youve at least got a (third) leg up over most of the rubes out there.

The ****ing lockdown here is so goddamn retarded. Like you said damn near impossible to re open gyms and I read that cali is expected to jump to 89% hospitalizations next month because of labor day so if its true I wouldnt doubt Newsom will make a even stricter lockdown rule.
People can go to a museum but cant go to a gym so stupid.

Hospitalizations going up 89%? Sounds a lot similar to this prediction. Let's take a look at the data:
1.) Nationwide, COVID-19 accounts for 1.8% of ED visits. (source)
2.) Cumulatively, ~550,000 have been hospitalized WITH COVID-19. (source)
However, we know this number is inflated. (sources here)
3.) For comparison, 800,000 were hospitalized for the 2018 flu season (when nobody gave a shit). (source)
4.) But what about LA County, perhaps the "hardest hit in CA" by COVID?
LA County has yet to hit baseline 2019 hospital census since the hospitals were forced to be kept at record lows in March. (source)
5.) So no, there will be no "jump to 89% COVID hospitalizations" or whatever bullshit they're feeding the sheep. bladefd, TheMan, falc9, n00bie, ~primetime~, Rooster, rufuspaul, ItsMillerTime, etc can keep eating it, but I refuse.
We have to follow science and data... not corporate propaganda, Gavin Newsom, Fauci's pseudoscience, and CCP's lockdowns.
