What are everybodys thoughts on Laredo, TX making the wearing of a mask when outdoors mandatory and enforced by fine or even arrest? I don't like it. I don't like any of this really.

Right now the things they're putting in place like that are absurd, but nothing more than annoying or tedious. When they start setting up checkpoints to force people to take mandatory vaccines, we'll know the apocalypse has arrived.

Everyone keeps saying this virus will peak in 2 to 3 weeks. I sure hope so, atleast we will see if this virus lives up to hype. CBS national news just said the total positive cases topped 1 million people. World population is roughly 7.58 BILLION. That means that only .013% of people have tested positive and yet nearly every countries economy has gone to crap. IT ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO 1/10 of 1%.

The numbers all along have told a completely different story than what the media and politicians have told us. The question is why? I have more research to do, but I have a strong theory on what's behind this and it's fascinating. Stay tuned. I'll talk more about it this weekend.

Supermarket chain Hyvee now has a commercial essentially calling their employees HEROES. It shows first responders, nurses and doctors all helping people then it switches over to Hyvee warehouse employees, drivers and store personnel doing their job. I'm not one to look down on somebody for having a certain job but to call somebody stocking shelves a hero comes across as disrespectful to those who are actually risking their life everyday in my opinion. Doing your job while risking catching a case of the sniffles isn't. https://youtu.be/uG70TXTGMZE

We've heard death estimates for the U.S. that started as high as 2 - 3 million, then drop to 1 million, then drop to 100,000 - 240,000, and in the coming days we may get my first prediction for what the numbers will show at the end of all this.

I believe the 100,000 to 240,000 you're referring to are the numbers the White House released this week. They assume the protective measures remain firmly in effect. The figures in the millions are estimates based on the idea of nothing being done to contain the spread. When they presented the 100,000 to 240,000 figures this week, they did so alongside an assumption of 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 deaths with no intervention.

The following day the institute that did the modeling input the next round of new data into their model and revised the # of deaths upward by 14%. The modeling is done through July, the numbers aren't yet accounting for the likelihood of the virus returning in the fall.

The issue with modeling is it's going to vary a lot depending on all the variables in the data. And what happens with the data is up to the pure (possibly random) chaos of nature.

It’s worth it to take a look at this. NY and others are counting anyone that tests positive with the virus as dying from the virus.

Actual deaths from the virus are much lower than deaths with the virus present.

We are being lied to, my opinion is that they are using this and trying to get mail in voting to beat Trump.

Unfortunately, that makes no sense at all. Here's why.......

This is a virus. There is no cure for it. There's also no way of stopping the spread. The other day I showed a list of the top 20 states by population. Of those 20 states, 17 of them are on the list for the top states by infection rate. In other words, the virus has already spread everywhere evenly throughout the population. If we were stopping the spread you would see big pockets of the population that were almost unaffected, while other parts were ravaged by it. That's not at all what you're seeing. It's already everywhere.

Not to mention, we're all congregating in hospitals, grocery stores, Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe's, drug stores, banks, post offices, etc. We also have service workers circulating everywhere - electricians, plumbers, doctors, repairmen of all sorts, etc. We also have people back to work in factories building emergency devices. What about Amazon??? You have gigantic warehouses full of people all over the world!

They haven't stopped anything, and even the World Health Organization said all they've done is slow the spread by anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. You simply can't stop it.

In fact, they haven't even claimed they could stop it. Look at this famous "flatten the curve" projection they've given us. Notice that the number of cases will be the same either way, but they're claiming that if we slow the virus it will spread out the infections over a longer period of time.

So if you can't prevent the virus from spreading, you're barely even able to slow it down, and you can't treat it other than to put someone on a respirator hoping to help them breathe better, then how you could they possibly prevent over 90% of the deaths? By doing what?

That doesn't make sense. It's phony-baloney I'm afraid.

I have a way more interesting theory than that. I'll do some research on it and release it this weekend. If I'm right, it's a biggie!
