UT again demonstrates a classic Trump supporter. Personal insults and not one fact. Proving but again how corrupt Trump is and how brainwashed his supporters are.

You could have prevented deaths if you had such amazing a priori knowledge. You claim you had the information. You bought the masks. You told nobody. You did not prevent the deaths. Blood is on your hands, killer.
I tried on February first but you guys wanted to talk about instrument of music instead of instruments of death.

That was my fault.

We didn’t have expert intelligence reports being delivered to us. It wasn’t until March that I realized it was worse than the flu here in the US. Those first two weeks of March, shit got real. I had been trying to understand the numbers and what they meant in the second half of February.

I attended a wedding on February 29, and had a fairly intense discussion with a cousin where I took the position that Covid was serious, but only about as bad as the flu. She was in full blown pandemic belief, but interestingly, was at a crowded wedding without a mask. I don’t think there were confirmed US cases yet at that time, but I was convinced it had breached the borders.

My office closed Mid-March, and I bought a better computer monitor the first week of March, so I knew it was real then.

I am going to pick a date and say that I knew it was real on March 10, 2020.

In those early days, CDC was saying masks were unnecessary (yet). Because the major shortage of masks and other PPE was even apparent to me in January by simply viewing what was on retail store shelves. As Dr Fauci said, back then, we did not encourage masks because too few were available for those who most needed them - doctors, nurses, etc.

That was the point of not posting. Cellar was one of my sources - to appreciate how much was known and unknown. Surprising that no one was discussing this in January or February. Apparently my news sources (that, for example, avoids all local gossip pretending to be news) tend to be more informed. Store shelves imply I was only one of many with better informed news services.

In other words, you didn't encourage us to save our own lives because you wanted to see how many of us would die.

Reading the Title of the thread and every time DJT opens his mouth the spewing of Lies, Vulgarness and Sad Soul words come to my mind.

And I believe on Covid, there is so so so much we'll never know....and I don't own a mask, distancing is what I do anyway as I'm home for a lot of years and sanitizers, never owned one. I'm fine..

Vit C, Vit D, Zinc and Grapeseed Exract are my champions. And these COULD keep everyone from contracting the virus. Just sayin...

Where is one fact or number that justifies any of that?

Grapeseed Extract comes from stores that science clearly exposed as scams. NY Attorney General studied everything found on shelves in GNC. 90% of those contents were not what was listed on the label. Health food stores target consumers who are always most easily scammed. Who must lie to themselves to believe 'miracle cure' lies and other conclusions only from emotions.

Apparently you have made a conclusion based only in wild speculation. Masks are not worn to protect you. Any informed adult (thinking like an adult) knows that. Masks are worn to protect Constitutional Rights of all others. Apparently you have contempt for everyone else and logical thought; do not wear a mask.

Ignorance is never an excuse. Ignorance is why one believes scams will keep one healthy. Only contempt of others explains why one would not use a mask.

Unfortunately too many adults still only use the brain of a child to make conclusions. "I feel. Therefore it must be true."

Same though process also concludes, "I ran stop signs and did not kill anyone. So that proves I can run all stop signs."

Where is even one fact or number justify those beliefs? Scams are that easily promoted who use the reptilian brain to make decisions.

Now now, nobody... well not too many, are that vain. It's I found 3 people on the internet who agree, so it must be true.

tw,

In case you haven't noticed, because you don't follow all the threads, The Cellar is closing on Dec. 31.

What will be your new endeavor when this frees up all your time.

Knitting?

And so it has come to this, I am agreeing with tw.

Truly we are living in the end times.
