The only solution is to pump yourself with a lab generated drug. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be in the prime of your life, and do everything right, and still have a heart attack, cancer or a myriad other illnesses. Maybe be more upset that Mcdonald's, Wendy's, Pizza Hut, KFC, spends millions on advertising so people can eat crap food. 1 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's for all the right reasons, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. It's just one year, so I keep reminding myself of that. But damn I miss them. Beyond anything measurable. This crap can't be over soon enough....I know we're just entering the home stretch and it'll be awhile yet and, truth be told, it'll take me a long while after that to return to normal. There was a deadly rabbit virus circulating for 3 years prior to COVID so I've been in "virus mode" for a long time now and am programmed to just do things with caution (will never again wear shoes in the home). I'm exhausted. we're not on the home stretch yet. If we're using horse racing terms, we're probably just finishing up the back stretch, headed into the final turn before the home stretch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/16/us/mayor-resigns-over-masks-trnd/index.html Quote A Kansas mayor has resigned after backlash to comments she made in support of a mask mandate in her city. Dodge City Mayor Joyce Warshaw submitted her letter of resignation Tuesday. It was effective immediately and it cited concerns for her safety. "Life has dealt out many challenges in our world that have perhaps caused many people to act inappropriately but I do not feel safe in this position anymore and am hopeful in removing myself this anger, accusations and abuse will not fall on anyone else and will calm down," Warshaw wrote in the letter. The Dodge City commission voted in favor of a mask mandate on November 16 following a spike in coronavirus cases in the western Kansas city which has a population of nearly 30,000 people. In a December 11 USA TODAY story, Warshaw expressed her support for the mandate and said that it wasn't until the threat of the flu season and the spike in national cases that city officials felt it was necessary to pass a mask mandate. "We just felt like we had to do something so everybody was aware of how important it was for everybody to be responsible for each other's health and well-being," Warshaw was quoted in the story, causing backlash from citizens. Since the article was published, Warshaw has received threatening phone calls and emails from Dodge City citizens, according to the Dodge City Daily Globe. Police are investigating the threats but could not provide any further information as it is an ongoing investigation, authorities told CNN. "I understand people are under a lot of pressure from various things that are happening around society like the pandemic, the politics, the economy, so on and so forth, but I also believe that during these times people are acting not as they normally would," Warshaw told the Daily Globe. "I think it's best for me and the city that I love to remove myself from the commission at this time and from the mayorship so that the city can move forward and be the best that it can be because I believe in the city." Warshaw was the third female mayor in the city's history and had served on the city commission since 2012, according to the Daily Globe. The vacancy will be discussed at a city commission meeting later this month. I would have walked as well. It's not like Mayor is a big paying job.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's a claim for which he has no proof to back it up with - or more likely, he's purposely ignored the proof that supports the opposing position. I suppose thats possible, but I don't think we're dealing with that kind of person here. I don't like his politics but I don't believe Dix would take the risk of a blatant lie like that. I guess we'll find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 And maybe after a good workout, your body is tired and more easily susceptible to the virus.

I don't know which would be worse, to be honest - a lying cabinet member, or an incompetent one. edit - and just to be clear (because there are so many other discussions happening in this thread), I take issue with him asserting that there hasn't been a single case of secondary transmission in the schools. If there has been asymptomatic spread in the classroom, that would still be considered transmission. Furthermore, there have been schools that have been hit with declared outbreaks - to the point of closure. He would have to be extremely naive to think that secondary transmission was not possible at the schools for those situations. I know for a fact there has........many 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
