I’ve got to ask the big question to you because nobody at all the usual government places 
that ought to know, can’t tell me! Okay, first let me preface this question with some facts, totally irrefutable facts that anybody can verify:
To date, 2.5% of the US population has been infected with COVID-19. Of that number, 99.7% survived. So my question is, what are we trying to achieve, what do we consider an acceptable number of losses so we can resume living again?
There have been a number of terrible diseases, including the 1918 flu, that have found their way to our shores. However, we didn’t ruin a third of America’s small businesses and plunge us trillions of dollars into debt for the sake of quarantine that 99.7% of those infected will survive!
But, it gets worse, and I quote next from Robert Redfield, director for the Center for Disease Control, “But there has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools,” Redfield said. “We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID.”
Our children are suffering needlessly because they need the social interaction that can only come from being outside the home. Our entire population that is under the age of 60 and in reasonably good health is not considered at-risk. Why are we continuing to quarantine the entire population and cause enormous damage to ourselves, that will last far beyond anything COVIDs can do to us? Speaking purely from the statistics, it doesn’t make a lot of sense and that is one huge understatement.
We have let the bureaucrats have enormous control and in some cases, unconstitutional control over us, with no continuity in how they administer this lockdown. Some of these people know nothing beyond their lab and they are making decisions that is destroying our economy. Business A can stay open, but business B down the street, can’t, but why? Why are we putting our money in a plastic tray at the drive-up window at McDonald’s and the girl inside takes the money out and gives us our food? Hands are still touching money, hands are still touching my food…cripes, this is insane. But, we go along with the program… why? Why or why do we continue to do so much stupid stuff that will have zero impact on the spread of COVID’s? Stupid is a worse killer than COVID’s.
Here’s a thought, end the quarantine now. Those that want to self-quarantine can, those that don’t…go live life. Enough already, take a little risk, live life before we have no life to live.
PS My grandson caught COVIDS and he was over it in 8 days with no meds. He said he’s felt worse with the flu.
Maybe this, from Mark Levin, will help answer your question. Covid isn’t just about getting sick and possibly dying. It’s a tool being used to forge a different world. IMHO
Trump Resistance Plans ‘Mass Mobilization’ After Election To Shut Down The Country If Biden Doesn’t Win:

The lockdown “cure” has been worse than the disease!!!!! I choose having a life instead of cowering in my basement!
Well I ventured out and had coffee with a friend at a restaurant today, and we did so without masks on.
I ‘ll let you know the results in about 14 days…
Harold, this might be coming a little late (I hope not!), but because you are at that age where caution is always prudent, I won’t go so far as to say nobody should ever wear a mask when out and about. But, I would like to reserve that option for me to decide, not the government. So, you can actually go out for a cup of coffee in Texas and sit down in a coffee shop that has tables with chairs? Amazing… must be nice. I’ve almost forgotten what that was like.
Well it ain’t like we all sit around campfires here about listening to cattle belch.
We mask up for the trip there and back, but filtering coffee thru that mask just don’t cut it.
Harold of course my only point was that you are a valuable commodity these days (red, white and blue, conservative) and we want to keep you around a long, long time! Now about that mask, you gave me an idea, maybe I could invent a mask that works like a coffee filter? That way you could leave it on while you drink! lol
Off topic, but WELL DONE!

Solemnity of Christ the King
Mr. President,
Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America. I am writing to you in the midst of the silence of both civil and religious authorities. May you accept these words of mine as the “voice of one crying out in the desert” (Jn 1:23).
As I said when I wrote my letter to you in June, this historical moment sees the forces of Evil aligned in a battle without quarter against the forces of Good; forces of Evil that appear powerful and organized as they oppose the children of Light, who are disoriented and disorganized, abandoned by their temporal and spiritual leaders.
Daily we sense the attacks multiplying of those who want to destroy the very basis of society: the natural family, respect for human life, love of country, freedom of education and business. We see heads of nations and religious leaders pandering to this suicide of Western culture and its Christian soul, while the fundamental rights of citizens and believers are denied in the name of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of an inhuman faceless tyranny
A global plan called the Great Reset is underway. Its architect is a global Ă©lite that wants to subdue all of humanity, imposing coercive measures with which to drastically limit individual freedoms and those of entire populations. In several nations this plan has already been approved and financed; in others it is still in an early stage. Behind the world leaders who are the accomplices and executors of this infernal project, there are unscrupulous characters who finance the World Economic Forum and Event 201, promoting their agenda.
The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures, hidden behind tempting promises of ensuring a universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21 promoted by Bill Gates with the collaboration of the main pharmaceutical groups. Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.
Mr. President, I imagine that you are already aware that in some countries the Great Reset will be activated between the end of this year and the first trimester of 2021. For this purpose, further lockdowns are planned, which will be officially justified by a supposed second and third wave of the pandemic. You are well aware of the means that have been deployed to sow panic and legitimize draconian limitations on individual liberties, artfully provoking a world-wide economic crisis. In the intentions of its architects, this crisis will serve to make the recourse of nations to the Great Reset irreversible, thereby giving the final blow to a world whose existence and very memory they want to completely cancel. But this world, Mr. President, includes people, affections, institutions, faith, culture, traditions, and ideals: people and values that do not act like automatons, who do not obey like machines, because they are endowed with a soul and a heart, because they are tied together by a spiritual bond that draws its strength from above, from that God that our adversaries want to challenge, just as Lucifer did at the beginning of time with his “non serviam.”
Many people — as we well know — are annoyed by this reference to the clash between Good and Evil and the use of “apocalyptic” overtones, which according to them exasperates spirits and sharpens divisions. It is not surprising that the enemy is angered at being discovered just when he believes he has reached the citadel he seeks to conquer undisturbed. What is surprising, however, is that there is no one to sound the alarm. The reaction of the deep state to those who denounce its plan is broken and incoherent, but understandable. Just when the complicity of the mainstream media had succeeded in making the transition to the New World Order almost painless and unnoticed, all sorts of deceptions, scandals and crimes are coming to light.
Until a few months ago, it was easy to smear as “conspiracy theorists” those who denounced these terrible plans, which we now see being carried out down to the smallest detail. No one, up until last February, would ever have thought that, in all of our cities, citizens would be arrested simply for wanting to walk down the street, to breathe, to want to keep their business open, to want to go to church on Sunday. Yet now it is happening all over the world, even in picture-postcard Italy that many Americans consider to be a small enchanted country, with its ancient monuments, its churches, its charming cities, its characteristic villages. And while the politicians are barricaded inside their palaces promulgating decrees like Persian satraps, businesses are failing, shops are closing, and people are prevented from living, traveling, working, and praying. The disastrous psychological consequences of this operation are already being seen, beginning with the suicides of desperate entrepreneurs and of our children, segregated from friends and classmates, told to follow their classes while sitting at home alone in front of a computer.
In Sacred Scripture, Saint Paul speaks to us of “the one who opposes” the manifestation of the mystery of iniquity, the kathèkon (2 Thess 2:6-7). In the religious sphere, this obstacle to evil is the Church, and in particular the papacy; in the political sphere, it is those who impede the establishment of the New World Order.
As is now clear, the one who occupies the Chair of Peter has betrayed his role from the very beginning in order to defend and promote the globalist ideology, supporting the agenda of the deep church, who chose him from its ranks.
Mr. President, you have clearly stated that you want to defend the nation — One Nation under God, fundamental liberties, and non-negotiable values that are denied and fought against today. It is you, dear President, who are “the one who opposes” the deep state, the final assault of the children of darkness.
For this reason, it is necessary that all people of good will be persuaded of the epochal importance of the imminent election: not so much for the sake of this or that political program, but because of the general inspiration of your action that best embodies — in this particular historical context — that world, our world, which they want to cancel by means of the lockdown. Your adversary is also our adversary: it is the Enemy of the human race, He who is “a murderer from the beginning” (Jn 8:44).
Around you are gathered with faith and courage those who consider you the final garrison against the world dictatorship. The alternative is to vote for a person who is manipulated by the deep state, gravely compromised by scandals and corruption, who will do to the United States what Jorge Mario Bergoglio is doing to the Church, Prime Minister Conte to Italy, President Macron to France, Prime Minster Sanchez to Spain, and so on. The blackmailable nature of Joe Biden — just like that of the prelates of the Vatican’s “magic circle” — will expose him to be used unscrupulously, allowing illegitimate powers to interfere in both domestic politics as well as international balances. It is obvious that those who manipulate him already have someone worse than him ready, with whom they will replace him as soon as the opportunity arises.
And yet, in the midst of this bleak picture, this apparently unstoppable advance of the “Invisible Enemy,” an element of hope emerges. The adversary does not know how to love, and it does not understand that it is not enough to assure a universal income or to cancel mortgages in order to subjugate the masses and convince them to be branded like cattle. This people, which for too long has endured the abuses of a hateful and tyrannical power, is rediscovering that it has a soul; it is understanding that it is not willing to exchange its freedom for the homogenization and cancellation of its identity; it is beginning to understand the value of familial and social ties, of the bonds of faith and culture that unite honest people. This Great Reset is destined to fail because those who planned it do not understand that there are still people ready to take to the streets to defend their rights, to protect their loved ones, to give a future to their children and grandchildren. The leveling inhumanity of the globalist project will shatter miserably in the face of the firm and courageous opposition of the children of Light. The enemy has Satan on its side, He who only knows how to hate. But on our side, we have the Lord Almighty, the God of armies arrayed for battle, and the Most Holy Virgin, who will crush the head of the ancient Serpent. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom 8:31).
Mr. President, you are well aware that, in this crucial hour, the United States of America is considered the defending wall against which the war declared by the advocates of globalism has been unleashed. Place your trust in the Lord, strengthened by the words of the Apostle Paul: “I can do all things in Him who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13). To be an instrument of Divine Providence is a great responsibility, for which you will certainly receive all the graces of state that you need, since they are being fervently implored for you by the many people who support you with their prayers.
With this heavenly hope and the assurance of my prayer for you, for the First Lady, and for your collaborators, with all my heart I send you my blessing.
God bless the United States of America!

RHT, that letter is an incredibly powerful message from a man who near the top of leadership in the Catholic church. I’m not a Catholic, but I can’t think of another church that carries more clout in the Western world than the Catholics. I wish more voters had an opportunity to read this before they cast a vote for Biden, maybe they would have had second thoughts? Excellent find RHT.
I know that COVIDs is surging in many areas around the US and the world, however, the mortality remains stable and that mortality is tiny, .04%, and that is focused on mostly very elderly people! That is the main point of my article, we’ve achieved beating back the mortality rate to less than a half of one percent. That’s a win in my book! The mortality rate is less lethal than a dozen other communicable diseases that I can think of, but this one just happens to be a pandemic and so it has our full attention.
In the US, about half the patients who died with or from COVIDs were already in a nursing home and would likely have died before the year was out anyway. I know…its still a sad loss for the affected families and I don’t want to discount that personal pain, but pandemic or not, the draconian measures some of our petty bureaucrats, like Gavin Newsom, have taken on our behalf are taking an even worse toll on us!
There comes a time when leaders have to man-up and say the quarantine is over, the public has been educated, you can feel free to take personal precautions, like washing hands, wearing masks, social distancing and such. But, for God’s sake, its time to let people live their lives, let them work and return to school! We can’t afford to lock down over half the economy because a piddly .04% of the population, mostly over the age of 80, might die with or from, COVIDs! That part makes no sense to me and it really never did.
If anyone out here can explain why we should continue under strict quarantine measures, please let us all know. You will be given the front page.
