Wildfires only burn vulnerable trees.

COVID -19 has become the eighth most common cause of death among children in the United States. Covid-19 has been the third leading cause of death in the broader population. Since Covid is the most severe in the elderly and immunocompromised, parents have decided it is a good idea to have their children get infected multiple times in poorly ventilated classrooms. They have been told multiple times that children do not get infected and do not die from COVID.

Researchers’ analysis of data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that there were 821 Covid-19 deaths in children between the ages of 0 to 19, during a 12-month period from August 2021 to July 2022. That death rate – about 1 for every 100,000 children – ranks eighth compared with the 2019 data. It ranks fifth among adolescents ages 15 to 19. Children are less vaccinated against Covid-19 than any other age group in the US. Less than 10% of eligible children have gotten their updated booster shot, and more than 90% of children under 5 are completely unvaccinated.

A CDC survey of blood samples suggest that more than 90% of children have already had Covid-19 at least once.

COVID-19 deaths in America as of January 4, 2023 are as follows.

0-17                                   1,414 dead

18-29                               6,749 dead

30-39                             19,255 dead

40-49                            45,092 dead

50-64                           197,247 dead

65-74                           246,021 dead

75-84                           282,430 dead

85 years and older,   288,990 dead.

Total American deaths due to COVID as of Jan 4, 2023 … One million eighty seven thousand, one hundred ninety eight.

On February 2, 2023 that number rose to 1,134,259.

World wide there have been well over 6 million deaths.

Firefighting equipment makes no difference!

If your town hired firefighters who sprayed gasoline on the fire, your town would have to hire new firefighters. That is of course if the town were still standing after the blaze. We got to watch clowns in countries around the world pour gasoline on the pandemic blaze.

If those same firefighters said they could not put out the blaze and you should accept that we will all be burnt, you would hire new firefighters. Perhaps they might advise you that only 1% of the houses might burn. Hire new firefighters.

When the 2016 American presidential election rolled around I voted to remove the 45th president precisely because he did nothing to put out the fire. The 46th president unfortunately isn’t any better. He chooses to ignore the conflagration. He and his wife both tested positive for COVID twice and so they are “done: with the pandemic.

Someone shared a magnificent video that outlines the 4 stage strategy for COVID Pandemic response.

In stage 1 Politicians say, “Nothing is going to happen.”

In stage 2 They say, “Something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.”

In stage 3, They say, “Maybe there is something we should do about it, but there is nothing we CAN do.”

In stage 4, They say, “Perhaps there is something we could have done, but it is too late now.”

The wildfire won’t get us, its burning on the other side of the valley!

Posted on by Thor

In its selfish isolationist wisdom, the United States has hoarded vaccines allowing the virus to burn through other societies around the world. What politicians don’t think to understand is that if the virus is allowed to burn anywhere in the world, it will burn everywhere in the world. All it takes is one plane flight with an infected passenger for the wildfire to ignite in another country.

January 24, 2020 the 45th president said, “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

January 30, 2020, “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you,”

February 9, 2020,  “The flu, in our country, kills from 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year,” suggesting that it dwarfed the 15 cases of COVID-19 that had been reported in the U.S. at the time. He then predicted, the number would soon be near “zero.”

February 10, 2020, “By April or during the month of April, the heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus,”

February 27, 2020, “It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,”

March 10, 2020, “Well, this was unexpected. This was something that came out of China, and it hit us and many other countries. You look at the numbers; I see the numbers with just by watching you folks. I see it — it’s over 100 different countries. And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away,”

March 11, 2020, “To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground.”

Containing the virus in China was the one chance to eradicate the world widespread of the virus. That chance was lost in the first months. By the time any travel restriction took effect the virus had already spread world wide. All it takes is one infected passenger to step off a plane and a new wildfire will ignite in another country.

Wildfires won’t get us, we’ve splashed ourselves with water!

COVID-19 vaccines do NOT contain ingredients like preservatives, tissues (like aborted fetal cells), antibiotics, food proteins, medicines, latex, or metals.

Getting a COVID-19 vaccination IS a safer and more dependable way to build immunity to COVID-19 than getting sick with COVID-19. Neither will stop a re-infection.

COVID-19 vaccines do NOT create or cause variants of the virus that causes COVID-19. Instead, COVID-19 vaccines can help prevent new variants from emerging.

mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, work differently than other types of vaccines, but they still trigger an immune response inside your body. Immunity wanes over time.

COVID-19 vaccines do NOT contain microchips. Vaccines are developed to fight against disease and are not administered to track your movement.

COVID-19 vaccines do NOT change or interact with your DNA in any way.

Because none of the authorized COVID-19 vaccines in the United States contain the live virus that causes COVID-19, the vaccine CANNOT make you sick with COVID-19.

Immunity only lasts for the COVID variant of the day. Variants are mutating monthly and daily.

Thought America has hoarded a biblical excess of vaccines they are not going into many arms. COVID re-infections are common and they are not harmless.

I slept with COVID

Posted on by Thor

I slept with COVID-19. On the morning of January 25, 2023 I woke up and as I got dressed, I was surprised that Pam was sleeping in. She usually gets up before me. I got my day started by working on a painting. Later in the morning I got a call from Pam letting me know that she had tested positive for COVID-19. Before our call was over I already had my N-95 mask on. I don’t wear a mask to bed however, so I had to have been exposed.

My plan is to self isolate for 10 days. Unfortunately that means staying isolated from Pam as well. Since the bedroom was already exposed to the virus she would stay in that room. I would make each meal and leave hers in a bathroom where she would pick it up. She ordered some easy to make foods which I have been preparing for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The first evening after the positive test I had to decide where to sleep. There was a guest bedroom right across from where Pam was sleeping but I had read an article about a quarantine hotel where the person across the hall had managed to become exposed just from the opening and closing of doors as food was delivered. I decided instead to sleep on a couch which is down a long hallway.

Pam and I had just recently ordered N-95 masks and a HEPA air filter. I moved the HEPA filter to my studio while I painted and kept my N-95 on all day. The N-95 is amazingly breathable, I honestly often forget I have it on. When I went to bed I moved the HEPA filter next to the couch. The dogs curled up next to me.

The first night was horrible for Pam, she had a fever, body aches, soar throat, chills, hot sweats, fatigue, headache, congestion and a runny nose. She said it was the sickest she has ever been. I could hear her cough from down the hall. She has had every vaccine shot and the booster. Several times she considered the idea of having me bring her to the hospital but I only found this out later. At one point she sent me a zombie emoji.

She thinks she probably got infected at one of the Weddings or Bat Mitzvahs that she played hostess at. She was the only person among the several hundred at these events who was masked. She complained about her eye lids feeling like magma the first evening she had symptoms. This leads me to think she may have been infected through her eyes. Since the N–95 is just 95% effective, she may have also breathed in the virus at the event. We will never know for sure. Contact tracing is a thing of the past. Another of her co-workers was also infected.

After several days her symptoms trailed off. She made a rather quick recovery. All the while she kept working from home, doing spreadsheets, grants, and summer camp plans. Right now she is having a zoom meeting on the back porch. She probably got more work done while in isolation since there were no interruptions except for my occasional text to see if she was hungry or needed anything.

On the morning of January 30, 2023 I woke up with a horrible sour throat that made my ears ache. I hadn’t felt that painful of a soar throat since I had my tonsils out when I was 9 years old. Naturally my thought was that I had COVID. I had made one tactical mistake in trying to avoid the airborne virus. I couldn’t sleep with my N-95 mask on. I took it off an hoped the HEPA filter would be enough to remove any virus before I breathed it in. I kept the HEPA as close to my head as I could.

We have several COVID at home tests in the closet. Any time the government makes them available, I let Pam know, and she orders some. I took a test, and the ten minute wait was agonizing. I tested negative. Now I wonder if I pressed the swab up my nose far enough. I tickled my brain enough so that I had to sneeze repeatedly.

We are now on day 6 of our lockdown. Pam seems good as new and my soar throat only lasted the one morning. I have not developed any other symptoms. We have remained separated and communicate through a long thread of texts. We started watching movies by setting up a zoom meeting. I would sit in the living room and she would watch the TV from her bedroom on zoom. I had to put a dining room chair on the coffee table to raise the computer camera high enough for her to see the TV. The jury rigged system worked pretty good. We could talk to each other as the program played.

I will take another test at the end of the isolation period just to be sure, but the only symptom was a short lived soar throat. Amazingly I may have dodged the bullet again.

Return to Normal

Posted on by Thor

The pandemic is not over. We need to stop buying into the denial that we are “back to normal.” The Aztec culture of human sacrifice used to be considered brutal and horrific. However it does not compare to the over 500 deaths a day as officials placate the public to help them feel that it is fine to go back to everyday life with no face masks, social distancing or any improved ventilation of indoor spaces. The elite keep themselves safe and convince the lower classes to return to normal, and infect one another. 

COVID kills ten times more people than the flu. COVID kills more people than car accidents, strokes, respiratory disease, diabetes, pneumonia and Alzheimer’s. Nine  months ago when the public was told that Covid-19 patients retain elevated risk of infection for at least nine months after being infected, now that risk assessment was extended to 18 months. Getting infected does not build up you immune system, it destroys it.

In 2022 there was a 30% increase in heart attacks among 25-44 year olds. Excess deaths have been on the rise since the start of the pandemic and many of these are likely due to prior COVID infections. This number will keep rising with repeat COVID infections. Each month, more than a million people have called out sick for the past three years. About 7% of Americans currently have long Covid, which can affect productivity and ability to work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

White House COVID Czar, “Ashish Jha almost gleefully explained that vaccines, tests, and treatments for Covid are heading to the private sector, “My hope is that in 2023, you’re going to see the commercialization of almost all of these products.” Cha-ching! Big money to be made on palatine remedies that do not stop the spread of the virus. Soon drug store shelves will be jam packed. But pharmacists at CVS and Walgreens are dropping off like flies, so pharmacy hours are being cut back. Testing centers are a thing of the past as people test at home. All those at home tests go unrecorded so who knows how much virus is actually out there.

No Jabby Jabby

Posted on by Thor

A conservative activist from Arlington, Texas, who peddled COVID-19 vaccine misinformation died of complications caused by the virus, just a few weeks after attending a “symposium” against the shots. Her death was caused by “COVID-related pneumonia.”

The anit-Vaxer announced on Facebook in November of 2021 that her employer granted her a religious exemption for the COVID-19 vaccine. “No jabby-jabby for me! Praise GOD!” she wrote at the time. She was an outspoken critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates and pandemic-related restrictions. In one of her final Facebook posts, she shared several links to speeches she attended at a “COVID Symposium” in Burleson, Texas devoted to dissuading people from getting the COVID-19 vaccines that are currently available. The event was organized by God Save Our Children, which bills itself as “a conservative group that is fighting against the use of experimental vaccines on our children.”

She developed an acute abdominal issue, was given pain medications and put on the ventilator. She died peacefully after gasping her last breath and is now resting in the arms of her savior Jesus Christ. Her misinformation guaranteed she isn’t going to the lord alone.

I Pity the Maskless Fool

Posted on by Thor

“I Pity the Fool” said Mr T.Masks work. COVID is airborne. Research has shown that acknowledged the efficacy of mask-wearing to some degree at slowing the spread of COVID-19. A February 2021 article published by the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed data from 10 previous studies conclude mask wearing substantially reduces spread. A cloth mask reduces exhaled droplets by 50 to 70%. So cloth masks are best at source control but not at filtering the virus itself.

Universal mask adoption for people when in public is recommended by the authors of the “An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19,” first published in January by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S. Researchers poured over at least 150 other studies, models and findings to draw their conclusion: “The available evidence suggests that near-universal adoption of non-medical masks when out in public, in combination with complementary public health measures, could successfully reduce virus reproduction levels to below 1, thereby reducing community spread if such measures are sustained.” Additionally, they concluded that mask wearing mandates could add $1 trillion to the U.S. GDP by preventing business closures.

A June 2020 University of Iowa study published in the Health Affairs medical journal estimated over 200,000 COVID-19 cases were prevented in May after masking was mandated in several states. For this experiment, researchers used data analysis and models to measure community spread before and after a mask mandate was enacted. Data found that within 1-5 days after a mandate was issued, daily case rates dropped nearly one percentage point. Within 21 or more days, they dropped two.

Face masks, worn correctly, that’s right chin straps don’t count, combined with other preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. The tools are simple and effective, but Americans are. lets face the facts, ignorant fools.

 

Henry V at the Shakes

Posted on by Thor

Henry V at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater runs through February 5, 2023. The young Henry V, the King of England is shown to be a fair but stern rules. A french diplomat brings him a gift from the King of France. When the gift is opened, tennis balls drop out and bounce on the court floor boards. This jest ignited the kings fury and he invades France.

In France the tired English army storms a gated city and though outnumbered, the king threatens his way through the gates to take the stronghold. The implication seems to be that solid oratory is stronger than the sword.

Everything lead up to a huge battle at Agincourt. On the evening before the battle Henry walks disguised among his troops to find out how the soldiers view the following battle. His inspiring rally cry to the troops on the morning of battle has every soldier uproariously ready for the fight. The French on the other hand were port-raid as arrogant princes on their fancy ponies. The incredible bloody battle came down to hand to hand combat after Henry forced the French into a funnel and pikes took out the charging knights on horseback. King Arthur’s Archers in the back turned the tide.

Some French managed to get behind the English lines and they killed the young boys who helped with the battle carts. This sparked absolute rage in King Henry and he killed every French prisoner. His ideal of what war should be were now brutal actions. In a strange turn the king then struggles to win the love of the French princess who was part of the peace treaty. All his battle hardened exterior must melt away if he is to win her hand.

 

 

 

One MILLION N-95 Masks

Posted on by admin

On Twitter some anti-science conspiracy theorist was offering money for people to stop following Tern, a Twitter user who follows the latest COVID research. People kept writing in to see just how much money was being offered. Of course the anti science nerd had no actual figure in mind.

Then my diabolical mind started spinning, Just how much would it take for me to completely ignore the science and return to life as normal as if the virus didn’t exist? I decided my price would be one MILLION N-95 masks. Even the science deniers might have a turn of mind as people keep dying around them. Of course many science deniers have already died.

A study found that twice as many Republicans have died of COVID than Democrats. A refusal to take a simple vaccine is the major cause of those deaths.e

Of course 1,099,866 masks would have been preferable. One for each person in America who died needlessly from an airborne virus. Their lives are worth an unimaginable fortune.
