On April 27, 2020, the Portland Press-Herald reported, "Rye [New Hampshire] police are advising surfers to catch a wave elsewhere or face the prospective of a fine.
"Rye Police Chief Kevin Walsh said his officers are weary of chasing off surfers in groups as large as 10 who are ignoring beach closures. "Many are parking in church lots and on private property, so Walsh is seeking permission from these property owners to ticket and tow the vehicles. Police may also start issuing tickets to surfers for trespassing on the beach."
Chief Walsh's efforts were in vain. Guarding 19 miles of ocean from 10 surfers did not work. Covid spread across the state.
Masks did not work.
Social distancing did not work.
Plexiglass did not work.
Bumping elbows instead of shaking hands did not work.
Separating loved ones from their dying relatives did not work.
Shutting down the economy did not work.
Vaccines don't seem to be working either. Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world, is suffering its worst covid wave yet.
Sweden didn't lockdown and it did little worse than anyone else and fared better than some.
It is time to live again.
Americans need to live like Americans again. Two centuries before Chief Walsh, another New Hampshire leader -- General John Stark -- the hero of the Battle of Bennington -- wrote to his men, "Live Free Or Die."
We need to be worthy of General Stark and go back to being Americans.
Yes, everybody with an ocean Across the U.S.A Go out and be surfin' Even Californi-a Go put on your baggies Huarache sandals too This is, this is what we do Surfin' U.S.A.
General Stark and his men and the Green Mountain Boys of the Republic of Vermont fought a Revolutionary War amid a smallpox epidemic in which one-third of those infected died.
Not 0.5%.
33%.
They did not Zoom the war. They fought. They did not allow an actual plague to stop them from living before they died.
What has living like inmates locked down on death row achieved?
Nothing.
The New York Daily News reported, "Daily coronavirus cases are four times higher than they were following Labor Day weekend of last year with the number of daily deaths twice as high as they were this time in 2020, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
"Since the global health crisis emerged in late 2019, the United States has recorded more than 40 million COVID-19 cases, including just 4 million in the last month alone.
"Health officials noted the biggest difference between this year and last is the delta variant. They blamed the 316% increase over last year’s daily infections on the highly contagious covid 19 mutation as well as a large number of Americans refusing to become vaccinated against the fast-spreading disease.
"According to data from Health and Human Services, hospitalization rates are also up 157% compared with Labor Day weekend 2020, leaving medical facilities packed to the brim and their staffs exhausted and overwhelmed.
"What’s more, intensive care units across several states are inching closer to full capacity, which could force doctors to make life-and-death decisions."
The report is a bunch of Bolshevik Propaganda.
But the Pandemic Panic Press inadvertently makes my point. A year ago, we had no vaccine. Now we do and half the population is vaccinated and cases have quadrupled, then nothing works.
Blaming the unvaccinated for the increase is ridiculous. Last year no one was vaccinated, and we had one-fourth the cases we have now.
We know why.
The government and the media are manipulating the data.
At some point, we have to quit being babies and go back to being Americans.
Oh sure. Take precautions. I am not really sure just what those precautions are because none of them have stemmed the spread of covid. I was vaccinated. That seemed to work. But you do you.
Above all live.
Surf Free or Die.
WIPE OUT!............................
I actually remember Wipeout in the Top 40................
“Charlie don’t surf...”
My motto regarding this whole thing: Give me liberty or give me death.
I’ve been living with it from day one the same way I live with the flu, the common cold, etc. And I’ve never had a flu shot.
I ignore it. The one really negative effect this whole thing has had on me is this: When I see someone in public CHOOSING to wear a mask when one is required, I lose a LOT of respect for them. This has impacted a lot of friendships. I don’t say anything. Rather, I just choose not to be around people with masks.
I felt the same way when, before this endemic, I used to see the occasional Asian wearing a mask in public. There are a few germaphobe’s out there. They have every right to be, just as they have the right to smoke. Doesn’t mean it’s smart.
one is required = NONE is required.
Sorry...
I remember all the surfers from HS late 60’s early 70’s.
They were the ‘cool’ people (hippy types), not the jocks or the nerds (me).
They went surfing every weekend and skipped school during the week when they could get away with it.
Had GPA’s in the lower digits.
Wonder where they all are now?....................
mega dittos here
Gee. It is almost as if they were reading this on the Internet or something.
Me too!
You know, I have always thought that movie was just funnier than Hell...and I love that scene...especially the look on the guy’s face he is talking to.
I know a lot of people hate that movie, but think it is because they view it as documentary...I have always viewed it as entertainment.
In the State Department.
The Panic Porn Industry wants to keep people afraid
Sadly Sleepy Joe is basing decisions on this fake reading of the data
You and I feel exactly the same way. Last year in August, I went up to northern Maine, and up there...people didn’t give a hoot.
You want to wear a mask? Fine. Don’t? Don’t really care.
Up there, you just wore one or not. Probably the same with vaccinations.
But when I see someone in public outdoors, in their car, riding a bike, jogging, WHATEVER...I mark them as an idiot. I try not to be judgmental, but...I simply cannot help it.
When I was a kid I lived in Japan for a few years back in the Sixties, and I remember seeing the flocks of elementary school kids in their uniforms, backpacks, beanies, and...face masks. I just found it weird then, but figured, “Well...I guess that is how they do it over here.”
Either giving out coffee at Starbucks, or they made millions selling “organic” products.
I know at least one of them joined the Merchant Marine Service so that he could ‘surf the world’......................
I was one of them. We are actually physicians, attorneys, architects, engineers and financial professionals. But we had a little fun along the way (and still do)!
