Especially around Tuskegee, which is only about 20 miles from me. The citizens of Macon Country, of which Tuskegee is the county seat, are 80% black.

They are all well versed in the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.

I live here. I don’t care and I will not follow the mandate.

Enough is enough.

So it would appear that you are in favor of forcing everyone to submit to the jab?

Why were you on Free Republic?

“Cookie baking grandma governor is going to initiate a lockdown and mask mandate. Bank on it.”

I expect it any day now. The Communists in the Alabama “media” are practically demanding it. Fear porn abounds.

I wish we had a Governor like DeSantis.

Does Alabama count asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases?

NYS does.

Our stats are crap. Bet Alabama’s are, too.

I do believe that if I get COVID Delta, it won't be so bad. Am I wrong?

No you're not wrong. I know several church members whose kids came back from camp with cold symptoms. Many tested positive for covid. Two or three days and they were done. Even older people I know who got it from these kids either had no symptoms or "crusty" eyes...that was it.

I'm not convinced that these covid tests aren't just measuring known covid colds that have been around forever.

“If I were loving in Alabama, I would be more concerned over all the damn fire ants down there.”

You aren’t wrong. That and our current heat wave, which is causing vehicles on the interstate to catch fire.

The CoupFlu is my last worry.

I’m not in favor of forcing everyone to submit. I am opposed to the false and misleading information about the vaccines fostered by the anti-vaxxers.

“Highest COVID case positivity rate in the U.S.” And this is determined by a test that can’t distinguish between COVID and flu. AND, positivity doesn’t mean lethality...

My parents lived in Birmingham for a few years when I was in college. Didn’t know anyone down there, but it seemed like a very nice place. Pretty girls and fire ants. That is what I remember about Birmingham.

Even if it was an every day thing: 314 deaths/day X 365.25 days/year = 114,688 per year. We'll say 115,000.

We have 3,400,000 deaths per year (all causes). That means 3.3% of deaths would be from the cheyna virus, even if it were to maintain the 314 deaths/day rate.

For whatever reason we quit talking about the other 3,285,000 deaths every year. And that's even assuming the 314 deaths/day were all covid deaths anyway.

Just trying to maintain a perspective of what they want us all freaking out over. That'd be almost as bad as if they wanted to call 700 racial murders (including both black-on-white and white-on-black with hispanics lumped into "white") per year with a nation of 350,000,000 people as "systemic racism". Could you imagine if they tried to tell us that? LOL

Keep wondering, where exactly they are putting all the illegals who ae poring into our country. We really should try to find out. It could give us a clue where and how to fight the election wars.

You are spreading government propaganda.

Do you actually believe anything the CDC or Fauci says?

I’ll take my chances with the virus before I submit to any medical treatment that is being forced upon us by the likes of Biden, Pelosi, Newsome, Fauci or you.

This is one of the very few places on the internet where there is a free exchange of information on this plandemic. If we want the government’s false and misleading propaganda information we can go to CNN or any other propaganda outlet.

You don’t know anything about the vaccine.

At this point nobody knows anything.

I am not an anti Vaxxer. I’ve had them all. But I ain’t taking this one. It ain’t a vaccine. It’s long term effects are unknown and at this point, the evidence is in that it doesn’t work.

So find another forum where you can be part of the MSM echo chamber.

This is Free Republic.

The name says it all.

My daughter came home from came with a sore throat and common cold symptoms. She sounded awful and was scheduled to work in a public venue, so I made her go to the doctor. The doctor asked her if she wanted a covid test. She said no. The doctor asked her if she wanted a strep test. She said no. The doctor diagnosed that she had a summer cold and sent her on her way. She had this snotty cold for weeks. Subsequent camp weeks had Covid cases.

A Relative of ours has the Kung Flu.
She is 78 Years Old and had already been Vaccinated.

So far her symptoms have been mild and the only treatment her MD Prescribed is a Z Pak.

It is apparent to anyone with a Brain that the Vaccine is not even close to 100% effective, but it appears that once Vaccinated the severity of symptoms if you do catch the Kung Flu are lessened.

A 40 Year Old Friend of our also caught the Kung Flu after being Vaccinated and had very mild symptoms. The first “rapid” Test he got was negative, but that Test isn’t very reliable. A follow up “regular” Test came out Positive.

The so called Delta Variant is less severe than the original Kung Flu Strain, but it may be more easily transmitted.

Of course this whole Kung Flu debacle is full of guesses and suppositions that have only fed the Political crap being used to attack our Constitutional Rights.

Apparently using Lies, damn Lies and Statistics in order to control the Population is the order of the day.

Are you referring to the vaccines developed by Donald Trump, those vaccines he’s urging all his supporters to get?

First you decry the censorship of the MSM, then you attempt to censor those you disagree with. BTW, this is FreeRepublic where you can say what you will.

We’ll soon have BrainDead Joe demanding that all Alabama surrender to his fascist army of commies.
