NeuroTypical Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yep. Good government = all the big liberty-impacting decisions like this are on the state/county/local level, not the federal level. Carborendum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Juan County is out in the middle of nowhere, Colorado. It's sole purpose seems to be to be the filler between more interesting bits of Colorado. Population of the entire county is around seven hundred, making it less populated than a single neighborhood in a city. I have an image in my mind of the entire government going over to one guy's house to watch the news on his newfangled skinny tee-vee, and then coming up with this plan 3 beers into arguing about how to placate crazy old lady Willimena, who's been coming to town armed since covid hit the news. That image replaced my anxiety-producing initial image of the beginning of the downfall of our civilization as we devolve into walled cities run by ruthless men who shoot strangers.

It's sole purpose seems to be to be the filler between more interesting bits of Colorado. I wouldn't say it isn't interesting. Silverton and Ouray (the next town to the north) are probably the two most interesting (and beautiful) towns in Colorado. Silverton is the redneck version of Aspen or Vail. Instead filled with yuppies, it's filled with rednecks, but the town has its charm. It has a harsh climate though. It is one of the few towns in the lower 48 to be classified as having a sub-arctic climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Is that the vid where a bunch of people claimed there weren't any bats at the Wuhan wet market, but there were bats in the Wuhan infectious disease clinic right up the road? My wife argued about that for a full 40 minutes before we decided we didn't really have much to argue about, other than how relevant various facts were.

Musk got tired of driving in rush hour traffic once so he said to his engineers, a tunnel superhighway would be nice... so the engineers started digging a hole. When asked what they were doing, they said... well, if we want to see if a tunnel superhighway is feasible we first have to dig a hole.

Wash our hands, avoid crowded places and eat healthy and we will be good. Also I would highly recommend researching MSM. I read a book about it back in 1999 and it seems to have greatly boosted my immune system. It actually helps the body to get rid of toxins..... but a boosted immune system is one major positive side effect. Hint... drink extra water when you begin to take it though because as toxins come out drinking water assists the body to get rid of them in the easiest way possible.... urination. Just google the title... "The Miracle of MSM" by Stanley Jacobs M. D. for more information on it. It is technically a food supplement and it is plant based, (often from the bark of trees). http://www.msm-info.com/#Cell Membrane Quote Cell Membrane Permeability All cells (and all organelles within cells) are surrounded by membranes. A membrane consists of two layers of molecules situated opposite of one another and consisting of an essential fatty acid on one end, and a sulfur containing amino acid on the other end. The amino acids are interconnected in such a manner that they form a surface into which the proteins and other membrane constituents are inserted and secured. These proteins are necessary for the transport through the cell membrane of many types of nutrients and waste materials. Sulfur bridges form flexible connections between the cells and the surrounding connective tissues. This allows the cells to retain their elasticity. When sulfur is in short supply, the cell wall hardens, and the cells lose their elasticity. The transport proteins of the membrane become locked, and the membranes become less permeable. This results in a reduced transport of oxygen and nutrients into the cells as well as reduced excretion of waste products from within the cells. This causes a shortage of oxygen and nutrients, and an accumulation of toxic metabolic waste products inside the cells. Reduced vitality and eventually degenerative diseases are the result.

So I gritted my teeth and read through all of my responses to this thread, ready and even willing to own up to my own vast ignorance. The result? Nope. No apologies. I'll stand behind everything I've written here, except for the obviously wrong stuff that I already called out (and that didn't have anything to do with COVID-19, e.g. telling NT that his graph wasn't a log graph). I continue to think our overall national reaction has been an overreaction, but like the Dreaded 1999 Y2K Bug That Will Destroy Civilization, perhaps overreaction and overpreparing will work in our favor in this case.
