At the Idaho Capitol Building, in Boise, Idaho In what can only be described as delicious irony, the legislature of the state of Idaho is shutting down at least until April 6th because of a Covid outbreak. https://apnews.com/a...4f884e752317d8c Irony so sweet, it’s giving me a toothache!Meanwhile, blue state death rates continue to give others heartache. https://www.statista...es-us-by-state/I dunno, of the top 17 which is 1/3 of the 50 states and Puerto Rico, I believe 9 are red states.8 of the 10 states/territories with the lowest rates of death are also blue states. "Tell your statistics to shut up".Joe Schulz to Jim Bouton, 1969 I don't give a rat's ass about what a state's stupid "color" is.I care about dysfunctional, irresponsible parents passing their dysfunction onto their children and putting their health at risk, all because of their juvenile partisan agendas. I agree with this completely. All the available evidence shows that for young children, the risk of Covid is significantly lower than the risk of the normal flu (in the range of 1-3 times less dangerous depending on the age). Yet you have parents who are teaching their kids hysterical fear in the face of what, to the kids, is essentially a non-factor. Parents, and society as a whole, have a responsibility to protect children physically and emotionally. What we’ve seen is that partisan stupidity, anti-science beliefs, and irrational fear have caused many to sacrifice children’s psychological, intellectual, and physical development by closing schools, wrapping their kids up like they’re in a The Stand, and some even physically distancing themselves from their own kids if the kids have had exposure to the virus. What some have decided to do is just a form of child abuse. That isn’t to say the children don’t need to take any precautions: when I came back to the states to visit my parents for Christmas the kids masked up and socially distanced. Even though young children are significantly less likely to either contract or to pass on the virus than teens or adults, we planned to stay with my elderly parents and there was no need to put them at additional risk (the virus is significantly more dangerous than the flu for their age group). But there is a big difference between teaching kids to take some precautions in certain circumstances where they could increase the risk to others and the insanity which has gripped many in the US for the last year. 3

I've been found out! Actually, there are a few but only one stalker, as far as I know. Maybe two, but you're just smarter and better at it? :huh: Edited April 1, 2021 by Fordgalaxy 1

What will happen if a stronger strain of polio appears in the future? Will these parents again teach their children to ignore the medical experts, just because _________ is President? I live in the Inland area of California so I know color doesn't mean jack here. There was some anti mask rally near me at the outdoor Victoria Gardens in Cucamonga a year ago and let's not forget Huntington Beach. Hoping my cousin is safe because she just moved there from Laguna. She grew up near Huntington in Fountain Valley.

Fordgalaxy Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 We got our stimulus check today, with the key word being "check." Last time it went directly into our account so I'm not sure why they mailed a check this time. But, I know enough to not try and figure out the ways of the government. 2

I’ve never heard the trope that children are not at risk. What I’ve read is the scientific evidence that they are less likely to contract the disease than adults, less likely to pass on the disease than adults, less likely to have bad outcomes from the disease than adults, and that the disease is less dangerous for them than the flu. Even with the new variants, all this seems still to be true with the available evidence. Of course, you should be cautious when the danger is warranted (i.e., the kids may come in contact with high risk people). But many Americans aren’t merely being cautious, they are putting their kids’ mental and physical health at risk based on unscientific fear mongering. 1

invisible airwave Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Stupidity really knows no bounds does it? A few months ago, I saw someone rightfully getting ratioed hard for saying Madonna only had one hit. An actual person, not the typical first name and a bunch of digits IDs a lot of bots have. Idiocracy just keeps getting more and more prophetic with people shouting "THE EARTH IS FLAT AND 2+2=5 AND IF YOU ATTACK ME YOU'RE JUST TRIGGERED AND PART OF THE FASCIST THOUGHT POLICE!" just to be edgy and rebellious when this is what they really are. 2

My nephew is in high school and has Asperger's Syndrome. He lives in Boston, which only recently went back to in-person learning. He's nearly 6 feet tall and probably weighs around 130 lbs or so, which is probably down about 20-25 lbs from last year at this time. His levels of anxiety and depression have skyrocketed. IMO being out of school has been, almost literally, killing him.

She has a rare genetic syndrome and is differently abled in a couple of ways. It's been really hard for her to be away from her classmates and routine. I'm really hoping schools will reopen and be able to stay open. Edited April 8, 2021 by blueschica 1
