It is not gonna last. In a few weeks, the hospitals will be running
out of ventillators and they will refridgerating bodies in delivery
trucks. Covid does not give a fuck about politics.
This is not going to take long at all. I just came from the stores and they
are not waiting until the 10th. The use of masks has probably already
dropped to 20%; and all these fucks are going around without their masks

Let them niggas suffer on their own and give no federal aid when shit goes awry and spirals outta control.
Let who suffer, fam? Me and my kids? Me and my family? What about members and other folks from Houston? And other members on this board from Texas? You want us all to suffer?

I'm sorry but that's a fucked up way of thinking... there's gonna be a lot of people that are still living life safely here in Texas that will likely become casualties because of dumbssses here that are so eager to take off their mask and get back to "normal" and that didn't vote for Ironsides... why do all of us have to suffer?

This is why I don't mind people having their social media scanned to find their hypocrisy. Anyone that is gung ho on opening, they should not be able to receive any hospital care. Anti-mask, no hospital care. We have to stop saving shitty people from their planned demise.

I live in GA, and got nervous when I saw this was happening in Texas. I just know Kemp is on some "hold my beer" shit. Seems like they're betting it all on some Herd Immunity bullshit.

GA's daily New Case numbers had been dropping for the last few months, but our over all number 820K+ is more than some nations. We're almost as much as Canada at 870K. My county alone almost has many cases as China. A country with over a billion people.

I already expected a rise with Spring break just around the corner, but if they do this....this shit is crazy.

I should have prefaced it by saying that I wasn't attacking you personally, so for that I apologize...

Smoke free zone over here bruh, you good people in my book...
:thumbsup:

Keith Olbermann said some slick shit on Twitter about this and got lit up.... I think he asked why waste vaccines on Texas if they're doing this... on the outset the mentality is FUCK EM.. and I get it.... but then you sit back and think there's MILLIONS of people that didn't vote (R) and are adamantly against this mandate being lifted... those people sitting here left to suffer because of his carelessness... it's frustrating... my grandmother 94 years old I can't go see her... I lost family to COVID-19... had several family members that had it.... friends that had it... one still has pneumonia like characteristics in his lungs and he had it more than a year ago... this shit is REAL to me, so this dumb fuck opening up shit full bore makes me want to wheel his ass off a cliff Mac and Me style

I could be wrong but I think I read that herd immunity only sets in when 70% (or more) of the population has either had COVID-19 and recovered from it, or they've been vaccinated... those 2 numbers added together have to equal 70% of the population

So you're looking at 70% of roughly 331 million people... 231 million people need to contract and recover from COVID-19 or they need to be vaccinated.

We currently have 29 million cases in the US.
27 million people fully vaccinated as of 3/1/21.
518k deaths in the US as of 3/1/21.

If we really think herd immunity is the way to go there will be MILLIONS of deaths in the US. I don't feel like doing the math but y'all can get the picture.

Wait a minute now check this out.you mean to tell that the total US population is about 330 Million people.So covid 19 deaths was around 518,000 within a year of the pandemic out of 330 million people total.You playing bruh....seriously.This is not a dire pandemic and need to quit lying to people.If what you are saying true.Thats not even one percent of the population.This is a damn joke,but the only thing is im not laughning.

Bruh you not catching on to what im saying.If it took a year for 500,000 people out of 330,000,000 million people to die of COVID19.Then thats not a pandemic.That about almost an average death rate a year we would normally have if we didnt have COVID19.You mean to tell me the goal is to vaccinate almost 330,000 000 million people.You are talking about vaccinating people who are not even sick that dont have any symptoms.You are talking about vaccinating all asymptomatic people.This is not a pandemic this is an agenda.Because it doesnt scientifically take all of that and you seem to be supporting this non sense and getting mad at other people for refusing to take part in this non sense.

But keep in mind this stat...

In 2018-2019 there were about 35 million flu cases, 34k deaths.. that's 0.097% of deaths to cases

Covid in one year had 29 million cases and 518k deaths... 1.78% of deaths to cases.

Makes covid 18x more deadly than the flu... numbers might seem small and insignificant to you, but this is human life we're talking about here.

not enough for you to be talking about vaccinating a quater of a billion people.There is no scientific justification for that

Ok my guy...
Then you are not even taking into account that vaccines do have serious severe allergic reactions and side effects and thats nothing to sneeze at.You are aware that these severe allergic reactions and side effects can potentially damage internal body organs right.?Then you have the nerve to think you just go vaccinate all 330 million people in order to achieve herd immunity without no complications.You alking about thousands upon thousands of people potentially dying way more than Covid19,way more than 500k.Dude you no even thinking.You just going by what you hear on TV.

Your reading skills and comprehension is questionable...

I never said vaccinate the entire population, I said that you needed a combination of contractions/recoveries and vaccinations totaling 70% of the US population to attain herd immunity.



Let's stop the bullshit. Yes or no answer, are you OK with a million human lives lost? Also consider that more than likely those deaths will disproportionately impact POC.

Are you OK with that? Yes or no?
