Don't worry, Giles. Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean THEY aren't out to get you.

Still waiting for you to grow a pair and explain why it is so great that America shells out $11 million every day to Israel. I know. I know. To even ask such a question is "about the J*ws" and unacceptable.

On a different tack, why is the virus basically over in the rest of the world but supposedly surging in much of America? Are Americans just far more susceptible to viruses? Seems unlikely. Even places like Sweden which implemented far less draconian measures than every state in America.

Daily deaths in Sweden now close to 0 after peaking at over 100.

Sweden did not do the lockdown thing.

That's interesting too. I have a few questions if you don't mind.

Do you know what kind of test it was? (Abbot ID or other rapid test?)

Why did you decide to get tested?

Are you ever near others in enclosed spaces?

Do you still only go out one time a month? If so, why?

If you are still in self quarantine what statistic/mandate/data point etc. will bring you out?

If you are not still in self quarantine what made you decide to get out?

I've answered all your questions before. It's your turn.

Actually, I would think that you would be more appreciative of me. After all, you do realize that I am the only person left on here who even reads your posts. Everyone else recognizes you for what you are and has long since stopped reading your bile.

So, show a little appreciation.

Still waiting. I do not appreciate cowardice.

What did you call someone who smears another because that second person defends the interests of the nation he lives in over those of a foreign nation, one that treats people differently based on race?

A traitor maybe?

Or simply Obvi?

Checking in from Houston. It’s here and it’s real, boys.

Good luck to everyone.

You might want to note that nobody ever responds to any of your posts. That's because nobody even reads them. I'm the only company you have on these boards. Your best friend.

BTW - How is your NAPA County conspiracy theory coming along?

Go away traitor

Answer mine and I’ll answer yours.

This is a myth. There were not as many mandatory restrictions, but spending, and restaurants and time spent outside dropped more in Sweden than many American states. Their GDP is also seeing a similar sized contraction to "lockdown" countries.

Because, despite lax laws, Swedish people actually took this seriously and voluntarily social distanced. Americans are going to indoor rallies, refusing to wear masks indoors, throwing indoor parties, and packing indoor bars.

This is silly. I asked you first. I have always answered your questions. Why are you afraid to answer mine?

Or to put it in local terms, why are you such a Big Marietta Chicken?

So today there is an article in the AJC about a YMCA camp that had an outbreak. Here is what the GA Health Department told the campers to do:

The Georgia Department of Public Health has not said how many people from the camps have the coronavirus, but said this week it is “sorting through the list of positive cases” for contact tracing. Those who test positive will be instructed to isolate at home for 10 days. Others who were in close contact will be told to quarantine at home for 14 days, and get tested if they develop symptoms during that period.

So even people who were possibly exposed are not advised to get tested unless they have symptoms.

PLEASE DO NOT GET TESTED UNLESS YOU HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE COVID-19.

There is a very real testing shortage in Georgia. Leave the testing for those who really need it.

Got it.

Swedes do the right thing. Americans are idiots.

That's the narrative anyway

This clown is worried about having friends on a message board and projects that silliness onto me.

Still waiting for your explanation on why its so great that the American taxpayer shells out $11 million per day to Israel.
