First Week of School

[FarmJunkie]

Live wire we are lucky in our industry that we don’t have to wear the stupid things all day. My wife is a teacher and she is struggling to find a mask that provides protection without causing headaches and affecting her vision. These stupid precautions and rules are going to have more consequences than this bullshit distraction we are dealing with.

They don’t know what they are doing just by the hypocrisy of their rules so it just proves they have no clue what to do and are afraid to admit that the best thing is to do nothing other than stay healthy and keep your lifestyle as clean as possible. This things gonna move on whether we like it or not. People are gonna die whether we like it or not.

Going to just move on? Hahahaha ya to the next host.
Not until a vaccine or a cure is workable.

In some ways too bad there couldn’t be like 2 separate areas one for those that don’t give a shit about anyone that would be harmed including their own families and one for others that want things open but use your head and be respectful of those with conditions especially that would be harmed. Everywhere that people act stupidly wreckless cases spike.

Have the Hutterite colonies been completely decimated by COVID-19 or have they come through the situation still intact and functioning?

I get the feeling like anti maskers are starting to run a lot of similar parallels with anti vaxers.

It’s our right to not
No proof they really help
There’s a high (.00000001%*) chance this really bad thing will happen when you use them

Which means next up will be “Masks are loaded with harmful chemicals”

I’m grateful for where I live. I’m not around many people. I can easily avoid people. I don’t have to wear a mask hardly ever. In fact, I went in to Red Deer last week and forgot to even put some in my car. Apparently I’m as good at taking masks as I am at remembering reusable grocery bags.

*This number was just pulled out of my ass to make a point.

My daughter is in grade 10 and her 1st day back went pretty good. No mask wearing at their desks but 1 of the teachers had a nasty dry cough all class long with no mask on. Shouldn’t teachers follow the same guidelines as the students, if your sick stay home?

Since the media felt it their responsibility to report cases at hutterite colonies. ....does the media not owe them the respect of reporting recoveries there as well?

[RTK]

Exactly my point - tell us how they made out. I can only assume most colonies that had a Covid case were simply wiped out.

Pretty sure we didn’t come out the chute and take our first breath with a mask on. Ain’t natural to have that thing on your face all day. Go shovel a bin out with it on and the first thing u wanna do is get it off and breath again.
There are families that have kids with issues and I totally understand them wanting to keep their kids at home to keep them safer but we can’t continue to shut down the way of life we’ve built because there are those that are scared shitless. And not just of this but everything. The sky is falling types. U have to rationally deal with stuff as it happens not just start making up rules by the seat of your ass will a shotgun approach and “hope” it’s gonna work. I totally think we are gonna look back on this and say “ what the hell were we doing or thinking”. Hopefully learn from it because I’m sure there will be a next time and probably legitimately worse.

It was a giant experiment to see how easy it is to shut down a whole economy. Man in general, from time to time has pondered “what if “ scenarios, what if power grid goes down, etc. Now we know That with a flip, the media can cause such mass hysteria, that everyone will lock themselves up, well - almost everyone. Only believe a tenth of a tenth 👀 but keep your eyes and ears open( with a mask😝). Deep down you know there is motive to madness.

OMG IT'S TRUE!!! Carbon does kill!
