Telling me I can't go to a movie or restaurant,  get my hair cut or even work for a living is "directing my life".     I could care less about an order to wear a mask,  when it is the key to getting the damn state's knee off my neck.
But it doesn't. It just puts their tag on your collar.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

We all know the Left is never satisfied with their own life.
Their goal is always about directing YOUR life, how your live, what you can think.
The mask is an insertion, a disruption, of your life.
This is what the American Left lives for.

Mr. M was in a McDonald's yesterday and overheard a group of older folks talking. One fellow recounted how he, his wife and another couple went together for their Covid tests, for which they, apparently, had appointments. He said they ended up waiting four hours before being tested. He didn't mention what time of day that finally occured, but you have to figure it was afternoon, at least.

The very next day, he received via U.S. Mail a letter advising that he tested positive. So did the others. Gee, that was quick. Both the labs and the U.S. Mail have become extraordinarily efficient in these uncertain times!

Of course, the fact that he "tested positive" and was sitting in a McDonald's may indicate he didn't believe it any more than I do (unless he experienced a miraculously quick recovery)!  :laugh:

Friend of mine went in for a COVID test.  They ended up walking out since it was taking so long and never got tested.  The next day they received a letter indicating they tested positive....lololol.

Even though I haven't been tested and have not contacted anyone about even the possibility of being tested, I'm still waiting for my positive test results to come any day now!  :pondering:

That is scary.  Either they are so corrupt they are padding their case load, or someone DIDN"T get their test result.

My health insurance carrier has informed me that they are sending me some kind of test kit in the mail. I hope they don't mind waiting for me to return it. Might be awhile.

Yep. Read an article recently where the nurses in a hospital became suspicious, because every swab they sent in for testing came back positive. How can this be?

So they started sending in swabs which were brand new never used, straight out of the box.
First they sent in half a dozen, all came back positive.
Then they sent in a couple of dozen sterile swabs just to see?
They all came back positive. Nobody really knows what the truth is.
If you want to crash America, which Leftists certainly do, then you want to keep the COVID thing going until the next election. After the election, if Democrats win, COVID will disappear in one day. Just like it never happened.

All the COVID numbers are fake. They want to hurt Trump in any way they can, no matter what. Even if it means killing themselves in the process. Liberals are new Kamikazi. They are the new Al Quaeda.

They are willing to sacrifice themselves and their own children, if it could possibly hurt Trump somehow. That's how fanatical they have become.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

What's the difference.
COVID is so political these days if they say you are positive how can you know it's true?
I had Colonoscopy recently with some 'hack' doctor. Took him 4 weeks to give me the results.
And the results were stupid. He tried to convince me that I have hemorrhoids.
But I don't have hemorrhoids? I think I would know.

I think I would know if I have hemorrhoids. He mixed my exam up with someone else.
The point is, if you have COVID you will more than likely know it, with or without any fake 'test'.
And even if you really do have it, you have a less than 1% chance of needing hospital care.

You could take the test kit outside, set it afire, dig a hole and bury the ashes in the back yard - and you'll still get a letter in a few days informing you of your test results (positive, of course).

My biggest fear is a false positive that will cost my family not only my paycheck until I can get a negative test, but quite possibly a small fortune for medical care I don't need.

And then there's that.  As a contractor, I would be screwed out of at least 4 weeks of pay with a positive result.
