We're still in the woods, without a map, or cooperative agreement on what direction to go from here. It's just a slow burning chaos now.

Hearing from the Fringes
Reading the remarks of the dueling fringe representatives here, it's quite apparent that neither actually listens enough to
the opposing networks to really assess their coverage.
Being something of a news junkie and constantly bouncing from CNN, MSNBC, Fox along with some of the lesser known news channels at home and on the
road, I've found that the first three cover all of the issues and incidents on a regular basis. The difference among the various "opinionators" being
the emphasis they express concerning political viewpoint.
The claim by either side that one or more ignore ANY story due to its political implications is nonsense.

Well, I'm a bit confused why some networks refuse to cover the continuously declining case fatality rates and virus growth in the states and countries
that are doing the best, while focusing on those that are doing poorly.
I am far more interested in treatments or policies that actually work well than accusations against those that are temporarily backsliding.

Covid is a political topic. It shouldn't be, but it 100% is.
It was used to impact an election. And now it is being used to control a population.

Our biggest problem here is all non-emergency but life saving operations like operable cancers,etc have been drastically curtailed (causing even more
deaths) while the exact opposite should be happening, as it has been in Sweden. They actually expanded their available hospital beds and ICU's and now
have among the lowest ongoing case fatality rates from the virus globally. We are shutting ours down because of Covid lockdowns.

Covid isn't going away. We should be talking a lot more about treatments that are coming. The government should be driving them. And promoting
them.
Instead of trying to blame Covid on the unvaxxed. Which isn't even true.

I heard today that at home Covid tests in Europe are 1 Euro. And in the US they are $20. Not sure if that is 100% fact.
But if it is, it would be a good thing for the govt. to push to lower them in the US.
My youngest was sick this week and I put off going with him to get an Xmas tree worrying he might have Covid.
Cheap tests are a very good thing.

Has anyone else noticed that in the past 2 years we now have created over a hundred...perhaps far more...variations of this one original virus despite
repetitive "vaccinations", massive lock downs, closing of health care facilities, cancellations of urgent life saving operations, rapidly rising debt
and deletion of multitudes of jobs? I don't see any end to this cycle, do you?

Australia has lost their F'ing minds.
That country is a very cautionary tale.

RFClark: It does seem like a natural endpoint to physically segregate the increasingly adamant 85% that maintain everyone must be jabbed whether they
agree or not from the 15% that are unwilling to be a part of this great experiment to wipe out viruses.
So who pays for these segregated camps?
It all seemed so believable back when we were told it would only take 70% to achieve immunity, we are well above that now locally (over 90%) and the
deaths of those over 80 attributed to Covid are accelerating.

Thought it might be interesting to see what one large country has spent on this battle so far.
https://www.usaspending.gov/disaster/covid-19?publicLaw=all
Mexico's President meanwhile makes this unprecedented request to the rest of the world including the US to save uncounted lives living in poverty:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/11/10/mexico-amlo-...
And here is the ongoing response from the man who used to be the wealthiest Capitalist in the world, before he began giving it away, his latest
statement being he was far better at directing his wealth than the government would be if they chose to take it away from him:

Australia started life as a penal colony! They have simply gone back to their roots! Other countries like New Zealand and Canada have no such excuse,
nor does the US!
Who pays for it? If a majority who die are consumers of government services then government has lots of resources it can direct elsewhere! Then there
is the distribution of the assets of the deceased!

You spend a lot of time criticizing Australian policies, without being cognizant of the FACT that most Australians are happy with their policies, and
happy their family members did not die like so many needlessly died in USA.
It is only when the mirror has not spoken to Chimpanzee in a plain language that it thinks it looks more better than the Gorilla.
Woke!
