(Shhh, I was trying to throw the CEHST folk off our trail.  Don't want them knowing I have a man crush for you.)

 

 

No, but I did quit FB quite some time ago.  Took him over two months to even notice I was gone I think.  Cuts the heart deep, it does...

You do realize he cannot read that.

Also, in the spirit of honest reporting (which is all too rare nowadays), I tried to make an appointment to get tested tonight.  One site that asks questions (but took no personal data) had no appointments available for days.  Several other testing sites have become walk-in only, so appointments (with any contact data) are not even available.  Certainly makes the claims of people making appointments but not going more suspect.  It would be next to impossible for any DOH to contact someone with test results if said DOH didn't have personal data.  I shall deal very harshly with the next person who tells me they know of a "false positive" in my circle of friends.

I have heard of at least three anecdotal stories of people waiting in line for a test and deciding to leave prior to testing due to the wait times (they did provide their information), and then receiving a notice of a positive test result.  I wonder how that happens.

One of the articles I posted describes how it happens.

 

Just read another article today of many people from Delaware that went to a Walgreens testing location, were told they were negative and are actually positive. One of them is now critical. Walgreens read the results to the DoH, but apparently it seems like they were scribbling things down chaotically on paper and not verifying via a paperless system. Patients were told they were negative but their positive result was sent along through the system.

I see what you did there.  ThAt tHeRe WAs OnE oF tHEm appeal to authority FallacY ThINgs, with a little gaslighting grammar action for good measure wernt it

You know I agree with you 95% of the time. Its ok to disagree with people or have them challenge your postion without feeling like your manhood is challenged.

Erick and I rarely see eye to eye sometimes. But then he has some moments of sanity, the heavens align, and we agree.

I don't follow what making fun of this hypocrite joker Fauci has to do with you or why it necessitates the irrelevant personal attack about my manhood. I'd suggest sticking to arguments, or rather, namedropping to avoid defending them. 😉

I had no idea that a person could get water from a smartphone.  What app is that?  (Asking for a friend)

 

That being said, I see no problem with what he is doing, provided that person on his right is a trusted friend whom he knows is virus-free.  Looks like no one is closer than 20 feet, the newly-released WHO proper distance for social activities.  

 

We just sat around a table tonight with friends talking and drinking and no one wore a mask.  I wouldn't do that with strangers in public, obviously.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to you...

He's a medical professional so he possesses an invulnerability to disease us plebs don't and thus isn't subject to the rules he wishes to impose on others. 

 

What this is clearly about for people like Fauci is the spotlight, going all the way back to his little staged facepalm gimmick for the cameras. He never wanted baseball played to begin with, until he was the star. Then his apparent "health" logic is out the window, along with logic about "social distancing" and "masks". It's an exercise of compliance.. for others.

I trust Fauci about as much as I do my ex wife.  He's a doctor about like Trump is a politician.

So telling you I am not attacking your manhood is somehow attacking your manhood?  Labeling it a personal attack. You know I dont do that, but the only time I have ever seen people do what you just did is in setting up the ol reportninsky.

Clearly we have ourselves you taking my disagreements personally. I'm challenging your arguments (refuting with your own sources that things are getting worse, when clearly getting better), and your logic (appeal to authority, emotion), it's called debate. You're attacking my "feelings" and "manhood" (two things you introduced to the discussion, in a different topic from what we were debating, that didn't have anything to do with you), I'm quite comfortable where I stand here. I'm also comfortable in saying I'm open to a mod telling you whether or not I reported this -- I didn't and won't. Settle down, dude.

I do it every day with strangers, swapping pens and papers back and forth. My last couple both worked in Medical practices. Dont really know any way else to do it. 

 

I try to do what is possible when possible.  I do have those coworkers Ithat constantly try to get right up in your grill when talking to you and I constantly start backpedaling.  Then they get offended. 

 

Got one in particular I am always backing away from. He told me, " Well I am guess I am going to have to do business with you in order to get next to you"  I asked bewildered,  Why do you need to get next to me. I think invading ones space as profoundly is a dominance issue

Oh poolease dude. Nobody attacked you or your feelings. I dont take anything personally.  I take more ribbing than anyone here. I am done with bickering and deflection.  Like I said I agree with you 95% of the time and and dont take someone disagreeing with you as an atrack on your manhood. 

Peace out
