Christmas should be cancelled

So in Paris someone is saying Christmas should be cancelled.
news.trust.org...
I thought about that and I am amazed at what people will give up in the name of Secular Covid worship or what people will do to deny people some limited happiness in a world full of ugliness.

Look what we gave up in America. We had an election where everyone was given a ballot to mail in. Then you could go pick up a physical ballot or 5 and mail those in too. Then you could stand in line and vote again!

What type of risk should we should be taking to preserve the Republic? Personally, I think mail in ballots should only be reserved for the Military. Am I wrong in thinking "Covid be dammed, voting should be done in person?"

This is why I think Covid was a scam or done on purpose for this very reason. To get America back into the Globalist fold.

Am I wrong in thinking that the Democrats could be so diabolical? Or do we think Covid was just a coincidence?

You cannot cancel the Birthday of Christ.(even tho it's not the real date)

I thought we had decided ------mas was racist, bigoted, sexist, and possibly even homophobic?

Careful, the world may just say "Hold my beer" and prove otherwise. Now don't go arguing semantics, yes it will always be 12/25, but many places may prevent it from being celebrated in the ways it's always been. I really hope not, though, I'm not religious and I despise xmas music everywhere, but I do enjoy the holiday and how it brings joy to many, especially kids.

Why not? Many states have draconian restrictions on worship right now.

What pandemic?

I've been voting by mail for 12 years now here in FL. And I've been registered Republican and voted R for most offices in all elections within those 12 years. We've never had any issues in that time (forget hanging chads in 2000) and have consistently elected Republicans to most national offices including this election. There's no issues with voting by mail, at least here in FL. The problem you have is with who most people are voting for by mail. The President told his supporters to vote in person, so they did. Most everyone else, but not all, voted by mail. That's just the way it broke down. Not to say that there's some other form of fraud out there somewhere, there usually is. But I don't know if there's enough to overturn the election.

I am starting to think it's all part of the same plan.

Make people so miserable that they would take almost any "deal" just to get things back to some kind of normal.

OK.

Just to be fair, Halloween should be cancelled as well.

My 6 year old nephew lives in London and watched the Boris Johnson speech about how Christmas will not be the same and how everything is on lock down. His grandfather (my side) died last year and not he can’t come see his grandma who lives alone. The little chap broke down in tears and was as sad as a tough little boy could be

I want to kick boris johnson in his marbles repeatedly until his apologies to my little man.

The problem we have is with states spamming mail-in ballots at people who did not request them.

You may have been voting by mail, but I'd bet you also requested your ballot too. We're talking about states who sent out mass mailings of ballots to people who did not ask for them.

All manner of weirdness happened around that. A Republican committee member in PA went to vote, and they told him he should have received his ballot in the mail. He told them he didn't request absentee. They told him everyone in his county had their ballots mailed to them. He told them he never received one. So they made him fill out a provisional ballot there and just chucked it in a box with no guarantee it would ever be counted.

I truly despise the people enforcing this lunacy upon our world. That the US would vote for more fear and despair seems very hard to believe...

We did that too.

Headline is about random Paris nonsense, but seems real meet of thread is democrats are diabolical, how many French provinces do democrats run?

They're working hard to take away Thanksgiving. I know my extended family isn't having it this year. We're over a year now since we've all gotten together.

My son is crushed that he's not seeing his cousins ... again.

Sure we'll have a turkey here in the home. We always do, but we won't have family.

I'm not one for defending Islam but nobody gave a toss when the lockdowns covered Eid.

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy whichever side of a debate you are on.

I am sure the Muslims did.

And I am sure the Muslims don't really care Christmas may be cancelled.

So?

Why would anyone want to cancel an overly consumerized holiday stolen from pagans who had much more fun with that date?

That was early on. No one was upset over the cancellation of Easter events back then either. However, now we're moving out into the realm where most of us are getting plenty tired of the scare tactics.

Let's be plain. The press has been scaring over skyrocketing cases for two or three months now. They don't report on deaths or hospitalizations. Why? You should ask yourself that. That doesn't mean people aren't getting sick from COVID or even that some aren't dying from it, but if the hospitalizations and deaths were going to spike in proportion to the case numbers, it would be happening by now. There would be reporters outside of overwhelmed hospitals, filming stacks of coffins.

That's not happening. Why? Because while there are more cases being uncovered, there aren't more people getting hospitalized and dying at the same time. Those numbers are holding relatively steady.

Another thing to note is that the PCR test they use has been in many cases cranked up too sensitive. A PCR test is simply designed to uncover the presence of viral RNA. It can't tell you if you have an active disease process or not. Fauci admitted this back in July.

Joining the hosts of This Week in Virology in July, Fauci directly responded to a question about COVID-19 testing, specifically how patients with positive tests might determine whether or not they are actually infectious and need to quarantine.

“What is now sort of evolving into a bit of a standard,” Fauci said, is that “if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more … the chances of it being replication-confident are minuscule.”

“It’s very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians,” he continued, when “somebody comes in, and they repeat their PCR, and it’s like [a] 37 cycle threshold, but you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle.”

So, I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you got to say, you know, it’s just dead nucleotides, period.”

If they run the PCR test beyond 35 cycles, they are uncovering viral fragments that aren't indicative of active disease. So that person isn't actually sick, nor can they infect others. So why are so many people being tested at so many cycles?

It does create a case surge, and it creates a problem that can be wiped out virtually overnight if the testing guidance is suddenly changed too. Instead of issuing PCR guidance that directs tests be run for 35+ cycles, you simply tell people to only run the test for 30+ cycles. Suddenly, the presence of viral cases rapidly drops! OMG! COVID is gone ...
