Who will soon be going to a live concert?

I'm finally seeing and hearing Mary Gauthier live next Friday, at Doug Fir Lounge in Portland. May as well hit Music Millennium while I'm in the neighborhood, pick up some new releases.

+1 bdp24.  I lived in Portland and the Doug Fir is a special place.  Enjoy!

It’s not a pandemic of the unvaccinated, that is what you are told. Look at the numbers in Israel where almost 90% are vaccinated. Look at our numbers from a year ago when no one was vaccinated and compare them to now when almost 60% have the jab. Vaccinated people continue to spread the virus.

From the beginning we should have taken care of the elderly and compromised, promoted treatments instead of vaccines and encouraged a healthy lifestyle. But that never happened. Why? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.


The problem I have is that we have been, and continue to be, lied to by the CDC, MSM, and our own government.

So I’ll leave you guys at it to believe what you believe. See how that works? I don’t care if you get the jab or wear a mask (or two) for the rest of your life. I’m not going to force you to do anything and I’d appreciate the same in return.

Too much common sense.

You will love this one. Actual conversation at work last week:

Frightened co-worker: Did you hear about the outbreak at the other clinic? 85% tested positive!
Me: With no symptoms.
Her: Yes! It’s terrifying!
Me: That they have no symptoms.    
Her: Yes! It’s terrifying!!!!!

The first and most essential step is to make people unable to believe the truth of their own eyes.

We went to a small local venue last night to hear Marc Broussard and his band.

@whart ,
Did he perform ’Home’?
That is one righteous song!

As opposed to infection rate what's probably most relevant is the death rate due to Covid compared to that of say the common flu.  The death rate due to Covid is between 200-300 people per 100,000 population (it varies state to state a bit).  The death rate due to flu most years (like 2019) is about 1.8 people per 100,000 population.  So the question really becomes what death rate is acceptable to remove all the covid policies?  Below 100 per 100,000?  50?  I don't know but at some point it's just a policy decision where we decide can just live with the rate and that the cost of restricting lives is now outweighing the incremental benefit of the policies.  We all take risks just being alive every day.
