Why do I feel like Biden is going to lose?

Sometimes you just have to appreciate them for the work they do. I like music and movies and 90% of the people that do that stuff have opinions that are probably against mine.
The more Trump spoke the more bizarre he got. You wanted him to trot out there without a safety?
Did you try the black light or aerosol spray?
Many of you are flat out looney tunes when it comes to COVID. You think because your people didn't die that it was overblown. Your argument, of course, it those more susceptible should've just stayed home. Meanwhile, hospitals were packed.
I do believe some areas overreacted, but those were more densely populated areas. Flat out, Indiana handled COVID extremely well. Everything was based on hospitalization, not cases, and it was clear, even after that was set in motion, mid-May, opening up society fully, at least Indiana, wasn't ready to happen yet.
And before you and yours go down the talking points of insults about masks and freedoms, I only wore my mask when asked to do so -- required by businesses and medical facilities, or when people asked me. It was just a sign of respect for others. Being an Anti-warrior wasn't the looney tune hill I was going to plant my flag.
BTW...watching people throw fits about having to wear a mask was one of the more entertaining things in a week, given the few entertainment options. Having a guy in a grocery try to shame me for social distancing was even more entertainment.
He didn’t have to trot out at all. Fauci wasn’t elected. He should have met with fauci in private then spoke with recognition for broader concerns. The draconian absurdity depending upon where you lived and the media ran with it. Pritzker shutting down Illinois over libs in Chicago was absurd for southern Illinois.
Do you have kids? It was a hell of a burden. And as for hospitals they too were used as a scare tactic. The hospital is overwhelmed. What they don’t tell you is icu units run at 85 percent cap to begin with. That’s how they remain profitable. So 4 Covid patients in a city of 250,000 equals “overwhelmed” and contributes to hysteria that gave rise to biz and school closings. Covid became lib virtue signaling at its finest
And they must treat their employees well, I swear they have the best service, no matter how crowded they are everyone is so nice and polite.
So you wanted Trump to act differently than other Presidents when emergencies happened?
If he was listening to Fauci and not letting him speak, you'd be blaming Fauci for that too. You're a blame guy, I get it.
I was in a relationship with two kids, and her son spent part of the time with me even she wasn't around because I could get into a gym. Keeping him focused for his Zoom time was a chore.
My neighbors' kids played outside.
City hospital ICUs run at an 85% cap, perhaps, but of late you've been bad with numbers. I'll go with it.
I'm dating an exec from Community (hospital group in Indiana), she said COVID was bat shit crazy. They used a different part of the hospital for non-COVID emergencies. St. V was over run, and they're in the suburbs. They also used a different part of the hospital for non-COVID emergencies.
Carmel St. V doesn't operate at 85%. They were full, rejecting non-life threatening injuries.
I can't speak for other states, but Indiana's actions were all based on hospitalizations. It was as well as could be expected, barring those whose opinions don't care about other people's lives.
I have posted about this extensively back when it transpired involving both rural hospitals and Washington u hospital. Stats for those at risk etc. blame there are agencies with enormous budgets dedicated to this stuff. Our handling was botched from the genesis. NYT did an entire piece on same. I have zero interest in doing it again and certainly not with you.

Dems kept Covid hysteria going. Words matter. Quit bending yourself into a pretzel to support Biden. Wake up

You don’t have an objective perspective. He’s a Stanford classicist, famed military historian, and farmer. What are you? A sponge of progressive bullshit?
Not really. Quit talking about it around June of 2021 when college coaches could come back out. It's 2023. You're still talking about it, blaming a guy who wasn't even holding a government office when it emerged.

Opinion: Democrats' support for school closings comes back to bite
Mary Katharine Ham writes the high academic and social costs of remote learning and closed schools are now indisputable, but there is also a political cost -- one that Democrats have already paid in several recent elections and may just pay again this November.

We aren’t talking about it when it emerged. We are talking about excessive Covid lockdowns. In keeping with Dem virtue signaling progressive bs
No one said keeping kids out of school was good for kids in school. It was good for keeping them from spreading COVID to each other, to family members and to other members of the community.Opinion: Democrats' support for school closings comes back to bite

Did you ever bother to look at the stats of hospitalizations by age groups during the salient period? Of course not. The risk was negligible. But you were busy subscribing to the false blm narratives, pushing masks, just relishing in all the vapid virtue signaling totems. So Fing dumb.
People are finally done with the stupidity.
OK, sparky.
Which media am I brainwashed by? Says the guy passing opinion pieces from CNN.
Everything that comes out of your mouth is regurgitated talking points from left wing progressive bs. You don’t have the education, experience or knowledge to think on your own
Covid.
Crime.
Pick a topic and I can write exactly what you will think
In real time, yes. Every week because I own a business and had a second business that relied heavily on having the world opened back up.
You almost made it a week without referring to BLM and masks. So close!
Masks as virtue signaling is such a moronic brainwashed take.
Then you’d know the stats involving kids, the risk was a joke, and unless you were old as hell not worth the hysteria.
As did I. I was working with Schutt at the time. Horrible impact on high school football
Libs were shutting down outdoor sports. Outdoor. Totally ridiculous. The risk was a joke. Completely unnecessary. Destroyed businesses. Set kids back. Peoples’ livelihoods.

Don't forget playgrounds. Chicago had its playgrounds boarded up through the summer of 2020.
I remember they were trying to get masks for outdoor soccer 🤣🤣. And they wore them. So stupid
I would tie this to Biden and the Democrats. This is the type of stuff that loses elections.
“Your jumper will always be weak, stay out of the parks” Lori Lightfoot said glibly.
The cult ****ing with kids again. But maga. BwahahahaBloomington....November 2020...

January of 2022 they issue a mandatory vaccination requirement...
We haven't been back. Daughter still communicates with her cabin mates there.
| Dear Families, Happy New Year! We are writing to share an important Covid-related policy update. For Summer 2022, we will, at a minimum, require all campers and staff to be “fully vaccinated” against Covid-19, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”). The CDC’s currently defines “fully vaccinated” as follows: To be considered “fully vaccinated,” anyone 5 years and older must have received a primary series of a COVID-19 vaccine For children 5 years through 17 years of age, a primary series consists of 2 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. For persons 18 and older, a primary series consists of a 2-dose series of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or of a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine (Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine). *Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (COVID-19 mRNA vaccines) are preferred. The situation continues to evolve, and we may strengthen our requirements as summer nears, but vaccination will definitely be required, and we wanted you to know that. Maintaining the health of our entire community is at the core of what we do, and we believe that requiring vaccination will enable us to run with minimal restrictions. Please feel free to reach out about this or anything else. Katy & Paul Directors katy@berkshiresocceracademy.com paul@berkshiresocceracademy.com 800-326-9219 |
The back and forth below from me to the camp (start at the bottom)...
Yeah, unfortunate, but obviously know the decision making is difficult considering the changing climate and the added liability concerns you guys have as camp operators.
We’ll have to opt out this year, unfortunately. Do I need to go one the portal to do that, of is it something you do for us?

We have made the very difficult decision to not grant any exceptions, religious, medical or otherwise, to our vaccination requirement. We feel that our entire community must be vaccinated to insure the health and safety of all campers and staff. Like many difficult decisions, this has painful and seemingly unfair consequences to some. We wish it could be different but at this point this is what we feel we must do for our community.
As we have over the past 3 years, we will continue to update our Covid policies as things evolve.
You have until April 1 to cancel and receive a full refund. Again I am sorry that XXXXX may need to miss out this summer.
Thanks for your understanding.

I guess what I’m asking is would a positive antibody test for/from XXXXXX, within 90 days of camp (of course), be considered acceptable?

Hey Matt,
Thanks for forwarding this guidance along.
These new NCAA’s guidelines are actually more stringent than our current guidelines in that they require those who are beyond the vaccination time limits (5 mos for Moderna; 6 for Pfizer, etc.) to be boosted, which, at this point, we are not requiring.
The NCAA guidelines go on to say that “A person who has a documented Covid infection within the past 90 days is considered fully vaccinated.” Based on the information you’ve shared, I don’t believe XXXXX would meet this classification as she has yet to have a documented Covid infection, and, even if she had had such an infection, her infection would not be within 90 days of the start of camp.
So, the new NCAA guidelines would not change our approach.
Thanks again for pointing them out.

Disappointed for XXXXXX given the below new requirements.
Was any consideration given to follow the newly released NCAA regulations that consider “verified immunity” tests evidence of “vaccination”?
https://www.ncaa.com/news/ncaa/arti...eases-updated-covid-19-guidance-winter-sports
Prior to her eligibility for the vaccine (she’s 11) we started testing XXXXXX for exposure and immunity. Although she has never been sick enough to notch a positive test, her verified immunity has been at levels where we felt vaccination, for her, was an unnecessary risk given the unknowns.
We’re obviously not taking her Covid risk frivolously, given our monitoring of her for the past year. She’s clearly been “exposed/in contact” numerous times given her immunity numbers, but has been asymptomatic.
She obviously loves Berky, and has spent the Fall recruiting teammates to join her next Summer. She’ll be crushed if she is no longer welcome.
In lieu of vaccination, would Berky consider a verified antibody test, dated within 90 days of camp, which is consistent with the NCAA regulations, as evidence of safety?
So long story short, you are now punishing your kids for your crazy conspiracy theories.My daughter used to go to this place. Out in the Berkshires of Western Mass. Had ex-USWNT players helping and coaching. Cool place.

i do not. i knew joe kelley the old iu women's coach. the men's camps at iu are one of the biggest camps in the midwest. i assume the girls' side is the same? kids growing up for school affiliated camps went to iu in the midwest or duke on the coast. duke's camps are phenomenal. how old is your daughter?
