Some of y’all really got to get outside more. For real.

You answer with swearing and a rant....classy.

No one wants sick people, no on wants anyone to die. But, there is this piece of paper called the Constitution that was written by a few guys a few years ago. It says that most everything the govt has done is illegal.

most of the stuff the govt has done so far has tried to help folks that are not smart enough to help themselves.

I'm glad to see we have so many Constitutional scholars in here

Again, that is not the point. No one, including government, gets to decide that freedoms should be taken away because doing so seems like a good idea at the time. It's the same notion as DWI checkpoints. Might catching more drunk drivers save lives? Maybe, but there's this thing called the Fourth Amendment that says the police need to have probable cause to search or seize you or your property. They don't have probable cause to stop every vehicle to see if they can find some law breakers.

If you care to educate yourself of the Texas Supreme Court's take on current state and federal law regarding the issue.

Really?

How does it differ from other years? Where are the piles of bodies that this is causing, above and beyond the normal baseline for mortality? What are the odds of getting the disease? What are the odds of recovering vs dying? What about iatrogenic deaths?

Seemed to touch a nerve there for a few folks. Hopefully it got some of you to think about this a little. Probably not.

A little cut and paste for you: https://www.morozkoforge.com/post/the-curve-is-already-flat
We have been too busy shaming our neighbors for getting fresh air and hoarding toilet paper to consider that we are being driven by fear, not fact and that it has shut down our ability to recognize inconsistencies and look for answers. Instead, we call anyone who questions the “sky is falling” narrative selfish, stupid, and irresponsible because aligning with the prevailing moral outrage renders us impervious to criticism.

As I have said elsewhere, There exists information above and beyond click-bait that exists solely for creating traffic. Look around if you want to get into the history of this sort of thing and the quality of data that is cherry-picked compared to what happens in epidemics.

Honestly, by my research and my (humble) opinion, what we have done to ourselves with our reaction is:
1) EXTENDING the problem and GUARANTEEING a second wave and
2) Destroying our society and economy

I am not going to comment on this stuff further. So, the questions up there can be for your own pleasure/entertainment/whatever. Ya'll can have the last word.

Now, back to fishing.

Interesting read...Thanks

On the bright side,,,,, at least fewer Tx bass will see the grease, with the Cajun lockout....

You make some interesting points!

There is no Cajun lockout you can cross line to go fishing.

This is the site I watch. It does not have opinions, just data. Some of it is pretty staggering.

The one that catches my attention the most is the outcome of survival vs death rate. Currently, the death rate is 1 in 5. Those are tough odds.

The recovery rate will catch up soon. Its just timing.

People fail realize that u can still cross the bridge to fish. They are allowing that
