So is it time to let it rip?
Within reason, yes. Keep certain limitations like no 10,000 person concerts, keep some social distancing efforts, etc, but by and large if people have learned anything yet it should be that this thing is going to go through the population. All that March - July/Aug did was delay the inevitable.
Ask around, it's becoming easier and easier to find people that know they had it, describe it as a cold maybe even as a flu, but they stayed at home and didn't seek treatment/testing. I would love to see antibody test numbers......I think it's ripped through alot already.

Almost no one gets rich off of W-2's. Barring some sort of change to a consumption tax (which has its own issues) you will never truly have people paying their fair share because of loopholes that will always be found.

North Dakota has set a new record for active cases every day since September 21.
And yet barely over 100 non nursing home deaths in nearly 7 months.

Who do you think is better at their job - Trump's lawyers/accountants or the IRS?
It doesn't excuse it, it does show a broken system, and maybe Trump is one of the worst examples (maybe not), but if someone thinks that any candidate that makes it to a presidential election is going to be much different when it comes to finances that person also believes that a thin piece of old t-shirt over their mouth is also gonna keep them safe from an aerosol virus. By the time you become a presidential candidate, you are no longer pulling in your money via earned income.
Pick your candidate based on policy....don't be naive enough to think that when it comes to finances that you and 99.9% of America have anything in common with either candidate.

And 84 of those 234 deaths have occurred in the past 27 days. Awesome results with your solution flop!
So since over 1/2 the deaths are in Nursing homes just over one nursing home patient a day is dying in a nursing home in ND....who would have ever thought. Stay hunkered down in your bunker.

Have to agree that we shouldn’t have spent $1.8 million on marketing of masks. I can think of a much less costly solution.
also in ND news, we can’t seem to hang on to a state health officer for more than a few weeks. I wonder why?
maybe we can find ourselves a Dr Atlas? Or a Dr Oxbow?
234 deaths coming up on 7 months now in ND ......over half in nursing homes....where even before Covid 1/2 of the people die in 6 months or less, most schools have been back for a month. We are witnessing the "solution" to this "problem" as we speak.

This guy was at the Devils Lake Walmart on Saturday. Talk about living in fear.
Looks like a clean suit. Hayduke must not have crapped his pants due to his being outside yet when this photo was taken.

C'mon people.....get out there and get tested to find those asymptomatic cases so you can quarantine and miss the last couple nice weeks of Indian summer. With your support we can get schools fully knocked back online.

Let's see.
One side wants to register and have people vote. They, the Democrats, are the political party actively involved in voter registration drives. They are eager to allow anyone to vote.
The other side, the Republicans, tske measures to lower those number of active voters.
And...what the Democrats are doing is a problem?
I guess that is the mindset of the cult.
No one should be discouraged from voting......but I also don't believe that disinterested/uneducated voters should be coaxed into voting for a certain side either.

Pretty much....
Only in America does one side hinge their chance of success at getting every marginal/unwilling to put forth minimal effort/uninterested person to vote for them (funny how it can be turned around so easily huh?)

The same could be said for in-person voting. Why don't you focus on that as well? There are more occurrences of fraud with in-person voting.
Actually no, but nice try. It just kills you to acknowledge that the more steps/hands involved in a process the more opportunity for error/fraud exists.
And using your own logic, if there is currently more fraud involved with in person voting, where there is at least a cursory verification that the correct person is voting....and that person puts their vote directly into the computer.......what level of fraud do you think exists where those same steps aren't being taken?

Nine convictions; nine ballots.
The names and offenses are easily found.
There were eight convictions in 2012, the year before Colorado adopted all main-in ballots.Drive by Mike.....7 already in one Pennsylvania county......but as long as there isn't a conviction it doesn't count according to your logic.

No evidence exists to verify that mail-in voting is more fraudulent than in-person voting. None. Study after study (by both right and left institutions) has documented this.
And you should realize that past returns are no guarantee of future results. At a minimum the recent Pennsylvania military ballots being tossed in one county shows how easy it can happen (intentional or unintentional).
I show my ID to election official.....I mark my ballot....I put my ballot directly into the scanner.....leaves less room for potential error than a ballot being mailed out, possibly being filled out by me....the USPS possibly getting the completed ballot delivered on time......the person opening the ballot possibly scanning it in as they are supposed to....etc. It can be argued if it is a problem but it can't be argued which way leaves more opportunity for fraud to occur.

Interestingly, there's a good chance those 7 military ballots would have been invalidated either way. They reportedly weren't mailed in secrecy envelopes. According to the DOJ they were returned in envelopes similar to absentee ballot requests and that's what confused the temp worker election official.
Ironically it was the GOP who recently won a lawsuit that required non-secrecy envelopes to not be counted.
Don't have to worry about secrecy or non secrecy envelopes with in person voting. Just goes to show that with mail in ballots (mass blasted or absentee) there is more wiggle room for one side or the other to engage in shenanigans.

For example, the conviction rate of domestic violence crimes is very low once the fact that most aren't reported and the majority that are....are pled down to lesser crimes is taken into account.

Omg. Really!?!
If you’re not registered, do so by October 26 to get a ballot.
my ballot (I’m already registered) should be in my mailbox in early October
Colorado really has this figured out. It should be a model for every state that wants to adopt Mail-in voting.
So does Colorado just throw away the military mail in votes like has already happened in Pennsylvania or is Colorado progressive enough where they throw away non-military member ballots too?

Colorado mails more than 3 million ballots to voters every election. That doesn’t qualify under your definition as ‘mass mailing’?
Already 7 missed Trump votes in very early voting in one county alone in Pennsylvania. Inconvenient I know Drive by Mike. Extrapolate those out and you have election swinging potential.

Bulletproof sourcing. You have changed my mind. Well done.
Read more than the most recent post. Unless you are disputing this report. https://www.grandforksherald.com/newsmd/coronavirus/6678422-North-Dakotas-spike-in-COVID-19-deaths-continues-as-active-cases-hit-record-high-again

Do you have any sources that show 30% of ND deaths associated with CoVid actually had absolutely nothing to do with the person contracting the virus and they would have died the exact same day regardless?
He can argue for the 30% but I won't and give anyone that 30%. Approximately 110 people died, that probably weren't near the end, over a 6-7 month period and some want to grind everything to a halt. Asinine.

I think it is very believable that you've lost your mind.
It is, after all, helpful when joining a cult.
About half of 219......(here I'll help you out) that's approximately 110 total people that have died of Covid outside of a nursing home in 6-7 months in ND. Say her name.....I mean Say those Facts! Say those facts!

ROTFLMAO!
Take a look at Colorado voting, which since 2013 has been entirely by mail. 8.06 million ballots cast statewide and you know how many people have been convicted of voter fraud in that period?
NINE.
That's 0.000111687792 percent. Extrapolate that onto the 2016 presidential vote and you'll expect to find 144 fraudulent ballots nationwide.
Do you really want to hang onto that 'manipulate the election' theory?
Drive by Mike is back....Here's 7 already in one close county alone in Pennsylvania.....all were Trump ballots that were mysteriously tossed. Want to extrapolate those results out considering just a minute fraction of people have voted yet?
-
219 total deaths in the state since the start 6-7 months ago.....over half of them in nursing homes...but yet people are still losing their minds. Unbelievable.

He's already sent them into cities without state/local approval, no? And it was beyond the scope of "protecting federal property".
Which is unfortunate because he did it with the support of most of the citizens in those areas who were being held hostage by their local leftist leadership.

2020 Dumpster Fire (Enter at your own risk)

Admittedly I might be the wrong person to ask about that. If you were contact tracing ebola good Lord would I be all on board with it. With Covid I've taken the attitude (and I am far from alone) that there is a good chance that any given person that I run into during the course of the day has it and could be contagious. I don't believe in imposing all sorts of complicated restrictions on asymptomatic healthy people. By this time the public has been educated, large gatherings have been stopped for the time being, whether the person in line with me at Hugo's has been contact traced or not has no bearing on how I am proceeding these days.
If someone feels safer at home, I support that decision....and frankly they should be glad that the healthy are letting it run through them out in society because it's becoming clearer and clearer that some level of herd immunity is the only way the US will get back to normal.
