We can blame the whole thing on Ozzy Osborn. He started it when he bit the head off of that bat.

The only reason he survived was because of all the drugs in his system . The virus got stoned before it could attack him.

If that is on the internet somewhere some people will believe it and start biting off bat heads and/or getting higher.

I meant this to be tongue in cheek

Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat 37 years ago, and, for some reason, now a toy commemorates it

I remember when this was announced in 82 as a teaser for the 11 pm news. "Cavemen found in India! Rock star bites head off bat!"

We knew it had to be Ozzy.

Cuomo aide tells NY Democrats administration hid nursing home data to keep it from Trump DOJ: Report
Newly released freedom of information data revealed that the nursing home death toll was far higher than previously reported

A top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told leading state Democratic lawmakers that the administration had withheld data on COVID-19 deaths at nursing homes to avoid federal scrutiny, according to a bombshell new report.

The revelation prompted condemnations and even talk of impeachment in Albany, the state's capital.

The New York Post first reported that Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, told leading Empire State Democrats that the administration feared the data could "be used against us" by the Justice Department during a video conference call.

The DOJ began investigating nursing home coronavirus deaths in four states back in August – and New York was one of them.

"We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation," DeRosa told the lawmakers, according to the Post report.

When might we hear something about this on the major U.S. TV channels news broadcasts?

More than likely never as the news media runs cover for these buffoons. They’re to busy trying impeach Donald Trump to be concerned about good American people dying.

Here you go Roger but be warned. Some here may accuse you of being some wild eyed conspiracy theorist because you looked at something from Fox News.

They're looking into several states. Pa.,NY., Md., Nj., CT., and DE. These governors got together weekly to talk all thing virus related in the mid Atlantic region. a Pa. newspaper is lighting a fire under wolf's arse for some right to know things. Wolf skirted a law by using skype. He has no transcripts from his Skype meetings. All his phone calls get recorded not his Skype meetings. No records are found of what he said with other governors. Only that he had a 2 hour meeting every week with these guys.

Australian Open is now closed to attendance; outbreak in Melbourne with some very serious restrictions put into place. Such a response might be in our future for quite some time if we continue to refuse to accept personal responsibility for our actions toward others.

I have to say this epidemic is finally being taken serious in the OKC area. Seldom do I see unmasked individuals in public, like I did a few months ago and our new daily cases are down into the mid 200's, from a high of almost 1000 after the 1st of the year. I believe in masks, but it does give one pause when I read that numbers around the country are on the decrease, at a time when it was forecast to be increasing.

With open borders rest assured the numbers will go up. I highly doubt the chain link hotels Obama set up are going to provide proper testing quarantines and vaccinations. Although the Democrats would likely vaccinate immigrants before they would take care of the their own.

I heard today they’re working on getting tampon dispensers in the boys bathrooms in Maryland. Rest assured we will get back to dealing with Covid after the Democrats have the boys bathrooms fully stocked with tampons. You have to have your priorities straight.

More people are finally actually taking their personal responsibilities seriously. Maybe we can move beyond the "it's all about me and my entitlements" where our society had been moving for too long. Once this country accepted and responded to problems unified rather than stood around picking at scabs.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the people you think are the “It’s all about me and my entitlements” crowd have never really seen covid as a serious threat?
That they’re not malicious in their intent but just don’t see it as a danger to themselves or others?

I really don’t think that largely as a population we want to see our fellow Americans die. I know I don’t, but regardless of all the hype and it is hype, you have a 95% + chance of surviving covid.

And the CDC ,WHO along with Fauci keep piling on the BS. Or that it has become follow the money. I have friends that live in such fear. They think Covid is a fog in the air.

Malicious......maybe not overtly so, but very much negligently so and that's pretty sad that they don;t care about themselves or others.

Which is also a 5% chance of death. Lots more than the flu........and for those of us that are rather sensitive to respiratory ailments, it's lot higher than 5%. Once you've sat around listening to your lungs fill up with fluid more than once, you sort of learn you're not invulnerable and start to take serious precautions for the rest of your life
