What the virus paranoia has created

Hope you all are happy with what you have created



single mother fearing judgement for taking her five-year-old daughter shopping with her during the coronavirus pandemic has come up with a creative solution to avoid criticism from strangers.

In an attempt to make people aware of her reasons for taking her daughter shopping, MaryAnn Fausey Resendez shared a photo of her daughter with a sign on her back explaining her situation to strangers.

“I am only five,” the sign reads. “I can’t stay home alone so I have to buy groceries with mommy… Before you start judging stay back 6 feet.”

In the post on Facebook on April 9, the Texas mother explained that she felt people would judge her for bringing her daughter outside the house during the pandemic and might criticise her on social media.

“The sign I made her wear cuz I just know some dumba** will take a picture & talk s**t on social media not knowing all the facts,’” the tattoo artist wrote.

Many supermarkets across the country are implementing measures that limit how many people from one household should be shopping at one time.

The image also showed the five-year-old wearing a protective mask that had been tightened to fit around her face properly with a piece of material, according to Ms Resendez.

“There is so much obvious evidence that this is real. It almost defies imagination that anybody would have to try to prove it,”

Scientists? What do scientists know? They should spend less time in the lab and more time on fox news, the ultimate authority on everything. If fox says the virus was cooked up by an evil Chinese megalomaniac, then that's the way it is. Stop wasting taxpayer money!

Sheriff threatened to jail teen's family if she did not delete Instagram posts about coronavirus, lawsuit says
MADISON, Wis. – A high school sophomore sued the Marquette County sheriff Thursday after he threatened to take her or her family to jail for her post on Instagram warning that she believed she had been infected with coronavirus.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Milwaukee with the help of the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, argues the jail threat violated the teen’s right to free speech. The case raises questions about First Amendment protections in the middle of a pandemic.

Amyiah Cohoon in March took a spring break trip to Florida with the Westfield Area High School band. The students returned to Wisconsin on March 15, earlier than planned, because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Four or five days later, Amyiah fell ill and eventually had trouble breathing. She was taken to hospitals in Portage and Madison over the next week. She tested negative for coronavirus on March 25, but doctors told her she likely had the illness but had been tested too late to get a positive result, according to the lawsuit.

She posted three messages on Instagram about her situation – one saying she wouldn't be back for a while because she had coronavirus, one saying she might have to stay in the emergency room and one with her wearing an oxygen mask.

"I am still on breathing treatment but have beaten the coronavirus. Stay home and be safe," she wrote in the last post.

On March 27, Sgt. Cameron Klump visited the girl's home and told her father, Richard Cohoon, that Sheriff Joseph Konrath told him to get the latest Instagram post deleted or “start taking people to jail,” according to the lawsuit. Klump said the family could be cited for disorderly conduct as well.

Klump told Cohoon the sheriff wanted the post removed because there were no confirmed coronavirus cases in the county at the time. He said he was acting in part on a complaint from school authorities, according to the lawsuit.

Amyiah deleted the post, as well as one of the earlier ones. The third post had automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Earlier on the day of the sergeant's visit, Westfield schools District Administrator Bob Meicher sent an update to parents saying there was “no truth” to a rumor that a student had contracted coronavirus during the band trip, according to the lawsuit.

“This was a foolish means to get attention and the source of the rumor has been addressed,” he told the parents. “This rumor had caught the attention of our Public Health Department and she was involved in putting a stop to this nonsense. In times like this, the last thing we need out there is misinformation.”

Meicher did not immediately respond to questions Thursday about how the district handled the issue.

Sam Hall, an attorney for the sheriff, said the teenager "caused distress and panic" among other parents by claiming she had contracted the coronavirus despite getting a negative test result.

"This case is nothing more than a 2020 version of screaming fire in a crowded theater," he said, referring to speech that is not protected by the First Amendment.

"It is unfortunate that the plaintiff brings this lawsuit now, while law enforcement should be able to focus solely on the public health crisis that we currently face," Hall said. "However, we plan to mount an aggressive defense to this lawsuit.

The lawsuit seeks what it calls “nominal damages” and an injunction barring the sheriff from arresting, jailing or citing the family for engaging in free speech.

Many supermarkets across the country are implementing measures that limit how many people from one household should be shopping at one time.

We got around this. The point is for everyone to take a separate shopping cart. They don't know that the person behind or in front of you is a family member. Each family member gets a portion of the shopping list. After everyone is finished you meet at a certain spot at a certain time, stick all your groceries in one cart, one person goes to the checkout to pay, and Bob's yer uncle. I figured we should do this when the first time 2 of us went in together with one cart and got static from the "greeter".




Hope you all are happy with what you have created

Yes, indeed. Our betters consider that mass paranoia, panic, chaos, social disruption and unemployment are preferable to encouraging a few susceptible persons to stay home. Can't have that - nosirree; instead get the entire population to stay home and make sure their phone is on speed dial to the Snitch Line if they should spot their neighbor talking to someone in the front yard.

SMH...

That's assuming things were "normal" to begin with. This is a silver lining, an opportunity to examine your LIFE, and get it more in line with whom you really are, instead of being a pawn on the chessboard.

"I gotta get back to "work/wage slave toil", do more plumbing, whether WE need plumbing or not, cause I got bills to pay"...

The system as is is screwed, and YOU are screwed being a part of it. WE don't want things to go back to NORMAL...

Wow, the Militant Masses who are snitching on each other for violating the Stay-At-Home Order! This is Australia, so why do I get the feeling that stupid sheeple in other countries are even more Militant than we are here ....

Couple Fined for Violating COVID Lockdown After Posting Year-Old Vacation Pics

[www.westernjournal.com]

An Australian couple fined for nonessential travel after they posted vacation pics from last year to social media have had their fine rescinded by the Victoria Police Department — because apparently even faceless officialdom has some shame when the media is contacted.

The couple won’t be able to post any more pictures from their vacation on their account, however, because faceless officialdom doesn’t have that much shame left.

According to the U.K. Independent, Jaz and Garry Mott had some time on their hands due to the coronavirus lockdown, so they decided they would go through the photos they’d taken during a 2019 vacation to the coastal town of Lakes Entrance, roughly two hours from where they live in Traralgon, Victoria.

Apparently, someone was paying attention and didn’t like it. The pictures were posted on April 5. On April 9, an officer with the Victoria Police Department came knocking on their door.

Jaz Mott said the officer “just handed me the fine and walked off,” which didn’t leave a whole lot of time to explain that the couple was being fined for “infringement” of the lockdown order there banning nonessential travel.

The fine was $1,652 Australian dollars — $1,041 in U.S. dollars.

The obvious reason for the fine is that police thought the photos were posted on the same day they were taken. The question is how they actually found out about this, but we’ll get there later.

The ticket said the Motts were in violation of “failure to comply with a direction given to a person in the exercise of a power under an authorization given under section 199.”

It went on to note that they were “going for a drive to Lakes Entrance (non-essential travel).”

No one had observed them driving there, of course, and the only way they’d be able to tell is by looking at the photographs of Jaz and Garry Mott in a car. Nothing in the pictures could have led anyone to determine when or where the pictures were taken.

These salient pieces of information tying them to a violation of the law in the time of coronavirus weren’t an impediment to the police, though.

So, yes, after the couple contacted local media, the fine was canceled. Sanity prevailed, right? Not quite.

“The Sargent told me if I posted any more photos I will be arrested,” Jaz Mott told the Independent.

The Victoria Police Department issued the pro forma “mistakes were made” statement.

“This incident has been reviewed and the decision has been made to withdraw the infringement notice,” a department representative said.

“On occasion, errors will be made however that is why a review process exists to ensure instances such as these are identified and rectified.

“Police are not specifically monitoring social media accounts to identify breaches of the Chief Health Officer directives.

“In general, police will follow up and investigate the circumstances surrounding individual potential breaches reported by the public.”

This would have had to have been reported by the public; a screen shot of the photos posted to Facebook seems to indicate it was set to friends-only status, meaning that the police couldn’t have just been trawling the accounts of public places, looking for people foolish enough to tag themselves in photographs visiting there.

And to top it all off, as we’re all sitting at home with nothing to do, the police are telling a couple not to go through their vacation photos and post them on social media because of their own mistake.

These are the kinds of little tyrannies that cause a population to get restive — and at a time when we need as much unity and cooperation as possible, I can’t think of a little tyranny more ill-aimed than this one.

I see your point - and always have. MY point was that there have to be better ways to get us to do some serious self searching instead of having billionaires plotting to take over the world (thru total economic shutdown + mandatory vaccination) as their "cure" for what's wrong with society as a whole.

Indeed, there's plenty of folks who have changed their lives in a positive manner. We don't need to worry about those who haven't seen the light yet.

Short version: The cure should not be worse than the disease. tongue sticking out smiley
