Back in March, the COVID mantra was, “15 days to slow the spread”, meaning flattening the curve. The purpose was to avoid overwhelming the medical system as no one really knew what we were up against with the Wuhan virus.
This allowed time for the system to adapt and recalibrate to this new illness. As the virus peaked in mid-April, the subsequent months should have been the normal course of a viral pandemic, some getting sick to varying degrees, others unfortunately dying, but eventually reaching herd immunity, itself a longstanding concept -- suddenly controversial.

YES, and YES again. Who cares about how many people contracted the virus. I heard on the radio driving yesterday that one person from a county in PA got it. I thought who cares................ That is news? They know that republicans vote on November 3rd, so let's scare them into not going. Fat chance.

They actually scare democrats more than our side. Most of the people on the right don't believe the hype of CV-19 and are more educated about what works and what doesn't. They always accuse Republicans of voter suppression, so guess what they're doing--suppressing votes, or suppressing normal voting for their organized fraud; what they really want is to change how votes are accounted for and counted. What's strange is this is taking place in the most liberal cities and counties where Biden should have a lock; but he doesn't.

I do believe Americans realize the importance of this election and will let nothing get in the way of their desire to re-elect this President along with as many Republicans as they can down ballot. Democrat behavior these past four years has solidified their resolve. Most of us are suspect of the timing of the virus along with the political and media manipulation of the facts surrounding it. Considering the behavior of the democrat party these past four years, it is no surprise to reasonable people that democrats will, as they have told us, not allow a crisis to go to waste. I pray we are witnessing the death throes of the anti-American democrat party who by their actions admit to having nothing to offer but the desire for iron fisted control, abject corruption, and contempt for the Constitution and rule of law as their motivation. Patriots of every stripe will crawl through broken glass to deny them what they desire most, the total transformation of this country into their totalitarian utopia. Don your face diapers and do your duty to save the Republic!

My daughter, who's a nurse, said anyone who coughs, even occasionally, is now tested for COVID 19.

The only thing that I’m scared of is the idea of having to wear a mask while standing in line for several hours to vote. But I’ll sweat my way through it here in SC where the temps are still in the 80’s.

I keep hearing news reports of a surge. But, my state's Health dept numbers just don't support that reporting.

Yes, as is the zombie story from July that immunity falls quickly. That is still uncertain, but libs and their media hacks are pulling out all the fear stories they can to suppress the vote, rallies, and the economy. Shameless!

Yes, it is. The dims and msm made it quite clear that they want this election to be all about covid19 and dementia. But, that darn Bidengate thing started competing with covid. Using a virus as a political prop never ceases to amaze me, but that is what dims and the msm do. Not sure what planet they are on but it isn't here.
In blood-red western Colorado, nothing would stop its citizens from doing their civic duty next week or any week. Thinking that covid here has had the reverse effect - more people are engaged in the political scene than ever. Even if the Presidential election was held last Sunday when horrid winter weather paid us a visit, everyone would be out there wearing their Carhartts while standing in line waiting to vote.
I turn 68 on Wednesday the 4th. In November 1952, my mother, always the penny saver, wanted to save a trip out and and few pennies on gas (when gas was 27 cents per gallon) and went to vote for Ike with my father that afternoon then hustled over to the hospital at which time I came into the world five hours later.
Will be voting for President for the 13th time on Tuesday. I'll be there!

Don’t be surprised if the leftist and liberal Democrats along with their media minions don’t start insinuating that the biggest spikes in COVID-19 virus will occur on Nov 3, the date of the General Election, in Republican areas, and States, and that Republicans should stay home in their basements, wear face masks, and social distance while under cover in their basements all day.

Lest we forget, the numbers of "cases" also include those who have recovered and now have some immunity.
To blame Mr. Trump for 230,000 DEATHS due to Covid is to tell a lie. Those who died in motorcycle accidents didn't die from Covid.
The whole mail-in frenzy was cooked up KNOWING that Hunter's laptop was OUT THERE a year ago!!
Don't think for a minute that the demonrat socialists didn't know about it--
They had to get as many votes in the barn before the STORM hit!
So now we are seeing another 'spike' near election day during early voting to put fear into the older Americans who tend to vote Republican... all part of the plan.
We have got to win the Senate or the demonrat socialists will block the positive things we have seen the last four years

"Attempt to Suppress In-Person Voting?" or an excuse to reinstate lockdowns. Democrats voted early and by mail.
I hope the Trump campaign is prepared to fight this if/when.

Even if one accepts the inflated (and they clearly are) number of deaths due to COVID, the current US death rate is only 2.6%. And for this, the democrats want to shut down an entire economy and control where you go, what you do, and with whom you do whatever. it is you do. When an honest history is written about these times, it will surely conclude that leftist politicians and the media were able to wreck an economy and create enough hysteria among the population that the people were willing to give up many basic freedoms to those in power (and, specifically, it will also conclude how utterly false masks were in limiting the spread of COVID). It is indeed a sad time in our history.

The whole reporting on the 'China' virus has been so badly politicized that the data is badly misleading. The 'cases' are positive test results period. They include non-symptomatic, mild-symptomatic,as well as, those who need medical care. Of those people who die from multiple medical problems, if they test positive for Covid they are listed as dying from Covid only. With the data so badly corrupted, the only thing achieved is scare people. Which, of coarse, is the point.

The constant reports of dire circumstances by the fake media has been an attempt to scare voters... it doesn't work...WE conservatives are not frightened snowflakes who suck our thumbs and drag on funny cigarettes in their Mommy"s basement... WE are doers... who get the job done.... first Justice Amy Barrett... now re/election of President Trump...next cleaning up the DC swamp...

Here's the game plan: The Dems are telling their people to vote as early as possible or by mail. They assume the Republicans all want to "vote in person". This coming week they will ratchet up the Chinese Flu scare and report that standing in line to vote will give you the flu. The hope is that many seasoned citizens will stay away and assume Trump has it in the bag. Then --- the final straw will be getting the poll watchers to make it as difficult to vote as possible by either no showing up and leaving them short-handed or insisting that voting machines be wiped down after every vote, the pens be disinfected, etc. Anything to make the wait 5 hours so Republicans go home.

Recent surge in new cases is directly proportional to recent surge in new testing.

There is no way that any politician in the entire world, and certainly not Joseph Biden, can get the Chinese COVID-19 virus under control. It’s more likely that Biden, if he stops hiding in his basement, could catch the COVID-19 virus and get very sick because of his age, obvious prior serious health problems, and most likely compromised immune system. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious virus that is very dangerous to people who have compromised immune systems or who are elderly. For most other people when they test positive for COVID-19, they either have no symptoms as happened to me, or have symptoms like a common cold or flu. The only people in the world who have any chance at all to bring the COVID-19 virus under control are medical-scientists after much advanced experimenting and study, when they create effective medical treatments and through vaccines. If you fit within the susceptible classes of people who could get very ill after catching the COVID-19 virus you should be very careful. For everyone else life must go on!

Actually I think there are two purposes. One of course is to curtail voting, and the other is to make the stock markets nervous. The stock market gets nervous, and the Dow drops making Trump's economy slow down.

Hey, Fellow Conservatives,
Vote early and vote often! It`s the Chicago way, and while we`re better than that, we don`t have to lie down and accept massive voter manipulation, intimidation and fraud in a presidential election. Fortunately, Donald Trump will be reelected by a generous margin, and what a candidate he is! I want to know where he gets his energy, and I want a prescription for those pills! ֎
