I'm swimming in a vast sea of low IQ people.

Some days I just really become hopeless. Really fucking hopeless.

Over at Zero Hedge who is completely making shit up.... insinuates that a dog got sick with monkeypox because the owners had sex with it. There is legitimately no effort to provide truthful information at all. Gets him a lot of clicks$ I bet. Man, what garbage that site has become.

Not that ALL warm blooded animals that come into contact with this disease can get anal lesions.

There are two things that strike me about the monkeypox pandemic. One - how prudish dudes have gotten all of a sudden about butt sex. It's hilarious. Come on men.

And two, I was sort of unaware (in 2022) how much of a problem people still had with gays.

All I know is that we are fucked because of these lowIQ muthfuckers. Likely children and the elderly will get it. Some already have. Which also gets childish pedo porn comments. School starts real soon. Oh never mind. Nevada has already gotten it in a high school. And instead of getting this tamped down, people can't handle this shit because someone put their wee wee in someones butt. LOW IQ.

It's just astonishing that not one health official has come out to say how long Monkeypox stays in the environment. Before the US went on it's  Eugenics fueled "only the fit shall live" the government had very specific rules for dealing with clothing and anything the infected touched. 

There is even an old timey article where they were moving the grave of someone who had been infected with a pox decades before, and the grave diggers came up sick. I will try to find it. People have no idea what they are effing with.

There is a flight attendant RIGHT NOW isolating in a hotel room I think in New York  Fort Lauderdale. Will have to watch the video again. And the only thing I could think was.. what are they going to do with that hotel after he is better? Are they going to burn it, or what?

There is a rumor the new Electric DeLorean will show up on this blog. Soonish.

Who ever gets them clicks.

US Declares Monkeypox Public Health Emergency.

Pretty fun to see Zero Hedge sourcing Politico and WaPo on Monkeypox information. Just click the above link. With Covid they were a slave to the banks. But everyone knows that people don't open the links. They just see the sensational headline.

WaPo and Politico are taking the "Mild" narrative I see. Probably because they only see how Monkeypox has acted in the past. Not how it's acting currently. They don't tell you about the potential to make people blind. Or die from brain swelling. Or that people get so sick they can't eat or drink for days. Often finding it hard to even swallow their own saliva.

We are almost three months into this now. Monkeypox is in some 86 nations. The US has almost 7000 cases. The CDC is two months too late.

Before I took a break on the blog I wrote about Monkeypox. There were already rumors at then, that the government had let a ton of vaccine doses expire. I couldn't prove it, so I just waited. Turns out to be true. Now people that WANT to be vaccinated can't be. And frankly, I don't understand why both parties are not hauling CDC before congress to humiliate them. The abject silence from the Republicans make me think they get those sweet sweet kickbacks from pharma and whomever as well.

Two months ago I  said I think it's too late to get this under control. Now because it has been let to find new hosts to evolve in, it's probably going to mutate like SARS2 and make it very difficult to eradicate.

Not to mention, Americans only want to be told feel good lies. So it's going to be real fun (said in the most sarcastic way) to see how people choose to deal with this. 

Winter is going to be a fucking mess.

Last week, I learned that if you yell "Oh, for fucks sakes" into an automated system - you immediately get transfered to an operator.

ICE hearts.

 

This is a trend in Japan that sometimes makes it over here. This is the exhaust pipe.

Now we are getting to find out how people with Monkeypox die. Encephalitis. And there are also a LOT more women popping up infected.

Your turn America. How we gonna play this? Pox parties? Just outright denial like the past three years?

Last night was the first time on the old people news that they said new SARS2 infections might not be mild and to protect yourselves. Only three years too late. 

I think they (the news) have finally ditched those hack doctors like Monica Gandi and Bob Watchter.

Shook.

This is Lake Shasta about a month ago.

This is a 2007 style fugly chart.

It's been a super long time since all the months have been negative. 

Clown show.

As you can plainly see - housing has been falling for the entire year. Even before the Fed started raising rates. The Fed is fighting inflation they can do nothing about. But they are willing to vaporize the housing market. Since assumably they can't shove out PPP loans ( oh, that's right. They weren't really loans but forgiven helicopter money), the only firepower they have is to raise rates so they can say they have some ammunition to lower them again later.

Nearly complete. Even the gay cowboys.

In 40 days the US went from twenty States with Monkeypox to 48 States. We were a distant 10th in the world, now we are #1! GO USA! It is now in 74+ countries. I haven't checked the last day or two.

I wanted to talk about it today because Fox News last night was telling people all sorts of wrong things.  I'm trying to figure out which thing is the most important to tell people.

I guess the biggest lie right now is we have a vaccine and treatments. I mean....... we do have vaccines. The old one from the old timey days for smallpox which is very dangerous. 

The new one, which actually hasn't even been tested on anyone. Yeah. You heard that right. Hasn't been tested on children. No known efficiency for adults which the CDC just admitted last night. 

The second thing is there are tons of people who can't even get the vaccine. People with eczema are at an especially high risk of bad outcomes. That is fully 3% of the world population. The old vaccine basically has the live virus, so people with eczema can't even be around anyone that was vaccinated since eczema basically is open sores. MPox is very contagious to that group. Pregnant women not allowed to get the vaccine. People with immune problems - also not allowed.

The third thing is that only the gay gay gays can get it. Just last night a child in the US was reported with Monkeypox and a pregnant woman. And if you have ready ANY of the stories from the currently infected, it is truly the saddest thing. People can't eat. People can't even FART or poop it hurts so bad. To have children and the elderly exposed to this is next level evil. Even morphine doesn't cut the pain. And a large portion of people who have written about their experience say they contemplated suicide because the pain is that intense. Some people have been maxed out on morphine and the doctor tells them that can't have any more because it will stop their heart.

There have been reports of community spread for at least a month now. Meaning they can't link some cases to the known outbreak. Last night stories started coming through nighttime twitter of cases not linked to sex at all. One guy thought he got it from his job.

So.... this is where we stand right now.

I think most infuriating thing of the past three years is that people have been more focused on fighting the "fear" than fighting any of the viruses. So now we get to do this with a public that doesn't trust anyone and doesn't believe anything. And we all now have unisex bathrooms. 

I would have said we should get this under control ASAP considering what this could do to Airbnb and the travel industry in general. But who am I kidding... right? The time to act was more than a month ago, but no one is going to listen to them now.

It is just the cutest thing watching everyone fall all over themselves saying there isn't going to be a recession. Only dummies believe that. I happen to fall in the camp that thinks we have been in recession since 2020 and money printing only delayed the inevitable.

If they admitted the truth then everyone would wonder why they are raising interest rates. It was the weirdest policy move ever. Raising at the end when everything was already in decline.

Maybe they did it only so they had "some" kind of tools to fight what is coming. LOL Said in the most sarcastic way.

Welcome to the "patting myself on the back tour". It gonna be a long ride.

Dr. Birx Says She Knew of Natural COVID-19 Reinfections as Early as December 2020 

"During questioning from Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, former White House COVID-19 Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx says she knew in December 2020 and January 2021 that people who were naturally infected with COVID-19 were experiencing reinfection based on data coming out of South Africa. She says that officials were likely hoping that infection or transmission would not reoccur once the vaccines came along. "I think it was hope that the vaccine would work in that way," she says."

I read about this about a week ago and have been pissed every since. Anyone who said there were reinfections got dragged by the unawake mob. 

I started talking about reinfections in mid July of 2021. Not long after the jab came out. But I was a fear monger.

"Those of us who have been watching this on night time twitter have been holding our breath. Initially it looked like there were only 20% breakthrough cases a week ago (which is not great) but things are looking rather worse now. 

I tried to tell people a couple of months ago that other countries who were more vaccinated than the US were still having terrible outbreaks. But no one wanted to listen.

Frankly this woman should be sued into poverty. Every dime she makes on that book should go to the families she's killed. People lost family relationships over this. People lost friendships. And people died. Frankly I'm pretty mad about how people were treated who tried to tell others the truth.

Not to mention the trust lost in the CDC. Monkeypox is going to be a good fun ride because apparently our new standard is that if you've never heard of something or don't believe in it, no one should get treatment.

They always shoot the messenger.

Looks like the climate is right to dip back in. I'd like to think people come here because I don't blow with the wind like literally all of the other blogs that make money from writing articles.

I took some time off because blogging became not worth it. Not one bit. I don't get paid for this shit. All the content here is from my time and energy.

To constantly be told told you are wrong and be ridiculed as a fear mongering cultist for almost three years sort of makes a person angry.  And I started reflecting that more and more in my replies. I mean, it's infuriating to be told you are afraid when I literally was out the whole time in 2020 trying to save my favorite restaurants during the most uncertain points of the pandemic. BEFORE that became fashionable.  I know what happened the whole pandemic despite all the false internet narratives. 

This is from April 3 2020.

"In confessing my own sins... I've been going out every three days or so. Armed with a mask and alcohol swabs. I still need to replenish supplies and some takeout is still open. It's a hard battle between complete lockdown and hoping some of your favorite places get at least some income and will come back. But from what I have observed - there are still a lot of people out. I mean....go to a Chickfila. I'm betting you will be astonished. Because I was and I was in that line. Don't yell at me."

Very early in 2020 I started sharing info about reinfections. The data really came from all over the world. China, South Korea, Israel. But America didn't count reinfections so I was a lair. As a whole,  people who were most wrong, were most mean about it. And I'm not a guy so this isn't a bygones sort of thing. I'm mad. I was only trying to inform people the things the government wasn't. And it turns out  was right all along.

Now I'm going to be even more sarcastic, and people who read this blog are just going to have to figure out a way to deal with it. I'm not poking at anyone specifically, but as certain groups as a whole.

March 12 2020.

"I can assure you - this virus is hell on earth. 20% of people will need serious medical intervention. And it feels like you are drowning. Not only that - people who recover become reinfected. In China they said 14% of cured patients came up with the disease again. This thing sort of shape shifts."

Then on March 18 2020.

"Last night I started reading that Chinese students were flooding back to China because they believed it was the safest place on earth. You see - China has been convincing people that their outbreak has completely run it's course. Despite China knowing early on that you can get infected with this thing over and over.

On April 20 2020

I titled a post, There is zero evidence of immunity.

Then on April 7 2020.

"The other thing that is being passed around is that if you get the virus you have some sort of immunity. Which is wrong. There have been people saying there might be some limited immunity, but no one knows if that is true yet. To the contrary it has been known for many weeks that a certain amount of "recovered" positives can relapse. I think the number was 13 or 14%. We know this to be true because South Korea keeps reporting this."

I mean, just three weeks ago people were still insisting you couldn't get SARS2 over and over again.

Source Slate.

"This week, a very scary-sounding article went viral (“Get Ready for the Forever Plague”!), accompanied by a picture of an equally scary crow-faced plague doctor in a hoodie. “Just one infection can destabilize your immune system and age it by 10 years,” the journalist wrote. “As a consequence it is now possible to be reinfected with one of omicron’s variants every two to three weeks,” and “each reinfection confers no immunity.” 

Let’s get this out of the way: None of that is true. The article was roundly criticized by numerous experts on Twitter as sloppy and error-ridden, and hyperbolic. But it clearly struck a nerve, because it taps into legitimate concerns about the stage of the pandemic we’re in. 

I’ll refrain from nitpicking every claim in the article (see the expert threads for that). I think it’s worth diving into one of its central claims, though—that reinfection is possible again, and again, in rapid succession. This is both scaremongering, and contains some important bits of truth. "

Ghost forest.

I would like to make a heartfelt apology to my readers.

I realize I have become a sort of a dick and I apologize for that. I know people are just trying to get through this stupid time the best they can.

 

Having said that......I believe this "fear" narrative is the phoniest thing ever. It's just a way for Republicans to peer pressure you into not talking about things the herd doesn't want you to. 

 

That is not happening here. The "fear narrative" is going to trigger me every time because I don't believe it exists.  But, I will try to not be condescending.

 

You guys don't have to give a single fuck - just get out of the way of those who know our economy can not sustain people putting their hands over their eyes and saying " I don't see anything here". 

I'm sure he will live. (probably)

 

It's already too late basically. It's in 20 States and 40 41 countries. We have community spread in Hawaii and Sacramento and Georgia apparently... so all those gay gay gays are not the only ones who can get it. It's definitely not airborne like SARS COv2.

Thankfully it's so mild people have to be on morphne. Animal workers are already starting to be forced into being vaccinated because people are too stupid to not let this happen. Once in the animal population all bets are off what it mutates into.

The vaccine hasn't really been tested on anyone. So that's great news.

Mr S. thinks the government keeps denying how bad the problem is because if they do then people will expect a plan. And it turns out - they never had a plan. Hell they didn't even have masks in the strategic reserve. I'd place money that they don't have all the vaxxes they need either.

But don't worry! Such a clown show. 

How Boomers are assholes in one tweet.

I know this person is a Boomer because I'm GenX and I was too young to get the shot.  

This person seems to understand getting these diseases as an adult, is bad. But, because they got a shot as a child, everyone else is over reacting. Despite them stopping the shot in 1972.

It's going to be super fun to find out the REAL immunity in the Boomer group because a couple people with Monkeypox had been vaccinated against small pox. One I believe was in the 90's. When this report everyone was sort of shocked because it was well pas the point where it was mandated.

The US now has cases in 19 States in ONE MONTH. The WHO is saying we need to act with speed to get this under control, and basically you can see how things are going to go from the above tweet. As usual... the US is like LOL! The pox is actually spreading faster than COVID SARS-2.

I'm actually cool with everything right now because I think this is a self resolving problem. We should have stopped requiring masks year one. No one learned anything from the training wheel phase. And worse! Workers have ZERO protections. I mean, I'm starting to read stories of doctors being denied disability benefits for long COvID SARS-2. Super fucked up.

The housing crisis is jealous with envy.

"In April 2022, Palm Springs home prices were up 40.4% compared to last year, selling for a median price of $640K. On average, homes in Palm Springs sell after 23 days on the market compared to 37 days last year. There were 190 homes sold in April this year, down from 240 last year."

When everyone was out doing premature victory laps, I was wondering what happens when they figure out that we were in recession the whole time and the only reason it didn't seem like it was because we were printing soooooo much money. Nothing new was created. But everyone was just spending their stimmies like it was the roaring 20's. Because that pesky pandemic was just on the cusp of being over. Said in the most sarcastic way.

Even worse.....the government put in place all sorts of eviction moratoriums that put a floor on prices going down. The rental moratorium doesn't even end (at least here) until June 30. And it's hard to tell exactly where the foreclosure moratorium stands because of the way it written.

Then the Fed comes in and drops a nuke on the housing market. I mean, mortgage company layoffs started like 3 weeks ago. Now the Fed just blew the everything bubble completely out of the water for inflation they can not fix. It is primarily driven by labor shortages. Literally everyone it out sick.

Now layoffs have accelerated sharply. Tesla is laying off 10,000. Construction will be next. And we get to find out what fun exciting creative financing caused Palm Springs houses to go up 40% in one year. Everywhere else at least 20%. Because that happens in the middle of a Pandemic when nothing new happened except creating money out of thin air.

Also... lots of finance guys seem to be confused why the economy isn't responding like the 20's. Maybe it's because the way the media talked about the lockdowns. Gyms and nail salons got all of the attention, but pretty much every place else was open. 

I don't really know what the plan is now because we were never NOT in recession. The government just basically backstopped everyone with FORGIVEN PPP loans and when the spigot stops.........? People will find out the true nature of the economy. I'd say the last two years were completely lost. We haven't made a single bit of progress.

I think it's funny.

This is what people voted for. I don't care how bad it gets. 

I've reached a new phase because I love it when people can't shift the consequences of their choices.

820 Days in...

And still this:

When will COVID-19 start to fade away? Experts say Houston is in the midst of another surge

"The wastewater right now, the COVID is just as bad as it was late August, early September, which was a major surge. It is not quite as bad as the omicron surge in early January," McDeavitt explained. 

COVID concern has become less for a lot of people, but one question we would all like to know the answer to: When will this virus finally be just another sickness we have to deal with? 

"I can't predict exactly when that's going to occur. I think we are probably a surge or two away from that happening. Perhaps as we get through this winter, I think it's going to be fully baked into sort of our background psyche...It's going to be with us forever. I think we are within probably weeks to months of having it just in the background like all of the other infectious diseases we always have to deal with," McDeavitt said."

You have to excuse me for being extra surly lately. I've spent the last year being completely canceled from society by people who just don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

People like me have been called neurotic, controlling,  safety cult, Karen, sheep. Just name a few. Just for telling people the truth the whole time.

Now..... you've got your wish. This is what endemic means for COVID. Good job everyone. This is the BEST it gets. Just wait till you see what version 4 and 5 do.

And then these asshole "experts" saying we are just a surge or two away from it being nothing. I thought the last version was the offramp version. 

I literally see people all the time that take these experts opinions and don't protect themselves. People who CLEARLY should be. If I can see you have diabetes from just looking at you - maybe you are the first person that needs protection. And these are not fatties. They are skinny old guys who have bandages on their calves and that weird diabetes color creeping up their legs. But.... it's their choice.

I just can't take this stupidity anymore.

I'm so tired. America basically deserves what it gets at this point because of these clowns. We are living the real life Idiocracy movie.

So... this morning I log in to see wha the internets are saying and hit this article.

Diseases suppressed during Covid are coming back in new and peculiar ways.

"As the Covid-19 pandemic and resultant social restrictions have abated in much of the world, other viruses are rearing their heads in new and unusual ways. 

Influenza, Respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, tuberculosis and monkeypox are among a number of viruses to have spiked and exhibited strange behaviors in recent months.   <----

Health experts say Covid-19 restrictions could have reduced exposure and lowered immunity to infectious diseases, making society more vulnerable to new outbreaks."

FFS! Lockdowns have reduced exposure too TB?!? A very infectious disease that we basically eradicated.  Now they are normalized living with TB? 

I just can't even when people don't even know what diseases we are suppose to reduce exposure too. Also they stopped vaccinating in 2005 because we had eradicated it!

The whole chin diaper thing is going to be funny with this one. Let's see how we are fixing this. Herd immunity? Moving on?

This is not slowing down.

I'm pretty sure there was a reason our ancestors didn't decide to live with communicable diseases. The government printing GOBS of money gave the illusion that wave after wave of illness isn't going to decimate business and "living with COvid" was going to to be just fine and dandy. 

I mean, seriously.... what "tools" do they have to fight a downturn at this point after handing people almost 100 grand completely tax free?

Now, we are trying to make sense of a new threat. Monkeypox has reached 15 States as of this morning. Even my county has a case now. Instead of this slowing down... it does seem to be accelerating. 

While trying to make sense of all the reports - an interesting (IMO) case popped up. Because everyone is searching for pustules.  This guy apparently didn't get ANY of that. Not like it matters at all because the Texas case got right on a plane from Mexico after he was told he has the POX.

At any rate....I think it's pretty likely this gets crazy because we obviously have some asymptomatic spread. 

Also, there is starting to be some pretty serious talk about lab manipulation with the POX. All experts now say it is highly unusual for this virus to mutate the way it currently is. It would take 50 years in the wild as it's had a fairly stable mutation rate. Something like one or to a year. This one has some 40 odd mutations.

But.. I see people all over saying what hypochondriacs we are. Good luck with that. Virus always wins.  It seems like America is taking the same lazy path on the pox. Other countries warning us, and the US just saying LOL.

Let's see how funny it is when the government isn't printing GOBS of money.

People are poorly adapted to pain.

They will do the craziest things to avoid it, even if it drags the problem out for much longer. They ALWAYS refuse the hard short path in favor of the slightly milder indefinite pain path. It's the craziest thing. It's why the housing crisis lasted so long. And it's why what we are going through now is not going away any time soon.

I find it very hard to find things to post about because i think everyone is living in a complete fantacy.

For instance....I think most of this inflation talk is bullshit. Oh - prices certainly ARE high. But what do you expect when the government FORGIVES 4.1 MILLION PPP loans. Average loan? 95,700. There is always a point in a crisis when you feel like a real chump and this is certainly it. There were many times in the housing crisis that losers got handouts. Those people squandered it anyway, and basically that's what is happening now. Everyone thinks they are a genius when the government is handing out free money. And even worse..... the requirement of PPP loan forgiveness was too spend 60% on staff.

What do you think happens when they can't continue employing those people because it wasn't based on increased earnings?

It was super perplexing during the pandemic that every business staffed WAY up.  Based ENTIRELY on nothing more than a one time benefit.

So....we are three years into this pandemic, and we aren't really too further along. I'd say we are much worse off. I mean, we have two countries (The UK and Canada) that are freaking out about how newly disabled people are going to swamp the system. Thank goodness this is all just a bad cold.

don't worry!

 

Trump should run on just blowing up the CDC. Because they clearly do not know how to control disease.

I wanted to show everyone how Australian HACK doctors are talking about the monkeypox outbreak. Our media will be doing exactly the same thing soon. We just don't have enough cases yet. These same types of hacks said COVID would never get into the US.

The article starts out with a fake narrative of someone being "terrified" of catching the Pox. The "doctors" reply? 

"Hi Sharon, remember when you were a kid being terrified of the monster under the bed? Most of your terror came from the unknown, and you would imagine the creature below from spooky shadows and mysterious sounds creaking throughout the night. Do you remember when all that terror was put to bed when all you had to do was check underneath and see nothing was there? The Monkeypox virus has become your new monster under the bed. In order to calm yourself down, you need to be informed of what it actually is, its potential danger to yourself and others, and how to limit transmission. "

The message? You are just being a big fat pussy. You are imagining things.

Now to the infuriating part.

Is monkeypox dangerous? 

"Now to the danger of monkeypox. Let’s start out by saying there are treatments and vaccines that work for it – so at this stage no need to worry about waiting a year for one to be made if it turns into a worldwide pandemic. With monkeypox, vaccination will only be needed for individual cases and due to its incubation period of up to 21 days, close contacts. There will be no need for a widespread vaccination effort as at this stage it requires contact of a susceptible person with body fluids.

The transmission rate for monkeypox is also very low – with only about 3 per cent of contacts being infected. '

If you type treatment monkeypox into google - this is the FIRST thing that comes up!@

"At this time, there are no specific treatments available for monkeypox infection, but monkeypox outbreaks can be controlled. Smallpox vaccine, cidofovir, ST-246, and vaccinia immune globulin (VIG) can be used to control a monkeypox outbreak. "

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

Lemme tell you... when this first hit I was like - oh yeah I will get that vaccination. everyone had it when I was a kid. But then you start reading about it and you can see why they stopped giving it. At the time (in 2002) they called it the most dangerous vaccine on earth!

The minute that virus got on a plane - the world became fucked. Last night there are something like over 900 cases in 30! countries.

When this first hit, all the virologists I follow said - either the virus has changed or we have changed. I think it might be both. And I don't think I am vaccinated. I would have been too young. If school didn't force the vaccination I didn't get it. We weren't anti vax. We were poor.

51% of people voted for this.

I haven't really been bitching about the Biden Administration because... I'm sort of enjoying it. Not the policies, but I think it's only fitting that he will die on the hills he created. His green energy policies can't really be fudged right now. And I love that to death.

So... I guess... let them eat cake?

Also.. this is the most expensive gas I know of. I thought I would run into some really pricey ones on my trip North, but gas is actually really reasonable up there. Comparatively.

Also... China opened yesterday so we get to see how fun this gets.
