How do you figure?

.... has a champion been named yet... is it a playoff system or what?

Easy there Chief...

It's so unlike young people to laugh in the face of authority
Still time to get in Savell

No vaccine is needed. Just wear a mask and you're good.

Ok, seen a lot of threads on here about “herd immunity” and how we need it to spread so we could all get back to work and normal lives...and now someone does it and everyone condemns them. This is about as good as CNN.

Well there's all different kinds of people on here, Wannabe. You have the people who think you're an arse if you leave the house without a mask on, and then the people that think the entire thing is a hoax. I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't agree with shutting the country down, and it should be up to the person whether or not they wear a mask. But I also was taught as a child not to tempt fate. I think these kids will be fine, but if they visit elderly family members, they may not be.

Hey- don't forget you cant go to Trump rallies either. SMDH

The judge overseeing the law suit against the IL gov just reopened the state. The gov clearly overreached his authority.

For those who don't like to click on links, everyone should read this:

Chief Judge Michael McHaney of Clay County had this to say at the conclusion of the case he heard yesterday afternoon (Mainer v Pritzker) in the Clay County courtroom:

“Since the inception of this insanity, the following regulations, rules or consequences have occurred: I won't get COVID if I get an abortion, but I will get COVID if I get a colonoscopy. Selling pot is essential, but selling goods and services at a family owned business is not. Pot wasn't even legal and pot dispensaries didn't even exist in this state until five months ago and, in that five months, they have become essential, but a family-owned business in existence for five generations is not.

A family of six can pile in their car and drive to Carlyle Lake without contracting COVID but, if they all get in the same boat, they will. We are told that kids rarely contract the virus and sunlight kills it, but summer youth programs, sports programs are cancelled. Four people can drive to the golf course and not get COVID but, if they play in a foursome, they will. If I go to Walmart, I won't get COVID but, if I go to church, I will. Murderers are released from custody while small business owners are threatened with arrest if they have the audacity to attempt to feed their families.

These are just a few of examples of rules, regulations and consequences that are arbitrary, capricious, and completely devoid of anything even remotely approaching common sense.

State's attorneys in this state, county sheriffs, mayors, city councils and county boards have openly and publicly defied these orders followed by threats to withhold funding and revocation of necessary licenses and certifications unless you obey. Our economy is shut down because of a flu virus with a 98 percent plus survival rate. Doctors and experts say different things weekly. The defendant cites models in his opposition. The only thing experts will agree on is that all models are wrong and some are useful.

The Centers for Disease Control now says the virus is not easily spread on surfaces. The defendant in this case orders you to stay home and pronounces that, if you leave the state, you are putting people in danger, but his family members traveled to Florida and Wisconsin because he deems such travel essential. One initial rationale why the rules don't apply to him is that his family farm had animals that needed fed. Try selling that argument to farmers who have had to slaughter their herds because of disruption in the supply chain.

When laws do not apply to those who make them, people are not being governed, they are being ruled. Make no mistake, these executive orders are not laws. They are royal decrees. Illinois citizens are not being governed, they are being ruled. The last time I checked, Illinois citizens are also Americans and Americans don't get ruled. The last time a monarch tried to rule Americans, a shot was fired that was heard around the world. That day led to the birth of a nation consensually governed based upon a document which ensures that on this day in this, any American courtroom tyrannical despotism will always lose and liberty, freedom and the constitution will always win.”—Judge Michael D. McHaney, Clay County court, Mainer v. Pritzker, argued May 22, 2020.

Thank you, Judge McHaney. You said it beautifully.

That is some good comparisons in the article Walleye, those line of thoughts go hand in hand with the idea that to burn a persons house or business down will make him sympathetic to ones grievances, and to get even more sympathy to their grievance expect the taxpayer to pay for it.

Pox isn't deadly

All the repercussions on the young and the the damages are not known. I remember the polio days and no one was having polio parties. I remember if I just had a leg ache my mom would get all upset.

Actually 330, prior to vaccination chicken pox killed an average of 100-150 children per year according to the CDC. Pediatric deaths from Covid-19 were at 20 last I looked, though actual data from the CDC is very hard to find. Pediatric flu deaths for the 2019-2020 season were 174 as reported by the CDC. Can't remember ever shutting down the schools for the flu, which appears to be an order of magnitude more dangerous than Covid for children.

My hope would be that anyone that is foolish enough to take the stupid risk... will be granted their wish and the whole dam bunch of catch the virus and die a slow and painful death. They are a bunch of idiots. Actually their deaths would be a blessing to the gene pool.

Very high odds are that if they get the virus they will overcome it with little to no effects. They will likely be good to go for at least a few years. People play the lottery everyday with much poorer odds. I think their theory related to contracting/surviving this virus is smarter than most scared mask wearers.
