I did not write this – but I wish I had.

A great facebook message. But no questions? Here are mine.

Who is at fault? – Some suggestions lately it could be aliens. You might want to blame the Chinese, the WHO – even our good friend to the south Donald Trump – quoted as saying at one point: “What’s the problem?” ….The Chinese leader is my friend he is doing a good job….

Who is in charge of the info, THE fear Machine – government – all elected to serve and protect us.

Do we do as told? YES

Do we trust them? NO or I do not.

All my curves are starting to flatten – have been locked in my cave with no food or fun.

Let us get serious – Let us talk to March and April – in lockdown.

Let us do something different in May and June, July and August.

Wow….. back to September and THE fear Machine returns, no beaches, no swimming, no hugging, no handshakes, no school, no business, no employment…… when will see that money cannot be printed to solve this problem

If you do not have a real buy and sell market – there is $0000.00 left to spend

Toast.

A couple of quick questions????? Has anyone died in Oliver of Covis-19. Did anyone in Oliver get a Covis-19 virus while in Oliver?

Are the clinics, Doctor’s offices full of C19 problems? How many beds available at SOGH for the onslaught that never came?

How many people in Oliver involved in THE fear Machine – to defend statements in BC that are just  NOT true or verifiable  with statistics.

Where are the facts and why do we put our nose on the TV screen each day to hear more info nand numbers that really do not relate to ALL the facts about normal morbidity, where people are dying , where people are being housed in close contact.

You will not hear them from Your: MP, the MLA, the Mayor, the regional director or the dog catcher.

 

But you will see alternative thoughts on ODN.
