This is from Jeff Foxworhty who has the same manager as Bil Engvall and Larry the cable guy;
THE STUPID SIGN
Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, “I’m Stupid.” That way you wouldn’t rely on them, would you? You wouldn’t ask them anything. It would be like, “Excuse me… oops… never mind, didn’t see your sign.”
It’s like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My neighbor comes over and says, “Hey, you moving?” “Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here’s your sign.”
A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big ol’ stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, “Hey, y’all catch all them fish?” “Nope. Talked ’em into giving up. Here’s your sign.”
I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there’s only one way to test it. “Alright, Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good… They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you.” “Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don’t wanna lose it.”
Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, “Tire go flat?” I couldn’t resist. I said, “Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me. Here’s your sign.”
We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then says, “Darn that’s hot!” See, if he’d been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.
I learned to drive an 18-wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn’t you know, I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn’t get it out, no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning… okay… no problem. I thought for sure he was clear of needing a sign…until he asked, “So, is your truck stuck?” I couldn’t help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and then back to him and said, “No, I’m delivering a bridge… here’s your sign.”
I stayed late at work one night and a co-worker looked at me and said, “Are you still here?” I replied, “No. I left about 10 minutes ago. Here’s your sign.”
Anybody you know need a sign today?
The next time someone says something stupid ask them where their sign is

The scam is using false data to scare people by counting people who die of cancer or other cause as a Covid19 death. The UK is doing it and so is NY and CA. Getting you to wear that mask because it creates fear when it does not prevent spread of germs. When you pull it off, you touch your face. Counting only the people who show symptoms and tested and not counting the people who have had it who did not know they had it and were not tested and cponted in the survey. This virus has become political and lot of false data to make it look worse than a previous virus. I will say a lot of the numbers fall under the never waste a crisis to advance your agenda plan. Nueces county sadly has had one death. A lady from Robstown. She was hospitalized with covid-19. She recovered in spite of her advanced age of 74 and multiple other serious health problems she had ongoing previously. So she was released from hospital. Sometime later she had abdominal issues from her ongoing health issues and sadly passed away from that issue. How is her death listed? You guessed it....covid-19 statistic. Not saying its not a deadly virus but so are others and the numbers are being inflated and have been since the first predictions models saying the U.S. could expect 2 million deaths from it.

Wow, don’t give me much credit. You mention AM junky, yes I go to the truth Doctor Rush Limbaugh on his website. I want the facts. I researched the UT study that does not match up well with the Stanford study. There is another in depth study by another California U. That matches up well with the Stanford study. The state of Texas has lowest percent deaths per million than other states. The politicians trying to scare you into voting for their guy are quoting high number of deaths and blaming it on the guy they want to boot out of office, The facts keep coming up that this virus is less dangerous than the previous one. It is premature before more testing is done and organized but the ones who want their guy put in office and kick the other guy out of office are running a Scam to scare you to side with them. Pick your poison. Gamble and open back up or continue the shutdown and watch people starve and commit sucide or die from a robbery. Again, 17 deaths in one nursing home in SA in your eyes is just a big political scam?? I do not doubt that this has become political to some extent as most things that end up costing lives, trillions of dollars, or both ALWAYS will. But the fact is that it is killing people at a high rate and what I read yesterday they believe that rate to be between 10X & 20X the rate of the most flu viruses. So, when the flu kills between 5k & 90k people a year in the US I will take a virus that is killing at a much higher rate serious even if you don't.

I do agree that they are doing this way too much. But the numbers are also skewed the other way in that the actual number of cases have to be much, MUCH higher than reported due to the low number of tests still being given. That said, the death rate probably is much lower than the numbers being given simply because there have been MANY people who have had this virus that never knew they had it. The bottom line is this is serious and I do believe that if the government hadn't stepped in and closed businesses where people gather I think we would be seeing what NY saw in a lot more cities right now. We all know we cannot continue to stay shut down without it causing a HUGE recession or even worse so the question is when is the time to open things back up fully? I know if they opened up restaurants tomorrow you would not find me in one yet!

Anyone that thinks all this misinformation is not a political scam, Jeff Foxworthy has a sign to hang around your neck. I’m assuming you are elderly, or at least retired. Why don’t you go catch this virus and tell us how it works out for you. If you are able to when it’s all over. The elderly deserve our respect and attentiveness to not spread this anymore than we have to. I’d like to be able to see my parents again some day.

Agreed but I think there is too much use of scary numbers without realization of how they compare to other ongoing causes considered normal but not normally headline news.

Purp yes I am 82. The only thing that walks back from the grave is a man's character, the only thing you take with you when you die is your relatives. Yes you will see your parents again.

Interesting comparison.
Sweeden was criticized for not shutting down and their theory is no matter what you do you will have the same results. Sweeden is about the same size and the same population as Michigan who has the most stringent rules of any state during the pandemic and Michigan has 1,000 more deaths than Sweeden.

This is not minimizing the serious issues with this virus and CHINA should be punished harshly for their misdeed. But I bet this example you just used is where you can follow the money. Let me put it to you this way. Treatment for what she went into the hospital for the second time would get reimbursed by Medicare at a much lower rate vs COVID-19. The CDC so much gave the green light to go ahead and do this with deaths involving COVID-19 ( or just possible exposure not a confirmed diagnosis) and pre existing conditions without question. Hospitals and other facilities are losing out on money for other procedures thanks to the this, so the government green lighting this effectively allows them to make up for some lost revenue.

We all know we cannot continue to stay shut down without it causing a HUGE recession or even worse so the question is when is the time to open things back up fully? I know if they opened up restaurants tomorrow you would not find me in one yet! The shutdowns should have been done in scale compared to concentration of the cases of COVID-19. The NYC area accounts for a huge chunk of the issue and policy makers molded a response based on what was going on there. In other words, we would not be in this massive nationwide shut down had the concentration of COVID-19 had been here in Texas or a few states who are neighbors like Flordia, Georgia, SC. In fact if NYC and Washington had been left relatively untouched by this with minor cases compared to their populations, they would not stand for one minute for being shutdown and would demand the same expedience to get things open as many of us uneducated hicks and idiots in fly over country are asking for. The same idiots and unwashed who have risked our life savings into business recently and don't live off hedge funds and other sources of income like many do in NYC. You can take that to the bank! Again, this is not minimizing the virus at all and the special precautions in all fifty states should be done to minimize risk to those who are most at risk of death or other long term complications. Because the recession is already here and we are knocking on the door of a depression if we don't find a way to get things somewhat back on track which is going to be a HUGE issue in itself when you have some people really banking money with unemployment benefits.

I think what you are saying if it was us deplorables getting hit, the Democrat Hedge fund mgrs would not want a shutdown.

My great grandson will be on the Rouse Varsity next year and they had high expectations for improvement next year. That may have gone down the drain.
