Welcome to day one of my required fourteen day quarantine

Similar to the movie Groundhog day, this day is on perpetual repeat for me and millions of other Americans

Welcome to day one of my required fourteen day quarantine

As is evident in my social media posts and writing to this point, I am in the camp that thinks we have probably gone too far with what is essentially a nationwide lockdown. the damage to the economy and small businesses is profound. The costs of delayed treatment to preserve health capacity for the COVID peak will be calculated for years to come. And many of us have been living a perpetual fourteen days of quarantine. We live with essential employees.

For millions of Americans, they or someone in their household is an essential employee. I have two such family members. They get in their car, leave and go to work with members of the public for hours at a time. Because they venture out anyway, they also do the necessary shopping and errand running. The rest of us  limit ourselves to walking the dog and going to walk at the local park.

Then they come home and we interact pretty much as we always have as a family. The biggest changes are a change of clothes, a shower and increased hand washing. However, we do not not maintain six feet between us at the dinner table, while watching TV or navigating our lives together. It is is allergy season in Georgia. We even have occasional coughs and sneezes into a tissue or our sleeve. I imagine many households are in a similar situation.

The biggest change is the precautions we take to protect our loved ones who may be in a high risk category. We don’t visit my parents in person and likely will not in the foreseeable future. Our full family gathering in late summer is on pause for now as well. I will likely not see one of my best friends who is on long term topical chemo until something changes.

We understand either one of these essential workers could be inadvertently carrying this virus in their nasal passages and pass it to us at home. Their employers have implemented precautions, but the risk is still there. We also know they could carry it and never have so much as a sniffle. Never mind a fever or shortness of breath. Clearly this was the case for thousands in Santa Clara, Los Angeles and New York based on early antibody testing.

For families like mine, every day is day one of the recommended fourteen day quarantine. Our essential employees could have been infected on any day they go to work in spite of the precautions they take. So we act as if we are infected towards those at high risk. And we continue to live our life at home in largely normal ways. This is why I find the apocalyptic freak out related to reopening the economy so ridiculous.

All the states that are moving in this direction are doing so using precautions similar to those taken by my essential employees at work. Masks, distancing and reduced capacity indoors along with upgraded sanitation are all in the plans for reopening businesses. I fail to see how I am in any more jeopardy from my hairdresser. We will be both wearing masks and I will be six feet away from other clients. I am in my own family room unmasked every night of the week.

Further the recommendations nationwide clearly state that those in high risk populations are under the same recommendations they have been. If you are over 60 or have pre-existing conditions, the same stay at home measures are still the guidance. Nursing homes and hospitals will still be extremely limited to visitors. And no one is pushing people who don’t want to go out through their front door.

However, it is unrealistic to expect people to stay locked in their homes until there is a cure or a vaccine. Either one of these could be years away. We need to find ways to navigate the world that protects the most vulnerable. Meanwhile we need to allow those who can and wish to to return to some semblance of a normal life. This may shock you, but Americans all assess their personal risk in different ways. And millions of Americans deemed essential employees and their families have been taking the risk of contracting COVID-19 the entire time.

So screaming at people like me about not caring about elderly people dying or putting you at risk is not going to phase us. We have been managing living with the risk of contracting COVID-19 for months while protecting our loved ones at higher risk.

Nothing about managing COVID-19 going forward is a binary choice between staying locked down and throwing 80 year olds into a crowded movie theater. And if you present it as such you are simply being dishonest. And millions of us are just not going to take you seriously.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?

Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.

There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.

Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.

Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.

We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.

To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.

Thank you, and God Bless!
