the case had reached them. They issued an order on the church‘s motion for injunctive relief. there is more than one way to get to the Supreme Court.

A motion for innovative relief. No decision of the merits of the case had been decided by a trial court, an appeals court, or the supreme court. No decision about the actual case had been made at all.

I'm finished discussing this, it has absolutely nothing to do with COVID-19.

Not to change the subject about the Constitutionality of closing churches, but I finally know someone who had the covid. All good news. She is over 50, with multiple pre-existing conditions and has recovered after a tough time. After how many months, that is the first in my immediate circle of acquaintances that has gotten covid.

Interestingly enough, neither her son or daughter got covid, even while living in the same house. I remain confused and baffled. The children are 29 and 17 (I know a big age difference). How can they be immune to such a contagious disease? Her getting a false positive? Getting her short stay in the hospital counted as covid? Or their immunity was due to their age?

On another note about covid. I have a guy that works at Lowes. The last time I was there I asked him how many employees at the store have come down with covid. Again after these months of covid, none have gotten it. And last week was the first time the employees were required to wear masks. As we were talking thorough our masks another employee came up and did say he went to get tested and left after he found out it was going to take a while (I do not remember the exact length of time) He did fill out the paperwork and got informed he tested positive.

As an engineer, I am baffled by covid. I do not believe what Facebook or Twitter has to offer. But something does not add up.

(I think I had a previous post deleted, I feel privileged)

Huh? It has everything to do with COVID-19 - it’s about a state issuing orders to allow casinos and movies to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those were deemed safe activities that won’t contribute to the spread of the disease while other organizations (with significantly smaller numbers of people) were denied the ability to operate. I don’t understand how 1 side is deemed safe but the other isn’t. It seems to me if someone wants to slow the spread and wants to shut down gatherings of people to that end, you’d have to do all of them (or none of them).

I’m with you. Hard to square up the sensational news coverage and the stringent responses with what I’ve seen in my circle.

Really strange that nobody at a large company like Lowes would not have a positive, but we went almost 3 months with the same deal now we have some pockets of activity, some days infuriatingly high numbers of secondary contacts getting quarantined. There’s a hispanic market, a group of lesbians and a sizable party crowd that hangs out That’s leading the charge. Other than that it has been cases of foreign travel visitors that’s caused the bulk of the rest. We’ve had family members positive, by far the largest percentage is nursing home followed again by the party crowd then people with northeast connections that either visited or they came down here.

Yay. It only took a couple of pages for the I know a guy who waited to take a test and left because it took too long but tested positive meme to come back. In this particular case it’s even more entertaining because it was apparently a store employee who apparently felt bad enough to get tested but then just went to work.

Are you calling him a liar?

So, there is absolutely zero possibility that both are telling the truth? It is with 100% certainty that either one of those two gentlemen are lying? That's what you're going with?

Yes. After seeing the same story with very slight differences told many many times by many different people I am fine claiming at this point that it’s very likely to be untrue. If people here blankly believe it every time they hear it then I am going to start to question the intelligence level on this board.

Do you personally believe that the thousands of people who have regurgitated that meme are all telling the truth?

Can you prove that it didn't happen? Where are all your liberal fact-checkers that are always so willing to debunk all the right-wing conspiracy theories? Surely, they would be all over this one.

How do you fact check a second hand account? That’s the whole reason that this story is always I talked to someone and they told me this. It’s never, this happened to me.

Actually, what you just described is validation of the truth. If this were a crime scene, and the investigators were gathering eyewitness testimonies, they would expect everyone's story to be a little different, but altogether they would point back to the actual event.

I've never had coronavirus. No one in my family has ever had coronavirus. I have only heard about people who had coronavirus. Therefore, coronavirus doesn't exist. Did I do it right?

Perhaps it's just that erroneous positive test results are widespread and becoming a problem?
