An Inconvenient Truth

An inconvenient truth, this one real, has been, alas, let out of the bag by another Tennessean.

After the bombshell news report out of Nashville yesterday, I wrote Tennessee Governor Bill Lee another letter, as seen below:

Governor Lee,
    I would like to know how long Tennesseans are going to be held hostage by your Executive Orders? I had hopes that you would exhibit a little more common sense than some governors in other states who only seem to want to see how much control they can exert over their citizens. Which, in states such as New York, New Jersey, Michigan, via their orders to send Covid patients into nursing homes, sentenced many others in those nursing homes with 2-3 and more serious underlying conditions to death.
     IF this Covid virus was as deadly as some would have us believe, WHY is it necessary, as I asked you before, to pad the numbers and hide them when they go lower than SOMEONE wants? Most recent case in point here in Tennessee is the Nashville Health Department in collusion with the Mayor's aide doing some of this hiding.
     To illustrate the point I also pointed out of padding numbers, I give you this. I grew up when children routinely contracted childhood diseases and developed immunity. Yes, some died, and some ALSO die from vaccines. So if a blood test on me showed antibodies to say, mumps or measles, with absolutely no other symptoms of those diseases, would I then be classified as a 'case' of mumps or measles? This is the ludicrous position health departments across the country have been taking in regard to Covid.
      Most people who can read with a modicum of understanding can see that is what is happening. Thus the resistance to taking a test, not EVEN mentioning the staggering number of false positives.
      My very strong opinion is that you should not wait until September 30 to lift these restrictions on the freedom of your constituents.

In case you missed the story, which if you only watch the mainstream (so called, they are far from mainstream) media's oh-so-smart anchors and reporters, you very well could have missed it. Here it is: 

And, in case you can't read it, these are emails between the Nashville/Davidson Co Health Department and one of Nashville Mayor Cooper's advisors. Apparently the numbers of 'cases' were not high enough to suit these two gentlemen so the advisor asked the question in larger type. So now we know the truth in one place. WHAT about all the others?

Oh no, moment

I was relaxing in my hotel room for a few minutes between sessions of the Killer Nashville Writers' Conference. The sound of a siren came through the window, not unusual, emergency vehicles had whizzed up and down Cool Springs Blvd. regularly since I'd arrived. The hotel being just off I-65 probably contributed to their frequency. I got up, walked to the window and saw a fire truck, lights ablaze, coming up the driveway of the hotel. Uh oh, not a sight you really want to see when you're looking down from the 11th floor. I'm pretty sure their ladders don't reach that high. I was somewhat reassured that I wasn't hearing any alarms going off inside the hotel. A few seconds later an ambulance with flashing lights came up the driveway behind the fire truck. I watched for several minutes but saw no others screaming up or down Cool Springs. Okay, I know when a large structure like a hotel, hospital or high rise office building is involved they usually send people and trucks from every station for miles around. And in many municipalities fire departments send out a truck and firemen/women trained as paramedics as first responders. So probably no fire. Someone in the hotel must have fallen or had a heart attack. Unfortunate and I hope they're okay, but I am relieved I don't have to grab purse and rush to the stairway.
