  • I will not comply

    In a race to see who can be the BEST at fighting COVID-19 the Village of Glenview just issued an executive order requiring people to wear masks in public spaces. I will not comply. This has gone far enough. If I’m refused service at any local business I simply will go somewhere else. I do…

  • Majority of patients not recovering after being put on ventilators

    Reported yesterday by NPR. Why haven’t we seen this all over the news? I’m not quite sure what to make of this and why it’s not bigger news. Most coronavirus patients who end up on ventilators go on to die, according to several small studies from the U.S., China and Europe. And many of the…

Do they plan on shooting the Coronavirus? What are the guns for? Bringing in the National Guard to help out with the medical response or keeping supply…

  • 2020-03-25 Chicago

    As promised I went to downtown Chicago just to walk around. Turns out it wasn’t much of an act of defiance as there were plenty of people doing the same thing. Sure, the crowds of tourists are gone and there is little traffic because all the businesses are closed. But, people who live in the…
