Re: "The Media is Overhyping This"

As of Tuesday, December 8 - This was Colorado Gives Day, and Colorado gave up 14 more bodies to state morgues

Dear Donna - I see you doubled down this morning and drug your whole family into the coronavirus tent.  Just because you had no symptoms, just because your children had no symptoms, does not mean others will have no symptoms, and absolutely does not mean long-term your children will not experience sequelae years later (think of shingles, or post-polio syndrome).  One of the symptoms of contracting coronavirus is, unfortunately, an inability to breathe, leading to death.  Above are the latest numbers, which I don't think are overhyped, since this comes from worldometers.org, which doesn't have a media arm.   

Why don't you spend some time at the bedside of someone on a ventilator before you start advising people how they should live their lives?  You're immune, now, right?

And you are correct, more people will recover from COVID-19 than will die from COVID-19.  This is also true of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the total number of Jews in the world, or those liberated from concentration camps, versus those who died in concentration camps between 1939 and 1945.  I'm not sure of your point, though, and I truly hope you understand that when 300,000 people die from something eminently preventable, it is not a glorious landmark year in America's history.  We will not be celebrating your ignorance next December, I promise.  

Your best response when confronted with death is not to deny it, but to shut your mouth if you can't offer anything better.  Please, please, I know you love publicity, but your message is one of harm, not help.  Shut up.


Update on Thursday, December 8 - Yesterday's Colorado contribution to the body count (above)

      How large a hammer must be wielded before some grasp reality? The truth is there are some so blind they refuse to see; so what are the consequences?

Getting Hostiles

Image
According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs. According to IMDb The railway station at Chama, New Mexico served as the stand-in for Butte, Montana.  Chama is about 50 miles away from Pagosa Springs, and Pagosa Springs definitely sent some of its own down to Chama to serve as extras, one of whom is currently pedaling coal from the Chama location on Ebay. A big-budget movie filming in a community of 2000 is generally a newsworthy event.  Filming of Hostiles took place in the summer of 2016, and Pagosa Springs' newspaper of record, the Sun , made no mention of stars Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, or director Scott Cooper hanging out at P

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
