Segregation could be the answer.
Everyone in Israel, Gaza, West Bank gets identified, recorded on a national data base then is issued with a forge-proof photo ID card..."Jew" or "Arab".
The West Bank and Gaza are absorbed into Israel.
Only Jews allowed to be in Israel, everyone else must relocate to other countries.

You plan on moving everyone else out by railcar?

No.
But what's there now sure isn't working.....Arabs v Jews.

Is this, while perfectly cool if it is not - a sort of political maneuver to get more to have the vaccine?   The clear message with the chart that is being circulated - all green as in GO on the one (vaccintaed) - and all cloudy, fuzzy with colors on the other - is  that GETTING VACCINATED = FREEDOM.

In a country where most will be vaccinated and the counts will be so low, is this fair to those who really do feel they have good reason to not vaccinate?


"Most" as in 70%, being vaccinated doesn't create herd immunity, which doesn't happen until you reach something like 85-90% of a population immunized.  If, say, 30% refuse vax for whatever reason, we will have a chronic recurring spread of covid and its variants, and "freedom" will involve a lot of misery.  Call me crazy, but seems like not having to worry about any further covid would be a really delightful form of freedom.  Let's all put politics aside and come together to rid ourselves of this virus by getting vaxxed.
How many people had Covid and developed natural antibodies.?

Not enough to create herd immunity.   And many didn't create enough antibodies, and had longterm covid,  or are prone to reinfection by a variant after some months.  That's  why they need a vaccine which really enhances antibody production.
So you disagree with Fauci? What science supports you?

Quote
We get flu shots and other immunizations  for similar reasons.   Keeps you from getting really sick,  and boosts antibodies, and decisively ends the outbreak of a widespread disease.
Then get your shot.

Nobody should receive the death penalty for missing a bond hearing or for being mentally ill, as the senator from SC has said.

If only the police could figure that out.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/14/politics/arizona-2020-audit-pause/index.html

The clown show that is Arizona's "audit" of the 2020 presidential contest was to be done by today.

Instead, the ballots are being moved out until May 23, because they are nowhere near being done. They are proposing that they will wrap up swiftly when they resume counting, but they would have to be far faster to make their next deadline. It seems grossly unlikely.

I wish the AZ GOP had a performance clause in their contract with Cyber Ninja, as the company seems consistently ill-equipped to carry out the task they have been hired to complete.

Can someone repost this as I believe Red has me on iggy.

thanks and tack on whatever vaccine questions you may have

as an aside I was in a large supermarket in NJ today and was chatting (masked) with the store manager and asked him if "Kings" had any plans to drop its masking provision and he said, "no" and that they were waiting for guidance from NJ before acting on CDC's "safe if vacced" honor system guidance.


Red

have you had covid?

if no, did you wear and mask and social distance when in public?

And for how long (for example I've worn a mak since early March 2020)

have you received the vaccine?

if no, what are your reasons for not getting vaccinated?

in general do you believe most vaccines developed for decades are safe?

Are you advising friends and family to get vaccinated for covid?

I don't care if someone doesn't want to get vaccinated.  Doesn't bother me.

This is debatable now when you combine it with the # vaccinated

Mahlagha was born in Iran, then she came here to San Diego, California. The Persians love California.

There are good people in the Middle East who we can support.

You cannot just build a wall and say that everyone is bad if they are muslim. We need to find the peaceful people who we can support, and we need to support peace in the Middle East.
