Kennita,
I encourage you to check out the info at
SWPRS.org/Facts-About-Covid-19. Lots of well-sourced data from mainstream &
scientific sources, but painting a different picture from the dominant
narrative being pushed on us. A sample:
Lethality: According to the latest immunological studies, the overall
infection fatality rate (IFR) of covid-19 in the general population is about
0.1% to 0.5% in most countries, which is most closely comparable to the
medium influenza pandemics of 1936, 1957 and 1968.
Treatment: For people at high risk or high exposure, early or prophylactic
treatment is essential to prevent progression of the disease. According to
numerous international studies, early outpatient treatment of covid may
reduce hospitalizations and deaths by about 75%.
Age profile: The median age of covid deaths is over 80 years in most Western
countries (78 in the US) and about 5% of the deceased had no serious
preconditions. The age and risk profile of covid mortality is therefore
comparable to normal mortality, but increases it proportionally.
Nursing homes: In many Western countries, about 50% of all covid deaths have
occurred in nursing homes, which require targeted and humane protection. In
some cases, care home residents died not from the coronavirus, but from weeks
of stress and isolation.
Excess mortality: To date, the pandemic increased mortality by 5% to 25% in
most Western countries. Up to 25% of the additional deaths were caused not by
covid, but by indirect effects of the pandemic and lockdowns (e.g. fewer
treatments of cancer and heart attack patients).
So the Libertarian motto is "Live Free AND Die” now? — sigh.
Live long and prosper - Kennita

Thanks, Bob. I'm potentially interested; it would largely depend on my
getting a ride from San Francisco.
There is also a freedom rally happening against the Covid restrictions that
day, from noon-2pm at the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center (flier
attached). If you don't get enough participants and decide not to do the
Pride event, you could encourage people to attend that.
Love & Liberty,

Hello, Bay Area Libertarians.
There is still a possibility of taking part in Silicon Valley Pride August
29.
I need to know how many volunteers I have. We may do the parade, the
booth, or both; depending on staffing.
Let me know if you want to be in the parade from 1000 to 1200, set up a
booth from 1000 to 1200, or staff the booth for some time from 1200 to
closing.
Your response will determine the decision to participate.
