What "Learning To Live With It" Really Means

As it becomes increasingly obvious that COVID-19 is becoming endemic if it isn't already, and that, try as we may, we clearly cannot eradicate this virus, there has been some confusion on what it really means when we say we need to "learn to live with the virus".  When we at the TSAP say that, this is what we mean:

What it does NOT include, in theory or practice:

  • Lockdowns of any degree or kind
  • Business restrictions of any kind
  • Mask mandates of any kind anywhere
  • Curfews of any kind
  • Antisocial distancing 
  • Gathering restrictions of any kind
  • Travel restrictions of any kind
  • School or university closures
  • Healthcare restrictions or denials
  • Red zones and green zones
  • Mass testing of asymptomatic people
  • Quarantine of asymptomatic people
  • Contact tracing, or test-and-trace apps
  • Vaccine mandates or coercion of any kind, anywhere 
  • COVID or health "passports" of any kind
  • Anything even remotely dystopian

What it includes:

  • Common sense
  • Early treatment and prophylaxis
  • General health and wellness 
  • Honesty and integrity 
  • Empathy and compassion 
  • Human rights
  • Liberty 
  • Personal responsibility 
  • Live and let live
In other words, we simply go cold turkey from all pandemic-related restrictions, adopt the "flu model", live our lives to the fullest, and move on.  Capisce?

And the best moral learned in the past two years?  NEVER, EVER, EVER try to meet insanity or tyranny in the middle!  You will ALWAYS lose when attempting to compromise with the purveyors of the official narrative.  Give them an inch, and they will take a mile every single time.  Lesson learned, the hard way.

UPDATE:  Yet another study finds that lockdowns did far more harm than good, and we should NEVER, EVER, EVER attempt to repeated it.  Like, ever.  In other news, water is wet and the sun rises in the east.

  1. One thousand percent true. WE THE SHEEPLE have been controlled, herded, browbeaten, pushed around, BULLIED to the point that we don't know if they are going to just en masse TAKE US AWAY where we'll never be heard from again. It's like all that we ever heard about Communist Russia from long ago, when Communists were labeled the most repressive tyrannnical govt on earth. Now we are under that regime while they have become 'normal' or 'fair.' We used to have freedom of body, while Noam Chomsky said we had that sort of freedom, but they worked to enslave our MINDS. Well, WE THE SHEEPLE got their minds enslaved & how? Through MEDIA. See next comment for the rest.

  2. In the mid 90’s when I began to study Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti & Howard Zinn – the dissidents – Chomsky explained that recently all the mainstream media of the world had about 27 owners. But this qas quickly consolidated where before long, only 5 CORPORATIONS owned the international media! And therefore, what people heard & usually believed {except for those who didn’t swallow it & sought ALTERNATIVE MEDIA} was WHAT THEY TOLD US, which was LIES & therefore BRAINWASHING. At first, it seemed fairly benign to the average person {but not to those in the know, they knew something was up – very bad – they knew we were heading for disaster & FEARED any edicts, new laws, rules, activities, INJECTIONS, anything & every thing our Knights in dull armour were doing.}
    The writing was on the web wall ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT John & Jane Sheeple DIDN’T LOOK. They watched mainstream news, mainstream publications, mainstream gossip, all a part of the brainwash. Lies followed lies, & lemmings ditto, right over the cliff. When ‘conspiracy nuts’ like myself spoke, we were laughed at, told what we said was ‘out there,’ – like Noah who warned of a coming flood & built his ship over many years, hahahaha what a nut they said. Then the rains came, 40 days, 40 nights, wouldn’t stop. But he had gotten those he could save, two by two animals, shoved them into his ark & away they floated, too bad for those left behind, let them laugh.
    OK, the flood is beginning, the rain is hard. We might get engulfed soon where we don’t know what will become of us. The best people were fooled, all because they believed the demons disguised as sheep were sheep. It was wishful thinking. No one wants to believe in the God awful, disastrous, frightening, deadly TRUTH. It’s too ugly & it DEMANDS ACTION.
    Now WHAT DO WE DO?
    Evil men do not go away because you ask them to. The women’s movement was a battle,; women FOUGHT BACK. Had they not done so there would be still no equal rights for women, same ole’ slavery as been for thousands of years. But fighting gained back some of our freedoms.

  3. Then Martin Luther King Jr. headed the Civil Rights in America, it won back many freedoms lost bythe blacks.
    Mahatma Ghandi did his thing, resisting the United Kingdom’s takeover of India step by step. Who would have ever thought it? Innocent trade ended up with their military takeover & dictating to Indians, a huge & free country, what they could & could not do? And when Indians started to fight back, many were bombarded with machine guns – when they gathered - & murdered. But eventually, Britain hi tailed it out of India, all thanks to ONE MAN & his ideas of PASSIVE RESISTANCE.
    What do we do now? Are we going to go the way of LITHUANIA & Australia? The Australians said they are looking to us for salvation. Can we save ourselves & the world? How? Will someone who laughed before now suggest what we do? Of course David Icke says resistance. I have resisted while watching all my neighbors give in. I wore no mask unless forced. I got no vaccines nor did I permit anyone under my care to get them, & I advised all I knew not to get shots, not to have their kids inoculated. Did they listen? No, they were listening to mainstream media & their numbnuts neighbors. Moms would say things like this to me,
    “My brothers kids got vaccined, nothing happened, & so did my nephews & nieces get the vaccines, it was OK. I don’t know why my child is so squeamish & fusses & cries so much when jabbed! Such a sissy! But these Moms were not looking at STATISTICS – I was, the statistics on AUTISM which explained that now AUTISM in children had skyrocketed, & the conspiracy ‘nuts’ explained there was mercury & aluminum & aborted baby fetal tissue in the vaccines, & NONE OF THESE PEOPLE BELIEVED US.
    OK you unbelievers, now that folks are headed for underground bunkers in the near future or cremated before they even know they’re dead – what do we do? You were so smart before, what is your solution now? You have none, do you?
    As Ajax says, as I say. Bullies do not go away, stop tortures just because we say ‘Please stop, you’re hurting me – us.’
    They WANT TO HURT, they have no conscience, empathy, love. They are demonic. How do you stop them? By fighting. What style of fighting? Look to history. Look to Emmeline Pankhurst, Martin Luther King Jr. & Mahatma Gandhi, Betty Freidan. Try to start there. But at this point, will that be enough? Were those actions implemented in more normal times? Are we over the edge & just face the firing squad? Anyone have answers?
    Ajax suggested what the govt SHOULD NOT DO. OK friend, you are right. But how do we make them?

    1. Very well-said overall, Rasa. The only real solution is mass non-compliance with all of these insane edicts, full stop. By a critical mass of We the People. Which should have been done long ago. Some countries like Australia may be too late to save now, but the USA I think still has a chance thanks to a few brave governors like Ron DeSantis and Krist Noem who threw a monkeywrench into the plans of the oligarchy. But that window is closing fast.

      As for Chomsky, unfortunately he seems to have been compromised too, recently chillingly saying that unvaccinated people should be "isolated from society". Just like the ACLU has sold out, and so many others too. And even Sweden's new incoming PM has apparently been compromised now, as has even the vaunted Anders Tegnell too. And the entire country of Turkmenistan has apparently been compromised as well, doing a complete 180 degree turn from denying the narrative completely to mandating vaccines for everyone just like Austria plans to.

      The oligarchs are in a hurry to eliminate the control group by forcing as many people to get jabbed (and then boostered) as possible as the narrative rapidly collapses all around us now. The longer We the People can HOLD THE LINE, the longer we can see the narrative completely laid waste before it escalates to the point of no return, God willing.

    2. Oh, and even Russia of all places has been compromised too, despite all the myths to the contrary. They have their own "vaccine" called Sputnik V, similar to the AstraZeneca/Oxford and J&J jabs, and plenty of coercion to go with it apparently. And it is hardly "safe and effective" either:

  4. The United States is a country which has inverted totalitarianism. It means that corporations, shareholders and the elite decide the laws and rules for elected officials to implement. This is why there is no mass gatherings against mask mandates or for for vaccine mandates.

    1. Coincidentally, the policies here are supported by the Republican Party and is considered heresy by the Democratic Party.

  5. Hello, I know this is off-topic. But regarding the national drinking age,

    What I want to know is: Is the argument about drunk driving still relevant? Most people in Britain and other European countries only get their driving licenses after they turn 21. Is this also the case in America? If so, there is no longer really a case for retaining the national drinking age. It should be left to the states instead.

    We need some statistics on this. Such as, What age do people get their first driving licence, and What percentage are under the age of 21 etc. You could do a whole section about it on your other blog.

    1. In the USA people still seem to get their licenses earlier than Europeans, as we have more of a car culture over here. But that gap is closing, since apparently fewer and fewer young Americans are gung-ho about driving or learning to drive these days:

      https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/today-teens-in-no-hurry-to-start-driving/5993406.html

      Canada is probably the same way I think, despite also being a car culture. And their drinking ages are 18 or 19 depending on the province.

      And so while not completely irrelevant yet in that sense, the drunk driving argument is far less relevant compared with the way it was one 1980s and 1990s. But honestly, the drunk driving argument never made sense to me. DUI is already illegal, and even more illegal now than it was in the 1980s. And doing so is dangerous at any age, not just under 21. And of course, it is perfectly possible to not mix alcohol and driving. Punishing all drinkers under some arbitrary age limit by depriving them of liberty on the mere supposition that they *might* get behind the wheel after driving (and thus in turn *might* harm innocent people) goes against everything a free society stands for, and is 100% un-American. And just like "flattening the curve", the best it does is kick the can down the road without actually solving anything.
