Misleading Pictures Behind The Media’s Fight Against Relaxing Lockdown Orders

U.S. states that haven’t been as heavily affected by the coronavirus as others are taking steps to return to normalcy by easing restrictions to reopen their economies. The media seems to overwhelmingly think this is a bad idea and continues to show those efforts in a bad light.

The beaches: Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) gave some municipalities the green light April 17 to reopen beaches with strict guidelines in place, but he was still quickly criticized. Residents can walk and run on the beaches but can’t sunbathe or bring towels and chairs. Gatherings of more than 10 people are still banned.

Pictures of beachgoers flooded social media with #FloridaMorons trending on Twitter, prompting accusations that they’re violating social distancing guidelines. The media similarly showed pictures of Florida residents “flocking” to the beaches to its viewers and readers. The Guardian said it was “hundreds” and CBS News said it was “thousands” that visited the beaches.

Partner, the Insane Political Journalists will never want us to know the real story but we all know the Insane MSM has sided with the DemonRat party and they will pay dearly for the insanity.

I say this because 96% voted with the DemonRat party so they are memmbers of the DemonRat party.

Remember that these lockdowns were based upon Government and government funded models. These models were solely based upon SWAGs by supposed experts. They had no data but foisted them upon us based upon their expertise. As there is absolutely no, not any, none accountability or repercussions for those worthless predictions, they continue to occupy those positions and draw a salary and perpetuate their expert nonsense.

These are the rocket surgeons in AZ trying to convince everyone that they're responsible and able to be safe without government prodding.

You know, by maintaining social distancing and all.

Show me the study proving sunny, outdoor “social distancing” reduces the overall mortality rate for Covid-19. Hint: It ain’t there.

Right now the evidence is anecdotal but I think there are some trials underway...

= = = = = = = =
Show me that it DOESN’T. You can’t

If you want to sit in front of your TV etc 24/7 fine, that is your perogative.

I do NOT desire to be imprisoned by skewered ‘science’ that has been virtually wrong from the start.

Is there a problem?
Yes, like every year there is a problem.

COVID 19 means that it is the 20th version of COVID

I am not belittling or mocking you, do what YOU feel is best but don’t try to run MY life, I have managed to get this far and I intend to go a lot further and I am older than the idiots that are ‘advising’ us and attempting to take over the country...including those so called ‘genius’ pResidential candidates and sitting Speaker of the House...WHY aren’t WE ALL demanding she get her arse to DC and do her job.

Why hasn’t PDJT called the entire R congress critters to stand behind him and DEMAND to be allowed to go back to work.

Look again, THE SKY ISN’T FALLING.

And we already know what those “trials” are going to find don’t we?

Whoever runs the experiment can manipulate it to arrive at any outcome they want, or if that doesn’t work, just lie about it.

Leftist media lies, conflates, and misrepresents all the time. The only question is whether or not the watcher/reader notices it.
