Remember Zika?

Remember bird flu?

Remember swine flu?

Remember West Nile?

This is merely the first disease (in the past which would have been labeled as the flu based on symptoms) where the Media sensationalism and desire to control the narrative (looking for a 24/7 story), Hollywood which sensetized the public with over 79 pandemic movies, politics where assholes want to grand stand, government agencies looking to justify their existence, and scientific/medical experts looking for their 15 celebrity minutes (example John Hopkins and all the TV MDs) came together to make a perfect storm.

There was NO ONE with any weight / influence who stood in the way, so things went from 0 to stupid in days without resistance. When the always willing to help “gubbermint” offered a bailout early on, it made things even worse because some who would have barked stayed silent.

This is a massive exercise in “group think.” Movie themes like bats from the movie Contageon became the cause in some early media reports, and measures to protect oneself also came straight from movie scripts and had no scientific basis what so ever, but dare not speak out against any measure or not follow the rules. $2000, $1000 fines or even imprisonment... LOL. This was so stupid that’s it’s embarrassing and anyone with half a brain right about now is distancing themselves from this idiocy because the story will soon change to “what have we done.” What did we do to people’s rights, how many got hurt or even died because they didn’t get care or care on time (vaccines, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, dyalisis), what did we do to ourselves economically?

There probably aren’t that many 80 year old people with diabetes, conjestive heart failure and other maladies in homeless camps.

My dad was a small town doctor in the 1950’s. When parents would bring in sickly kids, he would prescribe a spoonful of dirt.

Let them get some bacteria in them so they built up immunities, he'd say.

There are a few laggard states than haven’t reported yet today, but the deaths number are shocking. As in low. Many states in single digits.

Did you know that if you took away 49 states and left just New York on the CV site as a country....it would have the highest number of cases in the world?!

Have you ever wondered about Polio? It started in Sweden and then swept across the developing world. Who didn’t suffer from Polio? The undeveloped world.

Polio was caused by a virus that we likely had around us since ancient times. Yet, very few people suffered from it until the twentieth century. It turns out that Polio followed the introduction of flush toilets and clean water systems across the world. Sweden, a socialist country, had the first enforced introduction of universal flush toilets and closed sewer systems. Twenty years, or one generation, later Polio showed up. That’s because an entire generation was raised with no exposure to Polio and therefore, no immunity to it.

What seemed like a wonderful, no brainer, what-could-possibly-go-wrong “advance” killed or maimed millions of people. The law of unintended consequences is writ large and should be printed on our money and every public building.

One thing might be that it mostly hits old people. Druggies don’t tend to live to a ripe old age.

Because sunlight kills the virus in less than 3 minutes
Because these people are pickled (preserved)

Refer to George Carlin’s definition of how your immune system is built (youtube)

Have you ever considered the scenario where the virus is not the pathogen?

I assume you are talking about homeless camps. They aren’t bringing people out because the police don’t want to catch typhus or TB. Corona is a meh

medcram’s latest video might explain it in part.

t cells and helper cells

you have to think those living in the wild have been exposed to a lot.

Perhaps Bailey’s Irish Creme and weed ARE the vaccination?

are states breaking out ‘homeless’ as a reporting category?

An old article (April 2 LATimes) referred to 9 cases, with 22 more in quarantine. But I think PC reporting and record-keeping is preventing current figures from being known.
