It’s just the flu, bro.
I was sent this comment from a fellow Flubro yesterday. Essentially the left is going crazy about current lockdown protests being CV spreading events. Well they also went crazy about the Wisconsin in person voting 2 weeks ago as a spreading event. Well 2 weeks is time for CV to theoretically spread and kill people. Yet there is no spike in CV deaths in Wisconsin. It is very dangerous for any country (especially the USA) to not permit protests for any reason.

In the last minute of Trump’s CV press conference yesterday he said the lockdown saved millions of lives. This is false. The left is full of it when they say test and trace was the way to go to contain this. So also false. Is Rush Limbaugh the only truth teller when it comes to CV?

Ping. Freepmail to go on ping list.
It is an immutable Law of Nature that when the host dies, the parasites have nothing upon which to feed.
Hence the Great Furlough of “public employees” is underway.
If even the media stooges can figure out it’s just the flu, why are so many fearpers still hiding under the bed?

Paid trolls?
That hot mix was awesome! The truth will get out.
Public employees getting laid off? Where? Or do you mean politicians?

Wish DJT would eliminate the Department of Education right now....
Since most of the NY reps voice mail is full and they probably have a rule to delete all emails, I am using the good old fashioned FAX machine to demand they open up Upstate and that we are on their blackmail tactics.
Of course Gillibrand’s fax isn’t working...
yeah they can still toss it but it takes more effort than not picking up the phone or deleting emails.

Listening to Trump at the press conferences I can't help but think of your brains spinning as he contradicts everything you folks are trying to push.
Seriously, do you now consider him to be an idiot? Or an easily manipulated fool? He has more info than anyone else on the planet. Is he the biggest liar you have ever seen?
And most important, will you vote for him and on what basis if you can't trust what he is saying during arguably the most important issue of our lifetime?
Trump is wrong and the left is wrong on this issue. I see the left as being worse (more wrong) on this issue than Trump. I only vote based on abortion policy so the fact Republicans haven’t been good on this issue wont change my vote.
Trump made his decision and now he pretty much has to ride it out. He can’t backtrack and say he made a mistake without looking like a complete idiot. He’s deftly structured this to distribute the political blame amongst the governors. It’s the best he can do at this point.
A couple of interesting takeaways from Dr. Scarf’s performance last night.
Q. Isn’t what the Governor of Georgia doing in violation of the guidelines?
A. Well they are guidelines (translation: they’re not legally binding on the governors).
Q. What do you have to say about this study that seems to indicate that as many as 400,000 people in Los Angeles may have already had coronavirus?
A. (deer in the headlights look)….We’re looking into that.
To me she had the look of a lady who knows the jig is up.
In the words of the great Donald Rumsfeld, "this is one of the unknown, unknowns" or is it "one of the known, unknowns"?
Anyway, it can never be known.
Did the shutdown actually save lives or just spread them out over a longer period of time, in which case it was a total wasted effort that cost 22 million jobs and trillions of dollars.
If the area under the curve is the numbers of deaths, and the area is the same because the curve line is the same length, then is was worse than a waste of time, it was a waste of the world economy, which will cost millions of additional lives.
The single unintended good that will come from this wasted exercise is the fact that most Americans are now convinced that off shoring our strategic supply chains to China {and other foreign countries} is a threat to our very existence, or as the liberals constantly spout, "An existential threat".
What? It can never be known if millions would have died? Have you seen Sweden? Is there a strong correlation between degree of lockdown and percentage of population that died? NO!
2 million potentially dead is false!
Remember how things were here six weeks ago with the FearBros trying to create a panic? That was going on all across the country. Once the panic took hold, Trumps hands were tied, and he was FORCED to react, no matter what else.
It was never about any virus. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE PANIC!
That is what I was thinking too. Problem is that by Trump’s logic, if a short lockdown is good then a longer lockdown might be better. Governor’s are using Trump’s logic to make extreme lockdowns and further the left’s agenda.
Trump is wrong
“”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
Right now we have over 45,000 deaths being attributed to CV.
If you were in charge, what would you have done different from Trump?
What would be your best guess of the death toll right now under your plan?
You say you vote based on abortion. Does the life of an 80 year old with diabetes hold less value than a baby in her mother’s womb?
See any irony in your answers?
