Great post—I have been very disappointed to see many Freepers make all of the mistakes you listed.

>>People still saying it’s now worse than the flu despite the death toll that occurred WITH a lock down.

People in old folks homes are in virtual lockdown every day regardless what the rest of the country does.

They are dying because of underlying causes and confined exposure to others who are contaminated.

How many of the deaths occurred in these death houses?

>>People claiming the goverons are tyrannical when their state legislatures gave the governors the powers to do this.

Saying that doesn’t make it so and some legislatures are fighting back

[Terry L Smith]

The governors who clutch at their citizens, like spoiled children yelling, “Mine! Mine!”, are in fear of the populace in one voice, saying, “NO!”

RE:”People who think the whole thing is a hoax.”

Good point, this whole thing could be a hoax created by China on the internet to destroy our ecomomy.

And to take Hong Kong.

And if everyone has to wear a mask, how can we identify the Chinese spys?

Thousands of Miles From Wuhan, a U.S. City Is Shaken by Coronavirus People from Wuhan, China, who now live in Pittsburgh, its “sister city,” are sending aid to relatives and friends trapped in the center of a deadly outbreak.aaaa

RE:”People blaming Trump for what their governors did.”

Good point, gov NYS Coumo says the CDC ordered him to move sick COVID 19 patients to his nursing homes, he didn't want to do it but Trump gave him no choice.

He must be telling the truth, he gives those daily briefings and the media seems to believe him.

Business Insider is trash. They think they are slick.

It’s almost like deciding policy or even public sentiment by Twitter activity is a fool’s errand, but what do I know?
