Coronavirus Has Vanished as an Issue

RUSH: You know, I’m sitting here, I’m trying to get my head — and it’s a big head, my friends. Even with half my brain tied behind my back just to make things fair, it’s a big head. I’m trying to get it around how much things have changed since last Thursday when I was last here. Remember I took Friday off ’cause I needed a rest day. By the way, thank you for your indulgence on that because it was so restorative. It really — or “restorative,” for those of you in Rio Linda. It helped.

Coronavirus Has Vanished as an Issue

Jun 1, 2020

RUSH: You know, I’m sitting here, I’m trying to get my head — and it’s a big head, my friends. Even with half my brain tied behind my back just to make things fair, it’s a big head. I’m trying to get it around how much things have changed since last Thursday when I was last here. Remember I took Friday off ’cause I needed a rest day. By the way, thank you for your indulgence on that because it was so restorative. It really — or “restorative,” for those of you in Rio Linda. It helped.

One thing is for sure. One thing is for sure. The coronavirus is no longer an issue anywhere the country, is it? Oh, you might find some people trying to pass out masks so that the rioters and the looters and the protesters can protect themselves, but really… Remember all of this concern? “You can’t go to the beach — and if you do, you gotta be six or 10 feet apart. You can’t do this, you can’t go there, you can’t get in the water, you can’t get a haircut.”

No such restrictions. Coronavirus? What? By the way, ABC News with a story. Ready for this? “ABC Admits the Lockdowns Had No Effect on COVID-19.” It’s a tweet here from Eric Strauss. “Just in: ABC looked at 21 states that eased restrictions May 4 or earlier, found NO MAJOR INCREASE in hospitalizations, deaths or the percentage of people testing positive in ANY of them: SC, MT, GA, MS, SD, AR, CO, ID, IA, ND, OK, TN, TX, UT, WY, KS, FL, IN, MO, NE, OH.” There’s a long, long list of them.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I’m watching Fox Business just after 11 o’clock, and they put a graphic up. Amazon had just sent a message out to drivers, and this was posted at 11:09 a.m. Eastern time, 9:09 a.m. Mountain time. The message says, “If you are currently out delivering packages, stop immediately and return home. If you have not completed your route, please return undelivered packages to the pickup location whenever you are able to do so.”

Amazon called their drivers. I don’t know if this is nationwide ’cause I didn’t even hear it. You know, I have the sound down. It’s an irritating thing, sound is to me. So I just caught it — the graphic — out of the corner of my eye and looked at it. So, anyway, folks, I’m trying to get my head around how much things have changed since last Thursday, the last day that I was here. And the fact that the virus…

ABC is admitting the lockdowns had no effect on the spread of COVID-19, which is now going to be the death knell for lockdowns and the media-generated artificial panic that led to them. God, it is so… Again, I’m out of words. We ruined 40 million Americans! We destroyed their jobs. We destroyed their livelihoods and — in some cases — their lives.

We have wiped out some dreams. Look at what all has happened — and the Boston Marathon, which was rescheduled for September, has now been canceled. The NFL thinks they’re gonna play a full seen season. I’m wondering, “How in the hell is that gonna happen?” But they maintain they will. The college football season? They can’t play if they don’t open campuses. You can’t have college football if there isn’t any learning going on on campus, if they have no students there.

‘Cause they gotta put forth the idea that the student athletes are actually students — and so if college football doesn’t play, guess what? You’re gonna see the NFL on Friday; you’re gonna see the NFL on Saturday. They’re already on Thursday. You’re gonna see the NFL on Sunday and Monday. Somebody’s gotta go in there to fill the vacuum.

Anyway, the virus is no longer an issue. Isn’t it amazing how rapidly the virus has just been scrubbed as an area of panic-level concern? It’s gone, vamonos! And it’s been the case for a month, folks.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. But you know… (interruption) No, no, no, no. Speaking of the coronavirus, you know what I saw on my tech blogs? The tech blogs are already running stories that Trump is going to “blame” the protesters for any new wave of infections due to the coronavirus. Well… (chuckles) Duh! If there is a new outbreak, if there is a second wave, how do you not? But right here it is.

Headline: “Prediction: President Trump Will Blame a Spike in Coronavirus Cases on All the Protesters,” and it’s a big story, about a 750-word story on what a mean guy, what a rotten SOB Donald Trump is. Why even now — even now — Donald Trump is plotting to blame the protesters for any new wave of coronavirus infections!

The one thing… If there is a new wave, the one thing we damn-well know now is (monotone): “that there is no reason to shut down the country ever again, period.” That’s how I dictate to Siri. You gotta take the emotion out of it. If you want to dictate to Siri (monotone), “just say the words.” Don’t pretend you’re talking to a human being, ’cause you’re not. (monotone) “Just speak every word monotone and it will be so much better.

“You will not believe it, period.” That’s how you dictate to Siri. A lot of people say, “Hey, Siri. You need to get hold of my brother and tell my brother I think he’s an idiot for what he said to me three weeks ago.” Siri is never gonna get all that. You’re gonna spend the rest of the afternoon editing that. (monotone) “Hey, Siri. Please get hold of my brother and tell him he is a fool for what he told me he thinks last night, period.”

A hundred percent correct.

Just another service from me to you.

It's the Final Solution

This "final solution" will stop abruptly when owners shoot a few.

Funny how dem governors and mayors acted all tough threatening business owners but now suddenly get weak in the knees when rioters appear

>> Funny how ...

The same approach to gun restrictions — don’t prosecute the violators, but add restrictions to penalize the law-abiding citizens.

When the mass media starts crying (in a few weeks) about an increased CV rate in the black community (caused by the rioting and looting, which they won’t talk about), a big middle finger is in order...

Yes, all that is okay.

Shouldn’t be.

The way it was explained, was that you had to prove you
had this on your phone or you couldn’t enter businesses
to conduct business. Think supermarket.

It’s an insidious plan > IMO.

I would simply explain to them that I don’t have a phone.

Yes, it is an insidious plan, and I have no intention whatsoever of cooperating with it.

I am now convinced that COVID-19 was an exercise in control and submission. The spell of fear was broken along with the credibility of all of those who wove it.

I will never hear from Dr. Fauci or The Scarf Queen again.

‘But sure, whatever Rush.’

indeed; the Karens are still in the stores and the cops will be all over us if we try to get a haircut...but as long as Rush says it’s over, well, dangit, it must be over...

‘So now they drop the COVID panic stuff.’

that would be a good idea for a couple of posters on this website...

Good luck to you. Hopefully this is a plan that will die
on the vine.

This is not about George Floyd's death. That was a flash-point.

This is the pressure cooker our governments created with their liberty/economy vandalizing lock-downs.

Thank you, and good luck to you as well, DO. I hope this plan dies on the vine as well, and it really seems like this entire affair was an exercise in control and submission.

It’s almost Biblical in the aspect of it that says you can’t
buy (or sell), if you can’t prove you have the app on your
phone.

Good grief!

Our take is similar on it, Thanks

Yes, it is. Mark Of The Beast level stuff. Strange times.

Oh, quite the opposite. It will be sprayed onto the minds of the herbivores by every Socialist media outlet and network - as Orange Man Bad, White Man Worse.

They will use that as the impetus to escalate things even further.

Matt Bracken is looking like a prophet...

Here’s an article you might want to read and then apologize for posting false information. And another thing, go back and touch up on 3rd grade grammar rules regarding the use of “it’s and its”.
