So here is the sequence of events for Dallas from here.
1. The public health people, in concert with the media, will whip up the fear factor and masks and social distancing and lockdowns will be instituted in response.
2. Sure enough, the hospitals will not be overrun or even exceptionally crowded.
3. Public health officials will attribute that to the draconian measures that were taken, and praise the public for their terrified reaction.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Go to minute 16 in this video, and hear the definition of a “Covid19 case” IN TEXAS .
Used to be you HAD to be tested to be a case, NOW - you just need to be a contact of a confirmed case to be A Case.
Alex Jones had a great video on this but we can’t post him here, right?
HYSTERIA!

remember Italy’s initial problem was the rush to hospital by people SUSPECTING they might have the virus, overwhelming the system, and causing spreading the disease:
2 Jul: News4SanAntonio: Emergency rooms seeing increase in both COVID patients and those who ***SUSPECT they have it
by Darian Trotter
SAN ANTONIO - Local hospitals say they’ve seen an increase in COVID-19 patients driving themselves to the hospital, or having a family member drop them off.
Others with more serious complications are being taken by ambulance...
During the past two weeks, emergency room doctors have seen an increase of patients - those who haven’t been diagnosed with COVID-19 but are experiencing symptoms.
***”Who are unaware of what’s going on so they want to be checked out,” said Ralph Riviello, Chairman of ER Medicine at University Hospital System & UT Health San Antonio.
They’re also seeing patients who have previously tested positive.
“And their coming in because they’re having worsening symptoms,” Riviello said.
They say 70 percent of patients seen in the emergency room are for COVID-related symptoms.
“Most of the patients are having symptoms of fever, chills, body aches,” said Dr. Corey Harrison with CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Medical Center.
Riviello said, “Cough, loss of taste, loss of smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.”
But not all require emergency room care...
Harrison said, “Most of the treatments that have been developed have been developed for the critically ill patients who are on ventilators or require oxygen support. So if you have mild symptoms there’s really not a lot of benefit to coming to the emergency room department.”
Doctors we talked to say, if you suspect you have COVID and have mild symptoms contact your primary care physician or any of a number of area clinics for testing. They say to avoid flooding emergency rooms.

by Laura Garcia

Broken down between Covid and non-Covid numbers
And how the Covid determination is made
Some of our local hospital ER’s and urgent cares put up tents outside their entrance in anticipation of large numbers showing up. They have been empty for months without any activity. Witnessing this in person numerous times is what led me to believe this was complete fear mongering and hysteria and either greatly exaggerated or what people are calling the scamdemic.
ER’s=ERs
But the number of COVID-19 patients in area hospitals is about double what it was a month ago, according to the county’s daily reports. >>> no real numbers so what are the numbers? Double of nothing is nothing.
Crack a can of Fear-brew to put a damper on the Fourth.
Can’t have mass gatherings involving PATRIOTISM!

“At no point has our healthcare infrastructure been overwhelmed. NY state”
Also note a lot of the deaths were New York, PA, and New Jersey mishandling the high risk population, sending infected seniors into assisted living homes.
these experts are morons
they cheered the protestors
but they also said ‘we need herd immunity’
and then wish everyone would have been kept imprisoned
well, you cant build herd immunity if you lock everyone up
but you guarantee dragging the whole crapfest out longer
medical people cannot have any say over peoples freedoms
they have proven they phuck things up
Are you aware that it only took 3 weeks for the death toll in New York to go from 20 deaths per day to over 700 deaths per day?...... Georgia has been open for over 2 months and they still have less than 3000 deaths in a state with 10 million people and the busiest airport in the country.... 7 weeks ago the naysayers were saying “just wait two weeks, it’s going to be disaster in Georgia”..... And now you’re saying in 6 weeks it’s gonna be a disaster nationally.... Meanwhile, we are one day away from finishing the 9th consecutive week in a row of falling national death counts..... I’m sorry, but you are drinking the Globalist Kool aid
Didn’t happen in March, why do you think it will happen now?
Bumping THAT!!!
Bumping THAT!!!
“Outdoors is safe.”
Last week I was in national park on a huge lake. Today I went paddling on a river with no people, just us and the wild life.
It is so nice not living in a rat (democrat) infested city.
“Those tested showing ANTIBODIES are included in the numbers.”
I don’t know about Texas, but South Carolina does not report antibodies positive test in new cases. If they are doing that in Texas maybe Texans need to vote some people out of office. I was thinking Texas is a Republican state, guess not.
one persons subjective impression. ICUs and hospital wards are neither full not overstressed. The number of cases is not a meaningful number. The reason for this whole charade back in March was to keep the healthcare system from being over stressed. It is not now nor has it been over stressed. Now the goalposts have been moved to controlling the number of cases Rational human beings have had enough of the hype
I’ve done nothing but COVID since February..
This is real.
And it’s getting worse. What we are going to get from this is a 47-53 Senate, Susan Rice as President, Merrill Garland and Barack Obama on the Supreme Court, and a severe depression when we shut down again.
Who gives fluck
infection is not sick, symptoms do not mean death sentence...
In the beginning, “flatten the curve” was about slowing the spread so hospitals wouldn’t be overwhelmed.
Now the new tone in NY seems to be - stop the spread.
Contact tracers have been released to harass the people.
Subpoenas are being used by contact tracers for noncompliance.
If you’re unlucky enough to catch the Covid - you will be treated like a criminal.
