The White House said Friday that President Donald Trump was suffering “mild symptoms” of COVID-19, adding that he was in good spirits and working in the family quarters though the announcement of his illness threw the country deeper into uncertainty just a month before the presidential election. The revelation came in a Trump tweet about 1 a.m. after he had returned from an afternoon political fundraiser without telling the crowd he had been exposed to an aide with the disease that has killed more than 205,000 Americans and more than a million people worldwide. First lady Melania Trump also tested...

It’s just the flu, bro. It’s time for the tyranny to end. Let free people do as they please. Politicians need help/pressure so that they know what to do. They are a bunch of sheep and cowards. Really impressed with the protests we are seeing...I hope it makes a difference. I pictured protesting to be more the passion of the left but if you keep productive people from working they find the time to protest too. These protesters are helping us. The numbers are full of lies - follow the money.

It’s just the flu, bro. Some things to watch for: 1. All deaths are Corona deaths - NY just changed over 1000 deaths to Corona deaths, I assume so hospitals can get extra money. But the alternative reason is to justify tyrannical lockdowns. 2. State by state lockdown variations - I greatly respect that Trump is following the constitution and letting states set their own lockdown rules. Look for Dem states to have extended lockdowns and for them to be rigidly enforced - all in the name of “protecting the people”. 3. Cultural changes - I saw a healthy young...

It’s just the flu, bro. Looking at Sweden’s Coronavirus worldometer (every country has one) There doesn’t seem to be any appreciable difference between the infection curve there and the infection curve of other countries. Same goes for the death curve. Yet Sweden chose not to destroy its economy with a massive lockdown. It is surprising that a country like Sweden, a fan of the UN and home to many socialists, went its own way and discovered a better way than just about every other country.

It’s just the flu, bro. Is this the new template for the socialists? They have found a very innovative way to stop the healthy and productive with this lockdown. Is there any history for having entire nations (or cities) quarantining healthy people and not just sick people? The goal of the lockdown was to flatten the curve. It has been more than sufficiently flat that hospitals are not overrun. Therefore everything can get opened up.

It’s just the flu, bro. Happy Easter! Something different today - a video of a confrontation between a jogger and police on a Corona- restricted California beach. Apologies to those who don’t have twitter - you can read the spoiler below. Turn the SOUND ON. https://twitter.com/iamisjp/status/1248697625991397376?s=12 : : : SPOILER The slow jogger is approached by police to the tune of the pink panther. The jogger, not wanting to get arrested, sprints away from police to the tune of Rocky. Is this jogger the Flubros’ Rosa Parks? Our Tienmneman Square guy who stood in front of a tank? Maybe I...

It’s just the flu, bro. A few things to watch for at the state level: 1. More tyranny in various states with heavy handed approaches to social distancing. 2. More good news in treatment front - ventilator bad...hydroxychloroquine (sp?) good....but how many states are making things worse by denying the medicine because they hate Trump. 3. Which states are going to keep the lockdown even after Trump/CDC says to end it. 4. And just a comment - I like how Trump allows state’s to do what they want. And also note that these death stats are trash and lies. They...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/strange-total-us-deaths-march-2020-actually-15-average-prior-four-years/ The numbers above have some grey area but essentially fewer people are dying now than in past years. A demographer might say there is a slight trend up or down in overall death rates due to an aging population. Regardless, overall death rates are way harder to fudge than cause of death numbers. But Flubros and Bras don’t need numbers to smell a rat. We have a manufactured crisis. A silver lining? When this is done there will be an anti-modeler/anti-scientist movement in America. This may help the world clue in that if modelers...

Some commenters responding to this daily series providing some information about the Chinese virus have repeated what seems to have become something of a mantra among libertarians who, understandably, dislike the idea of widespread lockdowns, with the loss of freedom and the economic damage that they entail. That mantra is that the Chinese virus is no more infections or no more fatal than flu, and that if we had allowed everyone to acquire immunity by catching the infection and throwing it off all would be well. Look at today’s graph. Though the downtrend in the daily compound growth rate in...

It’s just the flu, bro. What can/should Trump do? My preference is immediately end the lockdown and fire Fauci and CDC says vulnerable should be careful and they might want to consider staying home. Reality is that he probably won’t do that because maybe people will panic. Worst case is Trump says we need to listen to the medical experts and stay strong as a united nation to completely defeat this invisible enemy. He follows that speech up with a 3 month extension on the lockdown - an extension that he further extends out another 3 months. Politics involves sausage...

It’s just the flu, bro. It is interesting to follow the countries who have Flubros as leaders: Mexico Brazil Belarus Sweden While these countries aren’t 100% Flubro, they do represent one end of a spectrum. We can watch to see how both viral deaths and the economy fare there, relative to those nations that have taken more of a Fearper approach. Some things to watch for: 1. If any world leaders discuss an endgame for their panic-driven lockdowns 2. Any evidence that people will stop inflating the official death count with people dying with Corona as opposed to from Corona...

Officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the nation’s first coronavirus case of unknown origin Wednesday in Northern California in the latest sign of the virus’ rapid spread. “It is a confirmed case. There is one in Northern California,” CDC spokesman Scott Pauley told The Sacramento Bee just before 4 p.m. Wednesday. Pauley declined to elaborate. It was immediately unknown where in Northern California the case was discovered, but officials have begun to trace the person’s contacts as they sleuth out where and how the person may have become infected and whether others have been exposed,

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea confirmed 813 more coronavirus cases on Saturday, the biggest increase to date for the country and taking the national total to 3,150 infections with four additional deaths. (See link for full story)
