you have a funny way of showing it... what was this quote about...below... a public service announcement? it seems like you were pretending to take some sort of victory march because the country had to stay shut down longer... here4money said "America closed for business at least until April 30th according to Chump. Now bow to your dear leader & do a 180"
Yes. Had the left and their media minions not whipped up panic and fear, all as part of a political campaign strategy, we would be doing business as usual all along. Take Trump and the upcoming election out of the equation and this would have been reported as an unusually bad flu season with suggestions to stay home if sick, check on the elderly who are always at risk, practice good hygine and drink plenty of fluids. It wouldn't have been a 5 minutes segment on the daily news. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
Did you watch yesterday's breifing? Models show that without distancing measures we were expected to have between 1.6 to 2.1 million people die this 'CV flu season" alone? Not sure if that number includes having enough ICU beds to deal with the severe cases.
Everyone has lots and lots of projections, most of them based on fear and panic. So far this isn't as severe as the Swine Flu was. Why didn't we shutdown the country for that? Even if I accept the projection of a million plus dead that still isn't enough to take the drastic measures which have been put in place. The tens of millions, probably hundreds of millions of people who will be financially destroyed by this will have a much deeper and long lasting effect than any virus and it will kill more. Poverty kills. There will be a rise in alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, depression, suicide, etc. and these things won't go away quickly and will impact the lives of entire families, millions of them. And we're not yet even discussing the abuse of power shown by state and local governments. A year from now we'll be wishing for a fucking virus. That'd be the least of our problems.
We were really slow doing social distancing (for various non-political reasons) and several hospitals are overrun and people are dying on those hospitals are alarmingly high rates (don't look at the national %, look at the hospital itself and how it has to park refrigerated trucks outside since the morgue is overflowing). Imagine if we did nothing? This contagion and infection rate is far worse and faster due to how interconnected the world has become even in 5 years time. We are getting slammed and we are doing not that much until 2 weeks ago. Imagine if we did nothing? C'mon...you still think this is the media's fault. I challenge you to pick up a phone and call a health professional in NYC and New Orleans and ask them what they think? I had the luxury of doing both and they are panicked out their ass becuase people are dying faster than they can treat them (look at the Queen's hospital and in New Orleans and Baton Rouge). Stop blaming the media, and Trump should stop acting like his job is a ratings winner and people should take this seriously for ~6 weeks and then we can stop it and move to the strategy you suggest of going back out and just keeping the sick and elderly under closer watch.
Most of the projections are based on so called studies of academics who are extreme liberal, left wing, Anti-American hating doofuses who want their 15 minutes of fame? A lot of these so called experts of the liberal left wing media and ET trolls are absolute nobodies except, in their minds. For real statistics, we have the number of infected people and the deaths from that group. US per the Real Clear Politics website, now has 142,793 infections, 2,490 deaths or a death rate of 1.74%. Only Germany among European Union countries has the lowest death rate than the US. All other European Union countries have higher death rates than the US. Yet, extreme liberal media hacks continue to blame President Donald Trump as not having done enough?
I watch CNN fairly often and I have learned that China is the model that we should be following. They are pretty much the leaders in how to contain a virus. Of course they neglect to report that China is also the leader in how to create or allow monsters to be unleashed on to the world and then lie their arse's off. Or as President Xi would say: "That's your fucking problem." Yeh. You gotta watch CNN to get a balanced view.
Speaking of China who extreme liberal ET trolls cite as having done a terrific job on the Corona Virus, it seems they lied. LOL https://www.theepochtimes.com/real-...l-figure-ashes-urns-tell-us_3289749.html?v=ul
