    But yeah, let's give them time to let that play out and experiment. Not convinced anitbodies will work here. Evidence is sketchy.

    Tens of thousands flock to Orange County beaches as heat wave lingers over SoCal

    Crowds of people were seen at Huntington and Newport beaches and officials are expecting even larger crowds over the weekend.

    More info that comes out public realizing not near as bad as thought. 99.5% survival rate or greater, large majority has no symptoms or risks.

    Curve flattened, hospitals significantly under capacity. Time to open up.

    So now they're saying that all of the people that died in the US being reported on the coronavirus death charts didn't all die specifically from the coronavirus. People may have died from something other than the coronavirus, but if it is found in their system, they are added to the c-virus death count.

    This seems just a little bit dishonest.

    Someone is hospice with weeks to live diagnosed with the coronavirus is listed as a coronavirus death.... very deceiving.

    PA had to walk back 200 deaths this past week.

    california doctors bringing the heat and speaking truth, shocked that network tv in california broadcasted this

    1. The answer as to whether or not we need to continue to stay at home and keep businesses closed is an emphatic "NO". 2. Covid-19 is in fact no more dangerous than seasonal flu.3. Quarantining is a health hazard in and of itself. 4. ER doctors are being pressured to add Covid-19 to death reports.5. Not about science. Not about Covid-19. When they use the word "safe" - that's about controlling you.

    In a few years time we will look back and realize that our world was destroyed by a virus with a CFR between 0.1 and 0.3%

    let's not forget how easily we were all duped, and how many intelligent people continue to believe totally b.s. numbers.

    cdc even ADMITS that they want pneumonia deaths to be reported as coronavirus, on people that were never tested for corona, they just had some corona-symptoms (which are the same as pneumonia). so every single pneumonia death in the past month has been reported as covid.

    Now, if someone died from pneumonia, respiratory distress or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and had exhibited coronavirus symptoms, their certificate will list COVID-19 as a presumed contributing factor.

    Bingo... When you start affecting people's money, then it'll change...

    Working from home is the first step towards being laid off.. Many companies are now seeing how many employees they don't need..

    Once that happens, watch how quickly people's opinions change then..

    If people die we didn’t do enough, if people live we did too much. There’s always going to be a news source to argue both sides here so you guys are just going in circles. The fact is you guys spent so much time arguing with each other about your political sides that you put idiots from both parties in offices as your elected officials. No one to blame but yourselves.

    go visit a hospital, or talk to a doctor/nurse, they are ghost towns

    nurses are doing dance videos on tik tok because they have nothing better to do

    as expected, people will continue believing the lies even when the truth becomes apparent... do you also still believe there are sleeper cells of muslim terrorists in every city in the us, just waiting to blow up every shopping mall and apartment building? 19 years later and they are still asleep apparently

    not a single mainstream news channel has presented the opinion that we shouldn't have shelter in place orders... for over a month they have repeated the lie that keeping healthy people locked in their homes helps general health and welfare

    human contact, vitamin d (sunlight), being active, those are all things that make people healthy and happy

    So, you have visited all the hospitals in the country and know this for a fact? And now you are believing things you read on Twitter as facts? Go away, you need help.

    Ok I will entertain you....if you Milwaukee mike of SBR knows the answers just tell me if it’s just some big overblown situation, what benefit is served to stay in quarantine. If it’s suppose to be business as usual why isn’t it? If it’s some government conspiracy, for what purpose? What do they get out of it? It hurts the economy, people, etc. so if it’s just fear mongering bs tell me why they did it? If this truly isn’t an issue than how does it benefit our governors/government to keep us quarantined? If you can answer that with a solid response it will surprise me

    so you ask a question and then turn to the condescending tone

    government/media's job is to break your legs, then hand you a crutch and say "see without us you couldn't walk!"... without fear why would we need a federal government?

    why did the federal reserve start buying anything and everything? control

    there is a lot of money in lying to people... why were we lied to about iraq/wmd? that sure hurt a lot of people, but it made a lot of others super rich

    in order to transform society you need transformative events... do you really think not a single person is benefitting from the lockdowns?

    It wasn’t meant as a tone I just really don’t see the benefit. With wars it’s very easy to see the benefit....defense contracts, kickbacks, allocation of money for certain purposes. But where is the benefit here financially? In terms of the people that are making decisions on quarantine how are they benefitting financially?

    all behind the scenes... those that play the game get rewarded... why do we get dr fauci (bill gates best buddy, a "doctor" that hasn't practiced medicine in 20 years) as some kind of genius/expert?

    and when everything they say turns out to be wrong, no apologies, and keep being presented as an expert

    wisconsin governor "i hate having to do a safer-at-home, i will end it as soon as possible"... then when the data is 10% as bad as expected, he STILL extends it another month

    the media only keeps their job by parroting the narrative... you're right though it's difficult to see why some of these governors are being complete head-in-the-sand jackasses... it's either ignorance, stupidity, or corrpution, my guess is some combination of those

    But where’s the financial gain. Every other act in history always leads to a financial gain. There’s no way all of this is just so Fauci can be a figurehead. You have to think in the sense of what person or entity benefits so greatly from doing this that it outweighs stalling the economy, high unemployment, etc. I don’t see where the financial benefit goes and to that that’s why I believe that there must be more truth to why we have to be cautious with this. Maybe information that doesn’t get released or whatnot I have no idea. Until I can see the gain from doing all of this for no reason I’m going to believe that it’s in the well-being of people. But if you do think you can pinpoint where the financial gain would come from I would open to hearing that

    How about Dr. Michael Osterholm?

    This guy has been studying and talking about this stuff for decades.

    Being a practicing doctor seeing patients is meaningless when it comes to this stuff.

    Don't. Vitamin D is good for you. Only use some if you're out for a long time.
