the virus is the television. people are so sure of stuff but understand nothing of how anything works. ask them what pcr is, u will get a blank stare, it is a tool that doesnt identify virus nor disease ask them about anything related to this and the only thing they will resort to is what they saw on television. in fact if u didnt watch television it would be impossible for anyone to coerce u into believing a pandemic existed.
I'm done with this Covid Overreaction

#40This is a good point. When the Black Plague hit in the 1300's there was no TV. I'll bet everyone everywhere knew there was a problem just by what was happening right around them. Nowadays, nobody seems to have any problems whatsoever in their own personal circle, but the news media keeps reporting that the sky is falling.

#42All you hear on the news is "second wave is here" and "Thanksgiving and Christmas will be cancelled" and "3 new cases on this sports team".
ENOUGH.
When we look back on the lockdowns, it will be remembered as the single biggest overreaction to an event in history. This is a bad flu. The average age of covid death is HIGHER than the average age people die.
There are car accident deaths and cancer deaths being labeled as covid deaths. People are losing their jobs due to lockdowns or their businesses. Lives being destroyed by this overreaction.
We need to start living our life again. I am not going to be locking down again over a few deaths from people in their 80s and 90s. Enough is enough, and all media can go F themselves and that includes the stupid dumb mfer leader of Canada Trudeau.
If you're scared then hide in your house for the rest of your life and let the rest of us continue living. Thank you.
I will continue to go out when I have to, but I'll do so with a face mask.
You know, stuff like that.
It's not that big a deal to me to be a little bit more safe.
I say live your life, I'll live mine, just when you are face to face with me keep six feet away from me.

I'm not sure he said or meant without a mask or precautions. A lot people assume when these statement are made they want to go back to 2019.
I interpret it as lockdowns being bad not only for the economy but for mental and physical health reasons. The UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.Comment -

NUMBERS have been baked, and it's turning out this shit is no worse than a normal flu season when all the bullshit padded stats are pulled out of the numbers..... the fake covid deaths that really aren't covid at all, but other causes, are dwarfing the actual numbers of deaths.......
and now it's all starting to come out......... yet another dem/lib/bullshit hoax to try and derail our nation so trump would lose........ I called this on day one, when fat ass briana keilar started railing on trump before we knew shit about it.......
the harm done to our economy in the name of this bullshit kung flu is despicable, and shows how little the dems/libs care about the people of this nation as they strive to reacquire power........

-- shoot each other in the streets as often;
-- fuk each other in the ass and pass deadly diseases;
-- get hit by falling pianos as we walk down the street;
-- get hit by aircraft flown by harrison ford;
-- get shot by rednecks thinkin' we're a turkey out in the woods;

#51What they have been doing now and its tricky.....they say 25 new COVID deaths today in Michigan. Then, at the very end, they state quickly that 22 of those 25 deaths are going back through death records and "redetermining them as COVID deaths". They keep that number in the 20's to make people think its still this deadly virus running rampant when really its 3 deaths per day. They are going BACK into old death records now at these hospitals and claiming COVID deaths. This also helps the medical industrial cartels/complex earn more money. I think they get 50k per patient per COVID death designation.

#52I've said similar things months ago, but yes, it is penetrating very scary. It makes you want to get the hell away from these fucktards any chance you get....and I plan to do just that. If anyone thought that the government would ever fear the people, this COVID scam has shown how much people fear the government and how compliant they are. If you ask me, I will tell you its over. Myes well mark and chip them all now because they are ready. Just be kind and give the free thinkers an opt-out clause to live peacefully away from these cucks.Comment -

#59My guess all along was infrastructure install for 5g/and soon 10g (cook yourself plenty with 10g) Oh god help us all! Plus, financial reset. The banksters are pulling off their big reset and will probably be bringing in the "digital age" where cash money is no longer. That's why they can say COVID spreads through cash, etc. Everything COVID is clamping down on is for a reason and it has to do with their eventual electronic currency world.

#65I worked in the covid ICUs in April though June. This is not overblown. The healthcare system was on the brink in just about every way. Keep in mind this is a system that is designed to operate at capacity. I find it funny when people talk about ICU beds as if that is all that matters. The physical bed is the smallest piece of it. You need ICU doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists to staff those beds. We don't just materialize out of thin air. In a city that was not even hit hard, we converted 4 units to ICUs in the hospital I work at and a tremendous amount of effort was taken to make entire floors negative air pressure. All revenue generating surgical procedures were stopped and much of the staff was mobilized to the ICUs. It was chaos. I wasn't qualified to be doing things I was doing. The same goes for the resp therapists that normally work on the floor and who were thrown into this mess. Family members were making end of life decisions over the phone on a daily basis. I watched as an entire family was devastated. A sick teenage daughter at home trying to decide about the code status for her vented parents. Both grandparents were already dead.
There is this thing called exponential growth. Something like this can get out of control very very quickly. Ask Italy how ignoring the virus went for them. If we hadn't shut down and started distancing we would have been totally ******. We were nearly ****** anyway by our inept response and failure to test early. Shutdown was the only option. Otherwise the economy shuts down when bodies start accumulating in the streets.
And i'll say this too. Even with my antibodies, I'm not going back to the ICU. I volunteered, but this time around, if people decide to say penetrate it, then I will too. You all can live with the consequences. We had to use a floppy recycled N95 that wouldn't seal or hold it's shape for an entire shift because our manufacturing in addition to the middle class has been sold out to third world sweatshops for corporate margins. The craziest thing is, I actually ended up taking care of one of the principle authors of NAFTA when I was in that ICU.Comment -

#67A mask as a new symbol of faith, masks hanging on mirrors in cars instead of icons and crucifixes, often in clusters, loudly, sobbing, to tear: we will not die until we die yet we no no we are protected we will not die we will not die we observe here look strict obedience no death no need to endure so want to live scared to die no we will not die no no we will not ...
It's scary to live, we will do everything, Lord, whatever you say, or those who are for you, Lord, those who are in charge of the head appoint punish they cover them better we know that we are the most ordinary Lord God, let someone else die today, not me and not mine well definitely not me, in any case, Lord, I'll put on your mask, Lord, see how faithfully we can serve you!

#687 of 8 bro, but let's stick to this where we agree --- not that it matters, it's like you and the Lang thing (which is just entertainment of course) you deny it's reality, that's what's funny. Most people as you know have zero idea how the TV, then the next innovation, then the smartphone, then the xyz all contributed to the unreal manipulation of people for control. Whether it is indirect or direct it doesn't matter as much as the bottom line that without strong identities and families, humans will always in aggregate be susceptible to the manipulators because there are many who literally know already what works for the average man (they found this out quite well in the 20th century), and it is only enhanced now since tech is literally in each man's pocket, daily.Comment -

I've been critical of the reaction to covid, and everyone should be. The point that we have always been trying to make is not that the disease isn't real, it is how to understand the totality of what we are doing and how much the disease affects all people. That's what public policy is all about. That it affects a small number of people (who are old) and contributes to a degree, to their death, is irrelevant. Why? We have thousands of other things in society we literally never talk about that contribute to their (or any given person's) death. Heck, most of the people that have issues are obese, so they took part in those risks, and now are paying for it. As far as the rest, some may be unlucky. Ok, we have "unlucky" cancer patients all the time. We have people who drive in cars, get in crashes, and also those who shoot one another. We have people who engage in all manner of unnatural sex and spread disgusting diseases to many others, often also engaging in drug use and causing super bugs. Did we outlaw them or their gatherings? Did we shut down the economy? No.
Let me focus on why it's hard have conversations at times. It's because smart people like you let emotions take over and write or say totally crazy stuff like this (from above, emphasis):
There is this thing called exponential growth. Something like this can get out of control very very quickly. Ask Italy how ignoring the virus went for them.

The question has never been about how real it is. It has been about the right public policy decision. And that decision has been totally wrong and caused far more harm. Covid doesn't harm that many people in aggregate. The numbers are indisputable. The excess mortality will not be statistically significant. Here's the point, but you can assign the reasoning - because we have several options to choose from - but the point remains: The response to covid overall was purely political, having nearly nothing to do with a sane public policy or risk assessment about the "pandemic."
