COVID IS NOT AN EMERGENCY. Is it even "covid" at this point? Considering that flu has basically disappeared, I have my doubts.

I guess the masks aren’t working.

The Democrats are even starting again with that bullshit about rationing health care and having to decide which elderly patients will be wheeled out to the parking lot to die. Remember -- Democrats peddled that BS back in March and April!!

Trump should say he'll send $millions to El Paso and Salt Lake City for huge temporary hospitals which will then be dismantled after sitting EMPTY for weeks.

Germany remains the only country in human history to actively take the fight to the Communists.

No one has killed more Communists than the Germans. I'm not sure they can be lumped in with the USSR and China.

Because they are impulsive.

Not even not overflow - they were barely used. I think the whole navy ship treated like 182 patients total. With a max capacity of 1000 at any given time.

I remember the theatrics of NYC (that the media promptly covered) of “mass graves” being dug in Potter’s Field.

You know how many bodies went into it?

None.

Fuck all of these traitors.

which elderly patients will be wheeled out to the parking lot to die

I could just picture some nurses standing around a desk arguing who get wheeled out...

"Take Steve, that old fucker won't shut up abut the war!"

"Nah! Take Mike, that bastard keep lifting my skirt with his cane!"

Excuse me sir but Fox News told me it's a pandemic. Even Michael Savage said so. These guys are on our side.

Can it even be classified as a pandemic?

It is technically a pandemic. A pandemic is an infectious disease that spreads across a large region. However, when we typically talk about pandemics they’re also a lot more deadly than this. We don’t talk about the yearly flu pandemic for instance.

Wish people wouldn't downvote you, you are technically correct. The shame is that people see a word with a literal meaning and rather than understand that choose to panic based on a bunch of shitty movies they've seen.

COVID is half-true. It exists, people do die from it. But it is not a threat to the population at-large. The response to it is fake as hell and the proof is in the way Democrats hold their press conferences. They are trying to spread as much fear as possible.

The FLU spreads across a large region every year, should we have a yearly fucking pandemic deceleration?

There are required metrics to be considered a pandemic. This used to be a pandemic but isn't anymore.

In 1918 there was a pandemic.

There was no WHO, no CDC, no Internet. no PCR test, and no television, but people still knew there was a pandemic.

Would we even know there was a pandemic without media?

Nope. Case in point. My girlfriend had to go to the emergency room for an allergic reaction and in order to go back to work she had to take a covid test. It just so happened to be positive and now both of us have to quarantine for 14 days, no Halloween celebrations. We have had zero symptoms whatsoever we both feel great and have been exercising heavily every day. The crazy thing about all of this though is that I tested negative. How the fuck is that even possible? Only thing I can think of is that I already had it and didn’t know. We’ve been literally having sex every day and we live together. Not to mention she would have never taken the test if she didn’t have to be hospitalized and would have just walked around spreading it. How many other people are walking around with it that had no reason to get tested? I guarantee you if the entire US population took the test over 3/4 of us would test positive. There is no way to stop the spread. Everyone will get it eventually. Let us live our lives.

Gingivitis is a pandemic

It’s so irritating that all these restrictions are under “emergency powers.” Emergencies are, by nature, emergent. These governors should have had their pandemic powers checked by the legislature back in May.

Every story I hear is covid or orange man bad. Every. Single. One.
