Every lefty in my personal and professional circles just took a night off from their 24/7 pandemic panic to pack our local bars and restaurants for victory celebrations. Then they all went back to full lockdown mode the very next day, and none of them registered the massive covid-19 spike 7-10 days later as having anything to do with their behavior.

Same exact bullshit happened during the Floyd riots, too. Looks like covid-19 lockdowns are only for small businesses, conservative events, and observing polls.

The funny part is that the best solution would have been to intentionally let the virus spread as fast as possible and isolate the old and vulnerable. Within 1 month all of this would be over and everybody would have reached herd immunity.

That said, all of this is needless because it's a flu. It's a low quality Chinese product after all.

It is funny until you realize controlling the virus wasn't the goal.

The funny part is it's just a seasonal cold with a scary name and 24/7 news coverage. The swine flu in 2008 was 8x more deadly.

I think they supposedly debunked herd immunity very quickly. How, I don't know.

The whole virus thing is really odd and weird and early on completely convoluted, contradictory (don't wear a mask, wear a mask, you better be wearing a mask).

The early pics/videos supposedly taken surreptitiously in China now in hindsight seem staged - unless they managed to introduce a second virus that somehow mitigates the actions of the first.

At some point, I recall, Trump saying/tweeting that the virus was created to make his re-election impossible. Given how Trump lacks a filter sometimes, I can see that he was told in an intelligence briefing that no one could rule out that the virus was created to target his reelection bid. I think Trump's biggest deficit is when he just doesn't level with America because he is concerned what the opposition makes of his statements. Surprisingly, if with his most out-there statements, he has always been substantially right at the end.

Based on the available data at the time, going for rapid herd immunity would have caused a large spike in deaths due to an overwhelmed hospital system.

I believed that at the time. The initial numbers coming out of China were freaking terrifying. I have become more skeptical in recent months. The death rates just aren't there.

What is not in dispute is that herd immunity via spread would have destroyed billions in vaccine revenue.

Akshully, it bears more relation to a fellow coronavirus: the common cold, than an influenza virus.

Jeff Bezos' WP receives Chinese funds to print anti-American articles in America and they're not the only one.

Bezos doesn't need Chinese funding to print his own opinion, but it helps lower his costs.

Dr0neRec0very 15 points ago +17 / -2

Well, he gets it. There are multiple US publications that are paid by China to publish anti-American propaganda. WP is one of them. Besides, China could end Bezos entire career with a single change in trade policy. Amazon is nothing but a glorified China-direct drop-shipper, after all.

lol I wouldn't post a shit sandwich on reddit, even if they offered to eat it. Zero interest in reddit, from day 1. It's an oppressive cesspool, brainwashing system, where no one but the most hard-left idiot could state 'zher' true opinion. I could never understand The Donald being on reddit, back when it was.

I am the kind of Trump voter who came to Trump after voting for Obama in '08, and the media's lack of objectivity is glaring. I never thought the media was really neutral (rather that they aimed to please the center in power since access to that meant power) but even by that standard they have lost the narrative.

Having a higher number of cases doesn't even indicate the severity of the coronavirus. Just keep in mind that if there are 10,000 new cases in an area, but over 9,900 of those new cases are either asymptomatic, a mild cold, or a case of flu-like symptoms, and there are only 100 people with cases so severe that they require hospitalization, then this coronavirus pandemic isn't really as disastrous as you think it is. If there are enough hospital beds in that area, the hospitals will by no means get overwhelmed.

Honestly, these "public health experts" are so full of themselves. Initially, their rationale for lockdowns in March/April was to control the spread of the virus so that hospitals don't get overwhelmed. To justify their need for the lockdowns ever since March/April, the fake news journalists intentionally selected all of the busiest hospitals to film overworked and demoralized nurses. Every day, the fake news journalists scout the country for the worst hit areas, all to justify their calls for a national lockdown. This pandemic at this time of the year is for the most part no different than a severe flu season. If in November 2018 all of the journalists intentionally sought out the most overwhelmed, overworked, and demoralized health care workers during the beginning of flu season, the fake news journalists and the public health experts very easily could have scared us beyond our wits. They could have very easily mandated masks and lockdowns and quarantines and isolation to control the spread of the flu because the flu overwhelms hospitals. But no, fake news journalists and journalists didn't want us to fret and panic over the flu. They claim that is because the flu is expected, and that we already have solutions for dealing with the flu cases. The same thing goes for having the fake news journalists scouting out and only filming the most overwhelmed cardiovascular disease wings of the hospital or the most overwhelmed trauma wings of the hospital. Honestly, if the media executives wanted to scare the entire population into hiding so that we refuse to live at all, just give us headlines and human interest stories of 5 heart attack deaths every day. Do that for 4 months. And then people would be so scared of heart attacks, the same way that people are so scared of the coronavirus today. If media executives wanted to scare the entire population into not driving their cars or not riding any motorcycles, just go and find the most overwhelmed trauma units of hospitals around the country. Go and find people who will tell you their stories of horrific accidents and horrific injuries. Show us 5 of those stories of people suffering from accidents every day. Do that for 4 months. And then you would have successfully scared people into only walking to their destination, riding bicycles, or taking a horse and buggy.

At this point, the coronavirus treatments are also very predictable. Go give the patients either some remdesevir, some HCQ, some Vitamin D, some Zinc, or some of that regeneron. Actually, for most people, you just treat mild to bad coronavirus bouts as you would treat mild to sever bouts of flu. But then for the flu, for heart disease, and for motorcycle accidents or car accidents, the media companies don't want to continuously feed us the same story over and over again because they don't want us all living in an unnecessary heightened state of fear and anxiety.

For Covid, we have the exact opposite thing going on. Covid was the weapon of the Deep State to scare the entire world into submission so that we would acquiesce to tyranny and the New World Order out of fear. That's why every single hour of every single day people are talking covid, covid, covid. The malevolent actors behind this covid pandemic want to see just how far they can get away with controlling us and scaring us. These malevolent actors want to destroy any and all meaningful human relationships and destroy the very fabric of society so that they will be able to have full control over the very nature of human relationships and our society using a regime of digital technology surveillance.

Let's also not forget AWS are used alongside Dominion, Smartmatic, and Scytl.

Bezos should 100% be in GITMO.

That's their business model. With AWS the services are incredibly cheap, and the platform is sticky in many ways. That means, as a startup if you start on AWS it will be incredibly painful to leave it. Plus, if Amazon thinks you're competing with them they could sabotage your application in ways that it would be difficult for you to detect. This was similar problem in the days when Microsoft dominated PC operating systems. It likely has never stopped.

zakat 7 points ago +7 / -0

I'm German and that's just wrong. There was one politician who wanted to do that but he got shut down quite fast and backpaddled. Police cannot enter your home without reason/question.

It also wouldn't make sense why they should be allowed to. It's completely legal to meet with others in your home.
Sure the corona guidelines are written in such a way that they seem to suggest that you can only meet with 5 people from 2 households. But if you read the official order you see that this is just a suggestion. I should mention that most people do not read the order and thus think they have to isolate themselves.
But that's on their own stupidity to trust the media.

You already know the person writing that article is some fat effeminate loser. Oh yeah the whole world is just gasping with disbelief that some Americans spent a holiday with family.

This stuff is really effective at shaming normies into compliance though. We had the same stuff in the UK when we voted for Brexit. All these normies read headlines like this and then start parroting, "The whole world is laughing at us." Fuck off bro, who specifically is laughing? Some soy boy in Canada? Some tribe in the Amazon rainforest? Some randoms in an Indian shanty town? Who honestly gives a shit what "the rest of the world" thinks. Sadly it's effective though because most people are herd creatures who are desperate to fit in.

I was watching a youtube video and a verizon ad showed up. It was all black people grinning and buying the new iPhone.

Made me wonder what VZ (and other corps) are up to with this. Blacks are only 14% of the population, so they're not a large group, and of the 14%, most are going to be lower class incomes. So who is the target of these ads?

It occurred to me they're basically gas lighting us. Make whites think they're in the minority by over representing the liberal constituents. Its hard to find any tv or movie without an interracial couple, gay buddy, black friend, trans mtf guy, etc.

If they wanted proper representation, they'd be expanding the Mexican and south american roles on tv, ads, etc. They're larger than black population, and their numbers will continue to grow, as they aren't tossing their babies into abortion clinics.

This creates an extremely real danger in this country. People that believe this propaganda are in direct physical conflict with people who don't. This creates a MASSIVE gap between what leftists see as their reality and what the rest of us see. Without the corporate controlled fake media we would not be in the mess that we are in. The only way I can ever see our country healing is if we can bring back trust in our media. I have no idea how that's going to ever happen.

The only reason the media and policitican believe they can continue in, is that none of them have been domed at a dinner or press conference.

The second one person kills a governor, news anchor, corrupt da, or any of these snakes is the day the tide turns.

I'm still holding out for a solution through the courts, but if that doesn't work it's no "no fixing", it's fixing it the way the Founding Father's knew it would come down to.

I thought that was a joke, but they said BLM riots had no transfers, supported by science.

Then Trump moved his rallies outdoors, and somehow they became super spreader events.

They said it reduced COVID actually.
