You can feel the mood has shifted. Politicians and governments, ones that are not friendly toward the current president, are now starting the spin machine, fully realizing that the mother of all pandemics has been nothing more than a flu season.
They know they’ve been duped by the authors of models which predicted unthinkable death tolls.
So, the spin now is that the actions they took are responsible for the numbers coming in much lower than predicted.
Too bad we all know that the models already factored in “social distancing.”
We killed the world economy because they listened to lefty loons.
Hopefully this is a lesson learned not to pay attention to the same loons’ “climate change” models.
…the total number of identified COVID-19 deaths since the disease was recognized in America, per the CDC, is a relatively insignificant 16,570. That number, however, is soft. On the one hand, it’s apparent that, as in Italy, people who died with COVID-19 in their bodies, as opposed to from COVID-19, have been listed as COVID-19 deaths.
Indeed, the CDC’s guidelines almost demand overcounting, because it requires that any death that might have resulted from coronavirus is a coronavirus death. Nevertheless, leftist outlets such as the New York Times insist that coronavirus deaths are undercounted. Many jurisdictions are also playing around with their numbers in ways that seem highly suspect. As with climate models and climate data, the changes always support the leftist narrative.
I wonder if during the Spanish flu crisis there would have been far less deaths had they SOLELY practiced social distancing. Probably.
But this coronavirus has exposed so much lefty government sloth, black hearts, and authoritarians at heart that I like that little personality trait of it. Still wouldn’t want to date it though.
No!
As military vehicles are being shipped down to Toronto By rail in a City that is actually Quite calm with even the Murder rate lower.
Turdeau was drafting The Emergency Act while hiding at Rideaux Cottage all the time saying it was NOT needed.
Yesterday, Provinces like ONTARIO, Quebec etc. all said they saw no need for it.
But the equipment is being sent by rail (as per Turdeau): seen at the pass of Rutherford Rd in Brampton-Vaughan.
This will change the TONE of the whole situation!
Tip to the Little Bastard: We better get busy and start planting some crops soon you little asshole instead of locking able bodied & low risk people at home while farmers are DUMPING millions of litres of milk down the sewers!
I have BEEN over it since the beginning. It was NOT worth it. Americans have proven to be spineless lemmings whose biggest fear is a lack of toilet paper.
Whatever it is, it will be (1) all Trump’s fault and (2) we need Slow MoFo Joe to save us.
BTW, how’s that Joe and Hunter investigation coming along?
REgressives have been caught in so many lies in the past 3 years it begs the question, if not for our bottom of the bucket, scum bag SJW media, would even the mind numbed graduates of decades of teacher’s unions buy even half of this bullshit?
WTF has to happen for them to question the 24/7 garbage dumps spewing out of televisions? Read a typical story in The NYT with constant slamming of this President and than read the comments. Holy Fuck, there are legions these idiots that gobble up the lies like Tony Montana working on a pile of blow.
I believe the sides are pretty much set in stone. Sure there’s stories of formally undecided people now saying Trump is da man without any, that I’m seeing, saying the reverse. But unless he wins with over 60% in Nov, they’ll cling to the notion they’re relevant.
For the most part, and cynicism is part of this, but as long as REgressives control the megaphone, the next crisis is just around the corner.
It’s how they gotta roll.
The answer to the question “was this worth it? is no if you’re talking about stopping a deadly disease that has the potential o wiping out the population, but it is yes if you’re talking about the real purpose of establishing the principle that the Constitution can be set aside by the order of government officials for any purpose they deem necessary.
And have the people cheering them on in it instead of standing against it.
Was everyone made so fearful at the cry of the world Elite and their spokesmen the media and politicians that they just accepted it without question, much less resistance?
Yes.
America was once called the “land of the free and home of the brave” but it no longer has either free or brave people, more like subservient little peons in their place.
Cons like Fauci and Birx can’t con unless they have a Mark. Trump volunteered to be that mark. Both of these people are members of the Gates Foundation and are Clintonista’s. Look it up!
Why did he believe those worthless assholes?
Reap your harvest, DEMTARDS. 😡
If this a manufactured crisis, which I believe it to be, the question begs to be asked: Where and how was this plan of attack devised? And who were the architects? I am referring to the hysteria and shutdown here. The whole shutdown happened so fast and efficiently that there had to be a strategy involved.
Short answer, no…..
“Was this worth it?”
Meh.
(But we’ve always got the ghost of Randy Bachman. And, just maybe, after we push our heads out from under the covers, “Bu-bu-baby! You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”
Send a prayer of thanks to Saint Corona. For those, already, answered. This holy day season. And remind xer: Xhe’s not Bill Barr. Tick-tock, Saint Corona. Tick-tock.)
Totally worth it, but only if we have learned our lesson from it.
The other side of this is if, making his best guess Trump took a stand against this and told people don’t listen to them and not worry about it. Every death would have been blamed on him, it would have been over. He can’t win with the left.
Was it the right thing to do in a perfect world? No. The side benefit is the left has been shown to be wrong by pushing it to far.
Not to be trusted, it has got people seeing what dishonest sacks of dog sheet they are.
Oh yeah, China and the left asshoe.
Medicare is paying hospitals $13,000 per coronavirus patient if they diagnose it, and $39,000 if they put the patient on a ventilator. Talk about motivation!
And as I noted elsewhere, this tweet from Nate Silver this morning:
“There’s a difference between what the models said and “what the models said” as interpreted by the media, which often emphasized worst-case scenarios rather than the broader range of possibilities they articulated, some of which were conditional on there being no distancing, etc.”
Yep, we are being used, and the common people are beginning to take notice.
quarantine day 20 …
wife: are you hungry?
hubby: what are my options?
wife: yes or fucking no
Newest cam:
1) Publish a model claiming that 100+ billion will die.
2) Impose ineffective onerous solutions.
3) Walk the model backward to typical numbers.
4) Collect paycheck(s).
Our local paper today had the headline: “Worldwide deaths top 100,000”. Out of 8 billion people. Talk about insignificant. But “scare the hell out of people” remains the media’s order of the day.
Was it worth it?
Well….. Burning Man is cancelled. You be the judge.
I read somewhere that Bill Gates, a proponent of population control and a shareholder in the Wuhan virus factory, holds the patent on Coronavirus. Also responsible for some sketchy vaccines administered in India.
