Tim, you do realize the lies about every facet of Covid are as deep as Kim Kardashian's ass crack, right?

You think you know what the truth is? Prove it. You can't.

Question: are you sucking your thumb underneath your bed right now?

I'm not getting tested, and neither will most Americans. Those that don't understand what America is or what it is about, will bend over and drop their pants like little commie Fags.

The American adults, that can't be fucked around by Bill Gates, gets it, and sees this for what it is. It's a damn shame their are so many commie fags in America interloping always willing to drop their pants and take it up their commie asshole.

All of the lows have been broken by the low life scumbag Liberal fags. They are so fucking low, their ballsack scrapes the earths core when they walk.

HEYYOU says

The more dead RepCons the less stupid America will be.
All Rep Cons care about is about their own stupidity. Please suffer & die.

When liberals protest, the right condemned it. They shut down the freeway just because black people have been murdered by the state for hundreds of years! And god bless the nazis of Charleston, who bravely ran over those protesters there.

This is important stuff. Gotta get back to slacking for your corporations. Otherwise, how will you live paycheck to paycheck or fail to save for retirement?

And of course there's lots of this!

Tim Aurora says

It points to one main thing, We need more Testing

This statement remains stupid as no alternative, no explanation of why, no explanation of cost, no explanation of what will be achieved, no explanation of what will happen if we test vs not testing, etc is ever included.

This is why lefties are dumb as fuck, even while blowing the we gotta beleive science bullshit horn. No introspection, no critics reading. Just repeating propaganda bleating out we need more tests.

Fuck the Washington Post and it’s stupid ass uninformed opinions.

I agree that more testing is required - then we would be able to see that corona has been with us since December, that most or at least a lot of people are asymptomatic, that death rate is rather low, and that panic and shutting everything down (other than old farts self-quarantining) was unnecessary.
Germany and S. Korea are testing a lot of people, and that perhaps is one reason why their death rates are low %-wise.

Have you always lived in fear?

WookieMan says

You still don't get it. This virus is going to kill who it's going to kill. We can't hide from it forever. No hospitals, in the US at least, are overwhelmed. Let's just get this over with and move on.

The number of people who will die from the virus is heavily dependent on how we respond to the situation. If stay-at-home orders are kept in place, far fewer people will die.

Already the virus has kllled 29,000 Americans. 3000 died in the 9/11 attacks. So this pandemic has already killed almost 10 times as many Americans. Would you say, "well the terrorists are going to kill who they are going to kills, so let's just get this over and move one?" Maybe you should just envision the covid virus as tiny Jihadists attacking America. Would that get you to take this pandemic seriously?

Arrrtggghggg!!!!

We all gonna die!!!!!

Actually no. Islam is a dumb religion, as they all are, but 9/11 was a nothing burger in the history of the world if you look at it on a per capita basis. It was a big deal because of the optics of it. The number of deaths look big for kung flu, but statistically this is still a nothing burger. By a long shot.

You're comparing one off events to something that happens every year called the flu. We already have 10's of thousands dying every year from the flu. You're comparing apples to testicles. This virus is gonna kill who it's gonna kill, with or without a vaccine. Apparently in some people's world we don't have flu deaths anymore.

There's no proof that we're preventing more deaths than we are creating through the response. Bat flu is winning in my sphere, but 1 suicide to 2 deaths from Wuhan sickness. Give it the rest of the month and you're going to see suicides and OD's spike bigly. But hey, they deserve to die too, even though the people that die from Covid still will with all this nonsense. Good choice. Let's just double it up instead of letting those that are close to death, just fucking die???

ThreeBays says

Coronavirus: Can it even be stopped?

Eventually the pandemic will run its course, but we have to change behavior to mitigate the damage. I don't think lifting the stay-at-home orders is a good thing. We don't have enough testing and we don't have a vaccine yet. Even when we do get a vaccine, dumb ass anti-vaccinators may not take it.

The borders should have been closed in every country as soon as the pandemic was detected. People returning to their home countries should have been kept in quarantine for two weeks. If we did this, covid would have only infected a few countries and humanitarian aid could have greatly mitigated the death toll and economic consequences. Unfortunately, we value money too much over safety and the well being of our fellow man. Greed is an epidemic's best friend.

Hopefully, this world will learn from this tragedy and take steps to prepare for the next pandemic. And yes, there will be a next one and eventually there will be one far bigger and more dangerous than covid. Unfortunately, our species is terrible at dealing with problems that are incredibly important but not urgent like

- pandemics before they happen
- drug resistant microbes
- climate change
- the threat of nuclear war
- asteroid impact

We should be dealing with all these existential threats now before it's too late.

- Fund anti-pandemic organizations
- Have enough capacity for the worst case scenario, not the most common one
- Don't oversubscribe anti-biotics
- Reduce pollution
- Slowly and steadily remove nuclear weapons and make their possession illegal for all countries with mandatory inspections
- Map out all large asteroids and come up with a plan to divert them. Test the plan by altering the course of an asteroid.

Our government has failed to do any of these things except for some nuclear arms reduction.

That's a mostly invalid comparison because every year several hundred thousand people in the US, mostly elderly and some weak die of natural causes, which includes colds, flus, pneumoniae and various CVs. The death due to terrorism is close to zero. So a 3000 fold increase on 911 would equate to a plague that killed hundreds of millions of people in the US.

WookieMan says

9/11 was a nothing burger in the history of the world if you look at it on a per capita basis. It was a big deal because of the optics of it.

And yet we changed how we lived our lives greatly before it. An entire draconian act, the USA Patriot Act, was passed because of it. So taking some common sense measures to stop pandemics which are a far greater threat than terrorism ever could be, is quite reasonable.

WookieMan says

There have been numerous discrediting of the notion that covid is a lesser threat than the flu. If it wasn't for social distancing and stay at home orders, covid would kill far more than the flu.

Furthermore, pandemics have to be taken seriously. In war you prepare for the worse case scenario, not the best one. You have to treat all epidemics as possible Black Deaths because you don't know which one will become that. People have such short memories. Just because there wasn't a pandemic in their lifetime, they don't take the threat seriously. They ignore history.

This is true. The CDC numbers of infected/dead indicate a 4% mortality rate in the USA. That’s on par with the Spanish Flu.

Sorry, we don't have remotely the slightest clue how many people are or have been infected. The death rate is a complete guessing game because of that. Even with the current data, there's not a chance with modern medicine that this will get close to the Spanish flu. We'd need 5M dead by now at minimum. Per capita, compared to other outbreaks this really is the flu.

We're overall going to end up with less deaths during this period because there will be less car accidents, less work injuries, etc. That's all social distancing is doing. It's not stopping an airborne virus. Has anyone not been outside or to the store? No one is listening to the "orders" besides the big event people/businesses and restaurants. Grocery store and gas stations have been packed every time I've been out.

It's a little scary how quickly people can be manipulated. And even if it's not manipulation, the fear of death apparently is stronger than I thought. The end is the same for everyone, not sure how you're going to change that. People die from changing a lightbulb on a ladder. Do we just get rid of lights and ladders?

The death rate is around 0.5%, given 20% have been infected easily, on par with a serious flu season.

Shaman says

That's clearly wrong.

The virus kills on the order of 0.4% when you include all of the people who have been infected, per studies in Iceland and Germany. Maybe less.

The 4% is for people who are sick enough to seek medical treatment, which is a minority, about 10% of those infected.

4% x 10% = 0.4%

Some say underreported.
Others say overreported.
Some scream sky is falling
Others are saying stop quarantine.

At this point it’s all waste of time to talk, just have to get through this.

Finally understood what this corona brouhaha panic reminds me of:

You mean the test that was never clinically validated due to panic?

Wait till we get the vaccine that's rushed due to same. Polio vax round two anyone?

So you think the "pandemic" is another plot, like 911 and the patriot act, to further limit our freedoms?

They did say 911 was a new "Pearl Harbor", and last week was the "Pearl Harbor" week of the pandemic so I see where you're coming from.

At least the alarmists have left global warming climate change alone for a while.

0.4% is still over a million Americans. How high does the death rate has to be before closing movie theaters and bars are warranted?

Never honestly. They should be open now. This isn't some Hollywood virus that is killing everybody. We know who it's killing, they're just too fucking stubborn and are the policy makers in this country. Huge pussies. So hey, let's fuck everyone else over AND get free money they'll never have to pay back. Boomers are a fucking virus. Open up and let them all fucking die...

Lies. Fake news. You post a tweet + article from 2018 to back your statement.

But, now in 2020, Kanye just stated he intends to vote for Trump.

So no, he didn't ditch Trump. He's very much still on Team Trump.

This video, and also it's promotion is a good example of why fake news is so prevalent.

Some people don't consider that a 1.2 second video clip might be missing some context, making it's words and message completely different. They also don't believe their favorite news station would cut clips in a dishonest way - they "trust" that the 1.2 seconds is reflective of the true meaning.

But both of those assumptions are very wrong. Fake news spreads quickly due to this.

This thread from Dan Crenshaw sets fire to the dumb arguments by Progs who are trying to re-write history and divide our nation with stupid videos like this.

A couple samples:

"On March 3rd, the day after you claim Trump should have shut our economy down, this is how the WHO downplayed the virus:

“COVID-19 spreads less efficiently than flu, transmission does not appear to be driven by people who are not sick”

https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---3-march-2020 …

Would the America public really have accepted millions of jobs destroyed for a virus that had infected just 102 people by March 2? Especially considering Italy would not lock down until March 10th, Spain on March 14th, and the UK on March 23?"
