In the end, this is the source of most anger. People can’t bear the idea of a relentlessly powerful enemy.

The 99.9% survivable virus is a “relentlessly powerful enemy?”

No Tyrants like the Trudeau and other Marxist dictators are the powerful enemy.

Your logic is flawed with all those boosters. Poor chap.

These posters are not good people. Their goal is to scare the population into taking a jab of toxins until it accomplishes their goal.

Mass depopulation.

---- You pen a response to a comment -- "...The 99.9% survivable virus is a “relentlessly powerful enemy?”

That is the ostensible logic of those so heavily invested in the "event" as to accept a website's "data" or reject the same website's "data" when it is convenient for their argument. You identify the argument above. A survivable virus is -- insert rhetoric here....

Posted herein from a comment on another thread with sourced data, for your consideration. -----------------------

---- Washington Post says, "Wednesday, Hong Kong recorded 4,285 new infections, and 7,000 preliminary cases. Experts say this number underestimates the severity, as positive results from rapid antigen tests are not officially recognized, and other people probably are skipping tests."

But "Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is a city and special administrative region of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta in South China." Therefore "Hong Kong reported" is "China reported." But that's validated only by a Twitter post in the WaPo article, which doesn't show such numbers. Perhaps an "official source" can assist?

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/china

As of 16 February, 2022, "officially" Confirmed Cases 126,374 Deaths 4,860

( 4,860 JHU-official deaths / 126,374 JHU-official cases ) x 100 = 3.845 % case fatality ratio.

But interesting and officially, if the "official" sources are to be accepted....

( 4,860 JHU-official deaths / 1,448,296,581 population of China which includes Hong Kong ) x 100 = 0.000335 % mortality rate, or death rate.

"Officially," WaPo while writing "Coronavirus infections and deaths continue to rise" the article cites mentions "4,285 new infections, and 7,000 preliminary cases" yet reports NO deaths. Interesting reporting, one might think, A deadly "event" in which "deaths continue to rise" but no number is detailed.

Such a high CFR and such a minuscule mortality rate. One might conclude the "official" narrative is false. WaPo doesn't notice.

You write, " 'The problem; per WaPo is that Hong Kong isn't sufficiently tyrannical." The WaPo piece ends, "Vaccinations work, and they are the only long-term solution." This is marketing, in the guise of reporting.

The long-term solution is the collapse of the Communist Party and its allies spread out across the West, many in Washington.

--------------------------------

Dear HypatiaTaught, here is the irony of the post above and its JHU "data" when related to the rhetorically "relentlessly powerful enemy" in a thread about worldometers' "data."

China, as of today, 17 February 2022, STILL lists China's total worldometers-reported Covid deaths as 4,636, and as the 121st nation in the "data" declaring the US as number 1. Less deaths than the Johns Hopkins "trustworthy" data.

Reference: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

There is indeed a "relentlessly powerful enemy." It is not the Covid-19 virus.

Best wishes.

“ Maine’s problem with processing of backlog of tests may be involved.”

That seems to explain it. (Maine’s variance from declining case trends seen just about everywhere else)

The article that you linked reported that hospitalizations there have already declined by more than a quarter, and wastewater monitoring also indicates that Maine has passed peak.

It also linked to another article, that said to expect some more inflated case numbers, as Maine catches up on reporting its backlog of positive test results. So it just looks like an inept management, rather than anything of significance to the disease.

Roughly 25% more 65+ people in the US died last year than in a pre Covid year. This contributed to about 5 months loss of life expectancy — and that is for lower ages. That effect increases as days pass with excess 65+ deaths.

Nothing that has been tried to stop this has worked. How is this not relentlessly powerful?

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled WORLDOMETER COVID-19 Deaths in USA 2/16/2022: 2,802 with 114,668 new cases Owen wrote:

I don’t get the anger. I asked for an equivalent comprehensive source. You could post such a thing.

There is no argument here. The virus doesn’t care about such things. It doesn’t behave in Honk Kong according to the schedule of the US midterms.

In the end, this is the source of most anger. People can’t bear the idea of a relentlessly powerful enemy. They choose to rage about some other enemy.

Biowarfare conducted against innocent people makes me angry, as do those who help our enemies maim and kill through propaganda.

I've been posting data for about a year now and your kind ignores it after I spend the time to find it. And once I find it, your kind says it's not as good as the data from propaganda sources responsible for war crimes.

There isn't a relentlessly powerful enemy. "Covid" is highly survivable and treatable. Even your excuses are lies buildign the false  mirage of a virus that it a 'relentlessly powerful enemy' when it is no more harmful than the flu, it's just the the CDC et. al denied all treatment to sick people and instead imposed a toxic, too often deadly, "COvid Protocol" nation wide to kill more people.

And there you are, playing 'nice' while helping push the propaganda that is killing and maiming people.

The odds do seem higher that the virus is artificial and created by the Chinese. They’re not stupid people so they must have anticipated there would be mutations and an initial design that perhaps was intended to spare Asian lung cells no longer does.

I certainly had difficulty finding support for this theory in that elderly Asian Americans were getting infected and dying at pretty much the same rate as other races. That certainly seemed to shoot down my theory. It’s also the sort of thing. People in other countries would have noticed and investigated, then there’s been no such claim that Asians were being spared.

I have not seen any of your data that is comprehensive and includes all countries of the world. Data that is not comprehensive and does not include all countries of the world is not useful.

The virus is fundamentally survivable for anyone under the age of call it 55. Vaxxed or not vaxxed, masked or not masked, pre infected or not, dosed up with various treatments or not. 80% of deaths have been 65+, and the remaining 20% slewed towards 64. It can happen younger, but it is rare.

In contrast, an 85 yr old is about 27% likely to die if infected. Saying the virus is fundamentally survivable for that age group is absurd.

In the final reality, old people dying smacks life expectancy.An 85 year old Norwegian who dies 5 years early impacts the life expectancy of 40 year old Norwegians.

You are a soft pedaling propagandist.

Don’t know what that means.

Doesn’t matter, largely. The virus doesn’t care who or what I am. The virus decides what things are in Vietnam or Peru or anywhere. What I have to say means nothing to the next variant particulars.
