Free America now! End this lockdown, open up the economy.

These corona virus death tolls are bogus.There was never a first wave of deaths that surpassed that of the usual common flu . That this corona virus is a pandemic to worry about more than the flu is a total hoax. So to worry about a “2nd wave” of a common cold is ridiculous.

Look at Candace Owens Twitter, other twitter accounts that show these corona virus death tolls are highly inflated

This video shows how they are inflating the covid deaths:

This is all just massive fear campaign meant to destroy the economy and defeat Trump.

Even Elon Musk tweeted :Free America now!

When President Trump declared national emergency in March, we had to flatten the curve so our medical system will not get overwhelmed. Mission’s accomplished. Now let’s open up the country and we have to prevent those Governors from continuing to lock up the nation. Especially in Oregon. Virginia. A few other states I’m sure. It’s time to LIBERATE!

There will definately be a 2nd wave, and it’ll be a big one. Just as the Chinese government gave low numbers for their political purposes, so will our government officials exaggerate our numbers for their political gain.

I don't think it will be so big.

People are being careful these days and it's not being spread so unawares.

Additionally, I think a lot of people are going to be far better prepared than they were for the first one.

AP is not worried about virus boomerang they are worried about an economic recovery.

A second wave is going to come. Maybe a third. What is the alternative? Keep the country shutdown for a year?

“If we relax these measures without having the proper public health safeguards in place, we can expect many more cases and, unfortunately, more deaths,” said Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy with the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington.

Let's withhold his paycheck for a couple of months and see if he comes to the same conclusion.

If we had the Hong Kong flu today , adjusting for and older fatter and larger population, they estimate 250,000 dead. Picked up while researching that flu event that I lived through when I was 10.

Prepare up to 300,000 dead as we develop herd immunity.

an all-but-certain second wave of deaths and infections that could force governments to clamp back down in a drawn-out, two-steps-forward-one-step-back process.

Just in time for the election.

Fraud-by-mail.

Now that the globalist forces have discovered the perfect weapon to use on the population don’t be surprised if they use this over and over again. Every year there are flus and many people die from it but there is not a panic because the media have not gone into full terror mode as they have with Covid19. Now whenever there is a flu the media will personalize it with personal stories of people who have died from the flu. We will see their pictures. We will have interviews with their family members. This could be your mother or grandmother-—wear your mask or granny will die! When an occasional child dies the media will hop on that with adorable baby pictures. If you do not stay in and wear your masks and give up your jobs you will be responsible for that innocent child’s life!

They can suppress the economy whenever they want to depending on who they want to harm.

Relatively low mutation rate for the virus means less chance of a particularly virulent strain arising. A second wave may be steeper but with less area under the curve, due to fewer non-immune subjects.

One of the best kept secrets around is BHT short for butylated hydroxy toluene.

It has been around for the better part of thirty years or more, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense. Without going into all the details which would fill many pages some of the benefits are difficult to ignore even so pharmaceutical as well as the medical profession does their best to do so. As a prophylactic it would serve its purpose very well until the right vaccine comes along, without any undesirable side effects, besides being inexpensive and is safer than alcohol consumption, use of tobacco or many other unhealthy eating habits.

Some of the reasons are that that there is no money to be made by pharmaceutical companies as patents related to BHT ran out long time ago and in order to have it approved for medical application it would require an immeasurable amounts of human tests with expenditures in the millions of Dollars which most likely will never be recovered.

On the other hand many doctors may know about it but will refrain from suggesting it as recommending anything which is not approved by the FDA would leave them wide open to lawsuits, as it is pretty well known that one of the American dreams is, to fall on your neighbors property and then sue them for what ever they can get.

Over the years enough information about BHT has surfaced that if used in small quantities to achieve a particular result, such as from 100 mg to about 1g (one gram or 1000mg) and in most cases 250mg to 450mg may do a nice job for some of the things suggested, it may be less harmful than an equivalent amount of Aspirins. Again do your own research and use common sense which appears to be in short supply these days.

Even so, if you still apprehensive or hesitant use it only when one of those nasty viruses appears on the scene and use it as a prophylactic in a small quantity perhaps 200 mg and once the danger subside stop taking it. The catch is that in order to do its job BHT works better before you get sick, as BHT will NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGE which may already have been done by an infectious disease such as the corona virus. Even so if taken afterwards BHT will still continue to disable lipid covered viruses, but to repair any damage already caused may require different medications.

So why to take BHT on the firs place? It has been long known that BHT will remove the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such a virus and by doing so will prevent such a virus from attaching itself and do its dirty work.

The Principal Benefits of BHT

In order of importance, supplementing with BHT can help with:

Reduce and prevent viral infections such as herpes, thus terminating their outbreaks. Also BHT is effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and some strains of influenza.13 A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be treated by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat these infections.

The CORONAVIRUS is also a lipid covered virus and BHT affects the lipid covering and in turn prevents the virus from attaching itself and do its damage. Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well. So when everything comes down to being cut and dried, do you prefer risking being infected with a nasty virus with all kinds of unpredictable side effects or take a chance with some substance which overall has a very good safety record.

Besides most viruses will mutate over time, and by the time someone may come up with the proper vaccine it may no longer match the virus which is currently making its round. But BHT doesn’t care if such a virus mutates or not. As long as such a virus has a lipid coating it will remove it and disable such a virus.

You are exactly correct. The virus is real, but this has now become one big bait-and-switch scam.

If they think the entire public will obediently submit to another lockdown, they’ve got another thing coming.

Next time they scream “we’re all going to die!” it’s going to work like this: If you’re at-risk, stay home. But leave the rest of us free to go about our lives and attempt to keep this economy afloat until you feel safe to join us.

Who knows how many dead there will be? But it is what it is because they aren't going to shut things down again.

I’m paranoid anymore and not only do I think in some places the virus was deliberately “allowed” to be placed but they could start another round just before the election...

I actually think that we are closer to herd immunity than anyone thinks.

I am sorry I cannot buy into 300,000 deaths when there are only 240,000 deaths world wide.

Second Wave?

Outside of New York and New Jersey it hasn’t even peaked yet.
