I do believe it was all a ‘Trial Run’ to see how far the left could push and people would accept-
Will they do this for every flu season now? Claiming flues kill too many people and we need to ‘shelter inplace to cut down on the amount of deaths from flues”?
This is confirmed by the hundreds of millions of dollars that virtually every big company is spending on TV advertising trying to normalize at-home incarceration.
Those companies aren’t going to stop showing those commercials just because COVID is no longer viewed as a threat. They are trying very hard to condition us to remain serfs.
Fiction. Trump wont allow it.
This guy wasted a lot of research and time and energy an anger.
This lockdown stuff is already failing in much more docile countries.
We will see more and more acts of defiance and the authorities will be overwhelmed.
It might seem like small steps, but already some politicians are pushing up their timelines DRAMATICALLY...from days and weeks instead of months.
And some changes have already been made.
And this guy INSULTS the majority of Americans because he thinks we’ll stand for it again.
He’s got the wrong country.
I’ll get a million replies about “Americans are so docile and compliant now and the deep state is too powerful and WHO and China and blah ####ing blah.”
Let’s see what the next 2 months bring.
Then get back to me
You know, you don’t have to post every article or blog post that you come across related to the Covid. :)
The mitigating factors will be how effective central bank stimulus is at stalling the freefall
Uhmmm...nope
If you aren’t producing stuff so you can buy more stuff then central bank isn’t going be of much help at all
Fantasy!!
We MUST resist the current lockdown and absolutely go to war against another one.
“What we know right now is that the virus is at least three times more deadly that the average annual flu; “
Stop right there, anywhere from 80 to 30 percent of deaths are people in nursing homes where the average stay before death is 6 months,, these people used to pad the numbers would have died anyway.. take away 50 percent of the deaths and the numbers are no more than a flu, and no more than auto deaths, ... its all BS to scare people even this article.. no way three times worse..
Regarding here in IL, the DOJ has gotten involved.

A long-winded nut job.
Government hand-outs are like heroin, and those that offer them are like drug pushers. Once you’re hooked, you pay, but it’s very hard to get the monkey off your back.
We’ve become accustomed to routine school lockdowns. LEO routinely orders shelter in place for entire blocks due to a “stand off” or some other event. Now they can shut down entire countries. Sure seems like we have been conditioned to accept tyranny. It’s for our own good, right? /s
Whatever plan they intend to execute depends on fear. Fear is easy to create over the short run, but not over the long run.
Fear is very fleeting. If there is nothing occurring to warrant that fear, it will fade quickly, especially if people start thinking that they were had in the first place.
I think that the fact that we have also sorts of Democrat talking heads telling us about the virtue of the lockdown and wearing masks is a clear indication that we are being lied to by all the usual liars, and their purpose is, of course, to advance their agenda, because that’s literally all they do.
We can take the masks off when the virus quits circulating in our areas.
Quite the fantasy.
Not happening.
I was out and about the DFW area today and it was BUSTLING. Glad to see it.
Revolutions happen when people have nothing left to lose. We ducked a revolution during the Great Depression (although some would argue that FDR’s administration was a progressive revolution).
Revolutions rarely turn out they way they were intended. Our revolution against England is a notable exception. Most turn out to be more repressive than the government they replace. Our revolution turned out to be the exception because the people GAINED more freedom.
According to a new Imperial College study, about half of our states (24) have uncontrolled spread. So stay out of those states. There are going to be counties within a state where the spread isn’t controlled. Stay out of those counties. I’d say with few exceptions, most businesses can be run by staying in their own county. And I’d say with few exceptions, most people work and shop and recreate within their own county. So stay in your county. Support your local businesses. Be smart in the workplace. And if your county isn’t safe, you know the drill. Limit grocery trips, long lines, crowded conditions and just have a heightened awareness of your surroundings and who is surrounding you. There’s really not much else that a person can do, except make sure you top off your canned food and paper goods in case your county tips to the uncontrolled side.
I don’t buy into the doom and gloom that some articles paint. None of them seem to account for the intelligence and tenacity of Americans. In spite of the influx over the last several years of migrants from totalitarian, dictatorships or socialist backgrounds who are used to being cowered, there are plenty enough natives to provide counterbalance. The USA should come thru this just fine. The bigger problem will be how well our allies and trading partners come thru so that foreign trade as well as domestic business can return to pre-CCPVirus levels - with the huge exception of China
Interesting article and discussion. Thanks to all posters. Preparing the POPCON battlefield? Measuring metrics of their immune systems?
