UN predicts hundreds of thousands of children will die from virus-induced economic shutdown
Grim news about the number of children worldwide expected to
perish this year because of the coronavirus-induced economic
downturn have added substance to President Donald Trumps
concerns about the cure potentially being worse than the
disease.
According to a United Nations report on the coronaviruss
impact on children released last Wednesday, hundreds of
thousands of kids may die before years end because of the
economic realities being engendered by the current crisis.

There was a clip of Dr. Birx the other day, posted by LisaMeiCrowley, I believe I recall, that had Birx saying, “there is no flu anymore”, suggesting, indeed, that the numbers we’re now seeing for “COVID-19” now includes traditional flu alongside Caronavirus.

MA Chief of Police now on “Administrative Leave” after being busted in pedo sting: https://tbdailynews.com/fitchburg-pedophile-poacher-vigilantes-allegedly-catch-stow-ma-chief-of-police-ralph-marino-in-sting-to-meet-14-year-old-boy/
Anecdotal stuff I’ve seen here and elswhere:
People testing positive but with minimal symptoms often are not contacted again so many may not be counted as “recovered”.
Read one account of someone with symptoms but minimal DX as covid19 but not tested, although she repeated asked to be tested. Was she the only one or are there many more like her?
Deaths not tested but with symptoms counted as covid19 deaths, either Birx or on the CDC site.
From what I’ve read, any deaths testing positive for covid19 even if they also have flu, counted as covid (and of course other perhaps very serious co-morbidities).
My speculation - Demshevik governors/state health depts run by Dems could easily fundge numbers, goal of course to make Orange Man Bad lose support for election time.
Thanks. Will clickit.

#FakeNews MSDNC - literally making stuff up!

Seen the viral photo that purportedly shows a Trump supporter displaying a swastika at the Lansing, Mich. protest against Gov. Whitmer’s stay-at-home orders?
It’s a hoax.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlaH00Z4hd8&feature=youtu.be
The photo was *NOT* taken at the Michigan rally that Governor Whitmer & Congresswoman Debbie Dingell were “protesting” - no, indeed ... the photo of the Nazi emblem with “Trump / Pence” on it was actually created by a BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTER on February 29, 2020 at a PRO-BERNIE rally in Boise, ID
Is it possible, that some of these folks are in on the act, and will all of a sudden do an about face? Probably not, but it is odd.

It is a movie (show).

Couple of things to think about:
Lots of lurkers to these threads who may pop up now and then; just because we don’t know someone doesn’t mean they’re a shill.
Some people who lurk may not even be a FR member and may register just to ask questions or participate.
The above may very well increase as Stuff gets heavier.
Q said a lot of people will need educating.
Insulting them will not only not help educate them but will drive them away - the exact opposite of WWG1WGA. And won’t just drive away the one so insulted, but other people who read this thread. Who wants to ask a question and get attacked right off the bat?
I was thinking Percy or Cyril.
That’s great. I just got someone to watch it.
We were never told that. Some have inferred that different posts have different tones. But we have NEVER been told its a team. Or not a team.
Also we avoid speculation on who it is lest we accidentally doxx them.
Someone remembered - Brutalist Architecture.
You reminded me of my visit with my grandmother to Romania in the late ‘70s. Every thing new looked just as you described. The most beautiful buildings were the churches built before the communists took over.
*********
In the early 2000’s those massive square apartment complexes still stood ugly, but the people of Romania stood free. They hung advertising banners across the fronts.
Only the older architecture looked new. In the village of Rosnov there is a row of nice looking building facing the road coming into the village. Behind that stood the “Civilized Gypsy” shanties. The front buildings were for show. The people of Romania are amazing in their resilience.
I loved the three summers, during which I spent one to two weeks, working on volunteer projects for the people.

The only reason the pen was important was because it is known that President Trump favors that exact model. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also the model watch he wears, though I do not know that.
Crazy error message when I tried to post a bunch of tweets. Did a test post and it worked. Twitter messages? can’t post. Testing this one.
