It’s just the flu, bro.
A fact that has come out of this CV hoax and the GW hoax is that people in government who claim that they are acting on behalf of science are leftists. They try and use their PhD to promote their leftist causes at every turn. Just look at University professors - 90% Democrat. This should be a learning experience for Trump and all future Republican presidents - when you come into office replace every single one of these supposedly politically neutral scientists with a scientist who you trust. If a Democrat appointed the scientist then the scientist is a leftist, guaranteed.
One PhD I trust is Dr. Ned Nikolov (he is on twitter and is great to follow). He has been debunking both the CV and GW hoaxes. He actually read through WHO reports showing in 2019 that general lockdowns during pandemics were ineffective. Then that same organization comes out with recommendations for a lockdown during CV. The leftist scientists in WHO, and in our government, want anything that brings about socialism and they must be stopped.
Over 52,000 Americans are dead from the ChiCom Virus but blatant ignorance is so funny. Yell it loud, dumb and proud.

Embrace the hysteria.
And, the agenda is disruption and destruction of FRee Republic.
They’re fat old retired guys terrified of death and yet too cowardly to live free...
As sure as the sun comes up tomorrow, there will be a day of reckoning for the Chicoms. Once we get through this lockdown lunacy I expect Trump to unleash Peter Navarro on the Chinese.
Who pays you? What do you do for money to live upon?
Nah, paid trolls. But I want to hear the answer from them.
With all due respect You are mixing the political with the medical. There is no evidence as to this being a bio weapon although my gut tells me you are correct
What is devastating to us as much is the gross overreaction to this virus. In point of fact it is far less let’s have and probably has been spreading much longer than the experts eirh give credence Ron. I personally have been treating non influenza ARDS since late December. It has made little sense until we got alll the testing.
The fact is that the shutdown has been far more dangerous. The numbers are collapsing and given the real data from the individual boards of heartthrob we seem far past the peak. Additionally presumptive dx, af least in NYC are inflating the numbers by at least 50% ( 10,371 confirms mortality and 16,000 or so officially counted)
If presumptive deaths are inflating the numbers this much than the real mortality is about 33% lower which places true mortality in the range of 34,000 nationwide on an every increasing N
The problem here was the abject failure to timely release a shut down once we realized the hospitals are not overwhelmed. If we are treating since December the uncontrolled spread never overwhelmed our resources.
The data and evidence are clear as a bell. For this willing to truly look at it and reasonably analyze what has happened
Oh and FWIW I think it WAS a bio weapon that fizzled. And I think the Chinese now have a much better idea how to harm us and it involves jujitsu — using us against ourselves.
Pleas excuse any typos I am not using a computer at the time and please also understand we will have people swooping I’m here gleefully posting numbers in a vacuum without any semblance of analysis or critical thinking merely to continue the shut down.
You know as well as I do we have drugs that stop awful diseases — problem is they kill the patient. I fear that is what we have done here with the United States and it’s economy.
Impimp and seekandfind and gas_dr - you are famous now!
““It’s just the flu, bro” has been a sort of know-nothing rallying cry for those skeptical of government lockdowns and social-distancing efforts this spring.”
The “know-nothing” phrase is perfect. How many people read your FR posts? And how many people read Bloomberg news? LOL you guys are world famous idiots.

Right on time with flawed info but you never answer
1. Testing now includes antibody testing. All experts have agree that the numbers are going to go upas testing is expanded to include antibody and immunity testing. This is actually acting to further drive down the death rate
2. Most boards are including presumptive deaths in their cases. In NYC there are 10,000 confirmed deaths with Covid (mind you this is just laboratory confirmation there is no delineation between due to CoVId and someone who died with CoVId) and 16,000 reported in the count that gets put up on the site you breathlessly report from. This means that the true numbers are inflated 50%. If we you understood this you could then probably do the simple analysis to find that given the way things are recorded the true number is actually only about 34,000 nationwide (2/3 the reported count).
3. Given that we are off on our projected cases by several factors and that the true number of deaths is likely lower than the breathless reporting from sites you like, mortality rate is dropping to around .2-.3 and will likely continue to fall to the level of — wait for it — the seasonal flu.
4. All the experts who have generated fear are also stating that the mortality rate is past its peak in the hot spots, net discharges are much greater than admissions (resolves cases that are NOT being included in your previous numbers for several more weeks) and that by Memorial Day this will be behind us
You seem to not understand the politics and have become a shill for the intellectually dishonest. Shame on you. You claim to be a physician so show some critical thinking or analysis. You are embarrassing our profession
We are in complete agreement with both the overreaction and the probability of this being a bio-weapon delivered to us from China. These are unifying positions for our side going forward. As to what we can do, I suggest we completely support the freedom efforts of the individual states as they organize to open their businesses back up while all the time education our fellow dolt citizens as to what this virus is and where it came from. Again, to say this is the flu (perhaps unintentionally) relieves the Chinese of any responsibility they deserve.
There is no evidence 52,000 people died from the Corona Virus...
I would send you the same response from above personally. If your willful ignorance and blind following of numbers from a single source with poor methodology marks you as a puppet of the Fearpers and an ignorant fool to boot. Please see my above posts. Of course you will have no answer, mind you, as you are either to stupid to understand the basic math and logic involved in those posts or you are a tinpot crackpot dictator committed to controlling everyone. Hey here is an idea for you, apply for the job opening in North Korea. I hear they have a position you might like — your word is never challenged, you get to control everyone and you never have to be questioned. It’s perfect for you!
Yes but he surely is hinting at going there.
I’m paid my own efforts in work.
Did you find the truth unpleasant?
How stupit.
Both things can be and are true. It was intentionally realeased upon the world by China AND its just the flu.
The wild card is the panic babies' (fearbros like you) reaction to it.
Its understandable, though. You've spent a lifetime believing what the derp state tells you. Why should it be any different now?
“There is no evidence 52,000 people died from the Corona Virus... “
So comforting to the families of the 52,000 who died at the hands of the ChiCom Virus.
You’re swell.
I believe both of them hold themselves out to be physicians. However they are an embarrassment to the profession as their posts clearly lack any shred of critical thinking, data analysis or understanding of a complex multi variable system. The take as gospel a single source with no depth of understanding or critique of how those source numbers are derived.
You know, the things we would expect scientists to do.
“single source, poor methodology...”
Wait, did you just call the ChiCom Virus deaths, now over 52,000 dead Americans in mere weeks a hoax?
Because that has a familiar dr. gasbag odor.
What kind of business, lobbying for hire?
