It’s just the flu, bro.
Mistake 1 - Lockdown We all know that the lockdown was a stupid idea. The curve could always have been flattened by voluntary means and by putting a special emphasis on the dangers to very old/sick.
Mistake 2 - keeping the lockdown After it became clear that the curve didn’t need to be flattened and that hospitals were laying people off, then the lockdown should have been ended. But the government tyrants doubled down.
Mistake 3 - paying people and businesses 39k to use a ventilator on someone...giving people 20 dollars an hour not to work when they used to make 8 dollars an hour...trillions of dollars to companies and states. The CV government gravy train will help make many rich, just like with global warming. It also made people complacent about the lockdown.
Mistake 4 - caring about what scientists say about public policy Listen to scientists about science (maybe) but don’t dare give these people power over public policy unless they get elected. Buckley has said he would rather be ruled by the first 2000 people in the Boston phone book than by the faculty at Harvard.
Mistake 5 - not allowing protests First amendment is more important that the Wuhan flu and it is more important than any disease - even a future one that may disfigure and kill little children.
I know I am missing a few hundred mistakes so feel free to add to the list.
There’s not any mourning on the “it’s just the flu bro” threads.
It’s ignorance yelling, loudly.
That is what the left wants, yes.
Easily countered by % positive stats.
E.g. https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98163_98173_99225-—,00.html
The number of tests goes up, so the cases don’t drop off, but the rate of positive tests declines.
This page also shows the idiocy of statewide lockdowns when so many are over this or never had enough to warrant any action.
Correct, they don’t say they are disrespecting the dead. They just do it in woefully loud “flubro” ignorance.
It’s a comment about disrespect for the tens of thousands of America’s dead due to the ChiCom Virus.
I stated otherwise.
What you are continuously missing in this whole virus episode is that it is not about a virus. Period
Open your eyes. People die every day from various things. Numbers are being falsified all over the place but you refuse to see it. There is a political agenda at work.
Are you mourning in every word, conversation or social media post you make everywhere?
Didn’t think so.
People CAN multitask and talk about different things.
For a second BMcFrog, I thought I was on a Leftist thread somewhere, such is the sympathy offered here by some for the Chinese Communist Party.
After all, it’s just “the flu bro.”
No need to be cross with the ChiComs and their ChiCom Virus.
Sad.
With all due respect Maskot, I disagree.
The grim tallies of America’s dead not to mention the harm with so many hospitalized suggest this is not a mere virus and there’s no political agenda on any side that can wish that away.
To say it’s not about the ChiCom Virus is a sad suggestion.
Sure, what would you like to talk about BMcFrog?
Or did you want to join in with the mocking chorus of “it’s just the flu bro?”
Yup. Like I said my brother does this for a living. People die every day. Often horribly. The only difference is that the media is not in your face barking numbers 24/7.
My dad had cancer. They were getting ready to refer him for experimental pain treatments when he was killed by an embolism caused by one of the drugs he was taking.
I think he would have gladly chosen a corona death over the one he was facing.
This germ is not the only way that people die.
Not the worst.
If I wasn’t a nice guy, I’d tell you to piss off.
Robbing our future economy and children of trillions of dollars to put together stimulus packages filled with democrat pork and hidden surprises
Yes, you did.
“Well, that’s nice. Here’s to your brother’s future success.
How many policies will he urge issued for people over 40 who turn out to be infected with the ChiCom Virus?
Ask him and let us know.”
“Yes, you can quote me and President Trump on it.
The ChiCom Virus is not the flu. It is not influenza. It is not like any recent flu, not in deaths and not in actuality.”
“Nothing made up changes the tens of thousands of America’s dead due to the ChiCom Virus.
If you want to argue that, I think there’s a Chinese Communist Party membership waiting for you.”
“The grim tallies of America’s dead not to mention the harm with so many hospitalized suggest this is not a mere virus and there’s no political agenda on any side that can wish that away.”
You’re in full hysterical belief that the flu is the black plague unlike anything we’ve ever encountered before.
You’re demanding that government react in response to that belief.
You’re demanding that everyone wail in fear as you to prevent “further suffering”
The fact is - you’re arguing policy and weaselly hiding behind “honoring and respecting the dead” as a typical propaganda position.
Think of the DEAD!
Think of the CHILDREN!
There - your own quotes, fearbro.
So you don’t have to write anything specific either. Your insults and name calling linked with shaming for thoughts not actually expressed are proof you want to shut down dissent. Very Alinsky of you by the way.
Here’s a tip for you. FluBro is a bit of gallows humor. People know, as acknowledged upthread, that Covid-19 is not influenza. They also know that influenza has brought much worse pandemics, in 1918, 1957, and 1968, the latter two occurring during my lifetime. Yet none of those events triggered the same kind of lockdowns instituted across the board like today. We’re the authorities and medical experts pissing on the dead back then?
at least he’s got a new set of meaningless graphs he is endlessly posting
I saw no dancing on graves. in fact he is working long hours at personal risk to keep people out of graves. What are you doing other than spreading fear and wringing hands?
He is looking at this in a very one-dimensional way.
Corona is the ONLY way to die.
We don’t rack-up startling daily body counts from other causes when the media is silent and no one is looking.
People don’t die from harmful fallout of the shutdown.
etc.
Those 60,000 would be dead. o matter what we do with the lockdown charade. We are ruining added lives with the hysteria and economic suicide pact you seem to love. Gas dr is working in covid units at personal risk to save lives. What are you doing keyboard warrior?
Gee, you’re swell.
