It’s just the flu, bro.

As the CV deaths climb more people are claiming it is not just the flu. Below is an older article but it is still less of an impact than previous several flush seasons in the past 70 years.

The Spanish flu is much worse than any subsequent pandemic because it actually killed young people and had a legitimate affect on the economy and demographics. The number of people functioning in the economy who have been killed by Corona is very low. The Coronavirus economic crisis is, unlike with the Spanish flu, a manufactured one.

Medical authoritarianism seems to be the preferred method to dismantle the freedoms in the constitution. Look for the tyranny to grow as politicians decide their view of the common good is more important the principles of freedom laid out in the constitution.

I could actually tolerate some tyranny at the state level. I know, as did the founders, that federalism would drive states to adopt correct policies over time as people would vote with their feet and move. In a federalist system idiotic medical tyranny would have a much harder time surviving very long. But when the tyranny comes from the Federal government, instead of the state government, it is much more difficult to remove.

Regarding tyranny:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

The hospitals are paid extra for COVID-19 patients, so naturally, some hospitals will fake 1000s of cases, and the Democrats won't have legal liability. A guy in a motorcycle accident reported that the ambulance paramedics decided to mark him as COVID-19 positive just so he could get into the hospital. In another case, a guy was sick with cancer for 5 years, finally died from cancer, and his death cert says he died from COVID-19. We have 2 cases where a person made an appointment to get a test for COVID-19, never showed up, and they still tested as positive. There is another case where a person was tested in a hospital, twice, both tests were negative, and his diagnosis was STILL COVID-19.

And we still have a goat and a fruit that tested positive for COVID-19, that indicates there is something seriously wrong with the test itself. https://wordsalad.info/2020/05/covid-19-tests-are-broken-all-showed-positive-for-a-goat-fruit-and-more/
We have studies that say that masks are not effective. And some studies that say they are. This tells me we don't really understand the science to tell if masks are effective or not. https://wordsalad.info/2020/07/cdc-lists-people-who-do-not-have-to-wear-a-mask/
A CDC page lists people who don't have to wear a mask, yet they deleted the page. The screen shot of the old page is here: https://wordsalad.info/2020/07/cdc-lists-people-who-do-not-have-to-wear-a-mask/.
If masks are effective, why did we have to shut down business? If they're not effective, why are we FORCED to wear them at all? Why can't masks be optional? Because this isn't about science, it's about politics.
Testing shows masks have very high levels of CO2 in them, and my friends report that they feel dizzy after wearing a mask after just 30 minutes.

I think whatever this is has been greatly exaggerated for political reasons. Yet Trump keeps on winning, as Democrat cities burn to the ground.

Dunno if anyone else had this experience, but it was a watershed-event for me.

Went into a Sportsmans Warehouse in Utah and noticed NOT ONE PERSON had a mask on. I unsuccessfully tried to find some ammo, and as I was heading for the door, it hit me on how much freer I felt being in an area where no one wore a mask. It was like “The Old Days”. Went back in and wandered about for another 10 minutes savoring the aura.

I never realized how oppressive this mandatory mask thing had been weighing on me.
