It’s just the flu, bro.
The best Coronavirus insights I have found on Twitter are from: @gummibear737 @jamestodaroMD @boriquagato They like to use analysis to show that this is overblown hype.

National opposition to the lockdowns is rising everyday. Trump needs to emphasize that the lockdowns are now doing more harm than good. It will help him and it will help down the ballot. The right position (I.e. the Flubro position) on this will shift votes to the GOP. It will shift lefties from the Biden camp to just not bothering to vote and it will shift undecided to Trump.

WHO (Accidentally) confirms that COVID is no more dangerous than flu.

IBK! It’s gonna be a good day!
It appears to be dangerous in old people’s facilities. Ask Cuomo.
We’re all 217,738 tested?
Was that the actual cause of death for every single one?
I look forward to your non answers...

Since you have your finger on the data, can you tell us...
how many of those [+56,652 NEW CASES] resulted in death?
How many resulted in admission to ICU for respiratory support?
How many resulted in a visit to the Emergency Room?
How many resulted in a weekend of of their Bubbe feeding them chicken soup?
COVID is not DEATH
It’s just the flu, bro.
Do not let the fear of the hoax dominate your life. Shake hands like a man should. To hell with this fist bumping, elbow smacking bs
The last number I saw said something like 6% of that number were actually COVID only deaths, but that could be just as faulty as the other numbers associated with this fiasco.
I heard yesterday that the feds did not require a positive test for diagnosis until September. Before that the doctors could just say the deceased had COVID symptoms.
7 Oct: BBC: Coronavirus: Health experts join global anti-lockdown movement
Thousands of scientists and health experts have joined a global movement warning of “grave concerns” about Covid-19 lockdown policies.
Nearly 6,000 experts, including dozens from the UK, say the approach is having a devastating impact on physical and mental health as well as society.
They are calling for protection to be focused on the vulnerable, while healthy people get on with their lives...
But the movement - known as the Great Barrington Declaration - mirrors some of the warnings in a letter signed by a group of GPs in the UK.
Sixty-six GPs, including TV doctors Dr Phil Hammond and Dr Rosemary Leonard and a number of medics who have held senior roles at the British Medical Association, have written to the health secretary, saying there is insufficient emphasis on “non-Covid harms” in the decision-making...

4 May: Aljazeera: British-style lockdowns are not working in Africa
The rushed imposition of rigid lockdowns unleashed widespread social instability and economic uncertainty in Africa.

The rushed and broadly contentious imposition of rigid lockdowns in Africa, however, unleashed widespread social instability, hunger and profound economic uncertainty, leaving vendors, small-scale farmers and undocumented migrants struggling to survive...
Post-COVID-19, many African states might struggle to meet the growing expectations of citizens whose livelihoods have been severely disrupted or irretrievably destroyed by the unintended consequences of enacting unworkable lockdowns...

22 Apr: NYT: ‘Instead of Coronavirus, the Hunger Will Kill Us.’ A Global Food Crisis Looms.
The world has never faced a hunger emergency like this, experts say. It could double the number of people facing acute hunger to 265 million by the end of this year.
By Abdi Latif Dahir
In India, thousands of workers are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to keep hunger at bay.
And across Colombia, poor households are hanging red clothing and flags from their windows and balconies as a sign that they are hungry...
The coronavirus pandemic has brought hunger to millions of people around the world. National lockdowns and social distancing measures are drying up work and incomes, and are likely to disrupt agricultural production and supply routes — leaving millions to worry how they will get enough to eat...
Altogether, an estimated 265 million people could be pushed to the brink of starvation by year’s end.
“We’ve never seen anything like this before,” Mr. Husain (chief economist at the World Food Program) said. “It wasn’t a pretty picture to begin with, but this makes it truly unprecedented and uncharted territory.”...
Already, from Honduras to South Africa to India, protests and looting have broken out amid frustrations from lockdowns and worries about hunger. With classes shut down, over 368 million children have lost the nutritious meals and snacks they normally receive in school...

WaPo - 14 May 2020
I think there is no doubt about that.
"Asked about the possibility of impeaching President Trump or Attorney General Barr as a way to block a Supreme Court confirmation in a post-election lame-duck session, Pelosi replied, "Well, we have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I'm not about to discuss right now.""
It's about an election, not a virus.
The lockdown is also destroying the economy.
This insanity needs to end.
7 Oct: NBC Bay Area: Stanford Professor Warns COVID Shelter-in-Place Orders Are ‘Killing People’
by Bigad Shaban, Robert Campos, Tony Rutanashoodech, Mark Villarreal and Jeremy Carroll
Dr. John Ioannidis is among a growing number of scientists who believe the current shelter-in-place orders in California continue to impose excessive and potentially harmful measures on most of the population, while failing to adopt strong enough restrictions to adequately protect those who are most vulnerable to the coronavirus.
“We can take even more draconian measures to protect people and locations and settings that we know at very high risk,” said Ioannidis, a Harvard-trained doctor of internal medicine, infectious disease specialist and professor of medicine at Stanford University...
At the same time, Ioannidis is convinced that shelter in place orders are doing great harm to the rest of society.
“We know that 95% of the population has practically minimal risk,” he said, adding “It’s unlikely that in the current situation we are really saving lives. I think that probably we’re killing people by following some of these measures for forever.”
According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, 29% of Americans are avoiding or delaying medical care due to fear of catching the coronavirus...

Absolutely. At risk people need to protect themselves and everybody else needs to live their life in my opinion.
Yes
our beloved President needs to address the deaths of despair
he needs to encourage national chains from being mask Nazis
we need to conquer the fear
9 Oct: The Star, Kenya: Corona to push 40 million in Africa into extreme poverty - World Bank
by VICTOR AMADALA
Coronavirus is threatening to push 40 million people in Africa into extreme poverty, eroding development gains of the past decade, World Bank has said.
In its The global lender revealed this in the latest Africa’s Pulse report released Thursday, saying the continent’s economy will decline by 3.3 per cent this year, the region’s first recession in 25 years.
Titled ‘Charting the way to recovery’, the report indicates that while the health consequences of the Covid-19 have been less devastating than expected, the combination of domestic lockdowns and related spillovers from the global recession significantly impacted economic activity...
In Nigeria and South Africa, the region’s two largest economies, growth declines were particularly pronounced, with sharp drops by 6.1 percent and 17.1 percent year-on-year, respectively...
