The boy who cried wolf. In the future when we have a REAL health crisis, no one will listen.

These hysterical Leftists put far more people out of work than Sen. Joe McCarthy ever did.

Bill Gates is the Al Gore Junior of pandemic panics.

Both aim to get rich and powerful selling doomsday predictions

States with a hard-core lockdown and states without it would show similar results if the people in the states with hard-core lockdown aren’t paying much attention to it. Here in Pennsylvania, I saw LOTS of people - even older people, without masks or anything else going into the grocery store.

That’s right. All of this was for nothing. Now can we please reopen the economy? The bigger issue will. e getting the word to my sheeple neighbors who want to know where to report someone out walking their dog without a mask on. I wish they would stay isolated forever but unfortunately there are too many of them and the economy needs them

Not one expert was wrong.

A lot of people who had the ability to can a portion of the population into believing that they were more knowledgeable and more honest than they are were wrong, and some of those people have talked their way into jobs they aren’t capable of performing.

But zero experts were wrong.

Poor Mr Thompson and poor Liberty7732; trying to bring logic and reason to a forum filled with folks who are already drunk on the panic Koolaid, convinced they are wonderful saviors by participating in hibernating everyone from everyone at the government’s command. Meanwhile bad ole “socialist” Sweden ignores that Koolaid.

In reality, we will know by probably mid fall if the expert class made a colossal mistake. And if so, a lot of heads should roll, because mistakes of this magnitude cannot be tolerated.
Anyone have the list of stages of a project? Enthusiasm to start - and at the end, rewards for failure and blame for the people who were right.

The colossal mistake, if such it was, was by the Fauchis and Birxes of the world - enthusiastically (per usual) supported by journalism.

Walking their dog with out a mask? Oh the horror.
Dogs should have masks. They might spread something.

All kidding aside, I see lots of people around here with no protection in the grocery. Most of the old folks are wearing masks.

If Wittkowski is right, at least to some degree, these shutdowns may well have destroyed the strongest economy in history and ultimately made the virus impact worse. That would be a failing of the expert class in truly epic fashion.

It will be interesting to see how the leftist media pivots from first blaming Pres. Trump for responding to the Corona "crisis" too late, then claiming he should not have responded at all.

Given the incubation rate and the speed of travel by airplane, this virus may likely have already been inside the country before we fully realized it. This isn’t 1918 and 1919 where you took a ship home. This is 2020, where airplanes have flown all the way across the oceans (At least the Atlantic) for almost 100 years.

2500 people died from Coronavirus yesterday in the US, but 30,000 died of the flu each year. Not even close.

I am certain that they will. Trump always has to be wrong to them, no matter what he does.

30,000 is an old number. The CDC counted over 70,000 flu deaths in 2018-2019, and around 80,000 in 2017-2018.

I guess this Dr Witkowski feels deBlasio is a hero. He took forever to close the schools, even after teachers in his largest school, Brooklyn Tech ( 6700 students and staff) had tested positive. And the students come from four of the five boroughs and take mass transit. And of course they have working parentd and younger siblings. So they did a great job spreading the virus. NYC has done so much better than elsewhere...oh wait...
