These hysterical Leftists put far more people out of work than Sen. Joe McCarthy ever did.
Very good analysis.
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.
Who I sue?
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.
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.
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 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...
Although this virus is real, no one can ever convince me that it has been manipulated by the media and leftist politicians to damage POTUS. To the point of being a hoax.
And it will be milked until November 3, 2020
The whole notion of “expert” should really be re-examined.
In my experience, most “experts” are full of hot air and cannot be relied upon to give good advice. Of course, there are exceptions. But the good experts, I think, tend to be more like technicians. They are people with a very narrow focus who can solve very specific sorts of problems.
The whole idea of a “novel virus” is that no one really knows what they’re dealing with. That’s the “novel” part. You can trot out an “expert” on TV and they can give you a lot of advice — but they don’t know what they’re talking about because this is a new thing and they don’t actually have experience with it.
Granted, in the case of a “novel virus” I would rather talk to an epidemiologist who hadn’t seen it before than a plumber who hadn’t seen it before. But I do not worship the “expert” overmuch. He’s probably still full of hot air. Like a general who is fighting the last war. Or as Mike Tyson said, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face”. Humans muddle through the best they can and it is not always wise to bow down and do whatever the “experts” say.
“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.”
Being able to tell, after the fact, that the “experts” were wrong is not particularly helpful.
Who performed this analysis? Where are the details?
If the quoted statement appeared in the NY Slimes and the sentence ended with "it appears that lockdowns save millions of lives" we'd be demanding answers to the questions I asked.
But we don’t learn. Fauci said the HIV was going to jump and wipe out the heterosexual population. He was DEAD wrong. And “he” is who we are relying on?
Boston’s Pine Street Inn - essentially a homeless shelter for street bums - test 146 residents and all 146 residents tested positive. All were asymptomatic. This implies that at the 95% confidence level, survival rates are close to 98%. The chances of tossing 146 heads in 146 tries with coin that comes up heads 98% of the time is only 5.2%.
