The Chinese COVID virus has turned our country upside down. The unconstitutional lockdown is nothing more than martial law foisted upon us by the elitists and "experts" who pushed forth such outrageous numbers as to place fear into the American people. Using those who are elderly, infirm, or have conditions which can exacerbate the virus as unwilling hostages, the government on both a federal and local level has ignored the constitutional rights of the citizens
The total lockdown of both the economic and social areas of society has done nothing more that extend the period where the virus can spread. We were told it was to "flatten the curve," allowing our hospitals and health care professionals to keep up. Except for New York, there are very few other areas where this would be a concern. The "experts" have moved forward with even more draconian pronouncements from that point. They use the fear of a second wave of the virus as an implement of fear to quell the uprising that is undoubtedly coming.
Governors have used the pandemic to create unconstitutional regulations that do not have the force of law and are arresting patriots who attempt to question these martial law proclamations. For the first time that I can remember, we have a government that sees no reason to doubt the shelter in place of healthy people. The reasoning they use is that the Chinese virus is so contagious that we must be kept apart to stop the spread. The fatality rate of this virus is on par with the flu. We have never shut down the country for the flu, and even though we have a vaccine for the flu with a protection rate of somewhere between 45-50%, we continue to push forward and grow the economy. In 2018, according to the CDC, there were 80,000 deaths from the flu. I want an explanation of why we were not placed under house arrest last year for the flu? It causes one to think there is more to this than the pandemic that the “experts” and media have hyped so much.
The American people need to look at what we know about the Chinese virus and see what we have learned so far. These are facts according to what we have seen so far. 85% of coronavirus patients have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. The original studies that showed millions of deaths were made especially high to scare the American people to stay at home. These numbers were compiled by the same “experts” that stated there would be millions of deaths from H1N1 and SERS. Neither was anywhere close to being correct, but it did inflame the people and media to allow the unconstitutional position we now find ourselves in. Hydroxychloroquine has shown great promise as a treatment and preventive measure but has been ignored by the "experts" as not being safe. The "experts" deciding a treatment that has been around since 1952 needs to be tested for safety. Other new drugs with no background to look at are being pushed as the magic bullet to use. Why? That's simple, even though redemsivir does not work as well as HCQ, it is new, it is patented, and will make both the doctors, Gilead and other producers like Bill Gates money. Where HCQ is sixty cents per pill, redemsivir is over $120.
These are the same people who claim we can't make our own health decisions but must follow government mandates but says a woman has the right to an abortion. Even they can't say the
at abortion is not the taking of a life, but when it comes to the opportunities that the pandemic gives them to control the citizens of our country is just too much to turn away. The talking heads throughout the government and health services proclaim they are protecting us from the virus. The questions should be, who is protecting us from them? Who is protecting us from governors who use law enforcement and the Gestapo of the health departments they administer to ensure strict and unwavering compliance from the citizens who they work for? What gives them the right to track our every move, much like the communist governments in Eastern Europe of yesteryear?

this was a big test, so far we’ve largely failed it
In 2018, according to the CDC, there were 80,000 deaths from the flu. I want an explanation of why we were not placed under house arrest last year for the flu?
Wait... Isn’t that more than the body count for Vietnam??? According to John Hopkins, the death total for Nam is 58,220. But for the record, those that were counted in that total were the ones that died in-country (Nam) not the ones that died in surgery in Japan or in flight to Japan, to in the U.S. due to complications. This is personal knowledge.

Sorry for the multiple posts.
The rallies will continue, and will grow.
We already have been.
Where’s he been?
Storm the Bastille(s)!
Unfortunately, most probably won’t.
So what? Each year, there are about 600,000 deaths from heart disease and about the same number from cancer. In WWII we only lost 500,000.
Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop.
Sorry, I forgot my sarcasm symbol. There have been many libs touting that number to connect that dark time in American history to today. They are trying to amp up their base.
My point is that those numbers are not the total for Viet Nam. I agree with you that we lose way more with the annual flu, heart disease, car accidents (esp drunk driving), cancer, abortion. This is political, not even connected with “our own good”.
yep. We are a patient group. to a point.
It needed Repeating.
;)
Many of these governors have a secret desire to be a prison warden. At this point the people have learned all they need to know about “self preservation” with masks, etc. and stand up to the nanny state controls. Time to stop to “cower-in-place” demands.
Things are brewing out there. The people are just starting to ignore the bs totalitarians. No asking about it....the people are going to be taking back their freedoms in a matter of days. If the dems are smart (not) they will quietly just let it happen. But in the meantime there’s a lot of dem voters rethinking their past affiliations.
We Have Failed,
Well how do We “Fix It?”
