“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Next hobgoblin, please. This one has gotten old.

Hear, hear!

The most threatening virus we have to contend with now is the virus of Leftist tyranny and abuse.

Even at ground zero..NYC..(I live on Staten Island) I STILL don’t know one person that has shown signs of being sick or even KNOWS someone who’s shown signs of being sick.

I word it that way because likely some of us have had it.

I’m talking hundreds of people.

It’s just no one has had so much as a sniffle or small cough in that entire group.

Not exactly the black death.

The object of all this mayhem was to crash the economy and get rid of Trump so we could have a new FDR to save us.

Does this mean we can stop changing our underwear every half hour?

Alaska had zero new cases yesterday. We are at 10 deaths total, two of which are dubious. One was an Alaska resident that was in WA when he caught it and died. Another was a 90 year old man riddled with cancer that was going to die no matter what. The other eight all had underlying issues.

Number one:

Be able to test for it, and don’t quarantine people who aren’t sick.

This is the first pandemic in history where they quarantined everyone.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

From NJ.gov Covid dashboard data as of 5/14/2020: 85% of the covid deaths in my southern NJ County were nursing home related. 181 deaths of 214.

also from website- All deaths attributed to my town were Nursing home related. This information is not detailed or reported in any regional or local paper. Governor Murphy is enjoying media reports of high approval numbers.

Five LTC facilities in Moorestown: 303 cases and 46 deaths.

To the Barricades!

[I want the USA back]

No it ain’t! they haven’t finished toppling Trump yet!

[STYRO]

Time to decide if we are citizens or subjects. Citizens will demand their rights be respected, subjects will meekly go along with whatever they are told.

The “Virus” was FEAR

Masks = Muzzles

The Economic Warfare has been cloaked in a Suspicious novel “virus” that has yet to be adequately quantified.

but we and our children will be paying for decades for our stupidity in killing the economy.

Not OUR stupidity. Few if any here had anything to do with the stupidity of our "leaders"...

[SkyPilot]

We can say "it's over", but the thugs still have us under their nightsticks.

1. We need to lockdown for 2 weeks tops to 'Flatten the Curve.'

2. We need to keep this lockdown in place for 2 months, and you have to wear a slave mask, and we'll sic the police on you if you don't, and you can't buy garden seeds. And we have to have 'mail in voting' for the fall election. And bailouts of state pension funds.

3. We need to keep this lockdown in place indefinitely, and there will never be a return back to 'Normal' - not without a vaccine, and that could take years.

4. You will never be able to take your slave masks off, or work again, or travel freely until you accept ID2020.

BTTT.

The bad news: the left has discovered how easy it is to tyrannize the populace by simply declaring a state of emergency. If they ever regain full dominance, all their wet dreams of power will come true.

[Mr. Jeeves]

This crisis has taught me that large segments of my government are no longer afraid to admit that they hate me and want me dead, so they can loot my assets.

In the future, I will take better precautions.
