How Stupid Are You? (Those Who Don’t Read the BNJ)
You believe that the COVID is more deadly than poverty, more deadly than cancer, more deadly than the common ubiquitous flu, your either stupid or afraid of your own shadow. And we certainly don’t want you in uniform defending democracy in the heat of battle. If the experts are correct about the COVID being a contrived opportunity to accomplish what could never be accomplished by other mean, and you are afraid to touch anything that isn’t part of your body, than you are either listening to the wrong experts, are a snow flake, or dumber than a box of rocks.
If you do an internet search you will find a long list of articles that insist that the COVID deaths are NOT exaggerated. You might never or at least you may have to search through fifty pages to find the opposing viewpoint. Whenever you see one viewpoint showing up on Google one after another and you can’t find the opposing viewpoint, just assume that the opposing viewpoint is true. If you form your options based on Google search, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn that I want to sell you.
Everyone who dies for the time being who might have the COVID is being consider a death from the virus. It’s not FOX News or the BNJ that reported this first, it was non other than Dr. Brix. It was the scarf queen who said “Anyone in U.S. who dies with Covid 19, regardless of what else may be wrong, is now being recorded as a Covid 19 death.” Whoops!
On the other hand people who have had the COVID and recovered without medical intervention are not being counted. So the real total infection is orders of magnitude higher than you are bing told, and the death rate is very much lower, perhaps lower than the common flu. That’s a good thing. It should be obvious for obvious reasons but considering who the target audience is for this piece, it had to be mentioned. The more people get sick the faster herd immunity will protect us. Also the ration of infections to death is much lower and that’s also a good thing. What this means is that if the reported numbers are believed the COVID is much scarer. Oh that’s a good idea, rule by fear. It’s historic and works well when reason fails. Scare them into submission. And then put them in jail to emphasize how serious and necessary these ridiculous restrictions are.
If the object is to destroy the economy which means putting people out of work, destroying small businesses, or vote Trump out of office, there is no better way then to create a morbid fear of death from the COVID.
Death or lockdown? Seems reasonable to lockdown rather than die. Who is going to go out in the street when enemy bombers are dropping bombs in the streets? No rational person would. But if you told everyone to stay in the cellar because at any time enemy bombers might fly over and drop deadly bombs, how many people would be okay with that? Only stupid, scared people.
So you say the COVID and a sneak attack are apples and oranges? Anyone who compares these two things is stupid and doesn’t understand the distinction. No, actually you are stupid if you make that argument, because it is a distinction without a difference. The fact is that when you go outside you have no idea if the person next to you has the virus, but you are treating everyone as if they do, and admit it you are afraid of them. You might even try holding your breath as they pass within the magic six feet of you. You’re scared and you don’t know diddly.
The bombing analogy works this way, It would be like running for shelter every time you hear an airplane, but later discover that the plane was there to save you. It’s just stupid, period, and if you are afraid of everyone you see, you are just as stupid. Basically if you are not suffering from something that can kill you if stressed by one more factor, if you don’t have some comorbidity, you’re not going to die from the COVID, but if you are out of work long enough and don’t have food to eat you are going to die of starvation. Take your choice. In which case the doctor should list the cause of death. “Stupidity”
Sorry, not reading any trash that begins its premise by insulting me.
I don’t watch mainstream media. There’s a correlation between watching them, believing them, and a range of stupidity that results in retardation and brain damage.
Friday worthy ping.
Two grammatical errors and a wrongly-used word in your first paragraph - you need to be replaced as "editor".
Sums it all up right there.
Paging Humblegunner....
All I know is, I want a haircut!
Why you pimpin’ that blog?
‘scuse, but I’ve been waiting years for the opportunity to ask YOU that.

Drunk, probably.
Texas just said salons can open May 8th! So excited.
The author wasn't insulting you, he was insulting people who believe that COVID is more deadly than poverty, cancer or the common ubiquitous flu.
Pretty stupid. I haven’t openly rebelled yet.
The jackass did so with his first sentence, with no qualifier.
Sorry, not reading any trash that begins its premise by insulting me.

I see. That’s why you stay off the Flubros threads, isn’t it?
I know I feel stupider each time I visit one of those threads. It’s like a Q thread and an antivaxxer thread all in one place.
And why not? No one but Qtards and antivaxxers post there.
Self restraint, mostly.
There are so MANY targets on both sides that I'd be tempted to
get jazzed up and start spraying rounds about indiscriminately
and that wouldn't help anybody and would likely jack up the whole flow
of the thread along with pissing off everyone. I see that enough of
that action happens naturally there without any help from me.
This is community outreach I'm doing.
Because I'm a nice guy.
I believe that I have the right to decide the level of risk and my response. I have several of the health factors that are indicative of a fatal infection. Therefore, I manage my life accordingly. And yes, for me, the Covid-19 virus is very likely more deadly than the common flu.
Then how'd you know it insulted you.
