It is leftists who are stoking COVID-19 panic and leaving everyone depressed

The Washington Post is blaming the Wuhan virus for every problem associated with this pandemic, But they should really be blaming the politicians for their draconian policies for creating problems, policies which they support.

Here's a headline:

The coronavirus pandemic is pushing America into a mental health crisis

It is power-hungry politicians, along with their supportive fans in the media, who have escalated a major mental health crisis in the country. It's not the virus itself. They have used the virus as an excuse to control who can work and what we can do every day. They are intentionally sending us into a deep financial and mental depression. The media contributes by repeating talking points and telling people who refuse to obey their masters or protest that they want people to die. Why wouldn’t people be depressed?

Here's another:

Historic financial decline hits doctors, dentists and hospitals — threatening overall economy Stay-at-home orders didn’t just prevent people from dining in restaurants — they led people to avoid medical services, too.

Why is it that when the government shuts things down that only the private sector suffers? Why do government employees get exempted from the pain that the government caused? I want unemployed government employees. Lots of them. Most are totally useless.

Crushing the private sector has ALWAYS been the goal of the command-and-control mindset. Cash flow diverted from going to the management and direct manipulation of the ruling elite is considered to be an assault on their divine right to rule, and any opportunity to reach out and strangle such initiative is considered to be only “fair” in the eyes of the command-and-control people. After all, it is theirs to begin with, and theirs to dispense in any manner they choose.

Control freak little dictators smelled an opportunity, and grabbed all the power they could, and forced people to shelter in place for weeks. Result: projected 1/3 unemployment.

Did you get that?

One. Third. Unemployment.

Yup and sadly Donald Trump is now being controlled. I am really stunned that he has not told them to bite his butt and done something about this. But, he is cowed down by the medical lies. I cannot believe he and his administration have not seen through this and IF they have, why they have not struck back and told the nation this is crap, no worse than a regular flu season illness. Around the world, thousands die every year of the flu. Usually the older folks with other conditions. They are now saying that IF you die of pneumonia, you are said to have died of this virus!!! The larger the numbers, the MORE CONTROL OVER PEOPLE running scared of dying of this so called virus. HOW MUCH LONGER are Americans going to take this? Many have raised their voices. How much longer before the people start getting off their butts and fighting back? Or do we just cow down???

This is all driven by the U.S. news media. This video shows that almost all the deaths they say are due to this corona virus are not due to corona virus but other flus, pneumonia, cancer, old age etc :

This is a hoax just to defeat Trump in the election. They are destroying the economy for just another regular flu. They want to defeat Trump and install socialism/communism.

The other flu virus deaths, overall deaths are going down because they attributing those cancer etc. deaths as being due to corona virus but they are not.

If they don’t open up the economy soon the economy will collapse (which is the media’s goal economic collapse).

That is what the whole thing is about. Destroying President Trump and destroying the economy so that they can refashion it the way they want it.

In his infinite mercy Governor Abbot of Texas is granting his slaves the privilege of getting their hair cut. What a kind Massa.

The politicians have done this. In their mad haste to seize power, they have ruined our lives. They got their wish: they shut down Trump’s economy, prevented Trump from having rallies, cancelled presidential debates, and set themselves up for an orgy of Trump-blaming.

Quite simple, close the economy and watch your constituents suffer. Then blame Trump.

I’m glad you and others here see the truth that it is no pandemic but at most a flu.

Plenty of alleged “conservatives” are supporting the destruction of the Constitution as well. You see them regularly right here on FR.

Of course the Post wants as much panic as possible. The longer the lockdown goes...the better it is for the Washington Post’s owner’s Amazon deliveries/company.

Exactly! When the government is shut down the MSM screams! But with the private sector closed, not a single story about the hardships it is bringing!
