It’s just the flu, bro.
Coronavirus deaths are dropping nationally. It’s all about applying the pressure to politicians now. They often don’t change policies instantly - pressure on them now to end the lockdowns will pay off down the road.

Great to see recreational basketball and baseball ramping up where I live in the suburbs of Houston. Swimming, football and water polo are still not competing. Are youth sports competing where you are or are they still too shut down?

I know it is not a principled stand that I am taking by doing this but wearing a mask and just keeping it below the nose is tolerable. I breathe through my nose anyway and I have only had one person tell me my mask was on wrong so far (I 100% ignored what that person said). This technique is good enough to get me into church, kids’ sports, and the very rare shopping that I do.
Transcript of internal debate at the CDC:
Fauci: Hey, guess what? We did it! We finally forced them all to wear masks!
Redfield: You’re kidding?
Birx: No f**king way!
Adams: Even POTUS?
Fauci: Yes, even POTUS, he finally caved!
Birx: Cool! So Tony, what do we do now?
Fauci: First I think I’ll show up at a baseball game NOT wearing one, just so I can lord it over everybody how we are the ones who are really superior to them.
Redfield: That would be AWESOME! But once you’ve done that what are we ever going to do to top this?
Fauci: That’s easy....goggles! Face shields!
Adams: ooooooh....I like the way you think Tony!
Fauci: Twelve hours after I’m done giving my interview to
CNN the lawn and garden shelves at Home Depot are
gonna look like the toilet paper section at Target
in April.
Birx: If we can make them wear masks AND shields, why, we
can make them wear ANYTHING!
Fauci: Yes, indeed. Ankle bracelets, cowboy hats,
those silk disco shirts that went out of style in 1979, handcuffs lined with fur...
Adams: Ballgags? Please please PLEASE can we do ballgags?
Fauci: No, Jerome, no one would ever see them under the
masks.
Redfield: I know....let’s make them wear their underwear
on the OUTSIDE! I saw that one in a movie once.
It was hilarious!
Birx: I don’t know. Wearing my bra on the outside? The
Playtex Pretty Petite #304 clashes with most of my
scarves.
Fauci: All in favor.....
Apparently the Brits are showing a Red Card to their COVID KOZAK Body Counters.

why do you spread fear propaganda? given the number of asymptomatic cases even the CDC admits the fatality rate is around 0.2%.
You can do whatever makes you feel safe. I'll do what makes me feel safe regardless of your directive, Karen.
“””Trust God and wear the mask. God looks after your everlasting safety.”””
Masks may help to protect businesses, including hospitals and doctor’s offices from malpractice and negligence lawsuits.
How many deaths have masks prevented during CV-19?
What does 3M, the gold standard for medical masks, say about masks vs respirators AND their proper use? Is a loose fitting scarf enough?
Where did you and Kozak get the numbers you both spew? Who owns that/those sources? Have you bothered to look?
14 day incubation? Got some “science” fo’ dat? Why not 21 days? 13?
I am not wearing the mask.
I am however wearing a body camera which will make internet stars out of Chads and Karens who have a problem with me not wearing the mask.
That is a GREAT idea! I’d like to do the same...any recs on the camera, etc...? PM me if you can. TIA.
even if you think the 164K is overblown by 100%, that means 82K dead - more than the 76K from flu (the max dead in any year - in 2018)
It’s a deadly but manageable disease that we need to manage
Where did you get the 2 to 3 days from?
Researchers in South Korea found that roughly 30 percent of those infected never develop symptoms yet probably spread the virus. Of all the coronavirus’s qualities, perhaps the most surprising has been that seemingly healthy people can spread it to others.
“164K death out of 5000K cases. That’s a death rate of 3.24%...”
Except that also is not reality. Doesn’t come close to reality. If you catch the virus, you don’t have anything like a 3% chance of dying. But it makes America & Trump look bad....at least, if you don’t compare what countries like the UK went through, or the NY/NJ metropolitan area.
I was remembering back to when this pandemic, i.e., “Trump Coup Part IV”, began.
At first, the masks were to protect the wearer. That’s all they were about. Then the people who love freedom figured it out and went with, “my body, my choice”, and had the audacity to object to the masks.
So TPTB realized they were losing control over the peons and decided to appeal to people’s inherent altruism and changed the narrative to “you protect others” by wearing the mask. “It’s not about you, it’s about others.” They figured nobody with argue with that.
Just more lies by Fauci, Birx, et al.
:: ROUGHLY 30 percent of those infected never develop symptoms yet PROBABLY spread the virus ::
Pretty definitive that.
You know...being from SOUTH KOREA and all.
Jeez, Cronos.
You’re a real stickler for science-based conclusions, aren’t you?
As to proof -- look at Vietnam, Thailand etc.
If you look at virus shedding studies the asymptomatic she’d very little virus. This is not a fearper thread
“Researchers in South Korea found....Of all the coronavirus’s qualities, perhaps the most surprising has been that seemingly healthy people can spread it to others.”
Not really. Evidence is VERY weak for asymptomatic spread.
What that study found was that people without symptoms carry just as much virus in their nose, throat and lungs as those with symptoms, and for almost as long. NOTICE: CARRY just as much virus.
But the virus doesn’t have wings. It cannot fly very far unless it is expelled with some force. Coughing. Sneezing. Screaming in a protest.
But breathing thru one’s nose? No wings there....
That study is GARBAGE for asymptomatic spread.
Maga dittoes.
the usual we are seeing is 2-3. average is 5 meaning a significant number are less than 5. 14 days is an outlier. And why would we quarantine at all let alone 14 days? seriously
Kozak: 165,617TOTAL DEAD
Sky's That’s a .01 percent death rate.
Equal to the NORMAL SEASONAL FLU rate
Me: 164K death out of 5000K cases. That’s a death rate of 3.24% — seasonal flu is about 0.1%. So Covid is about 30 times more lethal.
The US is doing adequate testing - and that's why you see that out of the 5 million, most have no symptoms.
3.24% case death rate isn't fear - it means you gotta be careful. It's not the black plague but it isn't "just the flu bro"
