It’s just the flu, bro.
Lefties have a whole slew of nonsense rebuttals when Flubros and Flubras mention increased rates of suicide and overdoses due to the lockdowns. See below where they claim it is Covid-induced psychosis causing this:

So it is actually Covid that causes the suicides according to the left. The other rebuttal is that suicide rates are up due to so many people losing their loved ones due to Coronavirus. Not many 19 year olds I know would kill themselves because their 92 year old great grandmother died of Coronavirus. I think the lockdown is clearly the more likely cause of these mental health deaths.

Many right leaning people, especially doctors commenting on the Coronavirus, are getting blocked by Twitter. If Twitter has the power to block for non-sense reasons then they are an editor and should be able to get sued for defamation, libel, etc based on the content they host. Many of their legal privileges are based on a sense that they are an impartial platform.
Yet, the news media still treat this virus as if it were the Andromeda Strain. Anyone see the agenda here?
Last night on Tucker Carlson he stated that the average age of death from Covid is 78 and the average age of death for all causes is 78.

A recent Johns Hopkins study claims more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors. Other reports claim the numbers to be as high as 440,000. Doctors KILL more AMERICANS than COVID.
Yes. Globalism.
‘Mask of the Beast’, Day 196. No more masks, no vaccines, no more mandates. The Founders would have been using a lot of rope by this point.
Fear porn is one thing, but it should be balanced by one’s actual experience.
How many of us know anyone with it?
How many died?
Most importantly, how many of us see people falling down in the streets dying from this?
It is not the big deal they’re squawking about.
Meanwhile, the stories of endless rioting does NOT scare anyone?
The best on Tucker was the medical experts excusing the riots.
While denigrating the anti-lockdown demonstrations.
So, in the end, they are counting most of the cases twice.
'Most people are afraid of COVID-19.
I'm more afraid of my friends and family who have no problem falling in line with a system of control.
Why?
Because one day they'll have no trouble turning on me for not doing so.'
I agree. Riots are a valid thing to be afraid of. COVID is pretty much a mild flu for most people. We know know which groups are especially vulnerable to it. Vulnerable people should do whatever they have to do to protect themselves, every body else should live their life.
IF most people are afraid of COVID-19 (and what % of our population is is still something of a question in my mind)
the responsibility lies squarely at the feet of Mike Pence who absolutely lost control of his task force’s messaging and allowed Dr. Fauci to go rogue.
If Pence had insisted that the public be kept informed of the REALISTIC risks we’d be in a much better place today.
Frankly if I were Trump I would have booted him off the ticket. This was an EPIC FAIL.
Influenza kills an average of 36,000 people each year. The most flu deaths in one year within the last 10 years was 61,000 (2017-2018). Over 100,000 deaths from flu is extremely rare, happening only twice in the last 100 years (1957-1958 and 1968). You can find one more if you go back to 1918 (102 years ago). Looking back before that, Russian flu in 1890 was considered bad, and that cost an estimated 13,000 lives in the US.

Sure was.
WOOT!
Went grocery shopping this morning.
Walked in without.
Was asked if I wanted one.
Said, “Nope.” and went shopping.
Then, it happened!
A “barely senior” woman in the baking aisle saw me coming.
Couldn’t take her eyes off me.
I knew what was next.
Shouldn’t you be wearing a mask?”, she asked.
“Shouldn’t you be on a crash weight-loss diet?”, said I.
And...moved on.
Michigan is open for business, patriots.
HEY! I resemble that remark.
LOVE your response to the obese bakery clerk...PERFECT! I thought obesity was a co-morbidity?
I have been wearing a body camera so that I could make YouTube stars out of any COVID Karens who chose to confront me.
Thusfar no takers. Perhaps the word is out.
Sorry...the nosy b*tch wasn’t a clerk, just another obese woman who couldn’t keep her nose out of someone else’s business.
