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.

The case mortality rate is less than half of what it was a few months ago. The daily death toll (based on comparison of seven day moving averages) is about one fourth of what it was a few months ago.

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.

Here is an example of how the case numbers are manipulated by the Tilt-o-World site. Yesterday, my county reported 29 confirmed new cases and 69 probable ones. 98 cases is what Tilt-o-World reported by adding the two together. But if you read the fine print at the bottom of the county website, it says this. "Total count of antigen tests being considered probable until a lab-confirmed positive PCR test is received. Future dashboard updates of probable cases will include retroactive COVID-positive antigen reports."

So, in the end, they are counting most of the cases twice.

Words borrowed from a meme by William the Conqueror999:

'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.'
