It’s just the flu, bro.
No politician is doing anything now to alleviate Coronavirus lockdowns. I guess it is understandable that these politicians might be distracted/risk averse as they try to get themselves re-elected or get Trump re-elected. There had better be action on ending these lockdowns from the GOP next week.
-
An overdue cudos to Trump - there was no overbearing national pandemic response strategy and I thank Trump for recognizing state responsibilities are different than federal government responsibilities. You can bet Biden, if elected, would have a national strategy and you can bet we won’t like it.

No way the link above is linkable despite my efforts. Regardless, a Freeper posted this yesterday - maybe masks cause cancer. This is some fear porn that could make Fearpers’ heads explode.

My attempt at a linkable link was so bad the link vanished in the thread above.

all part of the plan
Less by a factor of 10 or more. Probably only about 20,000 or fewer deaths were because of covid-19. I suggest perhaps after the election we actually stopped doing data. If you don’t know by now that it’s a scam you’ll never know.
kind of early to tell if masks cause cancer
but very credible that they would cause bacterial infections
He is most articulate about corona virus truth
Mandatory masks expired in nearby town. I went to Safeway Food yesterday and noticed they no longer had the obligatory mask sign at the entrance. But, again, I was the only person in the store with no mask.
Folks are holding on to the hysteria like it is their last dollar. Sad when hysteria is valuable and to be cherished.
But it is useful fear porn, perhaps.
The fact that covid is basically the entire campaign of Biden and the left tells me that it definitely was intentional and consequently incredibly diabolical.
234,177 TOTAL DEAD x .06 CDC correction to NWO figures = 14,050.
WHO you trust, not the CDC?
You are a shill for the Globalist scum of the earth trying to destroy this nation for the New World Order.
Traitorous Scum side with Foreign despots instead of their fellow Americans.
Choose your side and quit being as Stalin said: “A useful idiot”

It will take a Red Dawn event to awaken some people, though. And maybe not even then.
92% of all Covid-19 deaths are among those 55 and older [https://lawliberty.org/covids-age-discrimination], with almost all of such having 2 or more Comorbidities [https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Comorbidities] [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7327471] and 95% being among those 50.
Close to half of all COVID-19 deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities, with up to 70% of deaths occurring in nursing homes [https://apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/investigations/spotlight/2020/09/last-words/part2-forgotten-elderly/index.html?p1=AMPArticle_Recirculation] Which means that the 99.4 percent of the country that does not reside in those facilities are far less likely to die of COVID-19,[26] even to the fatality rate of COVID-19 probably being 0.13 percent for people outside nursing homes. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/tell-me-what-to-do-please-even-experts-struggle-with-coronavirus-unknowns/2020/05/25/e11f9870-9d08-11ea-ad09-8da7ec214672_story.html]
Less than 10 percent of domestic COVID-19 *cases* have been among children under 18 (reported 9–11) [https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200910/Over-half-a-million-reported-child-COVID-19-cases-in-the-United-States.aspx] while the vast majority of all persons with severe COVID tend to have other risk factors.[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6915e3.htm?s_cid=mm6915e3_w]
Meanwhile, as for wearing masks, while warranted in some situations as such can reduce the amount of viral transmission [https://www.healthline.com/health-news/wearing-a-mask-may-reduce-how-sick-you-get-from-covid-19] yet according to a Centers for Disease Control report released in September found that of “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, “In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public.” Also, In this investigation of participants with and without COVID-19, “adults with confirmed COVID-19 (case-patients) were approximately twice as likely as were control-participants to have reported dining at a restaurant in the 14 days before becoming ill.“[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6936a5-H.pdf]
Some other concerns include,
The quality and volume of speech between people wearing masks is considerably compromised and they may unconsciously come closer
Wearing a mask makes the exhaled air go into the eyes. This generates an impulse to touch the eyes. If your hands are contaminated, you are infecting yourself Face masks make breathing more difficult.
Moreover, a fraction of carbon dioxide previously exhaled is inhaled at each respiratory cycle. Those phenomena increase breathing frequency and deepness, and they may worsen the burden of covid-19 if infected people wearing masks spread more contaminated air. This may also worsen the clinical condition of infected people if the enhanced breathing pushes the viral load down into their lungs .https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1435/rr-40]
Also, masks are shown to also reduce blood oxygen levels (pa02) significantly, relative to the (limited) effectiveness of the mask and length of time worn (the more effective the mask in blocking particles, the more it reduced blood oxygen levels.[11] Meanwhile, (less restrictive) homemade cotton masks actually produced particles of their own.[https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-09-surgical-n95-masks-block-particles.html]
the best response unless you live in isolation is to get in better health, not overweight and with exercise and sunlight.
Over 40% of Americans are obese, [https://anad.org/education-and-awareness/about-eating-disorders/eating-disorders-statistics/]and this condition is a primary factor relative to serious and fatal COVID-19 infections,[https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/health/coronavirus-obesity-higher-risk.html] While obesity and hypertension are the two leading comorbidities [https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/85855] both of which the shutdown fosters.
A study of 190,000 blood samples from patients of all ethnicities and ages infected with COVID in all 50 states showed that people deficient in vitamin D were 54% more likely to get COVID-19,[https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0239252][https://www.christianpost.com/news/people-deficient-in-vitamin-d-54-more-likely-to-get-covid-19-study.html] meaning vitamin D can reduce the risk of catching coronavirus by 54 percent. [https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-09-adequate-vitamin-d-complications-death.html] And another one study of 318 outbreaks involving 1,245 cases in China found just one transmission that occurred outdoors, infecting just two people. Most of those who were infected and died were occurred at home.[https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.04.20053058v1.full.pdf]
Preliminary research (Jun 05, 2020) showed superspreading events account for most transmission, and that just 20% of coronavirus cases resulted in 80% of transmissions. An estimated 70% of infected patients studied didn't pass the virus at all. [https://www.businessinsider.com.au/super-spreader-events-account-for-most-coronavirus-transmission-2020-6] And a new (Oct 29, 2020) Massachusetts report on clusters found that household transmission was at the center of the vast majority of recent COVID-19 cases. [https://www.wcvb.com/article/5-investigates-new-data-shows-households-at-center-of-most-covid-19-clusters/34524107#]
Moreover if you support quarantines for all who test positive, consider that testing data compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada showed that to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus using the PCR test, which is the most widely used diagnostic test for the coronavirus. And which which means they are not likely to be infectious and thus need not be quarantined (the greater the viral load, the more likely an infected person is to be contagious).[https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html]
Meanwhile, numerous new studies suggest that Covid-19 infection in recovered persons results in a lasting protective immune response [not likely full immunity, but quick recovery], even in people who developed only mild symptoms of Covid-19. [https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/16/health/coronavirus-immunity-antibodies.html]
As for effects of the all-ages long-term imposed restrictions, according to one meta-analysis of 42 studies involving 20 million people...the risk of death increases 63 percent when you lose your job...The high end number of estimated deaths comes from a 2011 textbook called “The American Economy: How It Works And How It Doesn’t,” by Wade L. Thomas and Robert B. Carson. Citing Bluestone, Harrison and Baker’s book, “The Causes and Consequences of Economic Dislocation,” they conclude that for every one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, there are 37,000 deaths — the largest single source coming from heart attacks, presumably from stress, but another 1,000 from suicides and another 650 from homicides. The rest are not categorized, likely due to a lack of underlying data. [https://therevolutionaryact.com/studies-the-shutdown-is-not-lives-vs-dollars-its-lives-vs-lives/] On Aug. 2 [https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/homicides-soar-36-50-biggest-u-s-cities/] it was reported that thirty-six of of the top 50 cities in America had a collective 24% jump in homicides this year compared to 2019, with a total of 3,612 murders in 2020 being reported so far.
And as concerns just suicide, we have reports such as “Calls to suicide and help hotline in Los Angeles increase 8,000% due to coronavirus,”[https://abc7.com/suicide-hotline-calls-coronavirus-covid19-los-angeles/6117099/] and “Doctors at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek say they have seen more deaths by suicide during this quarantine period than deaths from the COVID-19 virus,”[https://abc7news.com/suicide-covid-19-coronavirus-rates-during-pandemic-death-by/6201962/] In addition to which are greatly increased drug overdoses and deaths during COVID.[https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/2020-09/issue-brief-increases-in-opioid-related-overdose.pdf] [https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndwv/pr/overdose-calls-increase-24-and-higher-some-counties-during-covid] In addition to which is a significant rise in divorces. [https://legaltemplates.net/resources/personal-family/divorce-rates-covid-19/#divorces-increase-in-couples-with-children]
And while Vitamin D deficiency is common among the infected, and households and prolonged breathing in close quarters are primary means of transmission, yet the importance of losing weight, and exercise and being outdoors is not emphasized, nor is even frequent ventilation of indoors. And since it is overwhelming the aged with comorbidities that need to be protected, then rather than shutting down most of the economy that was done, and seeing about half of Covid-assigned deaths being from elder-care facilities - and sending infected souls into them - then the focus should have been in getting them out of such. Maybe placing many on cruise ships in the sunshine and single cabins, with social distancing, would have been cheaper than a extensive shutdown resulting in stimulus checks of money the gov, does not have.
