Ted Nugent has suggested the novel coronavirus is referred to as COVID-19 because there have been 18 other coronaviruses.
The outspoken conservative rocker's factual error was part of his Facebook Live stream earlier today (Wednesday, April 7) in which he lamented the cancelation of musical shows in 2020 and 2021 because the pandemic forced restrictions on large public gatherings.
COVID-19 is short for Coronavirus Disease 2019, which is the year it was identified. The World Health Organization announced the name in February 2020.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "CO" stands for "corona," "VI" stands for "virus," and "D" stands for "disease." Before the WHO formalized a name for the disease, it was referred to as the "2019 novel coronavirus" or "2019-nCoV."
"This year's tour is canceled again," Nugent said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). "The production companies won't let us tour again this year. Dirty bastard, lying, scam, smoke-and-mirrors COVID-19 freaks.
"You know, I guess I would ask you, because I'm addicted to truth, logic and common sense, and my common sense meter would demand the answer to, why weren't we shut down for COVID-1 through -18?" he continued. "There was a COVID-1, and there was a COVID-2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16, -17, -18. COVID-1 through -18 didn't shut anything down, but woah, COVID-19 [did], even though it's 99.8 percent survivable. Why didn't we shut down for the AIDS epidemic or the flu or the Spanish Flu or the bird flu or the West Nile flu or influenza every year?"
Nugent also once again repeated a narrative pushed by conservative media and disputed by health experts that suggests the official death count from the coronavirus is inflated.
"They claim five hundred thousand people have died from COVID-19," he said. "Bullshit. I believe that medical examiners in all 50 states have gone, 'I put down on the death certificate that he died of asphyxiation, but they made me put COVID.' 'Well, this guy was stabbed to death, but they made me put down COVID.' 'This guy was run over by a tandem gravel truck doing a four-wheel drift and the crows be pecking at your flesh, but they made me put down COVID-19.'"
I love the WHO but come on dudes!!!
He is right, in a sense, even though he is wrong. Why didn’t we get shutdowns with H1N1 or other severe flu seasons? It is actually a fair question. But, he should still be a bit better informed.
Because this approach has been counter to CDC and WHO policies forever. But thanks to the Event 201 globalist conference in fall of 2019 Bill Gates convinced the global corporations and governments that it would be “necessary” to shut down the world’s economhy for a length of time to “stop the spread” of a pandemic (south American pig virus in their little October 2019 role play).
agreed.
I think the 19 is year not number.
The CDC didn’t count H1N1 deaths. They stoped counting in 2009 and then went to ESTIMATING in 2009 and 2010. After that they just called it “flu”. They settled on the middle number between high and low wildassedguess.
And they most certainly NEVER “counted” asymptomatic cases.
They didn’t shut down for Cat Scratch Fever.
Terminus. Terminus El Covado.
all these critical karens are what is killing us
>>”This year’s tour is canceled again,” Nugent said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “The production companies won’t let us tour again this year. Dirty bastard, lying, scam, smoke-and-mirrors COVID-19 freaks.
He should find a different way to tour then. Smaller venues. Higher ticket prices.
David Allen Coe, Asleep and the Wheel, and others have been touring for months now.
STAY OUT of the big cities and instead look up the venues on the edge of town NSEW. The big cities are only hosting cover bands if anything these days.
Submissive Karens
why doe cdc monitor gun deaths?
:)
Because they are an activist agency and not scientists
bingo!
My second concert I went to was in December 1975, Ted Nugent was the Warm up Band for Blue Oyster Cult at the Long Beach Arena, we had 4th row seats and I was 15
Because the libs are trying to frame them as a public health issue to get their gun control.
As for Nugent, so what if he isn’t putting out the info to the satisfaction of the Free Republic Fact Checkers, he isn’t wrong.
