The steps we have taken make sense if this is an apocalyptic type event. While it is really bad, it seems to be falling well short of that.

Even places like Italy’s numbers are settling down when most models were predicting runaway growth in cases and deaths.

It is still too early to know for sure, but it is at least possible we have been played.

My money has been on that since the beginning.

Any information that downplayed it, was deemed subterfuge.

Any fantasy at all was seen as absolute gospel, as long as it
was wildly negative in nature.

Some 15 second video was deemed absolute proof. It was not
deemed possible we could be being played.

“It is still too early to know for sure, but it is at least possible we have been played.”

Umm, if Dems were involved in this article (or in anything else for that matter) you know you are being played.

Italy’s numbers are doing that because everyone is sheltering in place. The models are telling us what will happen if we don’t act so we can avoid that outcome.

Assuming it isn’t a hoax, the drop in cases in Italy and other places can be attributed to quarantine.

But Denninger over at the Market Ticker thinks Quarantines won’t stop the virus anyway. It’ll just come back once the quarantine relaxes, and that the only solution is mass vaccination—a technical impossibility—or herd immunity, the latter requiring us to let the virus go through us while protecting the elderly and the very young, but otherwise returning to our normal daily life so as to avoid an even worse problem: economic collapse.

Though Denninger also has come to the conclusion lately that the virus isn’t nearly as dangerous as claimed and that more testing will show we’re already near the end of it.
