Sorry NBC and the rest of you pigs who desperately want the economy crushed so that the marxists can sweep into power.

Go Eff yourselves.

There are still enough American’s left who aren't pussies that will carry on regardless of your pitiful mewings.

Oh yeah, and in case you missed it the first time, go Eff yourselves, media whores.

"15 days to slow the spread/flatten the curve..."

"Until Easter..."

"Until April 30th..."

"Until May 15th..."

"Until May 31st..."

"Until June 15th..."

"Until we have a vaccine, and universal testing/registration... And not a moment sooner, because the '2nd Wave' will be even WORSE than what has happened already!!!"

B.S., and more B.S.

An outdated meme. What about 8 weeks at home. Because that’s where we’re at, dearest pearlclutcher.

So the 1918 flu killed everyone and now there is no one in Europe or the United States. Everyone caught it and died./s

Would still be under quarantine today. “Sorry we can’t fight WWI——we’re still sheltering in place.”

Sweden has more deaths than their neighbors. And their case fatality rate is now over 12%, most likely indicating they aren’t testing any but the most severe cases.

If you sort by Deaths/1 million population on Worldometers, they hit the top 10 over the weekend. They are currently at #11.

They are now claiming they will have herd immunity by the end of May.

I hope they aren’t basing that on one of the Chinese antibody tests that have high false positives.

Since the Trump administration will not take the risk of just saying we are going to open NOW, they'll probably succeed.

Thanks NBC. We get it. Destroying the country is the only way to deal with this. Gotcha.

To paraphrase their hero FDR they live by the motto: we have everything to fear itself.

Well you’re in California. You got a head start. Tennessee didn’t start a state wide lock down until March 22.

“Man, they are really pulling out all the propaganda stops. They think we are idiots.”

It doesn’t matter. Our government at all levels is filled with people who are true believers. Edward Bernays was right, if you can convince the women you’ve won and who populates our local government offices?
