Simple arithmetic seems to be lost on the politicians, and that error is perpetuating a needless and counterproductive policy destroying our country. Politicians like Mitt Romney dont seem to understand that the fact that there are so many infections actually makes the fatality rate of the virus remarkably low a fact that should guide our policies going forward.
The politicians keep referring to widespread outbreaks in prisons, meatpacking plants, and other semi- or fully confined areas with predominantly young populations. Then they refer to a relatively small number of fatalities anecdotally, as if this is the bubonic plague or Ebola. In fact, those case studies demonstrate just how low the fatality rate is for younger people.
During Wednesdays coronavirus hearing held remotely by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Mitt Romney began his line of questioning asserting that the president believes that without the actions he had taken to close down the economy, wed have had 2 million dead. Romney was trying to insinuate that the death rate is really as high as the experts claimed and that following the expert advice saved us from it, even though the lockdowns occurred after the transmission peak. He then wrongly stated that deaths outside the New York area are going up, even though nearly all the deaths are in nursing homes and many of them are earlier deaths only being reported now.
Next, Romney posed the following question to Stanford professor John Ioannidis

Mittens is not a kid anymore and,thus,is fast approaching the day when he’s standing next to his good buddy,Juan McLame,in the deepest depths of hell.
My theory on the apparent sicknesses at these meat packing plants is that it is union inspired and conspired to hurt the meat packing industry and disrupt the supply chain than hurts some factions and helps others. The unions are working hand in hand with communists. Always have been.
Has Pierre caught the Biden disease?
Romney is just a Trump-hating snake. You would hope that someone in the position of Senator would have spent much of the last few months actually studying the numbers about the coronavirus at least to the point where they would understand rates of infection etc.
There is as much hair growing into his head as out of it.
Can we believe that we once supported this man for President of the United States?
That was BT.Before Trump. The world has changed and we have been liberated from the old “you’ve got to vote for a Republican” mentality to preserve our liberties. Hah. What a joke.
The LIGHT has yet not awakened many, still slumbering in their deep coma-like delusiosn. Pray that it will.
when you all finally realize that RomneyCARE has
been partners with Soros before they began JETblue,
then ALL his actions, retreats, failures, make sense.
Come see Mitt for a great deal!
Freakin used car shyster turned politician.
Really this guy is not very intelligent. He is truly successful only because he a creation of the corrupt system we live in.
Do Later Day Saints go to hell?
Fool me once.
Pierre Dilecto has a tendency to exaggerate his own accomplishments. What an integrity-free loser of the first order.
“My theory on the apparent sicknesses at these meat packing plants is that it is union inspired and conspired to hurt the meat packing industry and disrupt the supply chain than hurts some factions and helps others. The unions are working hand in hand with communists. Always have been.”
I’ve heard that voiced before. There may very well be something to it. It does sound plausible.
C!ueless pretty much sums it up for Mitt.
