Still some people still say what happened in Wuhan, China could never happen here.
I am still trying to figure out why President Trump takes the death count numbers seriously when it is admitted by States like New York and Ohio that they are saying people died from Covid-19 that were never even tested? Event the scarf lady Birx admitted this in a White House new conference and it is barely mentioned?
16 May: American Thinker: The Coronavirus Fifth Column
by Eileen F. Toplansky
As left-wing Democrat-controlled states continue to keep people in lockdown, it is becoming apparent that they are using the pandemic as a means to gain ultimate control of people’s lives...
At the Jacobin, an American socialist, Marxist quarterly based in New York, Ben Burgis emphasizes that
“Progressives and democratic socialists need to make the case that there’s a third alternative to business-as-usual centrists running the states Trump wants to ‘liberate’ and the cynical demagogues who want to feed low-income workers to the capitalist death machine by prematurely ending the lockouts.”...
The Washington Post reported the group Pacronym is planning to spend $5 million on ads attacking Trump’s response to the pandemic. Pacronym, whose board of directors includes former Barack Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, said its ads will target key 2020 swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Arizona.
Money is distributed to progressive causes by a number of Democratic PACs, e.g., Sixteen Thirty Fund. In fact, “in 2018, Politico reported that the Sixteen Thirty Fund ‘funneled millions of dollars to progressive causes’ by setting up a secret-money network of other groups, which were the ‘most prolific political advertisers of 2018’ when combined.”...
Freedom-loving Americans need to understand the existence of this fifth column and then assiduously fight the penetration of enemies to the state.

17 May: UK Sun: ‘IT’S A MESS’ Professor Pantsdown’s ‘Stay At Home’ lockdown advice based on badly written and unreliable computer code, experts say
by Thomas Burrows
THE coronavirus modelling credited with forcing the government to abandon its plans for “herd immunity” and put Britain into lockdown has been slammed as “totally unreliable” by a series of experts.
Leading figures claimed Professor Neil Ferguson’s computer coding was something “you wouldn’t stake your life on”...
David Richards, co-founder of tech firm WANdisco, told the Sunday Telegraph: “It’s a buggy mess that looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming.
“In our commercial reality, we would fire anyone for developing code like this and any business that relied on it to produce software for sale would likely go bust.”
Many have said is almost impossible to reproduce the same results from the same data, using the same code.
It is likely to reignite the debate as to whether the government should have taken into account a greater number of models before putting the UK in lockdown on March 23.
Michael Bonsall, Professor of Mathematical Biology at Oxford University, added: “We’d be up in arms if weather forecasting was based on a single set of results from a single model and missed taking that umbrella when it rained.”...
Former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption has claimed the government put the country in lockdown in “blind panic” following Professor Ferguson’s findings...
“The government terrified people into submission by giving the impression that Covid-19 was dangerous for everyone. It is not. It attacks people with serious vulnerabilities. The death rate for those under 50 is tiny.”...

I am still trying to figure out why President Trump takes the death count numbers seriously “
Trump is making damn sure he cannot be accused of minimizing the problem. I bet he knows the death count is inflated but the DNC/MSM is just waiting to pounce if he starts doubting the numbers publicly.
But it is admitted. It is not a theory.
I don’t know if our county has any such plans and I doubt they do or even considered it. But whoa to anyone who tries to enforce this type illegal move here. I have no sympathy to anyone who would follow such illegal orders to do so. I am a very law abiding individual. I would view such an attempt as armed kidnapping. The flag I fly in front of my home says do not tread on me. You are warned, DONT TRY IT.
I want you to meet my double barreled bulldog rosie. Try it pukes!
But it is admitted. It is not a theory.”
True but Trump doesn’t seem ready to expose it yet. As we have seen the truth is often a casualty in this. It would seem he is more willing for MSM to beat on him for the US having the highest number of deaths then be accused of minimizing it. It is constant frustration that in addition to a national pandemic we have the entire media complex trying to use that pandemic to destroy the President.
