From the beginning of the Coronavirus mass panic, one the main talking points for western governments was that “No one is immune. The disease can kill anyone at any time.”
Various versions of this propaganda set piece were used and recycled across all media platforms, whereby government’s intention was actually to scare the public into accepting ‘lockdown’ or the shutdown of society and the economic, supposedly in order to “save lives.”
However, after a number of weeks that fear narrative is rapidly collapsing as real data and evidence comes flowing in – which shows that the overwhelming majority of public were never at any serious risk of dying from COVID-19.
In Europe, the UK and in the US, the overwhelming majority of COVID fatalities have been with elderly persons, and within that demographic nearly all have been from care homes.
This fact alone destroys western governments’ case for sweeping lockdown policies and school closures.
A new report citing Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam, confirms that among Canada’s coronavirus fatalities, 81 percent were in nursing homes – affecting the elderly with long-term chronic health conditions.
This rate is nearly double the rate of that in the US as a whole, but is comparable to data from some individual states including two ‘hot spots’ in the US, Washington state and New York State.
A Yale professor recently described the US nursing home death rate as ‘staggering’, showing how more than half of all deaths in 14 US states from elderly care facilities. Similarly, countries like Scotland saw half of all deaths from care homes.
The report describes one Toronto facility, 100 people including 40 staff members are currently battling the coronavirus, and another 57 residents are said to have already have died of it, said the Washington Post.
According to those familiar with the case, cramped buildings and employees doing part-time shifts and traveling between several care facilities in order to make a living were two chief factors thought to have contributed to heavy outbreaks in assisted living facilities.
It was apparent early on that care centers were extremely vulnerable. Instead of effectively addressing that problem, our governments quarantined the healthy — destroying their livelyhoods, and let the old folks die.
RE: It was apparent early on that care centers were extremely vulnerable.
Washington State ( one of the earliest states where the outbreak occurred) already gave us a warning. Other states did not learn from them. Florida did.
Yes.
Early on we all saw what happened in Washington State.
Our Democrat governors learned nothing from it. Instead, they locked down the healthy masses.
Not only did America and other nations (like Canada) not do a damn thing to protect older citizens, they did things to make it worse for them!
Intentional negligent homicide on an international scale!
My conclusion is that I don’t want to live in a nursing home when I am older.
YES! Sending known, active cases into Nursing Homes was MURDER, plain and simple. The officials in the states that ordered that should be tried, convicted and shot.
I cannot begin to imagine the grief of somebody who lost a loved one to such a horrific order.
Actually they learned a lot.....how to eff with everybody, and kill old people.
If your overall health condition is such that you'd be a candidate for entering a nursing home as a patient, you're also likely to get wiped out by any contagious disease if you're living anywhere else besides a nursing home.
Cuomo, Newsom and DeBlasoo are all personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of elderly in nursing homes when Covid 19 infected patients were placed with the elderly.
They did it to get Federal payment for treating the Virus patients but the patients had to be placed in the nursing homes. They should go to prison.
Did Trudeau also transfer COVID patients to nursing homes?
I’m sure they can get that number to 90% with a little work.
Our freak leading the PA Department of Health pulled his/her/it’s mom out of a nursing home while sending covid positive people back into our senior care centers.
And Governor Wolf rules via executive order.
That’s probably why Trump leads Biden by 5 in the latest polls.
I would be interested in learning what successful measures Florida took.
Always learn from success.
Another very good article about DeSantis’ actions:

The other 19% where on Ski-Doo’s.
It was never about the Virus.
They saw an opportunity for power and they took it.
Did Trudeau also transfer COVID patients to nursing homes????
In my county, over 40 people died in a nursing home from infected employees.
