Remember when the Internet and TV commercials and public service announcements were all filled with healthcare workers holding up signs that said “We’re Here For You, Stay Home for Us”?
Do you remember all that emotional blackmail?
It was all over the place.
The message was basically this: Dear Ungrateful Commoner: We’re out here risking our lives on the front lines, and we selfless and brave healthcare heroes need you to remain on lockdown and lose your jobs and your businesses and give up everything that makes life living, for us… Cuz we’re brave and awesome, so we need you to destroy the economy that might get the Orange Bad Man reelected, even though, if you’re under 50, the coronavirus is no more lethal than the flu
Remember all that sanctimonious, anti-science garbage?

posted awhile back:
just watched a commercial tonight put out by “Coronavirus.gov” who used a D.J Khaled as their spokesperson who said essentially
“Stay at home, spend time with your family, that’s the key. If you go outside you are being selfish, and are putting everybody at risk. If you care about your life, Stay Home”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTqP5vbU3lY
Seriously? So if we open up our front door to go out- we’re ‘being selfish’ and we are putting ‘everyone at risk’ and ‘we will die’?
Hey Khaled- people are committing suicide because they’ve lost their jobs, lost their homes because they can’;tr par rent or pay the bills- they can’t feed their families properly- 99% pf the population is going to survive this virus just fine- your commercial makes it seem that if so much as open a window to the outdoor world, we’ll catch the virus and die- The flu kills 10’s of 1000’s every year- shall we all hide inside every time the flu season rolls around twice a year? Those for you who are rich might be able to weather long downtime without a job- but the vast majority of Americans can’t- and shouldn’t have to since the virus will take less than 2% of the population- so stop scaremongering and shaming people for going outside and living their lives-
Man, that Breitbart site is a frikkin’ mess. It’s one of the very worst layouts on the web. A scramble of ads you have to sift through to even read a simple, short article like this.
I like the content but I’ve always disliked going to that site.
Yeah but the worst is the Daily News UK. Just open that for fun.
The truth of the matter is more than 1 dimensional. Here is what happens in flu season. Joey hears his brothers girlfriends mom has the flu. Joy.. goes to the ed when he statrs to get sick and exposes several people along the way, including your grandma and you as you wait in the waiting room. Joey is 32.. his flu symptoms are typical but not requiring emergent treatment. Nonetheless he just wants to be tested in the ed. Not at his doctor’s office. .
Now you and your grandma develop symptoms because Joey just had to know if had the flu. One of the emergency department workers gets exposed and develops mild symtoms. Multply this times millions and you can see the exponential impact All 3 of you infect others and your grandma and the cancer patient the ed worker was treating while in the infective but mild or no symptoms phase... well it becomes life threatening. issue.
After seeint the real local data of over 40 thousand tests i can extract a clear message. Of our 40 thousand.. the positives were all ordered because they have symptoms. Zero of our asymptomatics have been positive.
With the higher false pos rate pprobability due to single tafget positives, i would have expected them. Its just not in the data.
Covid is clearly unique. Its like being pregnant.. you know you have it. Running a test is just a painful waste of time if you have mild symptoms.
Stay home if you are sick with Covid or flu with mild manageble symptoms. You are infecti g nursing and medical staff who may spend time covering a nutsing home.
I did watch one person walk through this disease. A 30 somerhing veagan. It was not the mild symptoms. It was bad. She definitely did not need a test to tell her she had Coxid. She did self isolate and none of us.. the critical care team were exposed.
Leftists karens and chads of the world lie all the time, folks. They only think emotionally and do whatever is required to keep themselves from feeling bad, even if that means everyone else suffers. Not surprisingky, the karens and chads of the world vote.for democrats.
They are your enemy, folks. They would demand government murder you if it made them feel better. This is why we have unfettered murdering of babies and the demand everyone die or stop having children because of the lie of climate change.

Since Trump announced ending the lockdown, Nasdaq just closed at new all time high today. S and P has recovered most of the loss and now is 7% away from new all time high, while Dow has recovered also and is 8% away from high. Despite dems and media allies wanting to lock down the economy to blow up the market, they lost in trying to create a covid panic and are on to the next new shiny object in their identity politics wheelhouse, George Floyd.I don’t think even Trump expected a market V shape recovery this strong and fast.

Event 201’s Tom Inglesby has something to say:
3 Jun: Kobi5/NBC: CNN: Experts warn protests could lead to spike in COVID-19 cases
Colorado is now providing masks for protesters and new research published by The Lancet confirms they work. Exposed to this virus unmasked, the chance of infection is 17.4%. With a mask, it tumbles to just 3.1%.
Dr. Tom Inglesby is the director of Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. He explained, “There’s no doubt at all that this is something that we should all be doing.”...
On the West Coast, California is setting new highs this week. South Carolina, an early re-opener, is now deep red.
Dr. Iglesby said, “When a state’s numbers are going up in new cases we need to watch it really carefully.”...

worth reading all the following, but this paper which was co-authored by TOM INGLESBY, stands out!
15 May: Amercan Institute for Economic Research (AIER): The 2006 Origins of the Lockdown Idea
by Jeffrey A. Tucker
How did a temporary plan to preserve hospital capacity turn into two-to-three months of near-universal house arrest that ended up causing worker furloughs at 256 hospitals, a stoppage of international travel, a 40% job loss among people earning less than $40K per year, devastation of every economic sector, mass confusion and demoralization, a complete ignoring of all fundamental rights and liberties, not to mention the mass confiscation of private property with forced closures of millions of businesses?.
Whatever the answer, it’s got to be a bizarre tale...
AIER’s Phil Magness got to work to find the literature responding to the 2006 paper by Robert and Sarah Glass and discovered the following manifesto: Disease Mitigation Measures in the Control of Pandemic Influenza. The authors included D.A. Henderson, along with three professors from Johns Hopkins: infectious disease specialist ***THOMAS V. INGLESBY, epidemiologist Jennifer B. Nuzzo, and physician Tara O’Toole.
Their paper is a remarkably readable refutation of the entire lock-down model.
(excerpts) There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza. … It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration…
Home quarantine also raises ethical questions...
Travel restrictions, such as closing airports and screening travelers at borders, have historically been ineffective...
It is reasonable to assume that the economic costs of shutting down air or train travel would be very high, and the societal costs involved in interrupting all air or train travel would be extreme. …
During seasonal influenza epidemics, public events with an expected large attendance have sometimes been cancelled or postponed, the rationale being to decrease the number of contacts with those who might be contagious. There are, however, no certain indications that these actions have had any definitive effect on the severity or duration of an epidemic...
Finally, the remarkable conclusion:
Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted...
