There Isn’t a Coronavirus ‘Second Wave’

I am super disappointed with many on this site. It makes me sad that so many live in fear, and can be controlled by others because of fear. Incredibly instructive however.

The older and closer to death a man gets, he has two choices to make. Become ever more fearful of death (fearbro), or accept death's inevitability and lose your fear of death (flubro).

Fearbros have chosen option number one. They live in a constant state of fear. Being that the average age of FReepers is about 94, the terror here is in the carpet and the wallpaper here. And fear is contagious.

It is up to we who do not fear death to take the precious little lambs by the hand, give them their binkies, and tuck them into their cribs with a bed-time story, before they scare the other children.

So how come we don’t have a “like” button. Because I want to push the like button.

Sure there’s a second wave, it’s scheduled for this fall a month or two before the election.

[Mr. Jeeves]

If China sees a second wave, everyone is is likely to see one too.

Beijing never had a first wave - they locked people out of the city very quickly.

And, as an aside, this bullshit about quarantine only being for “sick” people is a construct made up in the last few months. Historically, a quarantine meant a complete shut down. A shut down of your home, your village, your ship...etc. if you were there, you got shut down. It wasn’t just for sick people. It was everyone.

BS? Really?

By definition, a quarintine can be imposed upon a person OR a place.

Can you name one place in our constitutional republic where a quarantine was imposed?

I can't.

(just a few examples)

In 1882, in response to a virulent outbreak of yellow fever in Brownsville, Texas, and in northern Mexico, a cordon sanitaire was established 180 miles north of the city, terminating at the Rio Grande to the west and the Gulf of Mexico to the east. People traveling north had to remain quarantined at the cordon for 10 days before they were certified disease-free and could proceed.[11]

In 1888, during a yellow fever epidemic, the city of Jacksonville, Florida, was surrounded by an armed cordon sanitaire by order of Governor Edward A. Perry.[19]
In 1899 an outbreak of the plague in Honolulu was managed by a cordon sanitaire around the Chinatown district. In an attempt to control the infection, a barbed wire perimeter was created and people’s belongings and homes were burned.[20]

20th century
During the San Francisco plague of 1900–1904 San Francisco’s Chinatown was subjected to a cordon sanitaire.[21]

In 1902, Louisiana imposed a cordon sanitaire to prevent Italian immigrants from disembarking at the port of New Orleans. The shipping company sued for damages, but the state’s right to impose a cordon was upheld in Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana Board of Health.

The 1918 flu pandemic spread so rapidly that, in general, there was no time to implement cordons sanitaires. However, to prevent an introduction of the infection, residents of Gunnison, Colorado isolated themselves from the surrounding area for two months at the end of 1918. All highways were barricaded near the county lines. Train conductors warned all passengers that if they stepped outside of the train in Gunnison, they would be arrested and quarantined for five days. As a result of this protective sequestration, no one died of influenza in Gunnison during the epidemic.[23]

During the 1918 flu pandemic, the then Governor of American Samoa, John Martin Poyer, imposed a reverse cordon sanitaire of the islands from all incoming ships, successfully achieving zero deaths within the territory.[24] In contrast, the neighboring New Zealand-controlled Western Samoa was among the hardest hit, with a 90% infection rate and over 20% of its adults dying from the disease.[25]

The stupidity of people can be mind boggling. Of course with more testing more cases will show up, but many will never have gotten very sick or not sick at all.

Yup. Contact tracing will find asymptomatic people, test them and find positives. These are the type of people who would not have showed up in the counts of previous weeks because we weren't doing contact tracing.

Contact tracing is being done a lot now. I know three asymptomatic people in Florida who have been flagged this week for COVID.

The increase in cases we are seeing this week is likely due to contact tracing, the targeted testing of migrant workers, factory workers or just Floridians going to a restaurant to enjoy a good meal.

Your family (sick individuals) in their house?

Not their neighborhood, town, county, state, country or the entire world, to include healthy individuals, right?

[Mears]

Yes,just the house...I misunderstood your post.

Pence means well, but he’s merely a placeholder. He is very recessive. His personality type is the direct opposite of Trump’s—their partnership couldn’t work any other way. Trump by himself is “polarizing” enough, according to the MSM that wants it to be so. Pence is a moderating influence. They don’t know what to say about him except to ignore him, and out of the sides of their mouths, denigrate him as Trump’s “lackey”.

Three extraordinarily well-crafted sentences that neatly encapsulates the entire farce of the last five months. Even at the beginning it was clear that, coming when this “pan/plandemic” did, as we were rounding third base, heading toward home, and all else had failed in bringing Trump down, that THIS handy tool for social disintegration would magically present itself. Then, on top of that, as the coup de grace, the George Floyd/MLK murder offered another excuse to further destroy the country while creating yet another rickety narrative that it’s Trump and NOT the DNC that’s flushed all the crazies out of the woodwork.The DNC, as it’s been pointed out, is now the political wing of BLM, which is now basically controlling the entire country with its reign of terror and extortion. George Soros doesn’t have to fund them now-—Pepsi, Nike and Apple do. We’re through the looking glass, people! as Jim Garrison said, way back when.

It doesn’t help that the media are deliberately sloppy in their use of language. They can be precise when they want to be but they prefer to deceive.

I’m glad that I am not the only cynic around here. :^)

Funny thing I’ve been thinking about, the democrats running for the presidency like to call out big pharma but they dare not say anything about Dr. Fauci or Dr. Brix.

Where is the democrats suspicion about big pharma and the big corporations? Why don’t they look into the background of these two? We need to look into corruption in the vaccine industry as well as other medicines.

Hi, about the second wave, President Trump sent ventilators to New York, Cuomo had to give them away. President Trump sent a huge navy hospital ship which had to be sent back to Virginia. A field hospital had to be closed down because they could not fill the beds. Another field hospital provided by Samaritans Purse, a private charity had to also close down. A field hospital where I live here in Massachusetts had to be closed down because they couldn’t fill the beds.

Liars can play word games but empty field hospitalsand empty navy hospital ships do not lie.

[cradle of freedom]

I agree.
