‘Flattening The Curve’ Has Become A Massive Bait And Switch

And this, from Rudyard Kipling, over a century ago:

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

We have Karens on FR telling us to wear masks. They can stuff it.

Watch, the Pandemic will suddenly end after November 3rd. It will be like magic.

You get it. EVERYTHING is political.

[Kaslin]

I very seldom agree with you, but this time I do.

[central_va]

but we’re currently running with less than 100 available ICU beds in the entire state, lots of hospitals have no beds available at all. Now we should probably actually be shut down.

My guess that is lie. Try to verify that. Sounds like BS. You must assume that every "fact" the media gives you is wrong, lie or both.

[central_va]

Report? It probably a lie.

"1942! And so applicable to today. C S Lewis was a wise man."

Definitely a first round draft pick for the impending book burnings.

[mrsmith]

Doesn’t sound accurate.
May be true of Lewis’s intent.

[SanchoP]

LMAO! I plead the Dan Rather defense.

[mrsmith]

Well, that’s no defense at all is it?

[SanchoP]

Of course it is. Ask Ben Franklin.

Watch, the Pandemic will suddenly end after November 3rd. It will be like magic.

And BLM and Antifa will magically disappear as well.

[windsorknot]

The plan for Democrats is to flatten the economy.

[Hot Tabasco]

Watch, the Pandemic will suddenly end after November 3rd.

Exactly! As an example, for 8 straight years under Bush, John McCain was daily news and they always referred to him as "The Maverick John McCain".

The day he lost the 2008 election, you never heard the term again.........

How flat will Max Scherzer’s curve be once MLB starts its mini season (if it does)? :-). (Sorry, couldn’t resist)
