COVID 2nd wave drives more European countries back into lockdown

London — More European countries have decided to reimpose nationwide lockdown measures to counter fast-rising coronavirus infection rates. Northern Ireland announced Wednesday that it would become the first among the United Kingdom's four nations to try a so-called circuit breaker lockdown. The tactic will see pubs and restaurants closed for all but takeout service, all schools closed and many other businesses greatly restricted for a short, defined period to try and break the cycle of spiraling infections.

Israel became the first country globally to reimpose a nationwide lockdown to stem COVID-19 infections when it ordered much of the economy and all schools to close on September 18. The government has now extended the restrictions to last a full month, until October 18. Other countries are quickly following suit.

“Stop it with this sh^&! Let it burn though the population and get it over with.”

You don’t understand. The people have been indoctrinated to believe the government is all powerful, and should never, ever, let anything bad happen to them.

But I thought that the WHO recently criticized lockdowns.

Because one economy killing lockdown wasn't enough.

We have to burn it ALL down if China is going to remake everything in their image.

I’ve been not wearing my mask everywhere and I’ve rarely been asked to put it on. I keep it in my pocket and then put it on if asked about it then take it off again when the hall monitor leaves. F em. I’ll NEVER get used to it. They can kiss my glass.

‘No way in hell “AMERICANS” will put up with that sh*& again!’

American females will certainly do so; in fact, they will demand it...

I really hope you are correct. I do believe that civil disobedience is in order if that should occur again.

Anybody with a brain knew the “second wave” was inevitable. It was so predictable. It’s disgusting and evil.

I am naturally suspicious of a great many things that come from the bullhorn of the media...and the Dems.

Thus, 3 months ago, I KNEW that within 30 days of the election, the media and the Dems would be pushing and harping about a second wave. And here we are.

I'm no expert on infectious diseases but I have eyes. And a fully functioning bull$h!t detector. So, on this 2nd wave crud...I call BS. The timing is very suspect. And ALL the usual news outlets as well as local stations are trumpeting the same talking points and using the same language.

I emailed my AL state rep the other day to tell him there should be no third extension of the mask mandate. Not exactly civil disobedience but it is sending a signal at least.

Since the Wuhan/CCP virus first reared its ugly head, I have been struck by how national leaders have reacted to it. Virtually all have elected to shut down their nations’ economies with the notable exception of Sweden.

I think the world leaders were told by their health officials that Wuhan/CCP virus is a very, very bad disease with the potential to wreak unbelievable havoc. To my knowledge, no leader has revealed what he or she was told. Now whether or not this is true, I confess, I do not know. The death rates don’t appear to be all that high—yet nations as politically different as Israel, France and the U.K. are reacting the same way to the new rounds of infections.

It’s important to realize that this is happening worldwide, not just here in the U.S. as a way to get rid of President Trump. (Although, if deliberately released by China, it might well be).

There was some disturbing news yesterday about people who recovered from Wuhan, getting it again with more severe symptoms. Maybe that’s an aspect of the virus, no apparent acquired immunity, that scared so many health officials. The virus is new, hence it’s name Novel Corona Virus, so nobody really what it is capable of. And no one apparently knows what letting it “burn through the population” would look like.

Please do not misunderstand my post. I’m not cowering at home in fear of this thing. Most who get it seem to recover. But people are still contracting the disease in my small town which is still pretty much open for business. Of course increased testing may account for the increase. And locals are dying, particularly older people who were quite possibly on the way out anyway, but who might still be alive but for this gift from China.

I thought Europe did everything right with its mitigation efforts? How is this even possible? / sarcasm

Probably the government run healthcare system hasn’t helped with its far more limited capacity and ability to take care of patients.

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots, regarding new COVID-19 cases in Europe, we're not being advised if these COVID-19 cases are possibly false positives or non-contagious cases of SARS-CoV-2.

Here are a couple of references for non-contagious cases of SARS-CoV-2

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Insights welcome.
