Bars and restaurants account for only 1.4 percent of new cases.. Gyms, hair salons, and barber shops .. less than 1 percent of new cases..

Therefore, democrat governors and mayors are closing them first.. Following science, they say (lie).. 7.8 percent via hospitals.. ~ said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo..

“The Times Wants You Consumed by Fear, Isolation, and Misery”

That’s the Biden administration’s goal isn’t it?

And let's not forget what they, and the left, also want: the destruction of capitalism, especially small independent businesses. Giant corporate govt/capitalism (Amazon, Microsoft, etc.) that's OK.

The only people taking their advice are Liberals and idiots.... And no, they are not mutually exclusive.... Plenty of non Liberal idiots too, who love to follow orders.....if you question them, their battle cry is “hey, I don’t know, I’m just doing what they tell me”.

I’ve long heard the saying that 99% of life is just showing up. COVID has taught me that, for a lot of people, 99% of life is just doing whatever they’re told, no questions asked.

The only reason cases are down is because of the undeniable wisdom of Saint Anthony Fauci. Saint Fauci has saved more people than anyone else in human history.

Remember you can only be saved by Saint Fauci and the Face Mask!

Cases supposedly way down....

It’s obvious that the great hero Biden has wrestled the pandemic to its defeat. Finally Fauci and Biden can cure it.

Economy will be wide open. Shutdowns over. Socialist Paradise on the way.

I’d better stop while the length of my nose allows me to still type here.

No, what they want for us is “Most of us dead, the rest in chains”.

In their minds, “Fear, Isolation and Misery” are too good for us.

I’m 68. I have survived: my 8th summer, measles, german measles, scarlet fever.
My 21st summer, pneumonia and the oxygen tent.
My 25th winter, the military airbase outbreak of swine flu.
My 35th spring, I was diagnosed with ozteoarthritis.
My 42nd spring, I was told I had a hiatel hernia.
My 57th spring, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
My 58th fall, I had the necessary surgery, and since, the pratfalls of a stoma.
My 67th spring, I had the necessary shoulder ports installed, prior to becoming married to a dialysis machine.

So re the title, I cannot afford the time to ponder such insanities!!

There’s been plenty of this fear-mongering nonsense right here on FR since last February.

It's easier to keep the public cowed and receptive to easy solutions, like scapegoating entire populations and shifting blame to the innocent to give unlimited power to the REAL "deploables," those who never give a second thought to liquidating entire populations to give themselves unlimited power over those who remain.

Yes, it is.

NYC implodes and we're supposed to feel bad about it?

Cuomo's rats are jumping ship and we're supposed to feel bad about it?

Coastal restaurateurs vote overwhelmingly donkey and we're supposed to feel bad about it?

Schadenfreude.

Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude. Schadenfreude. Burn in hell.

"We do not need to destroy society, lock people in their homes, tear down businesses, close schools, traumatize kids, drive people to alcoholism and drug abuse, divide society between the clean ruling class and the dirty working class, ban travel, close churches, abolish choirs, close the arts, and whip up the population into a frenzied psychological meltdown in order to deal with a new strain of a respiratory virus."

Keep in mind much of the "clean ruling class" does not have access to a Geffen-class global yacht, and cannot escape to Hawaii or even Canada without a 2-week quarantine. Which is why the Newsom recall in Kali has legs.
