Why blame Progs and Democrats when you can go back to the early day posts right here on the formerly Free Republic. Look for all the fear porn, rate of spread charts, fatality rates, and etc. Look at the abuse heaped on those of us who said no to lockdowns.
A huge group of Freepers most of which who were safely at home drawing monthly checks from the government decided that we needed to have lockdowns and distancing and masks. They told us trust the experts and doctors and scientists. They posted as many charts as they could find.
They argued the rest of should not be allowed to freely accept the risk of going about our business.
They enabled tyranny. Now many of those same people are crying foul.
Anyone wishing to argue we can go back and repost the replies many of so called Flubros received.
“They argued the rest of should not be allowed to freely accept the risk of going about our business.“
Username checks out
(Seriously, great comment!)
Two big things came out of it
1- incredible numbers of people realize that they can just stay at home all the time and still collect a check and they don’t wanna go back
Even when things get back to normal and this thing subsides that’s not going to change and the day of the office worker is over
Zoom is now a part of everybody’s life all the time
Now mind you I’m a person that considers any experience as an electronic one to be completely pathetic !!
and not even in the same stratosphere as personal interactions with other human beings!!
Specially considered live music for example.
Now look this virus thing is a hoax - there’s 1 million viruses out there they’ll be 1 million more who cares ? ( ok like 4-500).
Again the point I’m making here is many people are using coronavirus for now as an excuse !!!!
to totally change their habits in their life —- and get out of all kinds of responsibilities for work. And family. Obligations.
and they’re not gonna ever try to give that up
So the best you can do in my opinion is just ignore all this crap.
Don’t wear a mask don’t even think about getting the vaccine
and what else is there!??
Social distancing ? come on you’re not gonna get in somebody’s personal space
don’t be worried about bugs and find yourselves things to combat them
use colloidal silver. My go to
The pressure is building very heavily on the stupid teachers unions now
these stupid teachers absolutely have to go back to work
Well you know what like the great Ronald Reagan did with the air traffic controller’s
they should be fired!!!
Do you know what? A lot of employees should be fired!! if they won’t do things with their own two hands in real person !!! And see real people and have real meetings where you see the person in front of you and all their facial expressions and there’s no games that you can play ( Well of course I am eating those words if you’re a pretty woman you can play all kinds of games).
If you just want to hide behind a computer all day; My advice is to use your - You better be pretty damn smarts!!
Because you’re going to be competing with Chinese and Indians and all kinds of other kids there don’t have a choice , but to work online
Real interactions with other real human beings is what life is made out of !!!
Facebook and the online thing means nothing in this world. NOTHING
( OK means a lot but you get my point)
Notice it is people who get paid for not working scream the loudest for lockdowns? My business is down 90% and all my employees let go never to return. But hey, soon I can work in a solar panel factory.
You are right, it is TYRANNY!!
The London Imperial model predicted 2.2 million dead Americans and 500,000 dead Brits if we didn’t lock down. You can say it was an incorrect computer model, but they have a HISTORY of bad disease models.
2005
Bird flu pandemic ‘could kill 150m’
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/sep/30/birdflu.jamessturcke
Last month Neil Ferguson, a professor of mathematical biology at Imperial College London, told Guardian Unlimited that up to 200 million people could be killed.
Real death toll? Maybe 200,000. 1000x mistake
2002
‘Mad Cow’ Sheep in Britain Could Increase the Human Death Toll
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mad-cow-sheep-in-britain/
Neil M. Ferguson and his colleagues at Imperial College, London, considered three possible scenarios. In the best case, BSE does not spread within or between flocks and therefore has a negligable impact on the vCJD epidemic. But at worst, BSE spreads wildly both within and between flocks and raises the vCJD toll from a maximum of 50,000 to 100,000 deaths due to infected cattle alone to a combined total of as many as 150,000 deaths.
Real death toll? 50-ish. 1000x mistake.
This means that liberals in power CHOOSE to use a disease modeler with a HISTORY of being WILDLY wrong.
