Two weeks – trust us.
American Thinker.com ^ | May 22, 2021 | Jeremy Egerer

Afternoon there, neighbor! There's a new disease in town, and I wanted you to know about it. It gives the chills and sweats and headaches and fevers and diarrhea and a cough and it can kill you. Not a cold or a flu, but a new thing. It can kill most of us, it turns out. Very dangerous.

We're going to have to lock you down, in fact. For your well-being. Two weeks is all we ask to flatten this curve. What's a curve? Funny you ask. It's when too many people get put into the hospital. We just want to slow the numbers. Whittle them down a bit. Lock you out of work and church and play for two weeks. Totally worth it, we promise.

What do you mean, you don't have any symptoms? It causes all symptoms and no symptoms, and the people with no symptoms are the most dangerous people. In fact, wear this mask. Put it on your kids. Pull them out of school and hide them from the other kids. We know that the flu kills way more kids every year and kids need to develop an immune system, but put it on anyway. It's about solidarity, and you don't want to kill old people, do you?

I can’t believe the number of people I’m seeing around Upstate NY who refuse to take off their muzzles.

Even in he red bits.

Deep State has done its work well.

And we clearly don’t make Upstaters like we used to do.

Same here in Texas. “Conservatives” are obviously not fighters.

“And we clearly don’t make Upstaters like we used to do.”

Probably a failure/non-existence of an in-state travel document that would have kept out the NYC escapees who have clearly hybridized your hardy stock. /s /tongue firmly planted in cheek

Bad habits — even nasty, dirty, unhealthy habits like breathing through a rag — take time to break. It takes courage and a return to sanity ... both of which it’s clear are difficult for many still irrationally frightened and still irretrieveably ignorant people.

I wonder if we did nothing and everyone went on about our business if we would be further along. It was going to unfortunately kill people anyways, I think the lockdown dragged it out. I ended up catching it anyways.

You mean the two weeks to flatten the curve thing really was two weeks, and not over a year?

“It can kill most of us, it turns out. Very dangerous.”

Oh, I thought he was writing about COVID-19. It turns out, it doesn’t “kill most of us.” Why would someone write something so demonstrably untrue?

I am convinced fewer people would have died if we had done absolutely nothing.

That was the voice of the liars talking to the sheep, not a belief of the writer.

There are many sheep and few lions.

That’s the saddest part of all of this.

The American spirit of defiance against tyranny has been watered down to a whimper.

It was a lie from the beginning. Concocted and implemented by democrats with financial help from soros and strategic planning from obammy.
