If what the author is saying is accurate, then why would our hospitals be overrun? People keep saying that will happen like it’s a foregone conclusion.

Do governments ever promote a story line which reduces their power or which makes them look less necessary? We should at least consider that media and the permanent government (bureaucracies) are deliberately creating a panic to make tyranny more acceptable downstream. In Virginia, where I live, it is indisputable that Ralph Northam is an aspiring tyrant, as well as a lying piece of feces.

I live in an industry town where the vast majority of people have solid-gold insurance. They go to the hospital for just about every ache and pain. You bet they'd overrun the place if they thought they had this virus.

This writer is an idiot. Perfect example of why people reject conservative thought.

Kind of ironic - we know that the Deep State and others use fear as a way to steer and control the people - we had the commie/nuke war threat until the Berlin Wall came down then it wasn’t viable anymore and up pops Globull Warming, which has many in fear that we’re gonna destroy the Earth even as we do less harm than past generations and none of the data actually supports anything but the earth’s climate and Mother Nature do not now, and never did have a “balance” and even if they did, we have no idea of how to maintain one or ‘fix’ things...all our efforts end up causing more harm....the coronavirus scare is no different - the panic-induced knee-jerking will cause more harm than the virus.
Folks who would be up in arms if the government decided to tell them they could not move freely are now begging that same government to lock them, and everyone else, down....I’d wager if, after doing that, the story ‘evolved” they would also go meekly to barb-wire surrounded camps/tent cities because the “latest info” said that’s the only way to stop it.
Even though we know that they use fear to guide and control us, so many can’t see it through the red haze of insane panic....they not only welcome the government controls, they beg for them...

And the fear mongers will try to leverage it...

Reminds me of a saying, by Ben Franklin, that many FReepers, who are now acting insane, used to showcase:

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
