I still can’t believe we are shutting down the world over a strain of the FLU that has a much lower mortality rate than the Standard, everyday FLU??

I think for all those that thought deep state/globalists were at the end of their ropes, that that was a typical, critical mistake to believe that.

I still can't believe anyone is still making statements like this.

The "Top Doc", Dr. Falaci, who President Trump seems to trust, said that the coronavirus results in 10X more fatalities than the flu.

And of course, we can look at countries that weren't run by President Trump, and therefore didn't take it seriously and lock down travel from China beginning in January, but instead went with the attitude of "it's just the flu, Bro".

Italy, being the poster child. for the nonchalant "it's just the flu, Bro" handling of the outbreak give us a good window into what it might look like if we fail:

Coronavirus patients line the corridors in footage from inside Italian hospital, as military trucks transport scores of victims' coffins to be cremated.


Italian army trucks are parked next to a monument in Bergamo yesterday as they prepared to take coffins out of the city.

This doesn't happen every year in Italy, every flu season. This is different. It's faster moving, and it's more deadly. Just because you haven't had your loved ones loaded onto military trucks to be mass cremated because of the virus, like these poor unfortunates in Italy, doesn't mean *it can't happen here*.

There is no such thing as "Magic Dirt".
