No......

[redhead]

Not hardly.

If a second lock-down is done & you further kill the economy, then you have effectively killed a certain part of the country. Without that lock-down, you may lose some people, but at least you still have a country. If there is a war, which we have all seen enough of, we still had a country when it was over, tho admittedly with often a great loss of life. Another lockdown is not an answer, especially with certain Democrat-run states. I think some of those folks are about ready to start a revolution by now.

I will never know because my work (courier) has not stopped. I’m glad to be working.

Niel Ferguson actually has a HISTORY of sky high death estimates.

His projections led to millions of British livestock killed due to hoof and mouth disease projections. And it turned out inspectors were spreading it through unsterilized shoes.

He predicted up to fifty thousand dead from mad cow disease.

He predicted up to 200 million dead from bird flu. Note that’s worse than the Wuhan virus and they still didn’t lock everything down.

“Ultimately, the people will decide when this shutdown ends, and when a plurality so concludes, the elites will be swept aside.”

The “wisdom of the crowd” will eventually prevail.

Trump allowed the first lock down get out of control to the Governors. The next lock down will have to come before the current set of Governors can be elected out.

That is not going to happen, the Elites had their 1 HUGE chance at Socializing America and their MODELS FAILED THEM! Americans will not put up w/ Governors taking away their rights. Here in L.A., people are not pleased ,everyone should remember this fact. L.A. Citizens ARE NOT going to stay home through August! WTH is THAT about? Control man, CONTROL. Unfortunately, I believe this will city will be on National TV before August. I pray I'm wrong.

We cannot just hide from getting sick. Especially as this isn't exactly ebola here... Had we known what we know now we'd have never cowered in our homes in the first place. We cannot do it again just because fascist dems want to steal an election and cling to 'emergency powers' that never go away.

Great Post!
