‘Flattening The Curve’ Has Become A Massive Bait And Switch

The curve was flattened:

Scroll down to the death graph.

Even New York only has 30 or so deaths per day. The virus is no longer even newsworthy. Only the response to it and its fallout is what is really making headlines now. And that could end quickly if the lockdown was merely stopped.

“And how did you manage to bring so many souls to hell at that time?
Because of fear.
Ah, yes. Excellent strategy; old and always current. But what were they afraid of? Fear of being tortured? Fear of war? Fear of hunger?
No.
Fear of getting sick.
But then, no one else got sick at that time?
No.
Yes, they were sick.
I'm sorry.
Nobody else was dying?
Yes, they died.
But there was no cure for the disease?
There was.
Then I don't understand.
Since no one else believed and taught about eternal life and eternal death, they thought they had only that life, and they clung to it with all their strength, even if it cost them their affection (they did not hug or greet each other, they had no human contact for days and days); their money (they lost their jobs, spent all their savings, and still thought themselves lucky to be prevented from earning their bread); their intelligence (one day the press said one thing and the next day it contradicted itself, and still they believed it all); their freedom (they did not leave their house, did not walk, did not visit their relatives. ...it was a big concentration camp for voluntary prisoners! They accepted everything, everything, as long as they could overcome their miserable lives one more day. They no longer had the slightest idea that He, and only He, is the one who gives life and ends it. It was like that, as easy as it had ever been.”

From the book "Letters of the Devil to His Nephew" by C.S. Lewis, the Christian author of “The Chronicles of Narnia”...The book published in 1942."

Excellent example. C.S. Lewis always nailed it. Thanks for posting that reminder. :)

Most people with even half a brain knew it was a bait-and-switch lie from the start, or at least from the first extension following that first two week “lockdown.”

Governors’ next move will be submission masks for everyone.

[Ann Archy]

ALL part of the COUP PLOT!!

[Socon-Econ]

Now we worry over “spikes” and “surges” in people testing positive, scared into believing that everyone testing positive will be headed to the hospital or infecting a frail aging parent living in the same house. We seldom hear the stories of positive tested whose symptoms are nonexistent or less than those of the common cold.

I stole it from “crusty old prospectors” cousin and shined the code a bit. Feel free to spread it far and wide.

[Ann Archy]

That cannot be for real??? In 1942??? It is EXACTLY TODAY!

[dfwgator]

We all knew they would do this.

I’m a firm believer in “There is nothing new under the sun.” We’re just seeing the repackaged digital version.

[Freee-dame]

1942! And so applicable to today. C S Lewis was a wise man.

Even around here we have a whole cabal of self appointed experts who believe that a virus made up of particulate ten times smaller in diameter than the particulate in cigarette smoke can be stopped by homemade idiot masks. They argue that the virus is carried by larger droplets of flem and saliva, but what happens to the viral particulate when the fluids dry out as you continue to breath through the masks. The particulate is expelled into the air where it now is free to float around for hours instead of falling to the ground where it can be killed by cleaners.

Overall, studies that show that the masks currently being worn by the public do more good than harm are all based on theory and models and not actual data.

The longer this goes on, the clearer it becomes that this was never about a bogeyman virus, but instead a cog in the advancement of a new world order.

And in the process screwed themselves out of doing it. AZ shut down in March with hardly any cases. 2 months later the people were burned out. So we reopened, then came the protests, now we’re actually right on the brink of crashing the healthcare system. Hopefully the numbers start to crawl down and we’re OK, but we’re currently running with less than 100 available ICU beds in the entire state, lots of hospitals have no beds available at all. Now we should probably actually be shut down. But the people won’t take it. So we’re just cruising along hoping for the best. At least the people paying enough attention to hope.

I predict that in September, 2020 the second wave will come back with such a vengeance, that in person voting will have to be replaced with mail-in ballot voting.

Wait and see.

And most of those deaths are not Covid-caused anyway.

Watch, the Pandemic will suddenly end after November 3rd. It will be like magic.
