Regarding the Wuhan virus, if you think you’re being lied to, you’re right
American Thinker ^ | July 17, 2020 | Andrea Widberg

Ever since the Wuhan virus appeared on the scene, Americans have been bombarded with information, misinformation, re-information, and disinformation. In the beginning, this information soup was understandable, given that the virus was new. For that reason, many communities agreed to be shut down for a couple of weeks “to flatten the curve.”

Since those murky beginnings, though, we’ve learned a lot about the virus, including how to treat it and how to protect the elderly, making it significantly less lethal. Still, politicians – usually Democrats -- are using the virus as an excuse to achieve non-virus goals. For example, they’re pushing for more government handouts and dependency, a weakened economy favorable to Biden, mail-in voting, and limited religious worship. And even as they lock people in their homes and shut down businesses, they encourage mass protests and riots that also achieve pro-Democrat party political goals.

Currently, the primary way Democrats are manipulating people is by pointing to an increase in the number of virus cases and deaths. None, they say, are due to the protests and riots. All, they insist, are due to opening locked-down states too soon. Even worse than that, they claim, is the petri-dish horror of Republican states that refused to lockdown in the first place.

What’s starting to leak out, though, is that this new data about rising cases and deaths is being manipulated, whether intentionally or accidentally. This is especially true for data coming from Florida and Texas, two states that seemed to be handling the virus successfully without destroying their economies.

Florida and Texas are key targets for the Marxists. If they turn them they will never ever lose another national election.

I am of the opinion that those playing games with this should face criminal charges and be prosecuted (in terms of blatant and/or purposeful misinformation).
The lying is literally costing people's lives and livelihoods.

It's deliberate. It provides ammo to the woke Lefties on forum boards everywhere to shut down any real debate about the CHINA VIRUS (I will always call it that)...

It doesn’t hurt to wash hands more often, keep distance from people and isolate more than normal. All of that helps keep from catching colds, the regular flu and other transmittable diseases too. I have no idea if masks or all the lockdowns help slow transmission or not. I tuned out the ever-changing pronouncements of Fauci and his ilk back in March. Waste of time to listen to them.

"how to treat it and how to protect the elderly,........Since when do those of us over some nebulous age referred to by everyone under 40 as elderly, need them to "protect" us?

Especially when that so-called "protection" includes mandating that we "shelter in place," only leave home to obtain "essential food, medicine," etc. and wear "scientific, expert approved masks" at all times, whether we can breathe wearing them or not.

To all of that, I say "NO DICE!"

If I want your (whomever you are) help, I'll ask for it.

Other than that, count me as part of the "leave me alone folks!"

I am sure BagPipes Barr is all over this, just waiting for Lindsey Graham to finish his hearings to address the Coup. Oh and Durham and Huber have to finish first maybe by end of summer, maybe not until after the election, but if Trump wins again, well, we will vigorously pursue hearings.

I've been crunching the numbers put out. We either have a panic-worthy plague with a 15% fatality rate, a real bug worthy of caution with a fatality rate 1/4 of the worst known flu or something in between. So much wildly varying data proves there's either vast incompetency happening or someone is grinding this for an evil agenda.

There have been far too many false positives boosting the COVID-19 reports from samples submitted by healthy medical people coming back as "infected". Yet the media has been ignoring all that. I sincerely believe it's all about defeating Trump at the expense of facts, honor, livelihoods, struggling businesses and America's best interests.

Reading the posts posted while I was writing mine made it clear we ARE an echo chamber. And that's a great thing. True Americans have been under attack on many fronts for months now and need to know they are still the vast majority across our nation and still in the right. Three fifths armed and the rest have friends with loaners, supplies and space. LOL!

Deep dark evil. Propaganda better than any regime in all of history. Demonic manifestation on earth, occupying millions of US people.

Why do I know no one, no relative or anyone who has even caught the virus? I’ve been told by a few people that they know of someone, a distant relative or friend who died from it. I’m beginning to become sceptical.

I’m with you. And I live in SC, one of the ‘hot spots.’ No one I know has had the virus. Friends I’ve spoken with about this know of no one either. Skepticism is running wild.

I’m in a supposed hot spot. Knew a guy - old, heart conditions - who died of it a few months ago. Know a couple in their 60s - one caught it sometime in the past and has healed without the other catching anything.

That is all from this hot spot in Arizona.
