Democrat Mayor of Nashville caught hiding coronavirus case data to justify shutdowns
KUSI ^ | September 17, 2020

The bars and restaurants in Nashville, Tennessee have been open with limited capacity after being forced to closed down for two months from March to May amid the coronavirus pandemic.

San Diego County Health Officials, Dr. Wilma Wooten and Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, have been telling San Diego if we open bars and restaurants at full capacity, or for indoor dining, our cases will skyrocket. But, in Nashville, that is not the case.

In early August, Dr. Wooten went as far to say as San Diego County was seeing an increase and cases because people were “eating at tables with no masks.” Wooten also banned live music at bars to prevent people from standing up and singing, citing data that was never publicly shown as justification.

But a new report from Nashville has found a low number of coronavirus cases emerged from bars and restaurants.

Leaked emails between the Nashville Mayor’s office and the health department, obtained by WZTV, reveal officials lied about the COVID date to justify their shutdown regulations. Astonishingly, the emails even showed discussions between the two parties about how to keep this information hidden from the public.

WZTV reported, “On June 30th, contact tracing was given a small view of coronavirus clusters. Construction and nursing homes were found to be causing problems with more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22 cases.”

Shortly after this report was published, the Mayor of Nashville removed some restrictions on bars, allowing them to open at 50% capacity. Plus, he said Nashville Metro Schools can begin holding football games starting next week.

The complete WZTV report can be viewed by clicking here.

The story hasn’t gotten much attention from media across the country. But the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr.. shared the story on Twitter writing, “The Dem Mayor of Nashville KNOWINGLY LIED ABOUT COVID DATA to justify shutting down bars & restaurants, killing countless jobs & small business in the process. Everyone involved should face jail time. How many other Dem run cities is this happening in?”

The Rats KNOW they are at war against America, and while some here may still object about actions taken 75 years ago, the Rats are perfectly willing to Dresden small businesses and workers for the greater “good”.

How does one eat whilst wearing a mask at a table or anywhere else?

I don’t know what law was broken to justify jail, but the mayor should be purged at the ballot box and anyone assisting in this lie should lose their job.

We have had restaurants and tapas bars open in Spain (where I live) all summer. I live in a coastal resort town that doubles and triples in size during July and August. Once you are seated at a table masks aren’t necessary. So in a town of up to 100,000 people driving in from all parts of Spain we didn’t have one ChiCom flu death. My wife and I have been going out 3 to 4 times per week since they reopened the restaurants and I’m still alive to tell the tale. We haven’t been to the beach this year because of my wife’s illness but that’s because its too hard to get her out onto the sand, not because she’s afraid of the flu.

This Fox Story turned out to be 100% bullshit.

They had to retract it.

Reporter who ran lies (Ferrier) is facing disciplinary action for running with fake story.

That’s just it. No matter how I look at Democratic operative’s actions, I can’t see where killing jobs and businesses help them in the slightest. I’d be grateful if someone could clue me into their thinking on how this helps Democrats.

I had a friend whose mouth was wired shut after a car accident. I offered to put a slice of pizza in a blender, but for some reason he didn’t think it was funny.

“I’d be grateful if someone could clue me into their thinking on how this helps Democrats.”

One of the earliest “Doonesbury” stories dealt with Megaphone Mark Slackmeyer trying to radicalize construction workers. He wound up stuffed head first into a garbage can.

The point of the story was that things were too good in America to persuade Americans that the country should go commie. This echoed real world events.

The actual commies had a meeting where they decided at least two things. One was that they needed to embark upon a “long march through the institutions,” echoing Mao’s long march with the Red Army. The other was that if things were too good in America to recruit Americans to “the revolution,” then things needed to be made much, much worse.

They therefore adopted the motto, “worse is better,” meaning that anything that made life a little worse in America served their purpose, even if it hurt them too.

Everything—everything—that has harmed America over the last half century has been a deliberate attack by the left. This has accelerated since the last decent person was driven from the Demonrat Party under HillBillary.

More details of this history are available in the writings of David Horowitz, who was there to see it all.

I have two thoughts on this.

1) The rioters have been filled with hate, and that’s all they know and care about. Plus, free food and prizes and little or no consequences.

2) Their handlers know they’re going to lose on Nov. 3, and all they have is scorched earth tactics they’ve been employing since last election, and are looking to 2024, if not the total overthrow of America.

The Fraud promised them a citizen army...

That actually makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is that communism is good for anybody! Maybe the one guy at the top, but why would anybody help get that one person to the top?

Thanks.

There may be some of that. But I think post 13 has a better handle on the overall situation.

Look at the Soviet Union. Lots of people had special privileges. Even athletes had cars, refrigerators, and shopped at the special stores.

Another thing is their sense of heroic virtue. We snort at their virtue signalling, but they actually believe that crap.

“eating at tables with no masks”
Mask, or eat. Choose one.

dems enjoy the power they have given themselves over us. They don’t want to let go. The democrat-sponsored riots are another way of exerting their power over us, by destroying our property, forcing us to submit to the mob, and prosecuting us if we resist the mob.

The country is in the grips of a wave of fascism, thanks to democrats.

I can’t believe that the entire world doesn’t simply roll their collective eyes and laugh at the virtue signalers. But I suspect you are right or they would have stopped virtue signaling after hearing all the laughter.
