9,210 deaths…
That is the sum total of how many Americans have died from COVID alone. Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of the infected. Only 6% of all coronavirus deaths were completely due to the coronavirus alone. The other 94% had 2 or 3 other serious illnesses, and the overwhelming majority were of very advanced age.
We now have empirical evidence that the WHO, Dr. Fauci, and Dr. Birx were all wrong. They lied. They very nearly destroyed the U.S. economy and we do not yet know how many people died because they could not obtain or were too frightened to get the care they needed. One of my cousins was in pain but put off going to the hospital because of COVID-19. She had an intestinal blockage and when it burst she nearly died. She lived and will recover in time, but think of how many others waited too long.
If you want to be furious with someone , try Fauci and Birx and the CDC and the WHO — charlatans and liars all. My late uncle worked for the CDC as a medical researcher. His observation was that the CDC had turned doctors into bureaucrats and thereby removed any value from them. Do you remember when New York admitted it had 66,000 new cases in people who had been in lock-down? Weren’t you suspicious then? Why the hell not?
Democrats want this pandemic to last until after the election, having nominated an old man with advancing dementia. Democratic mayors and governors love the power they have been able to acquire and have no intention of relinquishing it. They know lock-downs and keeping schools closed and promoting riots and arson are all they have left. America’s Frontline Doctors actually practice medicine and treat COVID-19 patients. I’ll take their practical words over Fauci any time. But their declarations did not match the Democratic memes so social media declared the video full of lies and false information and took it down. Big media likewise obediently declared it to be bad stuff and produced many articles claiming so. You can watch it here.
Now, it is your job to flood your local papers and TV stations and the blogs you visit with one of the two first links and demand they report the truth. You might also remind them there is a financial incentive to lie about the numbers because hospitals automatically get extra funds for each COVID patient.
Lock-downs killed…
The per-capita death rate for the coronavirus is 75% lower in states that did not panic into lock-down mode. That means that Speaker Pelosi’s insane claims about the GOP being responsible for murder are actually backwards. Yes, the states that didn’t panic were mostly smaller, more rural states, but the Democrats and their media handmaidens want you to believe that if you have COVID-19 you will die. At the same time, they are reluctant to point out the communities and cultures and age groups now reporting more cases. Guess what: the more testing you perform, the more cases you will discover. Gov. Andrew Cuomo continues to lie about how many deaths his orders caused, and the Dems all pathetically claim the lock-downs and other restrictions are to protect the citizenry! And keep in mind that research shows that thousands of travelers carried coronavirus from New York to the rest of the U.S. in early March, which is responsible for 65% of cases.
Democrats are desperate to keep the lock-down going and economies closed because they believe that no one will remember that Pres. Trump got the economy going to start with. The DNC is terrified that blacks and other minorities will recall that they enjoyed the lowest unemployment rates ever. The media is driven to misinform and outright lie to further that agenda, and thus they pressure Republican governors to do the same stupid stuff the Democrats are doing.
Most of them are resisting that pressure, some magnificently and gloriously. The Democrats have already put themselves on record demanding we taxpayers should bail them out financially. No thanks – their budgetary problems are caused by crony capitalism, corruption, incompetence and deliberate malfeasance. They have invited the riots and looting and assaults and chaos so let them deal with their own hideous creations and the consequences of the same. Tell your Congress critters, newspapers, and the President your views.
Wise cop…
A New Jersey gym opened up to its members Monday morning in violation of Gov. Murphy’s orders. FOX News had host Pete Hegseth there as well as a camera crew. A police officer did appear, informed the crowd of about 200 that they were in volition of the governor’s order, then wished them all a nice day and waked away to the group’s loud approval. Similar scenarios are being repeated daily across the country, but in some cases, power-mad governors and mayors insist law enforcement arrest violators. No one has mentioned that the police units who showed up to face off with the Michigan protesters were not beat cops, but riot squads and SWAT teams, in full armament and gear. The reason they did nothing is that the protesters were armed.
We now know that Vitamin D increases our defenses against coronavirus, so getting outside in the sun and exercising improves not only our immune systems, but also our mental health. Multiple studies show that the coronavirus is far less transmissible outdoors. Democrats and other lock-down proponents are shifting the goal posts from not overwhelming the health system, to flattening the curve of new infections, to testing everyone, to having no new cases, to having a certain cure, to having everyone vaccinated. Don’t kid yourself — progressives don’t give a damn about you or your family as individuals, only as votes or a part of a group useful as campaign props, then discarded. You would matter much more if you were an illegal alien, because they’d be fairly sure you’d stay on the government plantation, unlike the ungrateful blacks and others who have escaped. Always remember that the goal is to have government be afraid of you, not for you to be intimidated by the government. That could loosely be called Irish democracy, when the people run over the government, or civil disobedience, which is so much more high-toned and is reserved for Antifa thugs and other groups the Left approves of.
The owner of this group of restaurants is being prosecuted, unconstitutionally in my view, by former Congressman Keith Ellison. one could conclude that Ellison’s being a Muslim would make him inimical to establishments favoring alcohol, But he has been quite happy to cheer on the street violence of Antifa. Normal Americans are beginning to rebel against overbearing government, and it is right that they should do so. It’s also high time.
