Why the overreaction?




China hid so much shite from us that we overreacted out of fear and the imagery of doors being welded shut and people dying in the streets.

Once government got the taste of that power they are never going to let that go. Just look at JBE’s presser yesterday.

While they are now dealing with resurgent infections, you even said it was due in large part to the Italian infections.....wass it Italy who was anti-Trump?

Btw, I personally knew 4 gainful earning, lively people who died from covid. If there was no Covid, they would be here. And, no. It was 100% covid.

Because the rest of the world bows to China (other than the UK) and they’re all working together on it

And this is why you can’t rationally discuss the topic, and that’s ok

Covid is real. The draconian reactions are so out of proportion that it’s the reaction to it/media hysteria about it that people are calling a hoax

You are witnessing the greatest psyop and it's happening right before your eyes. We've taken thousands of years of science and have thrown it out with the baby

Notice the two countries who are now being hit the hardest?
India and Brazil? Both very close with Trump
China has unleashed the virus on them too

most of Europe freaked out over Italy. Not all of them but most. And then they relaxed their lockdowns once they got good data. Most are open now. Why hasn’t that happened here?


Because we’re still two weeks behind Italy

The reality is this virus has only killed .05% of our population with the average age of those deaths being 78

That’s the reality. And that reality points to any lockdowns at all being ludicrous.

No he means your anecdotal experience is significantly more tragic than vast majority of people’s

Of young people who aren’t taking up hospital beds just like us in Louisiana.

Northern Italy needed to shut down. You had a the worst case scenario there. Very old population. Lots of Chinese returning to their manufacturing jobs after the Chinese New Year. I’m talking tens of thousands. And a very social population.

I don’t care tbh. They were going to get exposed eventually. Chances are they were either really old or really fat and unhealthy. And the truth is being old and/or unhealthy means more things are likely to result in your death, including a new virus with no vaccine. Their lives would only have been saved if they completely quarantined themselves in their homes until 2021. No other measure would have worked no matter how much people want to blame others.

Looking back, all we successfully did was give this virus a dose of steroids. We should have done what has always been suggested for times like this, protect the elderly and sick, and let the healthy continue to live and help immunity

Instead, we did nothing to protect the elderly, letting the virus run through weak hosts, and we kept the healthy locked away keeping the virus from hosts that could defeat it


Well done humans, well done

Nah, they don’t move the needle. Like at all.

It’s not like you’re going to put in extra social distancing because some message board guy has a story about it. It, of course, is terrible that people have died but when you look at the aggregate numbers only to find out they were fake AF, then you reassess.

Look how packed grocery stores and restaurants and malls are for an indicator at how much people buy into that BS

Lulz. Yeah, China hates Donnie so much that they made up a virus that attacks and eliminates the oldest, unhealthiest members of society.
