If you hadn’t ever been told about Covid

during the early part of this year, would you even know it existed?

Would you even suspect something out of the ordinary?

Or have people in your circle been dropping dead like flies over the last 9 months?

I’m genuinely curious.

There would not of been a Covid 19 pandemic if dems where in the whitehouse. The media would of been complicit and would of not caused a panic and chalked it up to a stronger than normal flu season. Any alternative media that brought up Covid would of been called a conspiracy theorist.

I’ve know no one that went to the hospital. So no.

Few family members and co-workers got sick.
Turned out to be Rona.

In any other year it woulda just been "oh yeah, Jon is sick with a cold, stay away from him".

Nah, there was too much happening internationally.

If the dems had never politicized it and forced restrictions, would have had zero impact. Like Katrina, the devastating impact has been 100% man made.

All I would know is that my great aunt caught a mysterious disease which killed her. Then my ex-girlfriend's mother would have caught the same mystery disease and it killed her too. After a while we would probably start asking questions.

Nope. Would have thought my wife and in-laws had a normal flu just uncommonly out of flu season. Would have thought my daughters’ symptoms were allergies. Would have thought my 2 mother’s friends (mid 80s) died of old age (guess they really did).

Three family members on my wife's side and my brother caught it. If we didn't know about covid everyone would've assumed it was the flu.

Like how Donald Trump cured the centuries-old scourge of influenza?

Notice the stats on flu diagnosis and flu deaths. They hit 0% and near 0% once Covid hit the headlines. This is all about control. And quickly morphed into a winning Dem strategy by killing the economy (Trumps biggest "trump card") and blaming Trump for a global pandemic. Dems get all the media air-cover they need allowing them to change positions by the hour without fear of being questioned.

None of us would've thought anything of it and I would be hard to convince otherwise

Do you mean if you'd fallen into a coma in December and woke up now, would anything feel different?

Yeah. First thought would be, what's up with the masks? Where did all this fricking plexiglass come from? Why the hell is my 13 year old only going to school every other day and my college freshman living in the dorm to take all online classes?

I haven't lost a single person in my circle of family or friends, and only had one relative even catch it, and he's fine now and he has a heart condition.

No. I know one person who was hospitalized early on.

And two acquaintances have passed from it, friends of friends or friends of friends of friends. If you had told me they died of pneumonia, it wouldn’t have moved the needle.

Work wise, it’s been wild with staffing and quarantining. But not because people are sick sick. Just positive.

I “quarantined” with my college-aged daughter testing positive. She had a fever for 24 hours. 2 of her 3 roommates also tested positive. Same general symptom pattern. My wife, second daughter and I never had symptoms.

As opposed to 2020, where you say

"oh yeah, Jon is sick with a cold, stay away from they/them".

Yes because where I work (consulting) is a nursing home that had 20 people die. Some died there; some died in the hospital after being sent out for issues that couldn't be managed in house.

If I didn't work there, probably not.

I don't understand how there is no news journalist with enough integrity to talk about this.
