    The virus is real and more deadly than the typical seasonal flu. You can acknowledge this fact or avoid it. No, the death toll is not just from blue states. I'm sorry the facts threaten your politics, by they remain facts. Perhaps next year when Trump worship settles down and the whole story comes out you will re-think your position and prioritize truth over political propaganda and you will rethink your position. I can hope. Until then, I guess boo facts because they may threaten Trump.

    Pay attention to events. If you're a victim of Common Corpse and need someone to read to you, I wouldn't mind.

    You should read the thread. I'm not a denialist. I'm debating the denialists.

    Then you are likely in NewYork (or another Blue area), where there will eventually (hopefully) be considerable investigation into false records.

    I have paid attention to the facts and I reject your attempts to beg me to ignore the facts because they are politically inconvenient for you. Pay attention to events. If you are a victim of Trump Worship and need someone to read it to you, I wouldn't mind.

    I'm in Texas. Are you aiming for a homework fail in every post or will you eventually slow down to every other post?

    The Chinese virus has taught me to reject everything to do with Chinese manufacture but in the long run, I thank them. I now happily have paid just slightly more for batteries, bandannas to be used for masks, a bicycle, and a number of other online purchases. It takes some effort to ferret out the country of origin but it usually can be done. Interestingly enough, a product like a battery can be sourced made in America or the same as one made in China. Personally, I will look for and purchase products made anywhere but China.

    Ok, I see you are unwilling to consider any alternatives and your mind is set in stone.
    Are you aware that MANY more have died of the regular, every season flu and causes like diabetes already?
    You care nothing of all those people who are not getting medical care because of the fear mongering over covid-19?
    I'm sorry. There's really nothing more anyone can do.

    There are several VERY blue places in Texas. You have yet to prove me wrong.

    Your goal seems to be to continue the fear mongering.
    That is a political agenda.

    "Sweetie?" How many people use this account? NM, rhetorical, already figured that one out long ago, explains quite a lot.

    No, as a matter of clear fact and written record here on PF, others and myself have posted reams of NON PARTISAN scientists and scientific data on this topic. It has almost universally been ignored by posters such as yourself. You and yours OTOH, have near constantly posted LW and TDS and other talking points consisting of FAKE NEWS designed to create PANIC, SUFFERING, ORANGEMANBAD and will cause lots of DEATH... far far more than a bad cold that kills very old dying people.

    The bad/corrupt early models are well-known, and atrocious errors in them well-documented, the testing on contagiousness and accompanying studies well-known and well-documented, readiness with respect to medical equipment and bed space well known and documented, places in the world who did not lockdown well known and well-documented.

    What is NOT well-known and documented is ANY credible scientific data on the efficacy of lockdowns, shelter in place, social distancing and even ****ing MASKS.

    So you and the other 3-5 culprits on this do what you are reduced to now that you are on the wrong side of science, spamming fluffed up, fake NY and NJ death counts, over and over, that are utterly irrelevant to almost all of the rest of the country.

    Always willing to consider evidence . . . which you seem allergic to. I've looked at the fatality numbers. You have no leg to stand on. This is worse. Please come to terms with reality. Please. Your political propaganda is not worth risking lives. I'm sorry, but until you can consult reality and regard truth over your propaganda, there is really nothing more anyone can do.

    I'm sorry you fear the truth so much. I can't ignore the truth just because it offends you. Reality isn't a safe space. It doesn't care about the needs of snowflakes.

    NOT the aforementioned "science" I mentioned in my prior posts for our LW logic friends, so don't bother.

    But DAMNING. Probably be gone by youtube censors soon.

    So SURE, keep touting up those super high NY/NJ death counts to scare people with. Disgusting, degenerate.

    Meh, I take it you don't look at the CDC numbers do you. It is the only way you can say such uneducated things.

    Navy Hospital Ships, Once Thought Critical, See Few Patients
    By The Associated Press
    April 30, 2020 Updated: April 30, 2020
    https://www.theepochtimes.com/navy-...hought-critical-see-few-patients_3334219.html


    Why is it that so many people are so utterly mesmerized by the fake media that they actually get upset if you simply try to show them the truth?
    They even go out of their way to post fake things to "prove" their positions?
    Honestly, I just don't get it.

    There's a psychological explanation (I forgot what's it's called) that explains that people cling to certain ideals out of fear. An example was given of Mystical Martial Arts "Masters" who could knock people down without touching them. They have MANY followers. But anytime these great mystical masters face a real opponent and not one of their own followers, the results are predictable.


    I'm wondering if this mentality is what affects so many on the Left?
    I have a feeling many on the left are terrified souls who latch onto the fear mongering media for psychological "protection" from their own fears.
    The reason they so vehemently defend their positions of fear is that they are too afraid to accept any other possibility because that would make them "vulnerable", at least in their minds.

    It is REALLY difficult to reason with people like that.

    Of course, there are Communists, Socialists and people who thrive on victim mentality who will hate America the way it is regardless.

    ~ What this has proved to me is that our government "officials" are even more stupid than even I realized. The flip-flopping of our "experts" is a prime example. At best they are guessing but must attempt to sound convincing - instead of being honest and admitting the facts. The blatant disregard of common sense, human rights and the U.S. Constitution by some mayors and governors is quite troubling. Fortunately many citizens are speaking out and even ignoring this authoritarian overreach in order to live their lives. Sadly some embrace it.
    I see this as an attempt to test social engineering on the mass population. A big ridiculous psychological experiment. Global government cannot be far away.

    Don't forget to vote ...

    This is why 1) the size, corruption and rank incompetence of the central government must be massively pruned; 2) term limits should apply to all higher federal government positions, not only Congress. 20 or even better 15 years max. What we have is a near permanent graft machine and the country will suffer until it is undone.

    You can't say this.........

    So benefits - mass transportation could have saved about 370,000 American lives over the last ten years vs. the 23,000

    The 23,000 is a very inaccurate number over 10 years without adding the other pandemics and flus.

    Just imagine the number of people would need to be involved, the number of moving parts required to pull off a global hoax. And not a single conspirator has blown the whistle? Not a single mistaken information leak? And all of this to dash trumps reelection bid? I'm sorry but you are several degrees removed from reality.

    You are mistaken and you underestimate the power of very deep and connected pockets (and the evil men are capable of).
    You may also mistakenly believe the WHO is not strongly influenced by China.

    It is early in the game. Crimes committed at the FBI are JUST NOW coming to light (years later). Be patient.
    China stands to gain trillions from trumps departure. The democrats have very well known deep ties to China. so, there is a common goal.

    At this point it is a conspiracy theory. But so were the FBI scandals a while back.
    Conspiracy theories, until disproven, may be valid.

    PS...I had to laugh at one thing you said....."All this to dash Trumps reelection bif?"
    Now why on Earth would anyone believe the left would be out to prevent Trumps reelection?

    "***** grabber" hoax
    Ukrainian hotel prostitution hoax
    Russian Collusion hoax
    Taxes hoax
    Impeachment hoax
    COVID-19 blame hoax

    Yeah, that would be ridiculous wouldn't it?

    I guess it's soothing to live in a fantasy world where every inconvenient or alarming observation can be explained away, out of whole cloth, by scheming men, evil cabals, and deep state conspiracy. Good luck BHU2.
