Either way, there's not a lot more I can do. I can read it for you, but I can't understand it for you.

You're on your own on this one buddy.
Nice post.

Facts are unpopular. However CNN is starting to sound a different tone. 14 percent of 3,000 New Yorkers tested positive for virus antibodies. Meaning they survived! They are also adjusting timelines. Saying the virus has been here for months. Before social distancing and before shutdowns in place. This is even more evidence the virus isn’t doomsday and shutdowns are happening on purpose to collapse economies and frighten people into becoming obedient to the government.

This whole thing was for show. Now we are talking about how bad it will be in winter. What a joke...

Any many still believe this is all the cause of a bat.

I saw that. Eventually, facts have to be faced. Sadly, so much media damage has been done.

I don't think humans are smart enough for that yet, but I do feel we need to make sure there is no huge shift in power due to this. Best to stay focused and watch, but I still don't think we are smart enough to send out a virus to gain control. Especially one that we could just let it rip if we really wanted to. It would be ugly for a couple of months and die down fast.

I watch both slanted news networks, read 4 newspapers on-line, and keep in touch with quite a few nurses.

Most people can’t think that deep. I bought into the hype of this being a doomsday disease at first, but then the numbers everywhere, even internationally don’t support it.

While I agree this virus is real and can kill you if you are elderly or really have a weak immune system it isn’t doomsday either. The numbers don’t support nor do they add up to it.

If the Chinese are being honest this virus was here and being passed from person to person before the holidays. My nephew had pneumonia, my sister had all of the symptoms of this back in December. I had the symptoms of this for 5 days in early February. I have t been tested. I am fine and feel great. We have been letting it rip weeks and probably months before. This probably peaked in January or February.

Why this is happening now and we are locked down I don’t know. I think it had a lot todo with pushing world economies down, getting rid of leaders, allowing wealthy to gain more assets on the cheap while the population becomes obedient and more dependent on the govt.

Even Fauci wavered in how bad this would be in January. Granted it is happening for a reason. The numbers just don’t support the extreme measures we are now taking. Especially if we were letting it rip months and weeks before according to data now being released.

Fauci has proven to be a clown and China certainly can’t be trusted. I’m still LMAO at it all being blamed on a bat.

There are a LOT of people that think we were letting it rip for months before the hype and statistics started to be a focus. Believe me, you are not alone. I am not sure either way, but I think we would know one heck of a lot more if we had antibody tests going on a fast scale and I think those tests are more important than the coronavirus tests themselves because I do feel many people can't get it or if they do, it does about nothing to them.

It is best to keep an open mind about it all. I don't think we were wrong for slowing everything down to a halt until we have an understanding what is going on. We don't want entire cities crushed by this because so many get it all at once, but I feel it is time to open things back up for the most part. Not restaurants/bars though. It is too hard to take correct measures in them.

I also don't think people running around with this hindsight thing going on for political gain. I find it pretty pathetic. I have seen a lot of crap going against Trump on the TV and it makes me want to vote for him more. I don't fall for that garbage very easily, but I vote on policy and he might get my vote. Long way away however.
