In case no one is paying attention (or worse, listening to the MSM)-today was the lowest number of Chinavirus deaths since mid March (326). Only one day this week that was over 1000-for the first time in months. The death toll has been trending down every week. This, after we have been opening up for 6 weeks. Now, you might ask those in the MSM why they aren't reporting that, and instead are pushing FUD.

People are scared to go outside without a mask because they are afraid they will catch the "virus", they are scared to be closer than 6 feet from another person etc. So yes people are scared, i on the other hand not afraid and refuse to follow government guidelines.

I am not afraid of the virus. No I am afraid of people like you. Those that don't want to follow guidelines because it makes them look scared or think government guidelines are about control. People like you are why this virus continues to spread. People wear masks to prevent their coughs or a random allergy sneeze don't cause a panic. People stand six feet apart so they can't talk and get sick from a person's droplets when they accidentally spit.

That proves that either 1) The increase in raw case numbers is strictly due to more testing alone and not an actual increase in cases: only an increase in diagnosed cases or 2) The virus has mutated into a less lethal form or 3) The people now being infected are younger and healthier and are much more likely to recover from the virus than the wave that got infected in April OR 4) Some combination of any of the above. Take your pick!

Anything i can do to spread this virus, i for sure will do it. This is nothing but more extreme version of regular flu and yes i refuse to give government control over me. Lock down should have never happened.

If the virus and lockdowns were entirely a political ploy to ruin the economy and destroy Trump, why did Italy and Span go into much stricter and earlier lockdowns than the U.S. when it doesn't matter to them which party wins the election in the U.S. in November. I do have a thread for people to debate the topic in this thought experiment if the pandemic had hit in a non-election year when Obama was president:

We can only hope but I doubt it will regardless of who gets the state electors to win the presidency. In all likelihood it is here for a few years now.

Once again, it is not the same as the flu. Never has been. It's an entirely different virus. Don't make the world more stupid.
