I am not impressed
I mean they spent 6.5 trillion and counting talking about how 1.5 million Americans will die from this..... Then it was 240,000 Americans, and the spending continued.
Now do not get me wrong, the covid 19 virus is scary, the way it is transmitted and the way it behaves, but we have fought worse without shutting down the economy and taking away rights.
As I said not impressed, now it is almost as if they MUST HAVE their numbers so they can justify their actions. I am not buying it.
Look at the numbers........the flu takes more people each year....
The covid has potential to last a long time and wipe out alot more people, but we also have the potential to stop it with drugs and treatments, possibly a vaccine.
As of today 04/07 there are 10,980 deaths in the USA, that will likely double or triple, heck even 5x's by the end of this flu "season"
Sad indeed, but no country wide "Pandemic" to justify their actions.
Stopping you at the border to check your walking papers?
What is essential? Liquor stores and pot shops?
Think about that for a moment.
85% of people who get put on the ventilator never come off.....85%!!!!!!!!
Are the ventilators really saving lives?
They sure are desperate for more ventilators.......... the ventilator in this case is almost a death sentence = scary !
[font="Open Sans", apple-system, blinkmacsystemfont, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", arial, sans-serif]CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season. This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season[font="Open Sans", apple-system, blinkmacsystemfont, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", arial, sans-serif]1[font="Open Sans", apple-system, blinkmacsystemfont, "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", arial, sans-serif].
34,200 from the flu last year and that's totally normal, business as usual.
