We are now witnessing the latest manifestation of Media taking the most extreme proponents of "Conservative" positions as the Norm, thus writing off the entire movement as coming from Looney-Ville.
"We" conservatives are very keen to shift from the neurotic phase of fighting the plague to a "rational and cautious" approach. That is, Fuck your stay-at-home guidance, let's move to looking at every activity and every business rationally, to see how and if it can be re-opened without undue risk.
Golf courses, retail stores, home-improvement businesses, bowling alleys - even movie theaters, could all easily be opened with rational constraints and minimal danger to customers, staff, and others. But our cowardly Governors, Mayors and such are fearful of the political fallout when a few more people get sick, dreading the awful accusations that their easing of restrictions resulted in "needless deaths."
But this is not what is being reported and highlighted in the news. We see pictures of demonstrators in the same proximity as a mosh pit, few wearing any sort of mask, and they are portrayed as the face of the back-to-work movement.
Lying bastards.
They shut down and crushed the U.S. economy based on fake numbers....1-2.4 million Americans would die if we didn't shut down the country...
We shut down the country...
9 days later....oops.....we actually meant 1-200 thousand........
5 days later...ooops......looks like about 80,000
Ooooops......more like 60,000 you know, the same as a bad flu season...
But, you know....flattening the curve.....which didn't happen by shutting down the economy since social distancing didn't have enough time to effect the numbers...
But now the curve is flattened.....so much so we didn't use even close to the number of ventilators we were told we would need...dittos the ICU capacity.....that might have something to do with the only 60,000 predicted dead....after crushing the economy.......and now hospitals have actually laid off staff...........that means they didn't need them............
So now the curve is flattened, we have excess ventilators and ICU beds so any new cases can be treated....
For a Chinese Virus with a survival chance of 98%.......
So now...the democrat governors......they don't want to reopen the economy because they don't want to give Trump time to get the economy going........so now they change from flattening the curve, to saving lives........when we now have the capacity in ventilators and ICU beds for any number of sick people..
This isn't about saving lives...this is about keeping Trump from getting the economy going before the election....
