How it really is, high risk for bad outcome people are acting more reckless than freedom fighters. Case in point, dumbass ex is very high risk, he just went on vacation to a mountain resort town for the last week. Now has a cough and fever. I dosed him up with 2 garlic pills, 10000 units vitamin D, 1000 mg vitamin C, selenium, and a large bowl of turkey soup and 2 oranges. Will rinse and repeat today. Will see what outcome is.
Anyhoo, it was his free choice to do what he wanted, now may pay the consequences. No one did anything to him, he chose to play the wheel. Dumbass is lucky he knows me.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

'The Wuhan Files': Leaked Documents Show China Lied About Covid-19, Mishandled The Pandemic
The 117-page internal document revealed that the authorities downplayed confirmed cases and failed to disclose an influence outbreak in early December.

All Trump's fault, though, guyz.
We should've followed the science from the WHO....
... which was in the pocket of ...
China!!!!
The most important thing in February 2020, though, was not to let "xenophobic fear" take over, and not to call it the "China Virus" or "Wuhan Virus", because that was bad, mean, and racist. That's what our Democratic friends told us.
Who remembers when the media and the left were jerking off China and the WHO, even though it was 100% apparent that they were lying to us about COVID?
I guess we're supposed to forget that now.
SCIENCE!!!!
Fuck China, of course a big part of the blame is with them. They can't be trusted on this or anything else. But Trump deserves plenty of blame as well, particularly for encouraging his supporters to ignore the recommendations of scientists, and for other mishandling early on and continuing now. If even 10% of the deaths and long-term effects can be blamed on Trump, that's still huge.

PRESIDENT JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., THE GREAT AND POWERFUL
That’s strange. Never heard them talk about it, and every time I see an outbreak of some long eradicated disease brought back because of not vaccinating, it’s never been a black school around me. It’s always a rural school. They are pretty up front about what they’re afraid of. I always laugh at their fear of dogs.They talk a lot of crazy ass Illuminati type shit, but never heard one word about vaccines
No wonder he hates them so much.....LOL

So... this is getting pretty bad in the US.
2,831 deaths were reported between 5pm Monday and 5pm Tuesday, which is a record for any 24-hour period in the US. Even the terrible days of April, when New Yorkers were croaking left and right, didn't see a day with over 2800 deaths.
However, we have some differences between now and April. Most notably:
1) The carnage is a lot more spread out now, rather than concentrated heavily in one spot (NYC area) in April.
2) We've gotten a lot better at preventing COVID deaths since April, so this means that the rate of infection is much higher now than ever before.
I expected a rise in cases in the winter, but this is exceeding those expectations by a wide margin, unfortunately.
As I said on radio, I believe that this spike is the fault of both the left and the right. The right has often downplayed COVID's seriousness, and many don't believe in masks (or at least are afraid to tell anti-maskers that they're wrong). The left and the media have stressed masking over social distancing (because this made it easier to blame Trump), and thus a lot of the population erroneously believes that masks will usually protect them, and they engage in riskier behavior.
There should be a very clear message right now: DO NOT GO INDOORS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO. IF YOU DO, WEAR A MASK, BUT BE AWARE THAT THE MASK WILL ONLY GIVE YOU VERY LIMITED PROTECTION. PRACTICE AVOIDANCE.
People over 40, or those that live with people over 40, should be especially careful. Of course, the media won't put that message out either, because they don't want to embolden young people to take more risks. This type of dishonesty has again led to a lack of understanding of COVID and a lack of cooperation from the public.
If you think that the United States has done a good job with the Coronavirus consider this fact.
More people will die today in the U.S. than in all of Japan.
U.S. deaths from coronavirus...280,000+
Japan deaths from coronavirus...2,172
Pandemic response lays clearly in the wheelhouse of the incumbent administration. Of course local government is also involved, and they made mistakes.... but were they well led by the feds?
Trump gets a D- from me on COVID response.... generously.
Trying to shift the blame is again disingenuous Druff. You really need to accept the feds are mostly responsible for such things. Then your attempts to shift blame becomes window dressing, nothing more.
My post wasn't even about local governments.
But okay, you want to go there?
For most things in the US, the local and state governments have more influence over the way things are done than the federal government does. This includes COVID.
You know that Los Angeles area testing I was complaining about in the Master Scalir thread? 100% the fault of Los Angeles and the company they hired to manage it.
But that wasn't even what my message was about. The left and the media politicized this from jump street, because they saw it as a way to get Trump out of office.
And it worked. Without COVID, Trump would have won.
However, this also required putting out a dumbed-down, dishonest, simplified message, which was essentially, "Masks are good, wear your mask, evil Trump doesn't want you masking, Republicans hate masks, Trump is killing you, follow the science, if we only masked more we would be doing great like South Korea."
So then you have states like Illinois where there have been strict mask mandates, and they're getting hit worse than any large state right now. People truly believe that masking = safety.
The media has also caused COVID fatigue by sensationalizing stories of healthy 23-year-olds dying or nearly dying from COVID, in a misguided attempt to get young people aboard for the social distancing. Instead, young people are seeing reality with their peers not getting sick, so they're ignoring the media and assuming they're lying (which they mostly are).
The most responsible message about COVID wasn't the most sensational one or the one which would make Trump look worst. But that would have saved the most lives.
The media and the left decided they would turn COVID into a sound byte, and you see the results. Then, on the right, you have some anti-masking idiots and COVID deniers. They are also making things worse.
I personally know many people ON THE LEFT who got infected with COVID because they thought it was safe to go indoors with a mask on.
This has been handled very irresponsibly on several fronts.
