(((Coronavirus))) is the 2nd biggest hoax in history. Can you guess what the first one is? Hint - they both involve disinformation and massively inflating numbers, and they both benefit a certain group of people.

I personally know 9 people who have had it.....including my wife....ranging in age from 22-64. I've heard, through extended family, of 2 who've died from it....they were both in their late 70's and apparently 1 of them was already in rough shape.
Other than being told not to leave the house for 10-14 days, they were all completely fine in 3-4 days, most of them just ended up doing stuff around the house.
-Headache
-Fatigue
-Loss of taste and smell
That's it. My wife had 2 days where she couldn't taste anything and another day where she pretty much just slept all day. Other than that she was normal. Most of the people I've known with it, didn't even know they had it until they got to the "I cant taste or smell" part and went and got tested. Up until that point they all have said the same thing, I felt fine but was maybe a little more tired and had a slight headache but nothing really to even think about.
I also work from home and was here the whole time my wife had it, slept in the same bed, sat on the same couch and I didn't get it....didn't wear a mask.
I also also, sat in the truck with a guy who had it (unknowingly at the time) for 35 minutes on the way to a small wedding where 4 people there got it, one of which I sat next to at the table for most of the night and I didn't get it...no masks there either.

If we let the virus spread without restrictions, a large number of people will die all at once and it will lead to excess preventable deaths becuse our healthcare system will be overrun.
This has been explained. Thousands of times.

The progressive, leftist retards who buy into this covid nonsense the most also reproduce the least. Especially as even if they could get laid they would refrain because their public health idols have told them not to.
Wincel, who is an atheist virgin as most likely are you, will have infinitely fewer children (none) than a fundamentalist or traditionalist of any sort, who tend have the most children of anyone.

Aa far as policy, I actually am rather fond of just letting the boomers (especially those in red states) kick the bucket. But that's an issue worth discussing in another thread.

^Re: virus.
I know plenty of people who have gotten it. My SO, who is a pretty healthy person and is younger than me, was practically stuck in bed for two weeks.
Her grandfather got it and was hospitalized. Dude's a tough mfer and got shot in the leg while being robbed. No health problems. He survived this too.
A mutual friend of my SO and I lost both his father and grandfather to the virus. His mother too. However you swing it, that's incredibly unfortunate.
One thing that kind of bothers me about the crowd who downplays the virus is such that they talked all this chit about how "false positives, people re-testing, etc" contributed to the increase in cases... But then don't want to acknowledge how that also skews the ratio of deaths to cases.
Look, I'm all for you not taking the vaccine if you don't think it's worth it. I don't feel like you should be required to take it. If you don't think the virus is a legitimate threat to your well being, and that it's just the flu, that's fine. I've gotten the flu before and it sucked. I don't want to get it again, and I'm sure you don't either.
As young, healthy individuals, it's fair to go "I will likely survive" and that's most likely true.
It's when the discussion goes from "I will likely survive, I'm a healthy young individual who has decided not to vaccinate and am aware of how this decision may affect me" to conspiracy theories, that we have to address the elephant in the room.
And the elephant in the room is that there's a growing population of people who genuinely think that this is all the result of some secret cabal planning to take over the world... But zero of the theories hold up to scrutiny. Seriously, I've read through a decent amount of them and zero of them hold up or are congruent with each other. And still, miscers will present two opposing conspiracy theories as a congruent thought at times, without even acknowledging it.
In times of uncertainty, public interest in conspiracy theories increases.
Plus, it's even weirder to me that 90% of the people yammering about how the death percentage isn't even that high are also pro-lifers which is the most ironic thing in the world because these SAME people use arguments in the opposite context "All these liberals are talking about how 350K lives matter, but kill babies by the million!" Are you using this argument in favor of letting 350K people die? Because it's like, that's not a pro life argument at all.
And it's like, look, zero of these thoughts are congruent anymore.

Dr. Fauci brings up an excellent point that in the 40's, NYC had a small number of cases of smallpox emerge, and they were able to vaccinate 6 million people in a single week. Our country is absolutely capable of better than this. We can do better than this, and we should.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/18/n...x-vaccine.html
https://www.businessinsider.com/fauc...per-day-2021-1
"I was a six-year-old boy who was one of those who got vaccinated," Fauci said. "So if New York City can do 5 million in two weeks, the United States could do a million a day."

The cure is most certainly not worse than the disease in this case. We will all see what bad looks like if measures aren't taken and if most of the country rejects the vaccine.

Measles is a third-world country disease. It's a disease we pretty much eliminated in the states many years ago. But there were entire communities who decided that they were not interested in taking the vaccine, which, again, that's fine by me.
If, individually, you aren't interested in vaccinating that's fine. However, when a large enough community who isn't interested in vaccinating appears... Chit like that happens.

If you don't think the virus is a legitimate threat to your well being, and that it's just the flu, that's fine. I've gotten the flu before and it sucked. I don't want to get it again, and I'm sure you don't either.
As young, healthy individuals, it's fair to go "I will likely survive" and that's most likely true.
It's when the discussion goes from "I will likely survive, I'm a healthy young individual who has decided not to vaccinate and am aware of how this decision may affect me" to conspiracy theories, that we have to address the elephant in the room.
And the elephant in the room is that there's a growing population of people who genuinely think that this is all the result of some secret cabal planning to take over the world... But zero of the theories hold up to scrutiny. Seriously, I've read through a decent amount of them and zero of them hold up or are congruent with each other. And still, miscers will present two opposing conspiracy theories as a congruent thought at times, without even acknowledging it.
In times of uncertainty, public interest in conspiracy theories increases.
Plus, it's even weirder to me that 90% of the people yammering about how the death percentage isn't even that high are also pro-lifers which is the most ironic thing in the world because these SAME people use arguments in the opposite context "All these liberals are talking about how 350K lives matter, but kill babies by the million!" Are you using this argument in favor of letting 350K people die? Because it's like, that's not a pro life argument at all.
And it's like, look, zero of these thoughts are congruent anymore.

Measles is a third-world country disease. It's a disease we pretty much eliminated in the states many years ago. But there were entire communities who decided that they were not interested in taking the vaccine, which, again, that's fine by me.
If, individually, you aren't interested in vaccinating that's fine. However, when a large enough community who isn't interested in vaccinating appears... Chit like that happens.

Trump's greatest flaw is he cares too much what people think of him to the point where he will do almost anything to be popular and loved.
This virus is actually not a partisan issue. It is killing Republicans and Democrats just the same. It's something that needs to be taken seriously.

Do you, or do you not agree that the current "response to the pandemic" is politically motivated?
Simple yes or no, wincel. Simple yes or no.

They stood by as he and much of the GOP basically flouted their advice.So many words, so little substance.

There are tons of people working in our medical community right now trying to help save lives. They take this very seriously. My brother is one of those people. And if you think this is all politics, you are sadly mistaken, and you will learn that soon enough as the death toll continues to mount and as cases continue to rise. This is a fuking plague and it needs to be treated that way. It has brought many countries to their knees, including countries that are not fans of the US or any Democrat agenda. To think this is all political is ridiculous when you realize it is a global crisis.

So yeah, you're free to not take the vaccine but then also have to acknowledge that it may affect your life in other ways.

However, the current administration is not without their merited fault.
You had a standing president downplay the virus multiple times. Surely there can be fault reserved for how that impacted the response on both ends.

The restriction guidelines are tied to case counts. It's just the recent surge nationally has meant very few places are close to meeting the guidelines. At one point in the summer, a lot of places looked like they were safe to reopen, but people got complacent and careless and here we are again.
The cure is most certainly not worse than the disease in this case. We will all see what bad looks like if measures aren't taken and if most of the country rejects the vaccine.

I don't think places should shut down indefinitely. This has gone on too long, IMO and I'm not about to watch small business go under while corporations get bailed out... Again.

Should rural areas be as strict? Probably not. But the virus is so widespread now, and rural areas also often lack enough testing resources that it is hard to tease out which can be open and which need restrictions. This is another area where our medical community made recommendations for more testing, and their pleas were largely ignored. In fact, Trump and Scott Atlas decided less testing was preferred (mainly because the numbers were making Trump look bad for the election). It really boggles the mind how people can act like the recommendations are politically motivated, when it is the suppression of our medical community and the interference with medical science that is politically motivated.
All the information is there. The people who died are real. It's all real and available for everyone to read about and investigate. You can look. That's why I posted all these videos. So people can see this virus is real, it is causing damage, and people need to take it seriously. They should know the science behind it rather than what their favorite politican tells them. And I hope I have at least reassured some people about the safety of the vaccine.
I will remind you that most of our medical community, essential workers, military, etc are all taking this vaccine. Our leaders are taking the vaccine. Dr. Fauci has taken the vaccine. If it weren't safe, they wouldn't take it. Everything carries with it some degree of risk, but it's theoretically irrational for this vaccine to have any long term effects that the virus wouldn't, and it is also highly unlikely you will have an allergic reaction. It's safe for almost everyone. And given the circumstances, it is definitely recommended.
