ReplyDelete1003 is right, unless we are willing to make ourselves heard this won't end until November 6th.
ReplyDeleteI saw somewhere mentioned this will be ongoing until 2022
ReplyDeletefuck, that sucks
Just go along with it then if you heard it somewhere.
DeleteSee you in 2023, maybe.
the new comment systems sucks as much as the lockdown shit
ReplyDelete^^^ Than please leave, bitch.
DeleteYou ll want to fuck that bitch the next time you are in a sports bar. Weird
DeleteMay 15th makes sense for now but that doesn't take into account all the variables or the impact of what could happen upon reopen. TKC linked the 2022 article yesterday, that seems like a stretch but the thought of people just gathering together in stadiums seems ridiculous and I'd trust the advice of doctors more than politicians or big business that's just worried about money.
ReplyDelete^^^^ You don't think everybody has an angle they're playing? Must be nice to be so naive.
DeleteFeel free to keep debating from the safety of your home if you're lucky enough to have one.
Doctors tell us all the time we are doing this or that wrong. When did you start listening to them?
Delete^^^ +100
DeleteDipshit you can open alot of businesses that don't require ppl amassing in stadiums.
DeleteIt doesn't have to be all or nothing.
This virus will be like the flu every winter You can't stop this from mutating. Are you going to shut down business every year .and yes the problem is People get off a plane and infect your community. Or People come from Illinois and start a ippademic. That is what happened in St Louis OR millions of New Yorkers,Decide to leave and bring this to the Midwest. You have to open business. Or communities Like Overland Park and Lee's Summit will be in Forclosers Car Repo You can't do business with someone who don't Have any money. .and the top twenty percent that was stashing money for decades will come in and buy Real a state for thirty cents on the dollar .and repo,cars And the flipping starts all over again.
ReplyDeleteDrink another beer drunk! Your car was up for repo before the virus, and tow truck drivers are apparently considered a "essential business" so park your buy here pay her peice of shit in the garage you dont have and shut the fuck up.
DeleteDumbfuck @ 2:09. What's wrong with Retro's statement that it'll be like the flu? Nothing. In fact as Covid deaths are artificially inflated (all deaths count towards covid regardless of actual cause) the other causes of deaths have fallen below yearly average, especially flu. Now, the CDC rather than giving an actual flu death count which would readily demonstrate the corresponding drop inverse to the Covid rise, they're now giving a range (20k - 61k <- strange top number matches current covid estimates). Make no mistake, when this mass hypnotic hysteria is over, and the gov has to publish actual death counts: THERE WILL BE NO DIFFERENCE IN NET DEATHS WITH COVID THAN YEARS PREVIOUS.
DeleteEpidemic is an excuse for martial law THE NEW AMERICA. The Globalist And World Order did an end around on the U.S.Constitution. The small business fail The Large Corporations GET the bailout And continue to Extract peoples wealth. T
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock of shit.
DeleteThere are no "globalists" & there is no "New World Order" being planned by anyone.
This is a PANdemic. Stop being parochial & paranoid. We don't know what will happen this summer, fall or next winter, so stop guessing.
I don't know what fringe web site your buying into, but for the sake of your mental health, you should leave it.
I didn't make that last statement as you all know I'm completely too stupid to string that many words together.
DeleteYou say "Epidemic"...according to the planet this is a PANDEMIC, I bet you are so stupid you dont know the difference! So how about you shut the fuck up until you can bring something to the table that involves facts and not just your emotiotions gay BOI.
DeleteNo globalists...useful idiot. You know what else are pandemics, the common cold and flu.
DeleteRR is right, after the banks foreclose on your house and you hopefully get a sec 8 apmt or 6c6 square at the shelter and food stamps the only place to go, when they let you out, will the surviving big corp.s.
I didn't make the comment at 2:03. The liar who made that comment didn't have anything to say.
DeleteMy point is how can it be a conspiracy against Americans when it's world wide?
You might have not made the comment but you are indeed stupid so a major part of it is very correct.
DeleteToo bad your story sucks worse that what you think TKC does. Also your facts are not all correct either but I'm sure you're drunk so go figure.
ReplyDeleteI suggest some of you talk to a doctor or nurse or CNA if you have a chance. They will tell you that its a very horrible virus. About 30X worse in symptoms than the usual bad flu. You will feel like your dying for 15 days. And it leaves you with damaged lungs and diminished lungs for life. Look at the charts, most people hospitalized are about 45 to 60 in age. While I dont think its a humanly engineered warfare agent, its doing the same thing as a biological bomb dropped on Kansas City. The govt has to downplay it to prevent outright panic and lawlessness. But some of you reading this will die from it in the next 6 months. Its a real killer, 2 people a minute are dying in NYC. If it was a sniper team there in NYC - shooting 2 people a minute people would be so very terrified. But they think a virus is less lethal -wrong!
ReplyDeleteThe flu is more lethal, should have used that analogy instead of a sniper.
DeleteA lot of doctors would describe a serious flu case the same as above.
Fucking fearmongerer.
Not everyone even has symptoms. No one feels symptoms the same. Many are not severe. Maybe you should talk to your dr friends and learn you missed the basics of any conversation and use of common sense.
DeleteWHO is who has fucked us all. World leaders looked to them as to what to do and they failed us. I agree with Trump fuck them and fuck giving them anymore money as they failed not only the US but the whole world.
ReplyDeleteThe Who warned us early & often, & Der Fuhrer praised them for it, but he needed a scapegoat.
DeleteHe lies. Everyday, all day.
Byron knows lies. His life is one.
DeleteCutting off aid to the WHO during a global pandemic is cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's incredibly stupid, shortsighted, and dangerous.
DeleteEven using Trump's justification, that the WHO is too China-centric, what does removing US funding do? It makes China the largest nation funding the organization. So Trump is actually making the problem he described even worse, proving again he is an idiot.
The WHO has been going downhill fast for a long time. We cant rely on them anymore. The USA needs to rely on itself, make drugs within our borders and not rely on goods from other countries.
ReplyDeleteIf so there go all the Dollar Stores....
DeleteWhat a sorry state this country has come to where ppl happily give up their rights and freedoms, parrot what the tv tells them all because of a scary pandemic that is serious or kills less than 1% of infected and those are mostly the very old and already sick.
ReplyDeleteThere are other options, let those that are high risk quarantine.
We are not giving up our rights & freedoms.
DeleteYou are the fearmongers.
Really dipshit. Can you gather in a group, do you have freedom of movement, can you open a business today, can you go hangout at your favorite place.
DeletePlaces in the us are worse, parks closed, beaches closed the ocean closed.
Use your rights or lose them.
Biggest fakest plague ever is being used as a political weapon
I mean, would anyone not looking to sow discontent, fear and panic post about a burial pit in Swope Park?
DeleteThe only real NEWS of the day is Chris CHomo 's wife has Covid-19. I thought he would have a husband. Shows you a woman will marry anything for money , And a Mr know it all doesn't follow the shit he spreads, but spreads it well. You know it's bad when his brother states he was careless and unthinking. Enjoy the rewards for Idiot American leaders.
ReplyDeleteThe countries that are doing well with this are all lead by women. The countries that are struggling are all led by science denying men.
ReplyDeleteMost of the commenters on this blog are science denying men, so it's like talking to little children.
The countries that did basically nothing..sweden, scotland iceland mexico are no worse off, but will actually be better off in the long run.
DeleteFace even if the us had done virtually nothing we would be right where we are now except the economy would still be booming and everyone would have jobs to pay their bills and live without having to beg for government handouts, but since you are on the dole I would not expect you to understand.
PS if you can monitor this site and post all the time why are you even on welfare?
DeleteBecause he is one of the reasons this country is fucked up. Scammers like Byron get away with screwing the system but have the balls to point a finger at everyone else labeling them as Nazi's and people against poor people so on and so on.
DeleteByron is the one who needs to be in jail not our POTUS.
Who stands to gain from crashing the US economy, that’s right Einstein the globalists. Oh and who are the globalists Einstein, correct again the lousy worthless democrats. The leftist have worked in concert with China for years aka. Biden and friends. Correct again in order for them to receive cash from China they first must demonstrate that they are American traitors. And of coarse in the middle of all of this is China they got it broke off in their asses with tariffs next thing you see they unleash germ warfare on America with thousands of suicide bombers carrying the virus to our shores. So don’t believe a word they say if a communist’s mouth is moving they’re lying just like the communists democrat infiltrators in our government
ReplyDeleteI've been for over 30 years and still am a registered democrat and everything this guy says is true. The democrats are traitors and saboteurs.
DeletePelosi is sitting in her mansion doing cupcake interviews saying the House will not convene for weeks because there is no emergency
"The WHO warned us early & often...." That is a lie. The WHO spent a crucial month parroting its (and your) ideological bedfellow the CCP, until it became too obvious that it was participating in a cover-up. Another international institution that spends money like water and does a poor job.
ReplyDeleteEpidemic vs. pandemic: there is no difference between the two on a regional, local or individual basis. Pandemic is just an epidemic that is global in scope and is not well controlled. It has nothing to do with lethality.
The WHO declared the virus a global emergency on January 30th.
DeleteDonald Trump waited and finally declared the virus a national emergency on March 13th.
Between January and March, Trump gave multiple interviews and sent tweets congratulating China on their transparency, hard work, success, and giving them "much respect".
It's crystal clear who was slow, wrong and is now covering up.
From a news report about the WHO's January 30 declaration: "In making the announcement, WHO leaders urged countries not to restrict travel or trade to China, even as some have shut down borders and limited visas."
ReplyDeleteAlso: "The PHEIC gave Tedros the authority to formally recommend that countries not limit travel and trade to China, though other nations do not have to comply."
And: " But WHO officials have repeatedly lauded the country’s response. On Thursday, Tedros said that were it not for China’s efforts, 'we would have seen many more cases outside China by now.'"
Nice job, WHO! Thanks for the warnings you China suckup!
That makes sense.
DeleteTrump didn't shut down ban travel or trade to and from China.
What happened to America first? Trump has been the biggest China cheerleader since the pandemic started. Trump even stopped calling it the Wuhan Chinese virus. It's easy to blame the WHO for that direction, but not factual.
Trump keeps saying he's getting his info directly from his good friend President Xi. Thank you! Much Respect!
