cougar Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Since the start of the endemic, I can hardly find a title on CBC not having the distinct COVID-19 mark in it. Did we all stop to live.

It's ridiculous, all about the virus whether it's Canada news, World news, sports, weather, traffic, business. Virus virus virus. Apparently there was an earthquake in the USA this week. Never heard about it in the news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we all stop to live. Anything else happening in this country? Whatever happened to all of those Indian blockades, global warming, and Trump impeachments and so much more? I guess that this so called virus has to now take center stage over everything else that happens in the world. I am really starting to get fed up with hearing about this pandemic every minute of every hour of every day over and over and over and over and over again. Give me a bloody break from all this crap. Sure talk about it, but not constantly every time you turn on the news. It's like they are trying to brainwash us with something here that may not be all that serious and real and for us to be all concerned about. Maybe this is all just bull chit with something else really going on behind the scenes that we are not to know about. There has never been anything like this in regards to any flu virus in the past. Even SARS and the H1N1 viruses did not go this far, and they were just as serious as this one is supposed to be. I think that people need to question more about what is going on here. Question more as I like to do. Works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeitgeist Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I would be very critical and suspect of any plans that try to stretch quarantines beyond about 6 weeks or even a month, because if a four week mass quarantine is done right, there shouldn’t be any new infections. Stretching it out is just a sign that quarantining wasn’t done properly. It means getting very strict right away. I’m thinking this should be in place by Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a war though, no plan survives contact, there are victories and defeats, it lurches back and forth, and it takes longer than everybody expected at the beginning.

That's one of the reasons it took so long to bounce back last time, though I suppose the damage done in the wake of this crash could weaken the American economy's ability to bounce back, which could stretch things out, but I'm not buying that is going to last great depression lengths of time, unless a FDR 2.0 takes the reigns to really stretch the depression out.

Everyone wants to commit economic and social suicide (and cause real harm to some physically and mentally vulnerable people in our society), it breaks my heart. Coronavirus Mortality Rate in US Dips to 1.2% of Confirmed Cases — When Will WHO Be Held Accountable? Quote “If we had not known about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to “influenza-like illness” would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average. The media coverage would have been less than for an NBA game between the two most indifferent teams….If the level of the epidemic does overwhelm the health system and extreme measures have only modest effectiveness, then flattening the curve may make things worse: Instead of being overwhelmed during a short, acute phase, the health system will remain overwhelmed for a more protracted period. That’s another reason we need data about the exact level of the epidemic activity.” John Ioannidis - Stanford virology professor Quote Professor Sucharit Bhakdi has called lockdown measures „useless“, „self-destructive“ and a „collective suicide“. Thus the extremely troubling question arises as to what extent the increased mortality of these elderly, isolated, highly stressed people with multiple pre-existing health conditions may in fact be caused by the weeks-long lockdown measures still in force. If so, it may be one of those cases where the treatment is worse than the disease. A Swiss Doctor on Covid-19 Quote According to Professor Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to the Italian health minister, in Italy „all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus“, although „only 12% of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus.“ A Swiss Doctor on Covid-19 Edited March 23, 2020 by pinky tuscadero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to commit economic and social suicide (and cause real harm to some physically and mentally vulnerable people in our society), it breaks my heart. Coronavirus Mortality Rate in US Dips to 1.2% of Confirmed Cases — When Will WHO Be Held Accountable? 1. There are supposed to be approx. 700,000 people a year that die from some flu like symptons. How do we know as to how many of these people that are dying from this flu bug are really dying from this bug? Are other deaths being lumped in here with this flu bug? Other flu bugs that have come along in the past few decades never got this much attention and some of them were pretty bad where thousands also died from those other flu bugs of the past. We have to only go by what the authorities and the so called experts have to say, and right now I do believe that there is more to this than what meets the eye as they say. Are we all being set up for something just to see how the people will react to a pretend pandemic? All I am doing here is questioning more. 2. This "social distancing" rule of the day now has gone beyond stupid. People walking around outside in the wide open spaces in two's or groups of more cannot be in any danger to anyone. If people are walking outside, than where is the panic or the problem here? If, as one member said here, we get the bug from someone's sneezing droplets well then how is someone going to catch the bug then unless someone they are walking with sneezes in their face or someone bends down and touches the ground and picks up the sneezing bug droplet with their fingers. First it was that it was an air born bug and now this member is telling me that someone can get the flu from sneezing droplets left behind somewhere? But whatever some panic stricken person wants to believe in, I am going to stay quite skeptic about it all. When the media and the politicians are pushing the virus story in a very heavy handed way, well then, that is where I come in and start questioning more. I just do not take what I am being told by the media or our dear leader politicians without question like most lemmings are doing today. Confining people is not the answer or people not being allowed to get together in groups or face fines or jail time is really stupid. But hey. 3. That professor is no doubt saying it like it needs to be said. Maybe all those deaths are not all due to this present day China virus. That alone should make people want to try and use their brains for a change and start to question more. It is easy for the authorities to tell we the people anything because we have no way of knowing if they are telling us the truth or not? We all pretty much have to take their words for it. That convoy of Italian army trucks supposedly carrying the bodies of dead China Corona virus victims could all be just for show to get the sheeple to believe that this China virus is all for real. Question more. It's free to do so you know for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they talk about is sanitizing, washing hands, buying masks, tenant eviction restrictions or rent raise suspensions and what not. There is virtually no regular news any more. Well, some of it is due to cancelled events that did not take place to get in the news. Also how can one in the US do a mass shooting at a theater, school, concert or workplace when those are closed.
