And censorship is obviously the word. The only standard this comment goes against is the one that says rote repetition of lies is all that is necessary to keep Jack from being a dull boy.
I think this was posted as a comment on a local newspapers comments page. It may be them that is doing this. When you commit a crime, obviously it helps if you clean the scene as carefully as you can before it starts getting looked at people who are not coconspirators.
This is from roughly April, 2020. As I keep saying, my basic understanding of all this has not changed since then. I have seen no facts to indicate that I didn’t call it right nearly from the start.
This whole thing is ludicrous. About 3,500 people die in our State every month from something. About 67 die a month in an average year from the FLU.
Why in God’s name has our Democrat governor chosen to destroy our economy over this? There is not going to be any rush on the ER’s this weekend. We are 2-3 weeks behind Italy and there are no problems with ER access at all. On the contrary: they have nothing to do. How do I know? This left wing mouthpiece is not making full ER’s front page news. Nobody is. CBS even felt the need to use pictures from Italy when they were trying to hype the problem in New York, which has seemingly already passed.
When the smoke clears, when we lift quarantine and start counting the jobs and businesses lost, all of you need to remember that our Governor had NO PLAN, and that, because he has never had to struggle in his life, he didn’t think about or care about the little men and women of the world, whose lives he turned upside down, carelessly, thoughtless, heartlessly.
Three weeks ago, we were all panicking, looking at the pictures from Italy. But now? Now? Now, this just feels stupid. And it IS stupid. All experts agree that without a cure, 60-70% of us need to get this thing, ideally the young. That’s the only way. And it can only happen with social intercourse, with people working.
This article is useful. Written by a doctor, it argues that in the long run social distancing will actually cause MORE people, not less, to die: https://thefederalist.com/…/why-severe-social…/…
