Unfortunately, with President Trump effectively communicating the latest information on the federal efforts to mitigate COVID-19, more corporate U.S. resistance media have decided not to carry the live broadcasts from the White House task force briefings.
Today at 5:00pm the White House will hold a briefing for the public and media on the latest mitigation efforts against the coronavirus. [Livestream Links Below]
Everything you would ever need to know about a slimy multinational corporate executive is laid out in this interview with 3M CEO Mike Roman. While answering questions globalist Roman tries to hide what 3M is doing by stuttering and stammering around cover words.
Keep in mind, 3M is a U.S. owned company doing manufacturing business inside China. However, Beijing took control over 3M and nationalized their manufacturing facilities. But Roman doesn’t want to admit what happened. Listen carefully at 03:00:
“we have produced millions of respirators and now we have arranged to import more masks from China. We have an agreement to allow us to export ten million additional masks a month out of China”…
National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow appears on Fox News to answer Sandra Smith’s dramatic questions about the U.S. economy collapsing and “dropping into the deepest recession in U.S. history.” The Trump administration has devoted enormous resources to the COVID-19 stimulus package to keep families and small businesses afloat amid the coronavirus outbreak.
.
Meanwhile Bill Hemmer is waxing philosophically about hearing the sounds of birds in Manhattan for the first time in generations and what that means to America. According to the knucklehead COVID-19 appears to be forcing planet earth to heal itself from a parasitic human society that lost connection to their deeper selves.
Meanwhile on CNN Chris Cuomo and Brooke Baldwin play the role of “influencers” for the WHO; selling with dramatic flare what it’s like to cope with Coronavirus, and how that changes you as a person to become more deep and connected to your center sphere… It’s a level of enlightenment only possible through the virus.
“I’ve known you for many years, but I never knew how bad a Senator you are for the state of New York, until I became President”
Senator Schumer thought he would zing Trump with a snarky letter telling Trump he is doing a terrible job leading the country in a crisis. Trump sent Schumer his “rebuttal “.
Schumer’s butt never knew what hit it…
OUCH!
You play with fire you get burned Cryin’ Chuck!

It is the gross overreaction of certain government and business leaders to the Wuhan coronavirus of 2020, otherwise known as COVID-19, that is the danger to the United States, not the virus itself. The abundance of data show that the virus is far less dangerous than the seasonal flu, and if the overreaction is not stopped and reversed immediately, it will severely damage the economy and the lives that depend on it.
Number of people who will die of COVID-19 illness will be a small fraction of those who die of the flu every season
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that during the 2019-2020 flu season since September 29, 2019 approximately 23,000-59,000 have died of the flu out of 231,654 confirmed cases. That’s a confirmed case fatality rate (CCFR) of roughly 10% to 25%. As of April 1, there have been 5,157 fatalities among 216,529 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States. That is a CCFR of about 2.4%—which is only about 10% to 24% of the CCFR of the flu. However, because most people with non-life threatening symptoms don’t present themselves to health facilities to be tested or counted for statistics, the CCFR for both illnesses vastly overestimate the actual chance of dying if infected: the infection fatality rate (IFR). To calculate the IFR, the number of fatalities is divided by the estimated number of people infected.
So how can we know what the IFR is for contracting COVID-19? If people who manifest similar symptoms are both hospitalized and tested for COVID-19 as they would be for the flu, then we can make a rough comparison between them. It is estimated by the CDC that about 38 to 54 million people have contracted the flu during the 2019-2020 season. If we divide the flu fatalities stated previously, by the estimated number of infections, it would mean a flu IFR that ranges from about 0.04% to 0.16%.
Left are already calling for using this opportunity to nationalize industries, socialize medicine, explode the debt, universalize the welfare state, and to violate constitutional rights and liberties
If we know that the CCFR of COVID-19 is about 10% to 24% of the CCFR of the flu, then the IFR of COVID-19 is most likely a similar fraction of the IFR of the flu: 10% to 24% of 0.04% to 0.16% results in an IFR for COVID-19 of approximately 0.004% to 0.04%. If that fatality rate holds, and a similar number of Americans contract COVID-19 as contract the flu, the total number of fatalities in the U.S. from COVID-19 would be at most about 21,600—almost all of whom would be very elderly and infirm or immune compromised. Even after the virus has run its entire course, under the worst case scenario, you would be about ten times more likely to be struck by lightning in your lifetimethan die from COVID-19.
Given those numbers, it becomes clear that the number of people who will die of COVID-19 illness will be a small fraction of those who die of the flu every season. So we should be asking questions that the hysteria promoting media are apparently avoiding:
Why haven’t states or the federal government ever taken these kinds of measures before for any other illness in history?
If the country is not shut down because of the flu, and wasn’t for the H1N1 swine flu of 2009, why shut it down for COVID-19?
How do the confirmed case rates of growth and fatality rates of growth in states with business closures compare with states without business closures?
What kind of effect can we expect the economic destruction caused by restrictions to have on long term health and mortality, including suicide?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to encourage the vulnerable to self-isolate, than to close businesses and restrict everyone?
If there is a safe and effective treatment (hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin) and a vaccine, why continue the restrictions?
Are these the kind of measures we can expect from now on for the seasonal flu or outbreaks of similar illnesses which regularly occur several times per decade? If not, why not?
If COVID-19 can remain viable on surfaces for days, what is the likelihood of not coming into contact with the virus when grocery stores, hardware stores, banks, and post offices remain open and people still handle store items, shopping carts, money, credit card terminals, and the daily mail?
If shopping at grocery stores is allowed, why is shopping at any other store different?
How is it moral to have the government prevent small businessmen and their employees from earning a living and then demand of them the tax money to pay government employees who are not working during that same period?
Where can people find the constitutional authority for the federal or state governments to shut down businesses, and restrict gatherings and internal travel?
What are the limits to government powers under a declaration of emergency?
A state-by-state examination of the graphs of COVID-19 confirmed cases and fatalities indicates no correlation between the imposition of business shutdowns and either the growth rate of infection or the growth rate of fatalities. On the other hand, it is well documented that economic decline leads to a decline in health and life expectancy. That makes sense. Wealth is dependent on productivity. Higher productivity creates a greater abundance of goods and services on which our health depends, which makes them more affordable: the basic resources we need, the quality of our medical care, the quality of our place of residence, greater freedom to engage in professions that are less hazardous or stressful, and time-off for relaxation and self-improvement. Sudden economic decline, particularly business failure, bankruptcy, and unemployment are also significant contributors to death by suicide. Ultimately, our health depends on our ability to keep doing, without interference, what each one of us does best.
Health will not be the only casualty of the overreaction, so will the American way of life and what we are conditioned to tolerate. Freedom to do what we do best as individuals and to trade freely with others with reliable currency, under a reliable system of laws that protect our rights, is the reason that Americans enjoy such a high standard of living in general. So far, various leaders in both major parties have undermined all of those things. Americans are being threatened with arrest for going to going to work, going to church, operating and patronizing businesses, and being told that their currency will be inflated to pay companies and individuals for doing nothing—none of which have any basis in the federal or state constitutions. Those on the left are already calling for using this opportunity to nationalize industries, socialize medicine, explode the debt, universalize the welfare state, and to violate constitutional rights and liberties. If we allow these un-American precedents to be set over the pretext of dealing with an illness that could be less dangerous than the flu, is there any reason to believe that the American way of life and our current standard of living is likely to continue?
Many individuals and small businesses cannot survive weeks of no income
Whatever your talent, skill, job, or business, do you believe that government interference helps you produce more and better goods or services at a lower cost? If not, then how would the emergence of a new virus change that? If the mandates, closures, and restrictions were not imposed, there would be no panic. Individuals and businesses would always move to fill any need, whether it be treatments and supplies for a fighting a disease, or new demand for certain household goods. Any shortages of ventilators, hospital beds, treatments, tests, and cures are the result of the heavy regulation over the field of medicine—many of which have come to the public’s attention due to the announcements of the temporary easing of some of them. The shortages in masks, toilet paper, and shelf-stable food items are caused by anti-gouging laws. Without them, prices could be temporarily raised to meet demand and discourage hoarding. What is worse, finding what you need at a temporarily elevated price, or not finding what you need at any price? Virtually everywhere you see shortages, government interference is responsible. Make no mistake: it is not the virus that is causing economic destruction: it is the government.
Many individuals and small businesses cannot survive weeks of no income. Not only will the proposed handouts not make up for their staggering losses, incurring debt to distribute printed “stimulus” or bailout money will cause even further economic destruction from inflation. If the state and federal governments ruin the economy with their overreaction, people will lose their jobs and businesses, goods and services will become more expensive, and quality of life will diminish. Time wasted in mandated idleness can never be recovered.
Many people will be misled to believe that the same government policies that caused the problems should be increased to solve them. That will make the adoption of a total welfare state, socialism, and a centrally planned economy more likely: all of which will permanently decrease quality of life and increase mortality far beyond what COVID-19 would ever have caused.
Our enemies are watching closely
Also, our enemies are watching closely. If we paralyze ourselves and destroy our economy because of something that is not even as bad as the flu, they must be imagining what would we do to ourselves if the virus had been more deadly. What reason would they have to not use that form of attack? This kind of weakness must not be shown to our enemies.
The precedent should never be set that this is the way to deal with a new contagious disease: putting people in a panic with grim tones and dour faces, getting people accustomed to dictatorial edicts, violating people’s constitutional rights with shutdowns and travel restrictions, increasing debt for “stimulus” and bailouts, and getting people used to receiving checks for doing nothing. It would be much better instead for the government to do nothing. That way, they won’t further interfere with the ability of the free market to meet people’s needs, including solving the problems caused by this illness or any other illness.
If politicians feel the urge to deflect media criticism by taking action, they should take the opportunity to make it clear to the American people that they have determined that COVID-19 is less dangerous than the flu, approve the existing vaccine for immediate use, repeal anti-gouging laws, and cut or eliminate the payroll tax. They should also immediately end all restrictions, and stop with the bailouts, handouts, and “stimulus” bills. In fact, every American should contact their governors, congressional representatives, and the White House and insist on those things.
Now is not the time for passive acceptance. Our health, wealth, liberty, and way of life are at stake, and so is our country.
Whomever you are, whatever you are doing at this very moment, the Chinese communists and their greedy, supremacist warmongers have ruined your lives. I can speak only for my life however, and here I will.
I want it back!
They put your children’s, parent’s and grandparent’s, relative’s, friend’s and coworker’s lives in lethal jeopardy. They waged total war on the West and attacked every civilian.
The Chinese Communists have waged Bio-Warfare on you. The evidence is mounting!
Coroner’s examination of victim’s lungs prove that Covid-19 is a manufactured bioweapon with HIV and SARS components plus up to 30 batviruses, and partly responsive to HIV drugs. That fact alone proves thatCOVID-19 is a bioweapon that doesn’t exist in nature.
Reader “Wizardly,” not verbatim: Would the Chinese sacrifice several hundred thousands of their own to test and spread a killer disease to achieve their long-term aim of global economic and political domination?
Mao’s boys slaughtered 20 million. The Chinese communists imprisoned millions of Muslims, murdered political prisoners, then harvested their organs for profit, and threatened to withhold life-saving medications (only they make) from the U.S. “Remember TV ads showing a Chinese lecturer saying about the Chinese-American relationship, “and now they work for us”? Don’t forget it.”
Chinese Communists waged war on America deliberately, purposefully, with a clear and well-known agenda. They have expressed it publicly. Take China’s long-term plan to dominate global commerce, wealth and people.
Temporary inconvenience, and a few years of collateral damage? That will hardly deter them.
You can expect the knee-jerking from the same Democrats who have, along with the businesses cited, colluded, cooperated, coordinated and yes, conspired to control the free flow of information in the US using the cited Google, Apple, Facebook and others.
Go full screen to see what the Chinese communists have robbed. See what another American homeboy living there, the lead singer of Zoli Band, is experiencing. He’s the former frontman for the rock legends Ignite and Misfits. He’s walking through our neighborhood in that beautiful video.
“We Are the World” were all mugged. Sing it!
Tens of millions of the world’s citizens and their descendants will remember what China has done
Meanwhile, we see the most advanced and sophisticated medical care administered by tens of thousands of heroes, who stand by helplessly, as they get severely ill and die themselves.
We don’t know the fate of the American economy, the best in world history under President Donald Trump. It probably lost trillions as well as America’s economic future—as America’s progressives are high-fiving each other because the Chinese have given it to The Man. 9-11 cost the US $1 Trillion. We are way past $3 Trillion in subsidies right now—and add the $8T market wipeout.
The cost in lives and treasure is incomprehensible.
What I know is this: After this blight has passed, any Chinese high official or diplomat serving in an international city and mission might consider never leaving their facilities. Tens of millions of the world’s citizens and their descendants who never got justice, but death and pain, will remember what China has done.
Make no mistake! The Chinese released H1N1 infecting 60 million Americans with close to 13,000 dead. For six months Barack Obama and Joe Biden sat on their thumbs while stoking race riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, and Oakland; and turned their backs as the Chinese robbed America of trillions in trade imbalances.
This, after the Clintons sold out America to the Chinese. America’s intellectual property, America’s security, technology, jobs, factories, and wealth.
This not being enough, shortly after they sold America out to the Russians!
For the Democrat elites, as a rule, politics is the business of lining one’s own pockets
Exactly the crimes of treason, deception, malfeasance, dereliction of duty, corruption, quid pro quo, and self-dealing for which these two global criminals and Democrats had indicted this president!
As well as Barack Obama having first removed defensive missiles from Poland signaling for the Russians to invade Ukraine. Not enough, he expropriated a half billion of the taxpayer’s money without congressional approval for SOLYNDRA that donated to his campaign. That company went belly up. Hussein then sold Solyndra’s assets for pennies on the dollar. And more donations from the Chinese who picked up Solyndra through surrogates.
All told, through massive corruption, self-dealing, pay-to-play and illegal activities, Obama arguably removed a trillion dollars from the public treasury to get himself re-elected.
The collusion, cooperation, coordination and conspiracy of America’s progressive elites to progressively fill their coffers, will become legend. While doing that, they continue to aid the Chinese communists to gain global supremacy.
For the Democrat elites, as a rule, politics is the business of lining one’s own pockets.
Make no mistake, the Chinese loosened MERS on us, attributed it to the middle east, but being a coronavirus, it arguably came from China. Bird Flu, SARS too, and who knows what else?
I don’t fear the Chinese communists for writing these words. I didn’t fear the Russians who blew our home up. Not even when I got hit with shrapnel. We did not fear their border guards nodding drunk next to the machine guns they aimed out of haystacks as we crawled past them in the dark. I fear the Democrat assassins and the companies that do business with China far less.
Instead, they should fear people like us!
They should fear my successors in the real, red America and those Americans in blue states being awakened by our broken and malfunctioning health care system they had voted for. Obamacare.
Our numbers…are legion.
I demand compensation! I demand restitution!
I demand justice. I demand the freedom to repeat what I said here until the American People understand fully China’s Black Swan that the communists, Chinese and American, coordinated, while busying themselves with impeaching this president at the very same time!
I demand the freedom to sue in American or international courts to be made whole and get recompense. I want my life back. I demand the American People be given the same rights.
It used to be that the most unsafe place to be in America, was a mother’s womb. Today, with COVID-19 rolling across the nation, anywhere in America is equally unsafe.
Are we getting a taste of our own medicine?
Now, we see the great energy and total involvement it takes to stop something we don’t want.
We watch daily as the death count rises, never once considering that the count of dead babies stays at about 4,000 every day, day after day and year after year.
It has been swept under the rug of our national conscience since 1973. But, for a while anyway, the chickens have come home to roost.
Some states have closed abortion clinics during the pandemic, and others are keeping the ball rolling. The ACLU has decided to sue almost all of the states that nixed the abortion clinics.
One blogger replied to the video (below) with this perfect summary.
“Planned Parenthood: More effective at killing people than Covid-19.”
What is “essential” about killing perfectly healthy and harmless human beings?
“Abortion clinics across the country are continuing to offer services, which providers call essential and time sensitive”
What is “essential” about killing perfectly healthy and harmless human beings?
Time sensitive indeed, if you don’t get it done now it may be too late. God forbid that you may actually have to act as a responsible person in America.
But the term “time sensitive” has a double entendre. Maybe it’s “time” for some of us to die and the unborn to live.
Seem too harsh? Remedy for that – witness an actual abortion and then when you can actually sleep at night again – grow up.
Abortion has sunk like a stone in the American psyche so deeply that even provoking someone to apply a miniscule dab of conscience to the subject seems offensive.
This writer has had people question me when I declared the well-known fact that, since 1973, 60,000,000 (sixty million) unborn human beings were discarded like ordinary refuse.
Others have asked me in total unbelief just where it is that the Bible describes a nation of ancient people that actually offered their infant children to an idol in a sacrifice. (Lev 18:21) Both the idol Molech and Baal called for infant sacrifices.
Those that asked the question were offended with the idea that human wickedness, (idolatry) and selfishness, (abortion) could be equally compared. But ignorance and selfishness have always shared the same throne.
Even a general theologian could answer the question of whether God does intervene in the affairs of men to bring judgments, calamities, pandemics et al. The simplest answer is all that is needed – yes!
But exactly when and how God acts in response to our deep immoralities and perversions would take a theological treatise. Let’s take the most direct route with what is known as the “great law of reciprocation.”
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” – Galatians 6: 7
Has the coronavirus pandemic qualified under the great law of reciprocation to be labeled a return for our worst behaviors? You can answer for yourself, but for me, there is little doubt.
Anyone who thinks for one second that I am exaggerating by calling this a global coup does not know me very well. I do not buy into conspiracy theories. I rely upon qualified sources – not rumor or conjecture. I have WARNED that we are facing a leftist coup of major proportions. I have warned that this virus was not a real threat from the beginning. It was not a biological weapon spliced with aids or a leak. This has been an intentional misrepresentation. My sources suggest it existed in the previous flu season in China.
The United Nations, and their World Health Organization, is behind this coup as well. The death toll is far less than the annual flu (about 10%) but the press is so happy to support this Marxist agenda. The journalists who are following orders from their managing editors are sealing their own future and that of their families and children. They used this virus for there is no vaccine but there are plenty of independent sources saying the medicine to treat malaria have been working with no deaths in France and elsewhere.
The United Nations has now produced a 26-page report outlining an action plan to address the various socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 and the DESTRUCTION of the world economy that has been intentionally carried out by the left. The United Nations has been using Climate Change to try to create a one-world government order, but they have run into way too much resistance. Climate Change is now dead. They have moved on to something that allows them to threaten that people will die IMMEDIATELY unless they surrender all their freedoms. The agenda of the Climate Change was to seize industry and effectively nationalize them. They will do that now by virtually bankrupting them and the state will just take them over. This is the scheme that was even talked about in Germany to nationalize companies since they cannot bail them out.
This is the oldest trick in the book. The United Nations is seeking the power to IMPOSE a 10% global tax on everyone for what they are describing as a “global health crisis unlike any in the 75-year history of the United Nations.” This is because they conspired to create one out of a hyped up virus. You would think this is at the level of the Black Death.
Everything we have ever believed were our human rights are no longer valid. The left was trying to shut down all gun sales. Trump called gun shops essential for protection in light of rising civil unrest. This is the left moving AGGRESSIVELY to force their failed agenda to the ultimate power grab. The pension system is collapsing. All the promises they have made since World War II are crumbling to dust. This is why they have been so intent upon getting rid of Trump and were fighting against BREXIT. They want no opposition. This is why I have tried to document everything and made this report only $9.95. This is our future on the line.
….Sometimes within a 24 hour period Fauci will make a statement, then contradict the initial assertion, then attempt to cloud his own conflict with obtuse and wordy explanations…
CTH noted yesterday that Dr. Fauci was once again talking nonsense on a level that is almost incredible; but we needed to see it in the official transcript to be certain.
During the coronavirus briefing on Wednesday April 1st, Dr. Fauci stated -and no media challenged him- that CDC guidelines for “stay-at-home” directives would remain in place until all new cases ceased, & deaths were no longer happening. This could take years.
[Transcript (emphasis mine)] – Q Thanks, Mr. President. A question for Dr. Fauci. Looking beyond, when we’re on the other side of this curve, are we looking at living with some sort of social distancing guidelines essentially until there’s treatment or a vaccine? For example, people looking forward to the summer talk about, you know, going to baseball games, going to concerts. We have political conventions over the summer. Are things like that possible or safe without a vaccine or a treatment in place?
DR. FAUCI: Yeah, I think if we get to the part of the curve that Dr. Birx showed yesterday when it goes down to essentially no new cases, no deaths at a period of time, I think it makes sense that you’re going to have to relax social distancing.
The one thing we hopefully would have in place, and I believe we will have in place, is a much more robust system to be able to identify someone who’s infected, isolate them, and then do contact tracing. Because if you have a really good program of containment that prevents you from ever having to get into mitigation — we’re in mitigation right now. That’s what the social and physical distancing is.
The ultimate — the ultimate solution to a virus that might keep coming back would be a vaccine. In fact, I was on the weekly conference call with the WHO-sponsored group of all the health leaders in the world who are dealing with this. And we all came to the agreement that we may have cycling with another season. We’ll be much better prepared. We likely will have interventions. But the ultimate game changer in this will be a vaccine, the same way a vaccine for other diseases, that were scourges in the past, that now we don’t even worry.
THE PRESIDENT: And, Tony, how are they — how are they doing with the vaccines, Tony?
DR. FAUCI: I mean, the vaccine is — is, as I said, it’s on target. We’re still in phase one. There were three doses that we had to test. We’ve been through the first two doses. We’re on the highest dose now.
When we get that data — it’ll take a few months to get the data to feel confident to go to the phase two. And then a few months from now, we’ll be in phase two. And I think we’re right on target for the year to a year and a half. (End Transcript)
Setting aside that Fauci loves him some vaccines… (along with Bill Gates)… the fact Fauci would advocate for social distancing until new cases of COVID-19 are no longer happening is essentially keeping the country locked down for many months, possibly years.
That is just nuts…. However, that type of over-the-top gibberish is identical to other statements made by Fauci during this crisis which we first noted on March 17th.
There’s been a debate about possible political motives surrounding the panic he has created; the massive economic damage he has inflicted; and the conflicting assertions of National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci.
CTH identifies the motives as sketchy. He appears to use his position to advance theories and yet position himself to avoid scrutiny.
Sometimes within a 24 hour period Fauci will make a statement, then contradict the initial assertion, then attempt to cloud his own conflict with obtuse and wordy explanations. After watching for several weeks, we called it out HERE.
Perhaps one way to help see through the professional obfuscation, and identify just exactly how political Dr. Fauci is, would be to: compare and contrast Dr. Fauci under President Obama in September 2009 after 3,000 to 4,000 H1N1 deaths in the USA -vs- Dr. Fauci under President Trump in March 2020 after 200 to 300 COVID-19 deaths. WATCH:
.
Now, to better absorb the information…. According to the CDC final estimate of 2009 U.S. H1N1 cases (published in 2011): from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million U.S. cases, 274,304 U.S. hospitalizations, and 12,469 U.S. deaths occurred due to H1N1. That’s the empirical data.
After: (1) watching that 2009 video; and (2) comparing the 2009 H1N1 response to the current 2020 COVID-19 response; and (3) reviewing the empirical data; we must admit to ourselves there is a VERY BIG difference. So now, with the baseline established, we look for why such a big difference; and to do that we (4) evaluate the politics:
Now, pause for a moment – reread that again – don’t skip past it. Think about what type of mindset would send such a letter and communication. Apply common sense. Trust your instincts…
Would a person of reasonable disposition send such a letter or email to anyone in their professional network? Would you ever consider writing a letter to your employer, or the family of your employer, declaring your undying love and devotion toward them?
“rarely does a speech bring me to tears”?… “please tell her I love her more than ever”?.. “please tell her that we all love her”… etc.
Seriously…. think about it. If you have ever engaged in a large system, large business, or large network of professionals, how would you react to a person inside that organization who was sending such non-professional communication? What exactly does that say about the emotional stability of such a person?
And this person, right now, with this inherent sensibility, has the most consequential and direct influence over the decision-making for the worlds most powerful nation. Stunning.
The concept of “flattening” the virus curve; the presumptive reason for social distancing and shutting down the U.S. economy; is based on a theory to extend the spread of COVID-19 to a lesser incident rate over a longer duration, thereby lessening the burden on the U.S. healthcare system. Hence, ‘flatten’ the spike in infections.
Put another way: “Flattening” means the same number of people eventually contract the virus, only they do so over a longer period of time, and the healthcare system can treat everyone because the numbers do not rise to level where the system is overloaded. In theory that seems to make sense.
However, no-one is asking: what is the current stress level on the healthcare system right now? Where are we in that capacity?… and what is normal capacity level during a high-level flu outbreak?… and Where are we when compared against that baseline?
♦ Remember in 2009 there were over 61 million cases of H1N1, more than 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 additional deaths specifically attributed to that strain of flu virus in the U.S. [DATA HERE]
The premise to extend the virus duration in an effort to lower the infection rate and spread the virus over a longer period of time needs to measured against: (a) where the healthcare system is at any given moment; and (b) under traditional high-flu seasons where are we during those historic events.
♦ STRESS LEVEL – The healthcare ‘system’ per se, is expending an awful lot of time on mitigation efforts. As Dr. Birx noted: the current negative test rate for coronavirus among those showing symptoms who are tested is 94 to 98 percent. That means of all the people taking coronavirus tests, 94/98 out of 100 are symptomatic (they are sick) but they are not infected with coronavirus. They are normal flu cases.
Our healthcare “system” is expending an incredible amount of resources on a mitigation effort. According to Dr. Birx and the current U.S. test results, 94 to 98 percent of those mitigation efforts are not engaging with coronavirus. They are dealing with regular flu (perhaps a strong flu).
If you extract the mitigation effort from the overall effort, the current stress level on the healthcare system doesn’t seem to be overwhelming. What is stressing the system is a coronavirus mitigation effort with a rate of 94 to 98 percent testing negative.
♦ Dr. Fauci’s theory is self-fulfilling.
If the viral spread never exceeds the capacity of the healthcare system to deal with it, he can claim success. Look, our flattened curve worked.
However, when contrast against flu outbreaks, no-one knows what the COVID-19 capacity threshold is within the healthcare system. There’s no way to disprove Fauci’s theory.
Given the nature of the baseline for overall U.S. sanitation and hygiene, which is significantly higher than Italy, S-Korea and China; and given the higher standards of food safety (U.S. is the world leader); again significantly higher than Italy, S-Korea and China; and given the nature of the U.S. healthcare system (more capacity per person); is it really a fair comparison to overlay a COVID-19 outbreak, without also overlaying a traditional flu outbreak?
♦ Remember in 2009 there were over 61 million cases of H1N1, more than 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 additional deaths specifically attributed to that strain of flu virus in the U.S. [DATA HERE]
We did not shut down the U.S. economy in 2009. Any theory that cannot be scientifically tested; and is simultaneously self-fulfilling; is, by its nature, a false theory.
This is not to say that Dr. Anthony Fauci is intentionally misleading anyone; however, it is absolutely true that no-one will be able to quantify if trillions of dollars of economic wealth lost; and trillions more in economic activity lost; and trillions more in deficit spending; and that might all be done just to follow the fantastical whims of a doctor who is directing the mitigation of an ordinary flu-virus/season, and appears to be quite full of his own sense of self-importance.
You decide….

Yeah, it can’t be because those states have residents that are socially distant from their immediate neighbors already…. and living far apart from each other… No, not that.
According to the Fauci logic every state must be treated under the same directive that applies to a highly dense population like New York City… or something.
Somebody get this guy away from national public policy; he’s destroying the economy, and it looks to me like Dr. Fauci-Mengele is doing it intentionally.

It is the gross overreaction of certain government and business leaders to the Wuhan coronavirus of 2020, otherwise known as COVID-19, that is the danger to the United States, not the virus itself. The abundance of data show that the virus is far less dangerous than the seasonal flu, and if the overreaction is not stopped and reversed immediately, it will severely damage the economy and the lives that depend on it.
Whomever you are, whatever you are doing at this very moment, the Chinese communists and their greedy, supremacist warmongers have ruined your lives. I can speak only for my life however, and here I will.
It used to be that the most unsafe place to be in America, was a mother’s womb. Today, with COVID-19 rolling across the nation, anywhere in America is equally unsafe.
