SoCal Deek Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 The ‘pandemic’ goes on. (In parenthesis because I believe someone shared that the current case and death rates are below the actual definition of the term.) And now, in an election year, the opposition party wants to use the demise of their fellow citizens as a springboard towards power. Nice! The problem is Biden has no plans to do anything different come January....but that gets lost in the details. 1

I feel this libertarian mindset is so far removed from the fat lazy American approach to life that it is immediately dismissed by the masses. What this virus should teach us is this: we collectively need to take personal control of our lives. Be it personal health, economic standing, and personal freedoms. Sweden gets this for the most part. They do love their gov't run health care, but they do have a quantum leap difference in general health. That makes it easier on the gov't, for sure. Be lazy, pay the price. The virus will eventually find you. 1

The article from the mises.org has an obvious libertarian slant to it. That's why I mentioned it. To your point, there is no single philosophy that rules the day. A libertarian society would look like the wild west in short order. My point is a little more self reliance wouldn't hurt. Blending that into our current governmental approach would only help.

Big Blitz Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 "Now some researchers are wrestling with a hopeful possibility. In interviews with The New York Times, more than a dozen scientists said that the threshold is likely to be much lower: just 50 percent, perhaps even less. If that’s true, then it may be possible to turn back the coronavirus more quickly than once thought." 3

Still, I expect SoTier's latest post showing the national count going up. As if, in an epidemic, when you add the next day's total to the whole, it isn't higher. Of course it is higher, that is how it works ! Now have the balls to show how the infection rate and deaths are steadily decreasing.

Big Blitz Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 My other personal favorite highlights of this sham that contributed to the hysteria... 1. That viral video from China of a guy passed out on public steps somewhere allegedly "dying" in the streets 2. Covid toes 3. Kawasaki disease 4. CBS using footage of an Italian hospital and calling it a NYC one 5. That Instagram post from the crisis actress pretending to be a nurse in NYC in the middle of a "surge." 6. The missing cell phones in China 7. The body bag purchases in Taiwan Feel free to add your own....this was another: 1
