One day you will be proud to say I dissented from the hysteria surrounding so called bat flu in 2020. This is one of the great scandals in world history in terms of the reaction to this
Vaccine required for fans

Flu deaths are estimated and obviously COVID only caused deaths are being inflated to a degree. Where there is smoke there is fire...Colorado counting a .55 BAC as a COVID death is an example.
Adding to this there are countless examples of the antibody testing showing significantly higher figures of having been infected by COVID. Santa Clara County did a study where estimates of 50X-85X more people had COVID than being reported. What does that mean? That means the 2,403 reported cases by SCC is really on the low side 100K cases and the death rate (135 deaths in SCC as of today) isn't .05% but rather .001% and that is on the low end.
If you extrapolate this study across the USA we are current at 1.47MM cases and 88,237 deaths. 50X cases due to antibodies would be 73.5MM cases and a death rate of .001% rather than .06%.
If it is as contagious as thought to be it stands to reason that way more people have been infected with the virus in a country of 330MM than .004% of the population as currently estimated.
The reopening of the economy would and could be easier if not for the 'I ain't wearing no GD mask' crowd. Even the simplest of precaution is too much for some people. There's a segment of our society that pushes a theory this pandemic isn't real and it's all about control.
I mean those two things aren't mutually exclusive it can be a real virus and be all about control for the most part which it is. My gut feeling has always been it's also an extortion scheme to bail out states and cities that are broke and it has no basis in any kind of health or science. Only socialism and totalitarian rule. The lockdown was done on purpose with almost nothing but malicious intentions and it's gonna be exposed. It already has been
Don't think they ever attributed flu deaths to the flu if something else was the real cause. With Covid we are getting deaths by Covid even if people are dying already of other causes. Inflated numbers for some reason.
Maybe...but aliens were the cause of all the economic, school and church closures during the 1918 flu pandemic.
My guess is that it is either the Masons, Bigfoot or Oprah Winfrey at the root of this pandemic. I will keep using the Google and driving my Mystery Machine around till I finally get to pull the mask off of Mr. Fauci.
By all means don’t address his comment.
Hello Mr. Schoettle,
Enjoy your pardon from Bevin and don't forget to stay away from playgrounds and schools.
88237/1.47MM = 0.06 or 6%
88237/73.5MM = 0.001 or 0.1%
Multiply the fraction by 100 to convert to a percentage.
I did yesterday, they brought a lot of rain and ruined my fishing trip. Gonna try again today.
Getting #9 will go a long way toward
eradicating the virus from the Commonwealth

The flu is taken seriously, thus the advisement each year that people get their flu shots.
And it didn't kill 80K with everyone social distancing.
So for weeks the experts were telling us not to wear a mask, but now it's the people who aren't wearing ones fault the economy isn't reopening. Wow.
This is new virus. Researchers are learning more everyday about every aspect of it. Asymptomatic carriers not wearing a mask could play a big role in spikes.
Michigan only ranks 13th in cases per capita, the last state above the national average, Illinois is 9th. Iowa and South Dakota are within less than 100 of the national average of cases per capita.
Even if you go with total cases, California and Pennsylvania have more cases than Michigan.
For total deaths, Pennsylvania has more than Illinois. For deaths per capita, Michigan is 7th and and Illinois is 10th.
Yeah and that 80K was with the vast majority of human beings acting like everything is normal. Maybe some were washing hands more during flu season, but doubtful many were. No one was practicing social distancing. The overwhelming majority of people weren’t wearing masks when they went out in public. The # of deaths from coronavirus would be far higher if we collectively acted like it was just the flu and carried on business as usual.
I feel like this response is typical. I am not arguing about Corona. I am arguing people downplay the flu.
The response is always typical of this but 50% of US population gets the flu vaccine. It is a vaccine that 165mm people in US get and still 80k die. This will likely be the result with COVID barring some sort of miracle vaccine.
This isn't rocket science.
Social distancing is the answer being recommended but yet we're told a sneeze travels 100mph and 100k droplets of germs into the air. 6 feet protecting that...ok. No straight answers on masks. Plenty of doctors saying this can spread the disease in the beginning by constantly touching face...now you have to wear a mask?
We are not practicing social distancing, we are practicing being hermits.
This all feels too much like the movie Final Destination for me. Running from death...it is absurd. Practice good hygiene, practice social distancing, wear a mask if you want, be congnisant- understand risk factors and use good judgement....let's move on already.

People who are vaccinated should be given a mark and only those people with the mark should be able to buy and sell goods.
Except that:
1. It didn't kill 80k. Well documented that this number is overstated, for many reasons.
2. It has been here much longer than 3 months. Again, pretty well documented.
