According to experts, COVID-19 is more infectious than the flu, and has a higher death rate. 36,000 Americans die each year from the complications of the flu, while so far this year the death toll in the U.S. from COVID-19 has surpassed 100,000.
"According to experts"? The expert Fauci said that wearing a mask makes no difference, then later he told people to wear one if it made them feel better. Wearing a mask to stop the virus is like trying to stop mosquitoes with chain link. You people wanted to "follow the science," and we did. The Wuhan virus is just not that deadly. Even when they financially incentivized hospitals to declare all un-tested but "suspected" admissions to be Wuhan, we still got flu-like rates. Drive-by shooting deaths are now being attributed to the virus, but even THAT kind of number inflation can't breathe life into the dead horse of the "Covid pandemic." You Covid science deniers remind me of the climate change people with their "settled science" bullshit. Leftists want social control for some reason, and you'll sacrifice anything, even the truth, to be dominated. I sneeze on your fake science.
Coronavirus Propaganda Mimics War Propaganda
...So we are faced with a blizzard of new “facts” almost every day, most of which turn out to be only mildly true, extremely dubious, or plainly false:
* The virus aerosolizes and floats around, so we all need to be six feet apart (But why not twenty feet? Why not one mile?);
* The virus lives on surfaces everywhere, for days;
* Asymptomatic people can spread it unknowingly;
* Antibodies may or may not develop naturally;
* People may become infected more than once;
* Young healthy people are at great risk not only themselves, but also pose a risk to their elderly family members;
* Thin, permeable paper masks somehow prevent microscopic viral spores from being inhaled or exhaled toward others;
* People are safer inside;
* The rate of new infected “cases” in the first few weeks of the virus reaching America would continue or even grow exponentially;
* Social distancing and quarantines do indeed “save” lives;
* Testing is key (But what if an individual visits a crowded grocery an hour after testing negative?);
* A second wave of infections is nigh; and
* Our personal and work lives cannot continue without a vaccine, which, by the way, may be two years away.
Again, much of this is not true and not even intended to be true—but rather to influence public behavior and opinions. And again, the overwhelming burden of proof should lie squarely with those advocating a lockdown of society, who would risk a modern Great Depression in response to a simple virus....

And of course, we have to wonder why the communist mayors and governors, who a couple of weeks ago were threatening to arrest people for gathering in groups, are now marching with mobs.
