    It’s my belief that when staring down 2,500,000 Projected US deaths within 30-60 days and All age groups will see Death. swift action needed to be taken.

    But, actual data rendered the projection models to be totally worthless, (2,500,000 —-> 50,000 with 50% north of age 70). 90% of ALL deaths involve pre-existing medical conditions.

    We learned excess hospital, ICU beds, equipment and staff capacity, successful drug therapy was the Nationwide reality.

    Now, suddenly and without explanation, Democrats want to ditch Science to push Politics and Control over the populace.

    Meanwhile #coronabros cheer their capture and surrender from Moms basement.

    So much this.

    Yep.

    It was the right thing to do when we didn't know. Now that we're fine and it's not a big deal they literally want to destroy America and ruin people's lives to spite Trump. It's fucking sad. And the worst part is its pointless....because Biden ain't winning

    A lot of those public policy paradoxes around. This is not unique in that regard.

    Well, apparently the public policy paradox doesn't work for leftards focused on the Russia, Russia Trump hoax. They still uniformly believe they were right. The models were always obviously wrong for the vast majority of the US. We had clear evidence that the Wuhan flu was a clear killer for the elderly, especially with pre-existing conditions. There was no "science" that supported locking down rural America. If was just virtue signaling and the prevailing leftard feeling that if everyone is miserable then no one is miserable. Take care of grandpa and grandma and those with compromised immune systems. Destroying the economy in the hope that the sheeple will then elect dems to save them is not what made America great. Wait until our state and local government leaders realize how much tax revenue is going to be lost.

    I cannot wait for the Inslee press conference announcing thousands of State government employees furloughed.

    That will be solved with new taxes and earners will be asked(told) to “do their part” so everyone who wants to continue to hide under their beds can feel safe.

    We shut down too late and incompletely to claim victory by the hide under the bed crowd. Too many places didn't shut down.

    The math was wrong and running a country on bad math is no way to go through life son

    I am certain our basement dwelling contingent of meat loaf munchers would never have known a problem existed if not for the internet.
