Convention center in Cincinnati was loaded with hospital beds and prepped for the massive amounts of Covid-19 patients that were going to need care.

Beds used: Zero

Today they are moving them out.

But panic culture is still winning as most of businesses are still shut down.

So my complex is reopening the community pool today for some stupid fucking reason. Of course I will go nowhere near it but I'm sure it'll be packed.

The problem with Floridians and rules is that the rules will eventually start to get flouted bc almost no one likes to work hard here.



@Bones Nose is the snowbird community you work at reopening their pool?
Go jump in. Make a vegetable soup with them

They've been for a long time. 'Man-made" is the wrong word, "tinkered with and escaped" is better. But that evidence never will be found. The very scientists that scientifically prove there is no proof of such things, are balls deep involved themselves, yes also Dr. Fauci.

That is good news and we succeeded. Just so you can be smug about it. You're welcome.

'That doesn't represent us': Early Cinco de Mayo celebrations attract crowds and car stunts in San Jose

In the South Bay, Cinco de Mayo celebrations have already started. However, actions some are referring to as "bad behavior" have residents in East San Jose worried a beloved tradition will be ruined.


SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- In the South Bay, Cinco de Mayo celebrations have already started. However, actions some are referring to as "bad behavior" have residents in East San Jose worried a beloved tradition will be ruined.

Resident, Carlos Diaz snapped a handful of photos Saturday afternoon, showing hundreds packing a parking lot near Story and King roads on the east side.

"It was like COVID-19 was beaten, and this was the big celebration with people coming onto the streets," Diaz said. "Ridiculous!"

He said there was maybe one mask in sight, and clearly no regard for COVID-19. Those who were running essential errands, were ultimately put in an especially bad place.

I did some reading on the Hong Kong Flu last night. I had honestly never heard of it.

1968 pandemic originating in Asia

100,000 US deaths
Over 1,000,000 dead worldwide

^ This is from 17 years ago. If you didn't make it to the end, the show mentions chloroquine as a the cure.

I'm not being smug.
This whole thing has been a giant overreach.
You were talking "panic culture" you didn't mention over-reach at all. Which I agree with. the methods applied have helped keeping the numbers down drastically, only for some people to say now: "see? no big deal, I told you all along bruh! That's where I say, yeah ok buddy. Take a seat."

Over-reach by government? Absolutely, especially here in Ohio. Dewine is ambitious and used this for political brownie points, for his resume. People may even forget he taxed the fuck out of Ohio. locally in towns here I've seen plenty of power trips as well. Judges and prosecutors with an itch to scratch, treating business owners like common criminals whilst elsewhere they talk of releasing prisoners. From the get-go no clear guidelines that would provide a quick return to work.

This mask bullshit, making people believe they are no good -I know, lots of dummies, but oh well- would have provided a quicker return.

The panic culture allowed for the overreach.

And correlation does not imply causation. There's no telling if the measures put in place to contain the spread helped, hurt or did nothing at all.

We might have been better off to let this thing run it's course to obtain herd immunity. Without a cure - which we likely won't ever get - this thing can pop back up at anytime. What's the call gonna be then? Shut everything down again?

They been experimenting?
they've been doing 'gain of function' research, with funding approved by the benevolent Dr Fauci.
all of the doctors you see that definitely say it could not possibly have come from a lab are the ones who were doing this research.

My understanding is that there's no way this would ever be allowed in a US lab, so they outsourced the work to China - like we outsourced torture to Pakistan.

But I'm hopeful that the people will start asking exactly how this virus came to be if the function that it gained has no genetic traceability.

How exactly did the furin cleavage site, the function that makes this virus so deadly and transmiissive, insert itself?

"And CoV2 is an obvious chimera (though not nesessarily a lab-made one), which is based on the ancestral bat strain RaTG13, in which the receptor binding motif (RBM) in its spike protein is replaced by the RBM from a pangolin strain, and in addition, a small but very special stretch of 4 amino acids is inserted, which creates a furin cleavage site that, as virologists have previously established, significantly expands the “repertoire” of the virus in terms of whose cells it can penetrate. Most likely, it was thanks to this new furin site that the new mutant managed to jump species from its original host to humans."

if you'd rather watch a video, Peak Prosperity did a good one that draws a lot from the article.

we've seen mortality when this thing is just allowed to run wild, I don't doubt that it would have caused at least as much damage as the lockdown.
There's already some indication that the lockdown was mostly self-imposed, the PANIC was just an excuse to make private debts in to public ones.

And I think that an economic collapse caused by a Natural Disaster is a lot harder to recover from than one that's artificially instituted.

Kentucky still shutdown. No masks.
Ohio sort of shutdown. With masks.
Indiana opening their restaurants 5/11.

I live in Ohio.

Work in Kentucky.

And can't wait to get a giant burger and a beer in Indiana on Monday.

There was a movie called Contagion with similar ideas. Of course conspiratards think that having standard control procedures for any infectious disease means that the spread and economically destructive lockdown measures were all planned.

And the government was stupid enough to think that we wouldn't conveniently edit together parts of a 2003 movie that prove this theory. How did this movie even make it to production? The illuminati must have slipped up.

THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT THE AVERAGE CONSPIRATARD WOULD THINK
