Lots of people dying out there.. lots of people would have died without this lock down.

I bet more people have died from cancer, ODs, heart disease, suicides... the list goes on; than this scary virus in the past month.

We have a clown for a president who won't give supplies to certain states because they aren't "appreciative?"
Is this sh!t for real?

I'm pissed because I have many miles of empty beach break without a soul around, and I have to follow orders from idiots.

Why hasn't anyone compared this with Swine Flu? That was a similar CV situation, 150k Americans died (I think). NO lockdown, no crash

It’s been compared repeatedly. Nobody cares. We’re all too busy giving up our liberties for a false sense of security.

Appropos to that, what proof do we have that the lockdown helped versus other, less draconian measures. Despite its proximity to China, Japan was not on lockdown until a day or two ago. People have been going to work. The Japanese haven't tested much for Coronavirus but, reportedly, have tried to isolate cases just as we did. There are not millions of bodies piling up in the morgue. NYC has been on lockdown yet has the most confirmed cases. Is this a result of more testing or is COVID worse there? Meanwhile, LA County is doing ok while on lockdown. How about the rest of the world not on lockdown where government has little control? Are there millions of dead bodies, or is life going on? The Harvard/Imperial College Doomsayer camp has made little effort to establish a control group to justify their claims. In fact, they appear to be doubling-down. Anything is better than admitting you're wrong I guess.

Fortunately, the Stanford camp cares more about the reputation of science.

Latitude of locations seems to have an effect on the numbers.

Apparently the people who have nothing going on (ie. living in their parents' basement) seem to be the most vocal about this pandemic and its effects on the American daily life

If you have truth on your side, thenwhy do you need to turn to insults?
Surely you have logical points to make that arent reactionary and emotional in nature....
Why are you resorting to silly name calling crap that the CIA pushes like tin foil, conspiracy theorist, mommies basement...
Its intellectually lazy, a d designed to shut down conversation...

Enjoy your life!
