Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

Just bear in mind what your country does with stats doesn’t mean that’s what EVERY country does with stats.

This is actually one of the difficulties in comparing say…violent crime stats across the world. Different things are classified different ways, and of course some countries just say “we don’t have those here”.

But it doesn’t mean every country does it. What’s true for Canada’s policy is not necessarily true for the US or EU.

This was the allegation being made about COVID stats in the US, and like I said I was highly skeptical and never suspected it was happening here as well if anywhere at all. But now it’s right there for the world to see, so unless confirmed otherwise I have to assume that this is how it’s being handled everywhere. The WHO is calling the shots and telling everyone how to manage everything including data, so this is what you get. The fish rots from the head down.

The Islamic State has credible statistics or what?

You may ask why don’t we take the old and sick and secure them like they are the most important people in the world (how many under 55s, without diabetes, lung condition, non smokers, healthy weight have died?)

Then for everyone else have hand sanitizer everywhere, social distancing guides, free masks at the entry of buildings and quarantine for the tested/positive cases overseas arrivals, whatever else?

Because the politicians went full scare mode early on and now spikes will see them thrown out so they only care about managing spikes.

Pretty sure a bunch of counties are counting deaths with corona as a corona death regardless.

Because they deserve the same rights as everyone else, meaning that nobody deserves any rights at all in this new medical tyranny.

That plus the Great Reset, the climate change agenda, and the UN’s plans to reorganize human society as they see fit.

You’re right Chris. We (the whole world) have been doing this the whole time just to fuck with you. :relaxed:

You figured it out though, so take a victory lap. High five bro! :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:

16% of the US population is over 65. A never ending strick lockdown for them?

No they didn’t. If they had, they (US and Europe) would have blocked international flights in January and we wouldn’t be having this conversation. But the wait-and-see approach (as well as actions exclusively used for political messaging such as banning flights only from China) caused all this.

“Panicking” early saves lives and the economy. See Taiwan, Vietnam and NZ.

South Korea’s economy is slated to contract only 1,1% despite the fact that their “zero Covid” strategy was initially hampered by crazy Jesus freaks.

That describes a minority of people.

Isnt that exactly what Birx or someone said the US was doing from the very start - talking 10 months ago. While not debating transmissability, it makes counting fatalities relatively impossible.

So why should the other 84% suffer needlessly?

Especially when you’re dealing with a virus that produces no symptoms in 86% of people. Just imagine the horror, you’re infected with a virus that you will never know you had and will never make you sick at all, totally worth losing you job, business, and home over.

They’re not even trying to, they just want to scare people into accepting tyranny.

Why not simply kill everyone when they reach their 65th birthday then? Saves a lot of money and the chidren get their inheritance much sooner…

You mean, losing your business because your government didn’t panic early enough and thought it would “go away” somehow.

I may have missed that, because I don’t remember that as Chris stated. If you can put up a link I’ll read it.

No, I mean endless restrictions that have made many businesses unprofitable. Look at Sweden, they are open and doing well unlike many other places.

Their GDP dropped as much as that of their Nordic neighbors that had a lockdown.

This is a good point. The economy doesn’t just magically recover when restrictions are lifted. Confidence needs to return before consumer behavior returns to normal. The only way to actually do that is to address the virus.

Yep, many seem to miss that it is extremely unlikely for the economy to return to where it was without Covid being under control.

Fauci pointed this out as an apples to apples comparison, unlike comparing them to the US, which is an apples/oranges comparison due to differences in their social and economic structure.

This requires the recognition of nuance though, which many people like to ignore or are simply unable to do for one reason or another.

Luckily for us, none of these type of people are on this forum. :wink:

The CARES act is also calling the shots. Hospitals make more money for covid deaths than for regular, plain old deaths. They want to get paid.
