Trog … so dumb he defends the indefensible and thinks he is right.
No, you idiot, the data I provided ******* PROVED that every goddamn estimate, projection, screeching alarm was false, at all times, and was blatantly overstated.
Further, very early on highly credible epidemiologists warned that the lockdown simply prolonged the virus, and that herd immunity tends to slow down viruses without a lockdown. The MUCH better approach is to lock down, oh, I don't know, PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE LOCKED DOWN, like those over 65, those with significant pre-existing conditions.
The dire warnings about millions needed hospitalization were bullshit, always were, always will be.
Oh, Ford shut down auto production and made 50,000 ventilators!! Awe-*******-some!!
Except we don't need 50,000 ventilators, do we, and never needed 50,000 ventilators, and Cuomo was blazingly wrong, and Ford is going bankrupt at this rate. But who cares, right?
Seems that you are still earning plenty of grub, Flog. Good for you. Forgive the rest of us not wanting to line up like orphaned urchins, asking for handouts like Oliver Twist.
Every ******* dire, panicked, overwrought warning was wrong. Every. Goddamn. One. Seems like a significant percentage of the population had the virus and the Chinese flu killed at a higher rate than the regular flu, but nowhere NEAR the dire predictions that brought about the lockdown.
And as expected, the doomsayers who wreak havoc with their dire predictions and oversee rampant destruction of businesses and jobs and careers and live savings with prognostications as wrong as 9th century astronomers never apologize, or suggest that perhaps they were ****** in the head for making such dire predictions. Nope, never. Instead, "Oh, thank God we projected 58 bazillion dead and brought the country to its knees, as otherwise think how bad it would have been!!"
More make-believe to defend their disproved and false earlier make-believe. But hey, they're getting paid so it's all good.
You idiot, why are you unable to process more than one thought per eon? As Ben Shapiro likes to say, "Two things can be true at the same time." The actual data now show those two things are:
- More would have perished without the lockdown, very likely tens of thousands more, but nowhere NEAR the hundreds of thousands projected. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. The projections were so wrong as to be ludicrous.
- Second, the lockdown has killed and will kill tens of thousands due to drug overdose, alcohol abuse, depression, poverty and suicide. More than the additional deaths possibly due to a much, much more restricted and intelligent lockdown - like Sweden.
Funny how I brought up Sweden and its much more measured response and the outcome and you pretend like that nation does not exist. Sweden shows the panic-button crowd was wrong? Pfffft, ignore Sweden.
