This manufactured crisis has really exposed a lot of people. A lot of people who talk big on freedoms, government's long history of mismanagement, lies and power grabs, and yet all it takes is a tiny proportion of fat degenerate people to die and they're running around in a panic begging for a police state. Pathetic.

Hey as long as the President is Republican then losing all my rivhts and ushering in the NWO is winning!

Actually the government model doesn't justify this. They are estimating 200,000 dead. That's a 7% increase in mortality, and a death or 0.1% of the population.
You don't shutdown your entire economy over a 7% increase in mortality.

catch the virus and check how cowardly it makes you feel.
it's a roulette, maybe you'll just have a cough. maybe a fever.
maybe you'll have no symptoms at all.
or maybe your lungs take a swim and your heart takes a shit.
can't hurt to try, eh brave soldier?

Going to go against the trend...we're at almost 50k deaths globally and it'll hit 100k in 10 days. Is that just a model?

Globally, as of midnight UTC 4-2-20, we're sitting at 47,192 from Wu-Flu since the beginning. We'll call it mid-November for argument's sake. 138 days.
The number of deaths from Wu-Flu come to 0.2% of all daily deaths worldwide.
Oh, but it will be 100k in 10 more days?
So even if we reach 100,000 deaths in the next 10 days, that's still 0.41% of all daily deaths worldwide. Out of literally all the things that could kill a human in any given day (and they're nearly impossible to count), one out of every 243 deaths will be due to Wu-Flu.

Right...Not saying it's end of the world. But it's still spreading exponentially. It might hit a few million worldwide. We can't ignore that. We shouldn't be okay with a power grab. But simple things like staying at home, washing hands, etc. is worth it.
