I’m a pandemic skeptic. I know the Wuhan virus is real and very dangerous for some people. Still, I cannot get excited about a disease with an average 99% survival rate. I believe the Democrats weaponized the virus to defeat President Trump, and I think that Democrats are still working the virus to weaken working- and middle-class Americans (i.e., Trump supporters) while enriching the Democrats' corporate cronies. I’m cynical, paranoid, or a realist – or all three. This weekend, information emerged supporting my viewpoint.
We keep being told that Americans are dying like flies, far in excess of their normal numbers. I accept that there are excess deaths.

Shame on you, Andrea. You should not be relying on facts. You should not be relying on science. You should rely on data.
The important thing is the NARRATIVE. Support Joe Biden or Die!
Remember: Socialism is the wave of the future. The Dictatorship of the Proletariat is at hand, with the advent of the Chief Prole, Broken Foot. He will open the borders. He will kill all the babies. He will make peace with China, NK, and Russia. He will declare war on England France, Germany, and Australia. The lovable old coot will emerge, like Punxatawny Phil, once a month or so to mumble something which we cannot understand. They he will go back underground. He will not see his shadow, as his mask will be over his eyes.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.

The fatal flaw of conservatives is they keep looking for LOGIC and assume everyone else is acting RATIONALLY! Leftists are not “playing us.” These poor people actually BELIEVE what they’re doing. As Michael Savage has tried to tell us for decades— they are truly MENTALLY ILL!

We are being played. There are no longer any common colds, or flu. And by the way, before the virus, most older people formerly died of pneumonia, which seems to have disappeared, not a case occurring anywhere, no longer mentioned, not even here, all forgotten. Also amazing that everybody thinks you are making them sick. Really? It couldn't be their life choices, diets, no exercise, old age, heredity, or bad luck?

Being Played? YES! Keep in mind the tens of thousands of people who have died over the past several decades because they were denied potentially life-saving drugs because they were NOT FDA approved and YET the vaccinations for a virus we still do not fully understand have been approved in less than a year. A man who has made billions via a monopoly and questionable business practices is now an expert on Vaccines that we should all bow down to along with an administrator with a medical degree who has invested heavily in multiple vaccines. YES, we are undoubtedly being played by egotistical psychopaths..

Good piece, Andrea. But, you just now figured this out? Most of here came to these conclusions eight or nine months ago.

Right now in my bluest of blue states all deaths are from the virus. A bicyclist hit by a car is a death from the virus, a terminal cancer patient dies but it's from the virus it goes on and on. Grocery stores count people entering for social distancing it's a hoax playing out. Cold and flu season is all but forgotten as long as we keep wearing those ridiculous face diapers which do nothing and prevent nothing except identifies you as a 'person who cares'.
Yes were be played by many mini-tyrants like our governess.

Looks like a lot of taxpaying businesses are going to close for good. That means that they will not be paying taxes to city, state, and Federal governments. In the end, the only businesses that will be paying taxes (at an ever-increasing rate) will be these same ones who are presently licking their chops at the elimination of competition. One of the standards of Socialism is to "spread it around equally" so that everyone (except the government elites, of course) gets pushed down to near poverty, i.e. like Venezuela.
Are these elites THAT freakin' stupid that they think they'll be exempt from the tentacles of the money-hungry masters? I'd think that Microsoft, Google, Facebook. Twitter, et al would be ripe for the pickin' when the shirt hits the fan .. which, at some point, it no doubt will.

How come NO ONE in the dishonest media ever asks the petty govt dictators this OBVIOUS Question:
"We 've been using YOUR protocols of massive shutdowns, useless masks, inane social distancing, etc for going on TEN months !!....and by YOUR own numbers now... the "virus" is escalating...??...so WHY should we continue YOUR program of failure ???

I've been asking around, and I only know three people who've had COVID (two mild cases, and one case in February that lasted a few weeks), and most of my friends either don't know anyone who's had it, or only know one or two. I live in a state in lockdown, supposedly, we have crisis levels of cases. Where are they?????

The Democrats did not weaponize this Virus , It was created and weaponized in China . The same Laboratory that Obama sent money to. The Democrats did not weaponize it but they worked in concert with the Chinese to get it done and use it to beat Trump.
While accusing the republicans of working with Russia, they were working with China and they are guilty of every Covid death in this country, that is what leaders of the party did and what the flunkies in the party voted for, whether they knew of it or not.

#10 - I recently asked a number of people the same question and nobody came up with more than 3 people who've been covid positive. I personally know a married couple who were ill in the spring. That's it! My husband insists on watching David "we're all gonna die!!!" Muir every evening and it is like an alternate reality.

Those numbers are important. It doesn't appear that there is a significant number of excess deaths. It's a nasty bug but and there will be some extra deaths particularly in NY where Cuomo managed to infect the nursing homes but overall not horrendous. This is hardly the Black Plague and the lockdowns are going to cause irreparable damage to millions of working people. This will end, we have a vaccine and the economy will recover and the media will credit Biden for the "miracle".

I’ve been saying this since June, but you can’t convince the scaredy-cats. Ive Always considered the bottom line, the number of deaths. So, I’ve gone everywhere I’ve wanted to go and done everything I’ve wanted to do. A finger salute to my stupid governor.
