Is The Pandemic Over?

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 3/16/2021 6:51:17 AM

After a year now of dealing with the SARS-COV-2 virus, we have learned a great deal about the pandemic. The elusive goal has been to acquire herd immunity and have life go back to normal. However, our mainstream media and some governmental health authorities have ignored parts of the scientific picture that could help us understand herd immunity. They have placed excessive importance on vaccination as the only way to herd immunity. This is not entirely true. There is scientific data showing that we may be closer to herd immunity and the end of the pandemic than the media and government let on.

This might be cynical but I believe the progressives are dismayed that a vaccine was available so quickly. They would like nothing more than to be able to keep their foot on our necks far into the future. Why else would they continue to move the goalposts with every bit of good news. They still want fully vaccinated people to wear a mask, distance, be forever scared of each other. Didn't harris declare that she would not take the Trump vaccine? They have always wanted to "take care of us" from birth (unless you are aborted) to death under their rules of living. Just wondering if the biden droolers are happy with the results of this highly progressive administration? Gas up almost $1 a gallon which means everything will be going up. More taxes, more regulations, more illegals, more control, fewer freedoms. There is a lot of crap coming down the track with these bozos. Be afraid America, be very afraid. As far as the dems are concerned this pandemic will never be over as long as they control speech and the written word. Pushback will be necessary from the sane.

The pandemic never was. What we had and it still continues, is the pandemic of fear and propaganda. The tyrannical governors and bureaucrats were amazed how the populace could be cowered into compliance so easily and quickly with unconstitutional mandates. Thus the masks, lockdowns, stand at two paces, etc. continues in many places. Just like the January 6th "insurrection."

It will never be over because it was never here. It was just another flu season that was show boated by the Communists that made you believe it was a virus that was much more terrible than it was, to take control over your lives, and most of the sheeple have conformed to their wishes. Don't believe it, look at the number of people still wearing useless masks and running to get vaccinations that have been or will be rushed and pushed on us as mandatory. BBaaaaaaahhhh

#2 is correct. Leftist government has behaved like the death rate from this flu is twenty percent of the population. Except for small pockets of exceptionally stupid rules and lockdowns like we saw in New York, the damage has affected less than .1 percent of the population. Burn the masks!

This pandemic was as serious as the 'swine flu' during the Obama regime. Obama made a statement written for him from the White House then he went golfing. This so called pandemic served it's purpose to steal an election to dispose of Donald Trump. The left would like this to last forever but it won't. The next disease 'du jour' will fail because of this one like the news media people believe it's all fake. That what American working people do. Have a happy day working without masks.

The black death wiped out 25% of Europe's population in the fourteenth century. COVID (death rate) is running at 0.15% ! The inescapable conclusion is that the authorities' behavior is politically motivated. Someone please tell them that Donald trump now lives in Mar a Lago not the White House.

According to the CDC there are 7 states where over half the population has had the Virus. They had the disease and most people did not realize it. Once the at risk population is vaccinated, it's over.

I think that this is "out with a wimper" and it is pretty much over. Deaths are way, way down. Few are getting it. It's pretty much over.

A year after “15 days to flatten the curve” began our lockdowns, we have enough data to answer the classic question about lockdowns (which still exist a year later in many places, including much of California): cui bono? (who benefits?) The answer is: as an individual, Jeff Bezos. His stock in Amazon, the single biggest beneficiary øf lockdowns, is worth billions of dollars more than before the lockdown. As a group: educated professionals, able to work from home via Zoom and other internet-based services and able to afford home delivery.
Mitch McConnell’s Grand Guignol performance

The Grand Guignol was a theater in Paris in the first half of the 20th-century that specialized in amoral horror entertainment. On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) gave his own version of Grand Guignol when he rained fire and brimstone on the Senate, detailing the horrors Democrats would suffer if they were to do away with the 215-year-old filibuster. He knew, of course, that his speech was meaningless because he already gave the filibuster away in January. Once it’s gone, Republicans will never again have the power to take revenge on the Democrats.

The “attack” on the Capitol started well before then President Trump finished his speech at the rally at The Ellipse. This attack was no spontaneous event as alleged by Democrats, the Media, and the Radical Left. It is evident to any police officer who has been on a police line this attack was preplanned when coupled with the intelligence compiled by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and other agencies. From the videos, this is self-evident, e.g., coordination, tactics in engaging the police lines, hand signals, gas masks, bear spray, goggles, helmets, knee pads, improvised weapons, and milk to neutralize crowd control gasses.

The answer to that question may be in his absurd speech on Thursday when he said “we may have to reinstate the lockdown restrictions” if… If what? What if the migrants the Biden Administration is allowing to come across the southern border without being tested, even if showing symptoms, then given bus tickets to any American city they hope to reach, is a grand plan to spread this flu throughout the country again in order to reinstate all the unconstitutional restrictions to which millions of Americans willingly submitted?

I’ve learned that, if I apply my natural cynicism and pessimism to anything that originated with leftists, I will almost invariably correctly predict the future. Nevertheless, there’s a small part of me that always hopes that things will get better. Perhaps that’s why I’m reading a lot into three reports on Friday about people pushing back on cancel culture. The first story involves Piers Morgan, the British commentator. (snip) While 41,000 may have whined about Morgan, over 220,000 people had petitioned for Morgan to be returned to Good Morning Britain. Those numbers are an excellent and much-needed reminder that cancel culture is driven by a vocal minority.

Sir Alexander Tytler was a Scottish advocate, judge, writer, and historian. Lord Tytler lived from 1747 until 1813; about the time of Washington, Adams, and Jefferson in America. Tytler was a professor at the University of Edinburgh. One of Tytler's most influential and proverbial historical writings was about the lifespan of countries operating under democratic republican governance. Tytler believed the life expectancy of a self-ruled nation was about 200 years. Tytler was very dismissive about who holds the real power in a democratic republic or even a pure democracy. He felt these types of government do not last, cannot sustain themselves, and eventually crumble
