CORONA VIRUS - WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON, THE LEFT IS UNDERMINING SOCIETY - AGAIN

[Willy]

What is really going on. States are putting their citizens on lock-down but in my opinion it's really martial law. You can argue whether martial law has been implemented
in Michigan and other states or not but when the Governor forces people not leave their homes and Attorney General wants your neighbors to turn you in if you
do not comply then we have an unprecedented case of eliminating civil liberties, Freedoms and the violating the Constitution. There are very few deaths from the Corona virus compared
to other ongoing inflections that are circulating in the U.S. as we speak. For instance the overall burden of influenza for the 2017-2018 season was an estimated 45 million influenza illnesses,
21 million influenza-associated medical visits, 810,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 61,000 influenza-associated deaths. In a Country of 350,000,000 million people, any loss of life
is sad but when our Country is shut down over 85,000 cases and 1000 deaths from 2019 Corona virus but not from 61,000 flu deaths in the 2017-18 season, one has to ask what is really going
on. The mass hysteria and panic is being fed by leftists and media and people are more than willing to give them up their rights.
To many people have died, been maimed and injured trying to protect the Constitution and our liberties and freedoms. People have to start questioning what the politicians and media are doing
and saying. Almost all of the "martial law "states are run by Democrats. The Corona virus is another reason for the left to squash freedom and the Constitution. Where will this end. Is this a
trial balloon that is being used to apply these harsh anti freedom measures on the citizens going to be used every time a virus outbreak is discovered or "created".
The 2017-18 flu season with its 41,000,000 illnesses and 61,000 deaths saw no canceled NCAA basketball, NBA basketball, Pro Hockey, Soccer, etc.
The economy may permanently suffer catastrophic consequences. And for what.

Thank you Willy, agree 100%, and this is exactly what I have been saying and feeling the last 4-6 weeks too now. Panic and hysteria are the two key words/factors that apply. Over-reaction is common now, esp. with the lefts and the media. Meanwhile, many govs. are also inflicting not just martial law, but cancelling 1st and 2nd rights statewide, without hardly any opposition, sad, and shocking.

[Freedom Seeker]

Good points, Willy, but the liberal dems will never understand rationality because not only do they want control over anything they can control (martial law), but these forced great portions of their liberal agendas into the 1400-page $2 trillion dollar economic stimulus. Trump said on Hannity that the republicans had to give into a lot of democratic pet peeve agenda unrelated to cornonavirus in order to get a bill passed without dragging out for a long time.
I think the dems are just waiting for Trump to mess up on their political agenda to discount him for fall election but Trump only rises to greater presidential abilities through this crisis, in spite of all the lamestream media.

Probably everyone's heard this, but it may have been an "employee" (teacher?) in Pentwater who potentially spread Covid-19 to two classes of students on March 13. Meanwhile kids run around town free to spread to everyone else? Whitmer said today possibly no school for the rest of the year year. What needs to be set as policy, imo, is that high-risk people should stay home in their homes or treatment facilities, and front-line aide provided to them, with utmost care of workers not contaminating them, and let the rest of the country resume work and business and education. Meanwhile there are a lot of gangs of kids running around, riding bikes in the middle of streets locally--defying getting caught? Like the drunk spring breaker on Clearwater Beach who said he'd party until he got Corona virus. I guess he got the virus and offered an apology for stupidly drunken defiance.

[Freedom Seeker]

What a sad stroke of regrettably bad luck for the schools to be closed three days after (March 16) the "employee" went to school sick for two days March 12 and 13.  That's why sick people should stay home and let the healthy people continue life.  But unfortunately even a school employee who has sick leave didn't stay home while sick.

  Very sad when Trump had restricted international travel weeks before and it was well known by March 12 that corona virus had been a problem.

[Du Wright]

Whitmer just replied on PBS that she closed schools on March 23.  That's ten days after the employee went to school sick.

[AQUAMAN]

A much more accurate name for this Mich. Gov. right now is "Whitless" imho. Hasn't the foggiest idea at all, and shows it more everyday.

[Freedom Seeker]

Whitless looks like a schoolgirl with that little-girl hairstyle, and smiles too fake at inappropriate times. Imo.
She's too much a spoiled "valley girl" like always had things handed to her on a silver platter and never like knew any adversity.

From Representative Beau Matthew LaFave:

I understand from experience in recent weeks that all our state elected officials are under immense pressure.
But more importantly, so are millions of Michigan families, including here in Dickinson, Delta, and Menominee counties, who are facing the imminent threat of severe medical and/or economic harm.
It's on their behalf that I ask this question: How many strikes will the people of Michigan allow?
1. Wednesday, after weeks of TV appearances in which Gov. Whitmer accused the White House of failing to deliver disaster relief to the people of Michigan, I learned from FEMA that Gov. Whitmer had failed to file the formal request required by federal law to receive disaster relief. How is that possible?
Detroit Free Press: https://www.freep.com/…/fema-michigan-disaster-…/2915443001/
(Thankfully, under pressure from the media and Republican lawmakers, Gov. Whitmer finally did so Thursday.)
2. Thursday, I learned that while the nation's highest profile Democratic chief executive -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y. -- is providing coronavirus victims in his state all available treatments, including 70,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine, Gov. Whitmer is threatening the licenses of Doctors who prescribe that same drug to virus victims here in Michigan.
From the Detroit News (click to read full story below):
"Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs literally threatened all doctors and pharmacists in the state who prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. ...Not only is our state’s top leader threatening the selfless health care workers who are on the front line trying to save lives, but she’s denying possible life-saving medications to actual COVID-19 victims."
https://www.detroitnews.com/…/opinion-michigan…/2922272001/…
How is that possible after Michigan in 2014 enacted a "Right to Try" law giving potentially terminally ill patients the right to try whatever drugs they believe might alleviate their suffering?
Michigan Public Radio: https://www.michiganradio.org/…/michigan-will-give-terminal…
3. Friday, online state records indicate Gov. Whitmer still has not signed into law House Bill 4729, the $125 million emergency coronavirus funding that lawmakers approved and presented to her on March 19th, over a week ago.
The entire emergency appropriation is limited by law to spending only for the "coronavirus public health emergency, health care capacity, and coronavirus response fund," including money to be given directly to hospitals. With hospitals and other critical healthcare providers screaming for assistance, I want to know why the week-long delay, and counting?
As Tigers fans know, three strikes and...
But analogies aside, even as I ask us all to pray for President Trump, Gov. Whitmer, and all our fellow citizens in these stressful times, I firmly believe these serious questions require public answers and accountability.

Good find shinblind. We can't expect help from Democrats. This is to good of a bad situation for them to pass up by making the situation better. That's what the Democrat Party is all about. Making left turns off a road that leads to economic and social ruin. Then blame everybody else.

[Willy]

Whitmer is one of these air head Democrat Governors who are trying to cause political damage to Trump and the rest of the Country. Every time she has spoken she slams Trump in her speech in order to draw attention to herself and her political ambitions. She is trying to impress the Democrat big wigs because she wants to be involved with the National political scene.  America has a much more destructive disease that has been spreading for years. That would be the Democrat Party and their Communists agenda. In the past the Democrats  were trying to hide their true intentions until Trump came along and called them out. Instead of concentrating her efforts on the fake crisis she has used the pulpit to put herself on a pedestal. Mark Twain had her figured out 150 years ago. Here is that fool Whitmer talking down the economy and revealing how absolutely stupid she is about ecoonomics. She actually is giving Obama credit for any gains made in America's economy. She is a typical Progressive trying to blame Capitalism but she still hasn't fixed a single pothole as she promised. This woman is an idiot. I don't blame people for not watching this lengthy drivel but it shows just how ignorant she is.

   I would like to know if there are any stats on the flue? Is anyone getting or got the normal flue this season or is the flue season over? Thousands of people each year die from the flue., Has the washing of the hands prevented the normal flue outbreak?   It seems to me that there are a lot of people tested positive for the coronavirus that have the basic flue symptoms , fever ,cough, and feeling crappy and others that are hit hard and some regrettably pass away. But the normal flue has the same pattern.   I don't want to get sick at all but shutting down the world is just crazy.  

[Willy]

I posted the chart below somewhere else on this forum, I just can't remember where. Most folks don't realize that the minor amount of Corona virus is spreading without any kind of vaccine protection. But even with the vaccination of millions and millions of people against the flu there is still a huge amount of sickness and death which is being ignored by the Democrat Governors like Gretchin and the leftists media. . So Even with the vaccine the flu has caused much more sickness and death. When comparing the 2 diseases you have to wonder, Just how  bad is the Corona virus.

So, remember this is the flu numbers from the CDC after millions upon millions of people were vaccinated. This happens every year but we have learned to adapt and live with it. I'm much more concerned about the flu than the Corona virus.

CDC flu numbers for the 2019-20 U.S.flu season so far.
