First day back to school in Indiana

[Ashna-scarlet-crusade]

We may now.

[Cokzero-proudmoore]

A few YEARS? Yeah that will be really healthy for those kids emotional and mental health.

[Zeusgodofsky-thrall (Zeusgodofsky)]

it’s a small school anyways most of my kids friends are from malls and cousins lol!

[Elisiana-emerald-dream]

I completely agree with you. I think the suggestion that there is only ever one political party in the US taking advantage of current events during any time period is willfully ignorant.

[Poximusprime-bleeding-hollow]

We shouldn’t shut down society for less than a 1% mortality rate virus. I wonder if this covid nonsense will end after the elections this year?

“So much misinformation going around!”

proceeds to spout a paragraph of misinformation

[Frostera-stormreaver]

You be careful mon, I got forum banned for saying exactly that.

[Poximusprime-bleeding-hollow]

This thread shouldn’t exist in the first place. Yet here it is. Sunday edition.

[Ashna-scarlet-crusade]

These same parents don’t even think twice about taking their kids to the grocery store and Walmart along with lots of other places. But schools are a nono. So sad for the kids.

@Tewa-hyjal

are why the U.S. is ground zero of the pandemic.

I wish I could tell you so many things.

[Poximusprime-bleeding-hollow]

We test the most. Duh!

Do we shut down everything?

Yes actually we do, if like other places we had shut down 90% of the economy we’d be in a better spot, fact is American politics got in the way and only 50% of the economy was shut down. This comes from Dr Fauci, not me.

Initially the WH Covid response team had a plan to combat the virus, however as it looked like only Democratic states were suffering the plan was scrapped.

There is a strategic communications firm out there, much like you may have heard of the McKinsey & Company. This group is called Kekst. And they’re not widely known, but they’re big. They are hired by Fortune 500 companies do all kinds of PR, strategic communications, market research, audience research if there’s an audience involved. And their work is largely never made public. It’s inside baseball kind of stuff for the people that hire them.

Now, I, happen to know many people who use the work produced by this firm, Kekst, K-e-k-s-t is how they’re spelled. And he sent me the latest work product. And it’s a gigantic PDF file chronicling their research on COVID-19, not just in the United States, but around the world. And going through it the relevant page or slide — because what it actually is is a slide presentation much like a keynote presentation or whatever the equivalent is with Microsoft — the relevant slide is found on page 24 of this document.

And it is essentially this. The average American believes that 9% of the U.S. population have already died from COVID-19. Nine percent of the U.S. population is 30 million people. So the average American thinks that 9% of the population’s already died, 30 million people are dead. Now, why would they think such a thing? Sadly, it is a testament to the Main Stream Media.

The Main Stream Media has been reporting case numbers. The attempt here is to convince people that case numbers equal death numbers. The way the media has reported this is, if you get it, you die. They haven’t come out and specifically said this. They don’t have to. They can use the power of suggestion and false reporting in a number of ways. And it’s been successful.
Best I can do. But I can only assume the full report will be made available now that is has been leaked.

[Celindas-turalyon (Celindas)]

The same Dr. Fauci who has changed his mind like a million times and think that 10,000 protesters could not possibly spread covid? Laughable.

They’ve been using phone GPS to track movements during this whole thing.

During the height of the U.S. “lockdown” (which really wasn’t), 50% of Americans were leaving their home on a daily basis.

In Italy? That number was just 15%.

We never had a proper lockdown to contain the virus. Countries that are doing well did this sequence:

1. Contain the virus first.
2. Reopen second. Including reopening schools.

We tried to do it in reverse order. And look where it got us.

[Frostera-stormreaver]

Here we go. I expect mass flagging and forum bans being given out to the problematic opinions within the next few hours.

I knew this was going to be the part they focused on and gave you flak for. You might as well have not said anything else lol

[Irakes-dalaran]

What did Canada do that was any more extreme than the US? You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about or you’re just willingly spreading lies.

It’s not that arcane.

I said I wanted to see the survey - as in the questions they asked, the wording, the participants, etc. Not the results. Anyone can go on forums and tout whatever statistics they want as though they’re truth.
