Journalists are a gullible bunch on COVID-19

We are told by the press that COVID-19 has been around for months and President Trump reacted slowly to address the virus, causing deaths.

We are told that a large number of people have the virus of whom we don't know, including people without symptoms, and that a large number of people who never were diagnosed with the disease and never had symptoms now might be immune to the disease.

We are told that in order to reopen the economy safely, we need to test everyone to see if he has it, even people without symptoms, and also to test people to see if they are immune so the government can release those to work.  Then we are told that if we find someone who currently has the disease, we need to find everyone he has been within six feet of for fifteen minutes in the past two weeks and then put all of those people under house arrest for two weeks.

Then we are told that until we get a vaccine, which may be a year or never, we must practice social distancing, wear masks, and never gather in groups of more than ten, or else huge numbers of people will die.

Now, this sounds to me as though they would rather see the economy destroyed and the U.S. collapse than allow people the freedom to work, save their businesses, and feed their families.

It all sounds illogical and impractical, and a lot sounds fake to me, so, since supposed journalists support keeping the economy in a depression and won't ask questions, I have questions for those who want to keep the economy shut down and destroy the wealth and income of tens of millions of Americans.  Here are some of the people the questions are for:

Bill Gates, Ezekiel Emanuel (adviser to Joe Biden), Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, the CDC, the WHO, the Imperial College, many governors, and most pretend journalists who seek to destroy Trump every day and now seek to destroy protesters, for the "crime" of wanting freedom to work and feed their families instead of being dependent on their masters, the government.  They say these protesters want people to die.

Since we are told that COVID-19 has been around for months and that large numbers of people are very contagious and spreading the dangerous disease, let's look at what was going on in the U.S. from November 2019 to early March 2020.

We are starting in November because ABC put out a fake news story, with no evidence, that Trump was informed in November of the dangers of the pandemic.  Other media outlets were giddy as they repeated the story without evidence.

Throughout the period, we had college and professional football games, college and professional basketball games, professional hockey games, and golf tournaments with crowds in the tens of thousands.  There were no masks, there was no social distancing, and there was no outbreak or deaths.  People even shook hands.  Yet there were no cases where people contracted the disease from other people until the end of February.

We had the Rose Bowl, Super Bowl, Citrus Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and many other bowls with large crowds, no social distancing, no masks, and no outbreak or deaths.

In NYC, where the disease currently is very active, we had crowded subways, crowded streets, millions gathering at work and in parks, Broadway plays, and concerts, and we had the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and Times Square on New Year's Eve.  Maybe we should contact-trace Times Square on New Year's Eve.  That should be easy and quick.

People went to weddings, funerals, churches, hairdressers, bowling alleys, tennis courts, swimming pools, fit clubs, and parks and had birthday parties and social gatherings with many more than ten people.  They even gave hugs and kisses.  They did not practice social distancing or wear masks, yet there was no disease outbreak or deaths.

We are told that the disease is especially threatening to older people, so Florida should have had huge problems.  Disney World was packed; cruise ships come in and out with people from around the world.  Older people come from everywhere, and especially from New York.  There was no social distancing or masks yet no outbreak or deaths.

So where is the proof that the disease has been around for months and that Trump should have known?  He did act very early on the China travel ban and he was ripped for that as being racist, xenophobic, and overreacting.

The WHO in January said the disease would not transfer human to human.  Dr. Fauci said many times in January, February, and early March that COVID-19 wasn't much of a problem in the U.S.  In early March, he even said it was all right to go on cruises...but Trump acted late and caused deaths?

Now a few questions for people at CDC and Imperial College:

We had a few cases of community transfer of COVID-19 in early March so what factual scientific data did you plug into your computer models to come up with that the U.S. would have hundreds of millions of cases and millions of deaths in your models that came out March 13th and 17th? Shouldn't we be given the data since those dire predictions caused the destruction of the U.S economy and a depression? Was there anywhere in the world that showed the entire adult population would get the virus? That is essentially what you said. My guess is you plugged in a bunch of garbage and got results which would beat the people into submission.

Were there any data that showed that children were vulnerable and should be closed? I certainly haven't seen any.

Can you cite any other case where you tell hospitals to assign a death to a specific disease if it is just remotely associated with that death? Isn't that clearly political to push an agenda to goose the numbers?

Is it logical or reasonable, when around 40% of deaths are around NYC and around 20% involving people in nursing homes, that we recommend shutting down significant portions of the U.S. economy nationwide?

For Imperial College:

Within around ten days of your original report, you adjusted your death count prediction down by around 96% and everyone claimed that was because of social distancing and other mitigation when the big adjustment clearly is because your first predictions were pure junk. Can you show the data that shows proof that the decline in prediction is because of a few days of social distancing?

Isn't the fact that states that didn't do the tyrannical mitigation, not only didn't see a spike, but saw a very low death rate, proof that the social distancing wasn't the cause of the much lower predictions?

For Drs. Fauci and Birx:

Shouldn't governors quit claiming that their strict orders as they destroyed their states' economies caused predicted death rates and deaths to decline when other states that didn't intentionally destroy their economies had excellent results and low deaths? They continue to claim that everything they do is because of facts and science as they claim Trump doesn't. More B.S. that the media repeats.

Shouldn't everyone stop lecturing governors to destroy their economies when their results aren't bad?

Last week, you said that schools that are closed should remain closed and schools that are open should remain open. Doesn't that show the decision is political and not based on science since schools that remained open haven't had problems? How much short term and long term damage is being done to children, especially the poor, minorities and special needs children, when schools were closed without cause?

The media is reporting that WHO says the worst is ahead of us on COVID-19. Why do media outlets pretend they have credibility when they are essentially puppets for China and caused so much death and economic damage with their lies?

The media is also reporting that CDC is warning that next year COVID-19 might be worse than this year. Why isn't the media reporting how bad and damaging to the economy the original predictions were?

The models on COVID-19 are as inaccurate and manipulated as the models on climate change. It is disgusting that the media presents fictional modeling as factual when they are pushing the radical, leftist agenda.

China, Russia and Iran would love to see the U.S. economy collapse. It is a shame that so many bureaucrats, journalists, entertainers and other Democrats are helping to fulfill their wishes. Anything to take out Trump and put themselves in power. The U.S is not collapsing because of the Chinese virus. It is collapsing because governors throughout the U.S. chose to close the economy down and many are delaying the reopening even after seeing that the original modeling leading to the closing was a load of junk.

Ever since Trump was elected, he has been trying to give all people the opportunity to move up the economic ladder while Democrats have been spreading lies and rooting for economic collapse with the help of a complaint media cabal.

Most journalists and other Democrats clearly want the people to be subservient to the government instead of the politicians and bureaucrats being servants to the people which is the way it should be.

Get the economy open! Why is California still closed, since their results are so good?
