You realize the reason we are doing all this had more to do with politics than actually saving lives. Lots of people die for this economy to function the way it does. Especially non-Americans. Our elites haven't rediscovered a commitment to every human life.

Rather,

Anyone with any kind of public office or even presence doesn't want to be the guy that let a few million die from a bad version of the flu. Also, if something isn't done, it could get so bad that there is some kind of political event. Not only does the market crash anyway at that point, leadership is distinctly less popular.

The thing is, people have been warning for a good 3-4 years that the economy is over-leveraged and any little thing will cause a crash worse than the Great Depression. For some reason, very wealthy people still often have a problem understanding that good market conditions aren't permanent.

Anyway, your a fool if you think the economy is gonna "bounce back" because of "pent up demand." That's not how it ever works. These things take time rev up and down.

All job gains since Great Recession -- gone

Wealth of billionaires is up since crash....but i have a feeling that's not gonna last.

This is what they are worried about. Their best bet is to just let the economy stay closed and then blame the horrible numbers on the virus rather than how fragile the system was to any little hiccup.

Especially since everytime a country has tried opening up more they have seemed to regret it.

Not every death is equal either. If you die from some flu in a modern hospital where you're just being pumped full of hope that everything is going to be alright and then if you die you're probably not even aware of it, that's one kind.

But then if you get pulled over by a fake Mountie who is upset the government closed his denture business because of the virus and then you get blasted in the face and then you crawl out of your car and the guy just shoots you two more times and walks away and you just lie there thinking wow this hurts and also I'm missing half my face, well that's another kind of death.

Data will tell you 24 people died. Data won't add 24 people to the covid toll, because obviously they died from bullets, but would have they died from bullets if it wasn't for the virus? No one will ever know the final toll.

Since New York was the highest in the USA here is some interesting stats..
Long Island 16.7%
New York City 21.2%
westchester/rockland 11.7%
REST OF STATE 3.6%

NYC is a shit hole and would never survive a real pandemic.

It's an intentional dismantling of the economy to give you guys the socialism you've been clammoring for for the past several years.

The coronavirus outbreak was intentional, they even did a mock play of the outbreak in the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.

Congratulations, nanny state incoming. Make sure you take their vaccination and biochip ASAP like a good little sheep.

Sometimes I wonder what it's like to live in a headspace where everything is planned a decade in advance and executed without flaw globally by competent and well-coordinated shadowmen. That'd be nicer than just people making the same terrible mistakes over and over again

I read once that was the original plot of everquest but they scrapped it. Now the shadowmen just hang out in ec and lavastorm kicking rocks

Notice they don't say anything about reptiles getting coronavirus...just humans, bats, cats, pangolins, etc. But not lizards. Coincidence? Unlikely.

Executed without flaw? no.

In the recent hacking into emails at the institute of virology in Wuhan, and the WHO, it was revealed that they originally intended to splice the coronavirus with ebola to acheive a much higher death rate, but that proved non-transmittable.

In April 2019 after testing coronavirus spliced with HIV they found a pathogen with a very very high transmittability rate, but the mortality was much lower than they had hoped for.

They had to settle for the latter discovery, as time was running short. Which is why we have such an underwhelming death toll with this whole virus thing, with a statistically verifiable mark-ed decrease in the average death toll of pre-extant fatal illnesses being attributed erroneously to coronavirus, and loose definitions of how our medical staff are to ascribe the cause of death as this fairly tame alternative spreads through the population. This relation to HIV is also why the antibody count in those recovering from the virus is much lower than normally witnessed when one recovers from other forms of coronavirus conventionally umbrella'd under the term "the common cold".

In an effort to control the narrative, the media industry then released a stream of articles over the past few days denoting the occurence of the hack, and attributing the antagonists of the hacks as Neo-Nazis, and other miscellaneous "online terrorists" and "extremists" as a means of conducting an ad-hominem attack to discredit the discoveries unearthed in said activities, as evidenced here:
