Lio Writes: Dear Dr. Fauci, I have been a good boy and followed your advice... I have worn a mask, I have social distanced, I have washed my hands and not touched my face. It's like Christmas in reverse... if you are good about those things, then you are rewarded by getting nothing.
Bah!
Sweden never locked down, and of the nine major European countries, their infection rate if fifth out of nine – squarely in the middle. If Dr. Fiction was correct, you’d expect them to be at the top of the infection list. They’re not. Nor are they at the bottom. That means all the lockdown nonsense has been of NO VALUE, except to flatten the curve – which only doubles the length of the pandemic. Thanks SO much for that!
And no, the hospitals haven’t been overwhelmed. In fact, until recently, doctors were being laid off because “non-essential” life-saving tests have been postponed.
Worse yet, the death rates (and other rates) are all fake news. Think of it this way: a death rate is a fraction composed of the number of deaths over the number of infections. BUT everyone admits there are many, many people infected without symptoms. That means the denominator in that fraction is not known. So any sort of rate or percentage is similarly unknown, and therefore fake news. Making it even worse, since the denominator is, by their definition, actually larger than what can be known, all of their rates and percentages are mathematically inflated to make things look MUCH worse that what they actually are. They’re needlessly scaring people.
Granted, the vulnerable must take precautions. But NOT the vast majority of us.
At least they’ve run up the national debt to incredible levels for our grandchildren to maybe pay off someday. And you though college debt was bad for them to bear? Hah! Good luck paying back all those trillions, kids!
What a mess. And all of it unnecessary.
