Allergy symptoms are horrid this season. I have had 3 friends go to the hospital because of allergies. This is the first year I have felt the effects as well.

Stop using skewed stats and scare phrases, you are not Bloomberg or Gifford. It's killed more in 2 months than gun deaths in 12.. You can't compare those stats unless you are willing to look at the larger picture, which will defeat your stat.

Quick lookup showed 52,280 US Deaths in Vietnam, and that is out of how many soldiers that went over there? Per USWarDogs.org 2.7 million Americans served in Vietnam. That's a fatality rate of almost 2% of those who served, died.

The problem you are going to have is to PROVE how many people have been infected with Corona (I.e., served). If we are to believe NY that 14% of people are infected, that blows your claim out of the water. If you try and claim that we should only count current known infections, then you are a Bloomberg.

Let me be the first to say...... "Thank you", for your excellent and to the point post.

quick break for station identification.

LC Radio are the opinions of a professional arguer, aka an attorney. Valid, invalid, muddy, fuzzy, accurate, inaccurate, Bloomberg, Gifford, Stalin, Rather, Huntley, Brinkley, Cronkite, Brokaw, Jennings, or 3rd hand rumor from the Waste Mgmt driver by proxy thru the nosy U.S. Navy Master Chief retired neighbor, it's kinda like,


You'll never win. Back in 4, 3, 2, 1, ON AIR

I want to push back on this point just a bit.

Thus far, it's been rather hard to actually get a test. At least in the places I've heard of (Skagit Co. among them) you had to have both a set of symptoms and, at least in this county, until recently, a suspected exposure. If you didn't meet one of those two criteria, you didn't get a test at all. This leaves a lot of unknown. It isn't fear mongering to say we have no idea how widespread the virus is outside of known cases, it's just the truth. There hasn't been adequate testing, and testing of the right kind, to determine how widespread it is. We've got educated guesses by very smart people, but they are guesses all the same.

Decisions have to be made on best available data. The number of unknown infections is, as the name implies, unknown and unavailable.

We're still new to this bug, and, as such, making assumptions on unknowns is risky. Drive-through testing is starting up here in Skagit, I would assume it's starting in other places, too, but negative tests aren't worth much, since the moment the person tested leaves the testing site, the test result is no longer current.


Movement on another front, though. I've been watching Dose of Dr. Drew every couple days, and he keeps making noise about how the vast majority of the patients he's seen die have had not just underlying conditions, but a specific flavor. Metabolic problems, to be specific. Overweight, pre-diabetic or diabetic, being malnourished from a shitty diet, etc. I'll look around for anything that backs that up, but if the medical community can determine precisely who is at the most risk, it'd give some insight on how the bug works.

Here's a couple things I found on a quick hunt that support the idea that metabolic problems might mean infections hit you harder.

I wonder what the vet charges to put a canine on a pantilator?

It's ok for some to extrapolate, as long as it makes chi-na virus seem scarier.

But it's not ok to extrapolate if it brings the narrative into the realm of common sense and liberty.

You're impugning their professional reputation because you disagree with them? Being in the legal arena, I'm sure you're aware of the serious allegations you make.

Fraudulent in what way? What proof?

If you're looking for conflict of interest, has Dr Fauci received money from outside government? Like who? Could this cloud his judgement or behavior?

There was recently a thread taken down in that you IMO correctly surmised that some remarks could be untrue. Could you weigh using the same criteria you now use in your characterization of these professional, board certified, doctors working in the field giving their own opinion of the landscape based on their personal, hands on observations and experience that you lack?

You say you rely on unknown outside expertise to guide your opinion. I recommend you do some research.

Yes. Blinders dont only work on horses.

Nailed it.

I keep hearing Vietnam being used in the statistics by the leftist MSM, and parroted by some individuals in forums (not just this one).

Did someone say we can get drafted into Covid-19?

Holy non sequitur, Batman. It's a totally irrelevant number related to the conversation.

(From 2/19)

Looking back, I think we were played. Perfect propaganda. Remember the Great Firewall of China? Yet leaked videos of the carnage and suffering got out. Why wasn't Shanghai or Beijing hit? Yeah sure, there was a virus of some sort exacerbated by the poor living conditions of the Chinese (dirty air, bad food, unhygienic conditions), and it went here, exacerbated by the poor health of Americans (obesity, smoking, diabetes, aged). But those videos got us and the rest of the world freaked out.

Since there are multiple strains here, that attack different portions of our body, e.g. lungs, heart, testicles, could these have been seeded here?

Like a murder, who benefits?

I think it was a good idea to collect everything into one thread, it's great for historical purposes and looking back.

Like the movie “rush hour” tagline, “follow the rich white man”:) who benefits the most from this pandemic? Chinese communist gov, msm, you name it...
