    The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation

    This is an op-ed piece by a Stanford MD Scott Atlas. I could not have said it better.


    Fact 1: The overwhelming majority of people do not have any significant risk of dying from COVID-19.

    Fact 2: Protecting older, at-risk people eliminates hospital overcrowding.

    Fact 3: Vital population immunity is prevented by total isolation policies, prolonging the problem.

    Fact 4: People are dying because other medical care is not getting done due to hypothetical projections.

    Fact 5: We have a clearly defined population at risk who can be protected with targeted measures.
    Fact 6: More people are going to suffer and die world-wide from the economic disaster the blanket shutdowns have caused then will ever die from COVID-19.

    As far as Fact 6, that ship has sailed. The Panic has initiated a Second Great Depression. The burdens of this Depression will fall particularly hard on younger people, who, of course, were not significantly in danger from the Cornholevirus. So how do you think they will respond the State trashing their future to protect a very small number of elderly people? They are not going to be too concerned about the limited government ideals their hypocritical elders lectured them about right before they asked the government to lock up everybody because they were terrified of getting sick. The first Great Depression got us the New Deal, kneecapping limited government and advancing the idea of citizens as little better than wards of the State. What will the Second Depression get us?

    No matter though, I'm sure everything we lose will be totally worth it. After all, people were scared.
    Dr. Goldstein showed us the way. We dropped the ball. Pick up the ball.

      Never let the truth get in the way of an over hyped, hysterical, engineered panic.

        B.S. hoax from the beginning, to hurt Trump and expand the government. I've been saying it's the same as the flu from the beginning.
        Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

              Hush peasant! We must listen to the "EXPERTS"...err...um...even though they've been far FAR more wrong than they've been right. I mean, a fringe lunatic Covid-19 denier screaming from the hilltops that ZERO people are going to die in this thing would be FAR more right and accurate than the "Experts." But they're EXPERTS gosh darn it! So we MUST listen to them!

                      Governmental propaganda at a global scale the world has never seen. If religion was once the opiate of the masses, this was fentanyl and it has paralyzed critical thinking worldwide.

                        Nope, most leftists are still panicking like little idiots and they are super angry that parks and beaches are slowly opening. They think everyone is going to die. Stupid idiots.

                          "...which from their verbosity, their endless tautologies, their involutions of case within case, and parenthesis within parenthesis, and their multiplied efforts at certainty by saids and aforesaids, by ors and by ands, to make them more plain, do really render them more perplexed and incomprehensible, not only to common readers, but to lawyers themselves.
