"The facts don't matter, the story is pre-written."

Over 180 church goers told to self-quarantine after attendee at Mother's Day service tests positive.

YouTube censors epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski for opposing lockdown

Dr. Knut M. Wittkowski, former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, says YouTube removed a video of him talking about the virus which had racked up more than 1.3 million views.

Wittkowski, 65, is a ferocious critic of the nation’s current steps to fight the coronavirus. He has derided social distancing, saying it only prolongs the virus’ existence and has attacked the current lockdown as mostly unnecessary.

Inside the Media's Desperate Cover-Up of 'Obamagate'

“This week’s news that at least 39 Obama officials had unmasked Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s private conversations during the last month of their administration seemed a little shocking. Today, major media outlets are telling readers and viewers that the practice is “routine.”

What all of these Obamagate deniers are about is a determined effort to journalistically cover-up what arguably is the biggest scandal in American history – a silent coup attempt against a President of the United States by a collection of dirty cops and dirty bureaucrats.

These media cover-up artists are about nothing less than covering up this scandal by – to borrow from Hillary Clinton - picturing the investigation into Obamagate as nothing more than a vast rightwing conspiracy theory that is a “big pile of hooey”

As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy noted here at National Review, in an excerpt from his bestseller Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency:

“On January 12, 2017, The Washington Post’s David Ignatius published a leak from an unidentified “senior U.S. government official,” describing Flynn’s communications with Kislyak after Obama announced the anti-Russia sanctions.”

That leak, which clearly came from that “senior U.S. government official” who had access to the unmasking of General Flynn – was a federal crime. That is a fact.

However, if you've been paying attention, then you know that a vaccine, if one can be produced, is at least 18 months away.

How many will die in 18 months, and especially if the fat boy in the White House convinces millions of citizens that there's nothing to fear? I reject your use of "rationale," it is not a rationale to recognize that the health care delivery system in North America, relatively good based on global comparisons, cannot deal with this pandemic and the ordinary, quotidian morbidity and trauma, without imposing the isolation, distancing and shutdowns which the more intelligent governments have implemented.

You have a dismissive tone to your pronouncements as though you were addressing not terribly clever undergraduates in the early days of their educations. It is something I've seen for years, and which I resent.

Well, there seem to be a lot of indications that recovery from the virus doesn't confer immunity.

Can You Develop COVID-19 Twice? Here’s What We Know

But coronaviruses like those that cause SARS, COVID-19, and MERS don’t have a dormant phase, and they don’t integrate into our DNA, making a reactivation unlikely.

“Human coronaviruses have not yet been shown to have anything like an inactive phase, so the idea of reactivation is a bit of a stretch,” Neuman said.
It may come down to each person’s immune system

Obama claims his presidency was free from scandal — but he’s full of it

Democrats take it as a matter of moral certainty that Donald Trump and his political allies can only do wrong and cannot be wronged. Trump and his colleagues insist that they have been wronged in a very serious way: by the Obama administration’s abusing federal counterintelligence tools as an extension (and a post-election extension) of the 2016 presidential campaign. That is a perversion of political power that should command the attention of all Americans irrespective of their assessment of President Trump.

It makes sense, in a way. However, if you've been paying attention, then you know that a vaccine, if one can be produced, is at least 18 months away. How many will die in 18 months, and especially if the fat boy in the White House convinces millions of citizens that there's nothing to fear?

Basically, anti-Trumpism has generated a massive cult of anti-authority where the sheeple can be herded by opposition to Trump instead of obedient submission to him.

You are right. They project the crap they are doing themselves. A cult describes them well.
