Coronavirus: 4/29

1. Look at all those ftards, not wearing masks.

   Our future looks so bright. /s

   • Those masks cut down your oxygen supply. You keep re-breathing all the junk particles your body is trying to expel. Sunlight and fresh air are very beneficial. So is oxygen.

2. After surpassing the death toll of the Vietnam War yesterday, COVID-19 surpassed the death toll of the 2017-2018 flu season this evening, which was the worst flu season since the 1967 flu pandemic.

   Lol. You are a confirmed catastrophist.

   The question is: is it bad enough to justify a forever shutdown of the economy?

   If that sounds coldblooded, consider this: cars kill tens of thousands of people each year, but we don’t ban them because we reason saving those people isn’t worth the cost to our convenience.

   The same logic applies here. We’re not just depriving people of their cars, we’re depriving them (at a growing rate) of the means of earning a living.

   Is it worth it?

   I don’t claim to know the answer. But that’s what the issue boils down to, and that’s the discussion I’m interested in, rather than tiresome, endless scaremongering.

   • 1.) I’m just sharing the news. Follow the links above.

     2.) I don’t have a position on shutting down the economy.

     3.) Okay, well, Alabama is reopening. A bunch of states are reopening. Florida is reopening now. We will see how it works out.

     4.) I’m not scaremongering. Do you remember the heated exchanges that I had with Tony Martel last month before he nuked his account? I predicted this would happen. It was people like Zman and Ramzpaul who said it wouldn’t happen. Well, it did happen.

   • Is what worth it?

     How many dead and what mitigation are we talking about?

     New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and some others did a decent job but that included testing, contact tracing, masks, and lockdowns. The United States has done almost nothing except a weak attempt at lockdown which was intended to give the nation time to get those tests produced, to contact trace, produce masks…and instead we got political bickering and stream of thought daily news conferences while both sides try to dodge blame and point fingers at the others.

     No it wasn’t worth it if you don’t take advantage of the time granted. Obviously fewer people will die if you maintain a lockdown but you pay a high economic price and eventually you get political and social instability. The problem is that you get those things anyway if more and more people die while Trump tries to avoid accountability.

     Where are the tests?
     Where are the masks?
     Where is the coordinated contact tracing?
     Where is the plan for food security?
     Where is the plan for rents, mortgages, student loans, and landlords?
     What is the plan for insolvent state governments and municipalities?
     What is the plan for border control and pandemic screening?

     Nothing is being done by either side other than looking after their corporate donors but that is the least of the problems we are facing.

   • How is your portfolio doing kyke?

     • Browning, you twit, anyone familiar with my posts at Unz.com (posting as ‘silviosilver’) would have a very hard time sustaining the claim that I’m some yid. Long-term posters here know I’m not, so I don’t bother responding to allegations that I am. I’m making an exception in your case, because even though to me you cut a pathetic figure, perhaps there are extenuating circumstances, and I’m not here to add your miseries.

   • Silver,

     Car deaths do not function on an exponential curve, Your comparison is apples-to-oranges.

     The deaths we have now are not reflective of the deaths we would have if restrictions were removed. The restrictions are likely what is keeping the deaths and cases from going exponential.

     • The restrictions are likely what is keeping the deaths and cases from going exponential.

       That’s the view I incline to also. It seems self-evident, but there is in fact some dispute about it. Furthermore, my understanding is that in the case of epidemics, exponential growth doesn’t carry on to infinity; it’s bounded by various constraints. Although a shutdown was, imo, undoubtedly warranted in the first couple of months, since the virus was such an unknown quantity, as our knowledge of its nature and effects increases, it becomes necessary to discuss at what point a shutdown can no longer be justified, even if we know that easing restrictions will have a cost in more lives lost.

3. Keep an eye on Brazil.
   Wi their lax, or nonexistent, mitigation methods they wi serve as an object lesson.

4. It’s a shame that HW’s morbid fixation on Covid 19 death statistics is attracting unsavory characters to this site, like that bitter alcoholic “Old Tradesman” and the autistic retard “Silver”. The atmosphere has become friggin’ toxic around here!

   And as much as I hate to say it Col. Anglin has a much more sober take on the nature of this virus. He would easily defeat HW in a debate on the matter.

   • I agree. Nigger Anglin had a very good debate with Grinder Greg.

     Of course Anglin is well travelled and has seen a lot of places and dealt with many different people and cultures. Hunter has basically been around the Deep South and that’s about the extent of it.

     • You would like them two Jew whores now wouldn’t you kyke?

   • Lolz! Spahnranch1969 has another opinion!

     Here’s a fact: Spahn Ranch, the old movie site located north of Chatsworth, CA, is where Charlie Manson and his cult dismembered and decapitated ranch hand Donald Shea prior to murdering actress Sharon Tate and four others in 1969.

     Helter Skelter, beta boy!

     Anybody reading this website knows you are mentally ill.

     Col. Anglin? Really? Neither you nor Anglin know anything about being in the shit.

     Your obsequious sycophancy to the bloodthirsty, middle-aged wench “Miss Denise” is clearly evident. But since we’re speculating about others, allow me to return the favor. Does/did your father know about your various sexual fantasies re older married women who are dominant partners in their relationships?

     I seriously don’t know why HW tolerates you and your married girlfriend. There are limits to free speech, fucktard, and I would have banned both of you long ago. Are you paying HW to provide you with a platform?

     • LOL! Der ewige Merchant – you are an absolute screech! Haha! Careful – your head may explode any second now! All told – that may not be a bad thing since ZOG can attribute your demise to yet another CoronaChan death”.

       • PS – you are so excited, aren’t you, that you figured out the Spahn ranch reference. It’s akin to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, isn’t it? WOO HOO! Ooohhh -what could it mean? Spahn’s “handle” is skeery! SKEEERRRYYY! So SkeeeEEEeeerrryy!

         I always thought Spahn’s choice of name is genuinely, darkly funny. I’m sorry for you, on one hand Merchant. Moving through life without a sense of humour is a terrible burden
