Coronavirus: Missing school is worse than virus for children - Whitty

I’m more worried about the older people that these children will undoubtedly end up infecting and who will take responsibility for those that die...?

Coronavirus: Missing school is worse than virus for children - Whitty

Why do these people act like there's no adults in schools, or that children don't go home to any adults either?

 

[Teelie]

Those old people lived a good life and now they can die for the economy. That is what we are being told.

 

[Hobgoblin]

That’s exactly what I keep hearing. “They’re going to die anyway.”
I wonder if that attitude would still remain if a fetus had a fatal abnormality.

Once we reach 200,000 deaths we can finally own the libs.

A friend of mine was diagnosed with covid a few weeks ago but now it seems to be valley fever or lupus. On a selfish level, I don’t want to tell my wife that it isn’t covid after all, because I’ll never hear the end of it. It is interesting how it was a misdiagnosis.
I just hope my friend comes out of it well.

Why would you never hear the end of it? It doesn't sound like you made the diagnosis.

Because she says the covid numbers are inflated. The one person that seemed badly sick with it doesn’t have covid.

 

[InCali]

Oh.....just tell her that false positives are much more rare than false negatives so there's more people who think they are negative than aren't.

Unless your wife is like mine and logic is irrelevant.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Ditto her family, whose word she takes as gospel.

 

[squeekness]

Thank God my husband and I think alike, we both take this very seriously.

I don’t understand why some people would think that. If anything, the numbers are underreported!

Exactly.

This isn’t really something to joke about (I hope it was a joke). Maybe people like this should be taken at their word and convicted for attempted murders.

Is this right, or is the “expert” in the article painting an overly rosy picture?

 

[Hobgoblin]

I don’t understand why some people would think that. If anything, the numbers are underreported!

They found a video where Gov Pritzker and a health expert claim that all Illinois deaths are counted as covid deaths. Dad in law also said that the media changed its focus to covid infections instead of deaths because the public is getting wise to them.

There’s an awful lot of people who by rights deserve to be removed from office and held criminally negligent.
