| Anonymous Coward User ID: 42121822  Canada03/16/2020 09:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Coronavirus Hoax Quoting: JohnTheRevelator111 78630001 Written by Ron Paul Monday March 16, 2020 [link to www.ronpaulinstitute.org] Governments love crises because when the people are fearful they are more willing to give up freedoms for promises that the government will take care of them. After 9/11, for example, Americans accepted the near-total destruction of their civil liberties in the PATRIOT Act’s hollow promises of security. It is ironic to see the same Democrats who tried to impeach President Trump last month for abuse of power demanding that the Administration grab more power and authority in the name of fighting a virus that thus far has killed less than 100 Americans. Declaring a pandemic emergency on Friday, President Trump now claims the power to quarantine individuals suspected of being infected by the virus and, as Politico writes, “stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease.” He can even call out the military to cordon off a US city or state. State and local authoritarians love panic as well. The mayor of Champaign, Illinois, signed an executive order declaring the power to ban the sale of guns and alcohol and cut off gas, water, or electricity to any citizen. The governor of Ohio just essentially closed his entire state. The chief fearmonger of the Trump Administration is without a doubt Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci is all over the media, serving up outright falsehoods to stir up even more panic. He testified to Congress that the death rate for the coronavirus is ten times that of the seasonal flu, a claim without any scientific basis. On Face the Nation, Fauci did his best to further damage an already tanking economy by stating, “Right now, personally, myself, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant.” He has pushed for closing the entire country down for 14 days. Over what? A virus that has thus far killed just over 5,000 worldwide and less than 100 in the United States? By contrast, tuberculosis, an old disease not much discussed these days, killed nearly 1.6 million people in 2017. Where’s the panic over this? If anything, what people like Fauci and the other fearmongers are demanding will likely make the disease worse. The martial law they dream about will leave people hunkered down inside their homes instead of going outdoors or to the beach where the sunshine and fresh air would help boost immunity. The panic produced by these fearmongers is likely helping spread the disease, as massive crowds rush into Walmart and Costco for that last roll of toilet paper. The madness over the coronavirus is not limited to politicians and the medical community. The head of the neoconservative Atlantic Council wrote an editorial this week urging NATO to pass an Article 5 declaration of war against the COVID-19 virus! Are they going to send in tanks and drones to wipe out these microscopic enemies? People should ask themselves whether this coronavirus “pandemic” could be a big hoax, with the actual danger of the disease massively exaggerated by those who seek to profit – financially or politically – from the ensuing panic. That is not to say the disease is harmless. Without question people will die from coronavirus. Those in vulnerable categories should take precautions to limit their risk of exposure. But we have seen this movie before. Government over-hypes a threat as an excuse to grab more of our freedoms. When the “threat” is over, however, they never give us our freedoms back.

Over a thousand dead already. I think its 1,500 or something like that. Without quarantine it would be a lot worse! |

So far all we have is one video from Italy and that is it. We have no videos from China. We have no videos from the USA in hospitals. I know of no one that has it!

On the Diamond Princess 700 people tested positive and 7 died. That’s a 1% death rate. Flu has a .1 death rate, so that’s 10x higher than the flu. There is a much higher death rate in Italy. The death rate will be higher when the hospitals are overwhelmed. Dr. Paul, like many general practitioners, is just not paying close enough attention to the stats and details. Other docs felt like he did until they saw it with their own eyes. |

| Who Me User ID: 33067203 United States03/17/2020 01:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ron Paul probably would have gone off on a rant and claimed in the early days of the Spanish Flue of 1918 - 1920 that it was a hoax too. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78633906 By December 1920, 500,000,000 humans had died when it began to wane. Some solid math right here.... 500M died? How about 17M-50M. The earth only had 1.8B at the time. And in reality with the sanitary conditions we had back then I am sure half those deaths, if not 3/4's could have been prevented. Ron Paul makes a lot of sense here. I am still 50/50 on whether I see this being a problem, but I saw an Italy video today and had me thinking that these overweight people in an Italian version of an ICU with a bubble on their head was quite odd. |
