There is No Pandemic
    #26609291 - 04/17/20 10:54 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Its all just a meme.

We've never had this level of global communication before in history and thats what has spread; a meme.

The virus is the meme itself.

The facts are the facts;

UK is said to be one of the worst hit in Europe so lets look at some facts,

In 2017 over 50,000 people died of the flu


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6446399/More-50-000-people-died-winter-England-Wales-severe-flu-outbreak.html

So far this fake pandemic has killed 14k


If this isn't a meme then what is it?  Why not shut down the country every winter for the higher amount of people dying?


And we're all about to hand over our civil liberties for this?  What a joke. :thumbdown:


Try and post these facts in the mainstream too and see what happens... theres a very definate cover up going on from the top.  We have to ask ourselves why?  What do they really want?

You should look up the definition of a pandemic.  It’s not like in zombie movies, and this virus is it’s own unique kind.  It’s not the same as others, it’s it’s own.  That being said, a pandemic isn’t defined by how deadly or how many people it kills.

I really don’t like saying people are stupid, but your acting stupid.  It’s only been a couple of months and there have been measures taken to help curb the effects of the virus- not just medically.  In a globalized world, the dangers of a pandemic are complex and easily misunderstood as to their effects on its structure and function. 

I’m glad it’s not a virus with an incredibly high ability to cause death in all humans.  We got lucky in that sense.  But that doesn’t mean the deaths it can cause, and the illness it can cause that’s problematic for those who won’t die, or the chaos it can ensue via disruption of the global system isn’t actually or potentially serious in its consequences.

Your trite disregard for the complexity of our world is unfortunate. While I appreciate some of your points, and share some similar concerns, so far, everything that’s happened has been in accord with our legal code and legislature.  The powers and changes being enacted in the last couple months have been in place for quite some time, and aren’t anything outside of what is mandated by US law.  I don’t like big gov. or surveillance, but I can not like it and live with the way the world is now, because to rage against seems folly at this point.

I’m just on earth for a short time, and I’d rather focus on real meaning and my family and friends while here.

So what happens when those infected overwhelm the hospitals and spread the virus to the physicians?

Op if you tried to stop and think about this yourself, maybe you would reach some other conclusion. I am going to hand out to you one perspective though: Ordinary flus circulate freely and only kill the old and sick. This one is way more deadly than an ordinary flu and nobody is completely safe from it, which is why heavy restrictions have been made: the capacity of hospitals to treat people is limited. I mean Italy for example had its ICUs packed when the epidemic hit and they help many sick people because of that.

You should thank your lucky stars you're not in a harder hit area, because if you were then I have no doubt you'd realize how idiotic this dumb ass troll post is.


Orrr, just wait a couple weeks. So much of the US has no idea what is coming. It's just a shame that all the assholes out there protesting are going to end up hurting more than just themselves.

I think it’s total BS to post a topic like this and not have the guts to at least defend your assertions. I’ve personally seen many people die from this and it is much worse than the flu, more difficult to treat and quite honestly a really shitty, scary way to die. You obviously can’t see beyond your own sphere. I hope you wake up.  It’s a sad life to be so oblivious to reality. You should be spending your time being concerned for others and how you can help or at the very least not spreading false hoods on chat boards.. with the amount of people that come here I’m sure many people have been personally effected by this disease. You are dishonoring the suffering of their families and the losses the have already faced and may yet face. Where you at? Hanging out in a place without access to the harsh reality of human suffering.?

The lucky few who are allowed to exist in a self contrived bliss.

The need to switch beds to critical care use is underlined by figures also included in the dashboard. The number of patients in critical care within London, for example, already exceeds the pre-pandemic total.

One thing is true.


Smart well informed people are doing everything in their power to avoid coming into the hospital where the sickest COVID patient are taken and cared for... most non essential surgeries have been canceled. I guess all of the surgeons have decided to not make any money because of this giant medical hoax that has been forced upon them... with all their years of education even they are susceptible to being fooled my the government and mass media.


Thank the lord your are here to enlighten us with your “facts”.

Try and consider the reasoning for the things you post. You are actually arguing against your own point.

I didn't look up the meaning of pandemic definition before posting so; you are correct I am wrong.

P.S I still think most the damage from this is the meme itself.

(and I am social distancing so no I'm not repsonsible for murder as someone tried to suggest.)
