Anyone else about sick to fucking death of the term "social distancing"?

German Official Leaks Report Denouncing COVID-19 As "A Global False Alarm"
Germany’s federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.

• The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.
  
  
• The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress (including the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation).
  
  
• Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18.
  
  
• The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm.
  

A reproach could go along these lines:

During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.

So far, so bad. But it gets worse.

The report focuses on the “manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures” and warns that these are “grave”.

More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus.

The threat is real. I would give anything to have a few more months with my mother.

This right here.^^^^^^^^
Shit changes when it hits close to home. Sorry for your loss.

The balls on an ME to play games with their job, nevermind under these circumstances. Honestly, with the way people operate nowadays I would not be surprised. Looking forward to the results

so as expected we now have a report in direct contrast to the first ME report. How does this sort of thing get sorted?

Looting and tear gas?

Trump is advocating getting tougher on the crowds. The governors are soft on the people, he feels. Sounds like rubber bullets aren't enough for him

So is deploying harsher measures the answer?

absolutely. People who are rioting are actively commiting felonies, many of which are violent felonies. Shoot em. Protests are not violent and they do not result in the destruction of life or property. I would happily put lead into anyone that makes the choice to hurt anything of mine on my property, especially in these circumstances. And all trained shooters, liberal and conservative alike, are going for center mass or head. No second chance for that shit.

I don’t think it’s at governor level yet is it? I think decisions are being made by the mayors of the cities. And after seeing that Minneapolis mayor, “soft” is an understatement.

But Trump is trying to lead. Trying to make the local government feel the pressure. These are LOCAL decisions that are getting fucked up. The do-nothing officials can’t have it both ways like Cuomo thinks. Where you do nothing, ask for Federal help and then bitch that Trump handled it wrong afterwards.

Either handle it or step the fuck out of the way.

 

[NorthMich]

He had some phone call with the state governors today and that was the spin on it. Get tougher

I think shit would get unglued to another level if dozens of people were shot dead. By cops. That’s just never gonna happen.

Grannies in wheelchairs would turn out For the next protest. Crowds would increase. My guess. These are still Americans and open war on the us population would only bring out many citizens to protest.

That’s my take on that.

There are professional agitators. --Paid operatives dressed in black with high-tech equipment and communications, systematically breaking windows and starting fires, inciting violence and stirring up what were mostly peaceful protestors.
This is not theory....; it is FACT.

What's your idea? Allow communists to burn the country to the ground?

With all of our surveillance technology, I highly doubt it’s that hard to identify specific people and take them out. On another front, I saw where Twitter suspended all ANTIFA accounts because they were broadcasting instructions on there. Funny how it never bothered them prior and they needed to be declared terrorists before Twitter took action.

They could just make it clear that if you are the property owner or employed by the property owner, any defense of your property will be considered justified without overwhelming evidence to the contrary. No need for martial law, or police shootings. They would just need someone to pick up the violent idiots in the morning.

Saw a report that Floyd was high on fentanyl. Lol.

What a surprise!

Got ahold of some laced smack. Any type of painful means for compliance rendered useless. It takes force to restrain someone who is resisting an arrest. This wasn't a misdemeanor, yet a federal crime he committed. I doubt his first. My brother in-law is a deputy and he said the knee on neck is just one of many techniques used. I'm sure he was tazed, and if he was still struggling in the back of car probably got some pepper spray too. Fentanyl is widely know for suppressing respiration, throw in a 3 day crack binge, dehydration, alcohol and a deadly storm was brewing.

It’s been almost 30 years since Rodney King decided to get high on crack, take the police on a high speed chase, and then resist arrest until the batons came out and administered a beating that.... just so happened to be caught on video.

Things don’t change. Resist arrest and the officers get rough. It’s as simple as that.

Who’s racist? The media is. They like to play the race card every chance they get. Its provocative and gets ratings. Does that mean racism is really still alive in America? I think you’d be pretty hard pressed to find real occurrences of that in the majority of places.

The media needs to be brought into line. There’s no Dan Rathers or Walter Kronkites. People with integrity. They’re all trying to compete and it’s trash - based on little to no truth. All bullshit to make money.

People have no idea what awaits them outside of the deserted, socialist cities. Come to a blue collar town and try that shit.

Even in a city, on a highway. Whatever. I see people assaulting vehicles with people in them, sorry folks buts that's a fatal move. There very well may be 500 of you. I carry 20 rounds. 10mm and I'm betting they sting a little. Who's going to be the lucky 21st? Not everyone wants to be part of the riot and will defend when needed. Not trying to be a 6pm news cycle but I'm also not trying to defend myself from rioting losers.

I would actually prefer to have the power to protect my life and all that accompanies it with my own mind and hands. I believe if it were left up to others my insurance would end up denying my "rioting hoard burnt downy business" claim and I would be successfully sued by a looter that broke a finger while stealing my belongings.

I'll be fair about it though. For every violent felon that I successfully "manage" I will donate 250$ to a no kill animal shelter, gay rights group or any minority organization of their families choice.

Fired close enough, rubber bullets from a shotgun can be lethal. Commonly used to skip shoot, just like buckshot, the pellets hit an object and bounce low striking the legs and whatever else. Many an eye have been put out. Fired toward the ground,wall or directly at a target you can reach around obstacles. You can absolutely own someone barricaded behind cover like a car. if the riots continue to spread, people will continue to suffer. Even the peaceful protesters are being caught in the crossfire. How about tonight, people just stay home.

We had a local girl die from a rubber bullet when the Sox won the series years ago. Can be nasty.

If there are rubber bullets being used nobody in the area is a protester. They are in a riot if that's happening. You are LE, media or a rioting fool. I believe if you go out you probably have intent to participate. God help you if you are even just guilty by association. I put the stakes very high with stuff like this. Unlike my rounds, my words are far from hollow.

(And when I say "you" I'm generalizing, not really saying you )

A FedEx driver had to run someone over in Saint Louis the other day and killed him. The guy was trying to disconnect his trailer while others were waving guns and he got drug under a tire when the driver took off.

While peaceful protests are justifiable under the constitution, the mob violence I've seen on TV is NOT!

Stated another way, "two wrongs don't make a right"
