Much distrust and anger towards the talking heads.Did we learn something about a pandemic &amp;nbsp;Firstly I believe we learned what goverment and its flock will do to prop themselves up and show no truthfull concern about its peoples health. Promised money will not get to the most needy,it rarely does. Just a bunch of chest beating, and endless deceitfulness. Big Pharma are competing to be the &amp;quot;1st&amp;quot; to market as they will undoubtedly reap a killing (awful pun) with no responsibility. Bet the BP lawyers have all the bases covered and locked for the maimed sheepol  And if we need to be chipped to prove vaccination ? Scream constitutional rights violations because you can, but what if it was you making the calls back then?  They denied it for too long as it was anyway. What if you got sick or lost family because less was done? I believe the good  people who care about their health and others are doing the right moral things to help. Learning by experience,good and bad has been the way of human. Lots of data has been gathered for us to sort out. Stay aware.&lt;/p&gt;

Currently they&amp;#39;re saying; &amp;quot;Studies show that about 16% of the population may be asymptomatic, ..... Some models developed by other scientists suggest as much as 40% of global transmission may be due to asymptomatic individuals,&amp;quot;    So its DEFINITELY not rare!  There is some confusion with the term &amp;quot;asymptomatic spread&amp;quot;.  Some people get infected and never develop symptoms.  However, many others get infected and, soon after, start shedding virus and potentially infecting others people - before they go on to develop symptoms themselves.  They are infectious while they are asymptomatic (ie with no symptoms) but they are not &amp;quot;asymptomatic carriers&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

By directing people&amp;#39;s attention to the coronavirus, and blaming it for causing any and all economic problems, the media are keeping most people unaware that the financial crisis that began in 2008-09 never ended. Their most recent ludicrous claim is that the economy&amp;#39;s recovery depends on the availability of a coronavirus vaccine. They don&amp;#39;t want people to know that Trump&amp;#39;s assertion that the economy is in great shape is a lie and that central banks are supporting the economy. Media attention to the coronavirus is shutting out news about whatever is happening in the real world.&lt;/p&gt;

This is another play by WHO to get infections up again so that people are less careful and so that they can continue to push vaccines. This is the same reason that they said a long time ago that face masks don&amp;#39;t do anything and that it doesn&amp;#39;t live on surfaces.  Many viruses live a long time on surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;

Are they; Gates, Fauci, Rockefeller, Zuckerberg, Clintons, Soros and the other a$$hole$; going to be held responsible for all the people that committed suicide, for increased domestic violence cases, for increased child molestation because dad‘s were drinking and out of work. Doctors were trying to report this but their videos were being taken down. &amp;nbsp;If you remember Fauci published a paper for the NEJM back in March that stated coronavirus mortality rate  would be no worse than  seasonal flu and still they shut the country down. Reputable doctors and scientists were also saying the same thing over the last couple of months and still they shut the country down. Remember Dr. Dan Erickson‘s video. He said you quarantine the sick not the healthy and still they kept the country shut down. Arrogant politicians including  senators and  governors, and so-called public health experts, the DC crowd, need to listen to reputable doctors and scientists when it comes to public health issues and not BIG corporations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DOJ needs to start indicting these criminals. Fauci should be fired NOW which many people have been saying all along. he’s trying to be a politician instead of a doctor. No one should be listening to anything he says, I think most people aren’t. He’s all about $$$$ and not about public health safety. Like Dr. mercola said this will go down as the worst debacle in American history. Shameful, shameful, shameful!!! I have no intention of re-electing my state governor or state senators. They knew this lockdown was against Constitutional rights which was only to be for 30 days and here we are mid June with some businesses opening and operating at 50% capacity, park districts are still closed, summer festivities are all canceled, etc&lt;/p&gt;

It&amp;#39;s also &amp;quot;very rare&amp;quot; to transmit covid19 through surface contact. Businesses closed for nothing. Grandparents and elderly died alone for nothing. Worship canceled for nothing. Women birthed babies alone for nothing. Important surgeries canceled for nothing. Students forced out of school for nothing. Graduations canceled for nothing. Humans stripped of their bodily autonomy for nothing. Suicides and domestic abuse skyrocketed for nothing. Weird. It&amp;#39;s almost like they knew what filling you with fear would do to your ability to comply with any and all demands. --- Author Unknown&lt;/p&gt;

However, some errors are more difficult to correct than others.  Many people did their best based on the information they were given at the time.   There are several important lessons here.   Do not assume the experts know it all.  Do your own research and observe objectively.  Do not believe everything you are told. This will not be the last health crisis or other kind of crisis.  Take steps now to become more self-reliant and less dependent.   Expect the dominos to keep falling.  Crises have ongoing fallout.  Consider ways in which you can cope and adapt.&lt;/p&gt;

Infuriating yes, criminal. To boot, the CDC has stated that they now estimate USA CVD19 death rates, to be 0.26%. That&amp;#39;s 1/4 of 1%!  &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-the-cdc-confirms-remarkably-low-coronavirus-death-rate-where-is-the-media"&gt;www.theblaze.com/.../horowitz-the-cdc-confirms-remarkably-low-coronavirus-death-rate-where-is-the-media&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp; B) I ask the question, if asymptomatic carriers is in fact, a scam, designed to invoke fear. Could this be nothing more than false positive test results? &amp;nbsp;C) Even if B) is Not true, then the fact remains, that people can spread the ordinary flu around too. Don&amp;#39;t call them murderers, and to shut down the globe and shoo them into their corners at home, is false house arrest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;D) ATTENTION, IMPORTANT: The social distancing, the shelter in place ,have got to be unconstitutional. I am not an attorney. My layperson&amp;#39;s thoughts: ~ Economic downfall: The right to life is constitutionally guaranteed. Home, food, education=right to life itself. ~False arrest, 4th amendment violation based on over-inflated figures (many doctors have spoken out), CDC CVD19 diagnostic guidelines based on &amp;quot;probable&amp;quot; cause of death with no testing required &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/faq-surveillance.html"&gt;www.cdc.gov/.../faq-surveillance.html&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp; (Scroll down) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~ Freedom of movement, freedom of association, right to peaceable assembly, all threatened and undermined based on &amp;quot;Social&amp;quot; distancing and &amp;quot;Sheltering&amp;quot; in place ~ Freedom of self expression inhibited by masks and distancing, no hugs, no kissing, summon the police, illegal (well, almost) ~&amp;quot;No state shall make laws abridging the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the United States...&amp;quot; 14th amendment ~ Government over-reaches based on over-inflated stories and propaganda machinery called the media. &amp;nbsp;There are many people who have to be sued, prosecuted for treason against the People globally, invoking excessive fear, based on gross exaggerations. They have broken the economy, caused homelessness, starvation, suicides, domestic violence has increased, dictatorship ushered in, AHA!&lt;/p&gt;
