    I hear they are having “Covid parties” in San Antonio, Tejas. Why don’t you check one out and get back to us in about 14 days ?

    Zeke says a lot of things. Most of them creepy and don't resemble America in any way. He should lead by example.

    It is a political stunt and a planned event. My guess is there are goals besides making Trump look bad, but that goal is certainly one of them, and the idiot Trump is playing right along.

    Circumstantial evidence, and plenty of it.

    1) Work done at UNC for Gain of Function, funding re-arranged by Fauci 2015

    2) Fauci makes 2017 statement that this administration will experience an epidemic.

    3) Dem Congressman Courtney introduces CARES Act a full year before the event happens.

    Garbage analysis by *expert* aka sociopathic hack.

    COVID-19 is essentially a bad flu that's being politically/economically weaponized by scum.

    Yup.

    The ChiFlu is the new Russiagate hoax, but VASTLY more dangerous politically, economically and constitutionally.

    Fascists & sociopaths love destroying the country & making people war masks, but decent people aren't so fond of the whole Nazi-like farce.

    LOL, if anyone is swallowing propaganda, it is those who believe known liars and deceptive experts with vested interests.

    I've learned to be most skeptical of the mainstream media.

    I watch NBC often, and have seen a steady stream of incredible appeals to emotion presented. Now it seems one of their "doctors" is a play actor.

    Just to be clear, the single best piece of evidence for your theory is that you are unable to find credible examples of experts that agree with you.

    I wish people wouldn't be so hard on themselves.

    But we have tens of millions actually.

    Useful idiots the lot.

    I think he means that Covid is "essentially a bad flu," in the same way that 9/11 was a, "bad day to fly ...".

    Seriously? That's the basis of your conspiracy theory? That some smart people saw this pandemic as a possibility and tried to prepare for it?

    Do you also believe that COVID-19 was invented by liberals and deliberately spread around the world?

    The CARES Act, aka Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019, was used as a shell for the CARES Act that Trump signed in March 2020 in order to be in compliance with the Origination Clause of the Constitution. The content of the bill and the name were altered before it was passed. Originally, it included $500 billion in direct payments to Americans, $208 billion in loans to major industries, and $300 billion in Small Business loans. This was not a left wing conspiracy.

    And neither was this:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4996883/

    "The ultimate objective of such research is to better inform public health and preparedness efforts and/or development of medical countermeasures."

    Of course Dr. Fauci would have been involved. It's his field of science, ffs.

    Got anything else? Or shall I start with the complete incompetence with which Trump and friends have mishandled this emergency?

    Not really.

    1) Yes. But there is no evidence that the research caused the pandemic.

    2) “The history of the last 32 years that I have been the director of the NIAID will tell the next administration that there is no doubt they will be faced with the challenges their predecessors were faced with”

    And he was correct.

    3) "Users on social media are using this image to hint at a possible conspiracy that the government was predicting the 2020 outbreak of COVID-19 as early as January, 2019. The claim on social media, however, contains inaccurate information and is missing context."

    You guys are flailing blindly.

    We are running about 800 a day right now and it will probably go up a bit in the next few weeks. That would put us on track for 250,000 by the end of the year. It's like turning an aircraft carrier. What we do today we won't see for a month and what we did yesterday will be with us for a another month.
