I never said it was.

I took issue with you describing this lockdown as something that is keeping people safe.

Why, it's almost like we have *no* historic examples of the efficacy of lockdowns during a pandemic... and what happens when you end them too early.

Almost.

Probably.

But it's more effective at making the point than, 'Republican Governor takes a swipe at the president over lack of Covid tests in Maryland by subtweeting'.
 
This hypocrite fits in so well with the rest of the GOP

I meant his tweet. The problem is that Trump is petty enough to deny/delay federal aid because of some BS like this.

Almost but you have the tiny problem that flu and the coronavirus don't kill people instantly after the get infected. There is about a 1-2 week lag. Which means you can shift that pretty graph over to the left 2 clicks. Which places the peak death rate as happening before the interventions took place.

So yes, carry on being a good little global citizen and believe the wuhan health organisation. Surrender all your rights. Clap for the NHS. Trust the government. Love the government.

LOL.

Do you think forcing people into poverty or further poverty is keeping them safe?
Oh right, you probably do because nothing is better than to have a country's population be completely dependant on government handouts.

Its easy for uneducated people to fall for the cult of personality. Theyre in a cult, they just dont realize it yet.

And that's the problem.

Simple education often fails, and folk need exit counselling to abandon the cult or... given evidence here... actual deprogramming.

Straight up shi.tting on the NHS for saving lives. Smh.

Carry on clapping.
If you don't clap you are a traitor to the cause.
Traitors that don't clap for the NHS must be publicallly ousted.

I mean it's not as if people working there get paid or anything like that.

As evidenced by some bootlickers on here who get so triggered they start threads complaining about the news being mean to Dear Leader.

Yet you simultaneously want the dear leader to lock everyone in their homes and restrict what goods and services they can and cannot buy.

And whilst the government is doing this, tell hem it is for their own good.

Like the Ramamessiah.
