Really? So you are saying the Democrats would have done better. Well, let's fact check that. All of the Democratic nominees were still on the campaign trail, doing their rallies, having their debates, and shaking hands all the way into early March. CNN and MSNBC were all saying this was just a nasty flu, Bro. No big deal.

Well, the Democrat governors would have been better, right? Really? What preparations did they make in California and New York? None. Now, they are begging Trump to send ventilators and they are where some of the worst of this virus has spread. So I call bullshit on you. The fact is the ENTIRE Western world was caught flatfooted by this. Why? Because China hid the true scope and scale of this thing for a long time and they mismanaged their own response and then spewed propaganda. Even now, does any sane person believe the Chinese numbers just stopped on a dime at 80K infections? It's total bullshit.

And here's another fact for you that historians are going to write about. The coronavirus is no more deadly than the seasonal flu. In a very real way, this is a hoax. It's going to be written about as the Mass Hysteria of 2020. The reality is that 2/3rds of the people who have died would have died anyway from some other illness. I read that yesterday from a doctor who did a study in Italy. So this is nothing more than a more infectious flu with a death rate that is similar to the flu.

This hysterical closing of the world economy will have far more reaching consequences for the millions of middle and lower income classes who simply don't have the wealth to ride this thing out with severe damage to their economic well being. We are destroying millions of lives to save people that likely would have died anyway. This is lunacy.

In addition, we are spending $2 trillion in stimulus and $4 trillion in QE from the FED to prop up an economy that would have been fine without that money, if we hadn't used autocratic means to shut it down unnaturally. This whole thing is a giant mistake.

Someone needs to tell you to take the red pill. You are wrong about everything.
