1) Follow the science, of course, unless the science conflicts with Orange Man Bad. 2) The virus only spreads at gatherings that affirm certain political narratives. 3) We were dumb to not be wearing masks for centuries every flu season apparently.
4) We can now cancel all vaccine initiatives because masks are superior. 5) Antibodies = immunity if it's for a vaccine, but antibodies = contagious if the patient's name is Donald Trump. 6) If lockdowns don't work the first time, try it three more.
7) Cases spiking during mask mandates can only mean we weren't wearing masks long enough. 8) Masks work even better if you remove them to cough and touch them a lot, as Biden has shown. 9) The best science rejects established laws/precedents of immunology/virology/biology.
10) Twitter mentions is where true epidemiology is practiced. 11) Every time Fauci was wrong or changed his mind was Trump's fault. 12) Birx has a future promoting Bedazzler: the face shield edition.
13) Doctors at Harvard and Yale are stupid morons whenever they say anything positive about #HydroxyChloroquine. 14) If not for a skilled governor like Cuomo, even more nursing home patients would have died.
15) Vitamin C and D serve literally no purpose. 16) Herd immunity is for kooks. And of course, we must stay inside until there's a vaccine that can bring us to herd immunity. 17) Theoretical studies are now superior to real-time data.
18) Open borders stop a dangerous contagion from spreading. 19) Best way to cure heart attacks and other ailments is to keep people away from healthcare. 20) If the data doesn't reinforce your narrative, just keep waiting two weeks.

The Rand Paul video is out of the Third World. A politician, who's already had Covid by the way so we actually need him breathing the free air, reduced to wearing a mask outside like its an Ebola plague. Meanwhile, he's tormented and threatened by an unruly mob of insurgents.
This used to be America. It's not anymore. I'm starting to think it may never be again.
And I can you assure you, if those responsible for pushing this violent and extreme Leftist ideology are incentivized with success this November -- it may not be.
They will be taught mobocracy wins. Spare me your opinions of Trump. I don't care if you don't like him, and neither do these insurgents. If you love freedom, regardless of your views on Trump, they are making it clearly they hate you. And they still will after Trump goes away.
This is my home state of Iowa, and this exactly what you want to see during a pandemic. This is how you beat it without a meaningful vaccine.
Those 40 and younger with the strongest immune systems are 54% of our cases, but only 2.1% of our deaths.
In fact, not a single minor has died yet in a state of more than 3 million. And we just finished the nation’s first high school sports season with over 700 teams participating.
Look at our CFR — 1.87%. That is outstanding, and precisely because we let the virus encounter the younger and stronger immune systems to weaken it — especially during the heat of the summer.
Little birdies tell me barring a miracle college football is not happening and financial apocalypse is coming. I’m told virus is the excuse, but it’s really university presidents afraid of players organizing.
The presidents fear putting the players out there with the increased liability entices them to organize, which the presidents don’t want because it goes against their “amateur model” canard.
The protest letter the Pac-12 players issued was the dagger. Momentum was favorable until then. But then other conference players followed suit. School presidents don’t want the players to unionize, and prefer risking financial apocalypse to risking their “amateur model.”
Imagine if they would've treated us like adults instead and said, "Right now we're trying whatever we can, and we need all the help we can get. We're learning on the fly here with a novel virus. So let's try wearing masks for 30 days and see if that helps."
I would've been like, "Hey man we're all Americans here. Let's see if it works to get this under control and our lives back. Only one way to find out, and none of us have ever seen anything like this before. There's no playbook for this."
Instead, we got an instant about-face memory holing of all actual science on this until about a month ago. When a media-driven cult politicized this to to the hilt, and made the mask its talisman. And you were scarlet lettered if you dare ask, "Hey what's the science on that?"
The US is approaching 31 million tests. 8% have come back positive, and that includes states like Arizona which are counting positive for antibodies as also a positive case.
5 times more people with symptoms have recovered than died nationwide. And since 43% of all deaths have occurred in nursing homes, where 0.6% of Americans live, the odds of recovery increase greatly if you're symptomatic and not in a nursing home.
The so-called hot spot of Arizona is currently reporting 1400 more people are hospitalized with Covid than 30 days ago. However, only .06% of its population is hospitalized and .009% of it population is in ICU with Covid.
