Ok go ahead and say the quarantine worked .

I never missed a day of work.
stock piled food.
enjoyed the empty streets & cheap gas.
we had a few symptoms in the work place, its flu season.
All in all its just life in paradise.
go to work share the love with my costumers.
I would have loved to stay home & save the world...
my job was deemed essential. "construction"

multibillion dollar corporation.
"hey our corporations run this country".

Only in America can I deliver building supply's to make someone's house pretty while their in quarantine.
we were all very nervous at first ,did not want to take it back home to our family's.

To keep our sanity while running from something we cant see ...hey at least we still have a job.
my wife's still nervous when we go to the store...

I reassure her I can bring it home just as easy as her catching it at a store,im out there everyday.

My old man used to say if a hoppy toad had wings he would fly.

ill say tell your children...if the government would have shut down the borders in January lived off our reserves nothing would have had to close.
Russia said it best every nation for them self.
It didn't happen that away now more people are depending on our Government just the way they like it.

Jay it's safe to say it's been proven that our " Quarantine " did very little to nothing .

Dude you've got a long way to climb in the intellectual department if you think "it's been proven" that the social-distancing and strict isolation methods used around the World haven't been effective. If you want to claim something is well and truly "proven" you're going to need to bring forth a little more than just your own unintelligible rambling... have any links to published studies or at least articles that support your claim? I hope you didn't think we'd just take your word for it.

There's way more actual verifiable evidence that indicates it's not only working, it's working very well and faster than initially expected (at least in places where the great majority aren't selfish idiots). Yes the virus is very infectious and is able to spread to the far reaches of the planet, all it takes is 1 person. That's just more proof the strict "quarantining" was/is necessary.

The problem is some of those people could be asymptomatic and unwittingly spreading it and because of their recklessness people that are immunocompromised and the elderly would be in grave danger.

Imagine how much quicker we could flatten the curve if people could follow the advice of doctors and scientists instead of blowhards like Trump who if it were up to him would have everybody acting like there is nothing to worry about.

Look at Boris Johnson who was bragging about continuing to shake hands and not adhering to social distancing, he is in intensive care with the virus as we speak.

Trump has never said it is nothing to worry about. If anything he is way way too convinced it is super deadly.

Incorrect.

Wow, what an extraordinary example of denial..crazy.

The thread title should be "Selfish assholes unite"

It seems to be a fairly consistent mindset amongst a certain segment of society.

For sure, and I guess it always will be.

I understand "some" of their scepticism, no excuse though.

No kidding!.."safe to say"..seriously???

a reply to: asabuvsobelow

Woah sounds like somebody got ahold of trumps February talking points.

The reality is that it is working. But there are people that still think the earth is flat.

So I need to provide proof but you dont ? The entire planet is flattening out at the same time and its accredited to the Quarentine, Not just the natural life of the virus?


The Spanish Flu killed over a half million Americans over 600,000 and thats with a Quarantine.

Covid-19 has killed 18,000 in America, and some of those we mis-reported as Covid-19 deaths , It has been admitted that people were being marked as dying from Covid-19 if they tested positive for the viruis and passed away regardless of what the true cause of death was. This Quarentine was pointless I say again POINTLESS .

You mean the same footage of Italy they changed the saturation and said it was NYC? How much trust does that instill in you all is being accurately reported?



a reply to: Agit8dChop

Yeah I think the social distancing thing was probably enough for most people. If you're high risk you should probably stay at home. But shutting down the economy for this was pretty much pointless you know I have 300 + million people even if the death rate was 1000000 or 2 million that's still probably less than auto accidents every year I would think

I'm not making the outlandish claims and proof of what I'm saying is available everywhere on any of the tracker sites where you can see a break down of the numbers and time frames in various forms (charts, graphs, tables, etc). Your claim that the entire planet is flattening out at the same time is simply not true -- and that's what I'm asking proof for. Have you actually looked closely at the graphs, such as the ones that 'MonkeyBalls2' posts every day on the 'Updates' thread?

www.ft.com...

Different nations are at very different stages, some are still climbing steeply, some are just starting to show signs they're leveling off, while others are clearly on the down slope. It all depends on when the outbreak really started for them, how long it took for them to implement strict social distancing measures (and exactly what measures were taken), and how effectively their populations are following the rules. Not to mention a whole range of other factors such as population density, state of their medical system, etc.

What is plainly obvious to anyone who looks at the graphs/charts, is that there is a clear and obvious trend that sets in after a certain amount of time from when the strict measures were ordered/enforced/followed.

They will attack you for not simply towing the line. They can’t entertain the possibility they are wrong or have been told any falsehoods from the powers that be, it would crush them.

I think it’s pretty laughable the number of folks here on a conspiracy website who scramble to follow the “correct” rhetoric and squash any questioning of that narrative.

Don’t ask questions, trust the news media, politicians, scientists never make mistakes.

DO mistrust your neighbors and family members, we have momma government to take care of us now (except trump is bad, we need a scapegoat). a reply to: asabuvsobelow

It’s quite plain to see looking at these charts (assuming all data is accurate and there’s no manipulation of any kind taking place) that this is not the correct response for such a benign virus.

Have you seen this years flu numbers? Does it surprise you there are 0 flu deaths this year? Is it not worth noting CDC guidelines for reporting covid death allows for “reasonable suspicion” to label a death as from covid? It’s obvious to many there’s reason to ask questions...

I know three people that have died. I know one in critical condition and one with mild symptoms. Two that died were younger than me. I’m not chancing anything, staying home.

And that's totally fine! You are responsible for your own health and decisions! You don't need the government to mandate businesses and houses of worship close by decree to take common sense precautions!

a reply to: OGMechDaddy

Over Six million die each year. Auto accidents only account for around 350,000 a year. Regardless, we don't put policemen manning roadblocks to save those people by closing the roads.

There are sobriety checkpoints.

Just saying.

No, it's quite plain to see looking at these charts that the strict social distancing rules/lockdowns have been effective in mitigating what could have been a far deadlier virus than the flu, had nothing been done.

My claims are no more outlandish than yours , What because you show me a chart from the" financial times " I'm supposed to cow down and admit your right.

Get outta here with that crap you may as well put a link up from the washinton post , here is a link www.worldometers.info...?

That is raw unadulterated data that clearly shows the world is flattening out give or take a week country to country , and your so called Quarantine was a joke. Air travel, public transportation , grocery stores , gas stations , were all still operational this whole time. The only thing they made us stop doing was work and going to sporting events , this whole thing was one big over reaction , you and everyone like you just ate it up and preached doom , and praised the quarentine saying millions could die.

Anyone capable of true free thought could see this was a joke from the beginning , one good thing came from all of this though it exposed all the sheep here on ATS.

How is it clear ? Its not like we were able to Live through Covid-19 with out the Quarantine and then Live it again with the Quarantine to see how the two compare .

This Virus was not deadly enough to warrent the over reaction it recieved, so it's plain to see that something was going on behind the scenes and a fair amount of people on ATS were duped by it and now your just trying to save face that is what is plain to see

Germans are looking the transmission of covid-19

So far, no transmission of the virus in supermarkets, restaurants or hairdressers has been proven," explained Bonn virologist Hendrik Streeck on the ZDF Markus Lanz talk show.

Look`s like someone has been giving disinformation about covid-19 transmission .....but hey, of cource they need good excuses for lockdowns

Also, unconstitutional. Tell them you don't consent to detention, and most departments will wave you right through. Some lawyers have print out cards to hold up to the window.
