I take a black joy in the fact that the curve still isn't remotely "flattened"; we just sorta stopped talking about it and got on with our lives.
Ironically enough, now is the time we should be talking about it.
The dread diseases Unknown and Suddenly are both ravaging the world, and no one cares.
Heck, in some parts of Canada, Unknown is the leading cause of death. In other parts of Canada, the leading cause of death is Canada.
Is it really unknown or are they playing dumb about sudden deaths from the clotshot?
I mean, why do you think they call it unknown? Definitely the latter.
Only 1500 days to flatten the curve. We can do it guys. Trust the science.

Based John Boorman appreciator.
March 16, 2020 was one of the darkest days in American history. It changed everything permanently for the worse.
It was ironically also the day that Trump ensured his own defeat in the 2020 election that year.
Without open federal support for these COVID lockdowns, there would have been no room for any swing states to change the mail in ballot laws.
States run their own elections entirely. They wanted mail-in, they got it.
Even if there weren't federal programs to pay for rent and support lockdowns, even if the democrat controlled states didn't lock down, they still would have done mail-in "because covid" when their real motive was "anything to stop Trump".
Many swing states like AZ and GA had GOP governors and also GOP state legislatures and states like WI and PA had GOP majority in the state legislatures.
No fucking way they could push mail in ballot changes if they didn't have the federal COVID guidelines as cover to do so.
Trump could have prevented most of these mail in ballot changes if he just resisted the urge to listen to Fauci and Birx.
He was afraid of the media roasting him.
This poor decision cost him and the country dearly.
They were never-Trumpers though, they wanted Trump gone.
What specifically could the Federal government have done to prevent those states from doing mail-in elections?
You will call anyone a never Trumper to absolve Trump of any responsibility.
The AZ, GA, WI, PA legislatures are not fully comprised of never-Trumpers.
This is the biggest copout I have seen in a while.
Trump could have fired Fauci and Birx and got a competent public health scientist like Jay Bhattacharya instead to issue alternate guidance.
GOP states only locked down because the GOP President recommended it.
It stings your dick to accept reality that Trump is responsible for screwing himself and the country over.
Did you not notice how many election rules they completely disregarded in 2020?
They weren't going to let a lack of federal guidelines stop them.
Pure conjecture
Not even conjecture, it just isn't true. At the very least in the case of my state of Ohio, DeCuck was so eager to lockdown he beat most democrats to the punch.
You're back in your imaginary hypothetical world again. "What if the person I'm arguing with would call anyone a never-Trumper? Then I win the debate! Yay!"
You talk about reality, go live in it. DeSantis isn't a never-Trumper and there's plenty more that aren't. These people we're talking about have Tweets from his first election that literally say "never Trump" or to that effect.
You should cool your TDS, its really not helping. Right wing Obama also locked down Florida.
I am so sick of Trump cultists like you calling any criticism of their hero as TDS.
Learn to accept reality.
Learn to accept the reality of a hypothetical? Federal did support lockdowns, and you're reality is based on "what if they didn't". You've got a theory, not a reality.
You are denying the reality that allowing federal guidelines calling for lockdowns sealed Trump's fate.
It is not a theory. They would never be able to implement mass mail in ballot changes without the federal guidelines as cover.
You refuse to accept that Trump made a dire mistake and he and the country paid a heavy price for it.
There is no theorizing here. It is clear what actually happened and it is clear what could have changed things.
Trump's fate was sealed the moment he won the 2016 election. If he bucked the initial lockdowns, it wouldn't have changed squat. I have no doubt they were ready to kill him if necessary.
This is the correct take, they didn't cheat as much in 2016 because frankly they thought they had it in the bag.
Everything since that moment has been damage control from the Uniparty, which tends to be majority Democrat.
It's funny because they cheated as bad or worse in a different way. There were mass assaults Trump supporters at Trump rallies and on voting day.
Then we would have a martyr, and that would help us more than the loser that Trump is now.
Yet you react the same way they do about DeSantis
You have zeal much closer approaching a cultist than any pro Trump poster on this board. I agree with many of your points, but when I see yet another raving anti Trump or pro DeSantis post or comment, I give the same eye roll when I notice the username is yours as I do when I see a post ranting about women and see that it's Imp. And you have the nerve to flip shit calling anyone who offers even slight pushback an orange man cultist.
You could have just stopped there. Boom.
My wife and I got married March 20th, 2020, before I left the state for a job. The intent was for me to stay with my folks while training and get a house, then move the family down.
It was a good idea at the time, but then the next week Illinois shut everything down gov't wise. My wife could change any documentation showing g that she got married, and it made it hell to get new IDs for months.
Anyway I just wanted to chime in and say that lock downs were fake and gay. Fuck any idiot who unironically thinks that we never should of stopped.
I lounged on the couch working from home for maybe four days. After that I just ignored all their contrived nonsense and got on with my life.
Did enjoy the lack of traffic, though. Having a whole office building to myself was pretty neat too.
I have oddly fond memories of having an entire office building to myself as well.
After a few days I started sneaking out to play board games every other day
Fact check: We never said it was Earth days.
When you see Trump supporters mocking "15 days to slow the spread" -> 🙄
And I see that OP is already dealing with the cultists/shills who will make make every excuse in the book for his presidency.
