    Yeah, Trump could be a nazi.

    Trump never told people to social distance, state officials did.

    Funny how simple health suggestions have taken on a meaning that has nothing to do with being safe. In life there are all sort of restrictions that are just good common sense, but somehow a virus in the modern world of whining people has become some sort of big brother control. One would wonder if these whining people wash their hands or bath or try not to spread their cold or flu to grandma? Do all the unsafe and unhealthy things you like, express yourself and your freedom to be sick or dead, but do it and stop whining like a child. But mommy Johnny does it....

    Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York says that it’s “shocking” to discover that 66 percent of new hospitalizations appear to have been among people “largely sheltering at home.”


    “We thought maybe they were taking public transportation,” he said, “but actually no, because these people were literally at home.”..snip~

    'Social Distancing' is Snake Oil, Not Science.....

    Very likely, you already instinctively know that the guidelines suggesting that it’s somehow helpful to keep a six-foot space between healthy people, even outdoors, is not based on science, but just an arbitrary suggestion we’ve been conditioned to accept without evidence.



    And your gut feeling would be right. There’s a reason that “social distancing” wasn’t a buzzword common to the American lexicon prior to 2020. There’s very little science behind “social distancing” at all.


    “It turns out,” Julie Kelly writes at American Greatness, “as I wrote last month, “social distancing” is untested pseudoscience particularly as it relates to halting the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. On its website, the CDC provides no links to any peer-reviewed social distancing studies that bolster its official guidance.”


    There’s a reason for the lack of peer-reviewed studies on the CDC website. She continues:



    The alarming reality is that social distancing never has been tested on a massive scale in the modern age; its current formula was conceived during George W. Bush’s administration and met with much-deserved skepticism.




    “People could not believe that the strategy would be effective or even feasible,” one scientist told the New York Times last month. A high school science project—no, I am not joking—added more weight to the concept.



    “Social distancing” is very much a newfangled experiment, not settled science. And, Kelley writes, the results are suggesting that our “Great Social Distancing Experiment of 2020” will be “near the top of the list” of “bad experiments gone horribly wrong.”


    But what the data have fleshed out, beyond the point of argument, is that the proximity of one human being to another has proven to be a very small factor in determining the impact of Covid-19 infections. What’s far more important is which human beings happen to be in close proximity of one another.


    According to Dr. Steven Shapiro and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center:


    Crowded indoor conditions can be devastating in nursing homes, while on the USS Theodore Roosevelt 1,102 sailors were infected, but only 7 required hospitalization, with 1 death. This contrast has significant implications that we have not embraced. Epidemiologic prediction models have performed poorly, often neglecting critical variables.


    Here’s another thing you likely already know. Politicians and the media are committing to damage control to hide all of these facts from you. In fact, finding any news relating to Dr. Shapiro’s somewhat revelatory comments online is, so far, quite difficult.


    That’s because, for the people who pushed “social distancing” and destroying the economy as an absolutely necessary evil, this is a matter of self-preservation. If this information were widely known, citizens might be more inclined to demand that schools and parks and restaurants and malls be opened. But if schools open tomorrow, without testing, and there is not a surge in hospitalizations or deaths, then the obvious question is why the schools closed in the first place. If restaurants and other shuttered businesses open without a spike in hospitalizations and deaths, then why did they ever close?


    There’s value in the media and government officials maintaining the public perception that the costs of “social distancing” have been offset by its benefits. But while those benefits are elusive in the data, and require mountains of presumption to imagine that they even exist at all, the costs of “social distancing” couldn’t be clearer.



    As Dr. Steven Shapiro concludes:
    What we cannot do, is extended social isolation. Humans are social beings, and we are already seeing the adverse mental health consequences of loneliness, and that is before the much greater effects of economic devastation take hold on the human condition....


    At this point, this is little more than common sense, and the truth can’t continue to be suppressed for much longer. It’s becoming more and more obvious that it’s well past time to take a more tactical approach to mitigation, as Dr. Katz suggested back on March 20, allocating resources and efforts toward protecting and caring for those most at-risk, and ending this soul-crushing and economy-crashing experiment with holistic “social distancing.”.....snip~

    As you can see those such as Midcan.....Lack common sense.
