    That chart means one of two things if not both... covid-19 is being falsely attributed as a cause of death/illness in people this year... and/or... social distancing, hygienic conscientiousness and masks do actually work for minimizing the spread of infectious illnesses. Like I said, it might mean both.

    Also, there is zero doubt in my mind that social distancing works. I wonder how many infectious illnesses would be eliminated globally if every single living human quarantined for 2 months or something...

    For close to three decades, Knight said, he had not seen a doctor or taken any medicine. He mentioned that he had never once been sick. You had to have contact with other humans, he claimed, in order to get sick.

    When, said Perkins-Vance, was the last time he’d had contact with another person?

    Sometime in the 1990s, answered Knight, he passed a hiker while walking in the woods.
    This guy was a real life hermit for 30 years, with no human contact, and he reported having never gotten sick a single time during that period of time.

    All joking aside, it's probably both.

    That's not realistic for society though. If everybody totally locked down for two months for real no leaving the house, society would totally collapse for economic and logistical reasons. Not to mention starvation and eventual crime. It's just ****ing stupid to be afraid of this. Flu is gone because everything is being labeled COVID.

    Not to mention we're biologically programmed to be around humans. We produce hormones that make us feel good when we touch and interact with people in real life

    Living like warriorfan (recluse) isn't realistic for 99% of people

    The emotion of fear is very powerful. Sometimes it makes people want to hide.

    "You should've invested in Stocks!!!"

    Yea... that only reinforces the point that it was a bullshit power grab by the elite to enrich themselves. Every major company and oligarch has seen their wealth explode.

    The usual suspects, even the ones who claim to be economically leftist, will still convince themselves that is entirely coincidental. Theyre wired for Doublethink.

    Flu virus scary.

    So it goes.

    ...plenty of people are wearing masks and physically distancing to keep flu numbers down. There are still lockdowns in multiple states. All that keeps flu and covid numbers at bay. A lot more people also got flu shots this year than usual. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews...%3fid=74783195
