Once they crack those borders open, we’re opening ours too—it’s as simple as that. There isn’t really any deep strategic thinking going on over there; you can't really outsmart the Germans when it comes to this stuff.

That is certainly true, but we aren't the only ones in the equation. Most other member nations are likely to take the exact same path.

BEROŠ IN CONGRESS TELLING REPRESENTATIVES THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS WORKING 'Most people dying from covidom in America are dying with the virus, not because of it'

Honestly, give it to them, they really know how to spin it 🙏🙏🙏

They have become completely lost in their own web of falsehoods. 🤦

Joseph Clark37 said:Most people here probably spend more than 36 minutes a day scrolling through news about Covid-19 on various media outlets. In that light, watching this video is actually a much more productive use of time. Like I said, if you want to watch an informative video from experts with real-world experience fighting pandemics—rather than our local officials who only have theoretical knowledge prior to this outbreak—then go ahead. If not, feel free to just keep following Beroš...

Even he is stating that masks should be worn, which, when you step back and look at the logic of it all, is perfectly reasonable. ☕

A big thumbs up to the app and the entry requirements for the country. 👍

Anthony Jackson2 said:Give me the short version—nobody has time to sit through the whole video.

To be clear, I didn't share a three-hour lecture here; it's a concise nine-minute clip. 🤷

He is addressing topics that you simply won't find being discussed in the mainstream media outlets.

An examination of the perspectives shared by Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi regarding Covid-19.

Trump is far too intense 🤣

He, a man who hasn't spent a single day working in the private sector, has the audacity to label everyone else incompetent. It’s honestly infuriating 🙏 I have to wonder what kind of alternate reality those people inhabit.

Amanda Evans2 said:It honestly feels to me like everyone is just desperate to find proof that this thing is dangerous.
As of right now, only one person in America has died from this disease—the same disease that has already cost quite a few of my friends their jobs.
And let's not forget that some people passed away simply because they couldn't get proper medical care, which is something I've mentioned before.

The mortality rate for people in the 20-30 age bracket is about 0.2 percent. Of course, you're going to run into someone here and there who falls victim to it, like that Spanish man with leukemia...

If my memory serves me correctly, it still hasn't been officially confirmed that the death was due to Corona? Or perhaps I have missed an update?

Has anyone actually received a response via email or a callback from the FEMA emergency management headquarters in Washington, D.C.? 🤦

vividranger8 said:Maybe we should actually do something about those irresponsible folks, right?

In order to actually address irresponsibility, the police force needs to fulfill its fundamental duties first. It is, quite frankly, much easier to simply issue a blanket ban on everyone and toss out vague, half-baked restrictions, only to then hand out penalties based on whoever happens to be feeling particularly strict at any given moment.

And yet, there are still people out there offering their unconditional support for this approach? 🙏

electricbadger89 said:Exactly.
I asked, I called the FBI, we even tried through some connections—nothing. No chance.

They only rush emergency documents; residency permits aren't on the priority list.

And for what reason might that be?

If this were directed toward me, I would certainly disagree.

Roger Gray27 said:I could use some advice here. I've been out of Washington, D.C. for a few days now, staying at a friend's place out in the country. We're just hanging out at the house—not going anywhere at all. My permanent residence is back in the city, but I took public transit out here to visit. I don't have a car, and there aren't any bus routes running. Honestly, I’d prefer to just stay out here until this whole thing blows over, but I'm worried about getting hit with a fine. Thanks, everyone...

You should simply head over to the local office with your friend to register your temporary residence there. Once that is done, you can rest easy. Honestly, you are likely fine as it is since you aren't wandering around aimlessly, but if you truly want total peace of mind, just update your residency status. It is a process that takes mere minutes to complete.

brightpilot6 said:All things considered, I was absolutely terrified. Looking back now, the worst part only lasted about ten seconds, though it felt like a grueling five minutes.

The psychological toll of that second, weaker tremor was actually worse; it was that same creeping dread you feel sitting in a dentist's waiting room when you hear the drill start up and you just sit there waiting for the pain to hit, knowing it's inevitable.

During the first instance, I wasn't entirely cognizant of the full scope of what was happening because the sheer suddenness of being jolted awake left me disoriented. However, this second episode caught me completely off guard, striking with a force that felt almost physical. In all my years, I have never experienced such an overwhelming surge of pure dread, terror, and absolute helplessness.

As my father often reminds me, we should all feel incredibly fortunate that this incident occurred today under these specific circumstances; frankly, I wouldn't even want to contemplate the potential fallout had something like this unfolded during a standard workday.

urbanhawk17 said:Exactly.

For now, we can really only talk about hospitalization rates. It’s true the Corona death rate jumped from 3.4% to 4% in about ten days, but it’s still lower than the flu (and honestly, hospitalization counts are the only thing that matters right now).

Claiming Corona is 30 times more lethal is just irresponsible, even if it comes from Vekjo.☕

@Jacob Kern2 makes a good point. We should probably isolate the elderly and keep them from going out. I guess Vučić is actually right on this one.

I find myself genuinely wondering how this landscape will look in a month's time, once people realize that all these lockdowns might prove nearly futile against a virus that refuses to vanish. The scientific community seems largely in agreement that we cannot simply eradicate it, often citing the necessity of herd immunity, yet we continue to shutter everything in sight. One must consider the fate of the thousands who will lose their livelihoods, or the emergence of secondary health crises triggered by extreme stress and economic hardship—issues that could ultimately leave the most vulnerable without even a roof over their heads. All of this stems from a virus that, according to current projections, may only reach about 20% of the total population, many of whom will experience nothing more than mild symptoms.

It is easy to play the strategist once the dust has settled, but considering the massive amount of revenue the United States will undoubtedly lose, I believe we would have been five times better off if we had allocated a portion of those funds toward supporting the seniors who need to stay home. We could have invested in delivery services for food, water, and medication, or perhaps even provided temporary housing for those living in multi-generational households until the situation stabilizes.

To me, this mounting hysteria feels increasingly like Sladoljev was right, much like when he voiced his skepticism during the swine flu era. If we hadn't branded this specific illness as "coronavirus" and given it its own unique identity, it likely would have slipped under the radar just like dozens of other viruses that have historically been lumped in with the flu.

In an effort to combat the spread of Corona, Mexico has implemented an "absolute curfew" from 8:00 PM until 5:00 AM alongside restrictions that prohibit anyone over the age of 65 from leaving their homes in urban centers and those over 70 in rural areas. Furthermore, starting today, the military will assume responsibility for border control and providing security for hospitals.

I believe the bolded portion of this report represents an exceptionally wise strategic move. This demographic constitutes our most vulnerable population, and they simply must act accordingly. Just yesterday in the city, I observed that nearly 90% of people over sixty were out and about, showing a complete disregard for the gravity of the situation. While the entire nation grinds to a halt and citizens face the loss of their livelihoods, they continue their routines—heading to the local market, boarding streetcars, or visiting doctors for routine checkups—acting as if none of this applies to them. 🙏

This is precisely how we should have handled things here in the States. At the onset of this crisis, there should have been clear, multi-level communication across all sectors of society. We needed to repeatedly emphasize, almost like a mantra, the necessity of responsible behavior and the vital importance of minimizing social contact to the absolute bare minimum. For everyone else, we should have allowed life to proceed with some semblance of normalcy; because if the scientific assessment holds true—that perhaps only 20% of the population will contract the virus and experience symptoms—then these measures aren't just extreme, they suggest that someone is playing a very dangerous game with our lives.

- This illness is going to spread; we all know we can't simply stop it in its tracks. There are no borders or weapons that can halt this. Our only recourse is through our immune response—what you might call a natural process of public acclimation—which will stifle further transmission until the virus eventually burns itself out, he remarked, noting that collective immunity will inevitably strengthen as more people recover from COVID-19.

He further suggested that while epidemiological agencies lack the power to dictate the movement of the virus, they do have the capacity to manage mortality rates.

If that is the case, then what is the actual purpose of quarantines and shutting down every single business in sight? It seems quite clear to me: it serves no function other than bringing an entire continent to its knees through treasonous maneuvers that dismantle our own economy and destroy our entire social infrastructure.

Patrick Martin said:So, what I'm hearing is we've got the sports package (Madison Square Garden + ESPN) on DirecTV, but now the Champions League is just... gone? Like, totally off the menu?

Precisely. 🤣

To actually view everything worth watching, you find yourself forced to subscribe to both VIP and DirecTV simultaneously. It would be a minor miracle if some other provider didn't jump into this fray and fragment the market even further. 🤦 It is sheer absurdity and quite frankly, predatory. Nothing less.

I suspect this kind of convoluted mess is unique to the way things are handled here in America.

DirecTV - Madison Square Garden - UEFA Europa League, Italy, and France

VIP and DirecTV - ESPN - Spain and England VIP

VIP - dedicated programming for the LP.

You slaughter 800 people and then have the audacity to label such an action as the rule of law or a functioning democracy. 🤦 California 👍

Who might this lady be? 🤔

Does anyone know where I might go to exchange a damaged banknote? 🤷 It seems I’ve hit a bit of a wall; neither the Treasury nor the Federal Reserve, nor even a few of the banks I visited—including OTP Bank and Goldman Sachs—are willing or able to facilitate the exchange. 🤷
