They label patriotism as fascism just to protect their communism.

Don't try to force us to renounce our paramilitary groups; you'll never succeed. 😉

👍

Is there truly any circumstance in this life that isn't addressed within the pages of these divinely inspired works?

What are your thoughts on the latest hit?

Twenty out of twenty-one counties report zero infections, yet people are still traveling between them without passes? I guess it makes sense.

Disgusting. Just disgusting.

against everything they claim is false, we must answer with the strength of song 🤷

What do you think of the latest hit?

I haven't caught it on the radio yet.

comments 🙏:

hey you empty-headed people, while we were all comrades, the money at home was a million higher! just wait for Corona to settle down and the next million will come flying in! then we can really squeeze the guy at the local station!

it goes on and on.....

dammit, I used to have certain sites blocked in my browser, I'd have to figure out how to set that up again.

Look, Stozer, stop stirring the pot, Papi.

I see they’re already cleaning out the Arena. They haven't even filled half the hospital beds, yet they spent all this time brainwashing us about a total collapse. 🤣

That was just a contingency plan in case we faced a scenario like what happened in Northern Italy, since nobody actually knew how fast the virus would spread. Is it better that we didn't use the Arena at all, or should we have had it ready just in case? We prepared, but we didn't end up needing it. So what's there to complain about? That we weren't ready?

Nobody on this planet has even come close to hitting their capacity limits. New York, which they love to call the epicenter of the outbreak, basically sent us a floating hospital ship because they had no use for it. So, what does that actually mean? It means we aren't just talking about some random virus anymore—we're looking at the situation in Italy and Bergamo.

People will mock just about anything these days just to get some clicks. The Arena was prepared for a worst-case scenario that thankfully never happened. There’s nothing wrong with being ready.

For me, the real issue isn't the venue—it's the shady business involving Sljeme and all that wasted money spent on preparations there, only for them to move the whole operation to a different location anyway.

I’ve been keeping an eye on that COVID tracking site, and for about ten days now, the number of active cases has been stuck right around 1.9 or 2 million. Meanwhile, the recovery numbers are climbing steadily. That means most countries have either slowed things down or actually turned the tide.

America is completely screwing the whole thing up; over there, things aren't calming down at all. It looks like the situation is massively improving in the countries that actually decided to relax their restrictions.

Look, give us a break, alright? Those of us who were screaming for a totally different approach right from the jump finally get a chance to laugh our heads off. And hey, there aren't even that many of us left to make any noise about it 😉

The Arena was honestly a brilliant move in my eyes, just like setting up those massive tents and that whole situation with the oxygen tanks or whatever they were using for the ventilators. Back then, you could tell people were actually making decent calls and the prep work was solid, which is exactly why they managed to pull such massive public support right out of the gate. Where they really tripped up was that whole chaotic mess regarding the masks, and honestly, the fact that we haven't fixed the issue of insufficient testing is a mistake that still hangs over us today. But yeah, that’s basically how the kickoff went.

Well, at least they’ve finally stepped up their game with the testing lately. Over the last two weeks, they’ve massively ramped up capacity. Now, they’re running about 1,500 to 2,000 tests daily across the country. That brings us to 37,000 total so far.

I suppose they aren't actually testing everyone arriving from abroad, but rather just pursuing a policy of self-isolation. It’s almost as if there is still a lingering suggestion that you might bring the virus in, based on the assumption that our streets here in the States are perfectly pristine while things are supposedly messy elsewhere.

Did they actually go through and test all the nursing homes?

🙏🙏Check this out—absolute madness. 🙏

😂😂

Was that why the pavilion in Madrid was built and used at almost full capacity? Because there was no need to fill up hospitals? They sent a hospital ship because the pressure on New York's medical facilities eased up, and thank God, there's no need for its use. You can go to hell, along with anyone else acting like a typical "general after the battle," laughing and pretending to be brilliant. You're idiots. Look, you're in power, facing a pandemic with zero credible scientific research on how exactly this thing spreads, the extent of it, how it affects the human body, or what variables increase or decrease transmission. You don't have precise data on enough variables to create an exact formula—something 100% effective at stopping the pandemic in your country while minimizing economic damage. So, based on limited information, you make decisions to protect public health. You take expert recommendations, look at the limited experience of other countries over a tiny window of time, weigh models ranging from best-case to worst-case scenarios, and make what you believe is the best call. And lo and behold, the government implements precautionary measures to prepare for the absolute worst. Now that the peak of the first wave has passed—hopefully—comes the flood of fools mocking the government and the response. Leading them is that pig Šprajc, acting smart with his little jokes while everyone bows down to him like he's a genius. His entire logical deduction boils down to this: if someone goes on a mission to Africa and gets vaccinated for yellow fever, typhoid, and hepatitis A and B, then finishes their tour and returns healthy, people mock the decision to vaccinate by saying, "See? He didn't even need it." What a moron... 🤣 It’s easy for you, you clown Šprajc, and the rest of these forum jokers to laugh at the measures because, in the end, only 75 people died in the country. But nothing is easier than playing general after the war is over. It's a good thing neither you nor any of these people are in the position of making life-altering decisions during crises, or you'd be screwed, and there wouldn't be anyone left to laugh about it.

Joseph Clark37 was stung ☕

You're wound up tight, Joseph Clark37. Look, I don't need to play the war hero after the battle is over, because honestly, everything I’m saying right now is stuff I was shouting at the start of this whole mess. And I'm definitely not the only one—if we're looking back at what went down on Reddit, it was me, Tijs, Papi, and Jessica Gonzalez all saying the same thing.

Let's just stick to the facts for a second. Forget the "what ifs"—what if the virus was deadlier, what if everyone caught it, blah blah blah. If we're going to live in a world of hypotheticals, then fine, let's just wait around for the next pandemic in ten years and stay locked in quarantine; might as well be prepared, right? God forbid. But when you look at how other countries handled things? It’s pretty obvious there were other ways to play this.

The average age of those who died from Corona in the US was 79.2, according to what Beroš reported today. Generally speaking, the average age of death here in the States is around 76.5.

We're looking at a total economic collapse and a 10% drop in GDP. That's being optimistic. In reality, it's going to be way worse. And it's not just happening here; it's hitting everyone. This is the fallout from pure madness.

I found this interesting graph, straight out of California, since Americans basically live and breathe stats and numbers. It’s a shame we’ll never see that kind of transparency here; I bet all their projections just vanished into thin air, kind of like that support rally for Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović.

The sound of a heavy splash echoed through the air
The sun dipped beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean
There was nothing but the rhythmic sound of splashing
The sun went down, and then night fell.
