Have to say, if it weren't for the innocents that they are going to make sick or possibly kill, I would say "the more, the merrier." I know they don't believe it or particularly care what I have to say, but still...

Your political bedmates are stupid, Kid and Ward.

"What's the strategy of the other countries?" he asked. "It [herd immunity] was already the only thing that will eventually stop this, unless there is a vaccine in time, which is quite unlikely.
"The truth is that no one, no one in Sweden, no one elsewhere either, knows what the best strategy is. Time will tell."
He said that he believed that stricter lockdowns "only serve to flatten the curve and flattening the curve doesn't mean that cases disappear -- they are just moved in time."
"And as long as the healthcare system reasonably can cope with and give good care to the ones that need care, it's not clear that having the cases later in time is better."



Yes (see bold).  Because it is NOVEL.

Except...

(a) We already know that Sweden's experiment failed (see prior posts for the evidence)
Sweden’s approach was a success.
Your marching orders are out of date. You can go back to hating those Socialists.

LOL.
Nice dodge.
No dodge. Trump undercut his minions again.

Peter Strzok blocked FBI from closing Flynn investigation after it found no 'derogatory information'


By Jerry Dunleavy
Washington Examiner
April 30, 2020 - 3:50 PM


Now-fired special agent Peter Strzok stopped the FBI from closing its investigation into retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn in early January 2017 after uncovering “no derogatory information” on the incoming Trump national security adviser, according to newly released records.

Emails later that month show Strzok, along with then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page and others, sought out ways to continue investigating Flynn, including an email from Strzok admitting that he wanted to use a defensive debriefing of Flynn as a “pretext," after the bureau moved to shut down the case.
The disclosures are among the trove of redacted FBI documents, emails, and text messages released on Thursday that have been touted by Flynn's lawyers as exculpatory evidence heretofore concealed from the defense team.

SQUIRREL!
Or.
Let’s not talk about the Obama KGB -
style FBI sham investigation of Flynn.

Sex the man dodging his president's failures, the terrorists in Michigan, the flawed reopening efforts around the country going against medical advice and the formula put out by Trump, and so much more.

Tell me again how these are not terrorists, Kid.

Heavily armed men have stormed the Michigan State House and are right now threatening the governor and the state legislature.

State police are protecting Governor Whitmer and preventing the gunmen from reaching the House Floor, but the armed "protesters" are in the House Gallery, shouting down at legislators.

In any rational world, these goons would be called terrorists and the Army would be engaging them right now. These are not protesters, they are the enemies of democracy and they should be treated as such.

or....maybe not


Oleksyk said it was a very peaceful protest, “they were chanting peacefully and that was it.”

State Police made one arrest, which took place outside of the Capitol, where one protester had assaulted another, Oleksyk said.

All protesters had dispersed by 5 p.m., as had most of the police detail that was there to assist with the crowd.

Not even close on either count, despite your president's egging them on.

The percentage who oppose the controls is less than half those who support it.

And... they're killing themselves off.

Looks to me like the Post posted an interview and a ton of other folks picked it up, but that WHO has done no such thing.

Here's part of why that might be:
