Airborne or Not, Chinee Virus Is Over With

Earlier, we mentioned Scare Tactic #243:  it's airborne and YOU WILL DIE!!  Or maybe YOU WILL KILL GRANNY!!!!

But probably not.  This from Wittkowski (banned by YouTube and HT Grim):

...On 17 April, Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, presented data at the coronavirus presidential briefing at the White House. And there was one plot that he presented. And I looked at it and asked why people were not jumping to their feet. Why were people not understanding what they were looking at? The plot was the data from the ILINet. For 15 years, hospitals have counted every person who shows up with an influenza-like illness – fever, coughing, whatever. There were three spikes in the 2019-2020 flu season. The first was in late December – influenza B. The next was in late January – an influenza A epidemic. And then there was one that had a peak in hospital visits around 8 March – Covid-19. For the peak to happen on that day, those patients have to go through a seven-day incubation period and then have symptoms. But they do not go to the hospital with the first symptoms. If it gets worse over three days, only then do they go to a hospital. 

Four weeks later, on 8 April, the number of new infections was already down. In time for Easter, our governments should have acknowledged they were overly cautious. People would have accepted that. Two weeks’ shutdown would not have been the end of the world. We would not have what we have now – 30million people unemployed in the United States, for example. Companies do not go bankrupt over a two-week period. Two months is a very different story. If you have to pay rent for two months for a restaurant in New York with no income, you will go bankrupt. We see unemployment, we see bankruptcies, we see a lot of money wasted for economic-rescue packages – trillions of dollars in the United States. We see more deaths and illness than we would otherwise have had.

And it is going on and on and on, just because governments are afraid of admitting an error....
Trump won't admit an error, of course.  (That's for you idiots who think I never criticize Trump.)  But neither will Doc Fauci, the CDC, nor Scarf-Lady (although she's making noise like someone who can actually read the charts.)

Locally, it's clear that Hall-Monitor Evers and Choo-Choo Tommy cannot read charts at all.  Where do we FIND such 'men'?
