Brandon Extends National COVID 'Emergency'

2022-02-21

[Epoch Times]Herd immunity my ice cream cone!
President Joe Biden said the U.S. national emergency that was declared in early 2020 due to COVID-19 will be extended beyond March 1, citing what he called a "risk to the public health and safety."

In a letter released on the White House website, Biden told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that "there remains a need to continue this national emergency."

"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant risk to the public health and safety of the Nation. More than 900,000 people in this Nation have perished from the disease, and it is essential to continue to combat and respond to COVID-19 with the full capacity and capability of the Federal Government," he wrote, adding that his office has "determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared" almost two years ago.

#9 I think they will find most of us have been inoculated, just not in the way they were hoping for.

Let the games begin!

#8 Even more retarded: the latest strain is even less of a threat than the earlier strains. Delta's cases = about 48m. Delta's actual, 'with' not 'from' death toll -- Walensky definition ie ~10-20% of reported = about 100k.

That's a case fatality rate of about 0.2%.

The CFR for omicron is even lower: Omicron cases since November. 24, 2021 = 30m. Reported deaths 125k ie actual, 'with' not 'from' death toll for omicron = ~20k.

So the case fatality rate for omicron = 0.07%.

Put them together and you have what our best biostaticuans calculate is an actual CFR for COVID of about 0.15%.

IOW, seasonal flu. And for this we have seen our democratic Republic destroyed, our country trashed. SHAME

#7 Don't worry Joe. I'll hurry to get right on ignoring your stupid ass and "orders" as fast as I can.

#6 extend control over us proles

I can't speak for how they are doing with other people elsewhere, but here in Florida I have never tested positive, never gotten a booster (probably never will unless it's a matter of not being interned in a DHS camp) don't wear a mask anywhere at all and am never asked for documents related to COVID measures.

So, other than f*cking up the economy across the board, they arent controlling me any more than they were in fall 2019.

#5 Only numbers that really matter are "how many more people died since the advent of COVID than would statistically have been expected to die in that timeframe?" "How many more people have had adverse reactions to any vaccine in the time since the COVID vaxxes became available?"

#4 More than 900000 people in this Nation have perished from the disease

Shameless. Wretched, fvcking lies, repeated by American Pravda.

They're not even bothering to address what his own CDC chief admitted and what we've all known from Day One: the real number of 'from' not 'with' COVID deaths is a tiny fraction of their reported number. Walensky admitted that "the overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities."

Which means the real number of from-COVID deaths in the US through January 2022 is likely not more than 180k, max, and probably around 100k.

Annualized, this equates to a nasty flu season. Again, the CDC itself admits what everyone with an even basic understanding of hospital coding techniques saw from the beginning: this flu bug has only and ever been a threat to the elderly, the obese, and diabetics.

The authorities royally fvcked up in suppressing the rest of us -- most egregiously, in destroying our children -- and now, rather than admit their mistakes and gross incompetence, they're actually doubling down.

We're now firmly in Soviet territory. Official lies, blatant, obvious, for no other reason than to extend control over us proles.

#2 Fortunately, we still have enough 'federalism' that the states (and the people) can ignore a lot of the lust for power.
