| When 2-year-olds are thrown off planes, you know America has changed |
| 2020-12-15 |
| [WND] You may have seen the video of the family thrown off a United Airlines airplane because the 2-year-old daughter would not wear a mask. Though the family wore masks and the father promised to cover his daughter's face with a mask that he placed on her face, it made no difference. Though the child was completely asymptomatic, and though it is exceedingly rare for a child to transmit COVID-19 to an adult — that is why Sweden kept its schools open all spring and summer, with its students not wearing masks — the airline had its orders, and the flight attendant duly obeyed them. As I watched the video, I wondered what the flight attendant thought. For example, did he think this was absurd, not to mention cruel? Did he know that 2-year-olds present virtually no health risk? Did he wonder why adults can sit without masks inches from other passengers while eating but a 2-year-old seated only next to family needed a mask? Or did he think he was performing a noble service in kicking a family off an airplane because their 2-year-old wouldn't wear a mask? I hope he thought he was enforcing an idiotic rule and had no choice. Then there is hope for him and for America. Otherwise, he's an irrational automaton, among the scariest people in any society. |

| #18 2018 legal abortions were at 630,000. That's about the average every year. And we worry about COVID.... |

| #14 #13 You might want to look this up - before talking. Also look Japan & S. Korea stats: cases/million (1440 & 21) & deaths/million (865 & 12). The corresponding numbers for USA are 51,094 cases/million & 929 deaths/million (almost 1/1000). p.s. If you look at stats of covid deaths by occupation, you might be surprised. |

| #13 g(r)omgoru, can you explain why Japan and South Korea are having spikes despite both earning gold medals for their lockdowns? |

| #11 From the original WND article: So, while the CDC is adamant children under the age of 2 must NOT wear a face mask, a child who just turned 2 constitutes a mortal danger to others on the plane – and must be ejected from the plane if she just won't cover her face. Welcome to America 2020. |

| #10 Masks not very effective study Infectionwith SARS-CoV-2 occurred in 42 participants recommended masks (1.8%) and 53 control participants (2.1%). |

| #9 And Bill Gates is pushing to keep the same ineffective measures, mask & lockdown, for the next year and beyond. |

| #8 Suggestion: Avoid using a Panic inducing CDC Running Total. Looking at the CDC weekly figures yourself. You should will see the C-19's initial arrival and spread, a typical growing infection cycle, then a decline with bumps here and there based on reporting issues, Social behavior,events and weather patterns. As we see the CONUS 2020-2021 Cold season arrive and the C-19 being a virus loving colder weather. We will see an increase and another peak in its cycle, before its decline. IF it follows a typical FLU/VIRUS Seasonal Pattern? We could see Peak Death numbers in January 2021. NOTE: My hope is the VAX does not have serious side effects, as it is now being induced into a real world environment with 5+ Billion variables. The next Generation will tell. |

Followed by a decline the following weeks: 11/28/2020 8,893 12/5/2020 3,892 12/12/2020 515 Comparing the C-19 Infection cycle to the Flu CDC FLU "TYPE" Virus Seasons typically (CDC-CONUS) "The exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May." SOURCE OF EXTRAPOLATED DATA: CDC C-19 DEATH DATA CDC FLU SITE |

| #5 It's a plague of misleading stats. Lockdown and masks don't work. They just make things worse by adding a false sense of security to those at risk and a false sense of panic and wealth destruction to those not at risk. |

| #4 In a population of about 360 million. It's not the Black Plague I was promised. That took about a quarter of Europe. It hasn't even been up there with the Spanish Flu. And the reporting? Up there with the vote count. Classifying those who died with the Covid along with those who died of Covid. It is a serious disease, people are dying. It's just turned into a 'Chicken Little' scenario for power. |
