If you really WANT
A strong comparison, with FACTS, from Off-Guardian.
The argument about "leveling the curve" is based on preventing hospitals from overstressing their capacity.
BUT: In
some places and
some years, the ordinary unbranded flu overstresses hospital capacity. The same thing is happening this year. Some cities are overstressed.
Most, including Spokane, are not. This is a typical situation.
The problem has needed attention for a long time, especially in places where the hospitals are constantly understaffed and underfunded. An occasional overload in
some places can be handled, provided the entire system is running smoothly.
BUT: We never addressed it by shutting down the entire country.
NOBODY EVER THOUGHT OF ADDRESSING IT BY SHUTTING EVERYTHING.
Shutting everything breaks supply chains and makes everything harder to accomplish, as people who work for suppliers and transportation gradually starve and die, and stressed-out people with inadequate food and sleep get sick and die of EVERY DISEASE.
If you really WANT overcrowded hospitals, breaking everything and creating starvation and stress is exactly the way to get there.
THEREFORE: Our dysgovernment really WANTS overcrowded hospitals, because it really WANTS to kill everyone.
