It’s like a bomb went off in a restaurant that killed 100 people but later it was determined that most there had hypertension or diabetes/obesity and they died from comorbidities/Covid not the bomb.

This whole Covid 19 thing is beginning to smell like one great big “crock of sh**”.

Global psy-op of historic proportions. The “virus” was never proven out of Wuhan where they “tested” genetic extractions out of 7 ill persons. Broadcast Wuhan lockdowns and pop-up hospitals, then shift to super-polluted N Italy with lots of old people dying from all kinds of the usual toxic assaults there, and you have the SET UP. If we exit 2020 further away from global fascism than we’ve moved toward, New Year’s 2021 will have positive meaning.

It becomes more apparent by the day this whole virus thing has been blown out of proportion by and for political manipulation purposes.

It is not news to us that most Covid deaths had co-morbidities. The article states that, according to CDC, “Illinois has 7,175 deaths that mention COVID-19 as the underlying cause or a contributing cause of death…For 396 of those deaths, COVID-19 was not the underlying cause of death, but was a contributing cause of death.” So, net, 7175-396=6779 deaths in Illinois up thru Aug 15 were primarily due to Covid, according to CDC.

Not most, the overwhelming majority (94%). 396 deaths were from china virus alone. If you’re healthy, your probability of survival is just shy of 100%. Of the 396, we still don’t know ages but it’s likely the majority were elderly. What we do know is the other 94% were listed as a china virus related death simply because the virus was present at death (whether true or not). We also know the deaths on average involved 2.6 other significant health issues. We do not know if they died because of china virus yet they are listed as a china virus… Read more »

Of note, posting articles naming these stats on facebook will get them removed. Yes Facebook is now banning CDC stats, because, science you know.

So Pritzker’s grossly unscientific lie and desperate political action to crush an economy to smear trump has finally been exposed? Fatboy isnt getting reelected and he isnt going to be able to showcase the rennaiccance of Illinois for a presidential run. What will fatboy do in 2022? Reinstall his Astor St. toilets and sit on them?

Yet the whole state had to be shut down under JABBA and he refuses to open up.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
