Actually, they seems to be the bunch of pseudo-aristocracy with heavy ties with corporate elite, who pretend to represent the "different and often conflicting philosophies and streams of thought". Their actual actions since the end of Cold War became increasingly similar (actually, Trump was a first Republican for quite a long time, who could not be mistaken for Democrat).

To be fair, I do not need to search very hard to find american conservatives lying about something. In this case, so blatantly that the only proof Coulter offered for how "the media" lies to you about COVID is a chart showing the exact opposite of what she claimed it did; I am curious why you chose to ignore that.

Plus, I haven't seen you put forth any actual data that supports your claims. You say that "experts" say that Corona is less dangerous than it is being treated as being, but where's your proof? Who are those experts, and why should I trust them over the combined expertise of literally every respectable public health organization?

The data points you will need to explicitly and convincingly debunk are COVID's mortality rate of around 3% (beating out all-time classics like the spanish flu by .6%) and its speed of transmission. As always, feel free to convince me that reality is less bad than it seems to be.

Well, you go right on believing the lies and hype and bullshit. It's what you're best at; after all, you Believe in communism, the lie that killed a hundred million people in a hundred years.

One of these days, you will actually find an insult or a fact that invalidates something I said. I believe in you. You can do it.

When it's over the world will see who was right.

Yes. And it will be me.

But we both know you won't believe that to be the case; if everything works out right, the measures taken now will blunt the impact of the disease so much that, in total numbers, its impact won't be that heavy.

Just like back in 1998 when people woke up to the Y2k problem, spent thousands of hours and billions of dollars on fixing things, and everyone in 2000 wondered what all the fuss was about since "obviously" nothing happened.

"Yeah, that Wu Kung Flu 'pandemic' back in 2020 was batshit crazy. The virus killed a few thousand; the blind stupid hair-on-fire panic killed a hundred thousand."

Please point out on the balance sheet where the economic downturn hurt you.

I dont think Coulter was lying as much as not doing her homework. I have seen well ediucated, nonpartisan people attempt to minimize it. My opinion based on the Worldmeters information is that the Covid / China virus has a lethality rate at least an order of magnitude higher than the common flu. The lethality rate increases by another order of magnitude if the epidemic is so severe that the healthcare system is overwhelmed.

As of this writing, the total number of deaths are trivial compared to a normal Flu season. If every case now confirmed died the fatalities would be not much worse than a normal Flu season. We are looking at only 1 / 20,000 of the population. However; if the number of people infected with the Covidvirus continues to grow exponentially for another few months, it will be ugly.
