National Media Uses Fake News Photographs to Depict Beachgoers in Jacksonville, Florida as Violating Distancing Rules

Florida imposed social distancing rules. The rules worked.

Now some cities in Florida want to begin relaxing the rules -- which should be something we're happy to see them do.

If the goal is to stop disease, that is.

If the goal is to put the country into an economic depression from which it might literally never recover, just to beat Trump in November -- then you'd agitate against any move to open a city back up.

Florida has beaten coronavirus, in all but one area -- Miami Dade. A city which just so happens to receive a lot of visitors from plague-riddled New York City.

But apparently the rest of Florida must observe Miami Dade's lockdown rules, just as Montana must observe New York City's lockdown rules.

And by the way: I think we'd love that. New York City, the biggest hotspot in America, is exempting itself from the rules it demands for counties in which only a dozen people have had coronavirus.

But back to Florida.

Because the national media wants to destroy the economy to win an election, they immediately began attacking Jacksonville and its mayor for reopening beaches.

They were so determined to pressure Jacksonville to shut its beaches (despite New York City not closing its own parks) they began running fake news pictures of the beaches, trying to show they were dangerously clogged with people.

But to accomplish this, they resorted to trickery. They used telephoto lenses, usually used in sports in order to make things far away seem closer, to contract together people who were in fact separated by a dozen yards of distance.

Compare the shots of the same patch of beach, at about the same time, when taken with normal lenses.

We *did* take this seriously, and it has been successful. But you cannot expect people to continue living like that forever.

Local news just posted, responding to the outrage by national media outlets of Jax beaches partially reopening, an expose of how their photographers played perspective games with images. Two photos below from same area/time (note the pier) https://t.co/tppm6wZJGR pic.twitter.com/GRpWyVcXNq
— American Journalists Publish Chinese Propaganda (@JohnEkdahl) April 20, 2020

It's not just John Ekdahl noting this deliberate photographic deception. Local news outlets have had to explain why their photos show people fairly far away from each other, while the photos from the national media show them breathing down each other's necks.

The media is so invested in provoking an unnecessary-but-politically-useful depression that they're wishing death on Trump supporters just for... observing the current local rules about social distancing.

And of course that sourc*nt bitch will face absolutely no professional consequences for wishing death on Americans. Because wishing death on Americans is patriotic if you're a leftwinger looking to win an election.

This psychopathic broken bitch's "apology" consists of her (or xer) claiming to have not, in fact, offered the wish that the virus "thin the ranks" of Trump supporters.

We call all read it, even though she deleted it. She's just telling you not to believe your lying eyes.

The same sociopath media that is always attacking Trump for refusing to admit his errors refuses to admit its own errors. The closest they come is gaslighting like this.

May the devil take them all to hell.

And may coronavirus thin their ranks.

but every once in a while, I think "shit, maybe they do know exactly what they're doing."

A more paranoid fellow might think they're purposely juicing the polls even more thinking that will discourage Trump from doing more pressers since he pays fairly close attention to them.

Now come on, parse this carefully and talk to your lawyer. Of course you do not say "the CHINESE!!! created this Virus!!!!" Almost none of the "The CHINESE!!!" had anything to do with it.

What you DO say, and which is in complete compliance with the DOD guidelines, is that "according to the best reports Covid-19 first appeared in a Biological Laboratory in Wuhan, China, and by an as yet unknown mechanism, escaped into the wild from that origin point."

Nationality's have nothing to do with it. Might have been some Pennsylvania Dutch running that lab as far as you know.

A Grand Rapids TV station got caught inserting footage from a right to work protest. Made it look more menacing, with state cops dressed in riot gear etc.

Their explanation: "This is 2012 file video that was misused. We did not air it again after that instance and we regret the mistake."

Yep, sure, no doubt.

204 actuallly good news today in Texas - not only are we reopening, but looking at the State Covid-19 Dashboard, it looks like we're finally getting the sustained drop in new cases per day and in attributed deaths per day that Abbott needed to keep opening up. We had peaked at 45 deaths per day (for the entire State), and are now bouncing around 18. As long as daily hospitalizations keep dropping, there's no worries about the health system being "overloaded".

It's just too easy for someone that's "deeply troubled" about Corona to continue to quarantine themselves. There's also no credible claims anymore that hospitals will be over run.

It's got a lot of race baiting but if you drill down enough you'll see that some NYCers are coming to Pennsylvania to make some money, and they aren't coming alone.

"The biggest employers in the area are the monster warehouses and meat-processing plants that fill up the industrial parks along the nearby Interstate 81 corridor. Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, these kinds of businesses have remained open, and are seen as hot spots for person-to-person spread.
The jobs have attracted a second wave of Latinos to the Hazleton area, some of whom commute in from New York City perhaps the epicenter for coronavirus in America - and then stay with friends or family here. Many of these workers are forced to carpool to work each day."

As I mentioned here before, I'm near an aggie part of CA, and the Mexicans here are carrying on and apparently exempt. A popular watering hole for them has not closed, parking lot is full. All the shops and restaurants up and down the street have shuttered. But, this gets ignored because they don't know any better, right? They're the same in the markets - no masks - and ignore those X's on the floor and the arrows in the isles.

Luckily I haven't had to go to the ER, but assume it's as overrun as it is on any other day in 2018. Colicky babies, grease burns, toothaches and stab wounds.

I think they are counting them the exact same they count flu deaths.

If you get the flu and have an underlying condition get what it says you died of? People keep saying the CCP virus numbers are inflated because of underlying causes. Ok so are the flu numbers.

And no, I do not believe the number coming out of a 3rd world country mostly run by drug cartels. I think they are wildly undercounting but we shall see.

Well, I guess my point is that I think if no one had "identified a unique coronavirus" this year in China, our flu deaths would look a little worse then average, but no one would have really noticed anything different.

Which is probably what is going on in India and the rest of the third world. Slight uptick in people dying of flu-like diseases, but nothing super noticeable.

Yeah, I looked in to this a while ago to see if we were truly comparing apples to apples with the coronavirus numbers.

Flu cases are determined by running statistical models, in combination with various flu testing and reporting, as well as death certificates. The numbers are plugged in to a model and adjusted for how "bad" that years strain seems to be, and we get our best guess as to the number of flu cases that year.

Which is... probably good enough.

But also makes it hard to have any real confidence in those numbers when comparing them to covid-19.

I don't know about that. Most people who show up at the hospital with the flu only show up at a hospital because they're really really sick, the hospital puts them on anti virals, and if they develop secondary bacterial pneumonia, they get put on antibiotics and potentially a ventilator.

Which is... pretty much exactly what we're doing for covid-19, no?

They estimate how many people have the flu each year. They only test those bad enough to get checked into the hospital.

Easy to get numbers on flu deaths because they have the body and the tests.

Right now they are listing skydiving fatalities as covid because they might have had it.

No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avator and its seal - the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.

Posted by: Kilroy wasn't here at April 20, 2020 08:03 PM (2DOZq)

Was this addressed at me?

I'm saying we don't have exact numbers on any of this stuff. Recording a cause of death in a 92-year old who came in the hospital with the flu, but had type two diabetes, clogged arteries, liver disease, developed pneumonia while in the hospital, then died in her sleep is kind of difficult, no?

Does her death go down to the flu? Pneumonia? Heart failure? Liver failure?

They don't usually do autopsies on people that age. Even if they did, what would it show? That she died because she her heart stopped? Did her heart fail because of her pre-existing condition, in reaction to the drugs she was put on in the hospital? Because of a disease?

And deaths aside -- we always estimate the overall number of cases, which makes it difficult to say with any confidence that H3N5 or whatever "kills .89% of those infected" since we don't know how many were infected, beyond an educated guess.

I'm just saying that none of this is really an exact science.

How many for Covid 19 ? Why so quick to down play the H1N1 compared to Covid? I see you didn't do your calculations for the age and health of the other fatalities.

453 "Florida imposed social distancing rules. The rules worked."

I would not assume causality between the decline in cases in Florida (or anywhere else) and social distancing. Karl Denninger at The Market Ticker blog has thoroughly documented how the number of new cases in Florida was falling before the lock down orders were put in place. He suspects that based upon this data we are several generations into this virus and much closer to herd immunity than our professional governing class will admit.

454 The greatest whores of the left, espouse the highest virtues, and the most shamelessly. Could even the blindest man not see it in Biden and Pelosi ? These are the End Times, and the wicked are fanatical saints of false virtues (ABOMINATIONS). Is it unnoticed than when opportunities present themselves they savagely attack Christians, even the right to assemble....Basic American liberty acknowledged since our early days.
