Biden’s 120 million dead from COVID: Where have the bodies been hidden?

From the horse’s mouth.

SUPER GAFFE-O-MATIC ’76! “Biden said Thursday. ‘Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.’ Wow! That is quite a pandemic, right?

What he meant to say, I hope, is that the death toll as of Thursday was 122,000 according to Johns Hopkins…

The way the press has kowtowed to Biden so far in the campaign, they may as well be paid staffers.” [He’s their man]

Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines, and it all makes sense.™

Will keep that in mind.

The Buffalo scene prior to elderly protester being pushed and falling and suffering concussion

A few days earlier, mayhem.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Tuesday, June 2 , 7:56 p.m.

A Buffalo woman has been charged in connection with the incident that injured three law enforcement officers Monday night.

State police arrested 30-year-old Deyanna Davis

NY woman driving vehicle that struck officers during ...

after she was released from Erie County Medical Center.

Davis was driving the car that went through a line of officers at a protest on Bailey Avenue hitting three officers, seriously injuring one.

Davis is facing multiple felony charges including aggravated assault on a police officer and criminal possession of a weapon.

She and others were setting the scene for three days later, when the elderly peace activist walked into the riot squad in full display, with God-knows-what on his mind, finding them in no mood to stop and argue with him.

On the other hand, some things AP left out of its bad-news morning roundup

From the even-Steven Wall St. Journal:

Good news: A new study finds that the novel coronavirus has become less lethal over the past few months. While there’s no evidence that mutations are making the virus less deadly, treatments have improved enormously as scientists have learned more.

Doctors have observed that the coronavirus case-fatality rate seems to have decreased considerably since the early days of the pandemic. But a pre-publication study from Italian universities and local public-health authorities comparing the case-fatality rates in two provinces (Ferrara and Pescara) during March and April is the first to show this might be true.

From International Business Times:

An infectious disease expert from Italy who fought long against COVID-19 claims there might no longer be a need for a vaccine since the coronavirus that causes the disease appears to be losing its virulence. SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is the virus responsible for COVID-19.

This surprising optimism was voiced by Professor Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious diseases clinic at the Ospedale Policlinico San Martino in Genova, Italy. Bassetti claimed COVID-19 has been losing its virulence over the past month, and added patients — even the elderly — who would have previously died from this highly-infectious disease are now recovering.

“It was like an aggressive tiger in March and April but now it’s like a wild cat,” he pointed out. “Even elderly patients, aged 80 or 90, are now sitting up in bed and they are breathing without help. The same patients would have died in two or three days before.”

Same story many places, here’s from The [UK] Sun:

CORONAVIRUS is getting weaker and could die out on its own without a vaccine, according to a top Italian doctor.

Professor Matteo Bassetti said he is convinced the virus is “changing in severity” and patients are now surviving coronavirus infections that would have previously killed them.

He described coronavirus as once an “aggressive tiger” of a disease, which has now weakened and turned into more of a wild cat.

If his ideas are true and the virus is weakening, there’s a chance COVID-19 could disappear without a need for a vaccine.

He has continually said that in recent months, patients with the virus seem to be handling it much better than they were at the beginning of the global pandemic in Italy.

It’s a world of “it seems” this virus time around. Alleged experts not all on same page. It seems.

Professor Bassetti suggests that the strain of coronavirus could be mutating and becoming weaker, making it less lethal.

He also suggested that improved treatments and more social distancing could be the key to why people are handling the virus better than before.

So keeping your distance remains a valuable caution. Which for some of us some of the time is just fine. Solitary walks are what some of us do anyhow, depending on our neighborhood.

Chinese bishop detained again in campaign of harassment

A saint in the making, one would think:

Chinese authorities have arrested an ailing 70-year-old Catholic bishop, forcing him to continue the illegal detention that he has been undergoing for the past 13 years.

Bishop Augustine Cui Tai, coadjutor bishop of the underground church in Xuanhua Diocese, was taken away to a unspecified place on June 19, local Catholics told UCA News.The diocese is based in the northern province of Hebei, near Beijing.Bishop Cui has been detained since 2007 without following any judicial procedure. He has only been allowed to return home for a few days during festivals such as the Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Pretty much thrown under the bus by the present Pontiff, one would also think.

BLM Founder, Soros Institute ‘Expert’, Called For ‘Opposing Capitalism’ . . . Colleague Admitted ‘We Are Trained Marxists’

In case you were wondering . . .

Black Lives Matter founder Alicia Garza – listed as an “expert” who’s “guiding the work” of George Soros’s Institute for New Economic Thinking – called for movements to “oppose capitalism” at the organization’s 2016 conference.

These . . . comments follow Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors describing the group’s Marxist influence, proclaiming:

“We actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular, we’re trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super versed on ideological theories.”

The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) is the brainchild of progressive mega-donor and social justice financier George Soros. He’s also the group’s largest donor, funneling at least $50 million to INET since its inception in 2010.

Soros is also a major Democratic party and donor frequently branded as a “globalist” – and rightfully so. As The Guardian notes:

What do George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Ulysses S. Grant. Father Junipero Serra, and Christopher Columbus have in common?

These iconoclasts are either dumb or evil. In any case twisted.

None was a Confederate general. And all have had their statues torn down by mobs in the last few days, or, in the case of Roosevelt, had New York’s Museum of Natural History announce that a Roosevelt statue at the museum’s entrance will soon be removed.

As for iconoclasts, they have a history.

As for law enforcement:

The mobs ripped down statues in Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and other cities without any fear of police interference. The police might as well have been defunded, for all they did to protect America’s historical monuments from vigilante violence.

Awful.
