Why has the so-called "Greatest Generation" and subsequent generations let down their children, grandchildren, and future generations?

"The Greatest Generation is a term used to describe those Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and fought in World War II, or whose labor helped win it. The term 'the Greatest Generation' is thought to have been coined by former NBC Nightly News anchor and author Tom Brokaw in his book by the same name." --

All through American history, and probably throughout the history of mankind, parents and grandparents strived the make sure their children were better off than themselves.  This has always been the "American way" that I was taught from childhood.  Somehow, we have let our children and grandchildren, and future generations down when it comes to the ever-growing size of the federal government, deficit spending, and the astronomical size of the National Debt.

According to Forbes, the National Debt could be $78 TRILLION by 2028. At the time of the article, in August 2020, the National Debt was $27 TRILLION and projected to be $30 TRILLION due to the enormous amount of spending being done under the guise of #Coronapocalypse spending.  https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikepatton/2020/08/14/national-debt-to-surpass-78-trillion-by-2028-what-it-means-for-americans/

We are already seeing the Democrats pushing this new $1.9 TRILLION #Coronapocalypse spending bill that is above and beyond the already enormous annual national budget.  This could be the first of many multi-trillion-dollar spending bills during the first President Biden term.  Under President Trump, the #Coronapocalypse spending bills were under $1 TRILLION but that has already nearly doubled in Biden's first month in office.

2020 Death Rates Mirror Previous Years -- No Big Increase Related To Covid-19

I've written about this many times and posted on Facebook and other social media dozens of times but here are the total numbers of U.S. deaths by age group for 2018 and 2019 just to show that 2020 wasn't much different -- and incredibly, a slightly higher percentage of the 55 and over age groups died in 2018/2019 compared to 2020, even though 92% of Covid-19 deaths are for the 55 and over age groups.

But, just like in all the previous years, the age groups from 0 - 24 were a tiny fraction (<1%) of overall deaths just as they were a tiny fraction of Covid-19 deaths (<1%).  The below chart is an algorithmic scale and not a direct scale.  That is why the age groups from 0 to 24 appear to be a much larger percentage of the 85 and over group.  The 85 and over group are 13,450 out of 100,000 deaths whereas the 15 to 24 are 70 out of 100 deaths (see bottom scale). This algorithmic scale is also why the 85 and over group with 13,450 is not more than three times longer than the next group, 75 to 84, with 4,306.

The dark blue line is 2018 but you can see that 2018 and 2019 are basically the same.

85 and over = 13,450 per 100,000

75 to 84 = 4,306 per 100,000

65 to 74 = 1,783 per 100,000

55 to 64 = 886 per 100,000

45 to 54 = 395 per 100,000

35 to 44 = 194 per 100,000

25 to 35 = 128 per 100,000

15 to 24 = 70 per 100,000

5 to 14 = 13 per 100,000

1 to 4 = 24 per 100,000

Crunching those numbers, 20,425 for 55 and over out of a total of  21,249.  For 2020, the alleged deaths attributed to Covid-19 are 92% for 55 and over.  For 2018, 92% of 21,249 = 19, 549 meaning a higher percentage of people 55 and over died in 2018 than in 2020.  Of course, we do not have final numbers for 2020 so the comparison is based on preliminary data for 2020.

This next CDC chart shows that Flu Deaths are dramatically decreased for 2020.  Why?  Well, some experts will conclude that many of the alleged Covid-19 deaths were actually flu deaths miscategorized or re-categorized?  For 2020, all deaths involving influenza totaled only 8,906 compared to 22,000 to 61,000 flu deaths a year for the previous 10 years.  Some experts conclude that the flu deaths went down due to people wearing masks.  Other experts conclude that because the tests for Covid-19 were as high as 50% wrong, many flu deaths were simply listed as Covid-19 deaths.

#MockingTheMask Masks Do NOT Work Against Viruses

For a couple of months, I would jokingly post a picture of me wearing a pair of gray boxers over my head as a mask. I haven't worn a mask -- not even in the peak of cases back in mid-April -- and I didn't plan on wearing one now but the RINO Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng issued an order that people had to wear a mask inside of businesses.  Well, I had to stop at Walmart today so I brought along a pair of green boxers to wear as a mask. 

While driving around, I thought of the hashtag, #MockingTheMask, and posted my first #MockingTheMask as a Facebook Check-In.

Also, while driving around from job to job today, I heard an "expert" on radio news who stated that masks were designed to help prevent the spread of bacteria, NOT viruses. He said that bacteria were monumentally larger than viruses.  When I got home, I did a quick Google search and this expert was right. 

The eColi bacteria is GIGANTIC compared to viruses in the image. The bacteriophage is also a virus.

This is what a virologist wears to protect themselves from viruses.

This is what a surgeon wears to help prevent the spread of bacteria in an operating room.  Some surgeons do not wear this much protection.

If you are a big pussy for the mask, here's one just for you!

New England Journal of Medicine article also says that masks are symbolic measures and over very little to no protection -- https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372

#Coronapocalypse Daily Update - June 24, 2020

#Coronapocalypse Daily Thread, June 24, 2020

Just because people test positive for Covid-19 does NOT mean they are getting sick. Over 80% of positive cases are very mild to completely asymptomatic. 15% have mild to moderate symptoms. 5% are hospitalized.

The average age of deaths is 72. 92% of deaths are people over 55 and 85% are over 65. Upwards of 60% were people in nursing homes, senior care facilities, and hospitals, with preexisting health issues.

The overwhelming majority of people without health issues have had extremely low numbers of even testing positive or getting sick.

The death rate is barely 5% of the original projection.

In other words, it has been severely overhyped and fearmongered -- and it's pathetic how so many otherwise intelligent people are acting like complete dumbasses over this.

I almost forgot -- 2.8 million people die every year in the U.S. That's 7,671 deaths a day without Covid-19. Covid-19 may actually lower the death rate this year, especially in the under 65 age brackets.
