Imagine the panic our medical overlords, hand-wringing politicians, and a complicit media could create if they started treating the common rhinovirus like they are treating COVID-19 right now. For starters, maybe they change the name to something super-scary sounding, like COVID-20 (shudder). Then they start shouting from the hilltops about how deadly this thing is. To prove it, they start a massive ultra-sensitive testing regime whereby anyone with a scratchy throat is gaslit into getting a test, for which tens of thousands a day test positive and are subsequently quarantined for weeks. Finally, anyone who tests positive and dies, no matter how old or how sick they were and, if they recovered, no matter how far after recovering from COVID-20 their death occurred, is included on a daily “death count” that is published and reported on in every major media outlet seemingly every hour of every day. Given the infectivity and stubbornness of highly contagious respiratory viruses as well as the natural tendency of elderly people to die, this “death count,” and particularly the "case count" would literally be unending and probably reasonably steady for a long period of time, if not forever.
Obviously, you don’t have to imagine the panic that would ensue and the severity of the response, because we’re experiencing it every day of this 7-month-old dystopian nightmare, and there’s no end in sight. I outlined the scenario above because, as you’ve probably guessed, we could play that game with most any highly contagious virus, no matter how lethal or benign, and still just as easily convince Joe Biden to hide in his basement with his face muzzle wrapped around his eyeballs like a mummy.
Granted, COVID-19 is more dangerous overall than a common rhinovirus, especially to certain high-risk groups who by now know to be extra careful. But it’s also LESS dangerous than the flu to most others, particularly children and younger adults. Still, it’s difficult to know right now exactly HOW dangerous it is because we simply can’t trust their numbers, much less anything else that comes out of their lying mouths.
Remember the brouhaha over the news that only 6% of those who die with COVID-19 actually die FROM COVID-19 alone, that 94% have some sort of comorbidity in addition to the virus? Now, people on our side made a lot of hay over this, and I’ll admit some of it wasn’t entirely fair. A 55-year-old with asthma who dies after contracting coronavirus, for example, obviously should be listed as a COVID death, and it’s unfair to suggest otherwise. However, when we’re talking about cases like the 89-year-old who died in Milwaukee this month of “COVID-19” according to a death certificate that also lists dementia, hypertensive & atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and chronic renal failure, it begins to strain credulity. Or how about the 91-year-old female who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dementia, or the morbidly obese 76-year-old with chronic renal failure, diabetes mellitus, and asthma?

This kind of Barney Fife reactionism isn't simply pesky, IT IS DANGEROUS.
If we play out this medical "Peter and the Wolf" plot, it won't be Government Peter that is eaten in the future, but The People, by a real Covid-wolf let loose by a Bill Gates. This criminality must be addressed for an example, like the Nuremberg Trials have been to would-be tyrants.
I hope my metaphors were useful.
