78% Of Americans Are Willing To Pay More For Non-China Made Products; Poll

Posted on by gerd

Note: To conceal that their products are made in China, many manufacturers have simply removed the line “Made in China” from their product labels, leaving only the statement “Distributed by xyz-company, abc-state USA.” However, where the distributer is headquartered does not tell you where the product is made.

If your company is registered, let’s say in Wichita, Kansas, and you import widgets from China, you can label them as “distributed by Your Company, Wichita, Kansas, USA”, which misleads some consumers to assume that these widgets come from Kansas. If you want to avoid products made in China, you should only buy products that actually say “Made in the USA” (or “Made in [another country you trust]”).

Even New York Is Fed Up With Continued Lockdown. NY Post: “End It! Now! All Of It!”

Posted on by gerd

New York governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio are continuing the shutdowns and ruining the state and America’s once most vibrant city. Despite the goal – preventing hospitals from being overrun – long having been over-accomplished.

While a few people initially seem to have missed the bait-and-switch tactic of tricking them into compliance by requesting a two-week break to “flatten the curve” and then keeping them under house-arrest for months with ever-changing goal-posts, many now realize they have been lied to, and their lives ruined in the process.

As the Post fittingly writes: “In mid-March, we were told we have to endure a lockdown to ensure that hospitals didn’t get overrun. We did. The hospitals were not overwhelmed. We turned the Javits Center into a hospital. We didn’t need it. We brought in a giant Navy ship to treat New Yorkers. We didn’t need it.

We were told we were moments away from running out of ventilators. We weren’t, and now the United States has built so many, we are giving them away to other countries.”

Nearly 10,000 Tennesseans have already recovered from the Wuhan-Coronavirus

Posted on by gerd

As of May 18, 2020, there are less than 300 Covid-deaths in Tennessee. This is despite the fact that every death with other causes is being counted as a Covid-death, as long as the person tests positive for Covid or had Covid-like symptoms.

Put into perspective, Tennessee has a population of roughly 6.5 million people. Antibody-tests suggest that up to a third of the population has already been exposed to the virus and the vast majority recovered with little or no symptoms. This could mean that up to two million Tennesseans already had contact with the Wuhan-Coronavirus and now have Covid-immunity. With 295 deaths attributed to the virus, this would mean a lethality of 0.00015% – a fraction of the lethality of other common diseases, such as the flu.

This also means, that even if every Tennessean, who has not yet had contact with the virus, would get infected today, i.e. the entire population at once, Tennessee would still have sufficient hospital capacity to treat every Tennessean suffering from complications.

Hence, there is no longer ANY justification for ANY Covid-based restrictions in Tennessee, be it closings of churches or businesses, such as bars, limitations of gatherings, or demanding people wear face-masks or stay a certain distance apart from each other.
