    Yes even though it's true I'm wrong to focus on that because it's not the foundational source of the evil, and it does distract from where the real conflict exists.

    The Epstein Lolita Express flight manifests have been out for a long time, it's 112 pages

    I grabbed one of your unattributed image clippings at random, checked in to it, and fond that you have been punked. Or are doing the punking.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/norways-institute-of-public-health-did-not-say-covid-19-is-as-dangerous-as-the-idUSL1N2R30WH/

    "Norway has not declared COVID-19 a disease “as dangerous as the common flu”, the country’s health authority has told Reuters, in response to a claim made online. 

    A Sept. 23 article from a conservative media website, Free West Media, claimed in its headline that Norwegian authorities had reclassified the disease. The first line of the article reads: “It has now been decided to treat it like other respiratory diseases, such as influenza or the
    cold virus, because according to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health it is no longer more dangerous than these” (archive.ph/9hlLT). 

    Social media users have since shared screenshots of the headline and first line of the piece, which goes on to say the reclassification is a result of increased natural immunity and vaccination in Norway (here and here). 

    However, it is not true to say COVID-19 has been reassessed to be as dangerous as the flu, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) told Reuters in an email.

    The government agency said the claim had likely developed from a misunderstanding of comments made by its deputy director, Geir Bukholm, during a Sept. 20 interview with the Verdens Gang newspaper (here).

    In the article, translated into English, Bukholm is quoted as saying: "We are now in a new phase where we must look at the coronavirus as one of several respiratory diseases with seasonal variation ... because the vast majority of those at risk are protected.
    “And although the infection is still circulating, hospital numbers remain low.”

    The NIPH clarified to Reuters: "Our position, as stated in the news article, is that at this point in the pandemic we must start approaching COVID-19 as one of several respiratory diseases circulating with seasonal variation.

    "This means that the control measures that will be applicable for various respiratory diseases will require the same level of societal preparedness. This does not mean that illness from coronavirus and the seasonal flu are similar."
    Norway lifted all its COVID-19 restrictions on Sept.25 (here).

    VERDICT

    Missing context. Geir Bukholm did not say Norway would reclassify COVID-19 as the common flu.

    Trumps is a businessman. He's crafty and skilled but not that intelligent. About the only thing he's really good for is America first, but that's become compromised in his 2nd term by all the donations. The best thing he's done is shut down the 3rd world illegal immigration. Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.

    I'm not usually among the first to wonder "should this be moved to fhopol?" but that's what I'm starting to wonder.

    I don't generally object when a discussion touches on politics, but I haven't been seeing them descend into pure meme-flinging before.
