It was sarcastic, but the brst part of every political joke is that someone believes it.

@LukeAlmighty

Early in the pandemic, right-wingers were claiming the death projections of 100k-240k by August 1st even *with* lockdowns, which were being used to justify the lockdowns, were fake news and based on an assumption that COVID was deadlier than it actually was.

Candace Owens is one example I remember claiming this. Jesse Kelly is another.

I forget the exact number, but it ended up being right in the middle of that range. They certainly don't predict the future as well as you seem to believe

@dave
Don't worry, I was pro lockdown too, but that was BEFORE it became a global virus.

But I changed my tone as soon as it became inevitable, that the virus will stay. (It spread out of China)

So, I want talking about the earliest of early opinions, because back then, we realy knew nothing.
