We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
@wintermute_oregon @Mango #COVID19 wasn't an emergency.
I do declare it was. I was activated back to active duty due to the emergency. We also shut down the United States for several months.
We can debate if it was the right course of action, but it was an emergency even if it was inflicted.
@wintermute_oregon ehhhhhhhh a 1% death rate doesn't equal an emergency in my book. I get that people were scared, but still, cooler heads should prevail when it comes to government leadership
It's easy to decide these things from the other side of history. At the time, when very little was known about survivability, transmissivity, etc, it was absolutely an emergency.
