When citizen reports and then hard data began emerging last week indicating that Covid-19 patients were not in any way overwhelming hospitals, we wondered what sort of new bunkum the Lugenpresse and the cronyvirus promoters would concoct to support their false narratives.
As I reported on Monday, the number of ventilators utilized missed the projection by a factor of 40-fold. The ICU segment of the Covid-19 fraud was overblown by six-fold. Total beds by eight-fold. Meanwhile, the number of deaths from pneumonia this season have plummeted across the U.S.

I shared this data on Twitter, and it didn’t take long before a candidate for Congress one Richard Thripp responded with a tweet. Among the trippy quips Thripp lobbed, he some how evoked holocaust denial into the debate. Oh well, that settles it then, Sherlock – trumps actual data every time. This man sounds well suited and booted for the kakistocracy. Incidentally and just sayin’, I’m far too much of an anti-authoritarian and pacifist to be a proper right-winger. So you talkin’ to me?
However, attached to his ad-hominem, sucker-born-every-minute declarative was the go-to source for all stooges and sycophants: The New York Times (aka New York Slimes). And here we got the answer to our question about the newly revised, cover-their-ass narrative. First my reply, and then a look at the article. Yes, would you believe it. The cronyvirus ill are assumed to be dying at home.
The New York Slimes lends a whole new meaning to Abraham Lincoln’s admonishment that no man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. This is what a candidate for Congress thinks will dispense with the plebs. Barking up the wrong tree. Here goes.
After warning earlier of a tsunami, The Slimes’ story fesses up to an entirely different outcome pointing to no hospital tsunami after all:
The number of virus patients in hospitals increased 4 percent since Monday, the fourth straight day that it had grown 7 percent or less after growing at least 20 percent a day for weeks. The number of patients on ventilators in intensive-care units increased, too, but at the smallest one-day rate in weeks, up 2 percent since Monday.
The Slimes fesses up again:
As of Tuesday, there were nearly 4,600 patients on ventilators in New York, far fewer than pessimistic projections in recent weeks had said there might be. In New Jersey, state officials said that about 1,651 people were in what they called “critical care” on Tuesday, up from about 1,500 patients on Monday. More than 90 percent of the patients in critical care, about 1,540, were on ventilators.
Winter Watch Takeaway
Even with the downgrade, these two states are 53% higher (6,140) than totals revealed in national data released by CovidTracker, which indicated 4,007 ventilators were in use nationally on April 7. The dots don’t connect- no combinam.
