Stop The Lock-Downs - Join 5 States That Refused to Implement Stay-at-Home, Closed Schools and Businesses (Source)
At the time of this post, FIVE STATES REFUSE TO IMPLEMENT STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS AND LOCK-DOWNS - Another 3 states have issued only partial orders -- The 5 states with no stay-at-home orders and 3 states with only partial orders are not experiencing higher than average rates of Covid-19 infections compared to states that are on full stay-at-Home orders. You need to ask your local officials and State representatives why your state is on unconstitutional lock-down when CV-19 Czar, Anthony Fauci claimed in a NEJM article, that Covid-19 is no worse than a seasonal Flu.

Covid-19 Czar, Anthony Fauci Now Regards COVID-19 More Like Seasonal Flu
(1) Dr. Anthony Fauci Now Regards COVID-19 More Like Seasonal Infuenza.
The intial numbers that served as the basis for claiming an emergency pandemic were withdrawn by Covid-19 Czar, Anthont Fauci. In the New England Journal of Medicine artice, Fauci claimed (without remorse or apology) that the Covide-19 death numbers were in the range of seasonal Flu
(2) COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK
On the same day the Fauci article was published in the NEJM, math whiz Neil Ferguson admitted his models had severely overestimated the seriousness and mortality of Covid-19. (Source)

Policy of Lock-downs and Business Closures is a Case of “mass hysteria"
(Times of Israel) Isaac Ben-Israel, PhD says analysis worldwide shows new cases peaking after about 40 days, slams economic closures; leading doctor dismisses his claims.
A prominent Israeli mathematician, analyst and former general claims simple statistical analysis demonstrates that the spread of COVID-19 peaks after about 40 days and declines to almost zero after 70 days — no matter where it strikes, and no matter what measures governments impose to try to thwart it.
Prof Isaac Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program in Tel Aviv University and the chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, told Israel’s Channel 12 (Hebrew) Monday night that research he conducted with a fellow professor, analyzing the growth and decline of new cases in countries around the world, showed repeatedly that “there’s a set pattern” and “the numbers speak for themselves.”
While he said he supports social distancing, the widespread shuttering of economies worldwide constitutes a demonstrable error in light of those statistics. In Israel’s case, he noted, about 140 people normally die every day. To have shuttered much of the economy because of a virus that is killing one or two a day is a radical error that is unnecessarily costing Israel 20% of its GDP, he charged.
Ben-Israel said the figures — notably from countries, such as Singapore, Taiwan, and Sweden, which did not take such radical measures to shutter their economies — proved his point. (He also released a paper to this effect, with graphs showing the trajectories.)
He said the policy of lock-downs and closures was a case of “mass hysteria.” Simple social distancing would be sufficient, he said. (Times of Israel)

Iminent Mathematician, Knut Wittkowki, Warns Herd Immunity is More Effective Than Lock-downs and Avoids the Disaster of Economic and School Closures.
As with all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity.
"About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children. So, it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible, and then the elderly people, who should be separated, and the nursing homes should be closed during that time, can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about 4 weeks when the virus has been exterminated"… (aier.org)

Sweden is showing that the destructive lock-downs were unnecessary
It’s been four weeks since most states, including Florida, issued stay-at-home orders and violated Constitutional rights to free assembly, free exercise of religion, and protection against unreasonable seizures without due process. State and local politicians hid behind recommendations from federal epidemiologists who incorrectly claimed lockdown was the only solution to avoid overwhelming hospitals and having hundreds of thousands of deaths. We know the models were wrong, dropping from over 1 million deaths to roughly 60,000 deaths (the IHME projection of 240,000 deaths, later revised down to 60,000, already assumed social distancing).
Now we have sufficient data to confirm the lock-down did not affect the rate of infections. (More)

Rising unemployment causes higher death rates, Yale researcher shows
YALE: In the largest study of its kind on mortality patterns in Europe and the United States, a Yale researcher has found a direct correlation between unemployment and mortality.
The study showed that high unemployment rates increase mortality and low unemployment decreases mortality and increases the sense of well being in a community. Findings from the three-year study, commissioned by the European Union, will be presented to select members of the European Parliament and senior officials at a European Commission press conference on May 23 in Brussels.
