Tucker Carlson: Big Tech is using coronavirus to increase its power – and the US is becoming more like China. Big Tech censors dissent over coronavirus lockdowns
Big technology companies are using the COVID-19 tragedy to increase their power over the American population. Effects will last for many years. That’s all from the lockdown.
As we fight this virus, we are becoming far more like the country that spawned it. We’re becoming more like China. It’s horrifying. In the name of fighting the coronavirus, tech companies are now following you through your cell phone. They’re watching you from above with drones. Those sound like paranoid fantasies; they are not. It’s happening as we speak.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News chief foreign affairs and senior Washington correspondent: How do you feel about the drones?
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.: Look, at this point, we need to save lives and it’s really important that in public spaces, people are abiding by the directives.
Dr. Erickson told reporters: “Do we need to still shelter-in-place? Our answer is emphatically ‘no’. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically ‘no’. Do we need to test them and get them back to work? ‘Yes, we do.’’’
In a press conference, he said that out of roughly 5,000 local patients tested for the coronavirus, a few hundred were positive, or, about 7% of local population, indicating a widespread infection similar to the flu.
Dr. Erickson also claimed that social distancing could be a health hazard. “We understand microbiology. We understand immunology and we want strong immune systems. I don’t want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system and then come out and get disease,” he told reporters.
