Nashville Officials Concealed Low COVID-19 Numbers Coming From Bars And Restaurants: Leaked Emails

Via ZeroHedge

Leaked emails between the senior adviser to Nashville’s Mayor and a health department official reveal a disturbing effort to conceal extremely low coronavirus cases emanating from bars and restaurants, while the lion’s share of infections occurred in nursing homes and construction workers, according to WZTV Nashville.

On June 30th, contact tracing was giving a small view of coronavirus clusters. Construction and nursing homes causing problems more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22 cases.

Leslie Waller from the health department asks “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?

Correct, not for public consumption.” Writes senior advisor Benjamin Eagles. –WZTV

Four weeks later, Tennessean reporter Nate Rau asked the health department: “the figure you gave of “more than 80” does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?

To which health department official Brian Todd scrambled for an answer – asking five health department officials: “Please advise how you respond. BT.”

The response – from an official whose name was omitted from the leaked email: “My two cents. We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site,” adding “We could still release the total though, and then a response to the over 80 could be “because that number is increasing all the time and we don’t want to say a specific number.””

According to a metro staff attorney asked by city councilmember Steve Glover to verify the authenticity of the emails, “I was able to get verification from the Mayor’s Office and the Department of Health that these emails are real.”

Glover told WZTV: “They are fabricating information. They’ve blown there entire credibility Dennis. Its gone i don’t trust a thing they say going forward …nothing.”

Glover says he has been contacted by an endless stream of downtown bartenders, waitresses, and restaurant owners. Why would they not release these numbers?

We raised taxes 34 percent and put hundreds literally thousands of people out of work that are now worried about losing their homes their apartments etcetera and we did it on bogus data. That should be illegal!” he says.

Again, we weren’t told by the mayor’s office this wasn’t true. We were told to file a freedom of information act request. –WZTV

Bars and restaurants (and historically inns) have been a place where people gather that are like-minded. When like-minded individuals gather, they then tend to discuss things they all agree on, and then realize that they are being misled by the powers that be.
This cannot be allowed to happen.
Fun cannot be allowed to happen, because then people may also realize that this whole thing is blown completely out of proportion to reality, which then brings the whole fear-mongering into the bright light of day.
All information is carefully disseminated through a curated venue of you tube, facebook, instagram, twitter, et al with whoever still watches CNN and MSNBC and now apparently FOX, all bought and paid for by Emperor Palpatine.
In the meantime, we have morons like Redfield blatantly saying “masks work better than a vaccine” which now begs the question “why bother with a vaccine at all, lets just wear the damn masks and get on with life”. But that has blow-back from Creepy Uncle Gates who is starting to panic that his billions from the vaccines may go up in smoke. I am very sure Dr. Shortstuff is also worried about his stakes in Moderna not being guaranteed so much anymore. I am sure his deal with Emperor Palpatine included a blood oath and promises of a cushy multi-million retirement if he just plaid his cards right.
So now Redfield has to walk it back and claim he misunderstood the question. Which then leads me to say “how are you qualified to speak on any subject whatsoever?”
So then we ramp up some new shit in the form of seven people who supposedly caught Covid-1984 from a wedding in Maine and then died. All to further the agenda that people getting together to have fun and holy shit maybe talk to each other is only going to kill you.
But then regular people who are not brain dead start saying “well how fucking old were these seven people?” “Were they obese?” and then my question “How the holy hell can you even prove they caught it at the wedding since everyone keeps saying you can have it and not know it for 14-21 days after exposure?”
And we trot out a teacher who passed away from it but as you can obviously see from her pics she was morbidly obese and I am going to go out on a limb here and say probably had diabetes given her BMI.
And of course we have the “super spreader” event in the form of some normal people in Sturgis at the bike rally….if only they said it was a peaceful protest it would have flown under the radar. But no, they had to go and be all free-like and just want to live their lives as is their constitutionally protected prerogative. Fools.
So now a Pennsylvania judge seemingly doesn’t have his head up his ass, and gave Governor Wolf the judicial middle finger and said, hey, your not an emperor and you have to prove this is all worth destroying people’s lives for….but Wolf and his extremely-hard-on-the-eyes Public Health Official is going to appeal.
Why?
Well…because the lawsuit WANTS it to go to a jury trial, where the plaintiffs are going to lay out what I hope is a very cogent argument to show that this is all arbitrary and utter bullshit.
That will not end well. At all. Because facts and reality are no friends to the Powers that Be.
So my guess is that Wolf & Co. will decide to loosen up on the Iron Curtain act just enough to shut them up.
But that genie is out of the bottle, and pretty soon I think more people will start to sue….The Manchurian Candidate in California is on the radar. Frau Whitmer is still standing but barely. Mr Wilhelm, ahem, I mean DeBlasio is also becoming the Most Hated Man in NYC.
The “Peaceful Protests” that include some large bonfires and friendly mosh pits have chilled out a little, I guess maybe they took a bus to California and Oregon to tour the fires and see where they can help out a little?
And then the bail for the “peaceful protesters” was set really high. But I am wondering if the Barr is going to federally charge them with sedition, as that may warrant the high bail. Let the siren call go out to all middle aged white, cat-ladies and their boxed chardonnay book circles, the bail funds need to be bolstered!!!
In the meantime, we can tune in and watch the Two Minute Egg non-ironically play Latin music and read note cards in a rambling monotone with zero coherence.

Pup is correct in his observations that TPTB do not want like minded folks congregating, but I would take it one step further – they want to create a world where there is no reason to get in your car/truck, to go any place, up to and including work.

Why do you think they have destroyed the business models for all these service related jobs?

If you do a little research on Yelp, approximately 60% of the businesses closed due to the covid over-reaction, will never be re-opened. This includes: Bars, Resturants, night clubs, salons, gyms, small retail.

Dr. Shortstuff? Another awesome nickname for the keebler elf. This should be a post because it’s hilarous and makes a lot of good points.

And now what? Where’s the reciprocity? Any individual reading this endeavoring in constructive fraud would be prosecuted to death. Elected officials, career bureaucrats, no worries. Even when they get sued the taxpayer foots the bill. They enjoy the full benefit of sovereign immunity, no personal responsibility whatsoever.
We have seen kids prosecuted for “bullying” to extent of another’s eventual suicide. Does this also apply to demonstrable damages that eventually end with a fractured business owner that steps in front of a bus? Does Joe Tax-parasite take responsibility? What’s good for the goose is NOT even considered.

All the reporting about the Coronavirus® is scammed smehow, including the reporting that is true or “truthy”. Old, sick people die all the time from all sorts of things. Sometimes a odd flu. Most times it is just Father Time anld Old Mother Nature reclaiming one of their own.

How long will this scam last?? I haven’t played it at all, and have not suffered for it. Why do people put up wit it? Psy-op opinion promulgation and adoption techniques are good or people are more stupid, or both?

It’s pretty bad. I was going to post this in a thread last night but we decided to watch Mockingjay Part 1 again.

No city is immune from idiotic politicians. Not one. There is a rural/urban divide in this country that’s irreversible without PAIN.

The democratic politicians seem to be incredibly stupid by intent. Suppressing a study that was most likely taxpayer funded when it’s in the public interest is criminally negligent. Every last one of the public officials involved is derelict in their service to the public welfare and should resign.
An FOIA request practically crucifies these idiots as intentionally malignant. They should be punished, but with a captive shill media who will know?

More and more I am thinking the Democratic Party should be eliminated and their membership dissolved. The Republicans aren’t much better. People need a better governmental alternative to politicized parasitic criminality.

Nashville is right in the middle as far as cities go, my bet is there are similar figures nationwide. That would lead to millions of jobs lost.

Somebody high up needs to be pulling a train of Leroys every night for this.

This shit is probably going on in cities all over the country. The health departments are making the rules. Someone higher up is telling them what the rules are and they do what they are told to do. My guess is this is coming from the Center for Disease Creation.
