Using a Misunderstanding to Paralyze America, Politicians Gotta Politicize

      I thought that my last post would be my last on the China virus, at least for a while, but people, especially governors and some mayors, fail to understand the real purpose of the lockdown.  The main purpose of the lockdown, according to Dr.  Fauci and Dr. Brix, was not to save lives or prevent new cases, but merely to slow them down so that hospitals would not be overrun and have to ration ventilators, ICU beds, and other resources necessary for caring for critical patients.  They emphasized that lockdown would flatten the curve, but they failed to empathize that flattening the curve also lengthens the period for infections and deaths to occur and in a sense makes recurrent hot spots more likely as the lockdowns delay herd immunity from taking over.  All but a few cities and regions of the country would have been much better off without any lockdown and only minimal restrictions. Areas like the tristate region around NYC did need a lockdown as some hospitals were reaching a point where there were no more critical care beds available.  Fortunately for New York, President Trump came to the rescue, bringing up USNS Comfort with 1000 beds, and having the Army Corp of Engineers build temporary hospitals in Central Park and the Javits Center.  Governor Cuomo and Mayor di Blasio failed to take advantage and instead put infected patients in nursing homes, who then infected the most vulnerable patients leading to many unnecessary deaths.
      Fauci and Brix based much of their opinions on the work of a British mathematical epidemiologist, whose original recommendations suggested as many as 2 million deaths in America.  In addition, the WHO and Chinese supplied fake data that I have already discussed in previous articles.  Ferguson didn't even follow his own advice and caught the China Virus, venturing out to visit his mistress. In addition, London was woefully unprepared as it had very few critical care beds.  That's is what universal medical care will do for you. The data made the lockdown seem like a great choice as the Chinese data showed a short period is all that would be necessary.  After being hit hard, many European countries copied America and closed travel especially from China, and began lockdowns.   The Swedes did not.  Their policy allowed most businesses and schools to stay open.  Keeping schools open meant that moms and dads could go to work as daycare would be the same as school, especially for younger children.  They did recommend masks, social distancing, and limiting the number of people in bars and restaurants.  Those most at risk were advised to be careful and isolation or quarantine was left up to the individual.  Currently, Sweden ranks 24th in the world on new cases and well behind the UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Belgium in deaths per million population as well.  What's not to say that this policy could have worked in America.  I have pointed out in previous articles, the United States was inundated with Chinese "tourists" from both the West and the East via China and Italy.  Italy had a number of flights directly from Wuhan daily and explains a large number of new cases and deaths very early on.  In previous articles, I have presented the evidence for China's purposeful release of this virus in New York City, America's economic capital, and in Western Europe's greatest economies in order to help China succeed in making up for its recent downturn and allowing them to become the world's greatest economy.  They are especially afraid of President Trump and would love to see Biden elected as they consider him a pushover, after all, they did a $billion plus deal with Hunter "Humper"' Biden.
      Now the unacceptable is happening in some States.   Democrat Governors and mayors are continuing lockdowns and harsh policies, when unnecessary, just so they can blame President Trump for the poor economy as more and more Americans apply for unemployment. Mayor Eric Garcetti and his non-physician Health Commissioner Barabra Ferrer of Los Angeles say they may not end the lockdown until there is a cure, a vaccine, and a self-administered test and currently have extended the stay at home orders at least until August.  This can't be for anything, but political reasons.  One major company, Tesla, is threatening to move to Texas, where restrictions are being lifted, businesses receive favorable treatment, and there are no state taxes, a boon to both companies and workers.  Even when one considers that about 60% of all California's cases and 48% of all California deaths come from Los Angeles County, one needs to realize that about 55% of Californians reside there which is larger than the combined areas of Delaware and Rhode Island.  A cure may never come and a  vaccine may be years away.  It seems like a realistic approach in California may be as well.   Michigan's Governor, Gretchen Whitmer,  continues to hold most of the state hostage to the problems of Detroit, forcing nonsensical restrictions on Michigan's citizens.  When she appears on television, she seems to gloat over the power she has accumulated during this crisis,  smiling about how she will force citizens to follow her commands.  Transgender Pennsylvania Health Commissioner Rachael Levine seems more concerned with how people address her than helping the people of her state.  Chicago mayor threatens citizens with arrest for violating her orders but then goes out to get a haircut in order to look her best on camera.  Lori, I think you need more than a haircut.

Levine, Lightfoot, Ferrer

       

       The last thing I want to mention is the Democrats request for another $3 million bailout, that really isn't a bailout at all, but a wish list of Democrat and socialist policies that have nothing to do with the China virus.  These include checks for illegal aliens, Green New Deal actions, releasing criminals over the age of 50 from prison, prolonging unemployment benefits, plus a slew of contributions to Democrat financial supporters.  Of course, it is dead on arrival at the Senate, but even if only one of these horrible requests winds up in a final bill, Nancy Pelosi will have beaten the Republicans again.
