We’ve reached an anniversary. Not a “Happy Anniversary,” because there’s really nothing to be happy about. It’s been a year since we were sold the “15 Days to Stop the Spread” plan. On March 16, 2020, President Trump (Miss him yet?) announced the Wuhan Virus Guidelines for America, 15 Days to Slow the Spread. The medical “experts” said we could get the Wuhan under control if we stayed home, avoided gathering in groups, stopped discretionary travel, and eating in restaurants and bars for 15 days. There were seven recommendations: 1) Listen to and follow the directions of your state and local authorities. (Little did we know where that would lead). 2) If you feel sick, stay home. Do not go to work. 3) If your children are sick, keep them at home. Do not send them to school. (This one soon became moot). 4) If someone in your household has tested positive, keep the entire household at home. Do not go to work or school. (See above). 5) If you are an older person, stay home and away from other people. 6) If you are a person with a serious underlying health condition, stay home and away from other people. 7) Even if you are young, or otherwise healthy, you are at risk and your activities can increase the risk for others. (Numbers 1 through 7 cover the entire population, so they just could have said “everybody stay home”). There was more. Avoid social gatherings of more than 10 people. Avoid eating or drinking in bars, restaurants, discretionary travel, shopping trips, and social visits. Don’t visit nursing homes or retirement or long-term care facilities unless to provide critical assistance. (Cuomo and Murphy should have memorized that one) . It didn’t sound too bad, right? We’d all pitch in. We’d stay home for two weeks, and then we’d have this mess under control, right? Not so much. In the 15 days after March 16th, the number of U.S. cases increased from 4,945 to 199,353. After 15 days, the plan was extended to April 30, and many States are still locked down a year later. There are several ways to interpret the increase in cases in the first 15 days. Some say it’s because we began doing more testing, so we got more positive tests. An alternative explanation is that the “stay at home” “no large gathering” plan was absolutely useless, because the “experts” had no clue. The version favored by the government is that the restrictions did work, because if we hadn’t imposed them, it would have been worse. They have no evidence for that, of course, but then again, they have no evidence justifying any of the things they tell us we have to do. They don’t need evidence, only opinions. Remember the definition of an “expert.” An expert is a person who learns more and more about less and less until finally, he knows everything about nothing. The medical experts were wrong every step of the way, and whenever they got caught they fell back on, “It could have been worse,” which is cold comfort indeed. Many times, they suggested that, without the restrictions, it could have been as bad as the 1918 Spanish Flu. Just an aside. The notion that calling Covid the Wuhan or China virus is somehow racist or xenophobic is a function of Woke Idiot cancel culture. Disease pathogens traditionally have been named for the places where they were first encountered. Hence, the Hong Kong Flu, Ebola Zaire, and West Nile Virus. Think the names are only places outside the U.S.? Think again. Lyme Disease comes from Connecticut. It’s Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, although it exists throughout the Western Hemisphere. How about Ebola Reston? This Ebola strain came from Philippine monkeys, but was identified in a Virginia research facility. I rest my case. It’s the Wuhan, whether they like it or not. The Spanish really have a better argument, because the Spanish Flu started elsewhere. Canadian historian Mark Humphries found records tracing what came to be called the 1918 Spanish Flu to a 1917 virus outbreak in Northern China. So, nothing really has changed in a hundred years. But I digress. The Wuhan has been bad enough, but it was never going to be as bad as the Spanish Flu, which was 4 times more deadly, and was more deadly for young healthy people than for older people. The experts at that well known medical institution, CNBC, claim the two largest failings of the 15 Days To Stop the Spread guidance were that it didn’t acknowledge that people without symptoms can spread the virus, and didn’t say anything about wearing masks. The masks. Always the masks. What about this? Well, in March 2020, nobody knew how many non-symptomatic Wuhan cases there were, much less whether such people could spread the virus. Even now, the CDC says they’re not sure. And masks? Give me a break. The very same restrictions the experts ordered last year (closings, distancing, masks) were ordered in 1918, with similar dismal results. In any case, harping on the masks is the most hypocritical of all the Wuhan restriction hypocrisies. In March 2020, Surgeon General Jerome Adams, Dr. Deborah Birx, and the all-knowing Dr. Fauci told us not to wear masks, because they weren’t effective to protect the public from the virus. This might have been the only thing they got right. But after Fascist Blue State Governors whipped the public into a fear of Wuhan hysteria, aided and abetted by Congressional Democrats, a year later, schools and businesses are still closed, and they recommend wearing two masks. When Joe Biden promised a return to “normal,” he meant post-Trump normal, not pre-Wuhan normal. When they told us it wouldn’t be “normal” till we got the vaccine we thought they were nuts. Now, the health Fascists say, even after the vaccine, the restrictions won’t be ended. Biden blames it all on Trump, and claims his “plan” will save us. This is the biggest lie of all the many lies. Biden takes credit for more Americans be vaccinated, when he had absolutely nothing to do with making the vaccines available. If you got a vaccine, you have one person to thank for it, Donald Trump. Without Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, which forced the government to get off its ass and move, there would be no vaccine. Biden has replaced Operation Warp Speed with Operation Warped Stooge. If you’re an American citizen, you must wear 2 masks, stay home, no school, no sports, no restaurants, no groups, no work, and no life. Spring breakers and sports fans are super-spreaders, but infected illegal aliens are welcomed guests. It’s sickening, but maybe it’s all a part of Biden’s Warped Stooge plan. Biden is strategically planting Wuhan infected “migrants” all over the country to spread the virus, thereby getting us to Mexican Herd Immunity. And, when we’re as broke and helpless, and as corrupt as Mexico and the Biden family, we’ll be back to “normal.”
