Title: The new normal
Post by: Bob Noel on May 05, 2020, 04:09:15 PM
(sorry, I know that at least a few people don't like the phrase, but I couldn't think of a clever or catchy alternative...)

Will there be acceptance of COVID-19 deaths like there is acceptance of influenza deaths? 

Will all employment/jobs in a State need to be approved, either by the Governor's office or the State's Board of Health?

Will people pay more for domestically made products or will they go back to buying the cheap crap from mainland China?

Will PPE be stockpiled for the next pandemic or will we continue to use the entire production capacity just meeting current needs?

Will Nursing homes, etc be a place the elderly go to be left alone to die?

Will religious organization only be able to meet online?  (think about the (in)security implications...)

Will we ever see sufficient quantities of TP, pasta, frozen veggies, canned goods, hand sanitizer on the store shelves?

Is it just me or does Fauci look like a little Bond villain?  Not a little LIKE a Bond villain.  A LITTLE Bond villain.   Like some weird "Mini Me".

I started out liking Fauci and trusting what he said, and maybe at first he wasn’t wrong. We didn’t have all the facts. As far as we knew the virus did have a 4% fatality rate. But as time went on and Fauci failed over and over again to report updated information, and he moved the goal post again and again, and he credited social distancing for the lack of spread when that is still only a premise, and his apparent total lack of concern about the damage caused by the shutdown, and his application of cookie cutter recommendations for the entire nation despite most of the cases being concentrated in a half dozen counties, and his growing air of glee as this drags on, now I am so over him.

I do not believe this was a planned thing. I don’t think Fauci and the DNC said back in January, “let’s use this virus to destroy Trump”, but I am convinced that after a couple of weeks of shutdown and the stock market crash, and growing evidence that economic harm will increase exponentially as the shutdown continues, they realized that they accidentally stumbled upon a mother lode, and this was something they could milk, and use, and the longer they could drag it out the less chance Trump will win in November. Now, you cannot convince me, that Fauci, Birx, the Democrat governors, the media and the health agency bureaucrats aren’t doing this deliberately.

No, it’s not an organized conspiracy, but it is a crowd all feeding into the momentum. They have found that discrediting any easy cure (hydroxychloroquine) will serve the purpose of prolonging the shutdown. They have found that they can keep the sheeple cowering in fear by telling them there’s no way out of this except a vaccine, and preparing them to accept an indefinitely prolonged shutdown, or inane partial openings. 25% capacity will NOT save a restaurant from bankruptcy. Telling people they can walk on a beach but not sit on it is beyond ludicrous. They have ignored and downplayed the economic damage. They have, astonishingly, blamed Trump for all covid19 deaths. When he was the one that took the threat seriously while Fauci and Pelosi were assuring us it wasn’t going to be a problem.

It has fallen together quite accidentally, or rather opportunistically, as the largest destructive force ever used against an economy since the Russian and Chinese revolutions. And it’s not limited to the U.S.; the world economy is all tied together. The consequences of this are unbelievably far reaching, even causing the extinction of wildlife in the jungles of Africa, because as it turns out, tourism there keeps the poachers at bay.

And at least half this nation is fast asleep, unaware of what this means, thrilled that “pollution is down” and somehow thinking that this heralds a new utopia where we can work from home in our jammies while food deliveries magically appear at our doorstep, why not keep this up forever?

All good stuff Rush.  The bolded is very concerning.  The pollution is down mantra especially.  Do we want a world where people can not live their live in order to have a little less pollution?  Really?  People are GLEEFULLY saying "Look no contrails" as people lose their jobs and fall into economic ruin.  Will we have gangs of roving "Disenfranchised" (I love that two bit term) preying upon people for their food, clean water and gasoline?

When the hungry hordes start looting, Trump will be blamed.

We can’t lose our country over this. But I fear we will.

Why not?  They'll only prey on liberals.  They know conservatives will shoot them.

I'm not totally convinced they fell into this.  I do notice many of the blue states now pushing things back further and canceling things like 4th of July celebrations.  That is purposeful to begin the transition of making people forget of the celebration of our freedom and bring about change.

How many of you have seen the video of Fauci exchanging hand gestures, salutes if you will, with members of the MSM when he leaves the briefings?

Here's one, there is another out there...

The Governor of NJ recently extended the shutdown to at least June 5th to be revised if necessary.  Now today I read he is saying the Jersey shore will be open "WITH PRECAUTIONS".  What does that mean?  Will restaurants, bars, and "non-essential" stores be open?  Can people lay on the beaches and swim in the water?  Nobody seems to know.
