“All those adults that you used to think were in charge and knew what they were doing? Turns out that they don’t have all the answers. A lot of them aren’t even asking the right questions.”
Here’s a hint: the right question isn’t “How can I make a pandemic profitable for my friends and family?”
The right kind of questions are “How do I protect the people who are most likely to be hospitalized by this virus?” And “How can we develop mass testing technologies that allow for the testing of everyone so that, the next time, there won’t be a pandemic?”
The right question isn’t “Who can I blame for my own failures in leadership?”
The right questions are “Why isn’t everyone getting sick? What is it that allows some people to remain asymptomatic when they do get the virus? Why don’t people working in assisted living have the same PPE and protections as hospitals do? How do you make public transit safe?
The right questions are ”Why not spend 20-30 million out the trillions you are spending already on testing natural products and protocols that have been safely used for decades and that have shown anecdotal efficacy already? What is plan b if there is no working vaccine?”
If people were asking the right questions from the beginning, when all those residents and workers were dying in assisted living facilities in Washington, thousands of needless deaths could have (and still can) be avoided.
Then absolutely worst line I hear is ”there will be plenty of time to analyze what we did wrong once this is over. NO. Figure out what you did wrong NOW and fix it. Continuous improvement isn't a ”thing” in politics.

News has reached the front. There are new #SecondCivilWarLetters. The final battle is on and victory against President Trump’s “War on Intelligence” is near. Read on.
President Trump has run out of corners to round in his “War on intelligence”. The fires of contagion have encircled his wagon full of lies and there appears to be no escape. He lost the battle of COVID without even trying to win. Surrender!
President Trump’s “War on Intelligence” is nearing it’s end. It appears that both the President’s Secret Healthcare Plan and his cargo of bombshell revelations were both lost in the mail. They have run out of ammunition. Victory is near
I wonder if that’s why Toronto had 41 new cases of Covid-19 yesterday and Miami had 3,000. Why is it that the people who talk the most about liberty are the same people who insist that you think the way they do? Good public health practices are VERY liberating.
P.S. I notice the right wing blog didn’t have any quotes from clergy. That’s because they all support the decision to ban communion. Crazy as it may seem, priests aren’t anxious to kill their parishioners.
P.S. communion hasn’t been banned, it’s been modified to take into account social distancing. globalnews.ca/news/7116306/c…
They don’t say #MattGaetzIsATool for nothing. The US is #41 in the world in testing per capita, which is the only measure that matters. As for your “President God”, he is the worst crisis manager ever. Nobody could have screwed this up more.
Go to this list (which is updated more frequently than even Johns Hopkins) and sort by the last column “tests per million population” in descending order. The US is currently #42 and dropping. worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Deaths per million population the US is currently #13 and will probably hit the top #10 in the near future and could hit #1 eventually, depending how badly the reopening is handled.
We don’t have a vaccine.
We don’t know how long immunity lasts if you have antibodies.
There is no effective treatment.
Social distancing can’t last forever.
So maybe the right solution is to focus on building a defense against the worst case and providing it to the vulnerable.
In the worst case, you have:
A dysregulated immune system & Cytokine storm
Poor antioxidant status
High viral load
Low vitamin A, D & Potassium if you develop ARDS
The virus infects your lower lungs by way of the ACE2 protein
There are existing drugs, vitamins and natural products that can address many of these issues, especially if you address the potential problem before the person gets infected.
