On the 10 month anniversary of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve, I'm going to repost some of my early columns on this ongoing catastrophe. My March piece on Ron DeSantis and how he was skeptical about lockdowns from the start: amgreatness.com/2020/03/23/can…
Failing to raze the Justice Department and refusing to remove Fauci and Birx from the Coronavirus Task Force were the most damaging misfires of Trump's presidency. My April column urging the president to sideline them:
The 2020 CDC acted as the 2016 FBI in attempting to sabotage Trump's candidacy. My column in May that warned CDC guidance would be used to extend lockdown misery and grant Democrats long-sought voting "reforms" including mail-in ballots amgreatness.com/2020/05/07/is-…
Also from May: "Social distancing" was untested pseudoscience that we now know utterly failed to contain a virus (no duh) but instead inflicted irreversible damage to the economy, our children, and our collective mental health: amgreatness.com/2020/05/04/the…

My piece on the Texas AG lawsuit, the best round-up of election illegalities in four states. This is what Team Trump and GOP should have focused on instead of farfetched claims that didn't matter
“The worst fracas on Friday erupted in Franklin Square, about a mile-and-a-half from Capitol Hill, just before Trump's swearing-in ceremony got underway. Police officers suffered minor injuries when protesters flung bricks, trash cans and other objects” nbcnews.com/storyline/inau…
Lindsey Graham now demanding a special task force to investigate the breach of the Capitol. "Sedition might be a charge for some of these people." Anyone who dared to sit in a chair belonging to lawmaker will be "sitting in jail." He will demand weekly updates from DOJ on...
these "domestic terrorists." Graham said this is "a moment for the nation to show will and determination to be a nation of laws, that anarchy shall not reign, that the Constitution controls, not the mob."
Graham claims all of Trump's accomplishments were "tarnished by yesterday. His actions were the problem not the solution. The rally was unseemly (!?), it got out of hand, and Rudy Giuliani did not help." Says the 25th Amendment isn't appropriate "at this point."
Let’s take a fun little trip down memory lane. Two years ago, 87% of Democrats thought the Russians hacked the DNC email system to help Trump win (never proven)
Two years ago, 67% of Democrats believed the Russians! actually rigged votes in the 2016 election
Lol 87% believed the Russians! spread fake news to get Trump elected
If you’re looking for one report that dismantles every “mitigation strategy” the experts have pushed for nearly a year, here it is. People have been confined to households, which is by far the biggest vector for spread especially between spouses... jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

“Modeling studies demonstrated that household transmission had a greater relative contribution to the basic reproductive number after social distancing (30%-55%) than before social distancing (5%-35%)”
Staying 6 feet apart, author conclude, not possible in home settings.
This jibes with other studies showing asymptomatic spread isn’t a thing: cases. “Estimated mean household secondary attack rate from symptomatic index cases (18.0%; 95% CI, 14.2%-22.1%) was significantly higher than from asymptomatic or presymptomatic index cases (0.7%; 95% CI).”
