Why anybody?
1942, 1943, 1944? I think the nation had something else on it’s collective mind.
If that’s REALLY the case (and it is NOT predominately a media-driven / Deep-state Get Trump-driven panic pandemic) how come some of our medical ‘experts’ suddenly are back-pedaling on their earlier Armageddon-level fatality estimates.
Ya think ‘someone’ higher up told them that they can stand down a little...maybe the USA’s economy and morale has been beat down to size enough for now...
Just as long as they get their Phase IV nuclear arsenal to finish off Donald Trump in November???
It’s just the flu bro. Nearly all countries in the world have gone into lockdown in an effort just to destroy the American economy. Right on Oscar. Go out to party, shop and mingle..
Mingle with who? Shop where?
There are other years tallied in the table in my reference. Admittedly the two seasons I cited were REALLY bad ones.
HOWEVER
Killing our booming economy now is just as senseless as shutting down our war effort back then would have been. I’m sure factory workers, soldiers and civil authorities puked all over everything (and many even died) but they soldiered on to victory.
We may just have thwarted our own victory with this one. Everyone knows darn good and well The USS Trump was on an inevitable course to complete dominance only 4 weeks ago.
...White House, Senate, House of Representatives and vast portions of the states’ governance...
The SWAMP, HAVING TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE had to go for the nuclear-grade suicide belt option to keep that from happening
IMHO, of course
I thought earlier - you can find my erroneous opinion in long-ago-threads - that impeachment was the “suicide belt” the left would never detonate.
I mis-underestimated their diabolical natures horribly.
NOT gonna do that again.
I suspect them of being guilty of EVERYTHING and capable of doing ANYTHING now
“”Did that strike you as strange?””
No more strange than the reports I have of ‘Chinese-looking’ AMERICANS being intimidated, threatened, assaulted (and perhaps, killed)
...By supposedly enlightened the first-world citizens of Houston, Texas
BTW...those Asians are filipino. No more ‘chinese’ than folks in N.Florida, S. Georgia and S. Alabama are communist castro cuban if geography is the standard of measure.
......How come some of our medical ‘experts’ are back-pedaling on their earlier Armageddon-level fatality estimates”.....
Because how this unknown virus behaves, spreads, treatments, and if or not people are staying home, as well as other variables are ‘all in a state of motion and fluid’.....Further they stated all along these would change and WE needed to understand that.
I don’t think anyone in NY, Lousianna, Michigan, Pa and New Jersey are interested in backing down in the heat of this battle to prevent deaths....nor Hospital staff and those on the front lines who see the trail of suffering this virus leaves in it’s path.
Further the fall out on the economy and morale is everyones concern, it’s not as though the entire world isn’t aware or being affected in that respect.......we all should be planning on how we can participate when this pestilence passes.
How Trump will do in the election ahead? well since the worldleaders are following and doing everything he’s been doing in this crisis it’s very likely he’ll be serving another four years regardless of the what the Dems say or do.
I guess we will have to respectfully disagree on some of the points.
Why the TWO democrat governors unprecedented BAN of hydroxychloroquine for CV patients in spite of the FDA’s ‘off label’ use guidelines (Which essentially give physicians blanket approval to treat ANY disease with ANY approved compound)? —in spite of the fact that anecdotal positive reports were out there already as to its effectiveness?
My guess:
D-MI (battleground state - they can’t lose THAT one again)
and
D-NV The state’s Health director is effectively an African Witch doctor mid-wife who reportedly is not licensed to practice medicine in ANY of the 50 states.
I believe they ‘wanted scalps’ that they could blame on President Trump
Furthermore, more Dem Governors were likely weighing the odds of implementing that decision in their states and pulling it off.
...How Trump will do in the election ahead???
That depends on how many faithful supporters are NEEDLESSLY struggling to make ends meet still in November because of the Panic Pandemic inferno fanned by Dem Leaders and their compliant mediots.
After all, “It’s [still] the economy, Stupid” -J Carville
...”the fall out on the economy and morale is everyones concern”
The dems are willing to let the economy and morale become casualties of war as long as they and their Deep State masters ‘get their groove back’. Sadly the ends justify ANY means to them. And they are FLAT-OUT of reasonable means.
NOBODY should doubt their resolve
You’re making it political now as you have prior. I’m not interested in going that direction in a debate. It wil all be political once it’s over. Currently it’s about preventing severe illness and deaths from a highly contageous disease.
WhatEVER...
If the survival of America as we “KNEW” it is political to you,
That’s fine with me
There’s not much middle ground for us to haggle over
“So, it’s our turn to stop the Nazis of our day.”
Absolutely correct, however it is so very much more difficult now as they are so thoroughly embedded and deeply committed to the destruction of the United States.
Currently it’s about preventing severe illness and deaths from a highly contageous disease.
And we’re deeply committed to the preservation of the United States.
Nothing is impossible; just less easy than something else.
We’re Americans. We put men on the moon. We can do anything we set our asses to.
It was a different America then.
Sure was. Better in a LOT of ways.
But you and I and a whole bunch of other Americans came from those folks.
Not giving this up without a vulgar brawl. A VERY vulgar brawl.
I wholeheartedly agree we must fight totally and win.
I was tiredly just making an observation, should have left out the “however”.
All good, brother.
I hadn't thought of it in those terms - but it makes a lot of the crap that happens with China make sense.
