[Alas Babylon!]

“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7 KJV

It is looking more and more like I am wright and the entire intelligentsia is dead wrong about the Y2K-0rona bug. It is more like a bug and less like a plague than the media has been fooling us with. Now if they would allow us the malaria preventative drug chloroquine phosphate while you load up with zinc, we could get back to work and begin enjoying cheap gas and interest rates to pull the entire world out of this malaise.

President Trump it is time to lead even if the DNC and its ankle biters in the media want to paralyze and destroy this country, you must begin suspecting a trap. Ignore the number of cases since the only number that matters is number dead. After two months plus of recording the virus we have 7,000 dead and if you take NY and NJ out of the equation you only have around 3,500 for the rest of the country. So out of the remaining 250 million you have 3,500 deaths or around a one in a hundred thousand chance of dying from this disease and you destroy the entire economy.

The academics whose models are a disaster are telling us it is growing exponentially. If it was then why did it stay constant between 250-500 a day dying and now has plateaued around a thousand with 1,090 dying in the last 24 hours after it was reported breathlessly there were 1,450 a couple days ago. Now they are pushing everyone wearing a mask since the 6’ rule is no longer enough. Chicago threatened to arrest a guy for riding his bike even though he was alone and nowhere near anyone even if you could transmit the disease.

It is time to free the people who have been trained to avoid touching, feeling or being within 6 feet of each other. Everyone over 70 yrs. old can self-isolate as well as those with high risk underlying issues such as diabetes and cardio problems but let’s get out there and develop a herd immunity to this flu today.

President Trump you are being played by the bureaucrats just like GW was in the Iraq war. They are playing you with their slick science speak which is nothing more than a cover for not knowing what to do. Dr Midget comes on and says he needs to keep the country shut down until the flu is over and is backed up by Natashia who agrees that there may not be 2 million deaths but there will surely be somewhere between 150-200,000 even though the models are wrong.

You have two people who refuse to endorse the most effective drug around the world oversee solving this issue? Start giving the malaria drug to the medical community first and then first responders and elderly and get this behind us. This will buy you time until there is a cure which is likely 4-6 mos. away while the economy is being rebuilt.

If it is so easy to cavalierly close down the economy and destroy tens of millions of lives why don’t these bureaucrats give up their salaries until the doors are reopened. If they can with a model destroy businesses such as the local restaurant, shop owner and auto industry then certainly they should be willing to share the pain. Don’t pay any of these people including Pence until the people they are willing to sacrifice are allowed back to earning a paycheck. That may eliminate the idea of closing this for two to three months insanity.

Nobody is saying the task force has not done as good a job as possible, but they are trying to manage this with the communist Central Planning model, and it is showing how flawed that system is. Why should a state like Wyoming be managed like NY? The reason NY and NJ is the center of the disease is the subway. You can bet they will never tell us how many dead are subway riders or the distance from the subway the infected live but dollars to donuts there is a very high correlation between riding and catching. Imagine how covered those straps, bars and seats were as well as breathing in each other’s faces making it a perfect breeding ground.

You look at a similar population of Los Angeles where you have a couple hundred deaths and 280 in the entire state of 40 million. This means in CA you have a .000007 chance of dying from the Y2K. You may as well go buy a lotto ticket too. You have an entire state shut down over 280 deaths simply because NYC is having an outbreak and may lose about 10-20,000 sick and elderly. I am ready to take my chances of dying to get this back to work and have our country back. Just keep NYC closed and let the rest of the country take the malaria drug.

The malaria drug solution is too simple for DC. They need all sorts of Blue-Ribbon committees and lifelong alphabet heads discussing the intricacies making it as complex as possible. Inside the Beltway of Corruption the committee is where all good ideas go to die and is replaced by more money out the snow blower. All these committees have unlimited budgets and spend money like a snow plow clearing a mountain pass in winter. They will have multiple trillion-dollar ideas to solve the Y2K-Orona virus and when it turns out to be exaggerated, will declare victory.

In the middle of all this Blue-Ribbon confusion sits the Communist Party and Nazi Pelosi. That petri dish called the NY subway is where they want the entire country. The reason CA and the rest of the country does not have the outbreak is the car. The symbol of capitalism liberals hate allows people separation from diseases and allows a herd immunity to form from slowing an outbreak in a population without immunity while it develops one. If you carpool and everyone in the car gets it you have 3-4 rather than 2-3 million.

In addition to driving rather than riding in a disease-ridden train which the Green Raw Deal demands, Los Angeles is far more spread out than Manhattan. Rather than living in 50 story condos LA is spread over 500 square miles allowing natural distancing and much harder for a disease to travel. This is another advantage eliminated in AOC’s Green New Deal as well as gas and electricity making cars a thing of the past and slow moving trains the only mode of the future. Do you have a week to go from NY to LA on a train with 1000 infected passengers or 10 hours from LA to Gay Bay? Hope you make it alive.

How many respirators could you buy with the $150 million rather than laundered for the DNC by the Kennedy Center and Planned Abortion? These are the solutions the DNC brings to the table and you thought they cared about blacks and the oppressed. As bad a job as Boris and Natasha are doing with their Stalinist shutdowns, the Dems are only interested in attaining power from this crisis. They are always using a crisis to their advantage and pouncing on every decision as the wrong one hoping for more pain and suffering to acquire more power and control, it is who they are. The next time they unify for the good of America will be their first and this isn’t it.

This is America and the goal should be getting America back to work as soon as possible with as few deaths as possible. It should not be having zero deaths since it is not possible, and the solutions are not realistic. Minimization would require getting the malaria drug out as a preventative and continue using common sense distancing while the immunity grows, and vaccines are developed, ending the threat. It is time for President Trump to realize Centralized Planning does not work and go back to his common sense and look at the map as a battlefield to be developed.

The real solution is transitioning the rest of the country out of shutdown while avoiding the Big Apple until it is over. If other areas develop, they can be isolated but by all appearances if the malaria drug works which it has shown to more and more, then free the other 40-48 states and get this behind you. Americans never cowered to the Germans, Japanese or Russians why start cowering to China’s Y2K-Orona bug?

FDA SAYS HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AND CHLOROQUINE CAN BE USED TO TREAT CORONAVIRUS

This has been the big political story of the week.  And while stories eke out, one hears about this test group all cured here, this 150 year old man with leprosy over there....cured.

The FDA?  This is the Food and Drug Administration? Shouldn't the CDC approve this?  There is a chorus of alphabet agencies all employing people who have not been laid off as of yet.

By this time next year there will be a vaccine and covid-19 will be just a bad memory, the only bad memory that most of our somewhat spoiled children and grandchildren have ever lived through.

https://www.newsweek.com/fda-says-hydroxychloroquine-chloroquine-can-used-treat-coronavirus-1494925

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of two anti-malaria drugs to treat patients infected by the new coronavirus.

On Sunday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in a statement that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine could be prescribed to teens and adults with COVID-19 "as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible," after the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization. (EUA) That marked the first EUA for a drug related to COVID-19 in the U.S., according to the statement.

Currently, there are no specific drugs for COVID-19 which, as shown in the Statista graph below (accurate as of March 26), has sickened over half a million people. According to Johns Hopkins University, over 720,000 cases have been confirmed, more than 34,000 people have died, and over 152,000 have recovered since the pandemic started in China late last year.

POLITICAL CARTOON OF THE WEEK

--------------------------------------------

Donald Trump calls Nancy Pelosi a 'sick puppy' as he abandons pretense of bipartisanship in revenge strike after she attacked him saying 'as the president fiddles people are dying'

This was one of the worst thing Pelosi could say.  She held up the CARES bill a week longer than needed.  She told people to go out and tour Chinatown in her San Francisco district.

Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi....my childhood pal.

Ask me about it some time.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8167491/Trump-turns-coronavirus-election-issue-accusing-Pelosi-holding-bill-adding-junk.html

"Well you know, it's a sad thing. Look, she's a sick puppy in my opinion. She really is. She's got a lot of problems and that's a horrible thing to say,' he said of the House Speaker.

Trump's attack was in reaction to a question during a Fox & Friends interview Monday about Pelosi blaming him for not handling the coronavirus crisis in a timely manner, and claiming while he 'fiddles, people are dying.'

Biden confirms he's considering Whitmer for VP

This Whitmer woman is the Governor of Michigan and she is doing a terrible job.

Biden wants a woman on the ticket?  I will offer a few:  Michelle Obama.  Tulsi Gabbord.  NO NOT HILLARY.    Elizabeth Warren?  Hmmmmm.  Outside possibility.

I think for Biden to put a woman up as his VP is a good idea for senile Joe but hey, I don't think he will be the final choice for the DNC presidential nominee.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/490570-biden-confirms-hes-considering-whitmer-for-vp

Former Vice President Joe Biden confirmed this week that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is one of the women he's considering as a potential running mate in his White House bid.

Biden, who has already vowed to tap a woman as his vice presidential pick, said Tuesday night he’s been considering Whitmer for the role for months, but that he is eyeing as many as 10 potential candidates.

“She made the list in my mind two months ago. There’s probably going to be a list, I’m in the process of, Brian, we’ll have it by mid-April, putting together an organization that will run the background checks…by the second or third week in April,” Biden told MSNBC host Brian Williams.

TIME FOR A SMILE

[rodguy911]

Brilliant as usual and of course the goal is to let capitalism solve the problems not be the problem.Sooner or later it will come back and bring the nation back with it as well. Until then at least in the Keys its time for fishing,a rum runner or two and lots of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK_CL7sr018&list=PL4_Ig7Xjs6hxhMJi1hyKFY5YYMd9IvkHN&index=13
Sinatra’s “Nothing but the Best” perhaps the greatest album ever released.Play it over and over while fishing or whatever and you will soon forget that we ever managed to attack capitalism.

So true Re the subway. The streets of NYC are often littered with trash and the dirt and grime of years of buses/ cars permeates the air.

Throw in the dank conditions underground and the fact that this is the predominant means of transportation for the shoebox living conditions and you can immediately see the wisdom of your observation.

Of course the MSM will never comment on this, and Dr Midget won’t get anywhere near it as it’s too common sense.

The Donald is surrounded by child like gotcha reporters and doing a good job of showing what leadership is compared to Mr TelePrompTer but is hampered by I’m sure of restraining himself to do exactly what you say as the MSM cares more about a takedown of him rather than a helping calming of the general population.

Back in 2017 at forum on pandemic preparedness at Georgetown University Dr. Fauci made an interesting statement. Fauci told the audience the Trump administration will not only be challenged by ongoing global health threats such as influenza and HIV, but also a surprise disease outbreak.

FLASHBACK: Dr. Fauci Downplayed Hydroxychloroquine 2 Weeks Ago — Now Considered “Most Effective Therapy” for COVID-9 by Global Survey of Doctors

** In January Dr. Anthony Fauci told Newsmax TV that the United States did not have to worry about the coronavirus.
Now, three months later, he wants to shut down every state!

** Dr. Fauci warned of an apocalyptic pandemic and later compared the coronavirus to a bad flu.

** Dr. Fauci based all of his predictions on models and then told reporters this past week, “You can’t really rely on models.”

TRENDING: WHOA! Dr. Fauci in 2017: President Trump Will Be Challenged By a “Surprise Global Disease Outbreak” (VIDEO)

And on March 20th Dr. Fauci “corrected” the president during a press briefing on hydroxychloroquine saying, “You got to be careful when you say ‘fairly effective.’ It was never done in a clinical trial… It was given to individuals and felt that maybe it worked.”

Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced that he’s been friends with the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. This announcement connected Dr. Fauci to the Clinton Foundation and the terrorist connected WHO leader.
...................................

President Donald Trump is fighting to find a medical solution for Coronavirus in the short term, expressing hope that the anti-malaria drug Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine can help patients suffering from the Chinese virus.

The truth is that President Donald Trump is locked in an intense power struggle with Bill Gates, who is pushing his vaccines, which may not be available to the public until after November’s election. Gates has a lot of pull in the medical world, he has a multi-million dollar relationship with Dr. Fauci, and Fauci originally took the Gates line supporting vaccines and casting doubt on Chloroquine.

Coronavirus response team member Dr. Deborah Birx, appointed by former president Obama to serve as United States Global AIDS Coordinator, also sits on the board of a group that has received billions from Gates’ foundation, and Birx reportedly used a disputed Bill Gates-funded model for the White Houses’ Coronavirus effort. Gates is a big proponent for a population lockdown scenario for the Coronavirus outbreak.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID, a division of National Institutes of Health, NIH) director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is represented by the Aurumn Speakers Bureau, initially criticized Trump’s hopeful assessment of Chloroquine, saying in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that “There’s no magic drug for coronavirus right now,” and lectured, “Let me put it into perspective for the viewers .. there has been anecdotal non-proven data that it [chloroquine] works… but when you have an uncontrolled trial you can never definitely say that it works.”

But now Fauci has changed his tune and launched a public relations campaign huddling closer to Trump. Fauci said that he would definitely prescribe Chloroquine for patients. “Yeah, of course, particularly if people have no other option. These drugs are approved drugs for other reasons. They’re anti-malaria drugs, and they’re drugs against certain autoimmune diseases like lupus. Physicians throughout the country can prescribe that in an off-label way. Which means they can write it for something it was not approved for.”

But Fauci’s apparent hostility toward Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine remains clear:

Dr. Deborah Birx is garnering criticism for touting a disputed model for the Coronavirus outbreak prepared by the University of Washington’s IHME, a project of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Birx’s license to practice medicine in the state of Pennsylvania expired in 2014.

Deborah Birx Sits on the Board of The Global Fund, which is heavily funded by Bill Gates’ organizational network, as journalist Jordan Schactel discovered. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave the Global Fund a $750 million promissory note in 2012.

The Global Fund explains, “The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a key partner of the Global Fund, providing cash contributions, actively participating on its board and committees, and supporting the Global Fund’s advocacy, communications and fundraising efforts. The Gates Foundation has contributed US$2.24 billion to the Global Fund to date, and pledged US$760 million for the Global Fund’s Sixth Replenishment, covering 2020-2022.”

WHO CHIEF EX TERRORIST
https://www.foxnews.com/world/who-chief-tedros-questionable-past-coronavirus

in addition to being a lying sack of sh_t for china Tedros is also a former terror type.
he head of the World Health Organization, in charge of making life or death decisions on a grand scale, has been accused of covering up cholera epidemics, supporting a terrorist organization and inflating his resume to claim he conquered malaria and HIV.

Tedros Adhanom Ghegreyesus’ campaign to rewrite his questionable past has some wondering whether he is the right fit to lead the global agency through the coronavirus pandemic.

“Tedros is the second-to-last person who should be heading the world World Health Organization at this time,” foreign affairs expert Gordon Chang told Fox News. “The last person is (Chinese President) Xi Jinping.”

CHINA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH WHO CHIEF IN WAKE OF CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

The Ethiopian official, who was elected to lead the WHO in 2017, has been accused of cozying up to countries like China that have pledged millions of dollars to the agency.

Last week, Tedros applauded Xi for his efforts to contain and control the novel coronavirus that is widely thought to have originated in a Wuhan, China seafood market.

“For the first time, #China has reported no domestic #COVID19 cases yesterday. This is an amazing achievement, which gives us all reassurance that the #coronavirus can be beaten,” Tedros tweeted.

Tedros became a member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which began a protracted rebellion against the military government and was crucial in the 1991 overthrow of Mengistu Haile Mariam, Ethiopia’s Marxist dictator. The victory resulted in swapping out a Amhara-dominated government with one led by Tigray leaders, which led to more than a decade of conflict.

Journalist Abebe Gellaw claims Tedros was one of the top three members of the TPLF and that the party is “ultimately responsible for all the corruption, killings, torture, mass detention, land grab or displacement,” he wrote in the Ethiopian Registrar.

The United States State Department has categorized TPLF as a terrorist organization due to its “violent activities before it became part of the ruling coalition and the government of Ethiopia in May 1991.”

Cry baby wall ass now upset because we don't have a national stay at home order,he grilling adams our Vice Admiral U.S. Surgeon General,a good guy in a tough position.

In other words we have a lot of govt. control right now but it's not enough for the "handlers"(cabal) who have instructed the drivebys to ask for more govt. control. The hard left does not trust you and I to do the right thing so I say they know what they can do,it may be unnatural but it's what they can do.

Surgeon General Jerome Adams eating wall ass for lunch hes not even a contest for Adams he knows a gotcha lower life form when he sees one.

[hillarynot]

I live in a metro area of approx. 350,000 and there are about 20 cases, 1 patient died -- a guy in his 90's.

Because we live in Illinois, fatboy JB has decided we all must react as if we lived in Chicago.

I agree with you Bray -- public transportation has to be one of the biggest threats - what with all those people jammed into those cars touching each other and everything.

We have Subways too (the Sandwich kind), but they're all closed

This is indeed a disaster, but not for the reasons the media is telling us

[kabar]

You can bet they will never tell us how many dead are subway riders or the distance from the subway the infected live but dollars to donuts there is a very high correlation between riding and catching. Imagine how covered those straps, bars and seats were as well as breathing in each other’s faces making it a perfect breeding ground.

No doubt the largest subway system in the country and the fact that public transportation is the overwhelming way people travel around the city. But the huge Chinatown and direct connections to Wuhan have contributed to the disaster. The borough of Queens has the largest Asian American population by county outside the Western United States.

There are 395,009 Chinese living there according to census figures and the number is probably significantly higher if illegal aliens were included. One-third of all coronavirus patients come from Queens, which has been the epicenter of New York City’s outbreak almost from the start. As of 5 p.m. April 4, the borough registered 20,371 cases.

The academics whose models are a disaster are telling us it is growing exponentially.

The Bill Gates funded model, IHME, is the one selected by Birx and Fauci to guide our efforts. The model has been fairly accurate on deaths so far, but way off on hospitalizations, which it projected to be four times higher than the current reality. The model was last updated on April 1 with real data and promised to update by April 4. That promise was not kept and they have taken down the promise and now just say, "As the pandemic progresses, we are working to incorporate new data about the virus in the US."

Something is up. IHME is hiding data that will show how far off the model is. Hospitalizations is a key indicator of how many deaths we can expect in the future.

The Covid Tracking Project data report nationwide there are 22,158 currently hospitalized and 38,615 cumulative. Quite different from the Gates model, which projected that by April 5, 179,267 beds would be needed. Twitter is filled with videos from around the country showing empty hospital waiting rooms and parking lots. In many places, doctors, nurses, etc. are being furloughed due to the lack of patients. That makes sense outside the hot zones. Lockdowns, canceling of elective surgery and other medical procedures have reduced traffic to a standstill. Add to that the fear of going to medical facilities could increase your chances of contracting the disease.

Where is the MSM? The are preoccupied with gotcha questions for Trump instead of asking more penetrating questions of Birx and Fauci about the deficiencies in the model and the under used medical facilities in most of the country.
