Those of us who knew about the exponential trajectory of pandemics understood the reasons for the initial emergency measures. Unlike you, once the numbers weren't taking off, I abandoned that position in favor of one that assumes CV has been in the US for at least as long as Wuhan. That position more logically explains why the socially restricted elderly & economically/medically disadvantaged co-morbids represent the lagging, not leading edge of a CV infection wave.
But, but that doesn't explain why Trump faithfully gets back up on the podium day after day talking about the "surge" that never comes; that is most likely never going to come. Instead, he rattles off production numbers, facilities preparations, extolling our military preparedness, etc. No one every seems to ask the most pertinent question, which is why isn't there "any there, there?"
So, I'm going with the "we're (un)officially at war with China" conclusion. That's why the carrier captain was cashiered - our advance position group revealed to have critical strategic weaknesses. It's why Pompeo has told every American to get back home. It's why the borders are locked down. It's why the governors are allowed to violate core constitutional rights with impunity.
It all makes sense through a national security lens.
Your post makes sense by the boat loads!
I keep coming back to Pompeo calls all Americans home.....even sending every means available to pick them up!
That is a grabber!
Sort of. If this was a bio-weapon, the only effective part of it has been the media-driven panic that has made us shut down our country, which of course benefits China...
Very disappointed in Trump for not getting us back to work again. I know he’s been listening to the experts, etc., but he’s obviously not listening to Americans anymore.
