The bizarre handling of Coronavirus and the obvious destruction of the United States of America......
I find myself seventy three years old here in Pittsburgh and deeply worried about the present and future of our country.
As the days go by the problems ahead for the nation seem bleaker.
My wife and I are Trump people yet this entire ugly event seems bigger and more evil than even he and his administration can solve.
The quote below sums up the feeling I have about how the American people are being treated. I really cannot see a way out of this. The evil plan to destroy our country seems too big and well planned. I hope I am wrong.
Any thoughts?

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.”
”This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
-- C.S. Lewis

As an aside, one question we might want to ask is, “Are people dying WITH coronavirus, or are people dying FROM coronavirus?
I spoke to my cousin on Long Island, NY yesterday.
Her husband is a retired high school teacher on Long Island.
She told me that the parents of one of her husband’s former students routinely spend the winter in the Palm Beach area.
This husband and wife are (or were) in the early 1970’s.
They both contracted the coronavirus in Florida recently and ended up in the same hospital room. The two of them died within 15 minutes of each other recently. Awful.
I would if I could. It’s heavy.
At least they went to The Lord together. That story makes me sad.
Well, Hannity is a recovering FluBro. He hasn’t seen all the data with newly opened eyes, yet.
It’s 2% under all the best circumstances.
1 in 50.
That will shorten life expectancy.
Where does the 30% unemployment figure come from? How does it relate to current circumstances? And which unemployment statistic does it apply to? There are several that people with agendas cherry-pick among for what ever propaganda it is they are trying to spread.
Perhaps not.
No human beings are clever enough to have planned and controlled events at the level that we are seeing. Nobody is that powerful - for which we can be thankful.
However, people who would destroy the USA are clearly exploiting this pandemic in an opportunistic manner, attempting to fundamentally transform this country. They will "never let a crisis go to waste".
It is entirely proper to keep a skeptical eye on all Government activities, and make contingency plans to course-correct or roll back some of them.
And in every large organization, there are always people who desperately need to be fired.
I agree. Most U.S. folks who died after being diagnosed with COVID-19 are over 70 years-old and perish as a result of PNEUMONIA!
Good to hear.
ONE really good thing happened to me lately. I just found a great conservative talkshow woman here in Pittsburgh ..... Wendy Bell.
She has 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. show weekdays (KDKA am).
SHE IS FANTASTIC!! You gotta hear her!
I really wouldn't be at all surprised if this woman takes over for Rush if and when he may want to quit. She is that good (and right).
“Exactly. By now, since this virus has been with us since at least last October, I would wager NO ONE hasn’t been exposed to it.”
Now you are spreading false information.
Provide a source for your October claim.
Provide a source for your claim that no one hasn’t been exposed.
The soon to be available to all antibody tests will expose you as a liar.
Paragraph four in my post #101 should read....”This husband and wife are (or were) in their early 70’s.”
I don’t know where I got the “1970’s.” No excuse...I just drank some strong coffee, too.
Huh.
One of the recent posts in your record suggests that you have at least some (if only nominal) faith in ‘The Lord’.
Exercise that faith.
I have been uneasy about all the “stay home, close stores, close everything, dire consequences forecast”..
if someone wanted to cause trouble for Trump summer before an election, this would put him between a rock and another rock..
people dying makes the decisions important.. but so is the country falling into wrong hands.
we cant go like this till June.. and it doesnt matter what they say, we cant.. the country cant.
nothing is as bad as some have said.. and careful with believing the experts.
Im not prepared to trust anyone past Trump.

Ain’t the End of the World.
Your message is right, although your death toll seems optimistic and your economic projections pessimistic. I guess we’ll see in the next few weeks if we get over the peak.
Wendy Bell (KDKA) —— check her out. Lots of positive energy.

How bad is it? And how sudden was the change?
That’s true, and I’m trying, but I’m just a man.
I thank you for that advice.
I filled up last time I drove anywhere and added another 5 gallon can to the stash. That was more than a week ago.
Will likely do another run for perishables unless the store is delivering. Or we get “hot” around here.
Well, Trump isn’t a scientist or medical expert; but he has chosen a team of medical *experts* to help him.
Are you going to trust the President for your medical advice, or will you trust the team that he has put together, which he approves, and behind which he stands?
Make up your mind.
Has your hospital gotten busier....than last week when I remember you said it wasn’t....just wondering.
If you were president or tsar, what would you do?
