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?
however, I thing Trump has handled his part well...HE HAD NO CHOICE...you can just imagine how the DBM would have broadcast night and day if one little old 90yro granny died if Trump didn't act or if he removed the sanctions too early....
anyway you look at it, he had no choice...
we know the virus is real and it can be deadly....
whether its worse then other viruses is yet to be seen...
here in Washington state, it looks like we are definitely on the down trend as I see....I'm sure our rat governor will milk it for all its worth...the rats in this state want an income tax and this will be the pretext...that the state is broke...
it all works well for them...
and if anybody things the rats care one bit about saving little old grannies, I have a bridge to sell you..
They quoted the death rate on Hannity’s show as 0.66%.
Let’s put that in perspective:
That’s 1 in 151 cases.
If unemployment hits 30%...that’s 45 in 151.
A study conducted in 2017 found that a 10% increase in unemployment would shorten the average life span of the population by 1.5 years.
We’re killing more people than we’re saving.
Very good!
On the same block where my friend lives (about 1-2 miles from my home) a guy was out mowing his lawn and mentioned he was going to have to go inside as he was getting a headache (presuming it was his sinuses from all the trees budding).
He laid down, woke up in the middle of the night with a really severe headache, cough, etc.
A couple of hours later, (the next day) his wife became concerned as he was developing a pretty significant temperature and took him to the urgent care center where they gave him some antibiotic and sent him home.
Yesterday, he fell unto a coma and they rushed him to emergency. This evening he died!
““Are people dying WITH coronavirus, or are people dying FROM coronavirus?”
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.
In many ways, Wuhan is bad for the Left. Liberal-left causes such as open borders, global warming and gun control are out of favor, as is political correctness; leftist-dominated schools and universities are shuttered, and the nation is rallying around President Trump.
Our ONLY Hope is Jesus! We know the rest of the story . . .we just don’t know what chapter we are in right now. The book of Revelation only takes about an hour to read and besides the Lord promises blessings to those who read and hear it. Have a listen!

God bless you, and thank you.
Oh for Pete’s sake already. This isn’t a WMD or a sinister plot to destroy the USA or the worlds economy by some NWO agenda or the Chinese. Or an insurance policy hatched by the Dems working with China to take out Trump... Nooooo. Everyone get a grip. If that were the case then the same hysteria should have happened in 2009/10 when the H1N1 virus was unleashed. Every year over 500,000 deaths worldwide from N1H1 and other various strains, and it’s considered routine! Granted the Marxist MSM finger-pointing, globalist and sick Soros funded organizations and people are hyping this into a frenzy to take advantage of a crisis, but come-on. When this crisis passes the deaths will be below 500,000 worldwide and we will endure a difficult economic recovery and road back to normalcy. Of course that’s my take on all this.
In the mean time stay vigilant and prepare for when the economy switches back on.
The only true words FDR ever said was..”The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.”
Don’t fear Trump is here.
at my hospital, we are using our face masks and wiping down our eye guards....unheard of....
The entire eplanet once again pays steep teep price for that one CIty.
9/11 and now WuhanFlu.
May every democrat in NYC perish.
This thing is going to affect the minds and souls of people in such ways. I already feel it in me. Anxiety is my middle name now.
Far as oil price goes, it’s dropping through the floor at the gas station. Seems like no one is buying it on top of the games the Saudis were playing just before this.
I got nowhere to go. I don’t even need gas. I’ve had a full tank for two weeks basically.
My God!
When I envision this happening to me in my mind, it plays out just like you described. Rapid onset followed by death.
That is just stunning.
I am in NW Florida, 25 miles east of Pensacola, small town, but big enough.
When we say it is, in force.
There are no quarantines for everyone with penalties. Where I am I can go out day or night with no penalties. Stop the drama. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Does it suck? Yes. Are people hurting from the economic shutdown? Yes. But it’s temporary. Are people dying from the virus? Yes...not nearly as many as the media will have us think, but the potential is for 100K, or more...not as much as the flu, but being it’s new and no vaccine, much hyped. Let’s keep perspective on all fronts.
