Covid will be gone Nov 4 of this year. If Biden wins all will return to normal within a week. Do I have any bets?

[FirstFlaBn]

Six paragraphs to get to the subject. Writing is dead.

I don’t know, I thought his writing was excellent and the way he made the point was unassailable.

Not Rowe, but Becca.

[Vaquero]

No. You are correct. We are currently in a state of coup d’etat forged by the media and the dhimmicrat party.

[SisterK]

Ten years this has been on the radar? Yet here we are? Somebodies need to be fired.

[Robert DeLong]

Good response. If I might though:

It would take us a while to access the risk

I assume he meant assess, not access.

[bigdaddy45]

It’s called story telling

[BipolarBob]

If Biden wins all will return to normal within a week. Do I have any bets?

Yeah, I will take some of that action. NOTHING will be normal under a Biden presidency. It will be utter chaos.

Living Terrors: What America Needs to Know to Survive the Coming Bioterrorist Catastrophe Hardcover – September 12, 2000 by Michael T. Osterholm Ph.d (Author), John Schwartz

This book will tell you what that will mean when the inevitable happens, and what we as a nation can and must do now to protect ourselves, our families, and the basic elements of our society that bioterrorism puts at risk.

You will also learn why the billions being spent to combat terrorism miss the mark when it comes to fighting microbial terror. It will show why biological terrorism is becoming so much more likely, and examines the challenges of government response to it.

The book you hold in your hands is a manifesto, urging each of us to prepare for the inevitable or pay a stupendous toll in human lives. It lays out a prescription for survival--for our nation, and for us all.

“Ten years this has been on the radar?”

And more recently:

In 2017, “Anthony S. Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said there is ‘no doubt’ Donald J. Trump will be confronted with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency.”

It’almost like Fauci KNEW his invention, Covid-19, would rear it’s head if required to sabotage Trump. He couldn’t have known ... could he?

[Lurker]

Us too. He’s a real American treasure.

Rowe 2024.

That’d be top of a wishlist.

Osterholm believes the U.S. is eventually looking at between 800,000 and 1.6 million dead from Covid-19. That means either he expects fatalities to continue at the same rate for another two years or for mortality to accelerate. Neither seems likely to me. In fact I think it would contradict the pattern of all previous pandemics.

[xrmusn]

Yeah, I will take some of that action. NOTHING will be normal under a Biden presidency. It will be utter chaos.

I think he MAY mean it to be like the guy goes to the doctor and says his left leg hurts.

The Doctor probes around, runs a test or two and takes a hammer and smashes his thumb.

“OUCH!! why in the hell did you do that? You ruined my thumb”

“NOT thinking of your Leg are you?”
