Life in the Time of Wuhan
American Thinker ^ | Sun, Mar 22, 2020 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 03/22/2020 5:50:10 AM PDT by upchuck

Crises have a way of sorting out the good people, ideas, and institutions from the bad, and as the Wuhan virus spreads throughout the world, the sorting process is made easier. The decision to close our borders to China, criticized by the WHO, the left, and media as “racist,” has proven to be essential, and the bien pensant governments around the world are now following suit, shutting down their borders to aid in containment...

If anything the changes that will be made in the aftermath across the board will be monumental. We have the right guy at the right time and the right team to solidify these changes for decades to come.

MANY things need to be made HERE.

Not moved from China to Singapore or India or wherever.

Here.

Some products are too important to be dependent on other countries for.

An excellent piece. Too much to comment on: the ill-suitedness of Liberal policies to deal with this; our debt to truckers and “simple” stock and check-out people; Trump’s genius to get things done.

Two things:

This virus is “amoral”, and I’m not talking about its origins. We’re going to find out what combats it.

It occurs to me that Liberalism is a luxury. Times have to be good, and other people have to work hard to support it.

“ The notion that cities like Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, whose leaders have undermined the rule of law and law enforcement, will suddenly be able to get the will and manpower to enforce lockdown of the residents defies all probability.”

Massive understatement.

“It occurs to me that Liberalism is a luxury.”

One silver lining to this is the liberal “global warming” agenda is off the table; NJ was close to implementing a disposable plastic bag ban, and it isn’t even mentioned anymore - AT ALL. Individuals opposed to it were very vocal about how unsanitary it could be re-using cloth bags...

The plastic bag bans and their unsanitary replacement is one of the issues brought up in the article. I believe the policy is still in place in NYC, what will be Ground Zero.

I noticed that a nearby Dollar General seemed to skirt the issue when my items were bagged in thick plastic bags - clearly marked “Reusable - good for 125 uses”.

Brilliant!

Does the article also talk about the discussions regarding LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ people?

Excellent piece by Clarice!

Mayors who let thousands of homeless people tent out on their streets where they relieved themselves daily amid piles of rat-ridden heaps of trash and drug paraphernalia, will learn some lessons about public health. Nancy Pelosi, who for three and a half years accused the president of treason and exceeding his constitutional powers, now begs him to assume dictatorial powers.

A day of reckoning is coming, but sadly only after a huge price to our nation.

***Some products are too important to be dependent on other countries for***

As we were hollering in the '90s as Slick Willy was selling us out to the ChiComs. Also, we warned about the danger of a $45bil a year trade deficit with China. D.C. was so responsive to that warning that by the end of the 0bummer Admin the deficit was $450bil a year and China was considered the world's new super power.

Donald Trump has been attempting to change all that for our better -- and has made himself the target of globalist enemies, like Chinese virus pandemics.

Nancy Pelosi, who for three and a half years accused the president of treason and exceeding his constitutional powers, now begs him to assume dictatorial powers. The mainstream media is almost entirely discounted as a source of reliable news and is reduced to posing ignorantly framed gotcha questions at the conclusions of transparent first-class White House briefings.

Clarice tells it like it is.
