Coronavirus: Joe Biden Says He’s Willing to Shut Down Country Again
Breitbart ^ | 21 Aug 2020 | Joshu Caplan

Posted on 08/21/2020 7:07:13 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden revealed Friday that he would re-lock down the United States if scientists recommended the extreme measure to stop the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

“I would shut it down; I would listen to the scientists,” Biden replied when asked by ABC’s World News Tonight anchor David Muir if he would shut down the country if experts proposed the measure.

“I will be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus,” Biden, flanked by running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), said. “That is the fundamental flaw of this administration’s thinking to begin with. In order to keep the country running and moving and the economy growing, and people employed, you have to fix the virus, you have to deal with the virus.”

Biden’s remarks come one day after the former vice president pledged to implement a national mask mandate during his Democrat National Convention nomination acceptance speech. Days earlier, Biden said all Americans should wear masks “outside.”

“Let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide,” he proposed. “Every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at a minimum.”

Re-shutting down the country, something President Donald Trump has opposed, would be a move at least some Americans could potentially disagree with.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

Shut it down, burn it down, whatever.

You don't suppose getting him elected will stop the revolution?

I have been reflecting on my observations of Biden and his speech at the convention. I found my self more concerned then I ever had in the past. In past elections I was concerned about my country but something is different this time. This time I fear for my family. Observing Biden as he spoke I saw a man who clearly has mental issues. With his speaking patterns, facial expressions of half twisted smiles, anger, finger pointing, and fist pumps he seemed all to similar to Hitler for me.

I was thinking how Trumps pet name for sleepy is all too miss leading, For Biden plans to be very much in charge and he will have a small force of people who will carry out his will. Those who believe they will control him are misguided.

After some thought about what was most disconcerting with Biden I came to the conclusion it was his volatility. Since I was thinking prior on what would be a better name for him other then sleepy I looked up volcanic in the dictionary and to my dismay I found it was synonymous with the word barbarous.

You see, recently it was revealed to me a barbarous spirit has been very active in our country. I also noticed seeing articles of this behavior specifically using the word barbarism, which provided confirmation.

And now our country has a man filled of this spirit, up for the highest office in the land, who potentially will gain control of the most powerful military ever. And in his big speech he clearly states he is ready to use his position to muzzle all of us and any others who get in his way.

But to the name of Sleepy Joe and what it represents. No Biden is not a harmless old man who will fall asleep at meetings. He is an unstable man filled with a barbaric spirit looking to gain access to the highest position in the world.

President Trump it is time we call him by a truthful identifier we are not in a time for us to worry about political correctness.

Will God allow this to happen to us, only time will tell. It’s our choice for surely we live in a time of Nineveh. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to correct some of the things that has gotten us to this point.

If I’m outside without a mask and some busybody tells me to put on a mask, the person won’t have to worry about Covid-19, or anything else. Tonight, I walked into Wal-Mart without a mask. I felt normal...

Biden doesn’t have the authority to shut down states for health reasons.

Under our constitutional system, states have the power and responsibility for maintaining public order and safety. As we’ve seen since the outbreak began, decisions about limiting social interactions by ordering people to shelter in place, closing businesses and shutting schools are being made by governors and local officials. Those same officials will make the call about when to ease up.

Biden’s comments will be “just advisory.” The only time Biden can go into a state if he were president is for insurrection against the country or federal property.

I’ve thought of that. The paranoia and panic with the Karens and Chads are out of control. They will demand permanent masks.

Here is how they will react if someone coughs or sneezes. Sorry, but I couldn’t find a shorter video. You can fast forward to 1:00 in the video to see the reaction to the coughs/sniffles/sneezes.

Our Walmart requires masks to enter, but most people remove them as soon as they get inside, including me.

Even some employees pull their masks down. I haven’t seen anyone make a big deal out of it.

The only Karen I’ve experienced was a few weeks ago. A nutcase in front of me in the checkout line was donned in a full face shield, while wearing a mask under the shield. She also wore gloves and had the nerve to ask the cashier if she had covid.

The irony was the deranged Karen took almost thirty minutest to decide what kind and how many cigarettes she wanted. You really can’t make this stuff up.

I made loud remarks about how cigarettes would kill her before the covid. I usually don’t do that, but I was highly pissed at how long we had to wait on her.

Here in Alabama, school started this Thursday. Some schools started their football season tonight. On the pics and the videos of the games, I saw very few masks. Some stadiums had no masks. It was so wonderful because there was, finally, a sense of normalcy.

The Mask Nazis would clutch their pearls if they visited my favorite restaurant in town. No masks to be found, even among the employees.

Some much needed normalcy.

I’m sure Joe would turn the keys to our country over to Xi Zingping if asked. This imbecile is the most unqualified person in USA to take on the role of president, and Heel-Up Harris is the 2nd most unqualified. Pray for their defeat in November or be prepared to defend our lives against CCP.
