After Biden Failed to 'Shutdown the Virus,' The Leftist Elite Have a New Narrative on COVID

resident Joe Biden campaigned against President Donald Trump by claiming he, unlike his opponent, would shut down Wuhan coronavirus and get America back to normal.

Yesterday, the U.S. posted a record number of virus cases. After Biden rejected a comprehensive testing plan in October, tests for the disease are nowhere to be found.

Amid a record-breaking surge, the U.S. is now averaging more COVID-19 cases per day than at any other point in the pandemic, according to new data updated on Wednesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Federal data shows the nation is now reporting an average of more than 277,000 new cases a day, shattering the previous record of 250,000 cases per day from last January.

But now that the Acela corridor is being hit hard by new cases, the leftist elite is changing their tune on how it should be handled.

.@chrislhayes on the weird reality for vaccinated folks amid omicron wave:

The risk went from something we hadn’t really dealt with before in our lifetimes, to something that looks more like the flu. The flu can still be dangerous—but we do not reorient our lives around the flu. pic.twitter.com/4K5qNOplpW — All In with Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) December 30, 2021

As we recognize that covid-19 is not a deadly or even severe disease for the vast majority of responsible Americans, we can stop agonizing over “cases” and focus on those who are hospitalized or at risk of dying.https://t.co/S4OQD7R58u — Jennifer 'pro-voting' Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) December 28, 2021

We've known since summer 2020 Wuhan coronavirus is deadly for the elderly, obese and those with pre-existing health conditions. For the rest of the population and especially for children, the survival rate after infection tops 99 percent according to the Centers for Disease Control.

During the previous administration, these same people pinned every case and death on President Trump while backing brutal lockdowns and economic disruptions. Now that their guy, Biden, can't get things under control, they're finally accepting the reality that government can't control the spread of a highly contagious disease.

Well, two years ago it was dangerous because Orange Man Bad was POTUS. Now that Uncle Poopy’s in orifice, COVID is like a health serum (and not the fed’s problem anyway).

This would’ve been the original narrative in any other time had Trump not been in office!

“Many of the DumbMasses will fall for it.”

In keeping with what we are seeing I put that number at 1/3 of the voters.

My son keeps me and him in total quarantine. My 841/2 year old husband was also included in the quarantine, but he passed away on November 12 of heart failure.

My son does the grocery shopping but he does not let me ride with him and go with him in the store, because I am handicapped. I have a degenerated Disk decease, and a degenerated Hip joint decease and can only walk very slowly with a cane. He says I don't want to have to drag you around.

And don’t forget SARS-I or swine flu, or whatever it was where Ebola’s response was “Stop testing for it”

I tried suggesting to The Bee a headline along the lines of:

“With Omicron Strain now setting infection records in the Northeast, experts support the efforts of the Biden Administration to let this virus burn through, with herd immunity being the result”

“While Republicans will claim, without evidence, that masks and vaccinations are not controlling the spread of the virus, the latest science is saying that letting the virus burn through is the best idea, although that is expected to meet with Republican resistance, based on their unsubstantiated claims of ‘I told you so’.”

"President Joe Biden campaigned against President Donald Trump by claiming he, unlike his opponent, would shut down Wuhan coronavirus..."

"That is a boldface lie. I have never claimed I would shut down the "Wuhan" flu. I said I would shutdown the "Mulan" movie. This movie has ravaged our youth's imaginations, using deadly instruments of war, and I have instructed the Department of Justice to collect every copy of this horrid movie in the United States. If it saves just one child, it must be done!"

Yeah but you have to be around people that have the virus. If you are not, than there is no danger. So I am not worried about it.

I believe the China virus that most likely came from the Wuhan lab was dangerous. Dr. Fauci, Dr. Collins and other scientists knew about the Covid 19 or China virus because they, using taxpayer dollars, funded the Gain of Function research at the Wuhan Lab. The Wuhan lab created the virus.
Because Dr. Fauci, and Peter Dasik were regularly In Contact with the “bat lady” heading the Wuhan lab experiments, they knew about the deadly virus and ways that might help mitigate the virus. Their silence, and the silence of the Chinese government, IMO led to the deaths of people around the world.
15 days to stop the spread, only vaccines would protect us from dying from the China virus Fauci and Dr. Birx stated over and over again. Therapeutics would not work they said. Dr. Collins succeeded, with the help of big tech and the media to censor the voices of physicians who actually treated patients and demanded therapeutics.
You now know why the medical “establishment”, big tech and corporate media have such little credibility. They lied to us ,over, and over again.
