After Biden Failed to 'Shutdown the Virus,' The Leftist Elite Have a New Narrative on COVID
Townhall.com ^ | December 30, 202021 | Katie Pavlich

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.

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.

What many of us shouted 2 years ago, when data from The Diamond Princess became available.

And the CDC, FDA, etc. ignored it, even though it was the perfect, though unintentional, experiment.

Reality check.

COVID-19 is airborne.

That means, “in the air, everywhere”.

It is ENDEMIC.

We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.

This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.

You can’t mask it away.
You can’t [anti]”socially distance” it away.
You can’t even “deep clean” it away.
And {{{shudder}}} YOU CAN’T EVEN VACCINATE IT AWAY!

Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID.
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!

If Trump had gone a whole year without a news conference on covid they would have condemned him for it.
More people died during biden’s term than in Trump’s last year, and the media didn’t blame biden.
If Trump had said that his government can do nothing and that the states should look after themselves, they would have condemned him for it.

TOTAL BIAS!

Acela - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Acela
The Acela is Amtrak’s flagship high-speed service along the Northeast Corridor (NEC) in the Northeastern United States between Washington, D.C. and Boston.

The elites from Harvard, Yale and other blue ribbon universities fill up most of the seats.

Chris Hayes "we do not reorient our lives around the flu."

No, we don't.

So what this clown's excuse for what's has been going on the last TWO years?

No tests, then no cases. And if they can redefine “vaccine” to suit their narrative, they can certainly redefine “pandemic”, so that the problem instantly vanishes. Thus ends the crisis.

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.


And the media elites within the leftist elite, definitely are changing their reporting.

It was easy for the media to beat up on Trump regarding the virus. But now that Trump is gone, they aren’t beating up on Biden.

Indeed, how does Biden get away with saying that the virus problems are a state issue, not a federal issue? Is it because the media will not cover the rank hypocrisy of such statements? Biden and Harris campaigned on how they would shut down the virus. Biden said he had a plan for tackling the virus, as opposed to Trump’s alleged ineptitude.

But now with these latest developments, now Biden is allowed to get away with saying that it isn’t really a federal issue in the first place. The implication being that the president is not a key person to blame for same. But when Trump was president, that was the major liberal view, that the president was somehow uniquely responsible for how the virus spread, and his alleged shortcomings in dealing with it.

I think you all know what I’m saying.

“No tests, then no cases. And if they can redefine “vaccine” to suit their narrative,...”

They will wait an appropriate period of time while announcing ever increasing “cases” and then suddenly one day announce a sharp drop in “cases” and days later will claim the virus has morphed to just another common flu and is no longer a danger.

Right - as we have been saying all along.

It was suspect from the very beginning - as soon as the people on that cruise ship all survived.

The next give-away was the fact that everyone who died of Covid was already dying of something else.

Then after a month it was obvious the Left was trying to scuttle Trump’s election year economy.

I’m 69, and a bit overweight, and I was just never afraid of Covid for a minute.

Declare victory and move on. Gotta do it before the 2022 election.
“From the Darkness of the Pandemic into the light…”. It’s a great campaign theme. Many of the DumbMasses will fall for it.

I'm a bit younger and lighter and have always been more afraid of government overreach and overreaction than of the disease itself.
