White House Looks to Be Planning for 'Wave of Infection,' Just in Time for Midterms, Advises Indoor Masking
TownHall ^ | Rebecca Downs

Posted on 05/22/2022 11:27:56 PM PDT by NoLibZone

During his Sunday morning appearance on ABC's "This Week," Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health and the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, spoke of an expected surge of Wuhan coronavirus cases for the coming fall and winter. In other words, the surge is expected to come right before the November midterms.

When asked by host Martha Raddatz about the expected surge, Dr. Jha explained they are indeed "planning for a variety of scenarios including a wave of infection this fall and winter," which he used as an opportunity to push "making that sure we have a new generation of vaccines that are being worked on right now, that we have availability of treatments and testing, and we have the resources."

Like President Joe Biden has done, Dr. Jha also made a push for Congress to pass funding against the virus. "By the way, one of the reasons I’ve been talking a lot about the need for Congress to step up and fund this effort, is if they don't, Martha, we will go into the fall and winter without that next generation of vaccines, without treatments and diagnostics," he warned. "That’s going to make it much, much harder for us to take care of and protect Americans."

When it comes to funding, Americans don't seem to be as worried as the administration. According to an Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index released last Wednesday, the numbers are pretty evenly split, but the smallest amount, at 31 percent, say funding is not enough. A plurality, at 35 percent, say it's the right amount, while 33 percent say it's too much.

If I were the DNC I would do it. The Republicans put up zero fight last time and will not fight this time either. Oh sure they’ll be a few guys flying to Gadsten flag in the back of your pick up truck and waving their rifles in the air but that’s about it.

So we have to go back to masking BUT we can let 2 million illegals in with no vaccine, or vetting or medical checks. How dumb are we.

I expect the flu this winter.

For me, it’s vitamins C, D3 and Zinc.

I also recommend against smoking, but that’s just me.

As in susceptible to flu, I DO wear a mask when cold wind is blowing.

That’s one good use I found for them.

This is nothing. Next pandemic after this will be considered so contagious that even hearing or seeing it’s name will infect a person. Government will r=commend staying at home permanently, full hazmat gear, avoiding contact with other family members, wearing eclipse grade eye protectors, and high grade ear defenders plus ear plugs. How are we supposed to eat? Not their problem.

It is not the White House planning anything more complicated than the sprinkler schedule for lawn. Someone or several someone else's are actually in control.

They need an excuse for widespread mail-in ballots. The potential for fraud with these systems will ensure their continued reign of power.
