and a half months during which no one was allowed to leave this industrial city of 11 million people, or even leave their homes. Until the Chinese government deployed this tactic, a strict batten-down-the-hatches approach had never been used before to combat a pandemic. Yes, for centuries infected people had been quarantined in their homes, where they would either recover or die. But that was very different from locking down an entire city; the World Health Organization called it “unprecedented in public health history.”

Like Socialism, it only failed because we didn’t have the right people in charge. We need to do it all over again. It will surely work wonders next time, because we have better people. Right?
Woopsie. Sorry we tried to wreck your lives. Now listen when we tell you to eat bugs.
Are they sure it didn’t work?
How many people lost their livelihoods?
How many people were murdered with their approved procedures and not allowing folks to be treated properly?
How many families were destroyed over it?
How many people lost their jobs over it?
How many business owners were arrested for no reason?
Pretty sure the test run, exactly as planned. Now they know how to plug the holes that were exposed.
Will never trust the vaccine industry or testing industry. Very strange everyone discovered and produced test kits and vaccines at the exact same time for an unknown virus.
and it was all GWB’s fault... who knew?
Stopped reading at “there was a wave of COVID-19 cases as bad as anywhere in the world. (To be fair, this was partly because China did such a poor job of vaccinating its citizens.)”
The author seems to think the injections prevent infection and transmission.
Experement in Tyrany.
It gave the tyrannists control and instituted sheer Marxism. They got mail in ballots, closed churches… while cities burned. The planning started befor Obama defunded hyperviralization in 2014.
Trump served our freedom up on a platter and threw money at big pharma and people died alone in homes and hospitals without the humanity of a funeral.
This was an incredible success and we never get that freedom back. Lost it under a Republican no less.
It wasn’t enough that he offered them DACA, gave them a bumpstock ban and prison reform… nope.. he extinguished any chance of freedom with mail in ballots.
His amnesty dog whistle started thaw caravans and they are still going strong.
We had no toilet paper.
Never. Again.
Never forget, never forgive,
.
After the vaccines killed folks, those folks no longer transmitted the disease - right?
So they halfway worked.
Sorta.

Good summary!
On July 6,2020, Trump tweeted, “SCHOOLS MUST REOPEN IN THE FALL!!” If Trump said schools should reopen, that was reason enough forthose opposing him to assume they should stay closed. The teachers’ unions embraced the fight to keep teachers away from the classroom. as they were allies of, and contributors to, the Democratic Party, which dominated most major urban areas. They held enormous sway over big-city school systems.
By 2022, journalists, academics, and even some public-health officials were finally coming to grips with the enormous damage done to children — especially disadvantaged children — because of remote learning. In August 2022, Fauci announced that he planned to retire at the end of the year. Over the next few months, he made the rounds to discuss how the country had fared during the pandemic. Invariably, he was asked whether he regretted his forceful advocacy of lockdowns, especially given its effect on children. At one forum, he said, “Sometimes when you do draconian things, it has collateral negative consequences … on the economy, on the schoolchildren.” But, he added, “The only way to stop something cold in its tracks is to try and shut things down.” What he could never acknowledge was that “shutting things down” didn’t stop the virus, and that keeping schools closed didn’t save kids’ lives. Then again, to understand that, you had to be willing to follow the science.
no quarter
And…..
the test kits were proven to be faulty
The guy that invented the test said it shouldn’t be used for testing for covid
And something that is so odd to me: in 2019 26million flu cases. 2020 over 30million flu cases. 2021 1674
Folks were driving into parking lots and letting someone from a temp agency stick a QTip up their noses and then blindly accepting that they had covid.
How can you have a virus and be asymptomatic. You eithbhave it or you don’t.
A virus that over 99% of folks that got it, got over it without any medical intervention.
Nothing fails as spectacularly as liberal democrat policies...
Especially when they’re designed to.
This is not satire. The Biden campaign specifically said they could not have won (dragged Biden across the finish line) without Covid 19.
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
REMEMBER…..each NOVEMBER!
I am back in Vietnam for a while with, alas, a purely English keyboard. The local Chinese population with relatives in mostly southern China say that the Wuhan disease was pretty deadly in some of the areas that their ancestors hail from and that many more died or are dying than is allowed of by the government. I, myself, believe that what I have heard suggests that the virus was designed to attack a particular blood group and that it backfired; and instead of O it went for A or/and AB. The deaths in China may be way up in the millions while the actual deaths in America directly from WuFlu rather than from other causes like motorcycle accidents where the virus was present or from payment seeking deaths from other causes where the virus was present and from the wholesale use of ventilators and Remdesivir that killed so many, are very small as a percentage, about what occurs with seasonal flu.
I had over a year’s worth of toilet paper the day the first news story about covid dropped.
