“I was talking with my U.K. colleagues who are saying the U.K. is similar to where we are now, because each of our countries have that independent spirit,” he said on stage. “I can understand that, but now is the time to do what you’re told.”
Liberals in government generally consider an “independent spirit” to be inconvenient, and in their view, any time is a good time for the rest of us to do what we are told. But there is little evidence that either mask mandates or shutdowns even slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Which leaves the more fundamental question: is it desirable to slow the spread of COVID? I think the answer is No. This virus, like other similar illnesses, is working its way through the population. Having started in urban areas, where transmission is faster for obvious reasons, it is now hitting rural and small town areas. This was totally predictable. I doubt that anything government could have done in the past, or could do in the future, will have any substantial effect on the toll the disease ultimately takes–a toll that, fortunately, is limited by the fact that COVID is dangerous to those who are elderly, frail and sick, but far less dangerous than many other risks to everyone else.
At this point, in my opinion, COVID is mostly a political phenomenon, an excuse for expansion of government power for which liberals, for many years, have been yearning. “Do what you’re told” is the classic fascist/socialist/authoritarian command. Sadly, there are a great many Americans who are happy to obey.

Doing what you’re told requires trust, and Fauci is a liar.
I call him the “Covid Diva.”
Coronavirus and DC politics is an opera and he’s found his public role as the Prima Donna and he’s loving it.
Option #1: President Byte-Me orders a national lockdown for 8 weeks. Afterwards, COVID-19 somehow miraculously is deemed 'under control.' The Commander-in-Thief takes credit.
Option #2: We still stay under national house arrest because the POWER that COVID gives the Demonrats is just too irresistible.
Dearest “doctor” Fake-shi...FU. Have a GREAT day!
“Obey Science. I am Science.”
