Politico: Dems beg Biden for a COVID strategy "reset"
Hot Air ^ | 12 Jan 2022 | Ed Morrisey

Posted on 01/13/2022 9:28:39 AM PST by Rummyfan

Perhaps it would be more accurate to state that Democrats looking at a midterm abyss want an actual, coherent strategy from Joe Biden on COVID-19. Politico reports that grumbling has grown so loud from Biden’s allies on Capitol Hill that a few of them are willing to state on the record that whatever Biden’s doing on the pandemic isn’t working — medically or politically.

The problem is that Biden’s continually playing checkers in a three-dimensional chess world, and it shows:

Record hospitalizations. A nationwide scramble for tests. Entire school districts forced to shutter.

As a brutal surge of Omicron infections hits an exhausted nation, a growing number of Democrats are urging the Biden White House to reset its Covid battle plan to prevent what they fear could mushroom into a crisis of trust in public health authorities as cases spike in virtually every state.

Democrats acknowledge that the latest Covid-19 variant is the most vexing to date, with plenty still unknown about its severity and resistance to treatments. But many are warning that some messaging from agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is fueling more confusion, and the government needs to evolve in its response to keep up with a dramatically changing virus.

Don't look to Biden for anything - he doesn't know what day it is.

“Don’t look to Biden for anything - he doesn’t know what day it is.”

Exactly. Whatever decisions are made, come from the radical left cabal running the White House.

The only meaningful reset would be to call an end to all vaccine and mask mandates, admit these are not working. Ask and let everyone make their own individual or family choice.

The testing available to a small number of white-collar professionals underscores the difference between their pandemic experience and that of other Americans, putting them at an advantage over many, including workers at small businesses without the means to procure testing kits for their staffs.

That's true. My company figured out the obvious last summer: if people are going to return the the office we'll need tests, so they ordered enough tests for every employee to take three a week for a year.

We don't have the "world's leading" laboratory scientist (aka infectious disease specialist) on staff and we still managed to figure that out.

It's another example of "You'd need a PhD to be that stupid."

What would they do as a reset? MOAR shots and MOAR tests? More penalties against the unvaccinated? More of the same is about all they can do. The entire point was to get rid of the #badorangeman via mail-in voting (a/k/a “cheating”). They never thought past that in political terms. They are so committed to the narrative that changing it will be difficult.

Oh, make no mistake - the Dems care ONLY about the political side of COVID. They don’t give a sh** about the medical side.

And allow people to make the —choice— of what treatments to get; no more “this med is not for covid” when that med is an established medicine that is in use worldwide (ex: Indian state of Uttar Pradesh).
