Because politicians make the decisions.
Politicians force people to do things. That’s what passing a law does. Politics attracts people who want to order people to do things. So if there is a problem, their reaction is based on threats and coercion without even trying to persuade.
Their actions are stupid and done with little thinking. If they had a good strategy, they would be able to simply persuade people without using force. That they use force shows that their strategy is stupid.
What would have the reaction been with Obama in office instead of Trump?
The World Wide Deep State knew they weren’t going to let this crisis go to waste. All you have to do is compare and contrast with the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic.
Bill Gates has been pushing pandemic panic for years now. He did a dry run of the global shutdown and socialist distancing messaging at a “conference” cabal in October 2019.
How convenient.
Those globalist hate BRexit and HATE Trump et al.
“shut them down”
Now the Democrats are saying that “this is no time” to pass any legislation that Trump wants or to finish putting his nominees on the bench. They have sought “resisting” his administrative powers at ever turn. 4 years of Russia Russia Russia investigations (they started BEFORE Trump was in office).
Someone threatened an Alf reboot sitcom.
I think it all starts and stops with China... upon the outbreak, after initial local denials, they bulldozed roads to block off roads aRound Wuhan and the military directly took over the biological lab. We found that several Chinese scientists at the lab had previously worked on same virus at US lab, we see pictures and reports of lax controls and practices, now we find out that Obama admin spent at least $3.8 million in research at that Chinese lab. And this is what we know so far. Seems like it is an open secret except to the public. That the virus came from the lab is clear, the accused bats are over 900 miles away and not even sold at the blamed market. What biological earth is China and US doing here and elsewhere? Why was US doing any research in China?
They will do anything including mass shootings/poisonings/etc to try to take the heat off.
I don’t know the answer. But Trump did say we were attacked by a “hidden enemy.” His words. He knows something he has not yet revealed.
The only thing that makes sense to me, at least the reaction domestically, is that the virus did in fact escape, intentionally or otherwise, the bio lab near Wuhan and the spooks in DC could not assure Trump that it wasnt a catastrophic bioweapon. Remember the classified briefing given early on to congress? If so Trump had no choice but to err on the side of caution.
Now that its clear there’s no need to continue house arrest, Trump can hardly say Oops, my bad forget the whole thing. So opening up is going to take longer than it should.
Various governors and mayors have varying motivations to continue control, from a power trip to a Chicken Little outlook on life.
If Doctor Evil was custom-designing a virus to infect as many people as possible, this sequence would be almost ideal for the purpose.
MUCH more effective than the fictional nerve toxin in Close Encounters of the Third Kind; the toxin in the story line taking effect almost immediately, as well as missing having no transmission human-to-human capabilities.
A better analogy would be The Mockingjay, part 2, where at the gates of President Snow's mansion the first bomb blast creates a selection of wounded victims, and the second blast hours later takes out the first responders plus good people helping out as well as survivors of the initial blast.
It strikes me that he repeatedly refers to “the hidden enemy” in his press conferences. Whether global or domestic, I’m convinced he’s talking about more than COVID-19.
What that is we may never know, but I do know President Trump and America can use our prayers.
coz our leaders no longer come from society (except Trump) but are almost uniformally career politicians who only know appearance and virtue signaling.
Combine that with a set of “scientists” who have entrenched themselves at the same public trough and want to appear as ideological masters rather than give sound advice and you’ve got a stew of corruption, idiocy and actions which are mindbogglingly insane.
TL;DR - they’re stupid.
That doesn’t belay the fact that this flu is virulent and spreads easily (See the meat packing plant in Logansport IN and a Wal-Mart in another state that has 20% of its staff infected in the span of a week) and you’ve got politicans playing CYA and going dictatorial.
Re-opening so people can continue their lives is paramount but we’ll need real leadership to stay on top of this and mitigate micro outbreaks as they occur
I know Freeper Karen and Ken are biting nails and sucking thumb throughout this. Control and political power has overtaken what once was a very real health crisis. Even our side has gotten into the game. If we lay what was done by Obama through multiple and similar health crisis with the reaction by the media over what we have now,it is quite shocking. The common denominator of these “leaders” is the inner tyrant coming out. I expect this from other countries but some of the American states are DISGUSTING with the governors and lower government. The DNC overall is nothing less now than a socialist party and a very grave threat to our Republic. This BS “new normal” and aftermath is a blank check to those who want to rape our society.
Today, information is dispersed instantly around the world. Those in power are more inclined to react or overreact quickly to a perceived worldwide crisis.
Sincere concern from certain medical and health professionals.
Politicians both right and left have learned to exploit crisis' as never before for their own political ends. "Never let a crisis go to waste".
Globalists interests.
Communists interests.
Pharma interests.
Bureaucrat interests (Fauci, Birx, CDC, NIH, WHO).
Business self-interests. Who gains from this crisis?
Elites self interest.
Your mind is fertile because its full of manure.
H5N1. That is the reason.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H5N1
It was the “perfect storm” influenza, the “thermonuclear” influenza. It had every advantage to make it the ultimate disease, with human fatalities originally estimated to be well over a billion people. Likewise, most farm and domestic animals could catch it as well, so even if it didn’t wipe out people directly, they would still starve to death.
The world medical community was so terrified that even North Korea, which normally ignores epidemics, agreed to help.
Some idiot scientist managed to show that with just 5 ordinary mutations, it could have emerged as a human to human transmitted disease. But for unknown reasons it never did.
The world was very close to a biological apocalypse.
And the world’s response was poor. Even the US had no real plan of what to do, what our strengths and weaknesses were.
So I have a strong suspicion that at that time, it was decided that when the next highly infectious, but otherwise ordinary disease rolled around, which happens with fair frequency, that the world medical community would pretend that it was serious, and quarantines at the national level would be tested, to see if they work.
And the US and other nations have learned a heck of a lot so far.
So I would put this all down to being a massive training exercise, so we will have some idea of what to do if we ever face a real threat, like H5N1, again
The goal is a Stalinist police state.
Ooh! Conspiracy theories! Heres mine: I think Americans are not being immunized for TB because the vaccine conveys health benefits beyond fighting TB for various inflammatory based illnesses that the pharmaceutical industry is currently making a ton of money on. The elites will all tell you that you cant stop contagious disease like Covid-19 with borders, but long before there was Covid-19 there was TB, and our porous borders are letting sick people through as well as well people. If it is true that the elites actually gave a flying crap about our health, then why the hypocrisy on TB? I think the American people have been purposefully weakened by big pharma in order to make money, and that sets up the situation where anyone with a good lab and bad intent can hold our nation hostage.
NWO has no loyalty to country.
President Trump, Brexit, and a few other leaders needed to be hobbled.
