The Morning Report - 4/23/20

justfoll.jpg

Good morning, kids. Thursday, and another grim milestone of yet another day of America held hostage. Whether it was Shampeachment or the high tech lynching of Justice Kavanaugh or the threat of mass migration invasion, I used to think that all I was doing every morning was just recycling the previous day's editorial over and over again. And here I am again. But those were nothing compared to the Chinese Coronavirus induced psy-op to scare the nation into self-destruction. Yet still I persist because what we are going through is quite literally life and death, and I am not referring to a virus no matter how many lives it actually is responsible for taking.

However all of us, including the President were hoodwinked into shutting down the nation state by state is a matter that needs to be investigated thoroughly. Look what I'm saying considering the aftermath of the plot to overthrow Trump. Let's face it; the same bad actors in politics, the bureaucracy and the media who drove all of those narratives are the ones that are driving this one. Cruel as this may sound, 60,000 deaths - if that number can even be trusted - cannot, does not and never will justify destroying the lives of 331,000,000 citizens (illegal aliens in that group excluded). Yet, to the Democrat-Media Complex, it certainly does. It is inarguable that each of those lives since January 20th, 2017 improved immeasurably in terms of opportunities, the resulting wealth accrual they led to, and overall freedom. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness had not nearly so closely resembled what the Founding Fathers had in mind in decades, perhaps even a century. And then came late February of this year.

I'm pausing for a moment because I am honestly on the verge of tears as I collect my thoughts and try to write something coherent. I'm also enraged because what we are enduring amounts to a Reichstag Fire moment. Please do not fucking lecture me about the massive deaths from Chinese Lung AIDS that warranted the actions taken. The models and statistics are about as reliable as a Magic 8 Ball and the confirmed mortality rate is somewhere in the 0.1-0.3% range which is akin to a bad flu season. What is being done to us has never happened before; not during all the other outbreaks, not after the stock market crashes, not after 9/11. Never. This is tyranny, straight up. It's at our throats with a My Pillow in one hand and a Khalid Shiekh Mohammed rusty hacksaw in the other. The past three years were a complete refutation and rejection of the anti-American progressive globalist enterprise. In fact, it might have been down for the count. This virus was not planned, but it was an opportunity that was seized upon not only to destroy Trump, but to punish us for electing him, and now the opportunity to subjugate us permanently.

There is indeed a plague upon this nation. It is the Globalist Left that includes the Democrat Party, the propagandist media, governmental bureaucracy, academia and anyone and everyone who support it. Ronald Reagan once said:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

You tell me if what is going on right here and right now is not an extinction-level event. Because it sure as hell is. Tick-tock-tick-tock.

35 My sister hasn't set foot out of her house in a month and a half. Has all her meals and groceries delivered. She told me last night she's never leaving her house again. Ever. Because she "doesn't want to die."

She says she can run her consulting business entirely from home. She can't and she knows it. My mom has to beg me not to tell my crazy sis that she leaves the house to do essential shopping because my sister goes ballistic on her.

My sister sits around the house all day long watching CNN and MSNBC and glued to her tablet reading all the Doomer articles. She has completely lost her mind because she believes every word she hears from the only media she follows.

My sister is not a Karen. She was not born a Karen and has never been a Karen. The MFM broke her.

I had to tell her "I prefer to die on my feet, not on my knees" and hang up.

41 "...as well as continued state-sponsored terrorism from pigs like Nipsy Cuomo, Grinchen Whitmer and Jay Inbreed."

Half-Whitmer announced yesterday in her press conference that there is likely another extension of the stay-at-home order coming.

The new justification mantra is "second wave".

The numbers are falling and people were waking up to this fact and thinking "why the hell are we still being told to stay home?"

And just like that, they came up with something that does not rely on real world numbers, but goes back to "models". "Second wave".

No words for the level of my disgust, anger and aggravation...

Other than a short stint in a no-show "job" at a mobbed-up law firm (much akin to Michelle Obama's "job" at the hospital), he's been feeding at the public trough his entire life.

"You tell me if what is going on right here and right now is not an
extinction-level event. Because it sure as hell is. Tick-tock-tick-tock."




You are so right and perfectly stated. I've been saying this from the beginning. My Army vet friend didn't believe me, bought the propaganda, told me this was a pandemic as never seen before in human history. Now he understands. I hope many more do. This is really the "final solution" event growing out of their four year campaign to destroy Trump. They couldn't take him down individually or by going after various associates and family, so they've decided to take us all down. Strangely, it may actually be easier.

________________

Meh, not buying that "second wave will be worse" stuff. These corona viruses morph and change quickly, and from all accounts the current one is doing that also. Yes it will still be around in the fall (and next spring, etc.), but chances are that it will be less lethal and much easier to shake off, much like the current version of the 1918 Spanish flu is today.

Posted by: Nevergiveup at April 23, 2020 08:06 AM (nRk/c)

68 Warning wall of text. Saw this posted on FB and I cna't attribute it or link to the original but it is...perfect:

I am going to try again to throw this out. I've typed it about twelve times and then stopped. It's so touchy.

I am seeing so much anxiety about resuming business, and so much anger about continued regulations. People are feeling the need to catapult to one side or the other, then fight the opposition.

Here's my perspective, from a mainstream medical model. I think a lot of folks have fallen into the idea that social distancing was meant to stop the viral spread. It wasn't-it was meant to SLOW it while we put medical infrastructure in place. It has worked. We have, in most parts of Georgia, not been overwhelmed like we likely would have been without protective measures. In the meantime, our testing procedures have gotten better. We've increased our ventilator count. We've gotten a little better handle on PPE supply chains, and many have helped by making masks and gowns. Phoebe in Albany has a second COVID-19 ICU opened, and Atlanta has a field hospital ready to go. It's not perfect, but it's much better than it was seven weeks ago.

A vaccine is a long way off. At some point, people have to be systematically exposed to begin the building of (hopeful) herd immunity. We will likely begin to experience a real increase in cases after reopening. Ideally, that exposure is controlled and calculated, in phases, to allow our medical community to respond adequately, and reduce the number of severe or fatal cases. That's where we are.

Whether you feel like Georgia is opening too soon, or not soon enough, we were never going to social distance this thing into nonexistence. You now need to proceed as your health, wallet, and conscience allow.

If you are medically vulnerable, you do not need to be a part of what is about to happen. Stay home if you can. If you're not, or if your financial vulnerability trumps your health concerns, you need to proceed in ways that continue to protect yourself, and the elderly and medically vulnerable around you.

All of us need to calm down. Quit telling people who are financially struggling that they don't care about human lives. Quit telling people who are truly at risk of dying from this virus that they are cowering in fear. Remember that until you've walked in someone else's shoes, you should probably be careful in your judgements and subsequent harsh words.

We don't HAVE to choose an either/or proposition and fight. We could choose other ways to be. Examples include but are not limited to:

"I think this may be too soon, so I will continue to shelter myself, and pray/make masks/ check on those who can't."

"I really need to go back to work, so I will do so, but I will be careful and try to protect myself, my family, and those around me with healthy strategies."

See how those positions allow each of us to do what we need to, and also respect those who are choosing differently?

One thing that allows us to do this is humility. I can acknowledge that I am not an epidemiologist/economist/whatever, that I am making decisions based on my understanding of complex subjects and my own personal health and financial situation, that I am not all knowing, always right, and an expert in all fields, and that each person around me is doing their best too. We can make different choices and still be a supportive community. We can learn and evolve in our understanding of these issues.

Yet they will be bitching the loudest when there are no jobs in 6 months for non-essential employees like them. Or anybody else.

I wonder what the models say about Mexico, currently at around 1000 deaths with no social distancing or shut-down. Even taking into account the massive incompetence and poor record keeping I would expect to see a number many many times larger.

90 >>>> The headline...

@CNN

Nearly all coronavirus patients who needed ventilators in New York's largest health system to help them breathe died, a study has found.


>>>> The article...

The team looked at the electronic health records of 5,700 patients with coronavirus disease hospitalized at Northwell Health. Final outcomes were known for 2,634 of them.

The records support what doctors have been saying about the coronavirus: most people who become severely ill have some sort of so-called underlying condition. More than half, or 57%, had high blood pressure, 41% were obese and 34% had diabetes.

>>> The grand finale...

Since final data was only available on about half of the patients, it's possible that more of those on ventilators survived, the researchers said -- something that would drive down the 88% fatality rate for that group.

In other words, "This study was shit but it's a great click bait, huh?"

109 Mr. Sefton: Only arguement I have with your arguement is the apology preamble that you open with. Anyone who says you are heartless because you don't care about the deaths caused by the Chyna Virus is making a Satanic accusation. They are the ones that don't care: they are trying to use the fact of any death, and the lies that many of these deaths are due to Wahan flu as a cudgel to control you.

They can go straight to hell.

Their premise is that if we do what they say we will not die. If we practice social distancing no one will die. If we shut down our economy we will live forever.

I throw it back in their face: Their instructions will surely bring about hell on earth.

116 Second is that W unfairly got the blame for the negligence of the New Orleans Mayor and Louisiana Governor. The article conveniently avoids an important fact - in typical W style, he never pushed the blame back where it belongs. I guess, like everything else, W considered it "beneath the office of the president" and "he would not dignify the accusations with a response" - two defenses I've heard time and again from Dana Perino.

PeRINO is just a feminine face of Rove, who wanted to make the GOP indistinguishable from their co conspirators on the other side of the aisle as they eliminated everything Reagan put in place. How'd that "dignity" work out? Pretty good, I guess, since W looks pretty fucking happy hanging with Gaylord and Slick.

It started when she tagged a "I have my own feelings about this but it's not safe to share them" to an e-mail discussing COVID. I e-mailed her back and said "Please do share them. Because I can almost guarantee your feelings are my feelings, and even if they aren't, I will not give you a hard time and it will go no further than me."

BUT, I swear that about a month ago they started testing in Washington state, and they made a big deal of some batch of humans getting their initial shots.

maybe this is the second round of shots, but so far no one has said that. so, is this the initial testing, or is this a different vaccine? why are the basics so hard to get straight?

135 Here in the Michigan mini-reich, one newspaper reports that Gov. Whitmer complains about the lack of nasal swabs for testing, and opening the economy requires testing so no soup for you!!. Meanwhile, in the other newspaper (actually in an editorial) the editor tells of a company in Dearborn that is ramping up to produce 1 million nasal swabs per day via 3D printing. His product is FDA approved and he ships to hospitals all over the country. He's contacted the state, he could supply all that Michigan needs, but a public health commissioner type gives the "We have a strict process to validate these things" excuse.

Meanwhile.... the Gov was forced by political pressure to cancel a no-bid contract for contact tracing of CCP Virus victims which was awarded to a Democrat party affiliated data tracking firm (which we're sure would never misuse the data -wink-wink). She says she doesn't know how the contract was awarded but said that certainly this emergency justifies shortcutting the contract process, or words to that effect.

YGBSM

Of course, now that we can't have swabs and we don't have a company to do contact tracing we'll just have to keep the economy shut down that much longer, I'm sure.

Facebook, google, twitter, youtube are not American companies, despite having their HQs located in Silicon Valley. They have been partnering with governments all over the world to micro-manage, suppress, even actively report on citizens' speech. Probably didn't even pause as they went from working with Merkel to suppress anti-refugee posts to Whitmer on anti-shutdown speech.

They don't believe in or support free speech - they provide the level of speech their government masters have specified, nothing more, nothing less. Whatever it takes to ensure they can operate with each countries borders and collect user data -- the real product being sold here.

148 That "Farm to Table" story is good ... I hadn't heard of people doing this, but that was my concept as well ... farmers that produce a variety pack, deliver like the milkman used to do, but with an expanded product line, and online purchasing, online viewing of the farm in action.


That could be a model for many communities, and the growing numbers of retired people could give back to local enterprise, and just perhaps rural communities could build out their economies.


But there are indeed efficiencies in the current SuperMarket model ... and social distancing should not be the NewNormal. But knowing your grower/producer is a nice concept.

All the backlash over opening up is being prepped. Pre-backlash if you will.

Word is that some tattoo parlor in GA is going to open up, and the caseload is going to EXPLODE!!

And guess what? We are immensely ramping up testing. And the caseload is going to go up, because we are going to test people now who are asymptomatic, and we will surely see more cases.

And it will be proof that it was all too early we need to close everything forever!!!

We live in stupid times.

Yep. I have recently completed a huge backlash of design work for upcoming construction projects.

Which means as current projects are finished in the coming weeks everybody in construction will be screwed.

3. Trump fired them all (more likely they were killed as a result a security breach) and shut down his pandemic team (actually he rolled them in the bioterror team)

4. If Trump had acted in December, against all public statements and advice of all health organizations at that time, then the two week quarantine would have worked

Then I fear my own or my families' death. Then I get on the hamster wheel.
Is that a scare tactics? Is that really true?
Then I go to well, is it possible that our leaders believed it to be a possible bio weapon and therefore to not behave the way a "natural" virus would. i.e. have a nasty extra kick to it in order to increase fatality.

222 "Experts" are saying the unemployment rate will also be inflated by people refusing to return due to the extra $600 a week. It's been a long time since I had to file, but then, if you got called back and didn't go, you didn't need unemployment compensation. Of course, you will have people "fearful to return". That $600 is going to be biting the ass for some time to come, at least until 31 July.

If they held re-opening to sometime next year the country would literally collapse. No exaggeration(and I believe we've got a good shot at a V shaped recovery right now). Goods need to be produced before they're consumed, we'd be talking mass shortages across the board in a few more months.

On the Earth Day nonsense in the context of current events. On a conference call yesterday, one of my execs was talking about a "silver lining" from the COVID-related shutdowns being that the "Earth was starting to heal." Totally tone deaf. Totally. At my company, virtually no one has been laid off except the janitors, who haven't been laid off but are on reduced hours because everyone is working from home. Easy for that person talk about "healing the Earth" at the cost of everything you've got and more.

And I am willing to bet the State will keep paying them even if they are allowed to return to work.

Yes. The point was never to reduce the *total* number of infected (and therefore, as a proxy, the total number dead) - it was change the *rate* of infections so that we don't overwhelm hospitals. That was the whole point of this BS.

But the hospitals aren't overwhelmed. Massive amounts of medical plant is *idle* right now. There isn't a facilities or ICU crisis anywhere in the country, not even in NYC where temporary hospitals aren't even in common use.

The crisis all of this was meant to avoid - the medical facilities and equipment crises - did not manifest. And didn't fail to manifest because we did too good a job containing the growth.

yes, we are in a constant state of war with these "globalists". We said a year ago that "they" might try to crash markets to harm Trump. Fauci predicted like a couple years ago, that Trump would face a virus outbreak.


Whether they accommodated it or not, they sure seemed prepared with a battle plan (against sovereign nations of the West) ... to shut down Western economies. The MSM goes to Gates as the global guru ... the coup continues, CDC/WHO/NGOs conspire, FANG corporate giants get market share boost ...


But maybe we emerge stronger, idk. imo Trump and "the Fed" has to support critical industry, so the QE trillions has made US stronger (for now). And Mitch just supported states going bankrupt ... instead of bailing out a trillion in unearned government pensions, let them eat cake ... cut those golden calves in half, for the children' sake (children that were put in infinite debt before they were born).

Yeah, these are jobs that have a scarcity of Americans than can do them..of course we need to import Indians to to fill these positions.

Ah, but they'll live 5 to an apartment and work for half, so payoffs are made, exceptions are made, and hey presto, the Indians (and other cheap foreign workers) swamp the industry and wreck the pay scale.

The most positive way to look at it is that unlike a typical recession, there was not a massive misallocation of capital, in theory we should be able to largely resume what we were doing previously, which should allow for a quicker recovery. Granted this depends on the length of the shutdown, from the extremes of 1 day being practically unnoticeable to 6 months meaning the collapse of the country.

They don't have a lot of methodology discussion in this article, or state-by-state breakdown, but it's distressing int he extreme if true.

Only 12% of Americans say the measures where they live go too far. About twice as many people, 26%, believe the limits don't go far enough. The majority of Americans - 61% - feel the steps taken by government officials to prevent infections of COVID-19 in their area are about right.

I think Trump has the same problem I do with Kemp's order: he's reopening the most personal-contact-intensive businesses first. I can see ordering that all retail can reopen and restaurants can do limited dining room seating at first, but tattoos and hair first?

No, you are wrong, in my mind at least. From the night Trump won, we, who voted for him, have dealt with the onslaught of hatred from politicians, media jerk-offs and left-sided delusional hollywood morons, so this virus is about Communist China's Xi's way of dealing with a person, who, from the very beginning of his presidency got up into the face of Xi and has not stopped doing what is right for America.

They recognize and capitalize well. I don't think this was an "op" from the start, but they have been able to turn it into one. It's impressive in a very evil way.

I keep thinking on why Trump let this happen. I can only come up with two options:
1) Trump was rooked by the technocrats in an area where he had no expertise, and lost control.
2) The IC told him and others behind closed doors that this thing came from the Wuhan bio lab and no one has any idea what it is, but that it might be a bioweapon. And, based on China's silence and violent suppression in their quarantine zone, an extreme response was warranted.

I lean more toward #2, but I think #1 is a possibility.

366 Most frustrating to me is the sense that we're not fighting back against the core maleficent forces at work here or on our terms. We're fighting defensively, and not against the false constructs and narratives. Indeed, we've accepted the false reality produced by these constructs. It's their world and we're living in it.

This is just another case study of our inadequacy in dealing with the Left and the enemies of our country.

379 4) There was obviously a company-wide meeting at Fox News in late Feb. It is a fact that every show host changed their tunes overnight. Hannity, Ingraham, TuCa, all of them. And they all adopted the exact same "wash your hands" and"we're all in this together" mantras like good little robots.

Then TuCa made a midnight drive to Mar-a-Lago and Trump changed overnight.

They're just thinking, hey, I like working in my jammies! The rest are lazy butts who will milk their extra unemployment benefits and enjoy the mandated slothness they've been granted by gov't edict.

I was talking with Mr. Black just last night about this. He was on a conference call yesterday with a group of others. They've all been confined to work from home for over 3 weeks. The bossman asked them all, would you be comfortable going back out into the field? Only Mr. Black and one other said absolutely, yes. The rest...I heavily speculate are just happy as clams to sit at home. Not that they're askeered to go out. They're milking it. That's his impression. That's my impression.

400 61% feel the gov action was about right ... this is why Trump had to go with the shut downs, but left it to governors on enforcement. Otherwise every death would be Trump's fault.


Trump's initial instinct (besides banning some China flights) was right ... iirc, he was more like Boris, it's a flu, we have to let it run its course. But the Pharisees of the MSM would blame him for each death ...


But Now ... the Great Opening, Trump is on the side of opening, or he was. The long term economic harm can be blamed on the virus ... but we need to take some cues from Sweden ... open now ...

However, if she says let's extend to 15-June, that support will dip significantly. People are answering polling questions based on the last 4-6 weeks, not the next 6.

Something else will come up!" Well, in 10 - 15 years, sure. But we're still in shock, we haven't even begun to see all of the long term effects of what's just happened. that's going to take years and years to work out.

____________

That "job" she had was especially created for her. It was all bullshit, just a thinly-disguised political payoff. Michelle had one (and only one) job as a junior lawyer, right out of law school. She was hired by a firm called Sidley & Austin. She flunked the Illinois bar exam, which is usually grounds for firing if you're white, but since she was a black female, they kept her on and gave her special help. She still couldn't cut it, so eventually a partner told her gently that the firm "wasn't the right fit" for her, and they fired her. She tried to get another lawyer job, but nobody would hire her. Then her political "friends" created a non-lawyer job for her, and she never worked as a lawyer again (not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't have the talent or ability).

And this is the great "genius" that the Dims hold up as a role model for young girls.

No doubt, grammie. The site I was talking about has to do with the IMHE's preferred dates based on their wonderful 'modeling', ha. It's so funny to see that they propose free(er) states need to stay locked-down longer than many hotspot states. Talk about politics..wow.

485 Husband's computer was hacked last night, with a verbal threat: "I know all your passwords and everything about your family....." He's at his office meeting with his top IT guy now trying to take care of the problem.

Passwords are usually encrypted so the hacker was probably just fucking around with him. When I used to use a Windows system I'd sometimes get a message by some dork telling me he just hacked me. I just rolled my eyes and never had anything bad happen subsequently.

498 blaster in post 69 (irony) got it right on most points. But I have never been so out of step with most of the comments than I am at this point in the quarantine.

This is NOT the flu - this is a coronavirus cultivated in a communist lab. Trump had to act decisively. If one person died without tremendous government intervention, Trump would have been done for and a Chinese stooge. NYC was hit hard because they didn't take action when they should have. They didn't want to be called the "R" word. In any event - Novel means exactly that - new without any knowledge about it. All the Monday morning quarterbacking going on is ridiculous.

Everyone is getting their numbers from Twitter thinking they have insight the President and Vice-President don't have. Twitter and the internet is swill. Both those gentlemen have been getting briefed and working on the problem for weeks. In the briefings you can see it on their faces. To dismiss his decision-making as cavalier I think is a mistake. That is why the MSM during the briefings have done everything they can to challenge the President rather than gather facts.

The UK tried the herd immunity approach and then too many grew ill, the PM was hospitalized, and the conservatives are being roasted for it. Can you imagine if President Trump was hospitalized?
There is NO cure or vaccine for the commie cultivated virus. This was not about "stopping" or "killing" the virus - that is leftist MSM moving the goalposts. It was all about making sure the hospitals had capacity to support those who fell ill. Nothing more and nothing less. That is why we are opening up now and at a slow pace.

I think all the complaining about quarantine and "rights" is for 1st
world pussies. We all believe TV medicine - the patient is cured by
science in the third act. On quarantine - early in our founding (and for at least 100 years) quarantine was COMMONPLACE. People couldn't leave ships for weeks in harbor for fear of epidemic. Towns and cities would be shut down, because "medicine" could not cure anything in the 18th century. Your rights - then and now - are not unlimited and can be reasonably restricted for the common good. Your rights don't include spreading new communist viruses whether you like it or not.

499 Boise deserves their mayor.

It used to be a very nice city. I had really hoped to move there. Than all those Californians traipsed in and ruined the housing market, driving up real estate prices like crazy. And bringing their insane politics with them: they ruined one state, now they are dead set on ruining another.

And then there are the sweet, but naive Mormons, who think helping the poor "refugees" is incumbent upon them. Let them go proselytize among the Moslem refugees they've welcomed. That'd be great.

Eight years ago, their crazy mayor would never have been elected.

Makes me so mad I want to put my fist through a plate glass window.

"We're all in this together!" translates as "Shut up and drink your Kool Aid, until we can get Biden elected, you insignificant peasants!"

501 Data is now showing that the states with lockdowns are where the deaths are at.

The nine states that didn't lock down have a lower death rate per capita, and of course, their citizens are now more immune to the virus, so its much safer to walk around even for those that have underlying conditions, but if you're that person, I'd stay put till about 50% of the population has the antibodies and aren't carriers.

512 Salena Zito's article on the recent "farm-to-table" boom matches my personal experience.

I randomly joined an organic farming co-op last fall after seeing an ad for them on YouTube late one night. I initially signed up for the minimum subscription (ten pounds every three months), figuring that just having a few pounds of good meat in my freezer at all times would encourage me to cook a little more often.

But then last week I saw that Smithfield was shutting down its main plant, and I knew JBS was already shut down, so I figured there could be meat shortages in the near future. So, just to be on the safe side, I upped my "meat subscription" to thirty pounds, and bumped up my next delivery to this week. It seemed like a better idea than potentially fighting the other panic-buyers for whatever scraps I could manage to lug home from the local supermarkets.

I'm a little shocked at the amount of food I have on hand right now!

513 Chins up. This fubar situation presents more opportunities for limited-government conservatism than it does for any green new dealers or would-be expert automatons. I've been following the silly debate about whether to reopen the economy and there seems to be a slow realization sinking in that, as any conservative could have told you, life is about trade-offs. There is no magic government bullet that is going to save lives. Real life rarely allows us to eat our cake, too. Reopen, people will die. Keep it shut down, people will die. It's unfortunate, but these are the choices with which the CCP has left us. AGHamilton of Twitter (and now National Review contributor, it appears) wrongly calls it a choice between freedom and life (not very Hamiltonian). It is a value choice between liberty and security. I love liberty and believe it provides security as a by-product even if it's not always immediately evident. Having a roaring economy provides security by enabling more people to take care of themselves. Control freaks who are petrified of life and the risks it entails value security above all, which leads inevitably and ironically to an erosion of it.
