In this April 16, 2020, photo a gloved hand points to a holding cell at the hospital ward of the Twin Towers jail in Los Angeles. Across the country first responders who've fallen ill from COVID-19, recovered have begun the harrowing experience of returning to jobs that put them back on the front lines of America's fight against the novel coronavirus.
The new coronavirus is real.
The response to the coronavirus is hyped. And in time, this hype will be revealed as politically hoaxed.
In fact, COVID-19 will go down as one of the political world's biggest, most shamefully overblown, overhyped, overly and irrationally inflated and outright deceptively flawed responses to a health matter in American history, one that was carried largely on the lips of medical professionals who have no business running a national economy or government.The facts are this: COVID-19 is a real disease that sickens some, proves fatal to others, mostly the elderly —
and does nothing to the vast majority.That's it.
That, in a nutshell, is it.
Or, in the words of Dan Erickson and Artin Massih, doctors and co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield, California: Let's get the country reopened — and now.
"Do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. ... [T]he data is showing it's time to lift," Erickson
said, in a recent interview.
He's right. They're right.
The data to keep America closed and Americans closed in simply doesn't exist.
Comment: It's plausible that the allegation that the US was in some way responsible for the virus was the reason for pulling all of The Unz Review's content from Facebook, but there's no way to know for sure without Facebook being honest and transparent, two traits the company is known to lack, about who thought what content was in violation of it's "community standards".
