An observation

What does it say about a society that punishes the healthy for the benefit of the unhealthy? If the broad majority of people immediately accept this as a normal state of affairs? Why does it seem that there exists a humming undercurrent of envy and hatred for the healthy, happy, and carefree by the obese, depressed, and chronically ill?

I write this as I quarantine with my children, neither of whom have experienced any COVID symptoms. We are all required to take the PCR test and tip-toe around, lest we somehow further damage the health of the growing number of extremely unhealthy people that live and work in this city.

This should be seen as an alarming state of affairs, this “protection” of the unhealthy through the sacrifice of the healthy and young. How long can such a society endure?

Investigation has begun into England’s use of blanket ‘do not resuscitate’ orders for nursing home COVID patients

Unbelievable and barbaric. Over 18,000 died in England’s nursing homes from “confirmed or suspected” COVID cases. How many of these were refused medical care at a hospital and just allowed to die?

It will be interesting to see the depths of barbarism that some of these governments sunk to during the first few months of COVID madness. In particular is New York state, home to the highest COVID mortality rate in the world. Something bad happened in New York, and it wasn’t COVID.

White House blocked CDC attempt to require masks on U.S. public transportation

Never before has a sitting President blocked CDC power grabs the way Trump has done. We are witnessing the birth of the pandemic-industrial complex. A colossal grift built upon irrational fear of mild pathogens that requires the complete demolition of the concept of inalienable rights. This new pandemic industry cannot peacefully co-exist with a free society. Something clearly has to give. So far, freedom is losing, and just imagine what this country will look like in a decade if this industry grows unopposed. It will worm its way further into schools, corporate workplaces, public areas, and your own home. This is the “new normal” we keep hearing about, the existence of this massive new industry, and our obedient submission to its demands. From the article:

“The order would have been the toughest federal mandate to date aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus, which continues to infect more than 40,000 Americans a day. The officials said that it was drafted under the agency’s “quarantine powers” and that it had the support of the secretary of health and human services, Alex Azar, but the White House Coronavirus Task Force, led by Vice President Mike Pence, declined to even discuss it.

The two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment, said the order would have required face coverings on airplanes, trains, buses and subways, and in transit hubs such as airports, train stations and bus depots.”

How do you think a President Biden would handle the CDC? He would give them complete reign over the country. This election may be a rare instance of the importance of single-issue voting.
