If you watch most media, you would think that the COVID 19 virus is a disaster that just keeps getting worse. We keep getting told that there isn't enough testing, that not enough people are wearing masks, that the vaccines being developed are just political ploys of President Trump and that every person who died from the virus is Trump's fault. What is happening is that the media and the Democrats (same thing really) want to scare so many Americans that they can reap the benefit of that fear on election day.
The problem, of course, is that the situation with the virus is getting much better.
Here's an example: A friend told me that this morning a cable network was reporting that new COVID cases rose in a majority of states yesterday. OH NO!!! Here's the reality, however. Yesterday was the day after Labor Day. As a result, some of the cases being reported were from tests taken over the weekend which all got lumped together. For example, the official reports in Connecticut reported NO new cases over the long weekend but then showed a big jump yesterday to a level about 3 times higher than the average of last week. That's great news actually. It is four days of test results showing new cases at only about three days of last week's level. For the country as a whole, the number of new cases reported from tests taken yesterday was only about one-third as many as mid-July. People presently in the hospital are now down by more than half from the late July peak. Deaths are also falling quickly.
Then there's the good news with the vaccines which are getting closer and closer to approval. Despite this, Democrat Kamala Harris is promoting conspiracy theories that the FDA is succumbing to political pressure to approve a vaccine that doesn't work and actually does more harm than good. It's a maniacal position for the Dem's nominee for VP to promote. How many people will be so scared of the vaccine as a result of what Harris says that they won't take it once it is ready? How many people will die because they didn't take the vaccine once it is ready. Those are numbers we don't know now, but we can be sure that they will not be insubstantial. Harris, however, doesn't care about those who might die because of her conspiracy theories. She wants to win an election at all costs. Or put another way, for Harris and others who promote this ridiculous charge, NO LIVES MATTER BUT THEIR OWN.
And what about all the continuing restrictions being put on small businesses, schools etc. by Democrat governors and mayors who are adopting a "let's destroy America" philosophy. In CT, the governor just got his emergency powers extended to next February. Right now, we have test results that are consistently below 1% positive. In fact, the positives are right around the level of false positives from the tests. Schools, though, are operating with crazy restrictions, even though the number of children who have been hospitalized from the virus since the start of the pandemic is less than five. The need is for protection of the vulnerable like elderly residents of nursing homes or those with severe co-morbidities. The kids are not where to focus our efforts if we want to prevent bad outcomes from the virus.
There's much more that could be said, but the point is a simple one. The pandemic is receding quickly. The prognosis both for vaccines and therapeutics is quite good and getting better. The need for any shutdowns is disappearing if not yet totally gone. But the media and the Dems are portraying this as if we are living in an endless horror movie. Life has to return to normal, but the media and the Dems are still trying to prolong the agony in the hope that they can get voters to blame President Trump for it.
Americans should want politicians whose goal is to put the welfare of the people first. Sadly, these bozo Dems won't even consider the welfare of the people; they focus only on getting power by scaring the voters. It's demagoguery at its worst.
