Mike Luckovich for January 22, 2021

That’s the CORRECT target for mass action, sure ’nuff.

(Dammit I really hate that I can’t say “the right target” because the damned so called conservatives have stolen the word.)

So nice to have a President again who recognizes the same things as threats that the American people do!

Who would have ever thought that wouldn’t go without saying?

A President with a team of competent people who are implementing a plan at the start. Why? Because they thought that they would have to rework a plan to get the Corona under control. Instead they found that there was NO plan by the demented Fat Orange Clown who +/-75M voters wanted to continue.

Don’t forget..wear a mask. In 101 days we’ll see who ends up sick and who ends up NOT sick! I bet you a dollar to a dog-turd those single minded Trumpsters will refuse to wear one. Their death is NOT going to be on MY hands! Pity the health workers however.

Getting Covid should make them eligible for a lobotomy I think! Sometimes from the ignorant things they say, I wonder if some of them haven’t already had one!

Over 400,000 dead, you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows…

Having a responsible person in charge for the first time in 4 years is SOOOOOO refreshing!

If we don’t kill it, who’ll be left to fight about anything else ? Cockroaches ?

Well, Biden’s “attack and storm it” (if indeed he really said that) sure beats the Dump alternative of deny it and hope it goes away.

Anyone surprised there was no vaccine distribution plan?

To paraphrase John Lewis, “good incitement”.

great message! now to try and get everyone to go along with it and I know a lot who won’t

Trump’s plague isn’t going to magically disappear now that Biden is in office. It is out of control and we can only wear our masks, stay away from other people and wait for our shots. The way to make a plague disappear is to never let it get out of control in the first place. In 2018, the White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense mission was the same as when the Obama administration established it after the Ebola epidemic of 2014: to do everything possible within the vast powers and resources of the U.S. government to prepare for the next disease outbreak and prevent it from becoming an epidemic or pandemic. They set up clinics to monitor 15 places that were considered “hot spots”- including 44 people in a clinic in the Chinese province where Trump’s plague began. The plan was to was to immediately send in enough people to track and treat so that it was shut down at the source.

In 2018, Trump’s administration defunded the office, shutting down the clinics.. It’s impossible to assess the full impact of this decision, but it is quite likely that it would have stopped the pandemic while it was still in China. That makes Trump responsible for deaths not just in America, but world wide.

 Strategies

New Zealand: lockdown, international travel controls, contact tracing, universal free testing

Sweden: go about your daily lives, everyone

USA: let’s hold giant rallies and open church services where everybody comes from far and wide to sing and shout at the top of their lungs before going home to hold parties that the whole family can attend

Energy channelled in a positive manner – how refreshing!

Sic ’em, youse guys! :-)

You’d think that would be something to unify the nation.

Hard to think anything good could come of this frightening memory, but this is.

Somehow you can show us the bitter truth without bitterness
