DESTRUCTION: Biden’s Health Advisor Says Keep Americans in Lock-down for at Least 1.5 Years

President Trump is at war against this virus.. The Democrat-media complex is at war against the President. From the start, the Democrats have pounced like fire-breathing rabbits upon the virus as a way to destroy Trump by destroying America.

Conrad Black wrote here earlier today:

“From the start, the Democrats have pounced like fire-breathing rabbits upon any suggestion of calculating when it would be possible to reopen the country as a cynical and dehumanized monetization of the value of life. The implication all along has been that any amount of economic hardship was bearable to spare even a single life. This is such an explosive issue that the administration and the Republican leadership in Congress have been very cautious about when the country could start going back to work and school and normal activity.

The United States has approximately a thousand newly unemployed people for every fatality from the coronavirus. The average age of the deceased is in the upper 70s. All lives are of equal moral value, but the demise at a fairly full age of a retired person is not economically or strategically equivalent to the ruination of the careers and lives of a thousand people in their prime, and everyone knows it. This is the case the president is going to have to make.

The waters are muddied because there will never be the time necessary to develop testing to a point of precision about how many people died from the coronavirus as opposed to dying with it, and with clarity about the principal cause of death. Nor will it be possible to discover on any practical basis how many people have had the coronavirus but survived it without it being identified as having afflicted them.

There may possibly be time in the balance of April to get some idea of the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, which the president has emphasized and the Democratic press has ignored, except when they were able to disseminate the myth that someone had died from using it. (It turned out the man had actually self-administered a very different chemical that is used to clean aquarium fish-tanks). We may also be a little further ahead in being able to deliver a therapy of injected antibodies developed by the 97% of people who have successfully fought off the coronavirus.

[….]

There is not the slightest chance to conduct testing on the scale Mr. Biden is calling for in an acceptable time before reopening the economy, even with the Abbott Laboratories’ simple test, and Mr. Biden and his advisors know that testing on the scale he is calling for is impractical. As we have known all along, we are going to have to live with this disease until the vaccine is developed and distributed.

The president must remind the country that though it is often a very nasty affliction, something like 99% of people with ordinarily robust immune systems survive the coronavirus. The anti-Trump press cannot be allowed to get away with headlining every single future fatality as tantamount to an act of manslaughter by the president.

Mr. Trump should take a leaf from President Nixon’s “Silent Majority” address of November 3, 1969, when, after outlining his plan to withdraw American forces while maintaining a non-communist government in Saigon and saying that he believed it would succeed, he added: “If it does succeed, what the critics say now won’t matter. If it does not succeed, what I say then won’t matter.”

The country will hope for President Trump’s success — the Democratic leaders may want the pandemic to flare up again, but can’t say so, and the people don’t. If necessary, tighter controls may be reimposed locally from time to time, but the country must get over the cold terror that has been instilled in it.”

Biden’s Health Advisor: Keep Americans in Lock-down for at Least 1.5 Years

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s health adviser, Dr. Zeke Emanuel, said last week that coronavirus will be around “for at least eighteen months or more” and that the U.S. “will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications.”

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s health adviser, Dr. Zeke Emanuel, said last week that coronavirus will be around “for at least eighteen months or more” and that the U.S. “will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications.”

Emanuel was among the architects of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ‘ObamaCare’, is on Biden’s “Public Health Advisory Committee.” The committee was established to “provide science-based, expert advice regarding steps the campaign should take to minimize health risks for the candidate, staff, and supporters.”

His sentiment are somewhat consistent with statements from the White House’s medical advisers as well as federal government documents on COVID-19. However, Emanuel seems to have a far more ominous outlook without considering ways to roll back the current closure measures and revive the economic damage.
