The Coronavirus and China’s Role
First of all, I don’t intend to minimize the seriousness of its impact, but now with the passage of time we can assess the nature of it, and who is most vulnerable to it, and China’s role in concealing its infectious nature and its deadly effects particularly among the aged who are sick in particular.
There is one other very important fact the Chinese knew about this back in December. They silenced all their scientists who tried to warn the world. The World Health Organization, which is a puppet of China, went along with it.
This being said, there is a far more sinister side to this in the province of Wuhan where it originated. China stopped all domestic flights into and out of Wuhan but permitted all international flights from it, thereby speeding it throughout the world. I believe this was a conscious decision on China’s behalf.
Trump gave the states authority to make decisions on how to deal with the coronavirus. Now consider New York Governor Cuomo was crying for help. Hew was pleading for mor ventilators, PPE gear, hospital beds. Trump delivered all these and more. What did he do? Instead of isolating these coronavirus patients, he put them back in nursing homes infecting others causing the death of thousands.
In many of the red states, Republican governors, using sensible precautions, have begun opening their economies. In most, infections and deaths have gone down.
Here are a few observations and opinions I have. First if you are in a store or confined space, wear a mask. If you are out in the open you don’t need it. I walk the bike path a lot. I see a lot of people wearing masks. What do they think? Breathing the air will infect you?
Safe to say I think it’s symbolic of the way much of this country has become. We have become too dependent on the government. Like sheep, no longer the self reliant, clear thinking people we once were. The Democrats love this. Their goal is power and control.
We know this virus affects mostly the elderly. The elderly who are sick in particular. The young have very little risk, you may get it and not even know it.
Work gives people a sense of purpose and direction. To dole out money with no regard for consequences will lead to rampant inflation. Hospitals, doctor and detail offices need to reopen. People need medical procedures, examinations, elective surgery.
You can’t hide from it. It’s too infectious. Do what you can with sensible precautions. Protect the elderly. Children need to return to school. I don’t believe there is any substitute for classroom learning.
Most of all, pray for deliverance. I believe this is God’s way to show us that we are dependent upon Him. It’s by His grace we have what we have.
