Once upon a time, way back, there was an American president who we had been instructed was directly responsible for the unfold of a extremely contagious, airborne virus. Today, we’re instructed of the identical virus, however with a brand new president, “Well, whaddya do?”
Remember when containing and miserable the coronavirus was merely a matter of nationwide testing and “contact tracing,” plus the care of a president who wasn’t Trump and who may cry on TV concerning the lives misplaced?
Under President Joe Biden, we’ve got all of that, with the additional advantage of free and limitless vaccines. But the virus has continued to unfold. We’re currently averaging just below 100,000 new instances, just below 60,000 hospitalizations, and greater than 1,000 COVID-related deaths every single day.
Ahead of Biden’s inauguration, new instances had been to start with of a free fall. By late June there have been roughly simply 11,000 new instances every day. Now we’re averaging virtually 10 instances that quantity.
There’s no cause you ought to be underneath the impression that Biden is competent sufficient to do as he stated he would, which was to “shut down the virus.” Almost a yr into his presidency we don’t even speak about ending the pandemic anymore. To the opposite, we’re now speaking a couple of new COVID variant.
The administration now not bothers pretending to vow to “shut down the virus.” Instead, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who claims to be the bodily embodiment of “science,” said of the South Africa-born Omicron variant final weekend that “inevitably it will be here.”
And right here it’s. The first recorded case within the U.S. was this week. So a lot for the supposed cures of testing, tracing, masking, and vaxxing. Those had been supposedly the “tools” to finish the unfold. At least within the United States.
Now Biden basically says these instruments do nothing for us.
Asked Friday on the White House by Fox News’s Peter Doocy (God bless him) if the plan was now not to “shut it down,” a sickly Biden went into his plain-truth schtick.
“Well, we’ve got to beat it back before you shut it down,” he stated. “Look, it’s going to take time worldwide. In order to beat COVID, We have to shut it down worldwide.”
Folks, a variety of that is out of his palms!
“You know, we’re starting to make some real progress, and you find out there’s another strain,” he continued. “And the idea that you can build a wall around America to keep any COVID from around the world out is not there.”
Folks, what do you anticipate him to do?!
Arguably the highest cause voters elected Biden was as a result of they’d been instructed the previous president was answerable for the speedy unfold of the virus that has killed virtually 800,000 folks. Biden stated he would gladly take up that duty. Now we’re instructed it’s not the president’s duty and that the brand new variant arriving on Biden’s watch isn’t his fault.
Time flies.
