Please read the comments to my previous blog "Priorities".
We will never control Covid-19 until ther is nation wide isolation and restricted travel. The President must use his wartime authority to order and enforce this. The new patient curve will neve flatten out if left to local authorities.
The use of heat senceoring cameras is only for scanning and picking out cases or screening. At that it will not be 100% effective in finding people to have temperature checks and screening but will help in getting "walking" carriers and slowing the infection curve.

Doc You are right on all counts. I know some of the comments you receive are distasteful, but there is an appropriate saying, "Where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise." Another reflection worthy of note is that for the past two decades across the country we have been shutting down hospitals. Not the least of which was our own Muhlenberg which offered excellent services. Anyone who has required unforeseen hospitalization has experienced the horror of spending a day or two in the Emergency Room zoo awaiting a bed. Hospitals during normal times are operating near or at capacity. Partially for the appropriate purpose of humanitarian relief, and partially to buy votes, both Parties allocate 2 Trillion Dollars of printed money. A fraction of this would have maintained and improved the closed hospitals. The tragedy of this crisis is of course the people who are ill, and those that will suffer from the economic fallout. But, absent prompt follow up remediation to the National Debt when the emergency ends a greater tragedy lies ahead when the printing presses require new parts.
ReplyDeleteWhen in combat of necessity personal animosities are subordinated to the urgency of staying alive. This morning the headline, rather than providing accolades for the thousands that are serving at risk of their own lives to attend others, reads that Nancy Pelosi has launched another oral vendetta. Great leadership Nancy. When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. When the last respirator is put in storage there will be adequate time for acrimony and retribution.

Thank you Bill. You can add to the self serving idiotic leadership comments, Cuomo's complaint that Trumps suggested regional "quaratine" was illegal ignoring the fact tgha it did not solve the national danger. Also the ACLU's short-sided focus on legality not the great danger to all Americans. wartime conditions may require drastic measures which Trump is afraid to imposes. He may lose votes.
ReplyDeleteTYPO-tghy should read THAT
ReplyDeleteTrump was ahead of this from the start. But if you are a demorat, you will never see the truth.
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to mention Trump's approval rating is up to 60%. Biden is demented. Have at it democrats. Have at it.
ReplyDeleteThe Biden family, like so many career politicians of humble origin has miraculously become wealthy. In part from the royalties from his book. More so from the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs.
