"Time to move on from this virus, learn from it, and defeat it. And once things start getting back to normal, China, your ass is grass. Get ready for a gargantuan bill for damages - not only from us, but from dozens of other countries as well."
Wow! Did you see what happened in Michigan yesterday? The people gave the Governor the Ryan Winkler gesture. Lansing Michigan, was covered with wild and loud patriots, most riding in their cars, just wanting to get their message heard. And that message was? OPEN IT UP!
Now that it is all but proven that the ChiComs are behind this virus, which came out of their Wuhan lab, keeping our economy of life support is doing nothing but aiding the enemy. Time to show the Chinese that we are America Strong! We are fearless! We know how to deal with this virus, rather than hiding from it.
It was not just Michigan. It was also Kentucky. Minnesota's turn is on the 19th. In the old days, lazy hippies would protest the government so they could get paid without having to work. Today, patriots and citizens are protesting the government because they want to work!
What we are starting to find out, is much of our reaction to this virus was a major flinch.
Our two hospital ships we deployed to LA and NYC, are virtually empty. Some of the temporary hospital space in NYC is being dismantled. The east coast has more than enough ventilators. And the stats, as well as the new modeling, are showing a worse case scenario of 60,000 deaths from this virus instead of 240,000. That means you would have about a .0002% chance of dying from this thing. Plus, many who have died so far, have been elderly in care facilities.
Where do we go from here? First off, as much as I would like to see things opened up immediately, we need to be smart about it. Governor Noem of South Dakota knows that. Even though she never closed down her state, she is going to demand better mitigation and training for the Smithfield plant before it re-opens for business. But have no doubt it will open up again - and soon.
In Minnesota we have already closed down one of the largest water parks in the land - for the season. We are going to delay the opening of the BWCA (don't want to get within 6 feet of a woodchuck or Loon). And of course, all the beaches and pools are closed for the summer. Somebody said it well the other day - 2020 will be the summer of existing, not living. All the things which are enjoyable to do, are now being put on the no-no list. Bottom line? We not only cannot work, we can't enjoy ourselves in the time we are forced to have off. That is a lose-lose in anyone's book.
Hard to believe many of our state's leaders come from the same stock which produced the Greatest Generation in the 30's and 40's. On D-Day, many very young men, barely old enough to shave, were bravely taking part in an invasion which easily could have left them dead or wounded. Today, we are scared senseless of an invisible protein, which has a .0002% chance of killing you. We are so scared of this thing, like John Galt in Atlas Shrugged, we have stopped the engines of the world.
Open it up Taxing Timmy! We are not stupid. We will take care of ourselves and our neighbors. We will not take any unnecessary chances. We can work and chew gum at the same time. Even my wife, the ultimate rule follower, is on the verge of revolt.
Time to move on from this virus, learn from it, and defeat it. And once things start getting back to normal, China, your ass is grass. Get ready for the mother of all bills for damages - not only from us, but from dozens of other countries as well. If you don't pay it, we will stop paying our debt to you. We also, know how to play this game.
