Realities

It's sad to see Drudge now siding with the Never Trumpers after supporting Trump since the last election. He's doing this by slanting the coverage on his web site. Every headline on the DRUDGE REPORT today is negative, most reflecting on Trump's leadership. It may turn out that he has become a conservative turncoat. Too soon to determine if this is a permanent frame of mind.

This virus thing is taking a more ominous course throughout the world, particularly in America. Today, when a deadly virus explodes out of nowhere, geneticists are indispensable. Other epidemics have not presented such complexity and confusion. Learning that this virus is 5-times more infectious than others is a huge concern, especially since it is constantly mutating. It appears to have many other unique characteristics as a member of the coronavirus family - kind of a super-virus, easy to spread, hard to control.

It seems to have been created (or discovered) "in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a maximum-security Chinese laboratory granted authority to research dangerous pathogens, [and] was likely involved in a biological weapons program". We know now that the Chinese government took desperate action to (unsuccessfully) cover-up the viral escape.

Does the virus appear to be the product of selective viral breeding, or just a new discovery? This is more a job for the CIA than WHO because it is a question of intent. Intentional or accidental, this virus has forced America into a radical change of its normal life. The deadly characteristics of this coronavirus can be as materially destructive of our country as WWII.

When we announce the enemy that inflicted this weapon upon our country we must then take definitive action to punish that enemy. The weapon they used was swift and quiet - financial response can also be swift and quiet, and nearly as deadly. Remember Sun Tzu's words: "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." This doctrine is repeated throughout his writings. Just look what this virus did, without firing a shot.

Did this deadly virus come to us through a process of selective breeding, or by accident?

I don't know what others may think, but I'm not going to live the rest of my life in hiding!
