You cannot have a social upheaval like the Bat Gobbler Flu and expect everything to go back to exactly how it was before the ChiCom’s fetish for eating weird Schiff turned the world upside down. Pressure has a way of changing what it is applied to. Sometimes it makes diamonds, other times it makes things go splat. No one expected something like this to come out of leftist field and derail our booming economy. We wanted to let the good times roll, but no one saw them rolling right off a cliff.
The pandemic and the response are going to not change some things much at all.

Name a world-wide catastrophe that hasn't forever changed the way things were prior to the event.

FTA: "No one expected something like this to come out of leftist field"
It appears Anthony Fauci expected it...
==== From HuffPost
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease specialist, warned in early 2017 that a “surprise outbreak” would occur during the Trump administration, and he said that more needed to be done to prepare for a pandemic.
“There is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases,” he said in a speech titled “Pandemic Preparedness in the Next Administration” at Georgetown University Medical Center. He delivered it just days before Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017.

Why was Fauci so sure this would come to pass?

Very accurate and hard-hitting, especially Kurt's analysis of the modern college scam that many people have seriously begun to question. Not mentioned are professional sports and movies which people will find, much to their surprise, do not add much to life. If you want to spend thirty bucks so you can buy soggy popcorn and pay the price of a case of Coke for a couple of cups, just so you can put your arm around your girlfriend, you will find that the home version of a movie is just as boring as the one on the screen but the snacks you prepare yourself are much better. As for pro sports, hours spent waiting in traffic, twenty bucks for parking and a ten dollar beer just gets you to your seat, then you have to decide how far up in the clouds you want to sit using your remaining money. Oh, and let's not forget the valuable lessons of just how far the democrats are willing to go to show Americans how much they really despise us, if it had not been made clear before the Bat Flu.

It has been apparent for years that the disposal of Trump and his administration was to be done at virtually any cost. Did the Chinese launch this intentionally? I doubt that. As others have reported and others surmised, it appears to be a case of laboratory incompetence. And that now has triggered not so much a deadly flu pandemic, but a clear opportunity for the rollback of the Trump economic record.
No more crowing about your 401(k) or IRA accounts with the Dow nearing 30,000 (now 23,538, had fallen to 18,591 on March 23rd). No more record employment. No more good times rolling. Now it's lockdown by decree and a huge paper loss for most investors. Jobs and businesses are on the ropes, if not already down for the count. It's not the airlines or auto makers, but the hair and nail salon down the block, the corner eatery, Joe's Bar, the Uber gig driver...
Never let a crisis go to waste...which is preceded by: Never fail to manufacture a crisis whenever possible.

I'm old and think how life was with the actions of the 'greatest generation' (my father) during WWII and after before it was slow burned by the left in the 1960s.
In 2016 the left was on fire with excitement after the Obama regime and Hillary on the horizon. Socialism was at the door.
That's how many years it took to ruin the nation until Trump became President and turn this around. When we recover, how ever good or not as good, changes will be made by this administration concerning our world enemies. President has accomplished plenty now his focus must be on the global stage and protecting America. Thank God Trump was President when this Kung Flu happened.

Schlichter nails it again.
I love it that the "pandemic modelers" have been found out. I have been saying that the climate modelers are scammers for 25 years.
Maybe now people will laugh like they should when someone says "according to the climate model predictions".
And the borders thing is likely to be a BIG change, too. Build The Wall. Fund the whole damned thing, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific. And lots of Border Patrol. And if you are caught as an illegal alien, you need to be deported TODAY.

Except it's not the "Bat Gobbler Flu", it's the "Chinese Communist Coronavirus Lab Flu". The idea that it was caused by "bat eating", like the name change to "COVID 19" represents the Chi Com attempt to shift the blame away from them.

I sent a link to an online report to my cellular biology research professor friend on Feb. 26th, pointing to the researcher and his paper at the Wuhan Institute.
My professor friend had heard some through his channels, too, and comment, on Feb. 26 email:
"Yes, I think those dumb (blank)s were studying bat immune response to viruses and some poorly trained fool got exposed. Not intentional modification of the viral genome."
He nailed it then, and I have been aware of what really happened for 7 weeks, repeatedly commented about it here.

You might try a search for Tyler Durden plus 'is this the man behind the global'. Wentworth Report has it, too.
Not necessarily always a reliable source, which is why I wanted it vetted by my professor friend.

Respectfully, #10, at this point the WuFlu origin is of little import. I trust you believe that also. We aren't going to sue China, God, or anyone else. Trump is boxed in. "Leaders" are proposing alphabetical shopping; rationing certainly is not beyond their desire. I think it will take prayer, then mass civil disobedience. First by all Judeo-Christian houses of worship, then small businesses that have been impacted. My hometown community college has already put Fall classes in the "maybe" category. The libs are totally in human control of this situation. It has an apocalyptic feel to me. A vaccine that Bill Gates has a hand in? No thanks. Thousand dollar checks from the government? Better turn them into survival commodities quickly, soon the money will be worthless. Posters, am I too pessimistic?
