USA Today reports that China “stopped” the COVID-19 pandemic with harsh, collectivist tactics that liberty-loving Americans would never accept. Do we run the risk of death by individualism? Or is China still lying on a massive scale about the success of its totalitarian efforts to kill the pandemic?

Everyone is being bought out by the Chinese – WHO, media, etc.
Time to divest from the Chi-Coms!
So in my little corner of fully fascist (once Red) VA, the city leaders (all proud Ds who think Gov Northam is just fab) have closed the Greenways. Channeling their inner Obama, they erected barricades this morning and had a police presence.
I wanted to gather some friends and go down and sing “Do you hear the people sing”.
But my wife was pretty sure I’d get arrested for being a jacka$$ and she doesn’t like that. Says it bad conduct for a church Deacon.
China’s word is accepted at face value whereas if President Trump says ‘good morning’ a team of meteorologists is called in to fact check him.
As a member of our local Planning Commission, I am subject to informative meetings that share the importance of urban planning and especially public transportation.
One presenter of Traffic Planning stated, “The cheapest road to build is the one we don’t have to build. Roads are built to be full. If we build another lane, the public will just fill it, and then we’ll have to build another one.” He actually went on to explain that how important crowded roads are in forcing people to use public transportation.
The stated goal of planners everywhere is gradual urbanization.
A recent 100 unit apartment building planned to be “urban” only has 129 parking spaces–because it is just a mile from a grocery store and right on a bus line.
I honestly believe many planners have looked to the big cities a models to emulate, not organically developed entities to improve.
I wonder how this pandemic may highlight one significant problem with public density.
I love your voice, Scott!!! Don’t let them make fun of you. That line literally broke me up. A much needed laugh.
The bottom line is that far from saving lives, quarantine like China did kills more than it saves. Also the quarantine isn’t voluntary everywhere in the US. In the communist state of Washington, cops are stopping people and asking why they are out of their homes and business licenses are being revoked for continuing to offer business to people who want to utilize your business. The governor also started a tip line for people to tattle on their neighbors for being out of doors. Never mind that Vitamin D (which your skin makes when in contact with sunlight) is vital to a healthy immune system and that to survive an epidemic, people absolutely need to get sunlight every day.
Oh, and by the way, I want to know how many people know that the CDC is not a government entity some teeny bit accountable to the American people. It’s a private “charity” just like the FED is a private corporation of rich bankers. So who pulls the strings at this “private charity”? They need to get their pants sued off!
Bill is right, the China has lied so much as to not be able to be trusted. I think we’re finding more and more that it is China and not Russia that is a threat to the world. And with them the news media as well.
Bill’s on the money. The Chinese Communist Govt itself doesn’t really know what their own situation is due to their own lying and deception. See China Uncensored links for some more details. The eagerness of many in our own media to be cheerleaders for Beijing is not just worrying, it’s chilling.
