HOW IS THE ADMINISTRATION HANDLING COVID-19?

(Note: This post was has not been updated with many significant developments since May.  E.G. Operation Warp speed, Stimulus, etc.)

The media and the Left have been terribly critical of Trump and his Administration over the handling of the Covid-19 virus, aka the Wuhan Flu because of it origin.

This blog post represents my effort TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON COVID TESTING. I have gathered facts and put together a timeline to help us judge that.

First, I will share that I have a very close family member who is quarantined with extremely serious health conditions who doctors did not have a test kit for. So I am well aware of people's frustration and fear!! (In case you are wondering I have NOT been in physical contact with this person or anyone else who has in over a month.)

Now, there is no denying that we have a shortage of test kits. Plus, there is no question that actions are being taken to deal with that. And there is no question that we are moving rapidly toward providing testing for any individuals that a doctor believes warrants a test.

Keep in mind that even if test kits were more available would not change the public fear, panic, hoarding, social distancing, and the other unpleasant realities of a pandemic.

We all must appreciate that Government bureaucracy is by it's nature slow to make changes.

By the same token, I recognize that the delays have to do with 5 primary factors, NONE of which are THIS Administration's fault:
1. Prior Administration regulations
2. A sudden and gigantic need
3. It takes government time to figure out the causes of problems and plan new rules and implement new procedures.
4. It takes additional time for new rules to be put into practice and for highly complex production and processes to ramp up.
5. It takes money to do all of this and that requires Congress.

With these factors in mind, you be the judge whether the facts below are being judged fairly by the media.

Read this linked article AND the document linked to it regarding the recommended dramatic shift in test kit regulations. Notice the dates. Consider the following timeline and facts:

1. On December 31, 2019 a pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan, China was FIRST reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office in China.

Note: On January 26th Dr. Faucci advised the President and the White House that "The American people should not be worried or frightened by this. It's a very, very low risk to the United States," Dr. Fauci said on The CATS Roundtable. "It isn't something that the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about."

Note: On 1.29.20 speaking at the annual ASM Biothreats conference Dr. Faucci said "Panic from rumor and misinformation hurt people, communities, and the economy."  He also lessened it to SARS when he said, "Only 2% of cases are young; only 25% of recognized cases have severe disease. The take-home message is that nCoV2019 is a very different case than with SARS."

2. On January 30th 2020 the outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO).

(1 DAY LATER)
3. On January 31st the Trump administration dramatically escalated quarantines and implemented major travel restrictions from infected China.  (The Left criticized him for doing so.)

(4 DAYS LATER.)
4. On February 4th the USA Secretary of Health and Human Services publicly issued a determination that there was an emergency need for test kits and started dramatic and rapid CHANGES TO REGULATIONS that were implemented during PRIOR administrations which hindered testing!

Note: On February 7th in a recorded conversation between Dr. Faucci and with Dr Bauchner archived on AMA Education Hub, Dr. Vaucci said, "The nature of the 2019-nCoV outbreak is still slowly coming into focus but it appears to be acting more like bad pandemic influenza with overall lower mortality SARS."

5. On February 11 WHO announced a name for the new coronavirus disease: COVID-19.

(13 DAYS AFTER THE VIRUS WAS GIVEN A NAME, 2 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST CASE OF COMMUNITY SPREAD AND 10 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST DEATH IN THE USA.)
6. On February 24th the President sent Congress a plan and request for $2.5 billion in spending to fight Covid-19.  Congress approved $8 billlion. (Politicians always use a crisis to send pork out to pay favors.)

7. On February 26th the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed a possible FIRST case of person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 in California

(7 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST USA DEATH)
8. February 27th a special Federal Task force was organized to provide ADDITIONAL cooperation, oversight, leadership and communication on the virus. This is above and beyond systems that are already in place in the government to deal with infectious disease and other major health issues.

Note: On February 27th in USA Today Dr. Faucci said he "doesn't want people to worry about coronavirus, the danger of which is "just minuscule." Fauci offered advice for people who want to protect against the "real and present danger" of seasonal flu, which also would protect against the hypothetical danger of coronavirus. "Wash your hands as frequently as you can. Stay away from crowded places where people are coughing and sneezing. If in fact you are coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth," he says. "You know, all the things that we say each year."

On the subject of masks Faucci said, "The only people who need masks are those who are already infected to keep from exposing others. The masks sold at drugstores aren't even good enough to truly protect anyone."  "If you look at the masks that you buy in a drug store, the leakage around that doesn't really do much to protect you . . . "there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask."

9. On Feb. 28th the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi toured San Francisco's Chinatown and said there's no reason tourists or locals should be staying away from the area because of coronavirus concerns. "hat we’re trying to do today is to say everything is fine here," Pelosi said. "Come because precautions have been taken. The city is on top of the situation."

Note: On February 29th  Dr. Fauci went on Weeked Today and told viewers there was "No need to change lifestyle yet" because the threat of community spread was low.

10. On March 5th 2020 the Governor of Washington State declared a state of emergency after the FIRST person in the United States to die of COVID-19 was reported.

10. On March 7th the Governor of NY declared a state of emergency.

11. On March 9th the Governors of NJ and FL each declared a State of Emergency.

12. On May 6th , NYC suspended the Subways. 

13. On May 10th Governor Cuomo rescinded his order that required Nursing homes to to take sick seniors from hospitals and prevented nursing homes from even testing them for Covid before admission. 

For a level headed assessment we should be able to rely on our Surgeon General.  Listen to the Surgeon General. 

COMPARE THE ABOVE TO THIS:
Do you remember Swine Flu at the beginning of Obama's 1st term in 2009?  60 million infected. 300K hospitalized. Remember the panic?

In April 2009 SARS Became a Pandemic; 6 MONTHS Later, AFTER 1,000 U.S. Deaths, Obama Finally Declared it a Public Health Emergency!! 🤔

ALSO KEEP IN MIND that back in
On February 1, a man who'd been on the Diamond Princess tested positive for the coronavirus SIX DAYS AFTER LEAVING the ship that was docked in the port of Yokohama, Japan.  IT TOOK Japanese officials more than 72 hours to lock down the infamous Diamond Princess ship!!!

LET'S NOT FORGET THE UNFORGIVABLE SILENCE AND SECRECY OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT. If they had been honest and forthright MONTHS before when they knew about this virus the world Pandemic may have been avoided. The Chinese government is still frustrating USA CDC Officials by failing to reveal information! READ CHINA TIMELINE.

LESSONS LOST IN THE PAST ARE BEING ACTED ON TODAY!

In 2009 with SARS the Obama Administration depleted 3/4 of the N95 Mask inventory and never replaced it.  Obama and Congress had 7 years to act and failed. And they have been too busy trying to impeach Trump for the last 3 years to care about anything else!!!!!

And for the last three years ALL we have heard from the Speaker of House, Pelosi and the Minority Leader in the Senate, Schumer, is that the most important issue is impeaching the President!

Lets not overlook this Presidential Executive Order:
September 2019 - Executive Order on Modernizing Influenza Vaccines in the United States to Promote National Security and Public Health

Let's also give the President credit for quickly standing up the Corona task for and his daily press conferences.  Never in history has a President be so visible and open to reporters' questions!

Covid-19 is teaching us many things. Over the next 12 months the present Administration will be overhauling:
- Our supply chain's dependance on China
- Our reserve of critical supplies for health crisis such as a Pandemic.
- Accelerating the review and approval process for drugs and medical devises.
- Introducing new approaches and methods of healthcare delivery. E.g. telemedicine, drive through testing, pop-up hospitals, etc.
- We are seeing how essential
Inter-governmental cooperation is, as well as the importance of private-public sector cooperation.
- Partisanship will no longer be tolerated. Citizens are demanding that Congress work across the isle. We still have serious challenges to deal with.

- The USA implemented the most broad testing programs in our history than an nation. As of August 28 the USA has conducted more Covid tests that all of Europe combined and 40 million more tests than India. 

One of the big changes will be making sure that area/regional hospitals have LOCAL access to critical care equipment such as respirators so they don't have to manufactured and shipped in times of a national OR local emergency.

Trump has remained calm, confident and in-charge throughout this health crisis. He has also been encouraging and positive.  As Trump has said numerous times, the USA rises to a challenge.  We are at our best in a crisis. It is in the American DNA. We will emerge stronger and better.

Last but not least, back in early January the President doubled efforts to guard our Southern border with Mexico. Several Chinese nationals have been apprehended this year trying to illegally cross into the USA.  Having a secure border to protect America in situations such as infectious diseases and other health and safety matters is vital to USA citizens.

The actual "HOAX," the one the President was referring to, is the unfair treatment the mainstream media and the Left who are determined to blame Trump for everything and to overturn the 2016 election since the day he took office.

Did the President try to keep us calm and to avoid the panic you see today? Sure. Is he always accurate. NO.  But I believe the facts illustrate a President and Administration that is dealing with an exceptionally unique and difficult crisis in a reasonable way.  As well as any President could be expected.

People who hate Trump will find every reason blame Trump and to hate him more, simple as that. Stop the hate!!! Come together, work together.

The civil war going on in America is טוב versus רשע. Good versus evil.  Each are trying to control our heart.  We will know which is winning inside of us by whether we feel more love and gratitude or anger and hate. Peace or fear.

🙏STAY CALM🙏

P.S. "In the current WuFlu crisis, the problem for the Trump-is-an-idiot crowd is that when you step back a bit — and when you subtract his clumsy statements and the usual government missteps in any crisis — the guy has been right about almost everything. Uncontrolled migration, globalization, and the Chinese supply chain — everything Trump has tried to rectify — are precisely what make flus like this so dangerous."  Andrew Klavan.

GREAT RESPECT AND TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT.

India's Leader Modi embraces President

"His imbecile mind and disgusting manner have made the USA the laughing stock of the whole world."

That was said about LINCOLN in the Press during his day. It's what MANY thought of Lincoln, who was considered a Washington outsider and a buffoon. They said the "European powers will despise that this President was the best that Americans could do."

Today, Trump's critics say very similar things about him.  The way the mainstream press and the Washington establishment treated Lincoln bears a likelyhood to how Trump is treated.  The criticisms are hard to distinguish.

Lincoln was not deterred and Trump is certainly not either. 

By "putting America first" and encouraging other Nations to do the same, Trump has sent a strong message to leaders around the world that Patriotism and pride in one's country is a positive thing.

Standing his ground for America on trade and defense issues as he's done, Trump is taken seriously.  It is a truth revealing contrast to Obama who failed to respond to Syria's Assad when he crossed the "Red Line."

By showing that Sovereignty is not something to be abandonded nor ashamed of, Trump made himself a model which other National leaders are patterning and being elected for.

By the same token, Trump is quite clear that protecting the culture and identity of each Nation from inside is NOT a reason to cease relations or doing trade with the those outside.  To the contrary, Trump wants to build stronger relationships with our allies, do more trade, and break down old barriers to peace.

Trump is demanding relationships be on our terms. While holding America to its original Founders' vision, keeping to the Constitutional and reinforcing our trust in God.

Trump is demanding that trade be "fair and reciprocal." He is willing to take bold new moves to change the status quo with enemies like North Korea and Iran. But he does so from strength.  Even if that strength seems like childish name calling and threats. After all, that is the language some of our enemies understand!

Trump's strong message on trade has broken through. He's scored giant trade victories many thought impossible with Mexico, Canada,  South Korea, Vietnam and China. Deals with the U.K., Europe and India are in the works.  They almost seem inevitable given the President's success and momentum.

Trump took his message abroad right from the start in the Middle  East. But
Unlike Obama's "Apology Tour" when Obama who "bowed" to dictators in the Middle East and literally confessed America's sins, Trump held his head high and maintained America's dignity! Dozens of Arab countries in the Middle East respected Trump for that. They welcomed him and they listened to him at the major and historic Arab summit at the beginning of his Presidency.  

Cheering supporters in Warsaw Poland.

The crowds in Poland chanted Trump. The protestors fighting for Liberty in Hong Kong cheer him. Trump excited the people of Vietnam. Brits were encouraged to go bravely forward with BREXIT in the U.K. because they knew Trump had Great Britain's back.

Trump commands respect from the most populated country in the world, China. And just this week India, the largest and most populous Democracy in the world "Bowed in Respect" to Trump at the "Namaste Trump" rally.

110K Cheering supporters in India

Meanwhile, back in the USA, EVERY Democratic candidate for President showed NO respect for the current President of the United States. If anyone should be able to appreciate what Trump accomplished with ZERO political experience against 17 serious Republican contenders and then going on to defeat the Clinton machine it should be the Democratic candidates flailing for attention during the debates. 

The Democrats bring shame to themselves, their Party, the Office of the President, and on America through their contemptuous lack of respect.

The contrast between the respect Trump receives and doesn't receive is revealing the truth about the true platform of the Democratic platform. And it explains why Sanders is going to win the Primary but lose the Election.

FEAR, DESPERATION AND PANIC

The DNC, the Deep State inside the CIA, DOJ, and the FBI, the elite Washington Establishment like Pelosi, Schumer, Waters and others are being overcome with FEAR.  They see the writing on the wall for the November election results.

Since 01■01■2020 the tables have turned on the corrupt in Washington. As the election on 11■03■20 approaches the fear in those on the Left will elevate.

The DNC AND Deep State's DESPERATE attempts to gain the upper hand will fail and PANIC will emerge.

DESPERATION and PANIC will bring irrational and drastic behaviors. And with that greater will be their exposure. 

The evil traitorous insiders in our government will know before the mainstream media will fully acknowledge it, that Trump's re-election is all but inevitable. They will see the writing on the wall before the actual election.  And, they know that a landslide victory which gives Trump 4 more years is the door that will give Trump a mandate, the authority and the time to DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Trump ALWAYS needed 8 years!  And I believe Trump knew he could not take on the traitors in Washington until AFTER they were EXPOSED and UNTIL he was re-elected.

TRUTH IS ON THE MARCH IN OUR CAPITAL AND ACROSS THE NATION. (AND THE WORLD.) 

The truth is being exposed now in such large and obvious ways that it can not be denied.  The sheeps clothing is being ripped and torn off the wolves in Washington, the Media, Hollywood. on certain politicians and activists. Their evil is being revealed.

The corrupt traitors will be like cornered beasts.  Their fangs and claws will come out. We are already starting to see this at moments with Pelosi. But it is going to get much worse. 

Disbelievers will not be able to deny to themselves what their eyes will tell them when they see the beasts.

Upcoming events in Washington D.C. will be very unsettling. But make no mistake, they are retribution for the beast.

The traitors will not win. What is RIGHT -- the Spirit and Foundation that our Nation was founded upon --is the LIGHT. Forces of Justice will be victorious.  IN GOD WE MUST TRUST.

MIGHTY JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL. 

As we approach 11■03■20, there will be two primary group reactions by the uunfaithful who have taken their hatred of the President into their heart and nurtured a grudge since 2016.

There are those who who have been deceived and are still under deception. Their reactions are ruled entirely by their ego. They will experience enourmous anger which will climax on election night. Their anger will become RAGE and they will release their RAGE on society.

The other group who has been deceived but can finally see, will experience profound sadness, confusion and regret, as well as tremendous resentment of those who deceived them. They will need comforting. 

The manifestations of the Beast won't be destroyed without a fight. The group who is still blind and controlled by their ego will be exploited and manipulated by evil. They will continue to fight, but they will no longer be playing by the laws of a civil society.

Up until now the beast has fought with lies and subversion. After 11■03■20 the beast is going to fight openly and violently.  This is why it is so important that we protect our 2nd Amendment.

In Trump's second term he will attack the Deep State with a vengeance, like he attacked regulations in his first term. Trump will have no concern about winning a third term. So he will be more aggressive towards the corruption in Washington, the Elite and the Deep State. He will push through term limits.  He will limit special interests.  He will go after the agents of corruption inside our civil service agencies and departments, seeking to cut waste and the size of our Federal government.

Trump's bold actions will be threatening to the establishment in Washington on BOTH the Left and the Right. His broom is Bi-Partisan!!

Those at risk in Washington DC see it coming. As the election approaches and Trump's giant victory is visibly inevitable some will know their exploitation of the taxpayer is coming to an end. Most will simply go off into the sunset on pensions with free healthcare. Those who need to will  easily find new jobs.

Then there is the worst of those in the Deep State, corrupt politicians and the greedy. They will not go without a fight. As they are forced out they will cause destruction. Like Hillary, they will damage data systems and try to sabotage as much as they can before they are thrown out.

There will be many heroes, most unsung, who will see it their duty to try to stop the beast that is seeking to damage our great nation. Some internal exchanges may be violent or even deadly.

*****BEWARE*****
PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT AND OUR NATION.  EVIL IS PLOTTING!!! THE BOUNDARIES ARE SHIFTING AND EVIL IS WILLING TO TAKE GREATER RISKS. THEIR SCHEMES MUST BE EXPOSED. AND THEY WILL BE!

What I am describing isn't just happening in the USA either. The ROAR is happening in China, Russia and Iran (larger older Persia).

DESTRUCTION and REBIRTH
🙏STAY CALM🙏

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM IS WHY SANDERS IS THE FRONTRUNNER

(Note: Things have shifted around quite a bit since I last sized up the Democratic field in September last year.)

Does anyone know what the Democratic Party stands for?  I think do. And I think it explains why Sanders is the frontrunner.

Franklin Roosevelt's policies represented a jump to the Left in America. The Vietnam War and the anti-war countercultural movement pushed America much further to the Left.  If Sanders was to be elected, and he won't be in my opinion, Bernie Sanders would be a giant leap to Left. Bernie wouldn't be a "D"emocrat in the White House!

Bernie calls his followers a movement.  It's NO movement -- it's a Revolution. Underneath the hood of his "movement" is a Communist Revolution and his "Bernie Bros" are Revolutionaries.

Little "c"ommunist leads to big "C"ommunist. Father Sanders (Crazy Bernie) would lead the way. 

Bernie Sanders is the worst possible candidate in the United States for President!  The DNC knew it last time, so they rigged the Primary. The DNC knows it this time too. They are scared as hell that Sanders is leading at this late stage so they let Bloomberg buy his way onto the debate stage in the 9th hour.

Like 2016, the Republicans couldn't throw anything at Trump to defeat him in the Primary because of one thing. That one thing is that MORE than ANYTHING Americans want to DRAIN THE SWAMP.  Any the only candidate the Republican voters believed had a chance is Trump.

So it is with Sanders.  His supporters view him as the only one who can change Washington. The problem is that the change Sanders represents is the LAST thing America truly wants! Sanders would change America in all the wrong WAYS.

America needs to clean up Washington. America needs less poverty. America needs better health care and education.  America needs many things!  But NOT the Sanders's WAY!

Socialism/Communism purports to solve these problems and to make things more fair. In reality, in practice it makes all those things much worse!

Utopia IS a place that DOESN'T exist.

So why is Sanders the frontrunner?  It makes perfect sense. The reason is as obvious as the nose on one's face.

The reason Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner and the answer to what is the Democratic platform are totally related.

For the last three years the Democrats and the media have whipped up anger and hate for Donald Trump. Impeachment has been the Democratic mantra for more than three years!

The Democratic Party platform is the "Anger and Hate for Trump."

Democratic leadership -- leadership in the House, the Senate, the Intelligence Committee, the Judiciary Committee, the Banking and Finance Committee and Hillary have pressed that message for three long years.

For three years the mainstream media drove the message of anger and hate for Trump into the hearts and minds of millions of their most motivated voters.

That anger and hate extends to everything Trump represents and everyone who supports him.  Trump haters will support ANYONE who is Trump's enemy.

Democrats LOATHED Republicans John Cain and Mitt Romney until they hated Trump.  Watch Democrats suddenly fall in love with NRA spokesman Clint Eastwood since he just denounced Trump and came out in support of Bloomberg.

The Democratic hate for Trump has no boundaries. It pumped up the sleazy porn lawyer Avenati and considered that total scumbag for President for one reason - BECAUSE he hated Trump so visibly. 

There are literally dozens of examples of abhorrent acts of social behavior that are considered acceptable and he even applaud because they feed into the TDS narrative. 

Democratic Trump haters won't even directly censure outright anti-Semites Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib because they are rabid Ttump haters.

Democrats, especially on mainstream media and in Hollywood even believed Jessy Smollett's preposterous story because it fit the hate Trump narrative. It is no coincidence that Hollywood (Hate Central) chose Robert Di Nero, the poster boy for Trump hate for the "lifetime achiever" award.  And chances are quite high that Alex Baldwin will make an appearance on SNL this Saturday to remind Democrats about what really matters in this 2020 election!

The Democratic Party and the mainstream media made Sanders the frontrunner.  He is riding the wave of anger and hate they created:

• Trump's appreciation for capitalism is answered by Sanders disgust for it.
• Trump's respect for the 2nd Amendment is met by Sanders's disdain for it.
• Trump's support for Israel is met by Sanders support for Hamas and BDS.
• Trump's Patriotism and Pride as Commander in Chief is met by Sanders adoration for Colin Kaepernick.
• Trump's love for America is answered by Sanders contempt for it.
• The popular support for Trump is met by Democratic voter's popular support for Sanders.

So far every Democratic Primary debate has turned into a circular firing squad which gives the night to Trump.  There is no apparent platform, and the candidates clearly don't agree on one.  Except for the most obvious platform.

The Democrats have had one singular message and platform for over three years. The Democratic frontrunner candidate is the one who MOST RESEMBLES THE ANGER AND HATE FOR DONALD TRUMP AND ALL HE STANDS FOR AND ALL WHO STAND FOR HIM. 

Bernie Sanders is an octogenarian Socialist who has lived off the taxpayers for over 40 years. He is a lifelong politician with the most unsuccessful legislative record to show for it. He is an annoyance to his colleagues in the Senate where none of them took him seriously. By all rights he as no right to be the frontrunner. But none of that seems to matter because he fits the image which the Democratic Party and the mainstream media have planted in the heads of so many millions of Americans.  Such is the power of propaganda!  If it can get Hitler elected, it can surely give Bernie Sanders the Democratic nomination.

The Democratic Party and the Leftist media made their bed and now they have to sleep in it.

There is however one other thing which Bernie Sanders represents and that causes his supporters to gravitate to him.  I agree with him on it.  People are TOTALLY feed with the Washington establishment, the Washington elite and the SWAMP, in both BOTH PARTIES!

The problem for Sanders is that as the Presidential election comes around the majority of voters will realize that Sanders IS the Washington Establishment, only worse!  He's both a lifetime Washington politician AND he has the worst solutions.

IN CONCLUSION: Trump is the true outsider who was sent Washington to DRAIN THE SWAMP! 

For over 30 years everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Rona Barett has encouraged Donald Trump to run for President because he was a smart and powerful outsider. He has also been articulating practically the same message for nearly three decades.

The one other thing will be the SAME reason Trump's going to be elected for 4 MORE YEARS -- TO DRAIN THE SWAMP.

THE WALL, THE VIRUS, THE ECONOMY - THE CONNECTION.

IS TRUMP SPEEDING UP THE WALL TO SAVE LIVES FROM THE CORONAVIRUS?

First watch this video on Facebook  and then consider my question.

The Chinese Government continues to cover up the truth about the Coronavirus epidemic, which China is desperately trying to avoid becoming a pandemic.

This cannot be stopped in Asia without an effective prevention vaccine. Treatment will save lives but not prevent the spread.

Here is a link to CDC for information on the virus:

Thankfully Trump put a ban on travel from China a couple of weeks ago. That will slow the virus spread, but not stop it. Infected carriers from China have already been to able to travel to other nations, who can infect others who do not know they are infected and may come to the USA or Canada or MEXICO.

Thankfully Trump is also rushing construction of the WALL. You may have noticed that just recently Trump moved ANOTHER ~$4 billion from the Defense budget to the wall and has waived laws in order to  accelerate construction. 

Though Trump hasn't said so yet, possibly because he doesn't want to create panic, or be accused of exploiting the virus for political purposes, I suspect a big reason Trump IS SPEEDING UP wall constrution is BECAUSE Mexico does substantial business and travel with China which makes an outbreak in Mexico more likely.

IF infected, an illegal alien would bring the virus to the USA.  Whereas, those entering the USA LEGALLY are screened FOR RISK FACTORS at the border. That is one reason borders are important!

Border security is integral to defenses against a serious virus or other infections.  For the same reason the border and customs officers search for food & vegetables, invasive species and screen for NUMEROUS other risk factors.  If people can cross our borders illegally and bypass customs we lose an essential means of defense.  

Furthermore, Mexico doesn't have the disease control that the USA has so there may be a greater potential for an outbreak getting out of control.  IF this were to happen, with the USA having both an unprotected border AND superior health care, Mexican's fearing or facing infection would be motivated to cross illegally. 

The border wall is already helping to reduce illegal crossing.  It only stands to reason that a more complete wall will have a greater impact. 

It is just common sense to think that the Coronavirus elevated concerns in our government officials who are responsible for disease control and motivated Trump's recent actions to move funds and accelerate construction - if not for that virus then for the next.  

COVID-19 PERSPECTIVE:
- 646,000 people worldwide die each year from the FLU.
- 1 Million Deaths Every Year caused by mosquitoes.
- 1.25 million worldwide die in car crashes.
- COVID-19 estimates are as high as 50 million. 

CONTAGION

TRANSMISSION


UPDATE: 2/20/20 12PM - TODAY THERE WAS A WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION BRIEFING.  A TEAM OF WORLDWIDE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS HAS JUST LANDED IN CHINA  Link to briefing.

***THERE IS ALSO A VERY OMINOUS CONCLUSION AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE DIRECTOR'S OPENING REMARKS!!!

UPDATE 2/23/20:  Report Suggests That Details Point To Coronavirus Coming From Chinese Lab. Article Link. 

Hundreds of Israelis have been placed in quarantine after coming in contact with Korean tourist group that included people diagnosed with coronavirus.  Israel's goverment taking measures to defend against the attack. Israel's Airport Authority is working to return some 800 tourists from Asia to their home countries.

UPDATE: 2/24/20:  Iranian MP says Coronavirus death toll rises to 50 in Iranian city of Qom, government denies.  Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Afghanistan announce first coronavirus cases, all linked to Iran.

It's hard to keep up with virus, because it is ACCELERATING. That's the nature of EXPONENTIAL growth! The Covid-19 virus is going VIRAL!

Without a preventative vaccine and treatment, quarantine and limiting exposure becomes a necessary strategy for constraining the virus.

It is been just proven that the virus is transferring asymptomatically, even before chest scans detect infection. This dramatically increases the precautions that have to be taken to slow the spread. With Quarantine requirements practically impossible to be met is not likely that the spread of the virus can be stopped. Given how rapidly exponential growth accelerates, and with there being no vaccine, this virus can very possibly become a world pandemic within months if not weeks.  It can quickly overwhelm public & private health care services and hospitals.

Based on the current world population of ~7.7 billion and the current mortality rate of 2% it is possible that the virus could claim tens of millions of lives. Perhaps many more.

Before the physical reality of a deadly pandemic sinks in, the reality will take it's toll of world economies.  Besides fear's effects on individual behavior, the steps which government, schools, transportation and businesses will have to take could well cripple society and commerce.

I cannot overstate the financial consequences to the economy if a vaccine or effective treatment is not arrived at fairly soon.

On a positive note, the virus is not a death sentence. Plus the greatest minds and labs from around the world in all the related fields are working feverishly to find a cure.

THE STAGE IS SET FOR PURIM

03■09 to 3■10 are the dates for Purim in ■2020■.

• 2 - The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection.
• 9 - is associated with truth. The Biblical numerology of number 9 is the finality or the judgement. It is generally when at the time of judging a person and his works. Also, number 9 is used to define the perfect movement of God. The biblical number 9 is [also] a number of patience.
• 10 (Yod) - The Word for the Number Ten in Hebrew. ... The Hebrew character or letter that equals ten is a Yud and looks like this: י, it is the smallest Hebrew letter. The symbolical meaning of the Yud is God's Hand, meaning how God's Hand works or interacts in our lives.
• 2 and 20 are also very significant!.

The meaning and power of 10.

Purim is coming up. This is the festival Jews celebrate jubilantly the DESTRUCTION of Haman. We blot out his family name together as we are commanded to retell the Book of Esther!

Haman had hatred in his heart for the Jews. And he nurtured his grudge into a plot to destroy them. But with her brother Mordechai, the good Queen Ester revealed the truth and Haman's plot to King Achashverosh of Persia. (~300 b.c.) The King allowed the Jews to arm themselves and they defeated their enemies.

Today's conspirators acted like Haman. They took hate into their heart and nurtured their grudge over Trump winning the election.

But God will not allow a Nation founded upon his values and in trust to him, one that blesses and protects the Nation of Israel, to be overthrown by evil doers.

The cunning evil forces tried also to break America's support for Israel to weaken our Nation and remove our blessing. But they were rebuked!

Since Trump was elected and glorified God by declaring Jerusalem Israel's eternal Capital, God has been playing with the haters egos and it is hardening their hearts. America is winning more than it has in 50 years. Trump has had success after success.

The haters' hearts are as hardened as they can be. Each truly believes . . .

• Hillary thinks she won.
• Pelosi thinks Trump was not acquitted.
• Biden thinks he is off the hook.
• Sanders think he's the right leader for America.
• Schiff and Nadler still think Trump colluded with Russia.
• Romney thinks he is righteous. 

The stage is set for the Book of Esther.  In the days of Haman, descendant of Agag, the king of the Amalekites, his plans were spoiled and his days were numbered.

Haman and his family of conspiring traitors were brought to justice.

As King Saul and David destroyed the Amelekites, The General of Justice in America will use the fiery sword of justice to cut through the Deep State. Like Haman and his sons, Brennan, Clapper, Comey and many others will be lead to the gallows.

Since 01■01■2020 the tables have turned on the conspirators!

Once their crimes are exposed Americans can rejoice and celebrate, for a time. But the time will be brief. The 2020 election will come. And Trump will win mightily!

Coming events will ensure that Trump wins 4 more years. 

The haters didn't accept the last election. Their hardened hearts believed that Haman's plot would succeed. They took comfort in their belief that Trump would be removed before his term was over, in effect validating their vote and their ego.

When Trump wins the 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION  and the haters must face the reality of 4 more years with Trump, their hate will rise to a higher level - RAGE. They will take their pitched anger and aggression out on God's believers, the faithful and supporters of this great Nation.

People in a state of rage don't think rationally. They are truly dangerous. Chaos and violence will ensure. Bernie Bro's and Antifa fascists will go literally crazy.  The country will have to use police force on it's people. 

4 is the door.

The number 4 is meaningful.  4 opens the door to the Rise of Rage. The haters hearts will explode at the thought of 4 more years. (Follow my link for an explanation on that.)

The door will release the rage but through the door will come the Lord. Who will be the Judah?  We shall all behold in due time. Be patient and stay calm.

For believers in Yeshua, it is interesting to know that Dalet, 4, has special meaning too.

IF YOU PLAY IN THE DIRT YOU ARE GONNA GET DIRTY

"I [God] form the light and create darkness, I make peace and I create evil, I am the LORD who does all of these" (Isaiah 45:7) 

If a child or any animal plays in the dirt they are going to get dirty. They are going to need to wash off.  But that's OK.

Dry dirt you may just dust off.  Mud is more difficult, it needs to be washed off.

Some dirt is more difficult to remove than other. There is dirt that is downright toxic and requires that we wear protection, like gloves or a face mask.  There is dirt that is so hazardous that it requires a Haz-Mat suite, for example when cleaning mold.

In life there is Good and Evil. Evil is like dirt. It is all around us. We can't entirely avoid it. It will get on us. We can try to keep it away - to protect ourselves. We have to regularly wash it off us - like we wash our hands.

Office Mezzuzah 

We can take steps to protect ourselves and our home from dirt and evil. Such as Jews do with a Mezzuzah (see footnote) that we put on our door posts and entrance gate.

Evil is constantly lerking around to get us. Evil has its eye on us, perpetually looking for a way in, a portal opening into our life and a chance to rob our soul.

Hamsa in window

Since ancient times human beings have sensed the dynamic with good and evil. The hamsa is a prehistoric symbol and an example of humankind's instinctual sence of the evil eye watching us.

The hamsa also represents our desire to guard our surroundings from evil. Like a Mezzuzah, many Jews and gentiles hang the hamsa around their homes and wear them as jewelry.

Staying mindful of God is a great way we protect ourselves of Evil. Wearing a Kippah is a way to stay mindful. Saying prayers daily is another.

I believe that making time for Shabbat, lighting the Shabbas candles in our home, is a tremendous way to clean our home of evil. When we recieve the Sabbath Queen into our home we are inviting the Spirit (God) into our home. The Spirit is going to clean our home by driving out evil. In a sense it is analogous to having a super maid coming in that cleans our entire home.

We must be careful where we go and what we bring into our lives. There are some places and some topics that are dirtier than others. For example, a strip club is about as dirty a place a man can go. If a man walks in he will lust after women. If he is married he has a major clean up job to do!

Pornograhy is a similar evil problem.  The Internet makes it so easy to get dirty.

Politics is a very dirty subject. There are lots of nasty people in that field. Some have a good heart and they go into politics in an attempt to clean things up. If those folks don't have heavy "protection" they are going to get dirty - they will get infected. They must wash the evil off. If they stay in politics too long it is practically impossible for them to stay clean. That's one reason for term limits.

And when it comes to politics I am talking about ALL politics, regardless of Party!  Politics by its nature divides us - it separates us. That's what evil does - it pits us against one another. Politics will pit two good people against one another. That's how evil wins!  Evil doesn't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican.

Evil wins by increasing your emotions EITHER WAY!  Evil thrives on disagreement. People seem to be losing the ability to disagree in constructive ways. I think that is the work of Evil.

Some people can't deal with people on the other political side. But the key point I want to make is it doesn't matter what side either way!  Even if one is in a room with ONLY people on their same political side, they are still in the dirt. Evil surrounds them.  Some of us simply can't handle it and are best to stay out of the room altogether.

The news media and Hollywood are continuously dragging us INTO the dirt! 

Furthermore, if any of us thinks we have the knowledge to judge good and evil, think again.

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.
Robert Schuller

In Judaism we speak if the yetzer hara (יֵצֶר הַרַע), the inclination to do evil. But that phrase is drawn from the phrase "the imagination of the the heart of man is evil." (See Genesis 6:5, 8:21).

In closing, for me, I obviously speak about politics. I do things to protect myself. And I take time wash off.  But I have no false illusion.  I am in the dirt!  Please pray for me. 🙏💗

For every deed God will bring to judgment-for every hidden thing, whether good or bad. Ecclesiastes 12:14

Mezzuzah on front door post

Footnote:

And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts ("mezuzot") of your house and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged upon the land which the L-rd swore to give to your fathers for as long as the heavens are above the earth (Deuteronomy 11:20-21).

According to the Tosafot and the Shulchan Aruch, the main function of the mezuzah is to protect the house from evil. Because of this attribute, the mezuzah has been called "the coat of arms in the knighthood of G‑d." To begin to understand the mechanism of this effect of the mezuzah, we must first delve into the concept of evil itself.
