    It's conceivable that we could need special facilities. Trump sent that medical ship that NYC supposedly needed. We may get lucky, but we may not, and we might need them. NG and other military need to be ready to deploy hospitals and provide medical transport. They need to operate in pods with rapid testing. We need to be getting them the equipment they need to do all of this, yesterday. We should be prepared.

    My contribution is amassing in a warehouse with other people, in the middle of a pandemic, in order to provide Americans with their frivolous goods from China, which is run by a dictatorship that is almost certainly responsible for that pandemic through some sort of experimentation that Fauci has been a fan of for years.

    After throwing and pushing thousands of pounds of boxes per day, I barely have the energy left to study the narratives of authoritarian governments and medical technocrats around the world, so as to expose them for being the last people we need in charge at this moment in human history.

    The scrutiny has harmed us. For one, it silenced us on social media, because of concerns of xenophobia, for years, on discussions on the origin of Covid. Some of those discussions could have went viral. But they were suppressed, to the detriment of the security of all of humanity. Not worth it.

    The elites are those that benefit from Covid, through increased power and/or wealth.

    Private citizens make steel better than government, but if your nation finds itself in a life or death struggle that requires steel to win, the government better get involved in steel production for the duration of the struggle.

    How can the US ever get into a war with China when the US can't even make its own lightbulbs? Do you think China will be willing to sell the US ammo for its military weapons to use against Chinese troops?

    The problem isn't necessarily outsourcing itself. It is the fact that the dummies outsourced everything to one of America's major enemies. There are lots of friendly countries that the US could have outsourced things to but the idiots compromised national security by making the country dependent upon China. That made them stronger and the US weaker.

    5.23 million dead people, 777,000 of them here in the U.S., and you believe that's a fraud?

    :no:

    Big tech silences any scientist or doctor that goes against the mainstream narrative. I suspect that the NIH stops funding of any scientist who dares defy any aspect of the Covid narrative. The CCP disappears anyone who goes against the narrative.

    The end result? We still have no clue how this virus came about, and we still don't offer treatment for it.

    Consumer greed. If people wanted higher prices then there would be no need to manufacture in China. Business does what its customers want it to do. The best approach to this problem is tariffs. Those will motivate a return to American manufacture.

    Old tech writing rule: spell out acronyms upon first usage. What is the CCP?

    Either COVID-19 started in bats and was transmitted to humans via civet cats, as we've been told, or it somehow got put of a lab in Wuhan, China, as many of us suspect, including me. There doesn't seem to be an abundance of truth on that.

    As for treatments aside from the vaccines, it took me all of two minutes to find this:

    https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/know-your-treatment-options-covid-19

    - If you have a mild case, stay home and treat it like the common cold.

    - For those needing hospitalization, there's remdesivir and/or,monoclonal antibodies.

    - Coming soon to a pharmacy near you: a new pill called molnupiravir. It took 30 seconds to google this:

    https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/9-things-to-know-about-covid-pill

    You can just sit there and whinge, or you can google stuff for yourself. In this information-loaded day and age, ignorance is a chouce. Just sayin' ... no disrespect intended to you personally.

    I have researched treatments. Almost all of them rely on early detection. Yet when I called the VA 2 weeks ago, the first thing I heard was a recording that instructed me to stay home if experiencing Covid symptoms.

    Stay home and call us if you need a ventilator is piss poor medical advice. This VA is in a major metropolitan area. It's indicative of the overall failure of the medical community to treat this sickness. That's what happens when we are guided by corrupt bureaucrats and politicians that sold us down the river over Covid.

    VA = Veterans Affairs
    CCP = Chinese Communist Party

    Re: "... the overall failure of the medical community to treat this sickness" -- Perhaps it's just me, but you may want to cut 'em a little slack. This is a new virus, after all, and information changes frequently enough to be confusing. Your expectations seem a bit unrealistic.

    Re: "... corrupt bureaucrats and politicians that sold us down the river over Covid." -- Damn right! The Trump administration tried to sweep the whole pandemic under the rug for nearly a year, causing the needless loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. The Biden administration is doing a much better job, but like I said, it's a new virus, and the delta variant is quite vicious.

    It would help tremendously if more people would get vaccinated. That much we do know.

    It would help more if the medical community treated this sickness. I've been in hospitals. I've talked to the personnel. It's clear they don't serve me. They have other masters.

    Short answer: Never.

    The utterly-corrupt World Health Org is practically a CPC mouthpiece. I mean they actually skipped "Xi" in the damn Greek alphabet so as not to offend the now-permanent life-long Dear Leader of the P.R.C.

    Too many world leaders have too many hands in China's cookie jar to dare upset Winnie The Xi.

    Masters? Now you sound like you're discussing a conspiracy theory.

    Sorry, but I'm unable to take that seriously.

    It's a euphemism. They serve me, but they serve insurance and pharmaceutical companies at a higher level than me. Walk in with an objective, open mind, and it is clear.

    That's a clever accusation about open minds. Nicely crafted to pass the moderators, but nevertheless insulting.
