Wuhan Virus Ethic Train Wreck Update
JULY 31, 2020 / JACK MARSHALL


1. Dr. Fauci told ABC News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton
yesterday, “If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it…You have
mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the
eye. Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you
have goggles or an eye shield you should use it.”

Now you tell us!

Though Fauci is in a high-risk demographic, he has never been shown wearing
goggles. Or are glasses like he wears (and I do), good enough? If that’s
true, he should say so, NOW. Then again, he didn’t wear a mask when he wasn’t
social distancing at the Nats game last week.



2. Explain to me again why Fauci is so beloved and sucked up to by the same
news media that claims President Trump has “blood on his hands” from his
handling of the completely unpredictable pandemic. Fauci has been
inconsistent; he has been flat out wrong on many occasions, and then we get
head scratchers like a recent interview with PBS NewsHour, where he lauded
New York’s disastrous response to the Wuhan virus.

“We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have
done it. We have done it in New York,” he told PBS’s Judy Woodruff. “New
York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly.”

Really? Doing nothing to curb the obvious virus-encouraging subway travel at
the peak of the outbreak…



was “doing it right”? Governor Cuomo dumping infected seniors into nursing
homes was “doing it right?”

Lest we forget..

Cuomo had issued a directive on March 25 requiring nursing facilities to
accept patients recovering from the Wuhan virus, and the policy, as many
health experts predicted at the time, was a disaster. More than 5,400 New
Yorkers have died in nursing facilities from the virus, forcing Cuomo to
withdraw his directive…Then New York officials admitted to miscounting
nursing home Wuhan virus deaths by only counting residents who died from the
disease in the facility itself , intentionally omitting the deaths of
residents who died after being transferred to a hospital.

[When] a reporter asked Cuomo, “Governor, what would you say to families who
have suffered losses inside nursing homes? They’re looking for
accountability, and they’d like to see justice.”… Cuomo’s answer:

“Older people, vulnerable people are going to die from this virus. That is
going to happen despite whatever you do. Because with all our progress as a
society, we can’t keep everyone alive. Despite what everything you do and
older people are more vulnerable. And that is a fact. And that is not going
to change.”

Matt Margolis adds,

President Trump issued stay-at-home guidelines on March 16, 2020. But Cuomo
didn’t order a lockdown until March 22, which was six days after San
Francisco shut down and three days after the State of California.
California, which has nearly double the population of New York, hasn’t been
hit nearly as hard. As of Saturday evening, New York has had 411,006 cases
and 32,167 COVID-19 deaths. California, however, has had 380,487 cases and
7,660 deaths.

According to a Wall Street Journal investigation, “leaders in states like
California and Ohio acted quickly to contain the spread,” while Governor
Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio “delayed taking measures to close the
state and city even as the number of cases swelled, despite warnings from
doctors, nurses and schoolteachers.”

3. ARE laws just for the little people? This week, Muriel Bowser, the
Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., issued a mandated face mask order for
the city. Anyone caught ignoring the order can be fined up to $1,000. Well,
almost anybody…



4. Meanwhile, several wags took to Twitter on yesterday to ask if former
President Barack Obama and the dozens of members of Congress who attended
Rep. John Lewis’ funeral in Atlanta will abide by Washington, D.C.’s
mandatory 14-day quarantine order for those who travel to a “high-risk”
state…like, say, just to pick one out of a hat, Georgia. According to a
post from Mayor Bowser’s office dated July 24, 2020, travelers in the city
are expected to adhere to the 14-day quarantine after they visit areas
determined to be “high-risk” for pandemic transmission. The move is aimed to“mitigate
the spread of COVID-19 in the District and protect the health, safety, and
welfare of District residents, and will help return us to a downward
trajectory of new cases.” The Peach Tree State is on that list of high risk
areas.

5. Then there are those in Atlanta who have been unable to have the funerals
they wanted for their loved ones who justly question the conduct of the
Lewis mourners…





It is this wholesale hypocrisy (and, unless they have been lying to us,
stupidity) by government officials and leaders that causes so many Americans
to resent and defy the mask and social distancing protocols.

Actually, the vlogging of front-line medical workers, both nurses and
doctors, in full PPE-gear have been telling everyone this from the
outset of the pandemic.

Dr. Fauci has not been shown working on the front-line taking care of
COVID-19 patients.

Not while taking care of COVID-19 patients on the front-line.

... so that if he were to be infected with COVID-19, we'd suspect he
contracted it while not wearing a mask "at the Nats game last week"
just as we suspect that recently deceased Herman Cain (RIP) contracted
COVID-19 while not wearing a mask at Trump's Tulsa rally on June 20th
after which, 9 days later, he test positive for the coronavirus on
June 29th and died from the infection on July 30th.

According to Pres. Trump and his niece, Mary, his personality is the
reason why people don't like him. Dr. Fauci apparently has a better
personality.
Actually, what is really causing many Americans to "resent and defy
the mask and social distancing protocols" is the failing leadership of
imPOTUS45 with the most notable example being the earlier mentioned
recently deceased American, Herman Cain (RIP).

In the interim, I am simply wonderfully hungry (

healthy appetite too.

So how are you ?

LORD Jesus Christ is our #1 example of the One Who is wonderfully
hungry (Luke 24:42).

Therefore, this teaching is about the LORD our Mighty (Isaiah 9:6)
GOD.

Yes, the average American is overeating more than twice what they
should.

Overeating is, in fact, the deadly (Proverbs 23:2) Adam&Eve sin
(Hebrews 12:1) of gluttony.

And what is our daily portion (i.e. daily bread in "the LORD's
prayer") ?

"2 pounds of wheat for a day's wages" (Revelation 6:6)

Source:
http://biblehub.com/revelation/6-6.htm

It is also described in the Bible that the disciples of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth harvested raw wheat to eat on the Sabbath instead of
barley.

This would also be the omer, which is the right amount "for each
person according to their need" (Exodus 16:16).

"An omer of manna weighs 2 pounds" -- Holy Spirit (referring to
Revelation 6:6)

Yes, she is.

And, she's still saying/writing that she's wonderfully hungry despite

Yes, and now they (the police officers) are also saying they are
http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungry (Philippians 4:12) after learning
that being http://bit.ly/h_angry (Genesis 25:32) puts them in danger
of being cursed (Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD so that their body cams would

Determining the perishing condition of your soul has been a diagnosis
made by a physician ( http://WDJW.net/HeartDoc ), who has an
http://bit.ly/EternalMedicalLicense , after testing you to see if you
can say "Jesus is LORD" with your mouth (Romans 10:9) unto salvation
(Romans 10:10).

You cannot:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/ce695f32decbd362?

Diagnosis is not judgment.

Your confusion here is consistent with the perishing condition of your
soul.

This along with your lying (name-calling is lying) is consistent with
your still needing to be born again (John 3:3 & 5) of water and the
Spirit of truth, Who is the Holy Spirit (

While http://bit.ly/wonderfully_hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes

Dr. Fauci did not qualify his statement as applying only to front-line
health care workers.
There is low public confidence in the public health establishment.

Here is Dr. Fauci himself.

http://ethicsalarms.com/2020/05/05/the-pandemic-creates-a-classic-and-difficult-ethics-conflict-but-the-resolution-is-clear-part-i-stipulations/#comment-685899

https://710wor.iheart.com/featured/mark-simone/content/2020-04-03-watch-dr-fauci-in-january-say-you-dont-need-to-worry-about-coronavirus/

This is not a major threat to the people of the United States and this is
not something that the citizens of the United States should be worried about
right now,” Dr. Fauci told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on January 21.

“It isn’t something the American public needs to worry about or be
frightened about, because we have ways of preparing and screening of people
coming in [from China],” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci told “The Cats Roundtable” on 970
AM-N.Y., per The Hill, January 26.

Fauci doesn’t want people to worry about coronavirus, the danger of which is
“just minuscule.” But he does want them to take precautions against the
“influenza outbreak, which is having its second wave.” February 17- USA
Today

https://disrn.com/news/fauci-said-on-february-29-that-going-to-malls-movie-theaters-gyms-was-ok

then there were completely asinine health regulations by state governors.

http://ethicsalarms.com/2020/04/13/no-the-president-isnt-a-dictator-but-given-the-opportunity-these-elected-officials-might-be/

There are many ironies and contradictions in the various government
reactions to the Wuhan virus, some quite yummy, like the municipalities that
had banned plastic bags that are now forced to ban the re-usable kind, and
demand the use of the plastic once again. Some day, when this is all over,
we can sit around and laugh about it all.

This development, however, is not funny: a frightening number of governors,
mayors and police officers have demonstrated how much of our democracy is
currently entrusted to nascent totalitarians. I know, I know: to protect the
public in a unique crisis, extraordinary measures must be taken, and because
so many in our democracy don’t really possess the intelligence and sense of
social responsibility that the Founders, in their idealistic fervor, decided
to pretend they had (much less the common sense of the average meerkat),
sometimes those measures must be accompanied by the force of law. However,
because it is a democracy and one that begins with wariness of governments
infringing on personal liberties, and will end with our governments being
supported when they decided those liberties can be ignored on a whim and a
hunch, the recent gusto with which elected officials and their police forces
have felt justified in crushing those liberties are warnings that
responsible citizens must not let go unpunished. I wrote about one example
here, regarding Vermont’s governor’s move to stop the big box stores from
selling items Maple Syrup big Brother considers “non-essential.” There are
more.

Ethics Alarms already covered the father taken away in handcuffs for playing
T-ball on on otherwise empty field with his wife and 6-year-old child, but
the Philadephia police pulling people off buses for not wearing masks, or
the aspiring fascist officer who tried to chase down single jogger on an
empty beach initially escaped my attention. There are so many examples, you
see.

Occasionally the courts have stepped in, though not nearly occasionally
enough, (I think I’ll inject my “Where is the ACLU?” line now.) Louisville
Mayor Greg Fischer—Guess what party?—issued an order last week prohibiting
churches from gathering for Easter services even if congregants remained in
their cars for a “drive-in” service.

“We’re saying no church worshiping,” the mayor decreed. Before Easter,
however, U.S. District Judge Justin Walker rebuked the mayor, and granted a
local Louisville church, On Fire Christian Center, a temporary restraining
order allowing the church and presumably others to hold modified Easter
gatherings.

“On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration
of Easter. That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see
outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion,”
Walker wrote. “But two days ago, citing the need for social distancing
during the current pandemic, Louisville’s Mayor Greg Fischer ordered
Christians not to attend Sunday services, even if they remained in their
cars to worship — and even though it’s Easter. The Mayor’s decision is
stunning. And it is, ‘beyond all reason,’ unconstitutional.”

Well, of course it was. The question would be too easy for a 5th grade
civics test, so why didn’t the mayor’s ethics alarms, never mind his First
Amendment alarms, ring before he made such an offensive decision? What about
his aides? What about law enforcement, none of whom appears to have
cautioned him, “Sir, we can’t ticket people who stay in their cars”?

Think about why.

I should also mention that Walker is one of those horrible conservative
judges that President Trump appointed and Kentucky’s own Mitch McConnell has
fast-tracked to the bench. We have been told that these judges are part of
the plot to take away Americans’ rights. More irony.

Nevertheless, two churches in Greenville, Mississippi were holding drive-in
services for Holy Week when police showed up and ordered churchgoers to
leave or face a $500 fine. The city’s mayor, Erick Simmons, defended the ban
by arguing that people might get out of their cars to use the bathroom. Yes,
he really did. Also banning drive-in worship services were the 10-county
area in south central Georgia (south and east of Macon), and Riverside
County in southern California, though that one allowed an exception for
Easter weekend–which makes no sense whatsoever. Democratic Nevada Governor
Steve Sisolak issued a stay-at-home order on the Wednesday of Holy Week
that specifically banned drive-in services.

Then we have Michigan governor Gretchen Witmer, who has been prominently
mentioned as a possible running mate for Joe Biden.

As part of her ongoing impression of the revolutionary leader in Wood Allen’s
“Bananas,” who declares upon seizing the presidency that the language of the
small South American country is officially Swedish, Whitmer has decreed
what items are and are not “essential” and what stores can and cannot sell
as part of her totalitarian order issued last week.

Among the banned products are fruit and vegetable plants and seeds. Lottery
tickets, on the other hand, are still permitted, because addicting citizens
to gambling for the benefit of the state is essential. Paint, flooring,
garden centers and furniture are also considered non-essential, so you can’t
buy them either in Michigan. Nor can you buy car seats for children. Why?
Because the Governor says so, that’s why!

Governor Whitmer also banned Michiganders from traveling “between
residences” if they own a cottage or a summer home. For some reason, the ban
only applies to Michigan residents, so an out-of-stater with a cottage could
presumably still visit. The ban also still allows travel between states, so
if a Michigander has a cottage in Wisconsin he can travel there without
being arrested or fined by state police.

The officials who show their true colors in this crisis—and I’m not the only
one taking down names—have signaled that they can’t be trusted, and neither
can their enablers and apologists. As David Harsanyi wrote today,
“[A]uthoritarianism isn’t defined as ‘strict obedience to authority at the
expense of personal freedom except when there is a pandemic.’ Your
declarative sentences and forceful feelings do not transform the meaning of
either authoritarianism or freedom. Though if we dump our principles every
time there’s a crisis, they might as well.”

Finally, the public health establishment discredited itself much more than
Dr. Fauci, President Trump, or these state officials.


http://ethicsalarms.com/2020/06/08/oh-no-its-monday-ethics-review-6-8-2020-a-yoos-rationalization-orgy/


"However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as
risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national
public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in
the United States. We can show that support by facilitating safest
protesting practices without detracting from demonstrators' ability to
gather and demand change. This should not be confused with a permissive
stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders.
Those actions not only oppose public health interventions, but are also
rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives.
Protests against systemic racism, which fosters the disproportionate burden
of COVID-19 on Black communities and also perpetuates police violence, must
be supported."


http://reason.com/2020/06/04/george-floyd-protesters-coronavirus-health-officials-disease/


"
After saying no to so many things, a significant number of public health
experts have determined that massive protests of police brutality are an
exception to the rules of COVID-19 mitigation. Yes, these protests are
outdoors, and yes, these experts have encouraged protesters to wear masks
and observe six feet of social distance. But if you watch actual footage of
protests—even the ones where cops are behaving badly themselves—you will see
crowds that are larger and more densely packed than the public beaches and
parks that many mayors and governors have heavily restricted. Every
signatory to the letter above may not have called for those restrictions,
but they also didn't take to a public forum to declare them relatively safe
under certain conditions.

"For many public health experts who have spent weeks advising policymakers
and the public on how to reduce their risk of getting or inadvertently
spreading the coronavirus, the mass demonstrations have forced a shift in
perspective," The New York Times tells us.

But they could have easily kept the same perspective: Going out is
dangerous, here's how to best protect yourself. The added well, this cause
is important, though, makes the previous guidance look rather suspect. It
also makes it seem like the righteousness of the cause is somehow a
mitigating factor for spreading the disease.

Examples of this new framing abound. The Times interviewed Tiffany
Rodriguez, an epidemiologist "who has rarely left her home since mid-March,"
but felt compelled to attend a protest in Boston because "police brutality
is a public health epidemic." NPR joined in with a headline warning readers
not to consider the two crises—racism and coronavirus—separately. Another
recent New York Times article began: "They are parallel plagues ravaging
America: The coronavirus. And police killings of black men and women."

Police violence, white supremacy, and systemic racism are very serious
problems. They produce disparate harms for marginalized communities:
politically, economically, and also from a medical standpoint. They
exacerbate health inequities. But they are not epidemics in the same way
that the coronavirus is an epidemic, and it's an abuse of the English
language to pretend otherwise. Police violence is a metaphorical plague.
COVID-19 is a literal plague.

These differences matter. You cannot contract racism if someone coughs on
you. You cannot unknowingly spread racism to a grandparent or roommate with
an underlying health condition, threatening their very lives. Protesting is
not a prescription for combatting police violence in the same way that
penicillin is a prescription for a bacterial infection. Doctors know what
sorts of treatments cure various sicknesses. They don't know what sorts of
protests, policy responses, or social phenomena will necessarily produce a
less racist society, and they shouldn't leverage their expertise in a manner
that suggests they know the answers.

It's clear that we've come to the point where people can no longer be
expected to stay at home no matter what. Individuals should feel empowered
to make choices about which activities are important enough to incur some
exposure to COVID-19 and possibly spreading it to someone else, whether that
activity is reopening a business, going back to work, socializing with
friends, or joining a protest against police brutality. Health experts can
help inform these choices. But they can't declare there's just one activity
that's worth the risk."- Robby Soave


http://reason.com/2020/06/09/public-health-experts-are-embarrassing-themselves/


"It's not that public health folks are wrong that racism and police
brutality have significant public health consequences; while coronavirus has
the potential to kill hundreds of thousands in a short period of time, over
the long-term racism and state violence can cause even greater harm.

But here's the thing: while it's understandable that people want to take to
the streets to protest racism and state violence, there is no
epidemiological or other scientific evidence that such protests will have
positive public health effects by spurring positive social and political
change. Any scientist or public health expert who suggests otherwise is
engaging in political and sociological speculation that is not only beyond
their expertise, but that really beyond anyone's expertise. But it's worse
when such speculation purports to be scientific, from experts whose
credibility is crucial for containing the current and future pandemics."-

"
Some of my social media friends have been insisting for some time that many
of the hardcore lockdown/social distancing advocates were less concerned
about public health and more about imposing their own value system against
what they considered an unenlightened public, and some subset of those
people actually welcomed the lockdown because they prefer people to live on
the government dole that to allow "capitalist exploitation." I'm not, to say
the least, a big fan of the political and public health establishment, but I
nevertheless thought this was too cynical, and I did (and still do) think
that many aspects of the lockdown were justified by public health needs.

Yet today we see Mayor DeBlasio arguing that protesting racism is more
important than being banned from attending religious services indefinitely,
and Governor Murphy of New Jersey stating that protests against racism may
flout social distancing rules, but he's going to continue to enforce them
against lockdown opponents.

Worse yet, Slate reports that:

Facing a slew of media requests asking about how protests might be a risk
for COVID-19 transmission, a group of infectious disease experts at the
University of Washington, with input from other colleagues, drafted a
collective response. In an open letter published Sunday, they write that
"protests against systemic racism, which fosters the disproportionate burden
of COVID-19 on Black communities and also perpetuates police violence, must
be supported."… By Tuesday afternoon, more than 1,000 epidemiologists,
doctors, social workers, medical students, and other health experts had
signed the letter.

So much for the "expert public health community."

I don't think anyone who knows me would describe me as at all credulous, but
I think I need to get even more cynical.

A final thought: For many of the left, anti-racism is basically a religion,
and they don't want the Covid crisis to interfere with an important
anti-racism ritual, protest. But when it comes to accommodating actual
religion, like having a religious quorum at a funeral? Feh, that's not
important."- David Bernstein

Theory is put into practice on the front-line (see **emphasis** above)
"Religion that GOD our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself
from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

The way (John 14:6) "to keep oneself from being polluted by the world"
(James 1:27) is to http://HeartMDPhD.com/Guard (Proverbs 4:23) the
heart (Matthew 15:19).

While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, not only don't have
COVID-19 but are rapture (Luke 17:37) ready and pray (2 Chronicles
7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6) Father in Heaven continues to
give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so
that we'd have much more of His Help to always say/write that we're
"wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways including especially caring to
http://bit.ly/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12 as shown by
http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) with all glory (
http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

Laus DEO !

Be hungrier, which really is wonderfully healthier especially for
diabetics and other heart disease patients:

GOD, Who causes us to hunger (Deuteronomy 8:3) when He blesses us
right now (Luke 6:21a) thereby removing the http://bit.ly/HeartVAT
from around the heart
