Three years, and we've lost...

Three years ago Saturday night, it was a Wednesday, and the real beginnings of it popped off in reports that a disruption to the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz was surfacing in the hours after the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.

Then, Rudy Gobert of the Jazz (who, days before, mocked the entire process by "infecting" all of the microphones at a press conference earlier in the week -- which probably meant he actually HAD infected the entire Jazz press corps) tested positive for the coronavirus (to the extent they could've done then), and the following ensued:

Within 33 minutes, the NBA had called off the remainder of the regular season.  A form of the rest of the regular season and playoffs was eventually constructed in a Florida bubble environment.

Within 36 hours, for the first time, the meaningful nation had come to a screeching halt.  I want to say the next real sporting event in the country was at least 60 days away, and some schools waited almost two years to fully reopen...

... and it's clear they shouldn't have reopened -- and we have the false supposition of "freedom" to thank for that.

Keith Olbermann, intelligently, said that the most powerful entity in the world as of March 11, 2020 was not a person, but a small virus.  That's still true today.  Probably ten million US deaths later (yes, I think the number is being that badly underreported, and intentionally so!), it is clear that the intent of the American Right -- the Right To Infect -- has won the day.

Worse, it appears an effort to discredit the entire American medical industry, as well as make this country absolutely ungovernable going forward, is rising as many of it's supporters believe the South will, again...

In fact, we have about 40% of the country who actually believes that the United States intentionally and deliberately created a vaccine (in the name of trying to get a feasible restart) with a mechanism to create mass blood clots in most of the American population.

Do these stupid fucking idiots have one clue of what would actually be in play if that were the case?

I mean, SERIOUSLY...  If the United States government had any degree of intent to pull that off, do you not believe it would be far more selective in who it killed, etc. and so forth?

No, people...  I think it's clear what this is, and it's what the White Right has wanted since Day Damned One three years ago...  You see, especially the Libertarians -- but the rest of the "Freedom Loving" White Right as well -- want a mechanism to kill the old, the fat, the Left, the useless, the homeless, the illegal immigrants, the LGBT's, etc.

And the COVID-19 virus gave them that opportunity.  It was pretty much known, also, that Day Damned One that the virus coupled with comorbidities...

So you'd think the Right would actually love the ability to kill many groups it didn't like -- but that wasn't enough.

They actually, in the process of doing so, slaughtered any real hope of actually defeating the virus -- and this is why you are seeing quad-vaccinated people getting the virus.

And then there's the other real angle I explored with all this: What I called the All-Stop Condition.

I named three -- and I will leave it as an exercise to the reader how close we have gotten:

• Power grid/Internet go down large-scale
• Food supply chain breaks
• We just lose order

I think, of the three, we are closest to #3.  The only question left is how and why.

We may have to add a fourth:  Price-gouging or inflation, and the belief there is too much money in the system.  These Conservative pigs are going to have to understand that the only way to reduce the money supply is to do the same to the population -- or is that the point?
