thelibertydaily--2020-04-20--Disease Expert: ‘Herd Immunity’ Only Way To Defeat Chi-Com Virus Without Vaccine

The United States ’ short-term effort to minimize the damage from the coronavirus is not going to win the long-term war against the disease , according to one expert .
Currently , the country is relying on social distancing and various forms of restrictions that have closed businesses , churches and schools .
The theory behind those actions is that if Americans are not gathered together , the virus can not zoom through the population .
What that does is buy time , and should not be confused with finding the final answer to fighting the virus , according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center in Connecticut , according to Fox News .
Katz noted that stopping the spread of the virus through social distancing may reduce its impact now , but it can not be the ultimate answer because unless current restrictions remain in place forever — an economically , socially and politically untenable proposition — the virus will spread sooner or later .

The burger chain Shake Shack says it has obtained new funding and will return a small-business loan it got to help weather the coronavirus crisis.
Shake Shack has laid off or furloughed hundreds of its employees and needed the assistance, its CEO Randy Garutti and its founder Danny Meyer said in a statement seen Monday.
But the company was able to get extra funding late last week through an “equity transaction” and decided to “immediately return” the $10 million paycheck protection loan it obtained through the CARES Act.
It said, “we’re fortunate to now have access to capital that others do not. Until every restaurant that needs it has had the same opportunity to receive assistance, we’re returning ours.”
The letter said shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic threaten $800 billion in U.S. restaurant spending and are a severe challenge to both Shake Shack and to Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group.

There are several underlying assumptions upon which the entire shutdown of society hinged. Most during Easter and Passover complied with all of them. But what happens if the next group doesn’t ‘buy-in’?
First, was blind faith in our experts. If the received wisdom of our experts had been seriously challenged, none but the most authoritarian of states would have had the political capital to shut down the global economy over a new disease with such an uncertain outcome as this one.
In the same way we have people opting out of flu shots, many in the public would have shrugged and ignored all the warnings until it got to the point when even the most optimistic experts would realize that we were past the point where containment was even an option.
Second is a sense of civic responsibility to our neighbors.
A moral obligation of doing no harm to a neighbor, of not taking advantage of a neighbor, or endangering a neighbor is a recurring theme through both the Torah (or Old Testament) and the Christian Bible. The American culture — though increasingly secular — has been more deeply shaped by Judeo-Christian morals and ethics than even most radical secularists could possibly imagine.
If the public genuinely believes that social distancing regulations are sparing our neighbors or fellow-citizens (whether we know them personally or not) from exposure to a potentially dangerous or even lethal disease, many of us will voluntarily (keyword, voluntarily) forgo the exercising of certain rights (but not the rights themselves) until the danger has passed.
A group that feels no strong connection to an outside culture — or a sense of national identity — may not be similarly motivated by such an impulse.
Third, is respect for authority.
Certain belief systems hold a natural affection for good laws and orderly conduct. So long as there is a certain level of goodwill towards the people and institutions overseeing the creation and enforcement of those laws, the laws will probably be followed without much thought to whether those laws are justified.
Other groups hold some other authority as higher than civil laws and those who would enforce them. Some would object because they have attached themselves to an outlaw culture such as gang involvement.
Others would reject them in what they would consider a righteous cause. It’s what our own Forbears are remembered for in 1776, it’s what led Christians to be eaten by lions or locked into gulags rather than denounce Christ. And it’s the choice that will lead many Muslims to choose between a civil authority forbidding obedience to their god and the commandment of their prophet.
I think we’ve all seen enough clips of streets clogged with prayer mats during peak traffic hours to have a good idea of how this is going to play out.
So Trump did what he does best… something that ties the media up in knots.
He pointed directly at the elephant in the room and started talking about it.
With Passover and Easter in the rearview mirror and Ramadan fast approaching, Trump asked the impertinent question by retweeting several Paul Sperry tweets:
This one really is worth discussing in its own right:
But we all know the press would be FAR more interested in a controversy that might paint Trump in a bad light than they are in passing along good news about America.
True to form, the press followed up on this one:
He was obviously ready and waiting for the question. If the reporter was hoping for a ‘gotcha’ question, he was sadly disappointed.
A reporter asked the president about the tweet. Trump was also asked if he believed that imams would encourage their congregants to disobey social distancing guidelines. ‘I just had a call with imams,’ Trump said. ‘I just had a call with ministers, rabbis.

Trump handled this just right. The question isn’t whether one religious group or another will defy the demands of the government. We’ve seen several instances where the demands of the government overstepped any justifiable grounds, and religious communities obeyed God and their conscience rather than an arbitrary dictate from a public official.
The REAL question is will the government’s response to any opposition, and their enforcement of the state’s will be in line with the obnoxious scrutiny put on some churches at Easter.
Like the 5 squad cars and 8 or 9 officers that showed up for a Church meeting despite the fact that it completely fulfilled the no-more-than-ten-in-the-building requirement.

Fake News CNN’s Zeleny On Auto Repeat: Michigan Protests Against Democrat Tyranny ‘Not Organic,’ ‘Not Organic,’ ‘Not Organic’

CNN ’ s Senior White House Correspondent Jeff Zeleny really wants you to know that protests about reopening the government are “ not organic.
” Zeleny described them this way three times on Sunday night , telling Don Lemon , “ there 's no question these are not organic protests.. ” He then compared the Michigan rallies to the dreaded Tea Party : “ As they began to spread across the country , it was organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition which was essentially an early group that organized the Tea Party movement .
We 're really almost a decade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both ways , he continued , “ But , Don , the reality is these are not organic protests .
That does n't necessarily take away the anger the real anger.
” But in case you were still wondering , the protests are not organic : Yes , some of them are actual people just coming because they are frustrated .
Of course everyone is frustrated by this .
But this systemic organization we 're seeing in capitals across the country is no doubt being organized by a loose connection of groups and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group like I said from about a decade or so .
We saw them in capitals across the country we will see them again next week here .
So this is not something that is happening organically .
Zeleny likes to point things out .
In October of 2018 , he awkwardly explained this fact about the victims of the Las Vegas massacre : “ Something else I think to keep in mind , a lot of these country music supporters were likely Trump supporters.
” In contrast , in 2009 , Zeleny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barack Obama : “ During these first 100 days , what has surprised you the most about this office ?
Enchanted you the most from serving in this office ?
Humbled you the most ?
And troubled you the most ?

DON LEMON : Jeff Zeleny , you were in Michigan this week you saw those protests firsthand .
They have since sprung up all over the place even against GOP Governors .
Are these organic protests ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ZELENY : Don there 's no question these are not organic protests .
Most protests on both sides are n't organic .
They start with the group they start with some type of essential .
But in these cases , in the Michigan case which really got so much attention there in Lansing , Michigan , on Wednesday .
As they began to spread across the country , it was organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition which was essentially an early group that organized the Tea Party movement .
We 're really almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Freedom Fund which is loosely connected with the Divas Family of course the Secretary of Education .
She 's from Michigan a long time Michigan wealthy conservative donor so they say that they just promoted this on Facebook .
They did n't organize it .
But Don the reality is these are not organic protests .
That does n't necessarily take away the anger the real anger .
There 's real anger out there , no question .
As I was you know watching these protesters from afar as far as we could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and as we saw them across the country , yes many of them came because you know they just wanted to protest .
You know they were supporting President Trump .
They were supporting a variety of issues .
Pro-militia Anti-vaccination , pro life other things , but they were also some business owners out there who say , look , the stringent restrictions are hurting businesses .
So yes some of them are actual people just coming because they are frustrated .
Of course everyone is frustrated by this .
But this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across the country is no doubt being organized by a loose connection of groups and is very - of the tea party group like I said from about a decade or so .
We saw them in capitals across the country we will see them again next week here .
So this is not something that is happening organically .
But Don the odd thing is they are protesting in many cases the President 's own policy .
The White House 's own guidelines here .
If you look at the guidelines saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ none of these states are actually ready for this to be opened up .
So that 's what is so odd .
You see someone waving a Trump banner in air as we saw in Lansing , Michigan .
In fact , they are protesting the President 's own policy .
So it would take the President himself to shut this down of course he has no interest in doing so Don .

CNN’s Senior White House Correspondent Jeff Zeleny really wants you to know that protests about reopening the government are “not organic.” Zeleny described them this way three times on Sunday night, telling Don Lemon, “there's no question these are not organic protests..”

President Trump said he was considering halting imports of crude oil from Saudi Arabia as his administration grapples with collapsing prices that could cripple the domestic industry .
American oil prices descended into negative territory on Monday , propelled by plummeting demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic .
As a result , some Republican lawmakers have called on Trump to use his executive powers to halt Saudi shipments .
`` Well , I 'll look at it , '' he said when asked about the requests during his regular briefing on the coronavirus crisis .
`` I heard just as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We certainly have plenty of oil , so I ’ ll take a look at it . ''
U.S. crude oil futures ended the day at almost - $ 38 , which means traders are effectively paying to get rid of their stocks .

“ The big Oil Deal with OPEC Plus is done , ” he tweeted .
“ This will save hundreds of thousands of energy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I would like to thank and congratulate President Putin of Russia and King Salman of Saudi Arabia , '' he continued in the tweet .
`` I just spoke to them from the Oval Office .
Great deal for all !

Trump , who has previously talked up the benefits of low oil prices for American drivers , said OPEC producers and others had agreed to reduce output by 15 million barrels per day .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a car anywhere in the world , essentially , ” he said .
“ Factories are closed , businesses are closed .
American companies could be among the hardest hit , particularly shale producers , who need a higher price to make their business profitable .

“ Based on the record low price of oil that you ’ ve been seeing … We ’ re filling up our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ re looking at putting as much as 75 billion barrels into the reserves , themselves , ” he said .
“ That would top it out.

thelibertydaily--2020-04-21--Move to Take Winter Olympics Away From the Chi-Coms Builds Momentum in Conservative Circles

A call to take the upcoming Winter Olympic games from China as a penalty for purportedly failing to sufficiently notify the world about a coronavirus outbreak is gaining steam in conservative circles .
Among the first to propose the idea was Hugh Hewitt , a conservative thought leader and syndicated radio talk show host .
Hewitt addressed the issue Friday on his radio show with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo .
“ They ’ ve lied about some big things , ” Hewitt said about leaders of the Chinese Communist Party .
“ I don ’ t know that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Olympic games if they told us it was safe to do it .
Do you think the Olympic games scheduled for Beijing in 2022 ought to be moved ?
” Pompeo deferred , saying he ’ s focused on immediate issues related to the virus and that the Trump administration will “ have to take a look at that.
” However , he argued that the Communist Party has in just the past few years failed to live up to several big responsibilities and promises — including no arms to South Pacific islands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a situation that Pompeo called a “ humanitarian catastrophe.
” Countries worldwide are raising concerns about whether China provided accurate and timely information about the virus , which the country says was first detected in late 2019 and traced to a wildlife market in the province of Wuhan .
Additional concerns include whether the World Health Organization also provided inaccurate and tardy information , in an attempt to perhaps help China .
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich , another leading conservative voice , on Monday advanced Hewitt ’ s idea , which he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games be held in Torino , Italy — among the regions hardest hit by the virus and site of the 2006 Olympic Winter games .
“ That would be the kind of gesture that would really begin to communicate that the world is fed up with the way the dictatorship operates , ” Gingrich said on the Fox News Channel ’ s morning “ Fox & Friends ” show .
He also cited research from the conservative-leaning Hudson Institute and the University of Southhampton , in England , suggesting that China ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of thousands of lives .
“ The Chinese Communist Party deliberately lied and got its puppet , the World Health Organization , to deliberately lie , ” Gingrich , who was in Rome on Monday , said .

Among the first to propose the idea was Hugh Hewitt, a conservative thought leader and syndicated radio talk show host.
Hewitt addressed the issue Friday on his radio show with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“They’ve lied about some big things,” Hewitt said about leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. “I don’t know that I would trust them to put on the Olympic games if they told us it was safe to do it. Do you think the Olympic games scheduled for Beijing in 2022 ought to be moved?”
Pompeo deferred, saying he’s focused on immediate issues related to the virus and that the Trump administration will “have to take a look at that.”
However, he argued that the Communist Party has in just the past few years failed to live up to several big responsibilities and promises — including no arms to South Pacific islands and improving human rights in China, a situation that Pompeo called a “humanitarian catastrophe.”
Countries worldwide are raising concerns about whether China provided accurate and timely information about the virus, which the country says was first detected in late 2019 and traced to a wildlife market in the province of Wuhan.
Additional concerns include whether the World Health Organization also provided inaccurate and tardy information, in an attempt to perhaps help China.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, another leading conservative voice, on Monday advanced Hewitt’s idea, which he called “brilliant.” Gingrich suggested the games be held in Torino, Italy — among the regions hardest hit by the virus and site of the 2006 Olympic Winter games.
“That would be the kind of gesture that would really begin to communicate that the world is fed up with the way the dictatorship operates,” Gingrich said on the Fox News Channel’s morning “Fox & Friends” show.
He also cited research from the conservative-leaning Hudson Institute and the University of Southhampton, in England, suggesting that China’s response to the virus perhaps cost tens of thousands of lives.
“The Chinese Communist Party deliberately lied and got its puppet, the World Health Organization, to deliberately lie,” Gingrich, who was in Rome on Monday, said.

President Trump is extending the closure of the United States’ northern and southern borders to migration and non-essential travel, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Monday.
A month ago, Trump administration officials announced that the U.S. would be closing off its southern and northern borders for all non-essential travel to stop the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.
For an additional 30 days, the Trump administration will keep the closures in place. Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf said in a statement:
In close collaboration, the US, Mexico, and Canada have each agreed to extend restrictions on non-essential travel across their shared borders for 30 additional days. As President Trump stated last week, border control, travel restrictions and other limitations remain critical to slowing the spread and allowing the phased opening of the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) order has allowed the U.S. to suspend entry at its land borders to foreign nationals who have no proper travel documentation, cannot verify their identity, or have no medical documentation. These foreign nationals are being immediately deported.
Earlier this month, federal immigration officials revealed that the CDC order gave Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents the ability to swiftly deport nearly 400 migrant children in a couple of weeks.
Federal immigration officials, as of April 7, have deported nearly 7,000 total migrants to Mexico since March 20 when the CDC order took effect, according to sources who spoke to Reuters.
Data from Guatemalan officials have shown how critical quick deportations are to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. On deportation flights, Guatemalan officials have said that about 50 to 75 percent of all migrants deported from the U.S. to Guatemala have tested positive for coronavirus.
For more than a month, leading voices in conservative circles have pleaded with the Trump administration to issue a pause on immigration — a plan that is supported by nearly 80 percent of American adults and which has historical precedent dating back to the Great Depression.
Such a pause to immigration would come after four decades of the U.S. admitting 525,000 to 1.8 million legal immigrants annually. The U.S., at current legal immigration levels, admits more legal immigrants than any other country in the world and has done so for more than two decades.

The Knives Out and Halloween actress announced via Twitter that she had been named the “proud” “spokesperson” for the baby-killing organization’s “Telehealth” program (‘Knives Out for the Unborn” would be a catchy name for it). In a video posted to the platform on April 17, Curtis explained how women seeking “reproductive health” guidance without access to a clinic could “log on” to a designated Planned Parenthood site for a “virtual meeting” with abortion doctors.
“Hi there! It’s Jamie Lee Curtis,” the actress began, giving viewers a warm greeting from quarantine in her home. “I am here today on behalf of Planned Parenthood to tell you about telehealth. It’s their way of helping you through this crisis.” And isn’t that something? PP would just love to add to the pandemic’s death count.

Though the left has been adamant that abortions during the quarantine are at the height of necessity. One odious talking point in particular came from Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) who claimed that abortions “are life-sustaining,” and refused suspending abortion procedures. This resulted in the horrible irony that the pool of medical supplies for necessary procedures during a pandemic would go to saving coronavirus victims and killing unborn babies.
Back to Jamie Lee Curtis. This isn’t her first Planned Parenthood rodeo. The actress participated in a tele-thon-style Facebook Live event to benefit Planned Parenthood and the ACLU back in 2017, along with other famous faces like Jane Fonda, Judd Apatow, Patricia Arquette and Tim Robbins. Though this celebrity-sponsored telehealth thing, man, this sounds like the future. Maybe in 10 years, we’ll have Daniel Craig guiding us through DIY euthanasia at home.
UPDATE: Liberal news outlet AFP ran a false factcheck on this article on May 15, 2020.
It contended that the headline was false because Jamie Lee Curtis did not introduce a Planned Parenthood service that arranges for women to have at-home abortions or encourage women to use it. But that’s exactly what Planned Parenthood’s new program does. Planned Parenthood announced its plan to offer telehealth medical services in all 50 states by the end of April. Telehealth means appointments can be done via online video conference rather than in-person. CBS News has confirmed that drug-induced abortions are part of the expansion, where possible. See https://twitter.com/byKateSmith/status/1250432571751534594 from CBS News reporter Kate Smith, who posted on April 15th confirming abortion is a part of the service. Further, an article in Time magazine specifically describes a woman using the Planned Parenthood program to arrange an abortion: In the past, Planned Parenthood affiliates in about half the states offered ways to get birth control through an app, and some offered UTI treatment virtually. But the new telehealth app means that patients will also be able to access services including testing and treatment for sexually-transmitted infections (STIs), HIV testing and prevention, emergency contraception, hormone therapy, vasectomy counseling, abortion counseling, and—like the first responder—prescriptions for abortion pills . Planned Parenthood customers can make these arrangements at home, drive to pick up the pills, and then complete the abortion process at home, as our headline indicated. AFP contended the article is false because “at no point in the video does the actress mention abortion or tell women to “kill their babies” at home.” We never used the term kill their babies in quotes nor contended that is a direct quotation from Curtis. And, as shown, abortion is clearly available via the telehealth program and is already being used for that purpose. This is a summary of what Curtis did – she introduced a new Planned Parenthood service that will facilitate killing babies in at home abortions and she is clearly showing the program and encouraging women to use it. Meanwhile, AFP’s factcheck admits that the video and service promote abortions: There is a link at the bottom of the video to the website of the Pasadena & San Gabriel Valley division of Planned Parenthood. The clinic is “currently only accepting urgent visits” for issues including sexually transmitted infection treatment, emergency contraception, and abortion. “Some health centers also offer counseling and follow-up for abortion services through Telehealth,” she said. This is another example of liberal factcheckers erroneously targeting pro-life content.

Mahone admitted that the term “surgical abortion” has been widely used by doctors and even abortion activists for many years. However, she argued that the change to “procedural abortion” is necessary for their cause.
“For pregnancies in the first trimester, which is when the vast majority of abortions occur, this involves a procedure called vacuum aspiration,” she wrote. “The word ‘surgical’ in this instance is misleading—the procedure doesn’t typically require cutting or suturing of any kind.
