WHAT’S BEEN BAFFLING ?
Not a damn thing.
In fact, it’s all been quite predictable – if you’ve been paying attention.
Orange Man Bad is the real virus. COVID19 is just the latest weapon in the
attempt by the DEMOCRAT FearPorn propagandists to overthrow POTUS, but this too shall fail.
Has there been a vaccine discovered yet that has eradicated the 1918 flu or any other flu that has killed millions – no ?
Same thinking applies to COVID19. Herd immunity is the only true cure for every society around the planet,
Let’s face that fact and get it over and done with so we can get back to work and on with our lives.
The business of America is business, so let’s return to business without further and unnecessary delay.

I don’t trust the media, they are the front for the DNC and I have come to believe they are the enemy of the people. After watching the White House task force briefings everyday it was quite obvious that those asking the questions, some of which were hostile are not journalists. A journalist gathers information, is supposed to be the public’s watchdog and to report truthfully regardless of their political persuasion. A perfect example is the past 3 years with their coverage of the President and his Administration. There is an awakening happening, November 3 will prove my point.

None of the first three options on this poll baffle me, as they just reflect the behavior I expected of self-serving, pandering Democrats, and their self-righteous media lapdogs.
What would really baffle me is if they did something truly rational during this time of adversity.

The world is confronted with two pandemics. The flu “pandemic” is the unseen virus that arrived from Communist China as a subversive gift to the world. The other pandemic is man-made. It is a result of government overreach. It is the closure of schools, churches, businesses and social venues. It’s destruction far exceeds the flu pandemic. It is suicide, hopelessness, destruction of livelihoods, the destruction of life savings and retirement investments. It is fear and the associated evils that fear generates. It is an explosion of domestic abuse, child abuse, alcoholism and drug abuse. It is the destruction of normalcy as our Constitutional rights have been trampled by tyrants in government. Politicians and the media are already congratulating themselves for saving us. From what evil have they saved us?

This virus was a payback to the US from China because they were forced into a fair trade deal with The US, they have been screwing our country out of billions for 20 to 30 years , our president is the only one who stood up to them and made them sign a fair trade deal. With that said all these DemRats saw an opportunity to not only bring down capitalism and move to Socialism but try to get that senile womanizer in office , who would give everything back to China that this president worked so hard for. It’s time to hold politicians accountable and give jail time where it’s due.

Open boarders and letting convicted criminals out of prison, along with sanctuary cities, trashing ICE, and corruption in politics, etc, etc, etc. This ALL needs to stop. The Ukrane issue with Biden and his son is enough to put him in prison, Along with Pelosi, Clinton, Shumer, AOC, et al And add in the left wing media, who have lost their way

What was most disheartening and baffling was the capitulation of the Majority of Americans that went along with the “Shelter in Place” orders and the massive assault on Personal Freedoms. This is truly a troubling sign that so many would give up so much for what was perceived as being safe.
I think this Quote from Benjamin Franklin says it best, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

The most puzzling aspect of the entire “pandemic” is the inability to get reliable information. The Government paid medical bureaucrats surrounding the President are pushing fear and more quarantine. The CDC has lost all semblance o f credibility and the WHO is completely unbelievable due to the link to China. The “experts” outside of the Government are anti-vaxers who have an agenda of their own. The average citizen has no reliable source. We cannot trust the Government, nor can we trust the medical community because funds are tied to inflating the cases of covid 19.

The shutdown is/was worse than the Wuhan Corona Virus. Our government created more problems than it solved; it should have had an education campaign to emphasize hand washing and using a paper towel to grasp door knobs before eating a meal, in public and at home; keeping hands away from the face; avoid eating food with your hands; avoid hugging and handshaking; keep children away from old folks like me; recommend businesses reserve one or two days a week for seniors citizens and immunocompromised (and enforce the rule if instituted). This would have allowed the young population to be exposed to the disease and develop immunity, reducing the risk to the vulnerable population. Keep in perspective that 40,000 people and many times more are seriously injured in automobile accidents in one year and criminals kill even far more!

The stupidity of the “baby-steps” re-opening of our economy is only matched by the absurdity of destroying it over this virus in the first place.
History is already proving how unnecessary this approach by inept bureaucrats, power-hungry Leftists and consistently-wrong academics has been. President Trump had little choice but to take the advice of the latter, whom he assumed knew best about an issue in their wheelhouse, not his. Now every CYA statement and action taken by all of them continues to be based on unfalsifiable statements of what would have happened had American citizens not been grossly misled into giving up their Constitutional rights and the unprecedented prosperity gained after only 3 years of electing Donald Trump and not electing another Socialist!Marxist!

What baffles me is the amount of conflicting information from so-called experts. Wear a mask, don’t wear a mask, same with gloves. Doctors report success with chloroquine phosphate, a decades-old antimalarial drugs to treat patients. Expert health authorities however, have NOT certified Chloroquine as a cure for coronavirus. Trump uses common sense and gives us better info then the “scientist’s” and gets blasted by the libs and their minion media. If we all use common sense, this virus can be kept to a minimum until a vaccine is developed.

It’s been a combination of all the three choices – you can not narrow the attempt to return to normal, as just one as there are bits and pieces of all of them that are linked together to try to stall our recovery in one way or the other.

With contagion and mortality rates not greater than the seasonal flu, the whole shutdown business does not make sense. The Hong Kong flu of 1968 through 1969 was worse with no shutdown.
