[Peace-discuss] The establishment is making choices consistent with trying to give you COVID-19

[J.B. Nicholson]

Most US states have told people to stay at home (as the establishment-friendly New 
York Times put it in 
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-stay-at-home-order.html

> In a matter of weeks, millions of Americans have been asked to do what would have
> been unthinkable only a few months ago: Don’t go to work, don’t go to school,
> don’t leave the house at all, unless you have to.
> 
> The directives to keep people at home, which began in California in mid-March,
> have quickly swept the nation. Today, a vast majority of states, the Navajo Nation
> and many cities and counties have instructed residents to stay at home in a
> desperate race to stunt the spread of the coronavirus.

> This means at least 316 million people in at least 42 states, three counties, nine

Insufficiently critical (generously labeled "schizophrenic" by Jimmy Dore around 16 
minutes into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qg-uxr9ARs ) media outlet Democracy Now 
interviewed Bishop Clifton Daniel about still holding religious services:

> AMY GOODMAN: And what is your message to fellow clergy who are insisting on
> keeping their houses of worship open?
> 
> BISHOP CLIFTON DANIEL: I disagree with you completely. I think you’re making a bad
> decision and a wrong decision, that you’re serving some need other than the needs
> of the people.

And before he became such a high-profile COVID-19 victim, British Prime Minister 
Boris Johnson previously boasted:

> Prime Minister Boris Johnson: I am shaking hands continuously. I was at a — I was
> at a hospital the other night where I think there were a few — there were actually
> a few coronavirus patients. And I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to
> know, and I continue to shake hands.
According to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BheoJjPFDxg PM Johnson is now on a CPAP 
machine and now the UK government admits Johnson is in intensive care. 5 hours prior 
to admitting that the UK government said that Johnson on a ventilator was "Russian 
disinformation" per George Galloway in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqhZsGgeUsw 
and

and https://archive.md/2oeyB:

> The UK government has accused Russia of spreading "disinformation" after the
> country's state media reported that Prime Minister Boris Johnson was being treated
> on a ventilator for the coronavirus.
> 
> Johnson was admitted to hospital on Sunday after experiencing "persistent

> 
> His spokesman confirmed on Monday that the prime minister was admitted to St
> Thomas Hospital in London after continuing to experience a high temperature and a

> 
> However, he described Russian state media reports that he is on a ventilator for

> "That is disinformation," his spokesman said.

> "Our specialist government units have seen a rise in false reports since the

Given that backdrop, what's the good word from the Democratic Party?

The DNC corporation continues its standards bearer selection event across the 
country, now with backing from the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Presumptive DNC nominee Joe Biden recently endorsed voting in the DNC corporation 
event (when it was Florida, Arizona & Illinois' turn).

Now the Wisconsin State Supreme Court has overridden Governor Tony Evers' executive 
order to push the so-called election date to June. A 5-4 vote quashed Evers' 
executive order which attempted to delay the event. So now the event calendar goes 
back to what it was before. And Wisconsin is reducing the number of polling stations 
as well which seems likely to further increase the odds of contracting COVID-19 from 
or giving COVID-19 to someone at the polls. Locally, polling stations are often run 
by retirees -- older people who, we're told, are at high risk for adverse outcomes 
(including death) should they be exposed to COVID-19. For their sake, one hopes 
everyone running the polls in Wisconsin will strike lest they have to do as Hillary 
Clinton suggested and purchase healthcare from the Obamacare "exchanges"(per 
https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/1245735705499836416 which reads "Millions 
of people have lost their employer-tied health care over the last two weeks because 
of the pandemic. It's an easy call: Re-open the health care exchanges.").

Relatedly, 40% of Americans can't afford a $400 emergency 
(https://money.cnn.com/2018/05/22/pf/emergency-expenses-household-finances/index.html). 
So I'm sure HRC will be glad to point you all to sub-$400 Obamacare exchange 
healthcare that will properly address all of your real-world healthcare needs.

Oh yes, and Spain is saying they'll have a universal basic income set up "as soon as 
possible" and plans to make their UBI "remain forever"
