"....living with that virus being the Sword of Damocles over all our heads threatening to rear its ugly head every time we dare come close to anyone."
If it wasn't a virus, it would be a whole lot of other things. It always has been. This is not about a virus, it's about power and control. This virus was not an accident. ""You never let a serious crisis go to waste," - Rahm Emanuel. Replacing government money for school lunches and breakfasts, the destruction of social security and medical care, cutting off illegals by Trump when the biggest illegals deporting president ever was Obama, just anything to do that holding over the head. Anything to scare (pander) up votes. We will live under the virus until it is no longer useful. Then it will be replaced by something else. May be even one of the already used. They need the ACA, whether it is affordable of not.
And the credit for saving the country will be claimed by whatever socialist president is in power. It doesn't make any difference that all the research and development for the upcoming vaccine in December came during the Trump administration. Biden and Harris are already blowing smoke about it when all they did when Trump was talking was bad mouth it....too late, not enough, unable to administer it.....
And if you think it hasn't happened before, Obama took credit for getting Bin Laden. That's a crock! Information from Sheik Mohammad and a currier named Hasan Ghul captured in Iraq in 2002 provided the information to triangulate his location. And Obama violated the Geneva Convention and the UN by sending in an assassination team to kill an unarmed enemy. He should have been treated like Saddam and hung for his crimes so he doesn't get his virgins and become a legend.
