Are Recent Reports of COVID Surges an Attempt to Suppress In-Person Voting?
By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.

Back in March, the COVID mantra was, “15 days to slow the spread”, meaning flattening the curve. The purpose was to avoid overwhelming the medical system as no one really knew what we were up against with the Wuhan virus.

This allowed time for the system to adapt and recalibrate to this new illness. As the virus peaked in mid-April, the subsequent months should have been the normal course of a viral pandemic, some getting sick to varying degrees, others unfortunately dying, but eventually reaching herd immunity, itself a longstanding concept -- suddenly controversial.

This has been the course of past flu seasons and other viral pandemics, but none lead to shutting down economies all over the world, causing incalculable financial and social devastation to cities, states, countries, and individuals. Just when we see a light at the end of the tunnel there is a reported surge in cases, often timed to political events.

The first surge was in mid-summer, as businesses were opening and the presidential campaigns began in earnest with nominating conventions. President Trump’s rallies energized his base and are a unique feature to his campaign, something Sleepy Joe Biden could in no way replicate. Conveniently the surge put a damper on Trump rallies.

The second surge is now, just weeks before the 2020 presidential election. The Atlantic, one of many left-wing mouthpieces for the Democrat party, framed it politically, “The Coronavirus surge that will define the next four years.” How exactly does a viral illness define a future presidential term? Easily, if this has never been about the virus but instead about the election.

Is that graphic meant to answer the age-old question: 

1. Is the pope Catholic?, 2. Does a bear $ in the woods?, 3.  Is a bear (any bear) more Catholic than the pope?, or 4.  Then where does a bear $ and what is he wearing in the process?   

Inquiring minds want to know.

If that is the strategy, its pretty puzzling, since the left is peddling all this chicken little shit.

It's half of this exclamation:

"Is the bear Catholic?  Does the Pope poop in the woods?"

I think the strategy is to say that covid eliminated the normal election process, so another election is needed.

Dems never play fair and hate the way our laws work.
