A Response

A Response to our American Pandemic:

I think, if I am correct, federal government cannot just come in and order states what to do - that is unAmerican. They can only hold onto a thinly disguise constitution which conflicts between state rights and federal rights, Conservatives allow more state rights and so they cannot intervene, and the only thing the Feds can do is to stockpile for themselves -exactly what they are doing. taking n95 masks and so we cannot access these that are being manufactured in America.

Americans also believe in competition, and freedom to do so. All states are now competing to show the world which states program is best. So there is no unified responses.

I would urge people not just to blame this administration but to look at their own Americaness deeply. Is it "liberty and the pursue of happiness" that is responsible for our pandemic - and I think it is. American system is inherently unstable and weak and cannot formulate a unified response when something like this happens, Another words, American system is weak and chaotic when it comes to a level extinction event. They do not have a strong central government, but they have a white house pulpit and a voice, and seems only a voice, no action,.

And our frustration is that as a company/enterprise, they have a bottom line - stock market - and selfish interests, instead of altruism and a desire to see others do well. This American competitiveness between states, and between rich and poor, and even between businesses and people - is exactly what will kill us all. Competition at a time of natural disaster is a false premise to maintain a free and open society.

What good would it do, if we stock up on guns and food, should our American society collapse? And it is coming.

Society is collapsing.

Instead of worrying about a "totalitarian" state sch as China, we should look at how an open society kills her residents through irresponsible acts: first to do nothing. and then for those healthcare professionals, they try to kill them by forbidding them to wear protective gears (somethings rip their n95 masks off their faces - and threaten them to fire them),
An "Open Society" has gone "totalitarian" by forbidding people to wear protective gears, and fired whistle blowers in the process. It is bad for business and creates panic,. so they say.
I think American society is oppressive.

If you are poor - you are doomed. In this pandemic, you are destined to die - since poor does not have adequate PPEs and cannot afford them. Homeless will do us all in, they are the reservoir of virus and in the end, they will maintain this virus in human population,. and we have at least 30 millions to 40 millions of the poor, living in cramp spaces, taking public transportation, and of course, not wearing a mask, they will make sure the revenge comes from their bodies.
I think as a frontline HCW - our frustration is about this oppressive system that is both selfish, irresponsible and free,. this is what kills us. The Feds is only a small picture, Feds care about money and the stock market, and medical offices and insurance companies care about money and their selfish interests, and regular Americans who can, stock up on ammunition and guns because they also know - no one will come for them, they have to fend off thugs who will eventually come in to rob them of their vital supplies, Greed and selfishness is the American way, and in this extinction level event, SARS CoV-2 does not distinguish nationalities and political systems, they will kill anyone, and that is final.

Staying alive is the basic human right.

America chooses who gets to stay alive and who dies. This is a practice we used to blame on the "totalitarian states" one such as China, look at them, they are happy and rejoicing that their commies come for them and look at us, "free: Americans hiding and fearful. This is the most disgusting thing I hear, about "Freedom and liberty and the pursue of irresponsible happiness." And of course, we will just keep on going, and kill a few, and when 1/2 millions are dead, and buried and cremated we will hail this pandemic a success, and huge success and we have finally beat the Chinese and because of our free society, we won. Yea, we won, a lot of us died in that process to pay for this freedom. As they say, "freedom is not cheap." In our case, we have to die to pay for these irresponsible freedom seekers, one such, is an anti-mask activist. Remember, his name is Chris Nelson, he is a devout Christian and a Florida resident. Remember to see how this all ends for him. God luck dude.

God Bless America.
