Anti-religious

The anti-religious nature of the left was exposed by then Senator Obama during his 2008 campaign when he referred to many in middle America as “bitter clingers.” In those days it was directed at people who were Christian, who believed in Jesus Christ and the Bible. During his Presidency President Obama occasionally spoke of “the right to worship” but consistently moved against the free exercise of religion by Christians as defined in our Bill of Rights.

Perhaps the most glaring examples of this were the efforts by the Obama administration to force medical personnel to participate in the murdering of unborn children against their conscience. After the passage of Obamacare the Obama DOJ took several organizations to court to force them to fund coverage for such atrocities.

Once again, the bigotry of the Democrats towards people who believe in Jesus Christ raised its ugly head last week. PDJT has tasked VP Mike Pence to lead a task force on combatting the coronavirus (COVID-19) in this country. Pence held a meeting in the situation room at the White House that was reported to be quite productive. A picture emerged from the meeting showing the members of the task force with their heads bowed in prayer asking for God’s help at the start of the meeting.

Coronavirus Update

The New England Journal of Medicine has published an editorial on Friday updating information about COVID-19. In their editorial the authors point out that the virus is structurally similar to the one that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003.

While the reported mortality rate has been between 2% and 3%, the facts emerging suggest that a significant number of people may contract the illness without major symptoms. Certainly in some it may present itself as little more than a mild case of the sniffles. The underlying data suggest that the symptoms vary, and fewer than one in six of the cases reported were “severe.”

So, many cases of the illness may go unreported. It may turn out that this is little more than a severe case of seasonal influenza. Those with weak immune systems may be particularly at risk of serious illness. However, most cases will not be severe.

Coronavirus AKA COVID-19

The coronavirus (COVID-19) that originated in Wuhan, China, is affecting the lives of literally billions of people around the world. Speculation about its origins and its potential to sicken and kill people has been rampant. Some of this has been fueled by China’s lack of transparency about how bad it was/is in China. And there still exists a credibility problem with stats coming out of China.

China seems to be an incubator for these types of epidemics. From the Spanish Flu of 1918-19 to the SARS outbreak some years back, the last hundred years has seen a series of viruses originate in China with the potential to be pandemics.

Just how bad is this particular outbreak? Where did it actually originate? What are the mortality rates? Just as smallpox decimated the Native American population because of a lack of resistance to it, does this virus have a similar potential with different genetic populations around the world? Once a person recovers, is re-infection possible?
