Viruses don’t go away.

I can’t think of one virus or bacteria that simply go away without a vaccine. The exception is Bush’s SARS response. “W” did make it go away. He was brilliant in plotting to end SARS before it ever got started. 

There was not one death from SARS in the USA under Bush. Only 115 cases. Bush wrote the quarantine orders for Americans himself.

The opening and closing of travel bans for cities and counties during the SARS outbreak was determined by the WHO. 

“Double speak” Trump

Even almost immune is not immune. Children need to stay home until it is safe. I would like Trump to say which one of his grandchildren are okay to catch SARS-CoV-2. I want to know which of his grandchild is okay to contract the maiming virus? That is what he is telling the country when he disregards the well being of all children in this country. Which ones, Mr. President are okay to get sick?

Come to think of it some may have already been exposed as Ivanka tested positive. If that is the case then there is sincerely unfortunate circumstances within the president’s family due to COVID-19. 

There is no police protocol for causing the death of a person under arrest.

There is nothing in the newly released George Floyd videos of the police body-cams that changes the fact he was murdered by police. As a matter of fact, it provides even more insight into the poor police work of four officers.

There is absolutely no justification for his death. He was in custody and he died.

Where were the tasers to assist in putting him in the police car? Where was a taser when he fell to the ground? The legal reasons for his death do not exist.

There were violations of the Geneva Conventions in Portland, Oregon.

I don't want to hear complaints about the dates of the regulations. They are current and quite frankly there is no difference in the human body since 1864 that would require changes to modern-day human beings.


Article 2 of the 1864 Geneva Convention provides:

Hospital and ambulance personnel, including the quarter-master’s staff, the medical, administrative and transport services … shall have the benefit of the same neutrality [as military hospitals and ambulances] when on duty, and while there remain any wounded to be brought in or assisted.

Geneva Convention (1906)

Article 9 of the 1906 Geneva Convention provides:

The personnel charged exclusively with the removal, transportation, and treatment of the sick and wounded, as well as with the administration of sanitary formations and establishments … shall be respected and protected under all circumstances. If they fall into the hands of the enemy they shall not be considered as prisoners of war...

A team of experts with Physicians for Human Rights, (click here) a New York-based group that documents rights violations, spent seven days in Portland investigating the use of crowd control weapons against protesters and law enforcement violence directed at volunteer medical staff.

That team released its findings Tuesday ahead of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing in Washington, D.C.

“PHR has concluded that the response by federal agents that it documented in Portland was disproportionate, excessive, and indiscriminate, and deployed in ways that caused severe injury to innocent civilians, including medics,” the report states.

Dr. Michele Heisler, PHR’s medical director, led the team visiting Portland. Heisler said they didn’t see any official EMTs or paramedics at the protests and that medical care was left to volunteers and civil society.

The report cites numerous instances where law enforcement deliberately targeted volunteer medics and their supplies.

“There was the case of OHSU, their tent was destroyed,” Heisler said. “There was one day where the police actually took their supplies.”...                            

Large numbers of mail-in/absentee ballots have been counted before.

August 4, 2020

...The 1.59 million absentee ballots (click here) received as of Tuesday morning significantly outstrips the roughly 484,000 absentee ballots received in the August 2016 primary and surpasses the record 1.27 million absentee ballots received in the November 2016 presidential election

Donald John Trump took the presidency in 2016. There are more mail-in/absentee ballots this election, however, it is not an astronomical difference. In 2020 there are 320,000 more ballots compared to 2016. All this is very easy to accommodate. There should be no problem in counting ballots in the presidential election.

The November 2016 presidential election set a record, too. All the ballots were counted and became a record popular vote then, too. Election results are forthcoming and in the Republican primary, the winner is already known and is Peter Meijer.

There were no problems in 2016 and there are no problems in 2020.

"By all accounts, today’s elections were a great success," Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said after the close of polls Tuesday. "All of these (voting) options — making sure they’re available and voters are aware of them — are key to our success in November and were key to our success today.”...
