Covid-19 Could Make America Stronger?

This is a great article that paints a silver lining I haven't thought of. Do we really have to imagine a darker future or could we collectively wake up to the ideals that made this country so strong and the envy of the world? I'm hoping for the second option.

Imagine what the world will be like when 2022 arrives. The coronavirus's effects will become so small that they will be lost in the noise of the day, but what will remain of its lessons? First and foremost is that many lives will have been saved.

The hand-washing and sanitation precautions that will be permanently incorporated into American culture will diminish flu deaths in 2020, in 2021, in 2022, and perpetually. Rather than 25,000–70,000 flu deaths annually, the numbers may drop by tens of thousands, even in 2020. The spreading of America's sanitation obsession will impact not only its own population, but that of many nations, in a way that educators and health professional could never accomplish.

This saves lives — lots of lives. Stubborn resistance to the onerous habits of sanitation will be broken down by this one virus's actions on the psyche of people. These changes will pass to future generations, lasting not just a few years, but lifetimes and longer, and each year, more lives will be saved.

But it is not just in the health arena that America will see long-term benefits. It will be in the alteration of business practices, long accepted as they were invisibly implemented. Who knew? Ninety-five percent of antibiotics were manufactured in China, and no one discussed it. Now the vulnerability of America is displayed in front of the people — not the little cliques of "health professionals" and CEOs who fostered it. With the Chinese penchant for lying, adulteration, blackmail, and price-gouging, will such a situation exist in 2022? No, because if it doesn't change rapidly, a lot of CEOs will find themselves unemployed.

China's stealth war against America has been exposed, inadvertently, but it is no longer flying below the radar. The overt threat to cut off shipments of antibiotic medicine and medical supplies, and the delay in shipping that may actually be taking place, has brought the issue to the people of America. To say there is anger over such threats and actions is to understate the consequences. Here is China, willing to send America a virus and then debilitate its supply chains to exacerbate the effects. No longer is this a stealth war. The American people are on to them, and no rebuttal will return the status quo.

If you don't see China as our greatest threat, I don't think you've been awake, it's time we all wake up and decide to take our future back from those who have been stealing it... WITH OUR HELP!!! Wake up America, please wake up.

Another silver lining, President Trump can declare the November elections postponed indefinitely. Don't think so? See what the governors of Louisiana, Georgia, Kentucky and Ohio have done.

THE FOURTH TURNING.......does exactly that.......IF people will pay attention and become
activist we WILL be in a much better place and will be in a stronger place.....eventually. It is
truly a test for this nation and the AMERICAN people who have become complacent.

I would like to share this conversation.

I spoke with my son today and asked him what the kids were doing during this time. He replied, the boys (3) grammar school age, spend the mornings doing school work; read for an hour or more and have lunch. There are no sports on TV, no organized sports (they are a little bummed out because there is no lacrosse) or baseball or other sports, so they ride their bikes with the other kids, play games and spent the last 5 hours building a fort in the woods. Moms had to go and get their kids for dinner (sound familiar).
He said it must have been like this in the 50's with some minor differences. I told him that it wasn't a bad way to grow up.

I hope this kind of thing sticks and people begin to realize what has been missing in their lives. But I fear too many are addicted to all the stuff that doesn't matter and never will.

34 leftist big "thinkers" , yawn, predictable big government BS to save the day.

A democrat governor who knows when not to go too far. Should not that liquor stores are also essential, much like Colorado.

"When Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) issued an executive order Friday to put a statewide shutdown in place, he exempted gun and ammunition stores by labeling them “essential.”

The order, titled “Executive Order in Response to COVID-19 (COVID-19 Executive Order No. 8),” contains various headings, under which are listings of businesses considered “essential” for day-to-day life. Under the heading, “Supplies for Essential Businesses and Operations,” the order makes clear that “firearm and ammunition suppliers and retailers” can remain open, noting that they serve the purposes of “safety and security.”
