Germ Warfare
The Invisible Enemy attacked in 2020, about a century after the Spanish Influenza, what the President called Chinavirus and wags in the Administration labeled Kung Flu. It spread across the world in no time flat through respiratory transmission with epidemiologists cautioning that it could kill millions before we could stop it. One by one countries closed off their cities, shut down business as usual, quarantined their citizens, demanded people stay home except for essential services like groceries, pharmaceuticals, booze and cannabis. Fingerpointing became a new national pastime now that sports were banned and concerts canceled.
General Trump declared war. On the virus. On the immigrants. On Democratic Governors. On reporters who ask uncomfortable questions during his daily war briefings. On the states whose governors went into lockdown and won’t reopen businesses. On the World Health Organization. On China. On the Democrats who want stimulus dollars to go to testing in the states. On the Fake Press. On … well, pretty much the same enemies he’s been fighting since taking office and long before. The man is a trench fighter, a take-no-prisoner warrior. If war is Hell, he’s our Satan.
The germs, however, seem to be winning. Bodies are piling up in makeshift morgues, refrigerated cars and storage lockers. Testing is random and haphazard. The General informs us he’s completely in charge … but the Governors are the ones who should do battle. Respirators, masks, ventilators — they belong to the federal government. States should buy their own arms. When they do, their supplies are confiscated by the federal government. To be distributed at some future date. It’s all very confusing, no doubt the fake media’s attempt to aid and abet the virus.
Some citizens are beginning to chafe over the quarantine. They say their freedom to assemble, their freedom of speech, their freedom of religion is being sacrificed to the virus. They want to go fishing. They want to buy a gun. They want to go to church. They want to picnic on the beach. They think the virus is a hoax and they’re sick of being held hostage. The General tells them to listen to his experts but tweets that they should Liberate themselves. It’s all very confusing, no doubt the fake news.
His Attorney General warns that states that do not free their citizens from their chains and shackles in a timely fashion will be dealt with by the federal government. The federal government, under General Trump, has said the states must handle this pandemic themselves. The federal government isn’t going to stand on street corners conducting covid-19 tests, he explained. It’s all very confusing, no doubt Chinese misinformation.
From my own bunker it’s hard to tell who’s winning. It’s easier to tell who’s losing. For certain it’s all very confusing. Thank god for the daily briefings from the General to clear yesterday’s muddle up.

The General, Skeeter, does deserve all the credit. However, as in other wars there are the unsung heroes who helped make the US government COVID-19 response possible.
Trump personally picked Health & Human Services Secretary Azar, who personally choose Brian Harrison to lead the assault. His qualifications? He bred Labradoddles for six years before taking charge:
Brian Harrison, who is chief of staff at the HHS, was made a key manager on the task force led by Azar in January 2020. “Everyone had to report up through him,” one unnamed HHS official told Reuters.

Even Trump loyalists and nepotists at the White House found his lack of experience… disconcerting:
HHS Azar tapped a trusted aide with minimal public health experience to lead the agency’s day-to-day response to COVID-19. The aide, Brian Harrison, had joined the department after running a dog-breeding business for six years. Five sources say some officials in the White House derisively called him “the dog breeder.”

When you’re in a war with an invisible enemy, you don’t necessarily want highly visible, highly qualified personnel. What you might want is cannon fodder. Yes men will do nicely. For all we know labradoodles may actually be a preventative. Now that some of the other cures haven’t panned out, time to hitch your hopes to another possibility. Labradoodle fur! Der Fuhrer may have hunched his way onto something big. Bigger than anything we’ve seen before. Personally I think Stephen Miller might kill viruses on contact. Another small lead but Big Expectations.
