If your first thought when reading that headline is “Hale No”, Mazel Tov! You are a sentient thinking human being. Unfortunately, you are part of a minority population. Not the good intersectional kind that is useful. Pfft. You are not only not useful, but you are also contrary. You will be tagged as the problem for being non-compliant when they bring back Covid 19 restrictions in time for the 2024 Presidential Election. They are trying.
Not only are they going to tell you that the draconian Covid 19 restrictions from 2020, 21 and part of 22 are necessary. Electing Donald Trump will bring back the Covid deaths. Kamala Harris will institute draconian measures and save everyone. It’s a bushel basket of putrid peach pits, but it’s a go to move for The Left. For instance:
OH NOES, OHIO
The number of new COVID-19 cases in Ohio took a large leap this week, from 8,352 last week to 10,418 this week, the state reported Thursday.
This week saw the weekly case number climb over the 10,000-mark for the first time since January. It also was the 13th straight week that the case number has increased, continuing an upward swing that began in early June.
At the same time last year, the state reported just over 7,000 cases.
TAKING OFF IN TEXAS
COVID-19 cases are increasing in Texas
COVID-19 variants are still present in Texas and throughout the U.S.
According to newly released data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), five Southern and Southwestern states—Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas—are experiencing the highest infection rates, with nearly 1 in 4 COVID tests returning positive.

WHICH LEADS TO
Summer COVID surge shows we may have to return to 2020 pandemic measures
As summer 2024 draws to a close, the U.S. finds itself once again grappling with a surge in COVID-19 infections.
This wave has taken many people by surprise, particularly as the country has largely consigned the pandemic to the past. While public life has pretty much returned to pre-pandemic norms — something almost none of us would have believed in the summer of 2020 — the virus itself has not.
Covid 19 like the Common Cold, also a coronavirus will always be with us. Most of us believed that life would go back to pre-pandemic norms long before it did. It wasn’t much of a problem for me in Knox County, Tennesse, Kane is my Mayor. But, most places were not like us. Still, they told us it would always be around:
“I don’t really see any path by which this virus isn’t with us forever and it just becomes an endemic virus, like cold viruses and flu viruses,” John Patton, PhD, professor of biology and Blatt Chair of Virology at Indiana University, tells Verywell. “It will just be with us, and we will have to control it and mitigate worse symptoms.”
SARS-CoV-2 will more than likely become endemic if reinfection becomes the norm and a highly effective vaccine isn’t adapted worldwide, according to a journal article published in Science Magazine.
But this lawyer writing in The Hill is thirsty for lockdowns. More:
The federal government’s response to the latest surge has been tepid at best. After years of intense focus on COVID-19, there is a palpable desire in Washington to move on. This has resulted in a fragmented approach, with responsibility for managing the current wave largely devolving to state and local governments. While some have reinstated certain precautions, others have continued with business as usual, leading to inconsistent messaging and outcomes.
snip-
And we can’t underestimate how public fatigue with COVID-19 precautions will grow, making it more difficult to reimpose restrictions or encourage preventive behaviors. This resistance could be particularly strong in regions that have experienced relatively low case numbers or where political leaders have downplayed the severity of the virus. Overcoming this fatigue will require clear and consistent communication from public health officials, as well as community-level engagement to reinforce the importance of ongoing vigilance.
REMEMBER THIS PACK OF LIES
Remember that 94% of that 200,000 had other comorbidities. Kamala is just as much a totalitarian as Joe Biden. Vote Trump. Remember how they isolated everyone. The very young and very old paid the price. Don’t let them even try again.

Cameron says: To quote Michael Z. Williamson: “Stop shitting yourself over the common cold.”
I guess they didn’t have any luck in making monkeypox or West Nile Virus the It Girl for the upcoming election.
I think it’s probable that more monkeypox virus hitched a ride back from the convention and its side events than did coronavirus.
John C. says: According to the CDC’s table of COVID-related deaths from the beginning of their keeping track, there have been 1,197,212 COVID-related U.S. deaths as of the time of this writing. 291,468 happened before Trump left office; the remaining 905,744, or 75.7%, died on Biden’s watch. Granted, he has been in office longer than the 55 weeks that the CDC tracked during Trump’s term, but in the first 55 weeks of Biden’s term there were 501,577 COVID-related deaths, 1.7 times as many as under Trump. So, of course, it’s all on Trump.
Cameron says: Couldn’t help but notice that the death counter CNN was running about deaths from Chinese Lung AIDS went away the instant Joe Biden was sworn in. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Edward Lunny says: How many of those were murdered by the clot shot ? How many died because they were refused treatment because their symptoms weren’t severe enough ? And, how many of those recorded Chinese lung rot deaths had nothing to do with the Chinese lung rot ?
Rampant medical – and political – malpractice killed the majority of those who actually died from the infection. Refusal to use treatments for non-critical cases that were shown to work. Radical last-ditch procedures (but economically lucrative) without any other (but unprofitable) symptomatic treatments. Placing contagious patients into highly vulnerable populations.
Edward Lunny says: Nope. Didn’t do this shit the last time. I won’t be doing again or ever. These turd creatures have no credibility. Should they try this rubbish again, there will be push back and it will not be polite.
Blackwing1 says: Having had the original CV-19 and then the 2nd “variant” I can safely say that I’m not even slightly worried about catching it a third time. The first time was a high fever and general malaise (thanks, Jimmy C) that lasted a few days. The second time it was barely noticeable except for losing the sense of smell and taste for 3 days. But several months following that I caught the influenza (flu) bug that was making its winter rounds of our TinyTown, and that was truly horrific. Fever peaked at 104°F and the aching joints felt like they were going to explode; it lasted about 9 days. I’d much rather have some new, and apparently much weaker, version of the CV-19 bug than a variant of that flu.
And I’ll guaran-frickin’-tee you that I’ve still probably got CV-19 antibodies floating around in my system, so even though I’m not sick and not symptomatic, according to the authoritarian whack-jobs, I’d be yet another “case” if somebody were to give me a blood test. Ain’t a-gonna happen.
What a crock.
