Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Joe Biden has called for 100 days where everyone has to wear a mask. But Biden has not clarified whether this mandate will apply to the Obama family and Democrat governors, some of whom have recently behaved like they think all that mask wearing and social distancing which Democrats preach is just for the little people.
Biden to call for 100 days of mask-wearing among first acts amid COVID-19 pandemic
“On the first day I’m inaugurated, I’m going to ask the public for 100 days to mask. Just 100 days to mask – not forever, just 100 days. And I think we’ll see a significant reduction” in the virus, Joe Biden said.
By Alexandra Jaffe
WASHINGTON — Joe Biden said Thursday that he will ask Americans to commit to 100 days of wearing masks as one of his first acts as president, stopping just short of the nationwide mandate he’s pushed before to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The move marks a notable shift from President Donald Trump, whose own skepticism of mask-wearing has contributed to a politicization of the issue. That’s made many people reticent to embrace a practice that public health experts say is one of the easiest ways to manage the pandemic, which has killed more than 275,000 Americans.
The president-elect has frequently emphasized mask-wearing as a “patriotic duty” and during the campaign floated the idea of instituting a nationwide mask mandate, which he later acknowledged would be beyond the ability of the president to enforce.

To be fair to the Obamas, everyone has to endure moments when their kids misbehave. Kids will be kids. Some children of politicians do far worse things than little Sasha Obama’s social distancing / mask wearing gaff, like accepting questionable directorships with allegedly corrupt foreign companies.
Perhaps President Obama will put his foot down and exert some discipline, by insisting his kids social isolate with the family in the expensive low lying sea side villa President Obama purchased late last year. Daddy Obama could put the family social isolation time to good use, by educating his kids about Covid safety and sea level rise.
Idiot (Dementia Joe).

“Zn2+ Inhibits Coronavirus and Arterivirus RNA Polymerase Activity In Vitro and Zinc Ionophores Block the Replication of These Viruses in Cell Culture”
I’m taking Quercetin, which is an Ionophore, along with lots of zinc and vitamin D. Hoping that will be enough.
The Regeneron cocktail Trump took is probably the most promising drug for treatment of the Wuhan virus. It is tailored specifically for the Wuhan virus. The unknows about it are how soon will it be available to the general public and how much will it cost.
I wouldn’t hesitate to take Hydroxychloriquine if I got infected before the Regereron medication was available. 🙂 I also hear Ivermectin is effective and it only takes one dose as a treatment. It is said to also work well along side Hydroxychloriquine.
I think the trick is you have to slow down replication of the the Wuhan virus enough to allow the human immune system to recognize it and get on top of it, and these medications do that, by interfering with the Wuhan virus progression.
We should definitely be treating high-risk populations as soon as possible after they test positive. We should not leave them sitting at home while the virus continues to do damage in their bodies.
My heating and cooling guy came over the other day to do some work for me and told me he got the Wuhan virus a few months ago. It’s spreading like wildfire now for some reason. We have drugs to treat it, if the authorities would deign to change the rules a little.
Well, let’s see, we are having a problem with Wuhan virus patients filling up our hospitals.
The Hydroychloriquine has been shown to be 84 percent effective at keeping Wuhan virus patients out of the hospital if given early enough in the course of infection.
Does anyone see a solution to our overcroweded hospitals here?
Ivermectin is also supposed to be effective at keeping people infected with the Wuhan virus out of the hospital, if given early enough in the course of the infection.
The Regeneron cocktail President Trump took for his Wuhan virus infection will keep people out of the hospital if given early enough in the infection.
The problem is the United States does not have a good policy for handling the Wuhan virus. When people test positive, the standard way our system handles it is to tell the patient to stay home and no medications are given to them at this stage. So a lot of people who would not have gone to the hospital if treated early, end up in the hospital.
This is easily fixed with a policy change, if politics can be kept out of it.
Why is the official medical community in the U.S. ignoring the benefits of treating the Wuhan virus early in the progress of the disease? Answer: Pure politics. Pure Trump Derangement Syndrome.
if given early enough in the course of the infection.
Seems to be a pattern here. But for some insane reason, the CDC recommended treatment protocols, as you mention, suggest no early treatment. It’s almost like they WANT this outcome.
I don’t think the Powers-that-Be want people to die, they just don’t want anything positive to be connected to President Trump, or they fear doing something that will appear favorable to Trump, thus bringing down the wrath of the Left upon them.
If we started talking about early treatment of the Wuhan virus it would necessarily bring up the subject of hydroychloriquine and that is solidly connected with Trump now.
Early treatment can’t hurt. None of the drugs we are talking about are dangerous in the doses used and there are probably a dozen different drugs that appear to be effective to one degree or another like Ivermectin, where a patient takes a one-time, 12 miligram dose.
So early treatment is not all about hydroxychloriquine, but that will be the focus in any discussion I think.
Now, would seem to be the perfect time to try out this method of early treatment. As I said, the latest hydroxycholoriquine study says it kept 84 percent of patients treated from having to go to the hospital. It’s cheap, it’s available everywhere, and it is effective if given early enough in the infection. And it is one of about a dozen treatments available, so we don’t have to focus on one drug.
The problem is the medical community (with a lot of exceptions) is not focused on early treatment of the Wuhan virus with the drugs we already have available. Perhaps the hospital overcrowding will bring a new focus to this problem. They have a solution, early treatment, they just need to implement it. And soon, from the looks of things.
The Medical Community should announce an official policy to treat the Wuhan virus with medications as soon as a person tests positive. They don’t have to specify what that treatment will be, they can leave that to the indivdual doctor. They just need to convey to the doctors and the general public that this is a viable solution to hospital overcrowding.
Ivermectin is supposedly effective at all stages of illness. I gleaned that from this guy, who IMO is the best goto for treatments.

Here’s his compilation of various treatments
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1330584078995877888.html
And Ivermectin might be easier to get than Hydroxycholoriquine when the politics are considered. There is no “Trump stigma” on Ivermectin, like there is on Hydroxycholoriquine.
Thanks for those links.
So, we are all talking about what Biden has said, because we assume Biden is going to become president. At this point in the ‘script’ things just start to get interesting.
What about covid origins? 2020 US election fixing? There sure is lots and lots of evidence. What is up? Could they all be related? Is there a China connection? How serious is this China take over the world idea? Could that ‘idea’ which they cannot stop now, get carried away? i.e. Could a good country do a bad thing and start something that is bad?
Things must really be ‘bad’, as even the BBC is waking up to the Chinese plot to steal stuff from the US and to interfere in US politics.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55177975
What will or will not happen in the future is absolutely determined by what is or is not true. Not what you believe will happen.
According to Q (from the ‘script’ which provides up to this point in time an exact explanation of what is going to happen along with a helpful explanation of why different groups do what they do and who knows what at different times; and the existence and seizure of the CIA Frankfurt server why it was taken, how many US soldiers will die in its capture, what is on the Frankfurt server, what is done with that evidence, and so on. 100% to this point in time, of course ‘time’ will tell.)
According to the script. Trump is not going to concede the 2020 US election. Correct so far. Rep have raised $200 million for legal efforts.
Q predicts Trump will not succeed in overturning the US election, however, that will not matter as Biden will decide he does not want to be president and that will take the wind out of the sails of the Dems who are going to be upset about what is going to happen.
Before Jan Milt release, the HCQ cocktail info will be released to US pubic. Soon after Vit D covid info will be released. According to Q the US Milt Intelligence is going to release this info as a counterintelligence strategy before the Jan Milt info release.
This info if true is politically powerful and its release would provide evidence of a new player in the game.
And in Jan the US Milt is going release info on the covid origin, China involvement, and the alleged CIA/FBI interference in the 2020 US election.
Q predicts the CIA Frankfurt server will be the biggest find/cause the greatest change in world intelligence history.

“2020 US election fixing? There sure is lots and lots of evidence. What is up? Could they all be related? Is there a China connection?”
Well, for what it is worth, there is a story out there that a Swiss bank with big ties to China made a loan to the Dominion vote counting company of about $400 million on October 8, 2020.
If Trump manages to stay in Office, there are going to be a lot of people going to jail for vote fraud.
Attorney General Willam Barr hasn’t found any voter fraud.
From the article: “oe Biden said Thursday that he will ask Americans to commit to 100 days of wearing masks as one of his first acts as president, stopping just short of the nationwide mandate he’s pushed before to stop the spread of the coronavirus.”
The reason he stopped short is because the president does not have the power to mandate nationwide mask wearing, unless he wants to declare Martial Law which suspends the U.S. Constitution. A step too big even for Joe “Traitor” Biden.
Both MSM and Biden think he is president elect. He isn’t, yet. SCOTUS will weigh in on PA illegality, federal judge will weigh in on NV, and the state legislatures will weigh in on AZ,GA., and possibly WI. Any three of those four puts the election under the 12th amendment passed in 1804 to resolve the A2§1.3 mess in Jefferson’s 1800 election, where the 12A House vote (one per state) will be 26 Trump, 23 Biden, with PA deadlocked so no vote.
Rud, I tend to agree and want the outcome to be as described. But I can’t see how the establishment will let it happen. Today I watched CCTV video taken in the State Farm Arena in Atlanta of a GA when everyone was ordered to vacate the building for the night pending a return the following day. Unfortunately, when all key players, press and observers had left the Dem workers returned to start loading suitcases full of ‘votes’ into the Dominion machines. YET – nothing from the MSN. Crickets!!

Harry, its worse than JoNova portrayed. Despite the bombshell video yesterday, Fulton County certified its corrupted vote today.
On a positive note, what the video does is give the GA legislature ammo to ‘take over’. Same reason Rudy and Jenna also held ‘bombshell’ legislative hearings in and specific to MI and AZ. The political route of A2§1.2.
The alternative court route is PA since already at SCOTUS, and NV.
Repub Govs Kemp in GA and Ducey in AZ know they are toast in their next elections if they don’t politically respond appropriately no matter how RINO they may be.
Face it Rud, Trump lost. Based on the number of lawsuits thrown out due to lack of evidence, the political solution is going against the vote of the people. Please respect the voters, as voters not lawyers elect the president.
Simon, are you same Simon who posts over at Jo’s blog? If so, your posts here are just as simple as they are there – demonstrating your total lack of any knowledge of how polling in elections is controlled and managed. Then again, I daresay your fiends in the CCP would have similarly little knowledge of how free and fair elections are managed.
The state of GA has decided to ignore this video and go ahead and certify the election.
An interesting site to monitor election fraud matters.

Imo, Trump’s chances are getting a little bit better.
It is a crime against the American public that the Leftwing News Media is completely censoring Trump on a subject that is vital to every freedom-loving American.
The reason they censor Trump is because they have something to hide.
Trump is going to expose them, even further than he already has. That’s what they are afraid of. That’s why they don’t want Americans to hear what Trump has to say.
Rud,
You left out one critical point. The Electoral Colleges meet in their home states on Dec 14th to vote for the President and Vice President, in separate votes, it is not a package deal. As you know, that is the election day. Those results will be counted on Jan 6th so we will have to wait until then. In a possible ironic turn of events, imagine what would happen if the Electors vote for Biden but not for Harris. Biden/Pence. Perhaps that would be a healing combination.
To clarify for those who do not understand, if neither Biden or Trump received 270 or more electoral votes, the 12th Amendment would kick in as Rud said. Voting would be done by the newly seated Congress. This also applies for the VP. If neither VP candidate gets 270 or more the vote goes to the Senate and a simple majority wins. That is another reason for the Republicans to hold the Senate.
There will never be healing if the Democrats blatantly steal the election. Nor will anyone ever take another election seriously afterwards.
If they get away with this, they’ll steal every election from now on, even if they have to print a hundred million votes to do so.
Why do you think the Democrats have opposed every method to ensure that only those eligible to vote do so? And when they started losing that battle decided to push for making all elections mail in only.
I thought the current Senate would vote on the VP while the next House of Reps would vote for president.
The new Senate is seated at the same time as the new House, Jan 3. However, the runoff in Georgia will take place on Jan 5 so I don’t know how that would work out for those Senators. But per the 12th Amendment, only a simple majority in the Senate would elect the VP. Keep in mind that Pence will still be VP on Jan 6th and can cast a deciding vote in case of a tie.
PS Rud, at 2am on the day after the election, Trump declared himself the winner based on the reporting of the MSM. So even he acknowledges their role in this.
The media weren’t in on the Democrats schemes to create after hours votes. It’s not surprising that they were caught flat footed.
LOL “caught”……sorry, AG Barr has found nothing, and he works for Trump.
What about isolating the virus first!
Let me explain.
Prof. Christian Drosten is Germany’s Fauci.
Three Germans (I have not received permission to mention their names) will give Drosten ~$30,000 for the following:
I bet 10,000 euros they can’t isolate a Covid19 virus. Take it
The original bet from one person 10,000 was increased by two others with each 10,000
Carl, hate to say this to you here, but the ‘virus hasn’t been isolated yet’ is just nonsense.
It was isolated in late Jan 2020, and the full RNA sequence was published before end Feb. (BTW, this is now fairly easy to do using modern molecular biology, and then to prove in vitro.)
That is how Gilead realized early March that remdesivir might work. Regeneron’s synthetic monoclonal antibody cocktail targets both the S-1 and S-2 binding sites on the spike protein. They started development early March this year using their proprietary platform of humanized mice and a bioreactor cell culture line. Lilly’s monoclonal targets the S-1.
The Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines both also target S-1. Both are ~95% effective in phase three human clinical trials. More proof we got the viral RNA sequence ‘right’ early in 2020.
All of this is fact, and none of it would have been possible if the virus had not been isolated and sequenced many months ago in early 2020.
100 days will get us into May, at a time you could expect cases to start falling as spring takes over from winter.
Plus the vaccine would have been out for 2 to 3 months as well.
In other words, Biden will be well positioned to claim that his mask request saved 500 million Americans from an untimely death. And of course to claim that nobody would have died had only Trump cared enough to make the same request.
He can have that for himself and his followers. Wait a second. They’ve all been wearing their masks over their eyes for quite some time already so they can’t see the fraud.
So the ‘crime boss’ says we “gotta mask up”
No.
What ever happened to the times when past Presidents would just sit on the sidelines and keep their mouth shut ?
Was there ever such a time ??
This is a real question.
There was such a time, and so far the Republicans have stuck to the old standard.
Hopefully Trump will be the first ex-president to meet the Democrats on their own ground.
If Trump ever leaves the scene. the Media will crash and burn.
What else would they talk about ?

I have heard of her.

Biden: “And I think we’ll see a significant reduction” in the virus, Joe Biden said”
Who in Pete’s name cares one whit what *BIDEN* thinks about the efficacy of wearing a mask?
Masks are useless. Single layer woven fabric does nothing. Surgical mask are only slightly better and only if they are properly worn. N95 masks, the miracle mask, only filters particles down to about .3 microns. The virus is .1 microns. Now I’ve heard all the “experts” tells us that they will still filter out the virus because the virus is always attached to something bigger. This is an assumption on their part, they have little to no hard data. Even if we assume this to be true where do these particles go. Into the mask where moisture will evaporate and air will still carry the virus out. Even the experts tell us that N95 masks must be change on regular basis to be effective at all. They also must be properly fit to the wearer. Now last I checked most of the N95 masks you can get off the internet are fakes. Most of the real supply is reserved for the front line workers, doctors and nurses, as it should be.
If you must feel like you are doing something then by all means, wear a face diaper. You can have your warm fuzzy but don’t for one instant think that you will be protected from a virus.
Anyone who has seen movies about contagions have seen the hazards suits that people wear when dealing with a deadly virus. These are relatively accurate. Now you tell me. Why would these people go to all that effort if all they had to do is wear a mask?
Totally agree JC.
The other aspect never mentioned is that the virus can just as easily enter the body via eyes, therefore why no regulations to mandate eye protection ?
why no regulations to mandate eye protection ?
Fauci has already suggested it, so it might be coming.
I had to wear a mask for a couple hours this morning while handling some food. Cloth mask. By the end of the 2 hours, it was so wet, all the way through, I could squeeze liquid from it.
How is that doing any good at all. If I had THE VIRUS, what sort of viral load would I have been throwing out all over the food I was handling and the people around me?
What the Republicans need to do is get someone to convince AOC to run for speaker of the house.
Then get all of the Republicans to vote for her.
Make AOC the face and voice of the Democrats for the next 2 years.
I actually like that idea. Too bad not enough Reps in congress have the necessary to do it.
At least she has a degree Marky- which is more than you! Bwahahaha…
With all the emphasis on masks are people no longer paying as much attention to hand hygiene and keeping commonly touched surfaces and objects wiped down?
Making healthy people stay home and inside will not help the drop off in vitamin D as we enter the winter months.
are people no longer paying as much attention to hand hygiene and keeping commonly touched surfaces and objects wiped down?
I have no statistical data, but my personal observations indicate that they aren’t doing the other stuff – sanitation AND distancing. Nor are they wearing masks properly.
Unless I just can’t get away with it, I refuse to wear a mask. Sorry, I’ve had the WuFlu and it will be some time before I’m at risk. With my wife and kids, I can say we’ve had hangnails more troublesome than the WuFlu.
I’m curious whether survivors will be exempt from having to wear masks, and exemp from any vaccine mandate.
It is funny when governments thinks guaranteeing the HEALTHY will magically stop the viral spread.
Rioters, too?
Demonstrators?
I can see a LOT of family and friend demonstrations coming. First Amendment demonstrations, you know, “the right of the people peaceably to assemble” doesn’t say anything about masks.
Here is the world data https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/?utm_campaign=homeAdvegas1?
I pick some significant countries:
US first in number of cases , 861 deaths per million of population
Japan 45th in number of cases 18 deaths per million
Australia 95th in number of cases 35 deaths per million
To fit these data is a multi-parameter model is needed . There are great differences in behavior of populations.
Do not forget that epidemics rely on statistical probabilities. A large virus load has to attack in order for the virus to overcome the immune system. We are continually attacked by various viruses, and most of them are stopped by the immune system .
The difference in the numbers , at least between Australia and US, cannot be genetic.
“how probable is it to get infected strongly enough to die “. From the data it is much more improbable in Japan then in the US.
I believe that it is a matter not only of rules, but also on *complying with the rules*. We do not go the wrong way on a one way street because we live in an organized society that limits our freedoms so more people can live . If we take traffic rules a la cart death rates from accidents will soar.
Unfortunately in the countries with high death rates the rules have been taken a la cart , as is seen by the demonstrations against the lockdowns in many of the high death rate countries.
How many of Trump followers followed his live example of not distancing and wearing a mask? From the US numbers I would say ” a lot” .
Even if masks and distancing (the third hand washing) are 50% effective in preventing large loads of viruses to disperse in crowded conditions, this would lead to 50% less deaths per million.
Japanese are known for their mask wearing and distancing ( no hugs and kissing,no shoes in the house) . Their economy is practically not closed and the metro is crowded with masked people not allowed to talk! (keep your virus load to yourself).
Evidently Australians follow the rules too. Greeks were good at the first lockdown, but restless and disobedient as a race ( there is a proverb: the neck of a Greek cannot have a halter) so we are somewhere in the middle range of deaths per million.
Again , keep in mind, it is all about probability. Nature devised our nose as a mask for all the infections coming through the air , so that the immune system takes care of them. Giving the nose some extra help is a good idea for self protection too, not only of others, as it is good to keep the distance and wash hands.
Lets hope that this virus also goes the way of the other corona viruses and we get it as sniffles or a cold in the years to come. I think that as we live in an organized society, we should follow health rules the way we follow traffic rules , for the good of all, not for satisfying rebellious teenage impulses.
I would suggest that while some of what you suggest is true, you’re also seeing a correlation where you want to see it.
Try a different comparison: Canada and Australia and see what conclusions you can come to. We have the anti-Trump leading our country: someone completely enamored of China, the U.N. and control of the population. Our countries are approximately the same size, have similar populations both in total and in terms of population density.
Yet our numbers, as we enter into the fall/winter are not doing the pretty things that Australia did. Quite the opposite in fact. This isn’t altogether surprising given we’re heading towards our traditional flu season. The weather in Canada is rather dramatically different than Australia during the winter. While it’s true that Tasmania and higher elevations get snow, much of Canada is blanketed with snow for 3-4 months with substantially colder temperatures for longer durations.
Several provinces have had mandatory mask mandates in place since September. Where I live we had mandatory masks for indoor places since September 25th – 73 days now. (good luck Joe, 100 days won’t do diddly other than coincide with spring which will give you the appearance of effect you want, to the detriment of the following winter season if the vaccines aren’t as effective as claimed).
Many locations in Canada have locked down all but essential services. Want to go to a restaurant? Forget it. You can get takeout or delivery but no eating in (or out in tents as the U.S. has been doing which is comical). Want to browse for a book? Nope, that’s currently illegal. Anyone not selling what has been deemed essential (food, liquor, toiletries) is shut down and has been now for a month and it’s going to destroy businesses. We are functionally nearly under house arrest (you can go outside for walks, but all recreational facilities are closed and have been for well over a month) and have been told to stay home other than to go to work, for those that still have to go out (and are fortunate enough to be employed).
We’ve done what the most extreme advocates would have us do (and will never fly in the U.S.), kowtowing to every rule. We aren’t Americans, we don’t fight for civil liberties. Mask compliance is probably near 100% indoors (you’ll get thrown out if you go into a grocery store without a mask).
What’s the end result? Close to the highest test positivity rate found anywhere. Generally a non-stop increasing case load. https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/index.html
Suffice to say I remain unconvinced that masks are doing much of anything.
We’ve done what the most extreme advocates would have us do (and will never fly in the U.S.), kowtowing to every rule. We aren’t Americans, we don’t fight for civil liberties.
Most Americans don’t seem to be doing so either.
you can go outside for walks
In Los Angeles, you can’t even do that now.
I just had a frightening insight. No one is actually competent to run the world, or if they are, is above corruption.
That is the greatest indictment of Leftism – Liberalism to you US citizens – there is.
So how can the world be regulated? By humbly fixing what nearly everybody agrees is broken, and by humbly supporting whatever has been shown to work well enough to get us here.
In short, conservatism.
Which is why I am an atheist who supports Christianity. It works, and if the price of that is believing in something unprovable, so be it.
Poop and Covid19
