I have to wonder if a few Biden voters, who seemed to have mostly voted against Trump rather than for China Joe, are starting to rethink their vote, finally realizing just what they enable, what the policies will do negatively to their lives

Joe Biden Coronavirus Adviser Urges National Lockdown for ‘4 to 6 Weeks’

An adviser to Joe Biden on coronavirus has floated the idea of a nationwide lockdown for “four to six weeks.”

Dr. Michael Osterholm was appointed to Biden’s 12-person Covid advisory board on Monday.

On Wednesday, he appeared on CNBC and attempted to rationalize a national lockdown order.

“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers, for losses to small companies, to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” he said.

“If we did that, then we could lock down for four-to-six weeks.”

Osterholm claimed that would help get the virus under control, “like they did in New Zealand and Australia.”

New Zealand and Australia are islands, and were able to really, really restrict people coming in. Will Joe restrict? Oh, wait, no, he wants to let in hundreds of thousands if not millions of immigrants, mostly those who would come illegally.

In August, Osterholm said the state-led lockdowns did not go far enough.

“The problem with the March-to-May lockdown was that it was not uniformly stringent across the country. For example, Minnesota deemed 78 percent of its workers essential,” he wrote in the New York Times, along with Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari.

“To be effective, the lockdown has to be as comprehensive and strict as possible.”

Who provides food? How do we get food? Who brings it to us? Who brings it to market? How much are those lost wages? What happens when this doesn’t work? We were told 15 days back in February/March.

And, good luck making this happen. You’ll see revolts.
