Biden to Roll-Out “6-Pronged Plan” to Contain the Uncontainable COVID-19
India shows how containment can work with certain viruses, like deadly Nipah Virus.
Biden, fresh off his questionable role as a meteorologist, intends to use his unique skills to issue a 6-pronged plan to contain a virus that no one can control.
…. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters traveling with Biden aboard Air Force One that he will lay out the six-pronged strategy ‘working across the public and private sectors to help continue to get the pandemic under control.’
Asked about possible new mandates, Psaki said the White House would offer more details later about the plan and acknowledged that the federal government cannot broadly mandate that Americans get vaccinated.
‘We need to continue to take more steps to make sure school districts are prepared and make sure communities across the country are prepared,’ Psaki added.
I am sure the 6-pronged plan will be every bit as successful as the border control and Afghanistan withdrawal plans.
The worst part of the 4 weeks needed to flatten the curve was the first 18 months.

Let’s compare COVID to another disease causing problems. Authorities in the Indian state of Kerala are battling to contain an outbreak of the Nipah virus, an animal-borne virus with a fatality rate of 75%.
The virus, which is not related to the coronavirus behind the current global pandemic and is far more deadly, killed a 12-year-old boy in Kerala over the weekend, prompting stepped-up efforts to trace his contacts. New infections have been confirmed.
The boy was admitted to a hospital a week ago with high fever. As his condition worsened and doctors suspected inflammation of his brain (encephalitis), his blood samples were sent to the National Institute of Virology, where tests confirmed a Nipah infection. He died early on Sunday.
Government authorities have stepped up contact tracing efforts, identifying, quarantining and testing people who may have come into contact with the young victim. According to the state’s health minister, Veena George, 188 people who came into contact with the boy had been identified by Monday. Of them, 20 were considered high-risk primary contacts — primarily his family members, all of whom were being held under strict quarantine or hospitalized.
Nipah virus can be transmitted to humans from animals (such as bats or pigs) or contaminated foods. It is also possible that the virus can be sent directly from human to human.
Nipah virus was first discovered in Malaysia and Singapore in 1999 — an outbreak of nearly 300 human cases, with more than 100 deaths, the CDC noted. More than 1 million pigs were killed to help control the outbreak, causing a “substantial economic impact.”
Complicating its detection, key symptoms are similar to those of COVID-19, including fever, cough, sore throat and difficulty breathing, the CDC noted.
The infected often also suffer encephalitis, or swelling of the brain — and if they survive, often suffer persistent convulsions and even personality changes. The contagion can remain dormant in sufferers — who may get sick and possibly die from it “months and even years after exposure,” the CDC warned.
There is no vaccine, and the only treatment is supportive care to control complications and keep patients comfortable.
Unlike the coronavirus, the Nipah virus has a significant case fatality rate (40%-75%), and contact tracing is effective at containing outbreaks (unless Fauci or the Chinese meddled with the genetics).
In part, this strategy is effective because viruses that originate with animals find it difficult to get their hooks into humans. This is different from COVID-19, which may have been altered to be more easily transmissible to humans.
India’s approach to the Nipah virus is wise. However, I assert that it is time to stop using the robust “control by any means” approach to COVID-19. A comparison between the cases being observed between robustly controlling Israel and substantially less restrictive Sweden highlights the wave-cycle occurring no matter how many masks are worn.
Cases in Israel with mask mandates and vaccine passports are 1,191% higher than Sweden where no one is wearing masks and there are no vaccine passports so get ready for more mask mandates and vaccine passport recommendations from purposefully ignorant experts pic.twitter.com/7shVO0YJY6

Here’s another comparison for consideration: Between Nevada, California, and Arizona, with various levels of rules or mandates.
Arizona, California & Nevada have different mask rules in major cities, reopened at different times & have different vaccination rates, yet the case curves are nearly indistinguishable
It’s incredible to watch experts & politicians ignore this because it’s inconvenient for them pic.twitter.com/MKBoiQhXX2

I am betting the solution will be to “Build Back Better”.
Has anyone ever heard a Politician or Bureaucrat say “I was wrong” or “I am sorry “?
Only when the very next sentence is, “But since then I’ve found Jesus!”
Variation: “I will be leaving office so I can spend more time with my family.
The sequence is:
1. tear down first
2. build back worse
3. call it better
In some cases, such as the border wall, they don’t build back at all.
4. Demand more funding to fix the problems they created.
God, just let it run its damned course. We’re never going to get a handle on it without herd immunity.
Meanwhile…
Sweden is lifting the rest of the restrictions it still had in place on Sept 29. Sweden never had many restrictions or mandates to begin with — no mask mandates, no lockdowns, no vaccine passports.
Denmark has announced it will begin treating Covid as an endemic disease, like the flu.
Life almost back to normal in Sweden and Denmark. Many other European nations are sure to follow their lead.
The American Left — Dems, media, Big Tech, government bureaucracies, neverTrumpers, etc. — heavily politicized Covid to rig an election to get rid of Trump, seize power, and spend trillions. Instead of letting go they are doubling down. It has little to do with Covid.
Six prongs would be a manure fork.
It’s a tool used by goat-footed beings.
Clearly, Biden’s folks are not serious about controlling Covid surge because they’ve refused to mandate the extermination of enough pigs.
Bag some pigs, maybe a few million chickens, and a horse or two. Performed at midnight accompanied by burning a few tons of incense, these actions will also eliminate all those twisters in such Midwest states as Nevada.
FOLLOW THE DAMNED SCIENCE!
Biden will use 6 1-pronged forks.
Aren’t those called “chopsticks?” Somehow, that’s appropriate.
The sooner he has a total meltdown at a press conference and is babbling even more incoherently than he is now. the sooner all of this nonsense will end.
They are taking a chance by letting him speak in public and sooner or later what you just described will happen. Oh how I hope it is sooner.
I just hope it’s televised live. People may have to pass the video around afterward on thumb drives, but it’ll go viral all the same.
Me and McGehee!
Not if someone at the controls realizes what is going on and – like magic – we hear stuttered audio and then “sectioning” and freezing of segments on the screen, like one gets with OTA reception goes bad with digital TV.
You do realize that the Biden’s handlers have Biden on a 30-second (or more) delayed broadcast feed so that if he goes off script and/or starts to babble incoherently they can use one of their pre-arranged “technical difficulties” to immediately cut Joe off before the it hits the broadcast channels to the public, right?
The marxist regime can not allow biden to be removed.
If biden is removed, the senate will be split 50/50 and be a nightmare for the marxist.
Thank heavens for Romney, Murkowski, and Snow.
“Terry Rapson: I’m afraid that time has come and gone, my friend.”
It’s time we, as a nation, rethought our stance on athletic doping.
At least when you dope an Olympic athlete, you get to enjoy watching an Olympic-level performance.
We continue to focus on controlling the infection rate instead of the death rate. It’s by infection of the majority, those with robust immune systems, that viruses are brought under control. The worst is vaccinating those who were infected and recovered whose immune systems are made even more robust having recovered from another virus.
All these “experts” are accomplishing is to prolong the period of infection spread, infections that they cannot stop. They keep playing fudging the statistics to feed the fear-porn while keeping us all penned in while they destroy civilization. I wonder what their motive is? I’m sure it’s all for our own good.
“I wonder what their motive is? I’m sure it’s all for our own good.”
Same here. It is now obvious we taxpayers funded this. Thanks, Fauci!
It torques my jaw to no end.
Never underestimate the cult of “safetyism” combined with an unquestioning belief in whatever garbage the media vomits out.
What will become of us that refuse the vaccine?
Their chances of avoiding a brand new heart condition are good. The law is on their side, and there are plenty of jobs.
A lot of people are planning to get the disease, and use early outpatient treatment to get over it in a week. Others are going to refresh some of their childhood (adverse events less than 1 per million doses). Take your pick.
We live long enough to learn why the Masters of the Universe are so insistent on EVERYONE getting jabbed while refusing to offer no scientific proof that they are necessary. All of the science regarding mRNA vaccines indicates that they are unproven and have shown results that point to serious long-term side-effects with sterility being among the most important. These are not vaccines but DNA experiments.
I have come to believe that this is all about the vaccine, not the WuFlu itself. I am perfectly willing to take the risk of not getting jabbed.
What I don’t get is, why are they worrying about the kids, when they neither catch or transmit the disease.
Given the rate of vaccine injuries, is this in our best interests?
And again, Why do our children resist this disease so well?
It’s been sitting in front of our faces all this time.

So, with Pfizer in the mix, will they change that recommendation, too?
They aren’t. — but they’ve had such good results with “for the children” in the past, it just seems like a slam dunk.
Valerie, they aren’t worried about the kids. Have you seen the leftist wish lists the Teachers Unions have put out? They’re full of the typical leftist buzzwords like equity, racial justice, environmental justice, etc. Which, if you’re aware of how Marxists operate are simply restatements of old-fashioned communist jargon. Critical Race theory is simply avowed Marxist Max Horkheimer’s Critical Theory (see “Traditional and Critical Theory,” his 1937 essay) repackaged with an “R” in the middle. Horkheimer asserted that capitalism was oppressive because the political and economic systems are set up to advance the interests of the Bourgeoisie at the expense of the exploited Proletariat. CRT mongers simply restated the idea in racial terms. Capitalism is oppressive because it’s racist. The political and economic systems are set up to advance the interests of cis White christofascist males at the expense of everyone else.
It’s simply a matter of the left (the academy, government, media, unions, et al) holding the children hostage (everyone else if you count lockdowns) until we acquiesce to their communist coup.
They don’t give a rip about the children anymore that the founders of #BLM (who bragged about being “trained Marxists”) actually care about black lives.
With leftists it is never about what they claim to care about.
“Contain the uncontainable”
A great quote from the movie the day after tomorrow applies to covid:
Jack Hall: Professor, It’s time you got out of there.
Terry Rapson: I’m afraid that time has come and gone, my friend.
Call me cynical, but, I submit that Xi-den’s plan should be dubbed “The Great Leap Backward.”
COVID-19 is a means to an end. That end has no connection to my health. The plan is focused on the health of the totalitarian control. That pattern has been consistent and it is the only clear piece of this deliberately contradictory and confusing puzzle. Marxists/Maoists/leftists always lie.
I can hardly wait to see the plan to contain an endemic virus. GTFOH!
I can take a quick guess at what these six prongs of the fork are, and they all involve “Give Government more power over your life”
Mask mandates with criminal penalties, mandatory vaccinations for (fill in random groups here), Federal lockdowns imposed on any community with ‘excessive spread’ (such spread to be determined by Feds), and two more Big Government power grabs that nobody expects.
Yeah this is going to be a hoot. What is the messaging strategy here? FDR had four freedoms, Islam has five pillars and Biden has six prongs so Biden is bigger and better?
Someone with a bigger and more eloquent voice than mine is going to roast this as the hot garbage it will be.
Didn’t Clinton deflower seven… maybe I’m remembering wrong.
That’s on the low side.
I know exactly where the fork goes.
Stick the fork in, he’s done.
Get forked?
That’s forking hilarious.
Up our rear ends! These bastards, HOW THE WORLD DID WE GET IN THIS STRAIGHT JACKET? I’d like to make it mandatory that ONLY BIDEN VOTERS GET THE VAX, THE PITCHFORK LETT HIS WICKENDESS DEVISES MORE TORTURE JUST FOR HIS DEVOTEES!

I apologize, not sure how this double posted.
You’re posts are so good I don’t mind reading ’em twice.
Animal reservoirs are a known and not so novel long-term risk (e.g. endemic) to a minority (number, not color) of the population.
After they contain COVID, next they’ll enact extrnsive reforms to the law of gravity, followed by lowering the speed of light and requiring $#!+ to roll uphill on alternate Wednesdays.
Nope – their next trick will be to “save the planet.” The requires the eradication of modern society and billions of people, but, sacrifices must be made for the planet.
That grumbling noise you hear if you live close to the San Andreas Fault is the planet saying “thank you”
Or could be saying, “No thank you.”
Yep, you got the idea, Down Biden’s Rabbit Hole as he’s the RED QUEEN DIRECTING IT ALL? NO, SOMEBODY WITH A BRAIN BEHIND THE BIDEN CURTAIN IS THE REAL OZ OR RED QUEEN! We’re in the LOOKING GLASS PHASE+ STOCKHOLM SYNDROME!
Riiiigghhhhtttt…. this dolt couldn’t manage to wipe his own ass six times.
Pretty much if you don’t get the shot you won’t get treated
I’m a nurse and appalled
We never turned people away no matter the illness or behaviors prior to it, including AIDS, obesity, etc
But now it’s OK and the late night “comics”, yeah right, s court that behavior
It’s so disgusting
I have a more efficient six-pronged fork that will solve this problem the right way. It’s out in my tack shed. All I need is a torch and a couple hundred people for a… parade, yeah, that’s the ticket. A nice parade, with horses. No clowns, we’ll collect those at the finish line.
Six prongs of the fork?
Maybe he should address the six stages of alzheimers.
First step, close planned parent/hood facilities, and end planned parent/hood rites (Whitmer, Cuomo et al). Second step, mitigate immigration reform (e.g. illegal immigration, untested and excessive immigration). Third step, remove the mask, you’re not fooling anyone, and they are minimally effective to delay droplet transmission when following strict protocol. Fourth step, this is not our shot, not generally with known upfront and unknown long-term risk, natural immunity is more robust and durable (e.g. cross-reactive). Fifth step, advise early, inexpensive, effective, low-risk therapeutic treatments that mitigate infection and disease progression, and complement natural immune function in the majority of people… persons who are otherwise healthy and at low-risk.
Fresh off his successful donation of $100 billion worth of American-made, U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons and materiel to the global Muslim supremacist/terrorist/thug cabal, Xi-den will now conquer the Wuhan virus bioweapon.
“I’ll take Australia’s measures and go a step further. For the children. If it saves one child’s life it’s worth it.”

White urban/suburban women with degrees clap and cheer wildly.
Do not rule out [in fact expect] that the six prongs will include arrest and detention without trial, restrictions on speech that opposes the government’s efforts, and suspending political activity that may interfere with the fight against anything the government does not like.

Meanwhile in Australia they’re limiting the amount of booze people can buy.

“Residents in apartment blocks locked-down by NSW Health are having their alcohol deliveries policed… Residents are allowed to receive one of the following: six beers, one bottle of wine, or one 375ml bottle of spirits. Excess alcohol is confiscated.”
I don’t drink, so maybe that explains my confusion – what is the point of these restrictions, other than pure control?
Gee… If only there was a Judicial body in the US whose primary purpose was to determine the Constitutionality of laws and Executive Orders and their rulings were actually followed?
