Few may have noticed that 42 percent of all COVID deaths in the US come from just three states—New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. These three states account for nearly 56,000 of the nearly 133,000 deaths in the US, even though they represent just 10 percent of the population. If these three states are excluded, the US suddenly finds itself somewhere in between nations such as Luxembourg (176/1M) and Macedonia (166/1M), where some of the better fatality numbers in Europe are found.
This week, the New York State Department of Health issued a report that concluded 6,326 COVID-positive residents were admitted to nursing homes between March 25 and May 8 as a result of the order.
”The data shows that the nursing home residents got COVID from the staff, and presumably, also from those who visited them. Unfortunately, we did not understand the disease early on, we did not realize how widespread it was within our community, and therefore, it was able to be introduced into a vulnerable population,” said New York Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker.

Look at that quote by Zucker again:
“Unfortunately, we did not understand the disease early on, we did not realize how widespread it was within our community, and therefore, it was able to be introduced into a vulnerable population,”
I have a whole post, March 16th, which shows that we did in fact know how ‘widespread’ it was. “We” apparently didn’t include the ‘expert’ Zucker, however.

We also understood who was most vulnerable… well, everyone except the ‘experts’ in NY apparently. Before the March 16th post above, I raised concern about the elderly and how they needed our special attention in this post

And probably others, too. But note the dates. The NY policy was in effect “March 25 and May 8.” My posts beat those dates by several weeks.
I don’t think I’m particularly clever for noticing how COVID uniquely devastates older communities. Many were doing so. I think our authorities and ‘experts’ were particularly stupid, and in some cases, apparently, actually wicked, for seemingly doing everything possible to NOT specially protect these communities, at the expense of justifying total, community/state/national shut downs of EVERYONE.
I hate these people. I really do.

I guess I'm no good on that front.
Assuming they are sincere and in good faith and truly Christian, my concern is that they skip over a whole lot of very important territory, and somehow manage to land right where the leftists want them to. Ignored are the massive strides to defeat ACTUAL institutional racism in the 50's and 60's, there is NO recognition of the 350 thousand largely white people who DIED to free the slaves (does this count for nothing?), no apparent understanding that insofar as institutional racism continued after the 60's, it did so in the context of a concerted effort to destroy the black family, etc, etc.
The latter is particularly important to recognize, because it is just absurd to suggest that America is 'oppressive' today in anywhere close to the way it was leading up to the 1960's. Meaning, the black community is hurt today not by what others are doing to it, but what it is doing to itself--facilitated, of course, by 'well-meaning' liberals.
The implication of these essays is that the problem is conservatives who apparently need to change something at the national level [assuming that practicing white Christians tend to be conservatives] because of COURSE the solution is to impose something on 330,000,000 people... something, I don't know what exactly... reparations?
Meanwhile, generally speaking, the policies destroying the black family are ones conservatives tend to oppose, and liberals tend to support. Conservatives don't always oppose those policies because of concern about blacks, but nonetheless, it seems so strange that rural/suburban America--where conservatives are for the most part--are being called to action when the real problems occur in the big cities, where the conservatives aren't.
I hate to be political about it or dismissive of their comments, but its just hard for me to take seriously when they overlook such factors so persistently, and they want us to focus on things that 'coincidentally' are the things that Marxists and others that want to destroy America fixate on.
