The politically-convenient pandemic has been characterized by cultist "expert" worship, with strict commandments like "thou must be unemployed, that we mayst flatten the curve", "thou shalt wear masks", and "thou shalt not leave thy house, lest ye smite grandma".
The "experts" never actually explain why an outbreak is severe in one place and time, while being mild in others.
Take California, please.
During the first wave of the supposedly deadly Chinese disease (the one with a minuscule infection fatality rate), the Beholden state got off fairly lightly.
The cultist's explanation was that
DEMOCRAT Governor "Twosome" Newsom had done a good job of locking down the state.
Except that similar lockdowns had done nothing to help
DEMOCRAT-dominated deep Blue New York.
But once the numbers declined in New York,
DEMOCRAT Cuomo and his media pals (including his kid brother) began crediting the governor's lockdown.
But when the numbers started rising again, Cuomo tried to blame the Jews.
Back in California, which is now an epicenter of the pandemic despite a largely-leftist population that fervently believes in huge government control, the "experts" and the cultist media are trying more excuses to explain the failure of their faith healing efforts.
"
Experts say a variety of factors combined to wipe out the past efforts, which for much of the year held the virus to manageable levels. Cramped housing, travel and Thanksgiving gatherings contributed to the spread, along with the public’s fatigue amid regulations that closed many schools and businesses and encouraged — or required — an isolated lifestyle".
... Experts say.
California housing didn't get any more cramped all of a sudden. If anything, there's been an exodus from California. It's so bad in the progressive paradise that illegals are reportedly sneaking back across the border to Mexico.
The Thanksgiving surge didn't happen. The numbers were rising well before that.
So, the honest answer here would be that the "experts" don't actually seem to know. But
that's not possible, the cultists cry!
The "experts" are the infallible oracles of supreme scientism.
So, as usual, the experts blame the "little people" people for not obeying their commandments.
Meanwhile, the "experts", like "Twosome Newsom",
DEMOCRAT De Blasio, Fredo Cuomo, and High Priestess of the COVID Cult Birx, were caught violating the cult's commandments - which indicates to me that they know their rules are all bullshit.
But this isn't about science, it's about political power.
But, the cultists shriek "
Crowded houses and apartments are often cited as a source of spread, particularly in Los Angeles, which has some of the densest neighborhoods in the U.S. Households in and around LA often have several generations — or multiple families — living under one roof. Those tend to be lower-income areas where residents work essential jobs that can expose them to the virus at work or while commuting."
Unfortunately, the data shows that LA is much less dense than New York; so how come it's in worse shape?
It appears to the unbeliever that the COVID cult "experts" have no clue about how to fight the China virus.
The only thing they know how to do is try to control people.
As elitists, they smugly assume that their citizens are too stupid to make their own choices and someone has to force them to comply with their unproven remedies.
Fighting human behavior just means spending a lot of time scolding people and penalizing them if they don't obey.
That's still all they can do. They have no answers.
And when that doesn't work, they claim it's because people weren't being controlled strictly enough.
