No Way Out: Pandemic Crisis Resolution Simulation

THE GREATEST HONOR HISTORY CAN BESTOW

It was the divisive election year in which "LBJ, LBJ, How Many Kids Have You Killed Today?" decided that "if nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve." It was the divisive election year, in which RFK (a lot of three letter initials that year), was assassinated, leaving many to wonder if Rosey Greer sang to him, as he lay on the floor at the Ambassador Hotel, "It's Alright to Cry; It Might Make You Feel Better. It was the divisive election year in which MLK did not decide to be a nonpartisan NAACP member to indicate strong preferences for either candidate in the election, and went out for a smoke on a motel balcony before walking into history. And after he had emerged victorious with a "Southern Strategy" with which Democrats are still trying to figure out the magic for breaking up, RN, a two letter initial President, like TR, gave a memorable inaugural address with a spirit from which Barack Obama this past week refrained while stumping for his favorite partisan candidate, Terry McAuliffe. After his election battle was won, pitted in a conflict in Southeast Asia, Tricky Dick, the master of the Checkers Speech, stood up before the American people, and said that the greatest honor that history can bestow is the title of peacemaker, and his first inaugural address continued with that same theme. But, post Watergate, despite being a really great inaugural address, few ever say: remember that great Nixon speech.

A former high school teacher in a school board race in a community where we have the most government scientists has never at even one point discussed the basic science of a novel coronavirus, one of only 221 viruses from the most abundant biological particles in the universe, which somehow defied all odds to come into existence as a threat to mankind and then go on to become a pandemic, with a less than five percent secondary attack rate, and a clear and present danger enough to frighten folks into business and school closures and anxiety about getting vaccinated--a disease with a 1.8% case fatality rate.

Tim Kaine and Don Beyer both had attended Jesuit high school, and they have to be familiar with the Jesuit instructional idea about using movies to tell a story, and, like Joe Biden, who grew up in a black church, which traditionally in the black tradition is not associated with anything Roman Catholic, which somebody needs to tell Tim Kaine who has for over 30 years believed he was a member of a black church, they did a lot of trying to sound like seeking reconciliation and instilling a spirit of working together by accusing anyone who did not vote for them as being divisive and making the pandemic political.

However, as was demonstrated when Arlington Public Schools went through a school facility renaming process, you can actually make a whole lot of money, especially in a public school division with the highest paying salaries, but apparently still not quite yet enough, even if they have yet to determine the exact infectious dose amongst our community of scientists to recruit and retain the best candidates, by becoming a "facilitator".
