A group of Dem policy advisors led by Zeke Emanuel (brother of 'never let a crisis go to waste' Rham and one of the main architects of Obamacare ) have written an essay entitled 'A National Strategy for the 'New Normal ' life with Covid ' .
In their view ,the 'new normal ' is the permanent health crisis nanny state.
“The goal for the ‘new normal’ with COVID-19 does not include eradication or elimination, eg, the ‘zero COVID’ strategy.”
Eradication is a plan that Clueless has abandoned for all intent and purpose although he is still stuck on disproved rhetoric like 'pandemic of the unvaccinated ' and the 'vaccinated don't spread the disease'.
What is new is that they want to double down on emergency policies by expanding the list of respiratory illnesses covered .
A National Strategy for the “New Normal” of Life With COVID | Infectious Diseases | JAMA | JAMA NetworkQuote:
The “new normal” requires recognizing that SARS-CoV-2 is but one of several circulating respiratory viruses that include influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and more. COVID-19 must now be considered among the risks posed by all respiratory viral illnesses combined. Many of the measures to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (eg, ventilation) will also reduce transmission of other respiratory viruses. Thus, policy makers should retire previous public health categorizations, including deaths from pneumonia and influenza or pneumonia, influenza, and COVID-19, and focus on a new category: the aggregate risk of all respiratory virus infections.
BRILLIANT !
Get the sniffles ;LOCK THEM DOWN !
Now you ask any Dem about photo id's for the purpose of the integrity of the vote and their hair goes afire. But these guys have no issue with requiring national vaccination passports .
In addition, to facilitate verification of vaccination status and to better track postvaccination infections, there needs to be an electronic vaccine certificate platform. Relying on forgeable paper cards is unacceptable in the 21st century. Current state immunization information systems are incomplete, fragmented, and not interoperable, hindering national efforts to control the virus. A national electronic vaccine certificate platform is needed, such as the SMART Health Card, that ensures interoperability across states and countries, safeguards individual privacy, and is based on open-source technology publicly available for vetting to help satisfy any concerns over government surveillance. While controversial, this is not unprecedented. State and national databases are in use for other information, including for driver’s licenses, Social Security, voter registration, and specific health purposes, such as organ donation.
In the 'new normal ' America they would have mandatory vax for attending school and have us carry around our electronic passport for the ability to attend public events ;eat at restaurants ,go to movies ,sporting events etc ,and travel on public transportation.
