We have been invaded by what our President calls the “invisible enemy”. President Trump has stated that the corona virus [COVID-19] is a “very intelligent enemy”!
Moreover, our esteemed Commander-In-Chief has declared himself our “wartime President”. He has declared war on the “silent killer” and issued a “call-to-arms” to ALL Patriotic Warriors to voluntarily enlist and engage in this war against COVID-19!
We must answer the call, too! President Trump, the “chosen one” wants all of us peons to “go back to work”. Forthrightly, deliberately and bravely, we must engage the “invisible killer” in our work places; at grocery stores; churches; synagogues; mosques; gymnasiums; restaurants; meat-packing plants; nursing homes; hospitals anywhere and everywhere the “silent killer” lurks; waiting to pounce upon us from out of nowhere as the unseen, invisible enemy to potentially kill us!
We must do this as “patriotic warriors” in the fight to preserve and protect our capitalist economic system for corporate America!
We must be brave, “Christian Soldiers” in the battle against COVID-19!
Standing collectively together; arm-in-arm; shoulder-to-shoulder pressed together in meat-packing factories, etc., without personal protective equipment [no masks, no gloves; no gowns] without practical social distancing principles applied to our workplaces.
We are supposed to “engage the enemy” and expose ourselves to the virus to create “herd immunity”!
Of course, all of us, [or at least the vast majority of us who must work to survive] will contract the virus. It will infect us! Many of us will become very ill; some of us will most assuredly D-I-E but most of us will survive [potentially permanently damaged and suffering long term health effects such as lung damage, kidney an liver dysfunction, brain and other permanent neurological ailments], BUT that is the price we must pay as “patriotic warriors” in our battle against COVID-19!
We need “herd immunity” [occurring after 65% to 75% of the overall population becomes infected] to defeat the “invisible enemy”, the “silent killer”, the “deadly virus that is spreading amidst and amongst us!
If it seems that “we, the warriors” are being compared to cattle; or sheep; or sacrificial lambs being led to the slaughter upon the altar of corporate capitalist profit, that is the price we must pay as “patriotic warriors”. It is our “duty” to God, our country and capitalism to make such a sacrifice!
We must engage the enemy; confront the virus and face death head on even if we D-I-E! That is what “soldiers” do after the “commander-in-chief” issues a “call-to-arms”!
We cannot, must not wait for adequate and plentiful testing; therapuetic drugs to mitigate the risk or a vaccine [that may not work anyway]!
Our corporate capitalist country based upon the profit motive cannot survive by “waiting out” COVID-19! We do not have time to be “smarter” than this “very intelligent enemy” [as President Trump calls it]! Our ONLY hope, according to those hunkering down in their homes and ordering us out to do battle with COVID-19 as they remain safe, is to actively and immediately engage the enemy!
If this hearkens back in your mind [historically speaking] to those terrible days of yesteryear; to NAZI Germany [Hitler and death camps]; to FASCIST Italy [Mussolini] or to WWII and the Jewish genocide, don’t fret!
I know that back then “some people” [mostly Jews but not exclusively] were deemed to be “sub-human beings”and therefore “expendable”. They were thought to be a “problem” demanding an immediate “solution”! They were sacrificed upon the altar of White Sumpremacy!
After all, as “warriors” sacrifices MUST be made. Several million people will have to die, and infinitely more millions MUST become infected to defeat COVID-19!
Of course, without testing; PPE’s; and therapuetic drugs and/or a vaccine the risk to us warriors is extremely high! Furthermore, there is no guarantee that becoming infected with the virus insures immunity from future infections. The “invisible enemy” can and may return again and again to reinfect us! We can be reinfected in a second; third and fourth “wave” of the virus! This may be a very long war with very high casualties!
BUT, that is what “patriotic warriors” do for their country! We march into battle poorly armored [like during the Iraq war] and highly vulnerable because our dear leader tells us to obey his call! We face death without adequate protection and no guarantee of success!
Meanwhile, at the White House, where our “wartime POTUS” resides, new protocols have been implemented to protect Trump and Pence AFTER a valet for the POTUS and the press secretary for Pence have tested positive for the Corona Virus!
President Trump has implemented a new policy for ALL white house staff. Starting immediately, ALL white house staff MUST be “tested daily” and wear masks whenever encountering/interacting with Trump and/or Pence!
As a “warrior” imagine having “daily testing” as you confront the “invisible enemy”, the “silent killer”!
What a comfort/aid it would be to all of us worker warriors to be able to know if we have become infected by the virus to quarantine ourselves to protect others from becoming infected!
Imagine ample PPE’s and proper workplace protocols being in place to protect us as we battle the virus!
But, alas, the “working warriors” will not be afforded the same testing/protective equipment demanded by Trump for his staff. We must engage the enemy without such protections.
In fact, the Senate leader of the GOP, “Moscow Mitch” McConnell is demanding that employers be protected from lawsuits that may arise AFTER the “working warriors” exalted by his leader, President Trump, to return to work and become infected! McConnell puts profit and employers before the protection of the people who actually go to work and engage the “deadly enemy” in our midst.
If it seems that President Trump, our “wartime president”, is putting his own personal protection above that of us “working warriors” and that economic profit is more important to him than the safety of the people he urges to wage war on the virus, that is precisely what is happening!
But, nevertheless, we must “suck it up”! Putting profit before people is not only the creed of the GOP [Greed Over Principle] party, it is the “American Way! It is, according to President Trump, “Our patriotic duty” as working warriors to do battle against COVID-19!
So, again, Warriors, AWAKE, ARISE and ATTACK the virus! After all, as President Trump likes to say ”What do you have to lose?”
Merely our lives! And, after all, what is more important our lives or corporate PROFIT?
