The Japanese island of Hokkaido was once a model for how to handle the COVID pandemic. Now, it’s a model for what not to do, because they opened too early and are experiencing a send wave of victims. Along those lines, Dr. Fauci has warned states against opening too early, despite the expiration of federal guidelines.

The dangers in opening too early are exemplified in Audrey Whitlock, one of the leaders of a North Carolina Facebook group protesting the stay-at-home order with large public rallies, who has tested positive for COVID.

An overwhelming majority of Americans, 81%, say that lockdown restrictions should not be lifted if it means coronavirus will spread.

Nevertheless, President Trump sent a series of tweets urging citizens to violate Democratic governors’ stay-at-home orders. Jay Inslee has called the tweets “unhinged” and “illegal,” since they’re calling for domestic insurrection. Protestors indeed gathered to call for “Liberation,” per Trump’s tweets, but the numbers were tiny.

What we wonder is this: is Trump actually trying to encourage insurrection, or is he doing so to obscure something

else––something like corruption?

Evidence is growing that Trump’s COVID response is political corruption.

According to a recent ProPublica investigation, the Trump administration pushed FEMA to approve contractors for a government job who never even bid, circumventing the normal process for unknown reasons.

According to a New York Times investigation, Donald Trump’s family trust and some of his associates have a small stake in Sanofi, the company that makes it.

Other aspects of Trump’s handling the COVID crisis are leading to cries of corruption. His briefings on the pandemic are, basically, a parade of CEOs who lavish praise on Trump. Some 57% of the U.S. population believes that the political system only works for those with money and influence…can’t imagine why that is.
