Virus: Learn from Kiwis and we’ll beat this thing
It’s interesting that in over 70 recent COVID-19 studies, none mentions New Zealand.
New Zealand is the only pandemic winner so far. They got to zero. If we copy their success, in 11 weeks we will beat COVID, too.
What is the trick? Eleven weeks of stay at home. The government pays you to stay at home. Break the rules and go to jail for real.
Follow original CDC and WHO advice. Masks are optional.
Get the money by increasing the money supply and the usual tricks with bonds. Do a financial analysis for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that proves this method is less expensive than two more years of waiting for the virus to burn itself out naturally.
Or we can keep muddling about and continue bankrupting Phase 3 and Phase 4 businesses. Then we will have to endure rioting as mainstream people go to the streets for justice.
Or we can let people go back to work at their own risk. People can individually make decisions and create their own bubbles. Allowing people to work and put food on the table avoids rioting.
