Funny thing. Wuhan Flu edition.

The London Daily Mail by way of Don Surber:

California is at the breaking point: COVID-19 patients in ambulances are waiting EIGHT HOURS before entering ERs as ICUs run out of capacity and hard-hit LA County probes whether the new, more contagious strain is spreading locally
Hospitals in Southern California are so overrun by COVID-19 cases that doctors are running low on supplies of oxygen, infected patients are forced to wait eight hours in ambulances before they can enter an emergency room, and intensive care units are fully booked with no more beds available.

The skyrocketing surge in COVID-19 cases is raising suspicions among public health officials in Los Angeles County that a new, more contagious variant of the coronavirus is fueling the outbreak.

California's deadly Christmas was marked by pleas to avoid holiday gatherings outside the home and indoor church services in what could be a make-or-break effort to curb a coronavirus surge that already has filled some hospitals well beyond normal capacity.

Doctors say California is currently experiencing a 'viral tsunami' with COVID-19 cases surging by a staggering 68 percent in the past two weeks alone and ICU beds now at capacity in the southern part of the state.

California surpassed 2 million recorded cases of the deadly virus earlier this week, but experts predict that number will rapidly rise as residents gather to celebrate Christmas and New Year.

Of course.  They were stupid.

Viruses - all viruses: COVID, influenza, rhinovirus (common cold) are seasonal.  They go away in summer and return in winter. The healthy population of California should have been allowed to go about their business mask-free, catch the damn thing and then become immune to it. This way, there would be a lot fewer carriers when winter rolled around.

Also, cosseting the immune system is stupid.  Shielding it from every bug that comes along only makes it get weaker and weaker.  A person's immune system needs a constant challenge.  This is especially the case with newborns and the very young. Untold damage is being done to their future health.

What the Democrat governors are doing - playing power games - is unconscionable. They need to stop. Unfortunately, the low-information voter will not see this.  All they see and believe is the constant drumbeat narrative on CNN and their ilk.
