Today Show’s Covid Conundrum

The Today Show is dumbfounded as to why heavily locked down Blue States are currently fairing much worse than recently re-opened Red States.

They go on to hypothesize several reasons that could explain this puzzling contradiction…

But one rather obvious explanation was left unexplored. Maybe the “experts” don’t know what the hell they are talking about. Maybe Fauci and the CDC were right 12 months ago when they said putting a piece of cloth over your face would do next to nothing to stop the spread of a virus like covid. Maybe it’s damn near impossible to isolate people enough to stop a virus from spreading. Maybe there is no government agency that can spare us from the effects of this plague. No ritual we can perform that will save us.

Faith in government to have the competency to solve any and every problem is an unspoken assumption of the modern left. It never even occurs to them that a career bureaucrat like Fauci might not have all the answers when it comes to how to best navigate through this pandemic. Or a sleazy dullard like Joe Biden who never created a thing of value in half a century of political life might not be the one to blindly follow. As the evidence continues to mount that the virus ebbs and flows in random ways despite what we do to stop it, the cognitive dissonance of the members of the Church of Big Government keeps growing.
