First Published March 20, 2020 in Creative Destruction Media this article might well be subtitled “how it started and how it will end” but at the time of writing there was no telling how long America and the world would have to endure the COVID-19 mitigation efforts. “15 Days to slow the spread” was an unprecedented ask and it transformed civic society as the days turned to weeks, months and years of psychological oppression.
On January 14, 2020 the New York Times had front page news on topics like Iran’s fragile economy (which, it turns out was getting a lot of help from China) and the Democrats impeachment of the president. The paper covered stories about rural Venezuela’s collapse, Prince Harry and Meghan’s ‘New Life’ and Apple Inc.’s reluctance to unlock a murder’s iPhone. Headlines from that midwinter fish wrapper like “Iowans, Famously Indecisive, Worry the 2020 Race Is ‘a Mess’” or “BlackRock C.E.O. Larry Fink: Climate Crisis Will Reshape Finance” are hilarious with a Spring day’s hindsight. The Editorial Board put together a special section called “The Choice” which detailed private interviews each of the nine remaining Democratic candidates subjected themselves to so they might win an endorsement from “the paper of record.” That same Board of big brains wrote an insolent editorial titled “You Call That Transparency, Mr. President?” which questioned the veracity of the executive branch of US federal government. China had been dealing with a pathogen called the Wuhan Coronavirus for over a month but The New York Times wasn’t interested in the Chinavirus.

2020 Year of the Rat |
On 01/14/2020 the World Health Organization tweeted out the news that Chinese authorities saw no transmission of the virus between human hosts. Chinese New Year was 10 days away and nobody in the CCP wanted to disrupt the Year of the Rat celebration. Who would believe the Chinese authorities on a topic as significant as a potential world wide pandemic? WHO would, that’s who and corporate media followed WHO’s lead by downplaying the news of the viruses relentless growth. The next day the USA and China signed “Phase 1” of a new trade deal relaxing some tariffs imposed on Chinese imports while China agreed to buy more American products.

“Party and government officials, especially the leading officials, must always stay on their jobs and stand at the frontline to safeguard social stability and ensure people have a peaceful and merry Chinese New Year festival, Xi said.”
The Peoples Daily
By the end of the month on Jan. 28 Chairman Xi declared, “The virus is a devil and we cannot let the devil hide.” China agreed to let WHO send a team of international experts “as soon as possible” to increase understanding of the virus and guide the global response. On January 30 the first two cases were identified in Italy and WHO officially designated Chinavirus (COVID-19) a “global emergency.” Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made it clear that WHO, “does not recommend limiting travel, trade and movement (of the population) and even opposes any travel restrictions.” The next day president Trump imposed travel restrictions on Chinese nationals to prevent them from entering the US mainland.
The Chinese Communist Party suppressed initial reports on the Chinese Virus and punished doctors and journalists, causing Chinese and international experts to miss critical opportunities to prevent a global pandemic.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown February 04, 2020 In 2011 Steven Soderbergh made a CDC supported film of predictive programming titled “Contagion” which plays as a prescient 10 year old futurist documentary of the Chinavirus crisis. The Iowa Caucus gave We the People a dry-run of the 2020 presidential election made a mockery of our elections process.
What Time Is It? March 22, 2020 Here we have a foreshadowing of election fraud in the “process” exemplified in (D) primary battles using the COVID-19 pandemic as the cover for blatant corruption and negation of the democratic process. The “cancel culture” which swept America during the health crisis was initiated with the sad expulsion of Flavor Flav from the band Public Enemy for the crime of NOT endorsing Bernie Sanders for president. The weakness of the Democrat nominee for president was obvious and China’s culpability in releasing the COVID-19 plague upon the world irrefutable.
