Congratulations to our “elected” officials, the government bureaucrats, the media, and our medical community. They have seized power, improved reelection opportunities, raised their ratings, and increased their celebrity. They did all this by instilling fear in America. We were told we had to “flatten the curve.” Done. We were told we didn’t have enough ventilators. We now have so many we are sending them to other countries. We were told we didn’t have enough PPE.
