Yup....It's The Progressives Again

Terrible tale of the number of deaths in Italy......and how the Progressives are largely responsible.

See how it resonates here.


"Italy and #CoronaRacism
Mark PowellMarch 29, 2020




The health situation in Italy is dire. Tragically, over 8,000 people have died and around 80,000 people have caught COVID-19 giving it the second highest number of cases outside of China. The question is, what caused this to be the case?
Back in February, Dr Jing Zeng wrote in The Guardian that there was link whatsoever between COVID-19 and The People’s Republic of China. And those who dared to suggest that there was were guilty of #CoronaRacism.


As such, many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no intercultural link at all, and that it was simply because Italy has the second-oldest population on earth. But as Marcus Roberts responded in Mercatornet:

However, this doesn’t fully explain Italy’s predicament. The oldest country in the world is Japan, and it has managed to keep the number of infections and deaths to quite low levels.


So, what did Italy do that Japan didn’t? Well, the blame should probably be laid with progressive politicians who—under the guise of combatting racism—unwittingly facilitated the virus spreading throughout the entire Italian population. As Ellen Whinnett explains in The Daily Telegraph:
The first cases were detected in Italy on January 29 when two Chinese tourists fell ill in Rome. They had flown into Milan on a tour on January 23.
The diagnoses prompted Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to immediately announce a ban on flights from China – the first country to do so – and declare a six-month state of emergency.
But there was squeamishness from some quarters about the tough action, and the Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, launched a “hug a Chinese’’ day on February 1, calling for “unity in the common battle’’ and decrying racism against Chinese people in Italy.
The move prompted Italians to hug Chinese people in the northern Italian city and post images on social media.

Italy is now suffering one of the worst coronavirus tragedies on the planet, with around 80,000 infections, and 8215 people have died, giving the country a death rate of around 10 per cent. More people have died in Italy than in China.


This is sadly what happens when identity politics trumps common sense.

But it’s not racist to identify a certain disease as coming from a particular part of the world. (As this piece from The Federalist demonstrates, there are a plethora of diseases named after the places in which they originated). And as we’ve seen, it’s also not racist to protect the borders of one’s country from any potential threat from the outside.

Because as we’re seeing, the alternative is not only irrational, but ultimately, deadly."





Anyone notice that the same fear of the word 'racism' gave us the previous President?



What is the worst crime according to Progressives?

"Offending."

Especially offending their interest groups.


We saw how it amplified the problem in Italy, and in Spain.

And here, in New Jersey.


"Prosecutor Bans Cops From Asking Citizens To Tell Them If They Have Coronavirus
Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said that the requests were “totally inappropriate and therefore banned."

In an effort to help better protect first responders, several law enforcement agencies within the county began asking residents who tested positive for COVID-19 “to self-identify when seeking police assistance and/or to post notices on their residences,” Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella wrote in a directive on March 28. "



Progressives/Liberals should NEVER be allowed to wield power of any sort......not even as greeters in Walmart.
 
"Coronavirus: How "Progressive" Ideology Led to Catastrophe in Spain
  • A class action lawsuit filed on March 19 accuses the Spanish government — highly ideological by any standard, as the Communist coalition partner, Podemos, was founded with seed money from the Venezuelan government — of knowingly endangering public safety by encouraging the public to participate in more than 75 feminist marches, held across Spain on March 8, to mark International Women's Day.
  • The Spanish government's main point man for the coronavirus, Fernando Simón, claimed in a nationwide press conference that there was no risk of attending the rallies on March 8. "If my son asks me if he can go, I will tell him to do whatever he wants," he said.
  • "Honestly, it seems to me a joke that the government has waited until today, clearly for political reasons, to make this announcement. The Socialist-Communist government has once again put its political interests above the common good. This gross negligence should lead to resignations. — Elentir, Contando Estrelas, March 9, 2020."

Get it???

Just like Italy.....Progressive ideology spread the disease.


"The Spanish government, comprised of a coalition of Socialists and Communists, is facing legal action for alleged negligence in its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The government is accused of putting its narrow ideological interests ahead of the safety and wellbeing of the public, and, in so doing, unnecessarily worsening the humanitarian crisis now gripping Spain, currently the second-worst afflicted country in Europe after Italy. "

Wise up, America.

Was it progressive ideas or just a moron for a leader ?

I get they were feminists marches...but even if had been pro-life marches....the leader would still be a moron.

Jan 22 - Trump says - “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
despite other government official warning that it will get worse

Jan 30 - we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.

Feb 10 - Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat

April is here in two days

Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.

well as Trump makes boasts and try to sound like he is informed. Should he have been giving false information and putting a positive spin on something that was a disaster in the making. Instead of listening to the experts and preparing people with information like they are doing now. He should have done it in the beginning.

Back in February, Dr Jing Zeng wrote in The Guardian that there was link whatsoever between COVID-19 and The People’s Republic of China. And those who dared to suggest that there was were guilty of #CoronaRacism.


As such, many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no intercultural link at all, and that it was simply because Italy has the second-oldest population on earth. But as Marcus Roberts responded in Mercatornet:

However, this doesn’t fully explain Italy’s predicament. The oldest country in the world is Japan, and it has managed to keep the number of infections and deaths to quite low levels.


So, what did Italy do that Japan didn’t? Well, the blame should probably be laid with progressive politicians who—under the guise of combatting racism—unwittingly facilitated the virus spreading throughout the entire Italian population. As Ellen Whinnett explains in The Daily Telegraph:
The first cases were detected in Italy on January 29 when two Chinese tourists fell ill in Rome. They had flown into Milan on a tour on January 23.
The diagnoses prompted Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to immediately announce a ban on flights from China – the first country to do so – and declare a six-month state of emergency.
But there was squeamishness from some quarters about the tough action, and the Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, launched a “hug a Chinese’’ day on February 1, calling for “unity in the common battle’’ and decrying racism against Chinese people in Italy.
The move prompted Italians to hug Chinese people in the northern Italian city and post images on social media.

Italy is now suffering one of the worst coronavirus tragedies on the planet, with around 80,000 infections, and 8215 people have died, giving the country a death rate of around 10 per cent. More people have died in Italy than in China.


This is sadly what happens when identity politics trumps common sense.

But it’s not racist to identify a certain disease as coming from a particular part of the world. (As this piece from The Federalist demonstrates, there are a plethora of diseases named after the places in which they originated). And as we’ve seen, it’s also not racist to protect the borders of one’s country from any potential threat from the outside.

Because as we’re seeing, the alternative is not only irrational, but ultimately, deadly."




Anyone notice that the same fear of the word 'racism' gave us the previous President?
Progressives didn't actually do anything to exacerbate the situation in Italy. The Italian govt is a right wing populist rabble, rather like trumps posse. They have driven the response 100%.

I will be charitable and ascribe this lying thread to ignorance.



Wrong.

"Coronavirus: How "Progressive" Ideology Led to Catastrophe in Spain
  • A class action lawsuit filed on March 19 accuses the Spanish government — highly ideological by any standard, as the Communist coalition partner, Podemos, was founded with seed money from the Venezuelan government — of knowingly endangering public safety by encouraging the public to participate in more than 75 feminist marches, held across Spain on March 8, to mark International Women's Day.
  • The Spanish government's main point man for the coronavirus, Fernando Simón, claimed in a nationwide press conference that there was no risk of attending the rallies on March 8. "If my son asks me if he can go, I will tell him to do whatever he wants," he said.
  • "Honestly, it seems to me a joke that the government has waited until today, clearly for political reasons, to make this announcement. The Socialist-Communist government has once again put its political interests above the common good. This gross negligence should lead to resignations. — Elentir, Contando Estrelas, March 9, 2020."
  • Coronavirus: How "Progressive" Ideology Led to Catastrophe in Spain


Get it???

Just like Italy.....Progressive ideology spread the disease.


"The Spanish government, comprised of a coalition of Socialists and Communists, is facing legal action for alleged negligence in its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The government is accused of putting its narrow ideological interests ahead of the safety and wellbeing of the public, and, in so doing, unnecessarily worsening the humanitarian crisis now gripping Spain, currently the second-worst afflicted country in Europe after Italy. "

Wise up, America.


Jan 22 - Trump says - “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
despite other government official warning that it will get worse

Jan 30 - we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.

Feb 10 - Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat

April is here in two days

Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.

well as Trump makes boasts and try to sound like he is informed. Should he have been giving false information and putting a positive spin on something that was a disaster in the making. Instead of listening to the experts and preparing people with information like they are doing now. He should have done it in the beginning.

Is this the Hurricane Maria syndrome?

As such, many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no intercultural link at all, and that it was simply because Italy has the second-oldest population on earth. But as Marcus Roberts responded in Mercatornet:

However, this doesn’t fully explain Italy’s predicament. The oldest country in the world is Japan, and it has managed to keep the number of infections and deaths to quite low levels.


So, what did Italy do that Japan didn’t? Well, the blame should probably be laid with progressive politicians who—under the guise of combatting racism—unwittingly facilitated the virus spreading throughout the entire Italian population. As Ellen Whinnett explains in The Daily Telegraph:
The first cases were detected in Italy on January 29 when two Chinese tourists fell ill in Rome. They had flown into Milan on a tour on January 23.
The diagnoses prompted Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to immediately announce a ban on flights from China – the first country to do so – and declare a six-month state of emergency.
But there was squeamishness from some quarters about the tough action, and the Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, launched a “hug a Chinese’’ day on February 1, calling for “unity in the common battle’’ and decrying racism against Chinese people in Italy.
The move prompted Italians to hug Chinese people in the northern Italian city and post images on social media.

Italy is now suffering one of the worst coronavirus tragedies on the planet, with around 80,000 infections, and 8215 people have died, giving the country a death rate of around 10 per cent. More people have died in Italy than in China.


This is sadly what happens when identity politics trumps common sense.

But it’s not racist to identify a certain disease as coming from a particular part of the world. (As this piece from The Federalist demonstrates, there are a plethora of diseases named after the places in which they originated). And as we’ve seen, it’s also not racist to protect the borders of one’s country from any potential threat from the outside.

Because as we’re seeing, the alternative is not only irrational, but ultimately, deadly."




Anyone notice that the same fear of the word 'racism' gave us the previous President?
Progressives didn't actually do anything to exacerbate the situation in Italy. The Italian govt is a right wing populist rabble, rather like trumps posse. They have driven the response 100%.

I will be charitable and ascribe this lying thread to ignorance.



Wrong.

I have said before that it is a grave error to allow those who claim to be 'offended' to set the standards of society.
We should add the motto "Get Over It" to our currency. We’ve always had crazy people in America, but we didn’t used to take their guidance.
You have just re-quoted the original article. Nowhere have you pointed to a progressive politician having any impact on the Italian tragedy. The folk in charge are populist trash.



You must be quite the fool to miss/deny the connection.
