Just two grumbles to begin.

Grumble No. 1: Now hear this, all you folks working at McDonalds. The face mask is supposed to cover both your mouth and your nose - because that's where the virus things fly in and out. I've often seen every employee in the kitchen wearing their masks gangsta style.

Grumble No. 2: Remember when "civilian-made" shopping bags were all the rage, after markets withdrew the cheap plastic ones? A few of us at that time questioned whether home-grown fabric bags used over and over again would stay clean. Well they have now become suspect as the happy hunting grounds of the plague - while free, clean plastic bags are back again!

I've changed my mind about universal isolation as a method to vanquish the coronavirus. After listening to the opinions of several eminently qualified physicians on the question of surviving this pandemic, it looks to me like herd immunity, creating antibodies, is the best way to go.

The choices are, one - to isolate everyone until the virus goes away - or, two - join the herd and spread your antibodies, creating immunity, caring also for the most vulnerable elderly and those with serious underlying conditions. We can isolate while our economy is collapsing - or free the young and healthy (including school children) while taking normal safety measures. "If all you do is flatten the curve, you don't prevent deaths or severe cases. You just change the dates. We don't want to do that," said Dr. David Katz.

In a Mark Levin video interview, Dr. Katz explains his (traditional) opinion clearly and simply. "Coronavirus vaccine or herd immunity are the only ways life can fully return to normal." Elsewhere, Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Avik Roy, agree.

Keep those most at risk secluded and provided for. But the rest of us should bust out and save our nation's dying financial life. It's time to get back to work! It appears to me, a common citizen, while the present "duck and cover" system lets us escape the immediate danger, it also makes us more susceptible to the next inevitable threat. Again, Dr. Katz; "the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center in Connecticut, has warned that while social distancing is helping to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus it is also preventing the development of the "herd immunity" needed by the public to resume their normal lives before a vaccine is developed.”

All this talk of death and destruction, it now clearly appears, was deliberately caused by communist China. Without firing a shot, China has infected the entire world, caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, infected millions, and done significant damage to America's military and financial structure. Reports show more than 25 US Navy ships have been infected with China's virus. Our troops have been infected, and at least one has died by this virus. World financial markets have been roiled, schools closed, and normal commercial activity halted.

China denies all culpability while aggressively seeking hegemony over Asia, especially over the South China Sea, through which trillions of dollars-worth of the world's goods go to market. China must pay for this attack. America should start by calling back those trillions of US trade dollars in China's banks. Then, we need more planes, ships, and munitions.

In dealing with our first and most lethal enemy, China, America has always been naive. American naiveté is just an invitation to steal and destroy to the nearly 3,000-member communist National People's Congress. Americans just don't seem to learn that there is no good in communism, period. We have acted foolishly with China over the years and suffered for it. China does not reciprocate in good faith; that's a Judeo-Christian idea - which President Xi Jinping just laughs at.

America, it's time to wake up, and arm-up.
