20 May 2020 – <\/em>“COVID-19 is America’s karmic payback for callously murdering all those babies in Iraq and Syria,” stated Madam Jane this morning.\u00a0 “Karma’s a bitch.”<\/p>\n

“Stop, just stop it!” I screamed at her, horrified.\u00a0 “This time you have gone too far.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I know what I know.\u00a0 I see what I see,” said Madam Jane.\u00a0 “Millions dead in the Middle East.\u00a0 Brutally dead.\u00a0 Blown up, shot, poisoned, beheaded, starved, jailed, tortured, murdered by America’s imperial forces — murdered without mercy in Syria and Palestine and Iraq and Afghanistan and Yemen and Lebanon and Libya….”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“No!\u00a0 No!” I shouted.\u00a0 “These two tragedies are not<\/i> the same!\u00a0 Innocent Americans are dying here.\u00a0 Our elders.\u00a0 Our doctors.\u00a0 No!\u00a0 You are wrong!\u00a0 Get out of my house!”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

“But I see what I see,” said Madam Jane.\u00a0 “A few Americans dead.\u00a0 Less than 0.05% at the most.\u00a0 Yet we wail and gnash our teeth and go into hiding like it was Armageddon.\u00a0 Well, I had a dream.”\u00a0 https:\/\/unherd.com\/thepost\/professor-karol-sikora-fear-is-more-dangerous-than-the-virus\/<\/a><\/p>\n

“What can you possibly dream that is crueler than this — that the American economy is ruined?\u00a0 Our children afraid and our grandmothers dead?\u00a0 Our freedoms gone, our dreams destroyed, our cities ruled by martial law, everyone suspicious of their neighbors?\u00a0 Our businesses closed forever?\u00a0 Not enough medicine?\u00a0 Not enough doctors and nurses?\u00a0 Our leaders telling us lies about the wonders of deregulation while enabling greedy oligarchs to steal our life savings and the Federal Reserve prints up Monopoly money and pretends that it’s real?\u00a0 Our schools shut down, eviction just around the corner, our grocery store shelves soon to be empty — and our stomachs too?\u00a0 What can possibly be crueler than this!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

M.J. just kept rattling off statistics and shite.\u00a0 Thankfully there was no Power Point presentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I covered my ears.\u00a0 I didn’t want to hear any more.\u00a0 Blasphemy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

“What you have just described,” she calmly continued, “is just one more average day in Gaza, just another typical day in Damascus, just one average day in Sana’a, another average day in Kabul.\u00a0 Greedy Americans and their totalitarian allies have destroyed the Middle East for fun and profit.\u00a0 And, like all those endless ‘wars’ that our televisions constantly teach us to love so much, there clearly isn’t any exit strategy for our COVID nightmare here either.”\u00a0 https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/news\/inflammatory-syndrome-affecting-children-kawasaki-disease-covid-19-or-something-else\/<\/a><\/div>\n

“No.\u00a0 I refuse to accept that,” I said.\u00a0 “You are clearly not Galileo.\u00a0 These two nightmares are not the same.\u00a0 COVID is not karmic retribution.\u00a0 COVID is just a disease.\u00a0 Wait six months.\u00a0 You’ll see!”\u00a0 https:\/\/medium.com\/@tepper_jonathan\/ground-zero-when-the-cure-is-worse-than-the-disease-3c513d91393d<\/a><\/p>\n

Madam Jane simply shrugged.\u00a0 “You just keep telling yourself that.”\u00a0 I shut the door in her face.<\/p>\n
