The architect of Obamacare and Joe Biden adviser Dr. Zeke Emanuel is generating shockwaves today with his prediction that all 320 million Americans need to prepare for coronavirus lockdown measures to last for the next 18 months.
Health officials estimate that finding and mass-producing a vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) could take that long.
Although Emanuel has no clout in the Trump administration, he would become an influential figure should Biden win the presidency – especially if Biden fears the virus could reemerge as was the case in the 1918-20 Spanish flu.
Per Fox News:
Emanuel, one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, is on the Biden campaign’s “Public Health Advisory Committee,” which is set up to “provide science-based, expert advice regarding steps the campaign should take to minimize health risks for the candidate, staff, and supporters,” according to a March press release.
His comments are partially consistent with statements from the Trump administration’s medical advisors and federal government documents on the pandemic. But they seem to paint a more grim picture of the country’s ability to roll back shutdowns of businesses and public life in general that are aimed at reducing the spread of the virus, which causes the disease known as COVID-19.
“Realistically, COVID-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications,” Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC’s “Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.”
“I know that’s dreadful news to hear,” the Biden adviser continued. “How are people supposed to find work if this goes on in some form for a year and a half? Is all that economic pain worth trying to stop COVID-19? The truth is we have no choice. … We cannot return to normal until there’s a vaccine. Conferences, concerts, sporting events, religious services, dinner in a restaurant, none of that will resume until we find a vaccine, a treatment, or a cure.”
Despite Emanuel’s prediction, there has been some promising news in the fight against COVID-19 this week. Hospitals in St. Louis and Orange County, California, have collected their first units of convalescent plasma. The blood was given from people who recovered from COVID-19 to give to people who are very sick right now.
Although scientific testing has not yet confirmed this method’s effectiveness in alleviating COVID-19 symptoms, the same strategy was employed to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV). For SARS and MERS patients, receiving convalescent plasma increased the likelihood of survival and shortened the time patients were on ventilators.

We haven’t forgot Zeke – he’ll be vigorously convicted along with the rest of the Obama Crew.

THIS IS THE MANIAC BRO OF THE DANCING F^ ^ ^ Y RHAM EMANUEL
WHO PROPOSED DEATH SQUADS TO LET SENIORS DIE WHEN HE WAS
FAUX PHONY FRAUD OBAMACARE’S EXPERT …….EXECUTION EXPERT.
EX VP BIDEN IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. PERIOD.
Biden’s not fit to be Dog Catcher!
When Biden Dies they are going to need a Auger to drill the grave and screw him into the ground!
Why does anyone listen to the moron who came up with Obamacare, He is an arrogant, radical who would very much like to destroy America. And since he did not do it with Obamacare, he will try it now with all the Democrat mayors of the country shutting down the economy when in truth, fewer people die from Corona than from FLU or drunk drivers.
Here is truth. Let EVERYONE get sick with corona and then get over it or die. Those who get bad sick can be put on respirators or given the Lupus drugs and get over it. This whole show is about destroying the economy. Note how upset they get when Trump mentions the drug that is working (the one for lupus) Can’t have a drug that works and keep the crisis going.
You have to be smarter than a dog.
Only a communist would make such a claim.
Here are the facts:
MOST people have mild cases and get over it. Less that 5% even wind up in hospitals. So why this irrational push to destroy our economy? That is just it. They need to take the economy down in order for ONE WORLD ORDER to be able to take control.
What’s even more horrible is the governors of the states that have banned the use of the drug just because Trump named it. They’re willing to let people die over politics, and people like that have no business being in any leadership position. They’ve always got some delusion to follow when it comes to Trump, the people that need the medications to save their lives be damned. dems should be ashamed of themselves but one must have a conscience to feel enough remorse to change their very hateful and very harmful behaviors.
As to our economy, I think dems are in for a huge shock. I don’t think it’s going to hurt Trump’s re-election one bit. Enough people realize that once we’re back to some normalcy, Trump’s the only one that can get our economy back on track, and very quickly as well. Look at our alternatives. Even with the virus the economy is doing better than any year under Obama and his buddy Biden. Given the history, only the intellectually challenged will believe Biden can now achieve what he and O together never could before. Trump’s going to be just fine and although I’m not a gambler, I’d be willing to bet money on that one. Be prepared for the loud crying and howling come Nov.
Most Americans know that if he was elected sleepy Joe Biden would not be leading our country. More likely Jill would be telling him what to say/do like she is now. She would be taking orders from people like Nancy, Schumer, Schiff, etc. and they would be taking orders from Deep State elites and we would be in the swamp.

Only on MSNBC and CNN will you see obama’s leftover trash interviewed and making false statements about something they know little of. Thid guy’s a quack and most probably a thief too!
Sirdikfan,
BHo. must be scared his legacy is going to hell.
There should be no way Biden ever becomes President for his mental condition implies that would be totally incompetent to be Pres, so if that were to happen he would only be a figurehead and would be controlled by unelected handlers! Go Trump MAGA!
Typical of a liberal. They live on control, on forcing others to do as they think best. They are the opposite of what has made our Country great.
Biden was told sanders was dropping out of the contention. Biden said good when do I take the oath?
Can you think of a better way to take total control of the people?
Anyone who votes for Biden must be brain dead,come to think of it aren’t most dem voters dead people.

Surprise Surprise….Not! They (the left) think a squashed economy bolsters their chances of winning or at least minimizing their bloodbath. They have NO concern for the people it’s just a another sycophant twist to gain the only thing they wish and crave. Power. ” Never let a good crisis go to waste “
Don’t panic folks – corporate America or the markets will never ever allow this to continue that long much less go into may
Emanuel is a schizophrenic. He belongs in a straight jacket.
Such baloney. Biden and this guy need to be locked down.
“The truth is we have no choice. … We cannot return to normal until there’s a vaccine. Conferences, concerts, sporting events, religious services, dinner in a restaurant, none of that will resume until we find a vaccine, a treatment, or a cure.”
Spoken like the true leftist that he is. Of course we have choices. We have lots of choices. But not under the Communist-style rule these people envision, where the government controls everything. Under the type of government they want you only have two choices. Do what we tell you to do, or face the consequences. Notice how his statement takes on the air that HE is in charge. “[N]one of that will resume”. Not ‘none of that should resume’. No, “none of that will resume”. Even his opinion comes off as a tyrannical order.
Still a. Schmuck!
I’m not going to lock down and still move around as I please now. The Doc can kiss my butt.
I’ll agree if this idiot surrenders a percentage of his net worth to the US treasury that matches the average middle class wage earner loses this year.
It’s morons like this who are rich and never have to live the poor life want thai country to live.
biden is lost,we will be voting trump, we do not need a obamas doctor,to tell us any thing at all,
Comments like this is what the Democratic Party is hoping will happen so if they win the Presidency they can implement their socialist agenda. They want the State ( government ) to take care and provide for all.
Let us NOT let this happen Trump 2020
This is the brother of Rahm Emanual….aka: Obama’s brain….
Please tell me what Biden is talking about

Hey Zeke, this for your lockdown: ?
GOD, Forgive them, for they know not, what they say……Help them to KNOW YOU….
Why does anyone interview a guy that has no problem killing off people for any number of reasons. As if anything he says can be taken with a grain of salt.
Another lock-step Socialist hungry for power over others.
