This Week: Societal, economic, and health care emergency policies appear to be mainly driven by a single model. Why are we ignoring other studies? Has there been an overreaction? Why are we ignoring other studies? Like the one from Oxford that shows all this quarantining is disrupting the natural and normal process of developing “herd immunity.”
Overreaction to the Corona Virus Numbers: Feardemic?
We talk with Dr. Bud Pierce to get his take. As a doctor and the former Republican candidate for governor. What would have done? Has this been a massive overreaction?
And what’s up with Gov. Kate Brown limiting access to COVID19 drugs? She says she doesn’t want to have hospitals overrun — so why not allow people access to hydroxychloroquine to prevent them from needing hospitalization?
Why was Oregon so incredibly unprepared for an emergency?
We spend BILLIONS in Oregon on health care. Every year.
With all that cash, I think a better question is why wasn’t Oregon better prepared?
Was there zero planning? So far we’ve had 400 cases. You mean to tell me w/ those billions, Oregon wasn’t prepared to handle 400 cases?

Ask the Doctor
Dr. Bud Pierce will be on again next week. If you have a question you’d like to ask, just email them to mark@ispyradio.com or tweet them to @ispyradio.
How petty and partisan is #Oregon‘s Gov. Kate Brown?
Trump authorizes access to billions in relief $$
But Kate can’t even bring herself to thank him, instead says she “appreciate[s] the responsiveness of Vice President Pence”#ORpol #ORcot@Oregon_GOP @ORSenateRs @RealOWFT pic.twitter.com/zXE35M0oEM

And what about China?
Was China and the spread of the corona virus a massive intelligence failure? How did our intel community drop the ball so badly on this? Could it have been intentional?
Since you’re trapped inside anyway, be sure to check out Scott’s latest book: Trigger Mechanism. Great for young adults but adults will love it too
Before you shake your head, thinking that’s not possible, remember: in 2017, Democrats and the mainstream media were urging the intelligence community to not give President Trump accurate intelligence briefings and to withhold information. Still sound far-fetched?
We talk with best-selling author, Scott McEwen about it. Scott’s books are all about the military and intelligence, so no surprise he is talking to people in the military and intelligence communities.
And the big question: so what do we do next year? When there’s another virus or another strain of this one?
