Covfefe-19

Yes, the virus has separated us, isolated us, shaken us. But it can’t take away our sense of incredulity. We are more aware than ever that the government is capable of using a massive public health emergency as a cover for shameless corruption.

We know what we’ve been told:

That a slightly deranged magician in rural Oregon known as The Great Baked Potato bit the head off of a ferret during a holiday-themed children’s show in mid-December 2019. That within a week of the ferret incident a still-asymptomatic The Great Baked Potato (aka Ron Smate) performed his magic act at an assisted living facility in Three Forks called Meadows of the Hills (coincidentally, a franchise of The Polyps at Jonathan Winters Elder Care Corp, a subsidiary of Blendvenom Solutions, Inc, the parent company of this podcast), a meatpacking plant in Goldendale and at a giant funeral in Salem.

Because The Media fears the Deep State and does its bidding, we’ve heard less about the Redmond Institute of Virology.

R.I.V., located in Oregon’s interior just north of Bend, is a BSL-4 level biosafety facility. Meaning the work there deals with potentially fatal agents that can be aerosol-transmitted and for which there are no available vaccines or treatments. R.I.V., it turns out, had a team working with ferrets, which share many physiological features with humans and are used as experimental models for influenza and respiratory disease testing.

We’ve also heard very little about the escape of at least 230 ferrets from R.I.V. in mid-December. Nor have we heard much about how The Great Baked Potato himself lives just half a mile from the barbed-wire protected front gates of — yes — the Redmond Institute of Virology.

In mid-February, the World Health Organization named the disease caused by the virus, Coronavirus Ferret Fever, or Covfefe-19.
