If you are listening to the news, cough, cough, and ESPN you will see more and more cases of the corona virus, Wuhan flu or whatever you want to call it being reported. Obviously more testing equals more cases.
You have all of the major sports leagues opening up in about a month. All of the riots put a lot of people in the streets. The “news” is reporting an alarming amount of young people coming down with the virus. Well no “duh” stupid what would you think the average age of all these people, may be, 25-49!! Professional athletes are not going to be 50 or over. When is the last time you saw a 60 year old in the streets looting and burning things down!!
If we re-visit the near history of lets say March, if it hasn’t been erased yet (inserted current political pun) we can see how the corona virus affects people. This virus does not seem to affect young people much, they may even not know they have it. Gee isn’t that asymptomatic!! The group it affects the most is 55 year old and up people and people with pre-existing conditions. The “news” is not mentioning asymptomatic or if these people are going to the hospital. Are the hospitals being overrun with these cases like they were, cough, cough, in March?
Another big push that has just started gaining steam is mandatory masks in public. Just the other day the Kansas governor signed and executive order making masks mandatory in public. Joe Biden even said as President he would make masks mandatory. Covid 19 is a flu, another strain of the flu. Apparently we can’t get this thru the thick skulls of those in charge!! Right now roughly 2,690,000 Americans have been infected, 129,000 have died and 98% recover. I am going to beat a dead horse, 40,000 to 60,000 die annually from the other six strains of the flu each year. If you take all of the deaths from the flu since Nancy Pelosi has been in office your winning number would be roughly 1,480,000.
Here is my take. There seems to be a lot of arrogance with our so called leaders that what they say will control Covid 19. They continue to use the media to scare the population into compliance. The first identified corona virus was in 1960, so you are going to tell me for 60 years we have been trying to control flu viruses. I would call that an epic fail. You can’t control a micro-organism so I suppose the next best thing to control is the population. People are going to continue to contract Wuhan flu no matter what you do! We know at this point what we are dealing with and to change the scare point every couple months just exposes your total lack of empathy towards your fellow humans. Every single life on this planet takes a certain risk when it walks out the door, cave or whole in the ground everyday. I will not live in fear, I do not live in fear. I like many Americans do my research and due diligence to weigh the risk of when I should walk out the door and when I should stay inside.
