I went for my yearly physical today and got an AOK. I mention to the doctor that I think I had
Corona Virus a year ago. I had a pretty
bad case of the flu, but it didn’t stop me from going to work. Two weeks after I recovered, I put a bagel in
the toaster oven and went back to my paperwork. After a while, I noticed that
the dog was barking a lot and my glasses looked awful dirty. Then the smoke
alarm went off. My bagel was on fire in
the toaster oven. I put the toaster fire out and noticed that the timer
didn’t stop at zero it went past it, and kept on toasting. At this point I
realized that I could not smell anything.
That explained why food didn’t really taste very good lately. I had lost my sense of smell. My doctor said that he had many cases that
started in January, a year ago, including his wife. He mentioned that he was at a loss as to why
the media had not picked up on this.
Right now, the media has kept the death count from last year
of 300, 000 and continued on this year adding to it. This is what I call yellow Journalism. Exaggeration for readership and political influence. The death count for this year should have
started at zero and it didn’t. 79
percent of the people dying from the disease are over the age of 65. People do die from old age, don’t let the
Corona Virus take all of the blame. 99.9
percent of the population will survive the disease, so why the panic?
The news media has panicked the nation. It makes good copy and sells advertising. People are frozen in place in terror because
of the news media. “My god, I could kill
someone by not wearing my mask” this projected suggestion to the public is
blatantly wrong. The truth is most of us
can go out and do business with no problem.
Remember the first restrictions were to lower the curve so
hospitals could accommodate the patients.
It was not pointed out to anyone that the area under the curve remained
the same, the same number would die only over a longer period of time.
I think we will find out, that most people will get the Corona
Virus and survive. It is a form of the cold virus and it has been around forever. I think we will also discover that the
death counts for other diseases like heart disease, will drop considerably from
previous years, from fear to consult a doctor. The total death rate for the nation will be
above 2.7 million per year. But bear in mind the average reader has no visual
concept of 2.7 million people dying each year normally. This has panicked the masses, the perspective
of 80,000 drug deaths, 40,000 car deaths, 70,000 Influenzas deaths has left the
people with no perspective of how to interpret the data.
The yellow press impresses upon us, that 300,000 died last year
from Corona Virus. People do die of old
age and it is usually after the age of 65.
Funny how elderly people are not supposed to die from Corona Virus, but rather
from old age. How many of the people
that died had one foot on a banana peel?
