WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?
Look I'm not trying to make light of the situation. I understanding the servity and that this is real world stuff but I like to think of myself as a realist, and the fact of the matter is the numbers are not adding up, neither is the news. I know what you're going to say, "this is just the beginning, the testing isn't out there, other countries had it before us and everybody's dying over there." Blase blase blase. One of the greatest lessons I was taught in life is to never outsmart my common sense, and nobody has made this makes sense to me, so excuse me if I'm not freaked out, climbing in the dog's cage and quarantining myself, especially when I go to my local grocery store to see there's no toilet paper, but you go to the vitamin aisle, the stuff that can actually build your immune system and fight off illness and viruses and you can get that shit for a BOGO discount. Please believe me I really do want to take this serious, so serious that I have watch more news in the last 2 weeks than I probably have in the last 2 years, just trying to grasp the severity level of what we're dealing with. Another one of my greatest lessons in life was to control you intake on certain things. One of our greatest failures, in my opinion as a society, is how much of suckers we are for the media, how much the media controls and sways our emotions and outlook on life. Like seriously people what every happen to principals and values. I've never considered myself the smartest guy in the world, I award that title to Amazon sellers who's attempting to price gouge and the people who's buying up all the sanitizer and selling it for 20 times what it's worth, you guys also get the biggest asshole award as well. While not being the smartest, I thank God for my ability to decipher from whats real and all the bullshit the media try to sell me.
FEAR-MONGERING
Okay I was a little mean to the American hustlers in the last few sentences. I mean how can we be so upset with them, There just doing what they were taught by the US government. I have a few questions for you, last I checked it was about 680 deaths due to coronavirus in the US, why is the US people talking about the death toll in Italy? I'll tell you why because that number is so much bigger and it's a lot more scarier? This is what fear-mongering is. Oh but wait I have another question for you, at 680+ everybody says that we're on our way to be like Italy. Germany on other hand, out of all their outbreaks(16,000+) just 44 deaths, my question is why can't we be on that trail why must we be on Italy's trail? Oh but John, Germany so small it's not even bigger than some of the states in the u.s., this is very true but if we we do it off a percentage basis which again, I'm not the smartest, so I don't know the exact #'s, it don't matter how big or small the place is. This is what fear-mongering is. Oh but please give me one more question, why is the US the richest country in the world, but have such of a shortage to access of test for Coronavirus? It makes it really hard for us to hear the outcry and worry about our health care workers, when we can't even worry about our own health and health care.
REALITY AS I BELIEVE IT TO BE.
I think we all know this country became the richest country in the world because it was built upon and ran off money. No matter what virus came about, that's always been the case and even with Coronavirus that still don't change. So regardless of how much fear you live with everyday, regardless if you don't want to go out in public, regardless of you neglecting your relationship with your parents, your grandparents and your older siblings and family members out of fear, the fact of the matter is that this economy has been suffering and suffering bad, state and local officials everywhere around the country shutting things down, sports has stop, which here means the world has stopped, businesses are hurting many small business will never recover. How long do you think this is going to last? How long do you think Donald Trump is it going to let this last, do you really think in an election year he's going to let the economy crash under his watch? Do you think the top money getters in the United States, The top companies that make the country go, sports teams, do you think they're going to continue to miss out on all the money; millions and billions of dollars they're missing out on while operations are shut down? They saying 3 to 4 months, well let me tell you, wait to see, it will not be three to four months of economic shutdown. Reality is The economy won't make it that long, the world wouldn't last. Moralistically I know it seems wrong, unethical, inhumane, and cold. But as my friend who worked in baseball as a president, David Sampson always tell his players, " it was never personal, it's just business."
The truth about viruses people, there are so many out there, I need an entire separate post in order to name, describe and give you the effects of every virus that's out there. Even more scarier, there's so many out there that we don't even know about, that we haven't discovered. It's not something you can control, or stop. How many different timelines is out there about when and where coronavirus started, nobody knows, folks probably been walking around out here with it, didn't even know it, thinking It was the common cold or even the flu. The symptoms that it carries is no different, there is no way to know the difference between what you got unless you go get tested but as I mentioned before in the US, unless your a professional athletes, or big person in Hollywood, or a government official your going to have a hard time getting tested for it. Ironically we paying for our own doing and inflation in our health care but that can be another post in itself. What's also ironically the way you avoid the viruses, is by doing this shit you should be doing everyday. Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze, keep your hands to yourself, ah you get the point you know the etiquette. For every virus there has been we never found a cure, you know why? You don't cure virus. So it makes me question what is all this for, what is this economic shutdown for and all about? Ah it's the ways to flatten the curve.... How do you flatten a curved when you can't even get people test to know where the right number is, literally where do you start? Because I'll tell you this, shutting down economy where people can't work, trying to keep everybody in their house you're not flattening anyting, if anything you merely just delay in it. H1N1, SARS, swine flu, all these viruses, they balanced themselves out, and so will Coronavirus. It's time to get a grip people because if you quarantine yourself long enough you're going to get to the point where coronavirus is the least of your worries.
