RE: A rant about the ability to know certain things, specifically in regard to the origin of the recent virus.

in #writing5 years ago

I have no idea where the virus came from, I do feel as if it is being hyped all out of proportion. I do believe it is not acting like a normal virus. Last I saw was 40 dead in the U.S., guess what 30 of those dead are in one state. One state out of 50, not counting the territories of the U.S. Of those 30 dead most of them are from one location. The virus has had plenty of time to travel, to spread through the population, but it seems to be very centralized in where the deaths occur.

You can look at Italy, the big poster child of the panic spreaders, Most of the deaths, well over 80% in Italy when I looked 2 days ago are in one province, one little corner of Italy, once again not behaving like a normal virus and only causing death to those in a pretty specific area.

What is obvious is that the Media and Governments are spreading fear among the people, at the end of the run on this virus will it have killed more people than the common flu? Killed more people than traffic accidents, or any other death stat they keep? I don't think so. AIDS, SARS, MERS, and now the virus we can't come up with a real name for because of political correctness,known as Covid-19 yesterday and who knows what it will be called next week, began as the Chinese Wuhan Flu, then corona virus.

It's a virus, normal everyday protection methods from contracting the normal every day flu will help prevent getting it.
