As of July 10, the CDC has reported 3,106,931 coronavirus cases in the U.S. That means only 0.94% (less than 1 percent) of Americans have even contracted the virus. That's if you believe the numbers.
I have issues with how the cases are counted. In some places, the numbers get inflated when a person is tested more than once. For instance, when a person is hospitalized with the virus, that patient may be tested three or four times during his hospital stay. Each time the test comes back positive, it is sometimes counted as a new case. Death counts are also being fudged with people who test positive counting as COVID deaths even if they died in an accident.
Coronavirus is bad, but is it bad enough to shut down businesses, close schools and cancel many events? That didn't happen during the H1N1 and SARS outbreaks. So why now?
It's part of the plan to create fear in a majority of the U.S. population. But citizens aren't afraid of the people in power who are responsible for the removal of their freedoms. Instead, they're fearful of their friends and family. The government has shown how easily people assimilate to "guidelines" (that have NO scientific premise whatsoever) when they are fearful.
No one wants to get sick, but most people are smart enough to take the necessary precautions.
We don't need the government to tell us what events are acceptable or unacceptable to attend. Riots are OK, family funerals are not. Standing in a graduation line is a "safety hazard", but feel free to line up at Walmart, Lowes and Home Depot.
The government successfully dictated the closing of family-owned businesses while granting authority to large corporations that they have invested interests in. Sen. Rand Paul said the closing of businesses did little to stop the spread of the virus but crippled the economy.
When the economy started to bounce back too quickly, states began another round of closings in an attempt to sabotage the economic recovery and hurt President Trump's re-election chances. It's all about politics, stupid!
Then, there's the mandates to wear masks even though the New England Journal of Medicine confirms that masks do little to nothing to prevent the spread of the virus in normal interactions. It requires a prolonged interaction to exchange the virus.
I can't believe so many people do not question
authority because they see that authority as "all knowing." It's even
more terrifying that these same people rely on corrupt "leaders" to be
led.
I don't want anyone to get sick or die from the virus, but there's more at stake here than our health. Our freedoms are under attack. I hope people remember that when they go to the polls in November.
