Why Covid 19 is great!

The vast majority of people who are at risk for covid 19 are the elderly and those were underlying serious health issues.
This accounts for 1-2 percent of the world population that will perish from this though stats are being inflated or underdone based on perspective and agenda.
First let me say that I do feel that we should care for the sick and the elderly and do all we can to bring them comfort, safety and do all we can to increase their health and lifespan......but!
Why are the healthy and the young required to destroy their businesses, file for unemployment, lock them selves in their homes and sacrifice all that is dear to them for an indefinite, undetermined amount of time?
There are ways we can all make efforts to protect these vulnerable people without being forced to shut down our economy and alter our lives to these unreasonable levels.
Why does the burden not fall on the sick and elderly and fall on all of society in this collectivist authoritarian manner?
If the elderly and sick wish to extended their life spans they should purchase medical grade papr's and respirators and wear them all the time.
With this level of shutdown and drastic measures I do not think it is unreasonable to request that the sick and elderly wear medical grade bio hazmat suits.
With all of the subsidies the government has doled out we could have afforded to distribute this kind of material to the at risk demographics of America.
They can self quarantine.
If an individual feels they are at risk and death terrifies them to this extreme level then why not move yourself into hermitage?
Move off into remote areas and lock your doors.
Wear masks and gloves if it makes you feel better and cut off connection with your friends, community and family.
If this is what you want then by all means do it.
This is America and you are welcome to freedom to live any way you want.
But why is your life so damn important?
If you have serious underlying health issues then lets address the majority of people suffering from those issues.
Most people who are at risk are overweight and many are morbidly obese.
Many are suffering from diabetic issues brought on from their own poor diets and habits.
many are habitual smokers who have continued to destroy their lungs throughout the years.
Others are drug addicts and people who have destroyed their health with alcoholism.
These are people who never exercise and eat foods they should not eat.
These are people who have diets composed primarily of junk food.
These are people who invest their money into vice rather than health and the future.
These are people who would most likely survive this virus without a hitch if they actually gave a damn about their lives but now why is it this travesty if they are to die from this virus?
These are people for whom the sands of time are running extremely low as it is and now I am expected to stop the world for people who are shortening their life span daily from all fault of their own?
Why is it so terrible that instead of meeting their end 1-10 years from now they bite the dust a few months from now?
This virus should motivate this demographic and all of us as a whole to take care of our health.
This should motivate us to live better lives and be strong and get stronger or else.
This virus should push us all to be the best we can be and take personal responsibility for our lives and build physical and mental strength.
In the case of the elderly of course they should be protected and cared for but nursing homes are nests of covid 19.
I understand that there are people who have no other option than a nursing home type facility when their minds and health fail but far too many people are leaving their families in these facilities when it is not necessary.
Find safe quarters for your elderly family members and if they are so frail that something like covid 19 can kill them then they should be living out their final days in quarantine as it is.
But can we ask ourselves why is it so important for the elderly and for those of us who are young why is it so important to live a lifespan that surpasses 75?
I know 70 something year olds and 80 something year olds who live very productive lives and I am sure there are people who are near centurion age that are productive and living great lives but they are not the norm.
A large number of people being sustained with modern technology and medicine are not living productive or healthy lives when they surpass 80 years old.
a great deal are lonely, suffering and in constant pain mentally and physically.
Why is it so imperative that they live another 1-10 years?
The reason as far as I can tell is constant fear of death.
I have faced down death more than once in my life.
I like most anyone have a fear of death and the will to survive but I accept that I will at some point die.
I have been living the most productive and full life I can live and have on various occasions volunteered to work in operate in extremely dangerous areas.
I worked in Northern Iraq in regions where ISIS was active only 9-10 kilometers in any given direction.
I worked with old and young men who were fighting to keep ISIS away from their communities and accepted that they very well could die at any moment.
Many I met had been shot and others were missing toes from frost bite from long patrols in the snowy mountains of Kurdistan.
They accepted that death could reach them at any time. Not to mention TB and various diseases abound in the region.
I accepted that I could lose my life but that there were things greater than just me.
I know soldiers from the USA and various regions of Africa who have faced death daily and few want to die but all accept it as a fate that we all must meet.
But in the USA it seems the average American is paralyzed by it.
I believe all life has worth and value but cowardice and living a life of terror is no existence that I want to take part in.
We should all take measures to protect ourselves and all other people.
If you have a cold wearing a mask is a great idea.
The Japanese have been practicing that for ages and it is a good custom but attacking people who are healthy for not wearing your costume of conformity and fear is not something I wish to be apart of.
Take your shoes off before you enter a home, wash your hands and use hand sanitizer if you want but for the love of god lets end the hysteria.
I lived in Haiti surrounded by malaria, dengue and I myself suffered a horrible bought of typhoid.
I did not lock myself away from the world while living in Haiti nor did the rest of the populace.
If our ancestors hid themselves away in fear then we would have never reached any accomplishment as a race, in fact we would have surely perished due to mass cowardice.
Enough is enough time to get back to living and if you don't want to then die.
Be strong, get stronger because the world is a tough place.
America and the west has been coddled too long.
Time to toughen up or else you wont make it.
We have now seen the true cowardice of the common man in the west and its time we see cowards build strength or perish.
We can and should continue to protect all people but we need to stop cultivating weakness and cowardice.
This is an opportunity to build strength and courage and if you refuse to then go hide and self quarantine from the world.
I however refuse to live in a state of hysteria.

My dystopian dream.

The reason that dystopian novels and movies appeal to the masses is because the contrast to our real life situation is so jarring and foreign, yet simultaneously feels familiar and close, so possible and just around the corner if we make some unknown future wrong turn. We can see tiny pieces of that fictional dystopian society around us, hence the familiarity, even if it's a safe and amusing familiarity we can deal with. We feel like those small annoyances, like the droning television screens imbedded in gas pumps around the county, are insignificant enough for now. We feel like we can still turn that situation around before it progresses too far past simple aesthetics.

The problem with this thinking is demonstrated by the oft-cited the adage about boiling a frog. A dystopian society is a slow burn, not a quick turn. We are always looking for that quick turn, and in the meantime we have completely missed the boil that seems to be rolling at this point.

I had a dream last night. I was standing at a gas pump hearing that damned Orwellian "telescreen". It's not looking back at us quite yet, but then again, all you have to do is look up, left and then right to see three cameras pointed right at you. So what is the difference? Back to my dream. Half listening to the news or some other blather, I look up and notice a big red-colored billboard. It has a close-up of a young tan woman wearing a mask over her nose and mouth. The message in plain black script says "Do the right thing, stay home!"

I woke up this morning and was thinking about that dream, and told my wife. She noted that the billboard is real. In town about thirty minutes south of us there is a BP gas station with a billboard across the street that is exactly like the one in my dream, except that the script says "Be a hero, stay home." They haven't put the exclamation point on the billboards, yet.

I went to Walmart the other day for the first time in a couple months. I had not seen the new process there. Now there is a path to walk through, a minder is standing there counting the people going in while someone else counts the people leaving. Again, look up, left and then right to see three sets of cameras staring at you. The floor inside has some suspiciously permanent-looking decals that tell you which direction to walk through the aisles. Walking opposite of them garners some glares that are amusing until the fourth or fifth time. Most people are wearing masks, of course. Maybe it's time for me to wear one just so the cameras above me and to my left and right can work for their money. The Walmart here has telescreens too, advertising the Chinese-made product that is directly next to them.

I spoke with an ER physician where I work the other day. As grounded and discerning as anyone I know, this physician suspects there is something going on behind the scenes, because our "leaders" in science and government are telling us all things that simply don't make any sense based on the teaching we all received in school, clinicals and experience we've all had in our fields over the years. I agree. The people giving us the senseless information have never had our best interests in mind anyway, and have been caught lying every time someone bothered to give their words even a cursory examination.

My ER doc had been watching a video by Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. They had done some very thorough statistical research and posted an hour-long video detailing their findings. The video had about five million views on YouTube and our doc had just about finished watching the video when it was removed by YouTube. It seems that any statements or information that contradict what government-approved sources are saying are subject to being banned and removed. It doesn't matter if it's a personal post on Facebook from a layman or a well-researched statistical analysis posted to YouTube by experienced, front-line physicians like Dr. Erickson and Dr. Massihi. Only government-approved science is valid. I feel like I've seen this before in the climate debate. Do a search on Google and see the full pages of results "debunking" the video. Or just hit this link to see the full video at Bitchute.

The other day a man was arrested out at the beach. Apparently he was violating the social isolation edicts that society has put in place. He was paddle-boarding in the ocean, alone. Five deputies arrived and put him in handcuffs and took him away. This is what we asked for.

It's coming out now that the majority of people who carry the virus develop zero symptoms throughout the course of the illness. This would make the rational person think that means the virus is much less dangerous than we previously thought, and the mortality rate for the virus would end up being much lower than we thought. Maybe less than 2%, rather than the 4% from before. But the government-approved sources are not going in that direction. Now rather than relaxing a bit, we are being asked to further isolate, even from healthy people. "Be a hero, stay home." Be suspicious of everyone around you and avoid them. Call your local commissar is you suspect your neighbor is violating social distancing. Don't go to church (unless it's a mosque). Happily accept that $1,200 and shut up, don't worry about what it's doing to the economy. The federal debt is up by about a trillion dollars just in the last four weeks. Don't worry about that though.

What's clear is that the people in power have taken this opportunity to tighten their grip on their zones of control. The governor of New Mexico has sealed off the roads leading into a town of 70,000 people. The governor of Michigan doesn't want her citizens to grow gardens. The mayor of Jackson, Mississippi has declared open carry to be illegal. The Agricultural Commissioner in Florida has refused to accept concealed carry permit applications online and has slowed the process for mail-in applications.

It's easy too find violations of the first, second, fourth and tenth amendments happening all over the nation due to this outbreak of a virus that appears to possibly have less than a 2% mortality rate. Pair that with obviously bad information coming from the government-approved scientific sources, and my ER doc here said that there must be something going on behind the scenes we aren't being told about. Again, I agree.

We've been taking small steps toward it, but 2020 appears to have been one giant leap in the direction of a dystopian society. It's past time to be standing on your own. Collect your own water, grow your own food, own the roof over your head, arm yourself, get your communications gear up, homeschool your kids, get your medical training, make sure your transportation is in working order and have your intelligence collection element running.

What we've been preparing for is upon us now.
