The Coronavirus Cure Is Killing Us

Is the current cure right-sized for the illness?

Given that the current viral fear pandemic besieging our nation is a medical issue, let me draw a rough healthcare analogy.

If a woman goes to her doctor and tells him that she is having chest pain, she should get ready for a battery of tests, especially if she is well insured. One reason for all those tests is that the physician wants to help determine the cause and will call in other specialists who will keep ordering tests until the cause can be identified and the risk quantified. If it turns out to be a heart condition, a proper course of treatment can be determined. But if the physician assumes it is heartburn with no further assessment, sends the patient out the door with a roll of antacids, and that patient dies of congestive heart failure in the parking lot, there is an enormous liability, not to mention the fact the patient is dead.

In the case of COVID-19, the diagnosis is out of order. The mainstream media is playing the medical team who worry the patient to death, the politicians are playing role of the doctor trying to cover their rear end, and Americans are the patient being subjected to all the tests.

Yeppers ... unless I feel like I'm dying, I'll stay at home and take my chances at home.  I'm an old fart (yep, I finally admit it), with heart disease and 3 stents -- I don't need to be picking up more germs at the doc's office if I don't need to and certainly I'm perfectly content not having to deal with people hacking and coughing at the stores, banks, movies, church, etc.  We're set for awhile.  I'll still walk my 1.75 mile in the various different parks ... and wave to my neighbors and chat awhile in here.

Maybe I'll read a few old books I have hanging around, tend to the garden, play with my pooch, and binge watch some old westerns.  With popcorn of course!

Oh, you will vote Democrat when you die
