In the president's own words, "this is war". He is right.
And if Gen George Patton was asked about corona virus, he would say we will lose good people in this battle, but we are going to win the war. We're going to kick the sh*t out of this (*$#@. There are acceptable casualties in any war. We have to get past the notion that if one person dies it is too many.
This nation cannot afford to be shut down more than two weeks. If that happens, we are destroying the lives of the living. Being practical, we are a nation of 330 million. The nation can sustain loses far beyond what we are willing to consider. We need to start that consideration. 210 are dead. We lose more people by a factor of X times on the road daily versus the daily mortality rate of this virus.
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT COMMIT SUICIDE FROM DESPAIR BECAUSE THEIR LIFE HAS BEEN DESTROYED WILL BE FAR GREATER THAN THE VIRUS IF WE STAY ON THE PATH WE ARE ON.
The limiting factor is the healthcare system. They are not prepared to handle the number of people who would be critical with this virus, so they are spreading the impact over time. I understand that.
In 2014, William Frieden, Head of the CDC predicted 1.2 million deaths with the Ebola outbreak in Africa. From 2014 to 2016, Africa lost 11,323. Simply stated, these medical pukes cannot be trusted. Their methods of calculating casualties are clearly deficient. The CDC is now calculating 200,000 to 1.7 million deaths in the USA from corona. I say MAJOR B*LLSH*T!!! Again, these folks are creating a huge panic that is not necessary.
My wife works for the CDC. She deals with three bacteria that do not have common names that kill 8,000 per year in the USA. And guess what, you never heard of these bacteria, and I am not talking MRSA. Her bacteria are resistant to anti-biotics, you get it, you have a high probability of dying. And the media says nothing.
And for three years, I have listened to my wife at the dinner table complain about how EVERYONE at the CDC hates Trump. There is no doubt in my mind these people would pull some stunts to destroy Trump. And that includes the NIH and FDA. These people want Trump gone.
THIS VIRUS IS NOT GOING AWAY. THE ADVICE TRUMP IS RECEIVING IS INTENDED TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE. I AM 100% CONVINCED OF THIS.
I do not want to see any more people die, but we are destroying our nation with 210 dead. This is insanity. And the media are criminal in their behavior. In the same period of time, we have had thousands dead from the flu. In the same period of time, we have lost 2,000 people from the bacteria my wife works on that YOU NEVER HEARD OF!!!
"What do you say to the American people that are scared?" Some maggot lying f**kstick of a reporter just asked this question to Trump. Trump is right to take a position of optimism, to encourage the people to have faith and believe we will defeat this nasty virus from China. YES, the CHINA VIRUS. THIS IS THE THIRD GLOBAL INFECTION THAT HAS ORIGINATED FROM CHINA IN ROUGHLY 20 YEARS. The time has come to isolate away from China. They are not an honest nation of the world. They are devious and killing people around the globe, and the time has come for them to pay for their criminal behavior.
My wife worked on the Ebola outbreak in Africa for two years. Hard as it may be to comprehend, even medical workers there did not fully appreciate the NECESSITY of washing hands. The CDC developed a training program that covered all the reasons to wash your hands properly and demonstrated the proper procedures to follow in Africa for the people.
Here in the USA, we have been inundated on proper procedures, ie. hand washing, social distancing, etc. Restaurants do not need to reduce tables because of this virus(heard this suggested today), but we could make it mandatory everyone use hand sanitizer upon entry and exit of restaurants and all establishments. So if any of us enter a business establishment, and go to press the button for the elevator to go up, we have used hand sanitizer upon entry into the building.
Trump needs to get away from these doctors who would gladly make this a career event, this virus. Oh yes, these medical folks would gladly make this a decade long effort if you let them. Doctors in the USA got out of the business of cure and have focused on making everything maintenance oriented. How do I keep this patient for the rest of their life as a patient paying me money. That is American medicine today.
Are any of you aware that prior to 1914 when the AMA gained control/influence of Congress, homeopathic medicine was the prevalent form of medicine in the USA? They had as many of their schools as the AMA type physicians did. When they gained Congressional influence, they drove the homeopaths out of business. There is a reason the homeopaths are coming back!!!
And another point important to know, nations across the world are watching what we do here in the USA and they are following our lead....INCLUDING RUSSIA, WHO IS IMPLEMENTING STEP BY STEP EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING, LIKE THEY ARE A KID MIMICKING OUR ACTIONS.
One last thought. I have been with my wife for 20 years. When I enter the house, before I touch anything, and this was policy for the past 20 years, I MUST wash my hands thoroughly like I am going into an operating room to conduct surgery. I am expected to take my shoes off entering the house. No shoes are worn inside the house. EVER!!! If I had to guess, I have been washing my hands 30-40 times a day since married.
Moving forward, wash your hands thoroughly, keep your distance from others, try not to touch anything that is commonly touched, i.e door knobs, etc. I use my sleeve to cover a door knob, and did this years before Corona. Use disinfectants on surfaces, door knobs daily within your home. Keep your hands away from your face. The average person touches their face 2-3 times a minute. Just end that routine now. Wash your hands when you go to the bathroom. I can't tell you how many men go into a public bathroom, do their business and walk out not washing their hands. More than 50%!!!
Study was done a few years ago, and I believe 27% of doctors wash their hands going patient to patient. Nurses were better with like 45% if I recall. If you or someone you know is in the hospital, tell them not to permit anyone to approach them without washing their hands right in the room. And anyone going to a hospital, when you get home, literally wash your hands like you are going into surgery. Why? All three of the bacteria my wife works on tend to live and thrive in hospitals. They are very deadly.
Time will play its role too. The panic will subside with time.
