We see, every day, some expert on the news telling us that the coronavirus is much worse than the flu. I will stand up to them in a heartbeat. They are idiots.
The Flu, influenza virus, as a world wide epidemic today is quite a bit different than it was in 1918. Yeah, consider the influenza vaccine, consider Tamiflu, consider modern medicine and it’s capabilities to provide oxygen, ventilator support, intensive care support! None of which existed in 1918. To compare coronavirus today, to the flu today is about as STUPID as…
COVID-19 is a novel virus. That means it’s new. In 1918, H1N1 was new. In 2020, not much influenza is new, at least right now (talking influenza vaccine, Tamiflu, Modern ICU technology).
So how can these “experts” compare coronavirus with today’s statistics of the flu? No, lets compare coronavirus with statistics of influenza of 1918, where we had no vaccine for influenza or coronavirus, where we had no Tamiflu or an antiviral for coronavirus and where we had no modern technology that we have today.
I’m sorry, but social distancing is one of the biggest bogus scams sold to the world today. Six feet is not a valid safe distance.
Six miles might, emphasize “might”, be safe. For a respiratory illness. In fact, there is NO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH that supports this “6 foot rule”. Only bogus media hysteria.
The 6 foot rule, according to a Vanderbilt University Professor is the distance from me that you would have to be to not commingle our expired/inspired air. It totally disregards the micro-drpolets of infectious material that land on solid surfaces in between us that you next touch innocently and then scratch an itchy nose and, voila you just infected yourself despite the 6 foot rule!
Respiratory contagion spread much more vigorously than what your being told.
For the last 3 weeks, the government has wrought devastation on the American economy, all these 6 foot rules and quarantines. Now they want to pay up? There is no way the government can replenish what it has stolen from its citizens. This coronavirus scam has been the greatest scam on American citizens, ever. Two trillion dollars will not come close to compensating Americans for what has been done to them.
Your now angry, grumpy Uncle Dave.
Weary.
