One World, One Virus
March 11, 2020
AS THE media and governmental agencies continue to bombard the public with the coronavirus and as the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic despite the very low global death rate (about 4,000 alleged dead out of a world population of 7.7 billion), here are some questions you should be asking as you read the news. Let me also say, I am sincerely sorry for those who are sick and the relatives of the deceased or stricken. On their behalf, let us ask more:
What percentage of the 31 deaths that have occurred in the U.S. involved people over the age of 80 and those who had other serious health problems? In China?
Why if the virus has not been disastrous in China, with a very small percentage of the population having died, and why if the virus is receding there, do public officials keep suggesting that it will be disastrous in the U.S.?
Why has Angela Merkel said that two-thirds of the German population will be sickened?
Why has Italy been more affected than other countries?
Is the coronavirus more lethal overall than the average flu?
Why are quarantines being imposed now and not during the average flu season?
Why have India, Japan (more than half of the 1,200 confirmed cases there were from a cruise ship), Russia, Australia — all of which are closer to China than the U.S. and have many travelers from China — been less affected than the U.S.? Why has Canada, with much travel back and forth to China, had very few cases?
Why are experts forecasting a recession when so far relatively few people have been affected?
Are the government and the financial industry extending our obligations unnecessarily under the cover of induced panic?
Have you met a single person with confirmed coronavirus? Is that person seriously ill?
Please note the alarmist rhetoric in news reports. One headline declared, “the globe shudders.” This is psychological warfare. Even if the virus becomes a worldwide calamity, this alarmism does not seem justified so far. It is reasonable to suspect that we are being deliberately demoralized and further acclimated to a loss of national sovereignty, world government and intrusive laws restricting movement and individual decision-making.
