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.

A READER writes from Northern Ireland:

I am never in a rush to believe anything that emanates from communist China, so I was never convinced about the seriousness of this coronavirus (assuming it exists, and I remain dubious about the whole matter.) It seems that virtually the entire world is being sucked in to the mass hysteria juggernaut. Why are people so quick to believe the media and world governments and the WHO? I refuse to go along with the madness and I will remain skeptical and doubting until there is proof that the virus exists, and even if it does exist, it does not appear to cause alarming symptoms and I cannot understand how some people have (supposedly) died as a result of being infected with it. People walking about in masks looks highly suspect to me and I fear that we are all being manipulated and taken for fools by dark forces somewhere in the world.

THIS frightening image (many apologies if it upsets you) is all you need to know about the coronavirus. People in face masks!! It’s a nightmare come true!

The cheap and easily attainable face mask is an indispensable prop. When whipping up hysteria and fear of a global pandemic, you don’t have to offer any hard, independently-verified proof that thousands have died or that the virus even exists, you just have to show pictures of people in hospital masks, even though, according to the surgeon general, the mask doesn’t even protect against the virus. Images of technicians in laboratories and a few empty streets in China help too.

We see no death or suffering, but the mask tells us all we need to know. The American economy is going to go into a tailspin. Millions of us are going to die. Brave scientists and selfless pharmaceutical manufacturers are going to work around the clock developing a vaccine and further cementing in our minds that we really need drugs to live. We’re going to have to rely a lot on the government to keep things in control — and we’ll have to stay glued to the screen for regular updates of the made-for-tv reality show, “The Virus,” which stars people in masks and latex gloves.

If you’re not afraid, look at some of the real evidence of what awaits us —  masks. They’ll make us look like robots — and show that we basically distrust each other. But that’s okay. Being a human being, with that terrible burden of thinking in a germ-filled cosmos, was over-rated anyway. Read More »
