All I see is panic. The agent generated epidemics in a couple places, but that doesn't seem so unusual to me.
You are correct. The CDC began hiring quarantine managers in many states a month before the virus was known. High paid managers, like up to $100K per year. Careers are being invested in quarantines... in a country which has never had major quarantines... a month before the virus was even known. So. That tells me that all the hysteria is engineered.
It's not uncommon in Italy for 20,000 people to die of the flu in any flu season. And since November, only about 4500 have died of the virus. So. I rule Italy out as proof of a pandemic.
We are being controlled. In my area, working/middle class pansies are traumatized by not being able to get enough toilet paper. No matter that cloth diapers worked fine for generations and generations. Anyhow, in this trauma, they area willing to believe anything, because they can't think straight.
In my area, funerals are prohibited. Over 50 at church is prohibited. We are losing our rights and our dignity. If someone I knew, or a politician here, died, people would not be allowed to congregate to prompt each other with collective memories. Honoring the dead would be just typing and reading comments one by one.
Everyone buys into this mass hysteria, in part because of the way charts show the virus deaths' growing exponentially. However, the charts are completely irrational, because they start at zero. But there never was a zero. There just weren't tests widely available.
Reliable sources say the virus did not come from China necessarily. So, it may have been around for decades undetected. After all, the symptoms are the same as the flu.
It's all a hoax. I'm appalled at my fellow citizens for buying into this hype. At one workplace recently, a regular customer, a full grown woman, said she was afraid to come in because she might get the virus. She had a tight mask on and rubber gloves. She held onto the door frame for moral support. The room was safe and practically empty. This is an example of mass hysteria.
And all these people upset because they can't go out and buy whatever they want. It's so silly, because a lot of low income people can't shop in between paychecks anyhow. Welcome to our world, duh.
Who benefits from shutting down the economy? It's hard for me to understand. But it is clear someone or some group of people have coordinated this panic very well and are manipulating the media and our fears to get us to give up some civil rights and cultural values. Outlawing funerals, horrible. What a horrible way not to honor our dead relatives. Good night.
