'THE REAL PANDEMIC IS FEAR' . . .

3/19/2020

 
I've resisted writing or commenting on this "pandemic" wishing to avoid generating more negative energy.  However, I read material from Chris Wark, a health researcher and journalist. He says that the "real pandemic is fear".  I agree!  Here's what he points out:

  • this virus is no more of a threat than the flu, that the death rate is grossly exaggerated, and that the entire world is overreacting thanks to the media and politicians, who thrive on fear-mongering, and won't miss a paycheck because their employer shut down.
  • Reality check. The flu kills 30-60k Americans every year and Hospital Acquired Infections kill 75k Americans every year. The elderly, people with serious health problems, and chemo patients always have been and always will be especially vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections.
  • The 3.4% death rate of COVID-19, which everyone is freaking out about, is 3.4% of the worst cases, who were so bad they actually went to the hospital. It is not 3.4% of all cases.
    Most cases are mild and people are getting over it without seeing a doctor or being officially diagnosed. Rational estimates put the COVID-19 death rate at less than 1% or maybe even less than 0.05%, which is lower than the flu.
  • Practically speaking, Vitamin D may be the most important annual protective measure against colds, flu, and viruses, including COVID-19.
