CORONA VIRUS HYPE (caveat sictor)

A warning to the concerned people in regards to the potential of getting sick (caveat sictor) is in line here but using fear, hype, doubt, confusion, panic and hesitation dynamics is not allowed! Be still for a moment and let your sense of which we have in common kick-in. The facts are simple enough and haven't changed for Centuries. Relax and seek truth here

VIRUS

The virus is a life form who very much wants to live just like you do and recognizes this is its chance, its opportunity to do so. Similar to a parasite, it has to find a host to last as it feeds off what it needs until it dies out. Flu's, colds, & bacteria have been doing this for ages over time living their cycle of life. 

FLU

Every year, the flu visits because all the right reasons line-up for it to live & thrive. While the year before flu came & went, we learned more about its life cycle & put what we know into a vaccine to help offset the next visit as well as the current one. We can vaccinate against what was. The current version takes time usually one year for us to unleash a vaccination. But that is not factually true only logistically true

VACCINATION-TIME

The reason it takes up to one year is because or our rules, laws, regulations and litigation that interferes and slows us down. The actual remedy to a high percentile is known as this is not our first flu experience. We just don't have the specific current identity of this virus to take it on 100%. But we can and do resist it!

KNOW THIS

If it was all-powerful or non-stoppable we all would have been dead by now. This is exactly what our history as mankind tells us. It did just that centuries ago until we caught up with it and fought back successfully. Now and even more, we have an automatic immune system (autoimmune) that is repelling invaders all the time. It just doesn't tell you about it. The body wants to live too and YOU want it too!

REFERENCE EXAMPLE

When you mix two chemicals together lets say common ones found in a household you get a toxic formula to the touch, taste and smell that can be lethal. The same dynamic works with the virus in the opposite way. It mutates into what it needs to navigate. However mankind presents a lethal challenge to it naturally

WHO IS AFFECTED

Like all predators whether they be virus, bacteria, animal, plant or insect or some unknown gas or substance who seek to prey to survive: the weak, the young and the old are more susceptible to an attack and easier to bring down. It is not a sure thing as those examples may repel an attack too. It is subjective as to the result

CONTAGION PERIOD 

Every life-form has an urgency about it to perform in its allotted time and opportunity whatever it is if it is to exist. In the case of virus, once it infects, it tends to weaken and die within 5 days. We added 9 more days to insure and guarantee as well as regulate a successful recovery. The lifespan of a virus in naturally short

TRANSMISSION

We have long known about air-borne infection as well as touch-borne. With airborne, it is random and is subject to wind, sun, rain, heat, cold and other factors to survive. With touch, it leaps onto targets via close contact. That's why washing hands, wearing gloves & masks and maintaining safe distance is recommended

RUMOR MILL

1. China was trying to weaponize this so as to do harm and gain ground against their enemies. It got out of control or escaped its lab and we now know that Wuhan China was ground zero. What were they doing?

2. The flu is always used to generate incomes for the medical and pharmaceutical industries every year. This hype only increases their sales. The stock market follows this hype all the time going up and down

3. There is no stopping Trump and his historic and much needed economy and recovery so this may help to sabotage him somewhat as they have no other way to stop, slow or eliminate this man and his plans to make America great. They have tried everything but to no avail. Perhaps the virus can slow things down?

4. The media is a business not a public service. They have to make a living or they do not exist. They pedal news and prey on human nature when they do. Facts don't sell well but fear, hype and debauchery does

GET YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU

Use your common sense. No shaking hands, sneezing on each other or touching surfaces that harbor this invader longer than it should exist. Metal doesn't do well as a landing site for germs but wood and plastic does. Minimize contact, eat and rest well, take minimum precautions and this too shall pass. It always does

REPEAT AFTER ME

Thank you but no thank you. Keep your fear, hidden agendas, manipulation and hype to yourself and just share the "must knows". I am in good health, well enough as I have made it this far with and without interferences and will continue to do so. Live and let live. Your fears are your own!

Morning Richie.

I'm not worried about it one bit.  I do carry hand sanitizer, just out of habit.

Very good points and well written.

I am surprised that with your handle on what is going on that you think this is a media hype to take Trump down. For at least a month between Fox(media) and Trump I heard how this was just a hoax and that it will all blow over real soon. Thank god the other media players persisited and promoted what the scientists and professionals were saying.  Until we have a vaccine this has the potential of being worse than the 1918 Epidemic that caused 50 million deaths. Because the media and professionals have triggered the social distancing now in effect we will probably only have a couple million cases in the US and only tens of  thousands deaths ... but ... with sever economic disruption.  If Trump did not shut down the 40 person task force that was set up to detect epidemics before they start accelerating and if he didn't delay creating the critically needed tests, we could have shut down this virus without much effect like they did in South Korea and Singapore and with minimal economic impact. To blame the media rather than Trump just doean't compute coming from someone who obliously understands the way viruses behave.

Tom McVeigh ...excellent commenting and feedback...My Trump stance is really a comment directed toward those that are anti-change and in this case Trump represents change. I am for working together to make things happen the American way. Until we all can unite disruption is afoot. Shame on that approach by anyone is my stance. One Nation, one people working together!

I totally agree. I want lots of change.  However, the country has been split by the two extremes on the right and the left. I try to be unbiased and it is hard. From my perspective it is Fox news and the right/slanted radio shows that are driving a third of this country to be against the rest of the media ... which are, for the most part, a lot more objective and factual. I am all for change ... but change that unites. Does anyone really feel that Trump is trying to change the country by uniting us?  How do we get change when the senate won't even let bills come to the floor for debate? We will survive somehow but it is depressing to see how un-united we are.

The yin and the yang is always going at it trying to seek the balance in their questing. We will get there if each person listens to what is right in their heart, practices patience and faith and lets whatever is afoot run its course. Everything runs in cycles or turns. We must all honor each others turn Tom McVeigh . In the end we answer to ourselves & the self-maker
