Coronavirus Saga Continues
NO Complaining!
Dear Producer, As we head towards a third week of lockdowns, the media is making hay with continued Covid-19 coverage designed to make you anxious. This has a purpose, to get you to become irrational and fearful and easier to manipulate. This is apparently the only way Disney can get anyone to buy copies of “the Rise of Skywalker.”
Your No Agenda Show will keep you sane and healthy through this crises by providing real analysis based on real news sources that are not linked to the entertainment industry.
This is only done with your help and during these trying times, your help is needed more than ever. Click here and contribute what you think the show is worth to you. Everything helps. All credit cards accepted.
Tomorrow’s show. The next two weeks will tell the story regarding the Corona virus hospitalizations. Beds are ready in schools. Beds are ready on ships. Beds are ready in the Jacob Javits Center. Meanwhile ventilators are being produced by the thousands and we are ready to rock. The beaches are closed. The basketball courts are closed. You are told to shut up and stay home. Watch TV. Order online. Have food delivered.
20 Years ahead of its time! Who knew?
Observers are watching these empty beds wondering if the country is going to be packed with victims. Nobody is discussing any other possibility. Or, if they are in the media and dare suggest that there is hysteria, they get fired. Which is exactly what happened to Trish Regan at Fox Business.
Many of you need to be reminded of the fabulous Comet Kohoutek event of December 1973. This comet was just discovered earlier that year. It was supposedly going to do a spectacular flyby of earth making night into day with outgassing and sky fires like nothing seen before. The entire world was jacked up by this upcoming event. It turned out to be a massive dud, but it sold a lot of newspapers and got a lot of TV coverage.
Before its close approach, Kohoutek was promoted by the media as the "comet of the century". However, Kohoutek’s display was considered a let-down,possibly due to partial disintegration when the comet closely approached the Sun prior to its Earth flyby. – Wikipedia
Seasonal Flu, the Unmentioned Variable. With the Corona virus event people are indeed dying, but that happens with the seasonal flu too, every year. There are no numbers to show that the Corona virus is worse, but it might be “..in addition to..” which is never discussed by the media. In other words you have your flu deaths in addition to your Corona deaths causing net havoc.
It should be noted that in Italy they are all counted as Corona virus deaths.
If there is any good news the shelter in place, social distancing and mask wearing will coincidentally lower the incidences of seasonal flu“..in addition to..” cases of Corona virus. This could easily result in less hospital beds being needed overall, not more. Again, a possibility that cannot be discussed by the advertising-based news media.
Heaven forbid anyone tries to calm the panicky public. They might stop buying excessive toilet paper!
