It’s not by design it’s by default. There was a whole CDC program staffed with doctors and scientists in place to deal with these types of things, which is why all those “other diseases” weren’t so bad. They were able to monitor and mitigate them to some degree. But that whole program was cut and the staff was fired.
So as this grew and spread worldwide, all we could do is watch and send thought and prayers. Then when it hit our shores it was denied, ignored, and called a hoax. We were lied to and told it was going away. And suddenly 24 hours later a state of emergency was declared.
Our nation was uninformed and ill prepared. And now we are experiencing the result. Yesterday I flew. The airports were empty and there were 13 people on my flight. That was not by design, that was by ignorance. We will be feeling the effects of this for generations.
Well said. These are some truths people may want to deny, but at the end of the day these are all facts.
Along with the fact we don't know the actual numbers of who has the virus because there are not enough tests.
Ask anyone who works in a hospital.
Only select emergency rooms are getting the tests.
The tests are NOT available to whoever wants them.
More like you will only be tested if you have all the signs including difficulty breathing.
I am not going to post the blog here as it is not mine to post. But here are some facts of an actual recent case.
40 something pilot. Plays soccer on the weekends. Does not smoke. Good overall health.
Tested positive in emergency room when he could not breathe. His words. Not flu or common cold like symptoms. Worst pain I have ever felt.
He is still in the hospital.
Not trying to cause hysteria or panic. But this is real and it is real for everyone not just the elderly or sick.
Be safe!
Do something about the things that are in your control and try not to worry about the sh1t that is out of your control.
