The Panic Is Worse Than The Disease
My Opinion | April 3, 2020 | Me

Posted on 04/03/2020 12:20:03 PM PDT by captain_dave

I am very concerned that the panic is already worse than the disease, and that we are now only hurting ourselves by continuing this exercise in mass hysteria.

A solution to the Wuhan Flu (aka: Corvid19) is available. We can use the hydroxychloroquine protocol (HCQ). A vaccine is beginning to be tested in Israel. And now the University of Pittsburgh has a potential solution: HotAir story, "We might already have a vaccine -- and a safer delivery method, too" (Link: https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/04/03/university-pittsburgh-might-already-vaccine-safer-delivery-method/)

I believe President Trump's initial response was correct. China's reaction to the outbreak with its quarantine of Hebei Province could have indicated a release of a biological agent. However, now we are seeing the Wuhan Flu for what it is: a serious seasonal flu.

The problem we have now is the world is in panic. Irrational decisions are being made in the name of safety, which are causing hardship. The supply chains are being broken. Now, the spector of hunger is starting to visit. This is very dangerous. I don't doubt there are some who rejoice in our panicked self destruction. We're making it easier for them to seize control.

What is needed now is to treat Wuhan Flu cases with HCQ and get our wounded economy back to work before empty wallets and empty shelves result in hunger and riots. We are at a critical decision moment: do we return to America or do we become Venezuela?

The screaming media and DemoRats are the real cause for the panic.

The panic is driven up for one reason and one reason only and you’ve taken it lock stock and Harrell - for it the vaccine industry

Let me ask you a question - why is there a 10 billion Dollar fund to pay off all of the poor families whose children’s lives were ruined by the overzealous injection of these poisons into their children?

Why is your opinion special enough for a thread on FR? How does this stand out from the proliferation of “just a flu” comments on every other thread?

Well I agree with you but the President today said that 4 more weeks of staying at home is needed.

That REALLY needs to be it though.

I’m with you on starting life again earlier but it is what it is, I guess

I don’t think Trump would say 4 more weeks if he didn’t have some good reason.

I dunno

The official turning point was when all these sports leagues began canceling major events. THAT is what triggered the public hysteria and panic over this.

I am not convinced this is some natural occurrence.

It’s not any worse than most other vanities.

People die from economic depressions just like they die from diseases. And they die in higher numbers from diseases during depressions.

I can’t figure out how to balance the two, just have to try to live through both.
