One more to share with you: the man who leads my men's Bible study weekly is 77 years old and diabetic. He's also had a heart attack in his past. He's not overweight, he's actually thin and takes as good of care of himself as he can.
He and his wife contracted the China Virus back in December. Both had mild symptoms, said it felt like a cold or flu, and were over it within 3-4 days and they self quarantined for 14 days to keep everyone around them safe. Like me, he takes vitamin D and Zinc supplements. His doctor told him to take Robitussin D several times a day to keep the virus from getting from settling into his lungs, and he did that too.
So one of the very kinds of people the virus is supposed to kill due to him having two co-morbidities ended up with mild symptoms and is perfectly fine. He was at my home about three weeks after getting over the virus as I fixed his computer for him. Was I worried about getting the virus from him? I admit it: a little.
Well no one wants to catch it, but there are worse things in life. Being forced to take experimental medications (or medications that serve a different purpose than what we’re told) would be worse in my opinion. And we’re not being forced of course, at least not yet, but unless we push back some it could be just around the corner. They way this whole situation is being handled is dangerous in the horrible precedents we’re allowing to be set:
1 - shut down the economy when little is known about a new virus
2 - take experimental medications and waive all rights if injured
3 - don’t consider natural remedies or their effectiveness first
4 - trust politicians and tv newscasters on what you should do with your life
Etc. At least that’s my take. If this behavior continues it likely won’t end well for many.
