Until Covid is not the dominant headline every single day, and until case counts are virtually meaningless, better safe than sorry.
You know this makes me wonder. Just how much the media dominating their headlines with this information played into people's reactions to this disease? and that makes me wonder, what if we never had gotten that kind of information at all? Would it have been taken as just a rougher flu, like some people I know were told when they got these covid-like symptoms back when Covid wasn't even named that yet, in late November and early December of 2019?
This seems important to me because all these play into the fear of the disease and fear of death. And how we can ease these fears.
If it's about overwhelming the hospitals, and easing their overload, so that when the people do end up getting these bad Covid symptoms, they can be admitted and easily able to be treated and looked at, isn't that where we are at now? or some places at least...
Vaccines help ease that burden, because they ease the severity of the symptoms. You may still catch it and pass it on, but you won't get as sick as you would if you don't have a vaccine. Thus, easing the burden on the hospitals, and letting those that do get these severe symptoms can be admitted at the hospital, without worry of being denied emergency care. Isn't that why they weren't allowing the other various types of diseases that kill people, like Cancer screenings? So, then what if you are that cancer patient who is now denied your regular care, because they are prioritizing those people rather than you, what are you going to do about that?
I am not arguing with these questions either. I just want to really, really understand if this is THE REASON for Locking Down and Shutting Down the world.
