A guy contracted a coronavirus and, at most of those who hired him, didn’t die, after a few days in the hospital he gave the impression and told his other friends something shocking: they can also hit him and that if they have to be careful, they won’t stop worrying about their lives.
“Don’t be afraid of COVID,” he said when he got back to work, “don’t let it dominate your life. “
As you know now, the guy is President Donald Trump.
What he said seemed reasonable, with a leader telling his country not to be governed by concern at a time when concern and concern for pornography are essential for existing occasions and political efforts to defeat it.
Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Estimates published in September show a low mortality rate in all areas, especially among young and healthy, yet drumming in politics and in the media has been a source of fear.
The most sensitive media priests in washington’s status quo who chose their fate with the Democratic Party and Joe Biden for the 2020 crusade were outraged through Trump and denounced him as an heretical blasphemer for rejecting his absolute ethical authority.
It was evident, and in a definitely medieval tone, from the time of the Black Plague, when the holy drunk men, Latin prayers they did not understand, insisted that the plague was a punishment for sin. They communicate about karma and see Trump’s illness as an undeniable payment not to hide.
How will Americans vote? I don’t know. I wear a mask in the grocery store, for the sake of emotions and the physical condition of others and for my own intelligent because as a diabetic I have comorability, but I know that many of those who have been much more meticulous have the virus. Anyway.
What followed since Trump’s diagnosis and return has been a landslide on many news networks, on CNN and MSNBC and on many social media sites. The New York Times questioned whether Trump can be eliminated from the polls, perhaps forgetting that the vote had already begun. Conspiracy theories have flourished.
Perhaps my favorite reaction was CBS reporter Ben Tracy, who tweeted breathlessly and absurdly that he felt safer covering Kim Jong Un’s North Korea than the White House.
Yes, the coronavirus is scary. Approximately 210,000 Americans have already died. I don’t care and I don’t need others to die. My mom’s in a rest house and her roommate just got positive diagnosed, Mom came back negative. However, like many Americans, we are waiting and worried.
Yet it still deserves to be evident now that the virus has a political weapon through Democrats and their media allies. And Trump’s handling of the pandemic was the last arrow in his seat. It can work. Possibly that wouldn’t be the case.
Many Americans have borne the mental prices of worry and isolation. There has been incalculable harm to young people who have not gone to school, although mayors and governors who have the media can send their own young people to personal schools that remain open.
And there’s a cost to entrepreneurs, small business homeowners who connected to the parent company of large government corporations like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and their elegance as awake billionaire capitalists. Small business homeowners lose their livelihoods every day and their workers’ jobs are also lost. But big governments that have never had a business and risked all their savings simply don’t get it.
And a price on the fiber of Americanism itself, people’s willingness to take on dangers and fear, which I warned months ago.
We’ve been dealing with two viruses lately.
The one who came here from China.
And it’s our own local variety: politics.
