There are people, actually quite a lot of people, in this country, and in other countries, who still don’t believe that the Corona Virus exists. Our own President Trump seems to still tell people today that the virus was somehow created to “hurt his re-election.” Yes, as of December 7, there are 67 million people all over the world infected by this disease, and 1.5 million have died, of which 283,000, or 17 percent of all of them, died in the United States. – all just to make Trump look bad. That truly is a world-wide conspiracy the likes of which we have never seen before.
There are now nurses who work in intensive care units who say that patients lash out a them because they think Covid does not exist – yet they are dying of it. There are countless people who ridicule others for wearing masks, because they somehow take their “freedom” away. Do they realize that it costs $20,000 on average for a day in the ICU, and if you need a ventilator, which is required for about 36% of ICU occupants, the cost is about $40,000 a day.
I just bought a set of new, high-end cloth masks for $9.95 each. They are very comfortable. Maybe I have impaired my own “freedom,” but I am doing what I can to prevent going to the hospital and owe them a fortune – if I survive.
Denying the reality of this disease is truly bizarre behavior for rational human beings. Fortunately this illness really does follow Darwin’s theory and those that are stupid enough to ignore it are more likely to die and “clean the genepool” for the rest of us.
Can you tell I am exasperated?
