America Voluntarily Commits Economic Suicide To Save Lives

By Brooke Says, Cultural Communications Analyst April 1st, 2020

President Trump was riding high just a month ago, free from the hassles of an unjustified and unsuccessful impeachment attempt by the Democrats, presiding over a country that was at long last energy independent and with the best economy in half a century, maybe ever. People who had previously been immune to hope now had some and were looking at unprecedented opportunities. My how things can change on a dime.

Now instead the President is presiding over daily Wuhan Virus Task Force meetings, which now discuss just how many Americans are estimated to die from a virus apparently originating in the disgusting China ‘wet markets’. Markets which now have reopened even as the world still reels from their devastating repercussions. And watching his amazing economy grind to a halt under several complete state shutdowns. In order to ‘save the people’, he’s forced to kill his own economy..............

It’s an unenviable position to be in, but not surprisingly, he’s handled it amazingly well, once again showing that he’s not only the right person at the right time to handle something like this, but that he’s made stronger when not only fate works against him, but the incessantly petulant and destructive media as well. With their idiotic gotcha questions which serve only to create soundbites, they expose what Trump has always said about them, which is that they’re fake news..................

So how do we stop this thing then and get back to work and normal? I’ll be honest, I don’t trust the imbed bureaucrats in the government, so even when it’s ‘credible’ sources, I question it, such as with the suggestion to not wear face masks................

According to the website Foreign Policy article ‘Fear of China Made Taiwan a Coronavirus Success Story’, as of March 16th, ‘Taiwan has 10 million masks a day, widespread tracking, and just 1 death despite being close to the outbreak. Taiwan has only 67 cases (currently 325/5), which is admirable in itself, especially when compared to its larger East Asian neighbors.’ But our ‘experts’ have denounced the idea that masks will help stop the spread, and in fact that they are perhaps more dangerous. Seriously?

Back to the economy though. As we consider all of the events leading up to the current situation, which is that this country, as are others, is being seriously affected by actual cases and fatalities, to what extent do we completely close the country and likely destroy our economy in order to ‘save lives’?.........As of today, after 3 months of the virus being known about in America, we have 189,441 known cases and 4,074 deaths attributed to it. At the daily Task Force briefing yesterday, both Fauci and Birx suggested we could have between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths from it. We have a population of 320 million plus people. Among deaths from other illnesses, we have 24,000 – 60,000 flu deaths each year, 47,143 suicides each year and 69,029 drug overdoses. We don’t shut down our economy over either of those though, and the latter two examples will likely exponentially increase as the economy is shut down over coronavirus.............. 

 At some point we need to have a grown up conversation about the reality of risk and life. All of life is a risk. Driving a car is a risk, being on a ladder is a risk, having a gas stove is a risk, and people die from those every year, in fact 38,800 in 2019 from fatal car crashes alone.

And no, I’m not being trite, I’m being truthful.

Do I want to get the virus and or die from it? Of course not. But I also don’t want millions of my fellow Americans to lose their jobs, go into poverty, become victims of desperate criminal predators or become desperate criminals themselves.  .............To Read More....
