The Covid Saga Continues
We all know...
that Covid-19 (the Wuhan Flu) is a bit of a mystery for us common people. Heck it doesn't take much reading to get the impression that it's a mystery even for the experts, the scientists and medical professionals...
don't we?
Many of us are beginning to smell something fishy about it though. It's already too far back in time for most of us to remember that the shutdown was only supposed to be for a couple of weeks, maybe a month, and then we would be allowed to let our lives return to normal. A couple of weeks morphed into a couple of months and now seriously threaten to morph into a couple of years even if the vaccines work.
How can that be? What went wrong?
Covid-19 became politicized and as "we all know" politics has a way of corrupting things.
Being an American myself (U.S.A. American) everything political that is Covid relates to President Trump. We all know that too. If Trump says something is good then it is bad, we all know, right? So if Trump says some therapy or medication or god forbid health supplement fights Covid or if some vaccine is promising it's not socially acceptable to big tech or to woke Trump-haters to even mention it in public in any other context than to scandalize the President. If that isn't political what is?
These days everything Covid seems to revolve around testing. Most of us haven't personally known anybody who actually died of Covid. From what I have gathered, very few otherwise healthy people catch Covid and die from it. Most Covid deaths seem to have other related causes. One Johns Hopkins study recently released and squelched but archived here appeared to indicate that the overall death rate in America hasn't spiked since the appearance of Covid but other causes of death have sharply declined.
If that isn't a mystery what is?
[What's with my spell checker flagging the word "Covid"? I'm not misspelling it.]
Ideally all things political in America are geared to protecting the health, welfare, and constitutional rights of all Americans but in reality all things political in America are geared to the power to control the nation's people. Who gets to be in control. The reality is the flip side of the ideal in other words. So if there is some way to use Covid to to influence voters to put certain people in power or to keep them there, it will be used for that purpose.
Seeing Covid through that lens creates a working model of what seems to be going on and Americans are beginning to realize it. The November 3rd election was supposed to be the beginning of the end for Covid paranoia but the uncertainty that has resulted from the rigged election necessitates its continuation. Americans are supposed to believe that control of America by Democrats will quickly solve the problem. We are supposed to wipe from our memory any connections we may have made between Covid and Democrat governors and mayors and replace those memories with gratitude for the new Democrat administration.
The only problem is, at this point there's no guarantee there even will be a Democrat in control. At this point Trump may very well triumph or even declare a national emergency and call out the military until a fair election can be guaranteed, fair in the minds of all voters, not just those who voted for the victors.
Anything is possible and -come on man - we all know it ain't over till the fat lady sings.
But wearing masks and obeying forced social distancing (the 6-foot rule) and keeping kids out of schools and shuttering small businesses and reading conflicting narratives and obeying Democrats and everything else paranoia-related is rubbing many, maybe even most, Americans the wrong way. Some are even - if you can imagine - shutting off mainstream news media which is, between pharmaceutical advertisements, feeding fuel to the flames of fear.
One thing I can say for certain. All of us will either learn a lesson from this or die. I mean all of us will eventually die, right? The die part is a certainty. Death is our fate no matter what. But the learning a lesson part - well that all depends, doesn't it?

On January 31st, 2017, you wrote in the comment section of my blog, "Lost in the Bozone" - "I got myself a FatBoy, pre-owned, last year and have been loving it so much I've been thinking I'd like to get a fat bike for my wife too and the thought occurred to me I wonder if you're still selling bikes. I hope not because after reading this garbage you'd be the last guy I'd ever ask a favor of.
Sorry."
Seems I am not the only one who writes garbage. Two of my relatives in states far away have had Covid. One dealt with it at home and the other ended up in the hospital and almost died. So take your "Covid is Hoax" attitude and shove it up your ass. Sorry.
I see your attitude hasn't changed, Crum. But isn't it stretching it a bit when you put "Covid is Hoax" in quotes when I said no such thing? It has become a political hoax because the media has misled Americans - to their harm - for political gains, but as far as I can tell it is not a medical hoax. Have you checked out my January 28 post? Hopefully that would help some people understand where I have stood on this topic.
