Dear Editor:
Fear. We have nothing to fear but the fear mongers themselves. We are being told how the Covid surge is as high as it was in its prime. The news is reporting how bad it is. Over the last several months we haven’t seen or heard of any long lines to get tested. It was almost like the testing sites disappeared. Now they are showing lines and lines of people waiting to get tested. If there were 100 people getting tested before and 3 had Covid, then when panic sets in and 100,000 people get tested and 3000 have tested positive, the news can tell us that the infected rate is 100 times bigger than it was. Yet it is still the same 3%. From what has been reported on this latest variant, the sky is falling. We are all going to die. We are told to follow the science. Well, from what I have been hearing, Omicron should be called Omicold.
I sit back and wonder, what is more of a waste of money, Covid testing or sending aid to China? Remember China, yea, they’re the ones who gave us Covid.
We keep hearing of Super Spreader Events. When the news comes on, they show us lines around the block with people waiting to get tested for Covid. I wonder if they had test sites for the flu and people lined up around the block, how many would catch the flu? I wonder how many would line up to see if they had the flu. If I didn’t have the flu, I wouldn’t line up to see if I had it. If I had the flu, I would stay home and nurse myself. If I was in real bad shape, I would probably go to the doctor. I know that comparing the flu to Covid isn’t fair. If Obiden would have been more concerned about developing therapeutics as he is about shaming the un-vaccinated, we would be able to treat people who have Covid, you know, like they treat the flu.
Obiden told us that he had a plan to squash Covid when he was campaigning. He was going to shut down Covid and not the country. Back in July he told us that we were in the final stages of the pandemic. Today, Dec 21st, he told us that he has a new plan. After listening to his speech, I came to the conclusion that he wants to do more testing, and the biggest part of his plan is to shame, shame, and then shame some more the unvaccinated. He is telling us that if you don’t get vaccinated with a vaccine that doesn’t have a history, you’re not patriotic.
We are being blasted with how many are being infected with the newest variant. They don’t tell us how many are being admitted to the hospital or dying. So far, after millions are infected, it appears that only one person has died from Omicron in the US. The number of infected has risen, but the number of hospitalizations has been reducing daily. He said that there is a cable news station that is spreading misinformation. After listening to all the news broadcasts, it appears to me that they are all spreading misinformation. They don’t have Trump to help with their ratings, so it appears to me that they are using fear.
