I AM in the medical system, working as a nurse in a nursing home. All Faucci had to say is that the Corona virus fatality rate may be as high as 1 percent. I still say that the panic is worse than the disease. Everyone should stay calm and sober, but it’s not gonna happen.
If you work in a nursing home, you know it would be higher than 1% for your patients.
That said, talking about it is not panic. Its talk.
Reading about it is not panic. Its information.
Ignoring it is stupid—and that is what a lot of the flu-bros on FR are suggesting we do.
The biggest problem is that Americans are stupid, and they do not understand how to read for context. They read a headline and they jump to conclusions. They hear something that conforms to their “paradigm” and that something is “gospel” to them—to the elimination of any other outcome.
I’ve seen nursing home staff go nuts over bed bugs and c-dif. But those are things you are “rated” on. I’ve also read that the nursing home staff in Kirkland were sharing O2 and nebulizer treatment equipment. I’ve seen with my own eyes, the 02 “BUBBLERS” be kept in a locked safe because staff was stealing them to smoke pot through.
So, I am not sure what you think is calm and sober...If people knew the shit that went on in nursing homes...they would freak out.
I see very little on FR that induces “panic.” But panic is an internal reaction. Very little in my life induces much of a “reaction” these days. Except the complaints about other’s actions.
You are right, we are never going to control that. But, if you don’t want to see articles—I would suggest you stay off the internet and social media for a while. Then you can be surprised, like everyone else.
Cause...its just the flu.
