Why do they care?
My child asked me this question and keeps asking "Why do people care about the coronavirus, Covid-19, what's the fuss about?" To be honest I don't know and that's my answer "I don't know". The only one we could ask is those who do care, and except for one neurotic friend dealing with more anxieties as one can handle, we can not ask anyone to lighten us up. The question is the result of watching the news to distract us from the lemon of a car, the fog, mud, rain, cold. For about two if not three hours we saw the same news and commercials. The only news is people are infected, the biggest part recovers, and the number of people deceived is not interesting enough to mention if you ask me, considering all the fuss the government makes about it. The fact is we all die and many people die daily, also did before the pandemic was announced. We never cared unless it was someone dear to us. Remarkable is these days no one seems to die because of cancer, car accidents, a heart attack, or because his throat was sliced by a 20+-year-old frustrated idiot or a gang of minors which happens to a 73 years old man in Arnhem city. No, we ignore the fact. As soon as the pandemic was announced everything is caused by the virus and for everything the lockdown can be blamed. We watched the news, saw the commercials, and noticed not once was said to care about your health, to lose weight now. Why not? Because unhealthy food is still cheaper, way cheaper, than fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, and meat. Worldwide whole generations have a huge lack of vitamins, iodine, vitamins D3, and zinc. The pharmaceutical industry earns thanks to all those poor bastards and the pandemic. It's not only facemasks that are sold. The supermarkets bloom too because the nation is afraid for the next period without toilet paper and Snickers. The hairdressers and beauty salons seem to be extremely busy as well because people are afraid of the next lockdown. Imagine what life looks like if no one cuts your hair or your fake nails fall off. Do people know what the priorities are, care at all? Does anyone care about anyone's health for real? If you ask me no one does. It's a human thing. We lock up our elderly and pretend as if we do this all to protect them. Do these adults need to be protected? They survived more viruses, bacteria than anyone can count. Their life is worse than a dog's. At least he can go out and stick his nose where he likes. For decades we dump our elderly, let them be hungry, lonely, take care of themselves because there's no need to go to an elderly home (we closed them all). "It's good for them, it keeps them active," the government said. Suddenly the elderly should be taken care of? Why not let them out and enjoy their life while the young ones, those who spread the virus, stay inside till they reached a respectable age? The news about the coronavirus is zero. We know not two or twenty but 200 different vaccines are developed! Each country wants its vaccine, being the first no matter what the side effects are or if it works at all. The latest publication in the medical magazine 'The Lancet' isn't as positive as the Media, governments and some involved in the development want us to believe. A vaccination (actually at least two are needed) will be the Christmas present for 2020. It might work, work for a short time or... not work at all. It's nothing new since this is the case with each vaccination. Side effects are included, if you are lucky you stay alive and can sue the government who or media or even the developer who talked everyone into this new adventure. The new hype will be a vaccination. One we already know it won't work or work long enough but who cares. It's for a good cause and the only way to test it is by injecting whole nations. Johnson & Johnson claim what they develop even works for the elderly. "Why do they care?" my child asked and that's what I don't understand either. Many are tested positive, most likely even more are or were positive and never been tested. All those positive people are alive, recovered, have nothing to fear. The biggest part never felt ill for a single moment. The young ones have hardly any chance to get sick (read: *feel* ill). This means vaccination is useless. Useless for those who recovered, useless for the elderly people (like nearly every carbonation is), and useless for those who are immune. Useless it's too if it only works for a few weeks. Why bother now about a vaccination? One made without enough knowledge and being tested long enough? This plague will not be different from any other. Some die, the rest lives on. I read the next baby-boom is on its way. Prove enough people do not care. Not about the virus, being infected, a lockdown, or a messy future with a lack of income. They breed on. A good solution to escape from the 'social distance' law. Humankind will survive this and the population will only increase more (We live thousands years with tuberculosis and over 500 years with the pox.). That is something we should be worried about. How to feed the world, keep all of us healthy *without* a pharmaceutical industry. The extra news was the conspiracy theory about the #coronavirus, covid-19, and the #epidemic spread by social media which is a danger to the state and healthcare.

Yeah, the conspiracy is spreading nowadays that it is dangerous I mean manipulated. Pharmaceutical Industry is rejoicing nowadays, I didn't even buy medicines, always go for herbals if it's not a severe case of illness..
I bought nothing either except for the usual vitamins during winter and 'kelp' (iodine). I didn't buy extra toilet paper either.
he is right to ask you that question and your answer should be clever. I post an article today it can be helpful and clarify zlatan star of intermilan opinion and how he deals with covid19 stars today are models for kids and everyone . Great article good luck within your writing experience
Yes, of course a child should ask and it proves to me it thinks about the present situation. It's one that doesn't make sense. The school is a good example. Not once is announced officially or parents are told, a class plus teachers were send home in quarantine. True or? My child heard it accidentally, overheard students. Was it a gossip or? Good luck and health to you. 🍀
You would rather let people outside, let a bunch of people who wouldn't have died that soon die from it, then say "well people die anyway who cares?" You say you only care about the deaths of people you know. You do realize that, other people would know the ones who died? Why should they get to suffer? I agree that the news does talk about covid-19 a lot, and maybe they should talk about it less; I'm sure there are some more news stories they could be talking about. But, it's literally a worldwide pandemic. It's important we know how to handle this, and how to help each other get out of it faster, with the least amount of deaths. You're right that Healthcare in America isn't the greatest. There's a lot of exploitation from many different entities here. Do you want to know how you can have fewer people in the hospitals (decreasing the money they spend there)? Social distancing and wearing masks. Agreed on the elderly, we could treat them better. But, I'm not sure letting the most likely to die from a pandemic outside during a pandemic is the greatest idea either. As for the vaccines, you're right they're being rushed. However, they're still going to have some tests, we're going to know that they work most of the time at least. Side effects from them would be an improvement from how awful covid-19 is. Plus, if you do get a side effect from one, you'll actually have someone to sue! ;)
No "it's fuzz" 😂 Very easy to see she hasn't lost anyone she cares.
You don't know? So the thousands of deaths (like an epidemic not seen for a century) are just fuzz? Wow, you probably won't say that if a relative of yours were among the victims. Sure tell the kids is all fuzz, let them out unprotected. Nice thinking.
Have you read at all? My child asked a question and my answer is I do not know why people bother. Might be it's different if... But if is not the case with us. In the winter of 2018-2019 many had the flu. The hospitals we're full. That winter elderly were welcome in a hospital. These days no one is. We have a list of those who deceased including their medical history. Not one single person was healthy. They all had about 3 different diseases or were far overweight, high blood pressure, diabetic, cancer, alcoholic with liver issues, etc etc.
hahaha man your kid is awesome. Don't get me wrong, I understand the implications of a world wide phenomenon but I love that they had the critical thinking!
You can't just call it a fuzz. Not so. In as much as we could have thoughts about it not being sooo great as the news has made it to be, still we can just sit and say it's not my business. Love and care keeps the world spinning.
I can call it what I like and so can my child. If it is a fuss in my child eyes because nothing it sees makes sense it's free to use this word. So am I as a columnist. Especially if I do not notice any actions from the government's site to make people lose weight and easy medication like iodine is avoided, specialists are forced to shut up if they say the wrong treatment is given and... In October 2019 the world's leaders already discussed how to act during a pandemic. How did they know over 1 year ago? It's a fact many people are far overweight, live unhealthy, have a huge lack of vitamins since years and the vaccinations will not be successful in this stadium. Read 'The Lancet' and some good info given by those who know and are removed and seen as a danger. Make yourself some thoughts if you care or ask yourself "why do people worry if most recover without even seeing a doctor?". Thanks for the discussion. 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
You've been livid about writing about the covid cases there
Livid? Personally I do not care except for the question if I can celebrate December 5th with my children. If this virus is that bad I do not understand why governments don't invest in better health care which starts with better food, rest, fewer worries. Not one single country does. How come if these people are the high risks? Btw I read those with asthma hardly end up in hospital/are infected.
It all depends on one's immune system with this virus, really. A number of us don't really have the receptors to accommodate this virus this why a greater number of the patients just end up asymptomatic. So even if they say that people with asthma or old people are at high risk, it all depends on if they have the receptors that match this virus or if their immune system can actually produce antibodies fast enough to combat the virus
That's what I believe and you don't need to be healthy at all. They already proved people with asthma hardly are infected and end up in hospital neither do those with several immune diseases...
Yes so i can't see the point in a lockdown or not. As i have and always will say, it's just the media making a fuss about this and is giving the governments new reason to make things harder for people ;;-;;
