My Opinions on Coronavirus


Esoteric

I don't have enough posts to post this in debate, but I just want to say something about it. This whole Coronavirus thing has been blown completely out of the water, it went from people actually being concerned to people shitting on America and Trump because "orange man bad". I'm no Trump supporter, but it's tiresome to see it constantly. Here are my opinions though:

1. The death toll numbers are completely false. The CDC has admitted to saying every death that has happened so far is due to Corona even without testing being done. Hospitals are paid to falsify the death certificates of people who have deceased, so I'm not willing to trust anything that comes from their mouths.

2. Masks and gloves don't do anything when you're not sick. Especially considering when most people don't know how to correctly use a mask, and gloves can make the virus spread around more. 

3. Social distancing is making the problem worse for everyone, not just for America. By removing yourself from other people, you get less exposed to germs that'd keep your immune system strong and not allowing your body to build antibodies for the virus. Your immune system is actually getting weaker, therefore being more exposed to the virus.

4. Projections for the virus are most likely false and only made for fear bait. I don't care what anyone says, it's the beginning of May and I highly doubt that 3,000 Americans will die daily from it in June. You can't make a prediction like that right now. 

5. It's been proven across the nation that hospitals have been overstaffed and actually had to lay people off due to how empty they are. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but if the virus was really that widespread that problem wouldn't occur. 

6. Comparing the virus to the Spanish Flu is a highly uneducated comparison. The Spanish Flu was over a century ago, and medicine and health practices have way improved since then. 

That's about all of my opinions for now. Thanks for reading.

1. Given that the United States has not been testing at the rate we should be testing at this point in time, it’s possible that the death toll is less than what they say it is. However, it could also be other way around. They could be under reporting deaths.

2. A person who has Covid-19 are asymptomatic so advising people to wear masks and gloves makes sense. They could be infected and they would not even know it. 

3. The only people who have antibodies are those who have already had the virus. It’s not possible to have immunity to a virus a person has never been exposed to before. 

4. Prediction are based on what we have seen within the last few months. For example, Florida was one of the last states to close and has already opened. I can make a prediction that they are going to see a spike in cases due to their lack of social distancing. It’s basic cause and effect.

5. I think it’s a fair comparison as it was a worldwide pandemic that hit Spain especially hard(it should be noted that the Spanish Flu did not originate from Spain). The Flu constantly mutates and adapts to infect people hence why there is no cure for it. For example, when we develop a vaccine for Covid-19, this will not work against a future strain of the flu virus.
