on Friday April 3 I posted that my Wife and I had the discussion about closing the business down. What it boiled down to is what is the risk (bringing the virus home) vs the reward (small amount of work booked and not too many calls coming in) We decided it was best to close until things open up again.
That got me started to think even more because if you dont know me, let me tell you that I am a person that likes to look at the FACTS and the FEAR that has been presented upon us hasnt always rung true to me. I have seen Spazznouts post about the video so I finally took the time to view it. I suggest you do the same.
I have known for a long time that what is told us sometimes isnt the whole story. A great example of this is the recent headline that read *USPS Warns It Might Have to Shutter by June as $2 Trillion coronavirus stimulus package provides no funding.* What they DONT tell us is that the Post Office actually MAKES money for the US Government and any shortage is due to the fact that the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) required the USPS to create a $72 billion fund to pay for the cost of its post-retirement health care costs, 75 years into the future. This burden applies to no other federal agency or private corporation. If the costs of this retiree health care mandate were removed from the USPS financial statements, the Post Office would have reported operating profits in each of the last six years.
How Congress Manufactured a Postal Crisis — And How to Fix it
So what are we hearing now? The Coronavirus is a Worldwide Pandemic affecting over a million people and killing almost 6000 WORLDWIDE (as of April 5) Hospital Beds and Ventilators are in short supply.
What are they NOT telling us? According to the CDC, in the 2018-2019 USA influenza season, there were 35,520,883 people affected with 34,157 deaths. In fact, the CDC says that the percentage of deaths from pneumonia and influenza is 8.2% above the Epidemic threshold of 7.2%. WHAT? Did the CDC ever say anything about an influenza Epedemic? And what do the people that have these diseases use? Hospitals and Ventilators!
But wait, theres more! According to the CDC, in the 2018-2019 USA Flu season there were 39,000,000 - 55,000,000 illnesses, 400.000 -730,000 hospitalizations and 24,000 - 63,000 deaths.
Then look at Brazil and Mexico where there is no Stay At Home order. The USA has a 26 deaths per 1 million population Coronavirus death ratio. Brazil has 2 and Mexico at .5 per 1 million population. Why is that?
This is only after about 2 hours of research after viewing the video, most available on the CDC website.
This is not meant as some conspiracy related post. But the FACTS dont MATCH what they are telling us.
So the real question is, What are they NOT telling us?
