The Day This was Published, 1,900 Americans Died of the Virus.

Various levels of government are operating in panic mode and not being effective at disease control.

Stop the draconian measures enacted for COVID-19. COVID-19 has the same symptoms and effects of the flu, including targeting the most vulnerable population, that we experience every year. None of the measures have stopped the flu season or reduced fatalities. The country is waiting for the same change in weather to end the flu season and COVID-19. What purpose can be served by disrupting people’s lives and ruining the economy?

The country does not take the same measures for the flu season that kills an average of 40,000 people and requires over 200,000 hospitalizations. Nor was it done for the swine flu, bird flu, Ebola or HIV infections. Let the people do what is the only effective measure: If you are sick, stay home. If you’re well, stay away from sick people.

Prove to the people that COVID-19 is any worse than the flu and will be more destructive, or stop being irrational.

Yet the CDC states:

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.
