Allen Ginsberg- Sickness Blues

Nine deaths in WA State linked to COVID-19 virus – 610 KONA

Beaches, oceans, forests, rivers and mountains do not spread viruses or the flu and are not the problem.
Mainstream media madness and mendacity is a primary problem.

All coronaviruses (the common cold, the flu and COVID-19… can be prevented by frequent, thorough hand washing, coughing into the crook of your elbow, staying home when sick and limiting contact with people who are infected. Wearing appropriate masks in areas of known risk can be helpful.

Primary causes of death on Earth

Tuberculosis 1,500,000 deaths per year
Heart disease: 647,457
Influenza up to 646,000
Cancer: 599,108
Covid *Between 400 thousand and 1.2 million

(https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/global-covid-19-case-fatality-rates/)
“Taking account of historical experience, trends in the data, increased number of infections in the population at largest, and potential impact of misclassification of deaths gives a presumed estimate for the COVID-19 IFR somewhere between 0.1% and 0.41%.*)

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383

Flu: The World Health Organization estimates that
1 billion people worldwide get the flu every year.

Flu: The World Health Organization estimates that up to
650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide.

The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, people do not have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be years away. Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, based on inflated figures:

Global Deaths 1.42M

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

World Population 7.8 Billion

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#

Global Deaths (inflated figures) divided by
World Population (actual figures) = .000018

This means that .0018% of the planet has died from Covid
and 99 plus percent have not died from Covid.

The odds of NOT dying from Covid, so far, (based on inflated figures) .. are better than 99%

*This information comes from the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases map developed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering.

We are in a heap of trouble with the most expensive and least effective health care system among developed nations. We have a moron at the helm who thinks he can second-guess doctors and scientists and a Senate without integrity or any sense of duty. Things will continue to deteriorate.

Albert King – I’ll Play the Blues for You (Composer Lyricist: Jerry Beach)

The best REAL solution is to shut down 48 expanding American wars to use those trillions protecting the health and well-being of humans on planet Earth. (I won’t hold my breath.)

Lisa Maragakis, M.D., M.P.H., senior director of infection prevention at Johns Hopkins, explains how the flu and COVID-19 are similar and how they are different.

Similarities: COVID-19 and the Flu

Symptoms

Both Flu and Covid cause fever, cough, body aches, fatigue; sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.

Can be mild or severe, even fatal in rare cases.

Can result in pneumonia.

Transmission

Both can be spread from person to person through droplets in the air from an infected person coughing, sneezing or talking.

Flu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear,

and COVID-19 is believed to be spread in the same manner, but we don’t yet know for sure.

Treatment

Neither virus is treatable with antibiotics, which only work on bacterial infections.

Both may be treated by addressing symptoms, such as reducing fever.

Severe cases may require hospitalization and support.

Prevention

Both the more widespread common flu and COVID-19 may be prevented by frequent, thorough hand-washing, coughing into the crook of your elbow, staying home when sick and limiting contact with people who are infected.

What can be done to avoid this virus?

Care for yourself and your family with good nutrition, plenty of rest, proper hydration, regular exercise and stress management. Always stay home if you don’t feel well and avoid others who are sick. .

Rather than obsessing over this virus, we can move forward with intelligence, commitment and purpose by remaining calm. .

Continue protecting yourself from coronavirus, which includes colds, the flu and Covid-19. If you are NOT sick, do not go to the hospital, because hospitals are currently areas of risk. .

Wash your hands frequently.

Clean and sanitize your environment

Wear a face mask in areas of risk

Physically distance yourself from others (six feet)

Stay home when sick and avoid others who are sick.

Carry a handkerchief and/or cough into your elbow

Hopefully we can get elected officials to reopen schools, colleges, libraries, universities, and research facilities so we can effectively deal with this virus. Arbitrary shutdowns of Mom and Pop businesses are counterproductive.

Currently, America has the most expensive and least effective health care among developed nations. This can be changed.

We must shut down 48 unprovoked and unnecessary but simultaneous and expanding wars enforcing illegal extraction, exploitation and extortion. No nation on the planet has attacked America. But American exports of terror, munitions and dozens of expanding wars continues to bankrupt this nation and cripple the planet.

Dozens of American wars of aggression are the primary cause of global warming.

Blessings for healing.

Note: Many hospitals are counting among the dead even those who DID NOT test positive for the virus.

https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html

Why are we pretending Covid-19 is more dangerous than it may be?

Death rate

The death rate from seasonal flu is typically around 0.1% in the U.S., according to news reports.

The death rate for COVID-19 is also less than 1%.

Credible research suggests this is low, considering that there is no vaccine.

It’s important to note that there is no one death rate for COVID-19; the rate can vary by location, age of person infected and the presence of underlying health conditions,

Live Science previously reported.

… As the number of confirmed cases goes up, the fatality rate may decrease.”

B. B. King – The Thrill Is Gone (Live at Montreux 1993)

The thrill is gone.

The Flu is currently more lethal and widespread than COVID-19 …
but both diseases can be avoided or prevented with common sense.

… so wash your hands, stay home when you are sick and avoid others who are ill.

Both the flu and COVID-19 may be prevented by frequent, thorough hand washing, coughing into the crook of your elbow, staying home when sick and limiting contact with people who are infected. Or use a handkerchief when you cough. When visiting the hospital or in areas of known high risk of transmission, wear an appropriate mask properly.
