Before the Covid 19 Pandemic
...if ya remembers back before the covid 19 pandemic, there were several attempts to foist a different pandemic on us. Remember EBOLA? It was the darling of all the talking heads on the 24X7 news channels. It was like a fuse they couldn't keep lit. Then it went away. IMHO, it went away because even a layman can identify an ebola death once he has seen a few and then this ebola thing could really get out of hand. This Covid 19 pandemic is relatively harmless by comparison and if ya got a corpse and ya can't prove otherwise and the hospital gets twice the normal fee for handling a covid 19 death, then you died from it unless you can prove otherwise, and nobody is looking to do that and kill their newly found golden goose.
...now I am not a doctor so my thoughts are just wild ass guesses. I don't know that it's a scam, but I don't know that it isn't either. I know when we have a flu epidemic there's no trouble finding actual human beings suffering from it. This covid thingy? I know two people who were told they had it. One of em was in her mid 50's and had severe asthma. She died. The other was 88 years old and a heavy smoker all her life. She got over it in a couple of weeks and never used a ventilator. Other than that I know of no one personally who has had it, and the only proof I have that they actually had covid comes from people who have a vested interest in selling it and it is all in 'statistics' from somewhere else. Could this be like the much ballyho'd disappearing ice in some godforsaken frozen shithole near one of the polar caps.
Could be that I just don't trust the sumbitches.
There is definitely enough confusion and misdirection going on to make one at least suspicious.
