The World Is Not Ending

It just feels like it lately. This country and the world will get through this virus, but it will be much more difficult than many believe, and it may even be more difficult than many of the most pessimistic of us believe. However the strength of character of millions of Americans and other country’s citizens will get us through this. The frontline healthcare workers will lose their lives treating people that contract this terrible virus. The frontline firemen, sanitation workers, food workers will die. No one will hail them as heroes. 

Soon tattoo artists, hair stylists, gym workers, restaurant workers will die as we “reopen” ….desperate to get back to work and not lose our businesses. Our “service based” economy will pay a terrible price as the policies of reopening run head on into a virus that does not give a shit what your opinion is. It will kill you and if it doesn’t kill you, it can damage you permanently. Then just to make a point it can keep resurfacing in your body just when you thought you were viral free. Good luck believing this virus is just another flu.

I have taken care of every flu there was for over 40 years that I have been an MD. This bears no resemblance to any virus I have seen, but some of you have an opinion it is merely a flu. I don’t wish ill upon those of you that believe this but I do wish the sweet wonderful essential workers out there that get this horrible disease could give their disease to you so that they and their families don’t have to die. You ignorant, inconsiderate attitude should already be silenced by the 50,000 deaths (WITH OUR COUNTY IN QUARANTINE)…….just think what the numbers would be now if we hadn’t shut the damn, phony economy down. 

So here we go……let’s open up and see what happens. Magically the virus may burn out, or people may keep their distance enough that it doesn’t blow up until the fall. Maybe we’ll find a cure or a treatment. One thing is certain, you pollyanna mfrs can go shoot some lysol in your veins and cure it…..or stuff an ultraviolet light up your ass……..gl
