There is no longer any excuse

Australia and New Zealand are doing awfully well right now, aren’t they? Unfortunately this can shoot up terribly fast. That is the pattern we have seen in many different countries.

The United States is doing so badly, I have started to look for reasons why. One site attributes this to the decisive action taken by other countries while America fumbled with poor leadership and a bloated but inefficient medical system. In my own cynicism as a citizen of this country, the coronavirus looks to me to be just another way that American medical industry can suck even more money from the people (it is a gold mine to them), so why should they do so much to put a stop to it.

Another site shows how world opinion of the US has plummeted to an all time low, ranking the US far lower than any other country including China.

But mostly I put it down to a difference in priorities which puts public health and safety on the bottom of the list. We see this in the lack of gun control and the frequency of mass shootings. It is difficult to find a country anywhere in the world which can compare to this (unless you include countries in the middle of a civil war employing terrorism like Yemen).

I agree with you that there is fault to be found with the medical system, but not only in the USA, because I have seen plenty of evidence that they don’t want’ people in control of their health. They want people feeling helpless and needing medical treatments. It is a several trillions of dollars industry worldwide and it wouldn’t be that without people unable to help themselves. Posting any information that points to a nocebo effect and how a person can gain control over their health gets your posts hidden or deleted. And on this site too. Why is that? Indeed in all of the big pharma funded cancer sites I have been banned for using the words “spontaneous remission”.

I don’t think that leadership was to blame for the high numbers in the USA. After all they sent thousands to nursing facilities and caused a huge number of deaths. I wrote about that here Corona, False Alarm? Questions about a Book - #10 by Ani99 That has near doubled the number of deaths.

I blame the media too. In the USA there is a massive number of media horror stories, where as in China for instance there are only a very small number of media stories on covid 19. People who are terrified can become badly affected as the numbers show. In China the number of deaths are low compared to the number of people. In Australia there has been a big media coverage but most Australians don’t believe the media stories, so it has less effect.

How much of the gun control is contributing to the high number of mass shootings? I don’t think that owing a gun causes people to want to go out and shoot people. On the other hand I suspect that at least some of the mass shooting that appear as random may be contrived. I say that because I see psychiatrists become prominent in the media calling the killers mentally ill and thus branding everyone with a mental illness as potentially dangerous. Why do that?
