When we have a measles outbreak, do we normally look to the federal or state government for help?
Do they have doctors and nurses on staff and medical facilities at their personal disposal?
If we call the state or federal Medicaid phone numbers, are they going to personally diagnose our illnesses, visit us, nurse us, feed us, and help us get healthy again?
NO.
Whom do we call, then?
We call 911, which contacts an ambulance service to pick us up and get us to a medical facility for necessary care.
Why, then, did the Democrats and the regular mass media publicly raise expectations that President Trump would take responsibility for solving the health problems caused by the Novel Corona Virus/the NC Virus?
Apart from the fact that the President rose to the occasion with his usual energy and creativity, why was he the one, who should take the blame for anyone getting sick or dying from a virus?
When have Americans ever accepted, as a solution to any problem, staying apart from each other, rather than joining together to do so?
There are many people, who are working a lot harder than usual, and they aren’t even recognized First Responders. But, without them, no one, let alone First Responders, would be able to help anyone. The indefatigable truckers, who worry about transporting the NC Virus from one place to another, must be considered expendable, as no one has them dress in protective clothing and stay six feet away from each other, as they carry out their indispensable work! There are many others, who will not allow the NC Virus Terror to stop them from carrying out their duties, as they should, and we should join them.
We cannot afford to allow fear of a virus to rule us and to take away our freedom to worship publicly, to live, to work, to recreate, and mingle, as we so choose. Normally, we would not look to the President to resolve a health crisis — we would look to The One, Who can solve every problem we have and who cares enough about us to do so — GOD!
Fear is a demon, and there are many types of fears, with their corresponding demons, which attack us. Each time, that we give in to them, they have more and more influence over us and will often block us from using faith and reason/logic to defeat them and to come up with workable solutions to our problems.
Obstacles to going back to what was a normal way of living:
1. Exaggerated FEAR of the virus, as if it were the plague. Fear of what could happen to us, our loved ones, as well as the elderly and those with health problems.
2. Patriotism/group think — follow the rules — the government’s rules/media doctors’ rules, and everything will be all right:
a. Social distancing
1. Not going to church to worship The God, Who gives us every breath we take and Who loves us enough to have sacrificed His Only-Begotten Son to save us from hell and Who Is in complete control of everyone and everything, through His Ordaining and Permissive Will.
2. Not going to work and getting paid, anyway — socialism. Thus, we are ruining not only our own economic lives but also that of the country. It is now considered patriotic not to work. How the mighty Americans have fallen!
What, then, should our response to the NC Virus Terror be? We should cultivate a wise “fear” of GOD, which is not a demon, but a logical attitude towards GOD, against Whom we are powerless, and without Whom we could not exist. We should go back to church and publicly and openly worship GOD, show our love for Him, repent of our sins, and plead for Mercy on us and our country, especially for our corporate sins against human life, such as abortion/baby-killing and euthanasia/ murder of the elderly and the handicapped. GOD Is The Only One, who can free us of the unreasonable fear, which has been programmed into us through the media and various government officials.
Regarding the televised statistics on the NC Virus, which are used to keep us paralyzed with fear, let us look at them through a different lens.
Which is really more important to us — the number of cases or the number of deaths caused by the virus? Obviously, we should concern ourselves more with the mortality rate.
Let’s compare the mortality rate of the NC Virus with other things that Americans frequently do, which they would not contemplate giving up, and which have a high or complete rate of death associated with them.
Scrutinize the following chart, and ask yourself why we have taken so many drastic steps to avoid the virus when the death rate is so low.
If you divide the current number of deaths caused by the virus — by the current number of Americans — approximately 330,000,000 — the percentage is: .006!
