Saying, “We don’t yet know,
but we are looking at all aspects of the problem,” or, “This is the most
dangerous disease ever to affect the world and everybody should remain at home
until we develop a cure.”
Every government agency from
the federal U.S. D.C. government to state governments, county governments and
city offices put out all kinds of rules and requirements, when in actuality, none knew what was going on and
all made rules based on guesses by so-called scientists and by hysterical rants
from news organizations.
‘The
CDC’s New ‘Best Estimate’ Implies a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate Below 0.3%’
“According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), the current ‘best estimate’ for the fatality rate among
Americans with COVID-19 symptoms is 0.4 percent. The CDC also estimates that 35
percent of people infected by the COVID-19 virus never develop symptoms. Those
numbers imply that the virus kills less than 0.3 percent of people infected by
it—far lower than the infection fatality rates (IFRs) assumed by the alarming
projections that drove the initial government response to the epidemic, including
broad business closure and stay-at-home orders.”
What we will not hear from any government
spokesman or agency: “We are sorry for the inconvenience our mistakes caused,
for the billions of dollars lost to workers and companies and especially for the
needless deaths of those who did as we recommended.”
In each of the four Army NCO academies I attended, leadership instructors told students: “Don’t think you have to know
everything. If your soldiers ask a question you don’t know the answer to, don’t
try to bullshit an answer. Say, ‘I do not know the answer to your question, but
I will find the answer and let you know.' And then, do what you said you would
do.” Army leadership is big on “Don’t bullshit your soldiers.” Too bad civilian
politicians aren’t as honest.
