Please state CLEARLY what fake news the  'mainstream media'
     is pushing regarding the FAKE PANDEMIC.

   I don't actually attend to the news much but this is clearly quite
   important to people like you.  You'd like more data on why COVID is
   such a big different deal.  I don't have that data, but I can try to
   worry about it more.  Seems China is related and like the tracks are
   still unfolding.

   Maybe this can clear up a little:  medicine in general has always
   seemed immature to me.  I think it's inhibited by profit interests, but
   everyone has a different explanation.
   When something's wrong, you go to the doctor, they listen to you, and
   prescribe something that deals with yours symptoms and ignores the
   cause.
   - they don't tell you how to live healthier
   - they don't collate your data to add to studies
   - they don't nourish your disease resistance, rather than reduce your
   suffering
   - they don't educate you or people in your community on treating such
   things in the future
   All of these points do the same thing.  People rely on doctors more.
   People get less healthy and develop more diseases.  And more and more
   money goes to people who make drugs.
   I've had issues a lot over the course of my life, and very rarely has
   going to a doctor helped my physical health.  What it does help is the
   anxiety of my family when I am suffering.  It's very effective at that,
   but ends up getting them to send you to doctors more.
   Many, many people share this story.
   But personally, I had an incredible immune system and really good
   personal introspection, and then later in life I briefly studied
   wilderness living.  Before I was suddenly crippled by psychosis and a
   rare cancer, I had repeatedly found that I could treat my own issues
   better than a doctor did, because I could learn parts of their causes
   and paths a little bit by exploring my experiences.
   I never missed a day of school.
   Western doctors don't care if you have some weird personal analysis.
   They follow their books and trainings.
   So diseases seemed a sham to me.  When people hid from diseases, I had
   even been taught in school that that is how you weaken your immune
   system.  It sure is good at making everyone lonely, too.
   There's also a big thing about the director of the FDA in the USA some
   time ago losing their job because they started supporting natural
   medicine, which happens to pharmacologically be a suitable free
   replacement for pharmaceuticals in most (not all) situations.  Free,
   because not only can you grow plants yourself, they grow wild
   everywhere.  They work quite reliably.  There's a lot of
   counter-advertising around buying them overseas (which is a pretty
   weird, inefficient, and popular thing to do), or using them without
   proper knowledge.  It's true, most things in the universe can be
   ineffective or dangerous if used without proper knowledge.
   Anyway, when I hear the newspapers are telling everyone to lock their
   doors and hide from each other, I figure it's just another big fear
   thing.  People get scared.  When they're scared, they spread the fear
   to keep each other safe.
   Nobody's always right.  And everything has a grain of truth.  Sometimes
   those grains are big.  Sometimes they fight.  We don't need to fight,
   do we?
