Giving agency to inanimate objects

Have you noticed how the media constantly says things like ‘The Pandemic’ has wreaked havoc on the economy ‘The Pandemic’ is causing a rise in suicides and drug use ‘The Pandemic’ has cost people their jobs.

It’s the same thing they do with gun violence.  Guns are the agent, rather than the wielders of said weapon.  

In this case, The Pandemic is being touted as the agent, not the people who implemented horrible policies.  Not the people who consistently lie and change the goalposts.  Not the people, who now think that they give us our freedoms, not God and not as guarded by the Constitution.

There is no responsibility and no accountability for these people.  They are able to hide behind The Pandemic as the grubby little people behind the curtain.

ETA:  They are also setting the conversation…  at this point in time, who really cares about a rise in positive tests for the Wuhan Virus??  Are people dying?  Are they needing additional care??  The answer to both should be ‘no’.  And the numbers here in the US bear that out.

There are a number of treatments and such out there to alleviate symptoms and doctors should know how to deal with this. 

So truly, who gives a rat’s half-eaten ass about the number of cases if those cases aren’t causing any more harm than any number of other ailments?  It’s now one more thing that is endemic and we deal with it.

They have proven that lockdowns and masking don’t do anything except hurt people.  But that’s now the go-to because control.  Governments around the world are showing themselves to be insane.

  2. Funny how, in most places, the use of ventilators and even intensive care units for COvid is incredibly low, despite what the Media implies…..

  3. In my opinion quarantining is for the sick, not for the healthy. The only reason why the government should have been involved in quarantining symptom-free individuals is to ensure that the health system was not overrun by COVID cases thereby tying up ventilators and beds that are needed for other emergencies. Also, in the early days of COVID, before the physicians really knew the best protocols to handle it, planning for the unknown by invoking a quarantine is probably justified. Things were certainly under control from last summer onward, so all restrictions should have been lifted and left to an individual’s choice whether or not to take the risk of infection. For 91% of the population, infection is a nuisance only, like having a bad cold. 9% of the population suffer from various conditions that make their immune system overreact to the Covid virus , and the immune system attacks their bodies. It is not the virus per se that sends these individuals to the hospital. It is their immune system’s response where vital organs are attacked, and the lungs are the Forst to go. Google “cytokine storm” and “Spanish flu 1918” and read the wiki articles.
