Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

You forgot murderer and torturer.

Hmmm.....but I didn't forget torturer.
Yes, he's also a spineless little man and I hereby challenge him to a log-rolling contest in a alligator-infested pond while wearing a vest stuffed with a raw chicken and steaks.......if I get there late go ahead start without me, Fauci-Wowzi.

There's a special place in Hell for anyone that tortures dogs.

But that's what the leftist pro-abortionists say....except when they're talking about vaccinations, then it's "your body MY choice."

Rules for thee not me, double standard.

Yep, new case in San Francisco, looked it up out of curiosity, 45 daily USA/UK flights (AA & Brit Air alone), 32 known cases in the UK, new strain been around for at least several weeks, doesn't take a math genius to figure a number of cases here in the USA already.

A just 3 years ago, you would come down with a viral infection of some sort, the doc would give you a generic anti-biotic and tell you call him in 5 days if it didn't get better. He no more knew what we had than we did. He just knew your body would fight it and make anti-bodies and you would feel better in a few days. Fast forward 2 years, now we make fuckin mountains out of mole hills, shut down the country and all the businesses because somebody coughed. Science still can't tell us what we have, because viruses are always mutating. Always have, always will. But, now they politicize it, give a forever mutating virus a generic name and ride the money maker right to the very end. It will never stop until everyone quits being a hypochondriac.

The hypochondriac in all of us
Hypochondriasis, what we typically call hypochondria, can be a serious illness, in which case it consists of “a preoccupation with the idea of being ill and spending so much of your time and effort looking for a diagnosis and treatment that you can’t function normally,” explains Dr. Steven Dubovsky, chair of the department of psychiatry in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo.

“In more minor forms, hypochondriacal preoccupations are common in all of us when we feel stressed,” Dubovsky says. “Everyone, if they don’t feel well or they’re under stress, becomes a little self-preoccupied and starts worrying about their health.” Especially now, with the barrage of news about outbreaks and deaths around the globe. “When you feel like you’re in danger, or you’re stressed or anxious, you’re going to naturally be more aware of minor bodily dysfunction that happens to us all the time.”

Part of the problem is we’re suckers for anecdotes. Scientists have established that the risk of serious illness and death from Covid-19 goes up with age. But if you heard the news that a baby and a teen died of Covid-19 in China, you might then generalize to the notion that babies get the coronavirus. “No,” Dubovsky says. “One baby was reported who had it, out of thousands and thousands of people who have this illness.”

Dubovsky’s first piece of advice to anyone struggling with anxiety or worried about how they feel physically right now: “Shut off the 24-hour news.”

Ahem WHO?

That guy is a big a fraud as Brandon and Fauci are. All those emails that got released earlier this year, all he was worried about was collecting multimillions of dollars from each member nation. I lost track how many e-mails he sent out, asking the mebers to hurry and put pressure on their countries leaders to extract money out of them.

Infectious disease specialist Dr. Kim Woo-joo of Korea University Hospital in Guro, southern Seoul, said in a phone interview that one of his patients had to undergo testing six times, complaining of coronavirus symptoms despite repeated negative results.

All her tests and chest scans, which came back normal, failed to reassure the patient, he said.
“She still panicked about the possibility that she or her family were coming down with the virus infection,” he said, adding that he advised her to take psychological help.

Psychiatrist Dr. Koo Ja-hyun at a mental health center in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, said patients with anxiety were more prone to experience such imagined or exaggerated symptoms that their physical examination does not reflect.
“This condition is known as the somatic symptoms disorder, which is where patients are preoccupied with falling gravely ill,” he said. “Getting tested and having the results confirm they are OK can help ease the fear.”


The pandemic has prompted many to attempt self-diagnosis, as reported symptoms of the virus share similarities with other common illnesses such as allergy.
