6,500 Corona Virus Deaths Already?


6,500 Corona Virus Deaths Already?

6500 deaths from the coronavirus. That sounds like a lot, right? That's 6,500 people in the whole world. If you look at what that means, it's 6,500 people out of 7.8 billion. Not so large now, right? You also might consider what the coronavirus is. It's the virus of the common cold. Sure there's no cure. Nobody has found a cure for the common cold because there are so many variations of the viruses that cause the common cold.


See, if you toy with the words and numbers, you can make something like the common cold sound scary. You take the number of people infected and leave out the 7.8 billion. You push the word “deaths” and “virus” leaving out the fact that it's the virus of the common cold and use them together in the same sentence as frequently as possible. Now you have people scared. They're panicking and running to the stores to clean out the shelves, stocking up on, of all things, toilet paper. Now that people are really scared, you keep pushing scary words and the small number of the 6,500/7,800,000,000,000 or however many people have the common cold (which will increase as the cold spreads) and it will sound even scarier.

Oh NO! There are 8,500 deaths from it now! Last week it was only 6,500. That's still only 8,500 out of 7,800,000,000,000 or 8,500/7,800,000,000,000ths. How fast does the common cold spread? Pretty fast, I would say. They say that this strain spreads faster, so let's say that this week it's 11,000 cases. 11,000/7,800,000,000,000 is still a very small percentage, but you still publish the 11,000 and not the 7,800,000,000,000. Now you have people hoarding canned goods, bleach, toilet paper, and anything else they think will help. People are starting to fight in the aisles over hand sanitizer and all of the other goods. That was fun! Let's have some more fun. Let's make sure that it's all over the airwaves and the internet and get the politicians in on it too. Great! Now people are starting to shoot each other and riot in the streets! That's more like it! What else can we do that with?

I hope you see where I'm going with this. Well, where I went. Now things are ripe for taking guns from the population, instating Martial Law, and anything else we want that we can scare you about. We've scared you enough to keep you inside your houses, in your basements, and in your fallout shelters. Fantastic! People won't walk outside and talk to their neighbors and see that everything is alright. They will be interested in buying new technology to keep themselves entertained inside. Large screen televisions, video games, and new interactive technologies are flying off the shelves, even at the ridiculous prices we're asking for them.  Our stock is rising at an incredible rate.


Who knew people were that gullible. Let's do some more.  People are now buying guns and ammo, not only to protect their toilet paper but to protect themselves from people who are panicking over the cold.   So it goes on and on. Scaring people to keep them inside by keeping the scare hype going and raking in the profits, posting hype articles and memes to keep people scared. Scaring them within an inch of their lives so we can rake in more profit. Relax, people. Don't fall for the hype.
