It’s not a hoax. But the “statistics” are all lies. The tests are not as reliable as the alarmists think they are. There is financial incentive to diagnose as many people as possible as infected, and to deem Covid as the cause of as many deaths as possible. You sign up for testing, get tired of waiting, and leave. You’re counted as a positive. You go in sick (insisting it’s not Covid) and the doctor tests you, with a positive result. You insist the test is wrong and two subsequent tests are negative. You’re counted as three positives. Your grandfather is dying of cancer, or pneumonia, or cardiac disease, and tests positive for Covid. Covid is the official cause of death. This happens every day, hundreds of times a day. But the politicians and the media ram these manufactured statistics down our throats. Last summer when I spent a week in Port Aransas the Corpus Christi station broadcast a headline story: ONE IN EIGHT COASTAL BEND RESIDENTS HAS COVID-19. They even posted the figures. I took a screenshot of the figures and after comparing them to the corresponding counties’ populations, I saw that every county except Nueces County had less than one percent of the population infected. Nueces County, which is Corpus Christi, was at 2.4%. Hardly one in eight.

Covid is certainly a concern, but it’s not a death sentence for most people, and the statistics you see in the media are a lie. Ask yourself why that is.

Hang in there Patrnflyr.

Well, I was released last night after a 9 day stay. I’ve been through three life/death occurrences in my life (including surviving cancer) and I can honestly say this COVID demon virus took me down to the lowest. From being in total isolation, gasping for oxygen at times, deciding if you want to be placed on a ventilator or not, it takes you down into Psalm 23 and the walking through the “valley of darkness” beyond description. People on this forum continually talk about bizarre dreams, extreme depression and wild psyche swings and I have to agree. All I can say is I’m home now and on oxygen for probably a another month. This is from a retired 63year old doctor who took care of myself and, two weeks ago, was walking a 15 minute mile pace for 5-10 miles/day. Please keep your guard up to the highest and just try to stay away from other people. I think we’re on the downhill stretch and this will all be history in 8-12 months. Thanks for all your prayers.
