Questions Worth Asking:

Six Ways Why Coronavirus® Fails the Sniff Test

 Doug Lynn

Only one form of contagion travels faster than a virus. And that’s fear.

― Dan Brown, Inferno 

It appears reaction to Coronavirus® has wreaked more carnage globally than the virus itself. Although a 2-3% mortality rate is nothing to sneeze at, it’s not exactly a Biblical plague either; even if virtually none of it passes the sniff test.

Given how Coronavirus® has been reported, coupled with how it’s been handled, its dubious origins, the alleged number of infected and deceased, as well as the age and general health of those who are reported to have died….something stinks.

As I indicated in my last article, it seems Coronavirus® has, indeed, become the new Terrorism®.  The dark powers wantthe panic. They need the hysteria. Why? For diversion, control, or all the above.

There can be no doubt the mainstream media is NOT trying to downplay COVID-19. Just the opposite.  Except what makes this latest remarketing of coronavirus different than 911®, Weapons of Mass Destruction®, and The War on Terror®, is that, this time, the Alternative Internet is on board – even to the point of citing Orwellian Media sources.

In any event, healthy skepticism is not close-mindedness, per se, because we may one day have a genuine pandemic on our hands.  But Coronavirus® doesn’t present the way one would expect if real.  Instead, the hysteria has a sort of Y2K vibe to it all.

So I ask you, Dear Reader, what if all the numbers and the reporting regarding the contagiousness, infectivity, and mortality of Coronavirus® were completely erroneous? Or, worse…, complete bullsh*t like the Russian Dossier and the whistleblower behind Operation Ukrainian Impeachment.

What if the Chinese were punked?

What if every single human being on earth who has ever lived, has had coronaviruses in their system at one time or another and the math was exactly the same?

What if SARS and MERS were similar psyops played out…. when? During peak flu season.

Because, if all the fundamentals are wrong, then so will be the conclusions.

Let us count the ways Coronavirus® fails to pass the sniff test:

1.) The Hype

Again, this blogger’s speculation is that Coronavirus® is the remarketing of coronavirus via COVID-19®, and the selective reporting is the hype.  Because this urgency behind Coronavirus® in the news makes African AIDS look like the sniffles.

It also has become completely obvious that certain names/entities consistently appear in the COVID-19® coverage (in both the mainstream and alternative media): The Gates Foundation, John Hopkins University, and UK’s The Guardian.

From last fall:  Event 201, a pandemic exercise to illustrate preparedness efforts

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences.

And this from a few days ago:

Governments Will Use The Coronavirus Card To Downgrade Estimates And Increase Interventionism

The John Hopkins University Coronavirus Global Cases Monitor shows that the mortality rate of the epidemic is very low. At the close of this article, 87,470 cases, 2,990 deaths and 42,670 recovered.

It is normal for the media to focus on the first two figures, but I think it is important to remember the last one. The recovered figure is more than ten times the deceased one. This should not make the reader ignore the epidemic, but it is also worth reading the scientific study that shows that the death rate in citizens under 60 is less than 1.3%, 0.2% in young population, and on average it is a maximum of 4% (“The Epidemiological Characteristics of an Outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Diseases”, February 2020).

Additionally, the John Hopkins people have been incessantly interviewed throughout the cable news universe.

Now consider the timeline:  On Sunday, February 2, 2020, the first COVID-19 death outside of China was reported:

Indeed. The Gates Foundation. And the hits keep coming.

What about the timing of the first recorded COVID-19® death that occurred outside of China? It was one day before the Iowa Caucuses were held (2-3-2020) where the results were massaged to raise Mayor Pete over Bernie and bump Biden to the bare minimum viability.

It was also two days before the Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined in Japan (more on this in # 4 below) and three days before Trump was acquitted in the Senate.

Certainly, it would be a stretch to believe the hype behind a “new” global virus would be geared to somehow affect the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election… but in the age of 911, Russiagate, and Operation Ukrainian Impeachment – would anything surprise me?

Nope. Probably not.

However, it could be that everything we’re seeing regarding COVID-19 is real; which would be amazing since it would be the first time in decades the Orwellian Media got it right. Maybe even the first time ever.

And, now, it’s been reported Coronavirus® “threatens to disrupt” the 2020 Campaign.

Empty stadiums and no more selfie lines? Coronavirus becomes 2020 X-factor.

If the virus does spread, the mechanical implications for campaigns could be profound.

And what about The Guardian? Always The Guardian:

Coronavirus: Pence defends Trump Jr claim Democrats want ‘millions’ to die | World news | The Guardian

Why, those tenacious Brits are everywhere. Even on the ground in Washington State?

Coronavirus: Washington state nursing home placed on lockdown | World news | The Guardian

Because Coronavirus® is everywhere. All day. Every day.

An especially good benchmark is what’s being reported via cellphone apps because these are primarily what the Bubbleheads see. The headlines are also queued onto internet browsers and e-mail platforms.

This from Yahoo News recently:

Global virus death toll tops 3,000 as cases soar around world

But after several paragraphs of doom, we read, way down the page, that the second death in Washington State was…

….a man in his 70s with underlying conditions….

Again, nothing to sneeze at, but still not the Bubonic Plague either, as it seems to be presented in the media.

Like SARS, coronavirus is pneumonia. But is COVID-19® worthy of the hype with a 1-3% mortality rate?  Especially, when most of those who have died were considered “medically high risk”?

Again, it seems the panic over COVID-19® is causing more problems than the virus itself.

So maybe Churchill had a point when he said: “The only thing to fear is fear itself.”

According to the World Health Organization (WHO):  pneumonia killed 808,694 children under the age of 5 in 2017, accounting for 15% of all deaths of children under five years old.

That’s 67,000+ a month! Little kids dying around the world.

Where were the headlines?

But COVID-19? Less than 100,000 infected and a little more than 3,000 reported deaths at the time of this writing. And that’s the John Hopkin’s numbers.  But even IF the reporting was bogus and the mortality rate was as high as 6 to 11% as some have claimed, then wouldn’t faulty reporting mean the number of infected could be higher as well? And wouldn’t that reduce the mortality rate also?

Furthermore, if COVID-19 spreads so easily, then why only less than 100,000 cases worldwide?  Especially considering that China is the most populous nation on earth.

Now consider that Aspiration Pneumonia has a mortality rate of 21% overall, 29% hospital-associated, and 30-62% in “older, sicker patients”.

And, according to the CDC Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report:

CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 32 million flu illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths from flu.

Honestly, it seems COVID-19 has even less stamina worldwide than Joe Biden on the campaign trail.

The New England Journal of Medicine has speculated that coronavirus could be no worse than the flu:

An editorial published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine speculated that the coronavirus currently causing panic in world markets could turn out no worse than “a severe seasonal influenza” in terms of mortality.

So is COVID-19 real or is it a marketing gimmick?  How would you know for sure?
