Inert Virus:

How do you kill something that isn't really alive?

We keep hearing medical researchers describe the Corona virus as a kind of an inert microbe that shows no signs of life until it infects a living organism.

That's diabolically clever on the part of Ma Nature who sees her job as one to keep all life on this planet in balance. That includes humans.

Medical researchers have, in the past, managed to come up with vaccines which worked almost flawlessly when dealing with live microbes like smallpox and Polio. Now, when confronted with a sneaky little inert virus, their vaccines get spotty results at best. All they can do is treat the symptoms, relieving mucus blockages and fevers in patients flocking to the hospitals to seek relief.

This, however, does not stop the media from exploiting this medical disaster to sell a shipload of merchandise .

The administrations, of course, go right along with this. Politicians see it as a potential disaster to their personal status if they disagree with what the public has been led to believe.

What's being promoted in the media right now, is "So who dares question SCIENCE?"

To their credit, science isn't actively promoting science fiction. They're just de-emphasizing the truth and enhancing the fiction.

The Corona virus, in the form of Covid, is not about to go away. We're just going to have to learn to live with it. 

That means adjusting our lifestyles to improve our core health, not buying armloads of everything offered by the merchandising community.

Media Chore:

Here's something new for mainstream media types to do when they've run out of ideas for exciting material to insert between their commercials.

Instead of the boring daily litany of statistics re the number of people infected with the plague virus, they could dazzle sensation-starved viewers with an accounting of who killed more people over the last 24 hours: Putin, or Covid? 

That should be a lot more exciting than comparing yesteday's boring numbers with today's; who's agreed to run a rainbow flag up the pole, or what exciting new demands are being made of the Pope.
