More fear porn?

  • It seems like they're turning the fear porn up to 11. The other nationwide news stories about young people who died (or almost died) from COVID-19 weren't scary enough.

    Seriously? If this guy's description were the typical case, Coronavirus would have about a 90% fatality rate -- for any age group.

    Hey, you forgot one of the guy's symptoms -- bleeding out of every orifice in the body.

    I have to wonder if these cases are true or just fear porn. Why aren't there videos and news stories about "who we lost" -- or are they all mostly old people would have died of the next pneumonia or influenza virus they caught, and it just happened to be COVID-19 that did the job?

    Remember that "a few healthy young people" die from JUST THE FLU every year.

    “Driving home back to New Orleans we were both just exhausted. I actually got a little bit better, but my wife got sick, [she] tested negative for COVID and then ended up testing positive for the flu,” he continued. “A week later I lost my sense of smell and taste and then the next day it just hit me like a freight train.

    King said his “fever was out the roof” and he ended up going to the hospital.
    “They sent me home and then 15 hours later I was back in the hospital with pretty severe pneumonia on my left lung,” he said.

    His wife Kristen said she was terrified. She said she tried to take care of him at home, but his pneumonia progressed and his temperature was almost 104 degrees.

    “The pain was so severe. He was barely talking to me so I knew at that point we needed to take him into the ER so he could get proper care,” she said.
    Describing the symptoms King said, “I couldn't breathe, my cough was terrible. I felt I pulled a chest muscle. My entire body, including my teeth, hurt. I was throwing up. I had diarrhea, my temperature was really high in the hospital. Those first two nights I was worried I wouldn’t make it out of there.
    “I was only allowed to have a sheet. They had ice on my head, under my armpits and my groin. It was very, very scary time,” he continued.

  • A better question in my mind is what's up with all the newbies posting hoax propaganda all of a sudden?  Are those Russian and Chinese agents trying to confuse the American public?

    Good post! I don’t know, but when I’m feeling one tenth as bad as that with the flu, I’m praying that the lord take me ASAP.
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

    I think your Jєωιѕн press in America and the West has already done a good job with that.
