So, Now What?

A commentary not built on biblical wisdom but on common sense

The medical profession and the news media are going to keep this virus with us forever. Neither group has a definitive answer. I expect the medical profession to eventually get a handle on this virus but there will surely be a second and third virus outbreak. Viruses mutate and it will take much more than ‘social distancing’ to overcome the virus’s ability to infect individuals.

The news media is too political to be smart—they are only looking for the next daily headline. What facts they give us today will be outdated within a week, and they cannot predict the future of the virus even though they would like us to think they can. Oh, how ignorance breeds ignorance.

So, I am asking you, “What now?” Are we never going back to school? Will we ever be able to get a haircut again? How about flying in an airplane, not until 2030? Insanity only produces more insanity. What are we fearful of? They want us to be fearful of getting sick. Most of us will never have any symptoms even though we get or have gotten the virus. Are they afraid of someone dying? With the halt to our economy, there are less people dying now per capita even with the spread of the virus. Here is the bottom line: are we dumb, fearful, and are digging our own graves? We will not die of the virus but have chosen rather to die by mental suicide in accepting a slow long death of living with constant fear.

Here are the facts:

1. The virus is everywhere even on the bottom of our shoes—you cannot avoid the virus.

2. The virus can travel 3, 6, 13 feet who knows how many feet—maybe 2 miles.

3. If you chose to live in a city where people are literally living on top of each other, you will have a higher chance of getting sick because you are living in a self-imposed incubator. Because of your physical geography you are breeding the virus in large volumes by being made to stay in your self-imposed prison.

4. Wearing a cloth mask cannot protect you from the virus unless the virus is traveling on a large water molecule—wearing a cloth mask offers a false sense of security.

Want the virus to go away, most Americans must come down with the virus. We need to build up antibodies, so the virus does not come back next fall, next year, or for the next 10 years. I consider the news media and the medical profession to be ‘dumb and dumber’ with their pride and their use of limited information.

Let’s begin to be practical about this virus. One, it is time to go back to work but in control environments. Two, it is time for kids to be back in school but with a school nurse and school personnel doing their jobs monitoring student health. It is time to begin flying, driving, walking, running, and even water skiing. Get over it, America! If you are one of the vulnerable groups, you need to do everything to keep you well and healthy. But for all others, get the virus, get over the virus, and become part of the solution—by not allowing the virus to infect America again.

Want to do something good for your neighbor, family, the elderly, the person with a compromised immune system, and your community—then do not be afraid to get the virus, build up antibodies and begin to spread the antibodies. This is how we help each other and build a stronger America.

Fear only makes one dumber; intelligence creates a plan for healthy living.
