“What is it about people the more information we get in the name of being informed that greater the confusion and fear becomes.”

Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

Isaiah 47:10 For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, None sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

Jeremiah 4:22 For my people are foolish, they don't know me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

Some Facts: I was already frustrated with conservative media’s lockstep submission to academia’s notoriously wrong and persistently liberal fear-mongering, which was also and as usual being uncritically promoted by the U.S. political news media. So I’ll never forget when the Ohio Department of Health’s director, Amy Acton, along with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, went on Tucker Carlson’s show and were praised by Carlson for their wildly irresponsible comments and actions. Acton had just days earlier claimed that 100,000 Ohioans likely already have COVID-19. And at the time that terrified everyone because we were simultaneously being lied to about the morbidity and mortality of the virus by literally everyone in academia, government and media. Realizing she may have overstepped by floating an “estimate” from her position of power and authority, Acton soon began saying in subsequent interviews that she “was tired” when she made the claim. And she started to go down that road with Carlson, but a virtue signal-happy Tucker wouldn’t have it: he thanked her and praised her and said we need more people like her spouting off with irresponsible fear-mongering.

So now as we begin our national walk of shame away from the panic attack and back toward normalcy, DeWine should be among the more courageous who accept the reality that they were wrong; who stand and lead rather than cower and follow.

If we do the math on that, the death rate — a coveted figure used to identify and articulate the seriousness of a virus — that death rate for COVID-19 in Ohio is around 0.3%.
Put another way, statistically on par with the flu.

Notably but also underappreciated or discussed in the media, I say “suggestions” instead of “guidelines” or “orders” because American individuals should 100% have the right to decide what risk they want to assume in their own lives. For the vast majority of us as individuals, the risk will be almost non-existent. But once we as individuals contract it, the benefit to the rest of the population is tremendous as we become immune and can thus no longer spread it. By lovebreedsaccountablity
