Just feel bad for all the doctors in US, they warned people and people go against them.
They have to treat critically ill people and make hard decisions on people’s life or death.
Yet the citizens just doesn’t care.
And when they are ill they just turn to these very doctors to save their life/problems.
What a joke we live in

Misinformation and fear mongering. Quarantine is for SICK people not healthy. Healthy people quarantined only lower their immune response and weaken the system. This is harmful misinformation intended to feed MSM’s anti-Trump narrative. These people will lie to you smiling and stab you in the back at the same time. DO NOT be stupid ! Go outside ! Ditch your mask and gloves as they do more to give you the virus then prevent it, hang out with your friends because herd immunity is being established. Wired is a rag of a magazine only here to profit off your fear and ignorance.

Its a lie to say “we’re all in this together,” It’s every man woman and child for themselves out there, you need to take personal responsibility and protect yourself and your family regardless of whatever is going on politically. A mask is cheaper than a $1500 hospital bill or worse a funeral that nobody can even attend anyway.

You missed one huge mistake. Ignoring nutritional deficiencies. A recent study showed that people with low levels of vitamin D3 in their blood were much more likely to have severe symptoms of covid19 infection.
Sufficient vitamin C is needed to get zinc into our cells where zinc can block virus replication.
Blood clots are a serious problem with covid19 infections. L-arginine is known to reduce unwanted blood clots.
Should doctors test everyone’s nutrient levels or at least provide or recommend nutritional supplements?
Is it possible to reduce the percentage of covid19 patients that have severe symptoms by taking a quality nutritional supplement?
Keeping our nutrient levels optimized for optimum health is possible but easier said than done. I know that I don’t eat a perfectly balanced diet and I don’t spend time in the sun every day, especially during lockdown. How many frontline health care workers are getting the sun and the nutrients they need for optimal health?
Check out the ingredients of my personal favorite nutritional supplement at:

Like not ignoring a new infectious disease and silencing people who try to warn the public in the early stages?
Or, realizing the disease is serious but pretending it’s not running rampant in a major manufacturing/transport city hub?
Or,’ waiting a week, after officially confirming human to human transmission, to inform the world body responsible for coordinating a global response?
I agree wholeheartedly.
