Folks! we are experiencing a pandemic! This is history in the making; as the old saying goes. According to the media and history, this coronavirus pandemic is as deadly as the infamous Spanish flu. By now, I suspect that most of you have already heard and seen how this pandemic came about, and you are fully aware of where this planet is at the moment (well I hope you all do).
This is the breeding ground for conspiracy theorist, and snake oil healers. When I say snake oil healers I mean anyone selling anything that feeds on the fear and panic of people and it does not help them in any way shape or form. Usually, the conspiracy theorist is the snake oil salesperson. If they are not selling, then they are feeding people dangerous information that could be fatal. I say this to say that we all need to be more discerning when it comes to information about the Covid-19 pandemic and anything else for that matter. But for now, we are speaking about the Covid-19 virus pandemic. Many people claim to be experts in all kinds of things or knowers of best-kept secrets...a secret is not a secret when you tell someone else. I find that with all these experts and a ton of information coming at us as fast as you can drop a hot potato (maybe even faster than that), I don't know what to believe; what do I dismiss as rubbish? what information should I pass on to my loved ones to protect them? Who really knows what they are talking about? where do they get their information from or Can I find such information easily? etc..... It's so exhausting and so many people, including myself, get intellectually lazy and begin to just listen to whatever sounds good or feels good or seem strange but true or maybe even make one feel so SMART when they regurgitate what someone else deems to be the truth!
But let me say this it is better to be exhausted looking for the truth because the truth will set you free indeed! and, it will enable you to survive as the fittest. The questions I mentioned above are the questions you should be asking when you get information that does not seem to make sense. This I promise you will save your life and your loved ones. So as I close out my rant on the current pandemic Covid-19. I would like to give you my two cents (sense), please be careful about the information you hear that you can see makes no sense or you just don't feel you understand it. Ask the who, what, why and when questions then do the research. we are all in lockdown more or less all over the world. So we have the time to make sure we have the right information that will save our life and that of our family, friends even strangers. When you find credible information, please pass it on.
In the spirit of sharing, I would like to recommend this youtube channel "MedCram" to provide credible scientific information about the Covid-19 virus. the channels give you medical science information about the virus in as best layman terms as possible. Heck, if I can understand it you sure can! If anyone hasn't seen or heard of this channel I invite you to check it out.
