HOW IS THIS VIRUS DIFFERENT FROM……

Why has this virus been so damaging, not only to life, but to livlihoods, to whole national economies when others have not.
1)

The answer is in the incubation period. That someone could contract this virus and walk about spreading it for 10-14 days before others show as infected,... 2)

meaning this virus makes it almost impossible to track down individuals, isolate them, and deal with their illness before they can infect many others. 3)

So Governments around the world have imposed ways to isolate people from one another. Some more harsh than others. Some more burdensome that others. And the consequence will be economic damage to millions. 4)

And people are complaining, but not offering better ideas for mitigating the effects of this viral spread. Mostly because they keep thinking of this as any other virus, which misses the point. 5)

Because theoretically, if one could isolate everyone for 28 days completely, this virus would be finished, but that is not a reasonable solution, .... 6)

though it looks like that 28 days of incomplete isolation might not be sufficient until effective treatments & even a vaccine are on the market.

Now this might all sound hopeless. Let the disease beat us or let our economies die. But it is not as hope less as it sounds. 7)

The flattening of the cure was a useful idea to lessen the immediate effect of massive numbers flocking to medical facilities in panic. And worldwide, that has been accomplished it seems. We have turned the corner as they say. 8)

But there are some positive things to look forward to.

First of all, Countries whose economies were growing at a reasonable rate pre-virus, & whose economics should positive fundamentals at work .... 9)

(low unemployment, growth rates of near 3% of better, low ratio of national debt to GDP, and degree of self-sufficiency, and the creativity within a society) will soon start growing again & may experience a rather quick bounce back due to pent-up demand. 10)

If you want to know who will bounce back rather quickly, look at these elements of economies country by country.

Second, treatments are being developed every week & a vaccine will be developed & on the market much faster, it appears, than predicted by the doom & gloom crowd.

Third, a ll we heard on TV & Radio since this started, where predictions by experts based on “models”, but understands something, models are based on the date at the moment.
12)

They do not include change in season, innovation, & the differences in human behavior & creativity, & so, generally, for the last 150 years, predictions based on models have failed. 13)

Learn about Malthus. Learn about the predictions of Israel’s survival in 1947-9, or more recent, experts in the media that all predicted that Trump would never move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Be skeptical. Look at all the evidence. Ignore models. 14)

Fourth, we have to understand the danger created by the world’s economy being so tired to China, to a Communist dictatorship that has been very smart in its efforts of getting away with anything it chose, economically, & in recent years, even militarily. This has to change.
