I just read that the state of Florida has reported thirteen deaths to children under the age of 5 to infection....but not to the Coronavirus, but rather to the hum drum boring old flu. How is this not newsworthy??? When the very first known incident of what is known as pediatric death due to covid-19 occured a couple days back it was world wide news. But 13 deaths in just one state is ignored???
And fatalities of this nature from the flu are not uncommon....they happen in similar numbers every year.
If one can justify putting the enconomy into a coma to save lives from coronavirus, why not when as many as 61,000 Americans die from influenza each and every year....especially with many of the deaths being very young children. Does it only matter if its a new virus???
Death is a part of living....people die every day, probably 1+million each and every day world wide. Are there things we could do to lessen the toll? Certainly....30,000 or so Americans die each year in car accidents, and that is tragic. Should the United States restrict all non-essential driving to lessen the toll?
I'm convinced the actions being taken are going to be worse than if nothing had been done....increased suicides and bankruptcies, domestic violence and divorce, substance abuse.....the list is too big.
Praying everyone is well and safe, God Bless
