This is tinfoil hat stuff and is clearly politically motivated by far-right conspiracy theories. Below is the equivalent of a
stupid meme that is created on Facebook by cut, paste, and reposts. It makes it
no less stupid.
I don't care if you're
Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or vote for unicorns, if you're not asking
these questions you should be....
1. Why can you go to Walmart but not Kohl's?
Walmart sells essentials
such as food and medicine. Kohl’s does not.
2.
Why the Dollar store
and not a mom-and-pop shop?
As near as I can find out, Dollar
Store and similar stores sell essentials. Any mom and pop that also sell items
considered essential are also allowed to remain open if they meet proper
procedures for disinfecting and protecting people.
3.
Why can't you have elective surgery, but you can have an abortion which is elective?
Abortion is time-sensitive
and also not necessarily elective. In fact, several major medical associations
have asked that abortion be made essential.
4.
Why should you stay
inside but yet heat and sunlight kill the virus?
This is a myth. The virus
can live on surfaces for up to 72 hours and in the air for up tt two or three hours. It
does degrade faster in sunlight and heat.
5.
Why can't kids (who
are not at risk) play on an outdoor playground, where sun kills this virus?
Kids are at risk, do
carry the virus and some have had been hospitalized with symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease. Also, see the above.
6.
Why don't people
know that these are "recommendations" not laws because they have not
gone through due process?
The Supreme court has, in
fact, ruled that during national emergencies local and Federal agencies have
much broader powers to protect the citizens.
7.
Why is it okay for
government officials to get a haircut, but not common citizens?
This question is simply ridiculous.
8.
Why the fear, when
this virus has a less than 1% death rate?
The current death rate in
the US is 5.8 percent and higher world-wide. All other math percentages are
speculative.
9.
Why have coroners
questioned death certificates listed as CV-19?
What is the source for
this question? In fact, one death that was ruled heart-failure has since been
rechecked after the deceased’s wife tested positive. The death certificate was
altered so that Covid 19 was a contributing factor. It also indicates that
Covid was in the US early than originally thought. The only question that has
arisen is whether it is a contributing factor.
10.
Why are areas like
Chicago and NY gearing up for mass vaccination?
Everyone is hoping for
this and a few places are starting to run trials. Preparation is important. Again, this is clearly a divisive and politically motivated question.
11.
What makes one
person essential and another not?
It all goes back to
essential service. People who work for essential services are currently essential.
Those who don’t aren’t.
12.
Doesn't shelter at
home; mean there is a whole population of people, not staying home so we can?
Honestly, this question
is nonsense and deserves no thought or response.
13.
Why are they
dividing us?
Who is they? Gotta love
the mythical “they.” If the poster really doesn’t care “if you’re a democrat or
a republican” ask what is clearly a political question.
14.
How do people not
know that we are a Republic, not a democracy?
What does this question
have to do with anything? For the record we are a constitutional republic where
some decisions are made through representatives and others by democratic vote.
15.
Where has the flu
gone?
Texas. Dumb question.
16.
Why do the homeless
consistently demonstrate the lowest infection rates?
Another myth. In some
homeless shelters over half the staff and half the residents tested positive.
17.
Why are they telling
us to mask up after 2 months of lockdown?
Protection. Good lord, do
some simple research.
18.
Why is the CDC
saying kids need to be masked when they return to school or attend church, when
they know cloth masks restrict oxygen?
See above.
19.
What is this
oppression and loss of liberty doing to the mental health of our kids...to us?
I cannot answer the
stupidity involved in this question.
20.
Why have most other
death rates dropped since the virus?
Source? At a guess, it’s
probably because the majority of us get it and have not been out doing things
that are stupid, and we are driving less.
21.
Why did world
leaders meet in China in October 2019?
Tin-foil hats are in the
closet on the left.
22.
Why are the common
people being controlled by the government and no one is controlling the
government?
Didn’t the poster just
announce we are a republic?
23.
Why are hospitals
paid more for Covid 19 deaths?
This is true. Congress
added 20 percent in the Medicare Care Act for covid diagnosis. There is no
evidence, however, that hospitals are purposely misdiagnosing to pad the bill.
24.
Why are some doctors
speaking out and then getting silenced?
The only doctors I’ve
seen are generally not qualified to speak on the subject and are not basing their
observations on anything but anecdotes and not scientific studies. Some have
been publicly condemned by their own organizations for their statements.
25.
Why did Obama give
the Wuhan lab $334 million dollars?
The original statement
was actually 3.7 million, but in any case, the simple truth is Obama didn’t.
What did happen was a grant was given by the National Institute of Health, a
government organization, to an organization working with Wuhan Institute of Virology to study
coronaviruses which also includes SARS in bats and the risk of potential
transfer to humans. A grant that was renewed by the NIH again
during the Trump administration. NIH has been giving out these grants since
2002
26.
What does a computer
geek have to do with a pandemic and why does he want 7 billion coronavirus vaccines?
I think the poster is
referring to The Institute
for Health Metrics which develops models to track the virus. There is
some debate, but they have identified other issues in the past using unusual
metrics to track medical problems. The requested money to develop their modeling computer programs to track the
spread, something that every epidemiologist says needs to be done. To date,
they have not received any more funding. I don't think anyone asked for 7 billion vaccines since there isn't a Covid-19 vaccine that exists.
27.
Why ID 2020, Agenda
21 and 2030?
Rated a false claim by Snopes.
Again, do some research.
28.
Why did the CDC have
a job posting for pandemic relief workers in November 2019?
I don’t know, maybe they
needed people, after all, Trump fired the entire pandemic team.
29.
Why did Dr. Fauci say
in 2017 that the Trump administration would be faced with a " SUPRISE
PANDEMIC " and then runs the pandemic team?
He was warning that we
were not prepared. He runs the team because that has been his job. He has
worked as a director in the health organization in the government since 1984
when he led the work on the AIDS epidemic.
30.
Why are they
infringing on Christians religious freedoms?
Again, who are they? No
one is infringing on freedom, what is being done is preventing large
congregations of people from spreading the disease. A number of hotspots have been directly tied to church
services in several states.
31.
Why can 500 people
shop at Menards or Home Depot, but we are not allowed to go into a church
building?
Again, it’s called social
distancing or has the poster not seen the spacing and entrance control at
essential service stores. Social distancing would be near impossible to do in a
church building. Church services are simply being held in new ways. Belief is
not in a building if you think it is, well, you get the idea of how shallow you
sound.
I have, by the way, verified
each of my answers. It took me less than 30 minutes to find the answers and a
little more time to type them. So if you want the sources, you can Google them
since if you’re posting this stuff, you aren’t verifying anything anyway.
