Reason Why Their Covid-19 Battle Is a Lost Cause
6 Words to Describe America's Reason Why Their Covid-19 Battle Is a Lost Cause
By Robert Alan Stewart
COMPLACENCY
America did not take covid-19 seriously enough but they were not the only ones. The Brazil president described it as a little flu. There was no organised plan for dealing with the pandemic. It was as though the disease will just fade away with time and everything will return to normal in a few weeks. In April (2020) President Trump said "I want everyone back to work by Easter."
It wasn't just the president who underrated coronavirus. The American people did as so many of the completely ignored social distancing and mask wearing rules.
ARROGANCE
America's response to covid-19 can be put down to arrogance. It is an unwillingness to learn from the experience of other countries such as Italy, Spain, and France. President Trump did say, "Europe is the epicentre of coronavirus," but none of the state's governors responded with any urgency. It is as though no one can teach them anything. Don't you know we (America) is the greatest country in the world. How dare anyone tell us what we should do. This is not entirely President Trump's fault; it is part of American DNA. The US certainly did not just become that way since Trump took office. It seems to be a part of their DNA.
PRIDE
Pride sees what is happening to other countries and says, "That will not happen to us." Once again, it is the inability of American politicians from learning from the experiences of other countries. Compare this to countries such as New Zealand and Australia that have seen how other countries have dealt with covid-19 and learned from their experiences.
SELFISHNESS
Selfishness is the main reason why America's death toll from covid-19 is the highest in the world. When New York was the epicentre of the American outbreak one of their neighbouring states talked about closing the border but the response was, "We will take legal action." It seems a lot of Americans are unwilling to make any sacrifice in order to save lives. In the Black LIves Matter protests, people went against health advice to participate in the protests and ignored social distancing rules.
APATHY
Apathy explains a person's attitude to anything. Apathy means, "You do not care about anything." The lack of social distance in America during the Black Lives Matter protests and the fourth of July celebrations shows how little so many cared about the risk of catching or passing on covid-19. So many have paid the ultimate price for America's apathy in responding to the covid-19 crisis that the finger should not be pointed at any one person in particular, especially the President.
INDIFFERENCE
Indifference is basically the same as apathy. The difference says, "If you are indifferent to something you have no interest in it." People who are indifferent about covid-19 think that it is other people who are making all the sacrifices. Just as long as their own lives are not being inconvenienced by the steps their government is taking to combat the spread of covid-19 they are happy.
Change does not come easily in America; those who have fought to bring about positive changes in society have experienced this. Often, changes in American society have been brought in as a result of changes in other countries. New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the vote, then other countries followed suit. It was the same with slavery. Other countries outlawed this practice long before America did.
Change does not come easily to America; take racial inequality for example, even in 2020 it is still a big issue which has not been addressed. It is the same with Justice reform and gun reform. There is still a reluctance to change things for the better.
Bob Stewart has been involved in a letter writing campaign for Florida woman Jennifer Mee who is serving a life without the possibility of parole sentence after being involved in a fatal mugging and as he has discovered, Americans and in particular politicians don't like changing.

New Zealand covid 19
New Zealand, An Island Nation's Amazing Defense To Corona Virus!
By Srinivasa Govindarajan
When the entire world is reeling by the devastating rampage in its popula-
tion, this small island nation managed to strangle the spread of this menace from the earliest stages just by preventive measures. The adjust-ments and cooperation between the Government and the general public shines as a beacon of hope to all other nations of the world. The early awareness of the gravity of the situation and the immediate preventive measures taken spared this island from future major course corrections.
All these actions prevented major loss of lives, no economic stresses and a population saved from the onslaught of virulent menace. All these achieved
with no antidote, no antiserum and no new discoveries from medical field.
Observing the spiralling epidemic and its devastating impacts in Europe, he says the Government was "determined to minimize the impact of COVID-19" in New Zealand. From late February through March, the country progressively tightened restrictions.
"It was recognized that implementing this strategy would have significant economic costs, but so would a major outbreak," he explains. "So New Zealand took a precautionary approach and on 26 March, apart from essential workers, the entire country was required to self-quarantine at home."
New Zea;and sets an uncomproimising austerity controls. Only commerce
allowed was operation of grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, and petrol stations. Vehicle travel was restricted and social interactions was limited to households.
Bolstered by a team of scientists and health care officials the austerity measures were formulated and acted upon effectively including this country lockdown. Instead of just slowing down the virus, it grabbed the opportunity tp eliminate the threatening covid-19 menace. It choked the virus in its entirety.
WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific, Dr Takeshi Kasai, explains that New Zealand combined strict physical distancing with strong testing, contact tracing, clinical management of those infected, and clear and regular public communication. The country also took steps to cushion the economic blow.
Not letting down their guard:
"New Zealand certainly benefited from being a high-income, island country with an advanced health system," says Dr Kasai."But they didn't take any-thing for granted," he adds. "They worked concertedly to limit and stop COVID-19 on their shores and support other countries in the Region.
New Zealanders worked together to keep case numbers low and stamp out the virus at home. But they are not resting on that success. New Zealand has not let down its guard, says Dr Kasai.
'"New Zealand continues to be vigilant," he says. "The Government is rightly cautioning that the virus is still circulating around the world and that New Zealand must work hard to keep it from returning. They also must maintain readiness to reintroduce control measures if it does.""
Constant vigilance, due diligence in the interest of the well being of the community of this entire nation and the amazing cooperation of the public
helped remain a healthy robust community and a role model to the world.

COVID booster shot
Covid-19 Prevention
By Dr. Tim G Williams
In today's high tech world the prospect of living longer is all but assured by the marvels of modern medicine. But, with the advances in medical technology and updated vaccines has always come with purse strings. Through-out history it has always been the more affluent that are the first ones and in many cases are the only ones to be the beneficiaries of medicine and medical procedures. In too many instances people have died just because of the affordability factor. Case in point: When the AIDS vaccine was first introduced to increase the life expectancy of those infected was available to only those who could afford it. Consequently, more people even to this day succumb to this deadly disease.
We have come a long way in medical discoveries since the 1980's. Education is still a critical factor in preventing illnesses. That old saying " An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is still very relevant even today, especially in the prevention of AIDS and this current Covid-19 plague. With the CDC and the AMA jointly promoting Covid-19 vaccinations similar to those vaccinations administered to children before entering school has serious flaws. Years ago when a child was of school age the required vaccinations were the MMR {Mumps, Measles, and Rubella}. Now, today there are so many vaccinations that are mandated by each state it defies logic. As a result this shows just how much the Pharmaceutical industry controls the CDC and the AMA and not the other way around.
What is driving this increase of mandated vaccinations is the question that nobody in government is willing to be concerned about. Meanwhile, the United States has seen a steady rise in illnesses, ailments and other assorted diseases that have made this nation one of the least healthiest country around the world. It is worth mentioning that the medical community has always favored the Pharmaceutical industry for antidotes for various diseases and aliments instead of educating the public of what are the root causes of all these diseases and ailments. In remembering Chiropractic Medicine it took years before the AMA finally recognized that Chiropractic procedures were viable forms of reliable medical practice.
Now, today with the Covid-19 pandemic ragging the Pharmaceutical industry was very aggressive in pursuing antidotes to curb the onslaught of this very contagious virus. The CDC and the AMA were both onboard to sanction along with the FDA's approval of the now prescribed vaccines have unleashed a frenzy to inoculate as many people as possible. Unknown variables still exist with these vaccines. This leads to more questions about the swift process of their development. Are they really safe with little or no side effects? Does this vaccine require yearly booster shots? And, what is the actual cost that is incurred?
Each year we see flu vaccinations being administered all across the country. You can get the vaccine at most CVS or Walgreens and even at Walmart. It should be noted that when this Covid-19 vaccine rolled out the same distribution should have been followed with the yearly flu vaccines. But, sadly it was not. Consequently, the distribution has met with ongoing problems increasing tensions all across the country when at a time our troubles just keep piling up. There are still desperate people who believe that this vaccine is the great cure all. Unfortunately, the verdict is still out.
To eradicate this virus and even the every day cold and flu requires our understanding of the root causes that trigger one to become infected to begin with. First, we have to understand the Pharmaceutical industry is a multi Billion dollar conglomerate whose sole purpose is profit orientated. Designed really not for the publics health but for profit. The public continues to be riddled with more diseases and aliments every year while spending more for cures that really don't solve the cause of their disease or aliment. And, the medical community has been very reluctant in accepting innovations that circumvent their traditional approach on medical practices. Today, it is basically a money game played with peoples lives and their health.
What needs to be done is a double edge sword. There is no doubt that many vaccines have increased mankind's survival rates, stopped the spread of contagious deadly diseases and turned potential epidemics into minor outbreaks. But, nobody has really addressed preventative solutions that would and can make humanity free from being susceptible to the kinds of illnesses we are seeing today. For decades the American public's diet has been suffering extreme depletion of vital nutrients that increase immune systems. The industrialization of food sources has rendered much of the public to suffer the consequences of non nutrient edible food. When we think abut the bodies immune system we rarely consider what we eat as a way of preventative medicine. But, in reality that is the greatest factors of how to prevent one from becoming ill.
That saying "your are what you eat" has an awful allot to do regarding your overall health and increased immune efficiency. Today, we see allot of advertising on probiotics but very little mention of prebiotics, both together make up Butyrate. It is Butyrate that is essential for the body to function at optimum levels. With out sufficient Butyrate in your diet the bodies immune system falters so that you are more susceptible to contract all sorts of diseases and ailments. The problem today is that the foods containing Butyrate don't have the potency they should have. All because of the lack of nutrient rich soil in which most of our food is grown. Let's be clear the immune system is the bodies way of fending off potential threats to ones health. And when the immune system is not up to snuff as they say we become very susceptible to all sorts of illness and viruses like Covid-19.
With the safety guidelines already in place like social distancing, hand washing, face masks are all safety measures to avoid infection but the main source of reducing this Covid-19 pandemic is to increase our bodies immune system. When our immune system is a peak level the severity of any disease that just happens to infect one is met with a swift attack to minimize the severity and a quick recovery ensues. We need to reduce our dependency of the industrialization of our food and return to individual family farming. When we do farms return to the rotation of crops so the soil has a year to regain the nutrients that are necessary to produce nutrient rich Butyrate in the food that is grown.
Butyrate is the one component that is critical in the reduction of disease and with out sufficient levels of Butyrate in our bodies we become receptors of so many devastating health concerns that have only increased our dependency on the Pharmaceutical industry and their drugs. Drugs that only increase more drug dependency. Drugs that won't actually cure the many illnesses that so many of us become infected with. This Covid-19 virus can be prevented or if one becomes infected their illness is greatly less severe and their recovery is that much quicker all because of the level of Butyrates in our digestive track.
