We discuss the many viruses that have plagued humankind in times past: Dengue, Ebola, HIV, etc. and how they compare with this new Coronavirus. The science may surprise you. Looking at actual numbers, the mortality rate of this new Coronavirus is, thankfully, relatively low. 

The new Coronavirus is not the deadliest virus we've seen. Yet we've shut our entire country down! Why? Surprisingly, many people in low-risk groups--the young, those without pre-existing conditions or vulnerable immune systems--are living in fear of an illness that has scientifically been shown to not likely cause them serious illness. Yet many who are a part of this low-risk group claim they're afraid to leave their homes. Why?

Has this virus created mass mental illness among Americans? How will we manage that?

We also look at H.R. 5546, the 1986 law that immunized the immunizers! Vaccine manufacture has become a huge and highly profitable industry among pharmaceutical companies--the same companies that sponsor many of our television, radio and mass media broadcasts. Hmm... Could it be that the information we're getting on Covid-19 is biased? Are some people making money off of our fear? Should we be afraid of the Coronavirus, even though the majority of people who get it will have--at most--minor respiratory symptoms and then recover?

The scientific fact is this: the mortality rate of the new Coronavirus is low, at least here in the US. 

Maybe we should be afraid of the tremendous power the pharmaceutical industry has over our thinking, our health, and over what little is left of our "democracy."
