This content was banned in a post I attempted to share Facebook. Meantime, I received word from a dear friend who had to make the decision to take his father off a ventilator and be allowed to die because of the coronavirus (my friend is an M.D.). These are trying times for sure. Lots of pain, and fear.
Here’s is EXACTLY what I tried to share via Facebook (statistics are for 2020):
—————————————-
My son in Switzerland has been worked over by the coronavirus, but he’ll be okay.
Meantime, here are real time statistics (as of April 2, 2020) from worldometer.com:
52,580 – Coronavirus deaths this year
123,380 – Seasonal flu deaths this year
10,786,151 – Abortions this year
2,084,123 – Deaths caused by cancer this year
1,268,562 – Deaths caused by smoking this year
634,681 – Deaths caused by alcohol this year

The point I was trying to make was (I’m not denying there is a coronavirus, my 24-year old son has it) that all of these deaths mentioned in the post brought forth tears. However, the government response is out of whack versus COVID-19, and it’s got me to ask questions. Why aren’t we banning cigarettes (1.2 million deaths so far this year)? What about alcohol (634K deaths so far)? Clearly condoms and seatbelts aren’t saving enough lives either (426K AIDS/HIV and 342K traffic fatalities). Why are so many taking their own life (272K suicides)? Most malaria deaths occur in Africa–don’t those lives matter (248K)?
And then there is abortion (10.7 Million this year). Yes, I believe the women who have abortions cry too. And the innocent babies…?
There’s something else at play here and because I’ve never seen anything like this before it’s more than a bit mystifying.
Meantime, the talking heads on FoxNews keep telling me, “We’ll get through this together.”
May God bless you all, and may you remain safe.
