I have become a COVID 19 expert since I have planned big parties for Week 1 and my Lions road trip to Jacksonville. Dr Fauci’s job is to prevent a worst case scenario. That’s fine, but you only “brave for the worst.” You don’t “hope for the worst.” Honestly, the media is instilling fear into the American people and I hate it. Yes, we should be careful but the numbers show that it’s no reason why we need to shut the economy down. First of all, the flu contributes 69 hospitalizations out of 100,000 people. COVID 19 contributes 50 out of 100,000. However, people over 65 contribute 169 hospitalizations out of 100,000. If you are in that group or if you have COPD or something then, yes, you should be extremely careful. These numbers do not give a good argument on why the economy or the NFL should be shut down. I guarantee you I can find about 100 doctors who disagree with Dr. Fauci (including the NFL’s Chief Medical Officer). My friend in Phoenix told me that they testing everyone at the Talking Stick Arena and 8% tested positive. Those 8% said they didn’t even feel sick. Here is what you have to watch out for: the percentages of positive cases and hospitalizations. First, the rising numbers in FL are because they ramped up testing so of course they will have more cases. However, the percentage is stable. Also, a positive case doesn’t mean hospitalization. The reason why the country shut down is to relieve the hospitals since they weren’t prepared. They are prepared now! You also have to take a look at the hospitalization numbers. I read the State of Arkansas had a headline saying hospitalizations there rose 44%. You know what 44% equals? 200 hospitalizations. Not in one hospital. Not in one city. THE ENTIRE STATE. You really want to shut down the economy over 200 people? Here is my advice to all. If you want to stay at home then fine. If you don’t, just make sure you take care of yourself. I have a better chance of getting hit by a car twice in one day than getting this virus since I live a healthy lifestyle. Eat right, exercise, take your vitamins (make sure you get Vitamin C and Zinc) and you’ll beat the odds too. The media does not care about you! When the President came to my Ford plant only 3 networks actually showed the great work Ford did to combat COVID-19. The rest of the networks only cares if he wore a mask. People need to start growing a brain. Ok, I’m off my soap box now. Only said this because we need football right about now and they are still in a good position to come back. I trust the NFL’s Medical Officer over Dr Fauci
