30 QUESTIONS About Covid 19/ Coronavirus 2020

One of the key signs of a free country, place or relationship, is the toleration of questions. Questions are not answers but they can bring about change, tolerance, acceptance and truth. The world is in conflict over opinions and differences, but there is harmony too. When questions CAN be asked without fear of judgement, anger, retaliation, or indoctrination - then we know we are in safe places. It is important for ourselves to be able to ask OURSELVES the hard or detailed questions about topics that are crucial around us BEFORE we take a full stance...and even then, it is important, above all else, to consider the questions.

(Disclaimer: Just because I put these on here does not mean I do not have my own answers to some of them. Nor does it mean I have completely set myself on ONE determining side. Some of these I am still questioning, others I would surprise many of my friends with where I stand, while still others I am fairly mainstream. Regardless, this is NOT about me but about the questions.)

30 Questions on Covid- 19/ Coronavirus 2020:

1.) How do you feel about the Coronavirus situation in general? Do you have compassion for those whom are dying? Do you also have compassion for those that are healthy and need jobs to survive? Are there ways to honour both? 

2.) Do you believe the government and healthcare has the best interests of the people at heart? If you believe that they believe they do- is that a separate issue?

3.) How does this compare to other pandemics in the past?

4.) How did past pandemics overcome their struggles? Is there a big difference between the Plague or Influenza of the 1900s and what we are dealing with now?

5.) How do you feel about statements like "It's only 6 months, It's only for Christmas, It's only until there is a vaccine"? In history, when statements like that were touted about, did things change permanently? What historical moments followed these movements? Were they followed up with more freedom or less? How long did it take for that country or situation to recover?

6.) Are most of the nurses you know in full support of current protocols or are many whispering their dissent but following the rules out of fear?

7.) Compare the hospital situation in most countries to the overwhelm of hospitals in previous years. Google it. Have hospitals often been understaffed, mismanaged and overworked before? Also have you talked to professionals who deal with the morgues? Do they usually, each season, have over capacity?

8.) Have you gone into a hospital in a overworked region only to find it mostly empty? How do you feel about staff being assigned to one person with a positive case  in one ward at the expense of other departments?

9.) Are some care homes being neglected? Is it easy to make a clear statement on what is happening?

10.) Do you think it crosses a moral line to tell on your neighbour? Can loving your neighbour mean different rules in varying contexts?

11.) Do you think the amount of countries using emergency protocol since 911 has gone increasingly up? What does it mean if that continues to happen in regards to freedom and liberty? Or is it worth the exchange?

12.) Compare having to be tested to find out you have a virus to seeing the obvious signs everywhere (like in the Black Plague or Ebola) Does testing make you feel safer or less secure?

13.) A rule of good science is the requirement to look at the other side and it is never 100 percent settled. Do you feel that science is slanted in any way or is it giving it's due diligence?

14.) Are you pro or anti vaccine? If you are anti- vaccine have you read the past accounts of vaccines and their victories? If you are pro, do you listen to the stories of people who have had legitimate issues with vaccines and their stories? Are mandates ethical and a separate issue from vaccination? 

15.) Have you ever researched the company of VIOXX ( for arthritis) which killed 55,000 plus people? Mereck pulled if off the market because they were sued so they went on to develop HPV vaccine Gardisal ( the same company- different information.) Do you find that there can be adverse side effects to drugs and vaccines or is it better not to question that? Do you think drug companies should be sued over vaccines? Do you think there should be more accountability? Do you prefer not to know the counter issues? Do you believe a vaccine and drugs can both save and destroy lives? Can it be BOTH/ AND? How would that change our approach to people who have differing viewpoints?

16.) Do you think it is possible that there is often an agenda on either side? Is one side more "righteous" in regards to vaccines or approaches to health care? What could an agenda look like?

17.) Are we asking who is developing these vaccines? What do they have to gain besides the obvious boon of curing people, if anything? 

18.) Could vaccines be different for different people in regards to reactions or dangers? Is it possible that some vaccines are toxic while others change the world? Can it be a BOTH situation or is it clearly black and white?

19.) Have you researched the overall death rates in previous years (ex 2015, 2016, 2017) in comparison to the 2020 overall death rate? Do you know many people who had covid? How many of them only had a light cold ? How many had next to influenza symptoms but nothing more? How many were serious? Can this be comparable to other sicknesses? ( This changes from country to country and I am primarily asking Canadians in this question.) 

20.) Could money be part of the equation at all in any of these situations? Even if the people who are down the lines honestly believe in the true nobility of all health care, could there be corruption at the top lines? Can we blame healthcare workers or politicians who are trying their best to make the situation better for coming up with protocols? Should we ask them to consider or is it better to leave the stressed alone? If we do feel the need to bring up counter points how can we do this in a considerate, kind way? Do they deal with opposite concerns of theirs, in a kind and considerate way? Or are the clear lines of what should not be discussed?

21.) How do you feel about the media content each day? Do news titles that constantly tell projected deaths as opposed to deaths happening, cause more fear or less? Is fear a useful tool in fostering compassion and trust?

22.) How would it look if each year the media reported each death and their causes? How often would we hear about Ecoli deaths or Influenza or the sicknesses we have lived with for years? Would we approach those topics differently? How is it comparable? How is it not comparable?

23.) Does the media have an agenda? What could it be?

24.) Are all anti maskers 'bad'? Are all maskers 'sheep'? Do these 'all or nothing' statements help foster an overall trusting and caring environment?

25.) How helpful are masks when cases have gone up since using them? Or is the argument that cases have gone up because people are not wearing masks at home social gatherings? Does the math add up? How do masks help? How do they hinder? Can you flexibly list three reasons on EACH side?

26.) Did Fauci once talk about how masks increased viral pneumonia in the Influenza of the 1900s? Are the bacterial load of breathing in one’s own bacteria in masks healthy for the wearer? Can face shields be just as effective for spittle in most circumstances so at least there is air flow? Why are they not allowed in places like shopping where it is possible to be distanced? What was the science on masks saying a few years ago? Do the contagions pass through most masks, and if so, what is the reason they are being worn besides medical instances in close proximity? Does fresh air build immunity? On a side note socially- Is it important to see facial cues and foster a sense of trust in community? Is it possible to lessen Covid without masks and physical distance and washing? Is it more of a safety blanket or signal? Does it foster a sense of community or are people being divided into 'rebels' and 'sheep'? 

27.) Is it ok for anti mask rallies to be fined when the BLM rallies were not? What is the difference in these situations? Is there hypocrisy involved? Is it right for one protestor group to be favoured over another just because their causes are different? Where do we draw the lines? Is there a double standard according to whom is in charge at the time? What does this mean for our futures in any cause?

28.) Why are some Articles, Doctors and Scientists being censored or buried? Even if some of their arguments are flawed, is that a good way to foster balance, challenge or critical thinking? What does this say about the trust of most individuals to find their own way? Is this a form of control or is it an acceptable practice to weed out "wrong" sources? Why is this necessary now? 

29.) Is choice an important factor in any decision? Most of our choices affect other people, and to be human is to make mistakes, sometimes deadly ones either way...When is it ok, if ever, to take choice away? How do you feel about peace officers enforcing laws against people in your home? How do you feel about fines being in place for breaking 'temporary' laws? Does this cross any charter of rights and freedoms? Is it ok to do this sometimes or can it turn into future encroachments on freedom? The government can do whatever they wish, but is it ok for us to question some of these laws and do we respect those that have the bravery to do so?  How can we foster consideration of other people in our choices without enforcement?

30.) How are you taking care of yourself during these times of stress? How are you fostering community along with individualism? How can you show love but still hold your own opinions? How can you be flexible in thinking but still stand firm in your own ethics?

"I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you win then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. To live the questions, it would seem, you have to first admit the questions to yourself. You have to admit the uncertainty in a world that doesn't value it. You have to be vulnerable in a world that considers it a weakness. You have to be you. You have to live with a child's curiosity."- Rainer Maria Rilke

P.s. To be clear, I do believe that there is a more contagious virus happening and this is NOT an anti virus post. This actually isn’t about my opinions at all. These are rhetorical questions. Another one would be - if you have every single answer - are you ok with other people asking questions? Are you open to changing your mind on any or considering other viewpoints either way?

Update December 2021: My post on vaccine racial and economic discrimination; https://worldwecreate.blogspot.com/2021/10/vaccine-apartheid-who-is-it-really-who.html?m=1

Another question: Why is the WHO and Oxford medical online not including information  to at least protect immunity or boost it on their sites? Why is there not, at this point in the pandemic, information on what to do when you get Covid and ways to ease suffering? Often pneumonia cases are what kills or hospital protocol - yet most are told to stay home and suffer and get help only when it’s too late. In regular Influenza we are at least told to up our immunity, take vitamin C and other symptom easers, drink lots, rest and definitely go to the hospital at the first signs of distress or insist on a lung x ray if feeling heaviness… and we would get in right away. Why are very sick people told to wait, forced to drive to different towns for care , or immediately put on damaging drugs in some situations? Blaming hospital overload with current and past numbers does not fully add up in most areas. Instead of seeing the flaws in our health care system set up - why are we just blaming whomever is different in approach from us? Why are we not asking our systems for more infrastructure, revitalization and budget accountability? Maybe we need a new approach?  Why are the unvaccinated being blamed when the cases have gone up in vaccinated people as well? Why have the variants directly coincided with the timing of more vx doses? Why has pneumonia gone up the longer society wears masks? 

Why are vaccine deaths being reported as Unknown cause on autopsy? (I have personally known two in my direct family as well as heard stories from other friends.) Part of this is because we haven’t had enough time for science to see the cause on autopsy to perhaps pick up on tiny clots - and many patients did not get a D Dimer test after vaccination… but why is the reporting unfair?  Why are symptoms also going under reported. While there is the legitimate VAERS website, many don’t know about it? A close family member had facial paralysis right after their shot - luckily it eventually eased up but they were advised another dose would be dangerous. Why was their event not followed up and not put on their chart? Why did other people report the same story? Why does this person now have to argue with each new Dr. they see when the Pharmacist and Dr. witnessing the event clearly stated another dose would be dangerous? Are we so blinded by our own agendas that we are not seeing the full picture? Is there less time for data on these newer vaccines as opposed to vaccines in the past? ( See my link on vaccines above…) 

In past history, without social media, if this virus was in your community eventually, you would have noticed more serious aspects, thought of it as a very bad flu, gotten treatment, hoped for a cure but it would not be what it is touted about in the news. Especially in isolated or rural areas. How does media hinder this situation ? 

Why are Drs getting in trouble for recommending ways to bolster immunity? Most of us are smart enough to know it’s not in the place of hand washing, time tested vaccinations or proper health care - so why does it cause such a fuss? Why are Drs. whom are legitimately helping people in unconventional ways being fired when we already have staff shortages? Especially if they are knowledgeable and respected in their fields? Can’t most of us decipher that vitamins may not save us but dosing can aid in bolstering immunity and body function?
