COVID-19 mass hysteria as overreaction of society immune system.

by Leonid Sakharov

If Trump will not awake very soon from hypnosis of taken from context reports of COVID-19 cases and mortality there would be no economy left to mobilize in case of real danger in form of really highly mortal disease or riot or election of mental deficient Biden as President.
Stop COVID-19 hysteria at once. Please.
Most of people in society are conformists. They are most comfortable in situation when their judgment is in agreement with majority of society. It creates basic for common knowledge that could be either science based or propaganda incited or somewhere in between.

In modern society person has to rely on opinion of professionals as soon the complexity of technology of everything is far overcoming ability of anybody to independently verify every bit of terabytes of information passing around every millisecond. There is no necessity to check validity of everything in everyday life. Time flies day by day without affecting routine from breakfast to bed pillow that means that everything is fine and no additional actions are required.

To guard society from hidden danger there are special institutions incorporated in it. Science and intelligence are to look around and to recognize probable treat to wellbeing of nation, journalism to report and educate public about finding, government officials to make decisions how to respond to danger. Ordinary members of society should obey orders and all together we the people will overcome the crisis. It is how in ideal world where all institutions works for common good first and for personal benefits second. Such construction must serve human society in the same manner as immune system human body. In both situations defense mechanism can overreact and attack or body or future of society making fatal misdirected decisions.

Our world is not ideal. Information can be falsified and manipulated.

Scientific knowledge is not truth. Responsible scientist will be the first who will say that any prediction is no more than educated guess. To any statement one can assign a probability to be true or not. Even this assignment of probability is done with great deal of inaccuracy for most cases especially in social areas of science. Journalists who should report scientific finding to the public are not scientists as a rule. They like the say that they believe in science that is absurd because science is the opposite of faith, to religion. Science for journalists is just a cover for presenting sensation and often inaccurate but favorite to their political affiliation information to paint it as a scientific fact. There are not scientific facts –instead there are results of experiments and their interpretations. Nothing in science is final. The same is in life until the finish.

Hysteria about COVID-19 pandemic is clear and present danger of blind emotional incorporation of incomplete scientific information into decision making process.

What we know about COVID-19? Very little verifiable information.

Facts from official sources. Mortality rate in USA was practically not affected with epidemic of COVID-19. Weekly death number up to last reported week ending Apr. 18, 2020 was either close to average or even lower. It could be impossible to make a conclusion about presence any additional systematic death reason only on the base of weekly chart of total death in USA. Strange epidemic without almost any negative effect on mortality isn’t it?

Mortality rate from COVID-19 is illusive number. When CNN displays every moment numbers of COVID-19 cases and death in the world and USA for example at now at Apr. 26., 2020 5:25 pm EST as 2962915 cases in the world with 205938 deaths and 961969 cases with 54530 deaths in USA it will give viewer impression that mortality rate of COVID-19 in the world is 6.9% and in USA 5.7% that is very scary. It could be terrifying as CNN want to present the information but fortunately for the world and usual embarrassing for CNN these are misleading facts(?).

Presented cases are not total number of infected with COVID-19, only registered part of unknown number of total cases. Reported investigation of antibody holder in population gave much higher number of infected, by some estimation ten times larger. Number of death from COVID-19 is not exact from virus but only associated with it. Big part of old people would die anyway maybe. Nobody knows for sure how many die because of virus and how many in coincidences. What is known that average weekly death rate in USA is about 55K, so up to this point whole number of associated with COVID-19 for several months of panic deaths is equivalent to one week of normal life tragic circumstances.

Economic harm of orders for self imprisonment (stay in home order no matter want or not to) is about 10 trillion USA dollars. Maybe more maybe less. There is no methodology to calculate it for sure much less to separate damage of virus from overreacted idiots and inducting panic saboteurs.

It is very sad realization that President Trump who up to this COVID-19 hysteria has been making impression to be clear minded individual was caught into this mass paranoia. In spite his first healthy impulse to dismiss all these jazz as a democratic and liberal media ploy Trump decided finally to prioritize this pandemic as the genuine thread to population over economic prosperity. It looks like he respects science much more than understand it. Very regrettable although expectable.

If Trump will not awake very soon from hypnosis of taken from context reports of COVID-19 cases and mortality there would be no economy left to mobilize in case of real danger in form of really highly mortal disease or riot or election of mental deficient Biden as President.

Stop COVID-19 hysteria at once. Please.
