I suspect, like many of you, the more pandemic information I hear, causes the number of questions to rise exponentially in my mind. At times, it seems my brain is convulsing like a washing machine spin cycle.
I thought it might be therapeutic, or at least comforting, to share a few of my questions to see if my readers can relate.
BILL GATES
Why did Bill Gates resign from the Microsoft Board and the Berkshire-Hathaway Board?
Did he sell any of his 50 million Berkshire shares after February 14, 2020?
I wonder what his old friend Warren Buffet thinks of losing nearly $80 Billion in Berkshire shares since the pandemic hit?
I suspect he is also aware his old company, Microsoft, has lost $320 Billion in the same time period.
How much money has he given to causes over seen by Dr. Anthony Fauci?
Why was he advocating for an additional 10 more weeks of national lock down?
Is Bill’s famous pandemic prediction in 2015 his way of continuing his advocacy for Climate Change in 2020?
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI
This brilliant man has served six presidents and is 79 years old. Many people are relying on his expertise to determine their every health decision.
How can you put so much stock in his decisions when he said on national news on January 28 that we had nothing to worry about with Covid-19?
Are you leery of an expert who goes from a prediction of 1.1 million to 1.5 million deaths to 100,000 to 240,000 deaths? When asked why his estimates are so widely different and then so spatial his response is “my estimates are only as good as the data I receive.” Anyone could say that. Actually I used to always say that when asked in hindsight about my decisions.
Why isn’t Dr. Fauci asking for more specific data on deaths? Data like what was the deceased underlying issue when they entered the hospital? Are the cause of deaths really accurate or just a catch all because the deceased tested positive for Covid-19?
Why aren’t we doing a better job educating citizens about the percentage of people recovering?
Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx are dedicated, amazing physicians. Their tireless work is certainly to be applauded. But surely these doctors aren’t the only two incredible physicians in America. How about Dr. Anthony Cardillo or Dr. David Katz? If you don’t know what contributions they are making, check them out. Why is the mainstream media not covering the work of these two excellent physicians?
THE MEDIA
Why does it seem the main stream media (MSM) is at odds with every positive thing that happens?
It’s quite apparent he media understand the constitution. Shouldn’t that be a pre-requisite for a Capital Hill reporter?
Why doesn’t the media ask the question of preparedness to the state government leaders? Particularly to the states of New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Michigan and Louisiana.
Why does the the MSM seem to believe everything China says, but very little coming from the Task Force or White House?
Would it make sense to have daily press briefings questions sent? This would surely reduce the number of repetitive questions asked by the same few reporters? It seems to me these same reporters are just after “Gotcha” questions.
Does it make you cringe when they ask questions of the medical or military professionals as if they know more than the doctors and military personnel?
POLITICIANS
Why do politicians, who have never been held to any accountability for their decisions, want to hold other politicians to account for results they have contributed zero to resolve?
I understand that the majority party is always wrong and the party in the minority is always pointing that out, but is now the time to continue practicing that tired old policy?
The more I hear from many politicians the more I’m convinced they are extremely insecure. They don’t act insecure in front of the camera, until they get a “follow-up” question. I’m convinced politicians in general do not like follow-up questions. Many don’t realize a follow-up question is appropriately asked when the original question is not answered.
I understand they have their “elevator speech” to share in a sound bite, but I’m afraid, in many cases, their own elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.
Cases in point…
Would it make sense to have Joe Biden examined for dementia?
Would it make sense to have Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters examined for their overall mental health? Sadly, I’m very serious about that.
As a “Monday Morning Quarterback” who would you want to be at the helm during this pandemic?
That’s the question I often ask when someone tells me what a lousy job the President and Task Force are doing.
Well, by my count that’s 26 questions and a few sidebar comments. Probably enough to ponder for one day. Or if you’re like me, at night to put myself to sleep.
