It is sadly ironic that this COVID-19 story came out today. My daughter forwarded me The Atlantic article "The Coronavirus’s Unique Threat to the South" which was rather prescient. After reading the article. I sent her the following message. Great...

Karen Kolb Sehlke is the Texas woman who called the COVID-19 a hoax.
Her actual words were:
"Wake up!!! This is what the beginning of socialism looks like!
They are leading with fear causing you to panic like sheep.
… You don’t need hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Lysol. You need common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns!
Now wash your hands and live the life they don’t want you to have!"
Karen Kolb Sehlke died 4/2/2020 due to complications from the COVID19 virus.
It is a shame she died. And I feel for her family and loved ones. But willful ignorance can be dangerous.
I doubted the broad impact of this too. I take it seriously now because I'm not stubborn and I read many media sources.
I will say though, much of this lies in the hands of those who didn't inform the world, including the W.H.O who told us in January it couldn't be transmitted from person to person.
All of the destruction that followed, lies at their feet. There must be consequences for the W.H.O and China. Whether we want to accept it or not, everything that follows, even the doubters; has the same source in a pandemic that could have been limited by 95%
