The virus of idiocy

The virus of idiocy is rightfully considered the plague of the XXI century.

Idiocy has always been present in the list of human diseases, but in the era of lack of hygiene, sanitation and antibiotics it was hardly noticeable against the background of plague, cholera and smallpox. Now that these diseases have disappeared irrevocably, the virus of idiocy has risen to its full height and mutated.

Epidemiologists have found that birds suffer from idiocy – all of them. Watch a pigeon trying to peck a rock over and over again. From birds, the virus of idiocy is usually transmitted to pigs. In the pig's body, the virus recombines, rebuilds, makes castling, becomes dominant, increases the damaging ability, turns on the afterburner and goes to spawn. And it is transmitted from pigs to humans. Usually – chosen, and sexually.

The human immune system to the idiocy virus is not turbulent. This means that it is impossible to acquire immunity. If some people are resistant to the virus, then it is innate. There are no more than 5% of such in the population. They themselves do not suffer from idiocy, but they are often its peddlers.

The virus of idiocy is transmitted contactless: by words, articles and videos. The most common ways to transmit the virus: TV, radio and telephone. The only barrier that can resist the spread of the virus is the language barrier. But the virus overcomes it with the help of translators-peddlers and soon covers the next state.

There are no vaccinations against idiocy. Immunity is not developed, but only weakened. Having overcome idiocy in one season, a person will get sick with it in the next season with a much greater probability. People of the older generation, who have been sick with idiocy all their lives in the USSR, continue to be sick with it today much more often than young people.

There are no effective remedies for idiocy. In pharmacies, you can find a huge number of imported and domestic drugs, lotions and dietary supplements, but they are all designed for idiocy, not against it. This is essential. Any drug that is dispensed without a prescription and has a high price only aggravates the disease, starting from the moment of purchase.

The virus of idiocy affects all segments of the population. The poor – from despair, the middle class – for the company, the governing elite – in order to receive grants and increase their own rating.

Now let's leave the jokes aside and move on to theory. This is somehow not mentioned anywhere, few people think about it, but it's not a secret for doctors: any ARVI infection causes coughing, runny nose and sneezing not at all to annoy the body, and not because it happened so accidentally. There is no reason for the body to sneeze or cough – this emergency reflex is inherent in it by nature for completely different purposes: for urgent cleaning of the respiratory tract from foreign bodies, as if they suddenly got there. But viruses have learned to use the respiratory purification system not for its intended purpose, but for their own purposes. The task of the virus is to change the state of the nasopharynx so as to cause sneezing and coughing. This is done for a very simple and obvious reason: for a cold virus, this is the best way to spread around the sick person. The rabies virus, for the same purpose, hacks the psyche of the creature, causing salivation along with the desire to aggressively bite everyone around. Because it needs to be transmitted through saliva and blood. And the cold virus – through splashes from the nose and throat. From here it becomes clear that the virus can do with the body whatever it needs. If it were possible to infect others by having an orange–speckled middle finger on the left foot, viruses would quickly learn to do just that with the body. There is no point in killing a person with the flu virus – it is not in his interests. What will he do next year in the ashes?

Viruses were originally molecular capsules with an RNA code, which, once inside the cell, will begin to perform its tasks. With the development of human civilization, it turned out that it is possible to make a person sneeze or bite not only with the help of an embedded molecule, but also simply with words. For example, to convince that by biting the enemy, you are helping the Motherland. That's just that information viruses don't need biting – they don't transmit their information code with saliva. And how? From brain to brain in the form of some code information that will force a person to perform certain actions for the further spread of the virus. Once in consciousness, the virus changes it in such a way as to force it to tell about itself to everyone around and they got infected too. The sick person begins to perform some programs imposed by the brain virus: call friends, put a muzzle on his face...

I have seen them already in Moscow: they really walk in transport and in shops in muzzles! Idiots, it would be better to put on a gas mask. What's funny: doctors categorically do not recommend wearing muzzles to healthy people. Muzzles are designed for patients to cough less into space. Healthy people don't wear a mask. In my opinion, these are the basics, understandable even to a child. Why do you think the surgeon puts on a mask during operations, and the patient lies without a mask (if anesthesia is not required)? According to your logic, do surgeons take care of themselves so as not to get infected from a patient? Yes, just so as not to sniff into an open wound and not to introduce an additional infection there. The source of the infection is the surgeon. And he sterilizes his hands before the operation, and then just washes them. The funniest thing is that the mask to a healthy person is not just useless, but frankly harmful. Epidemiologists explain: being in a mask for a long time, a person involuntarily begins to breathe through his mouth. And if he gets infected at the same time, then the virus, instead of getting stuck in the nasopharynx and starting its slow snotty business there, flies right into the lungs and breaks up its camp there. And primary viral pneumonia is a direct path to the grave. But who listens to them, doctors?

When you see people in a mask, you understand: here they are really sick. But not with the flu virus, but with a completely different virus – the media virus "about the flu", which enslaved their brains and forced them to change their appearance and dress code so that it would catch the eye of others as much as possible. To make it easier for the media virus "about the flu" to get into their brains, too. A face mask is the first step to a foil cap.

As for the "epidemic" of swine flu itself... Well, what can I say? Classic seasonal informational brain flu – there was already mad cow disease, atypical pneumonia, avian flu, now swine flu. And after all, they believe in a new way every time!

Let's see how this is presented to us. Here we see the terrible messages: "According to the operational data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, as of November 4, more than 478 thousand patients with influenza and SARS were registered in the country. More than 24 thousand people were hospitalized. As a result of the epidemic, 81 people have already died." This news is presented in the media as an unheard-of pork apocalypse of the country of orange lard.

And we are already scared, because people have died. And of course, I feel sorry for them. But we turn on the brain. We turn on the brain and take a calculator in our hand. Do we know how to use a calculator at least a little? We calculate the percentage of lethality of the virus: 100 / 487,000 x 81 = 0.016%

We got such a curious number. It remains to understand whether this is a lot or a little. How to evaluate it? Apparently, we need to find a norm. What is the norm for regular seasonal flu? Do you know this norm? I don't know yet. So let's look together. Do we know how to use the Internet at least a little?

We read on the WHO website: "With all the difficulty of assessment, it is assumed that during annual influenza epidemics around the world there are from 3 to 5 million severe cases of the disease and from 250 thousand to 500 thousand deaths." Calculate: 100 / 5 000 000 x 500,000 = 10%? Horror-horror. What does it mean? Oh, yes, it was about very serious cases – apparently, those with hospitalization. OK, let's recalculate the lethality of the Ukrainian virus by hospitalized: 100 / 24,000 x 81 = 0.34%. Somehow it turns out that the flu in Ukraine is not fatal at all, right? Okay, let's say the data on the website of the World Health Organization is incorrect or we misunderstood them. We look at Wikipedia articles about the lethality of the flu: "The lethality in the Spanish flu (this is a link to articles about the 1918 flu) is more than 2.5%, about 0.1% in the Asian and Hong Kong flu."

Is that clear? And in Ukraine, we recall, the mortality rate of 0.016% is not my idea, it's according to your own statistics, which you presented to us with such horror in the hope that we would not have a calculator. Are you saying that an unprecedented deadly epidemic is raging in Ukraine? Then either come up with a tougher horror story, or publish other figures.

But all the same, they will tell us, people have died, what does boring stupid numbers have to do with it? And the figures have something to do with it, we read on the WHO website: "Respiratory tract infections, even in middle-income countries, account for about 4% of the causes of all deaths."

What does this mean? Figuratively speaking, spin as you want, but every twenty–fifth person in non-poor countries (in poor countries - every eighth) will still die from advanced pneumonia, which gave complications for some reason. This is life. So many will be poisoned with burnt vodka, so many will end their journey under the train, and every twenty-fifth person will die from respiratory tract infections in peacetime - without any special epidemics there. This is the norm. And this is today, when there are excellent antibiotics. It's scary to remember what used to happen: everyone – from Peter the Great to Leo Tolstoy – all died from lung infections. So what do you want from the flu? How do we know who these 0.016% were among half a million cases? Maybe they went to their construction site with a terrible cough until the last day, and the virus went to pneumonia and ate the lungs? Or maybe they were sick with AIDS, and the virus turned out to be the last straw? Or maybe it was just bad luck? It is not necessary to start pneumonia, it is necessary to protect the weakened and the elderly, so that they do not leave Yasnaya Polyana at night looking. And then these 0.016% will not affect you. The usual seasonal flu, and the weakest of all seasonal.

And finally – from unofficial sources. In Moscow, 5 (five) people have been registered with the H1N1 strain today. But this information is secret, it is forbidden for doctors to voice it in the media by the Health Department. Instead, it is recommended to talk about a "serious threat" and "significant danger". And even if we take into account that this is based on budget loot and political games, I am still sure that this is a classic information panic virus that is replicated in human brains in this way.
