The daily ubiquitous inundation of news concerning the novel coronavirus is at a fever pitch. Every headline, every title, every banner has “coronavirus,” “corona,” or “COVID-19” plastered within. There is some real information, but most of the fodder is either false or speculative. In other words, SARS-CoV-2 has fallen victim to the capitalist profit model. Well, fear and sensationalism go hand-in-hand to sell a new mutation of social engineering, of course!

Here’s what is really known about the infection clusters requiring hospitalization, aside from age (mostly senior citizens over 65 years old). The associated morbidities indicated include:

• Heart disease
• Respiratory illnesses
• Diabetes
• Obesity.

In empire, the following is known about its population:

• 50% are obese
• 10% are severely obese
• 50% are either diabetic or pre-diabetic
• 40% have one or more respiratory illness
• 50% have varying degrees of heart disease.

The soaring number of SARS-CoV-2 infections in empire requiring hospitalization appear to be correlated to the high percentages of morbidities amongst all age groups, with many people suffering from multiple morbidities. There are also a large number of people in various stages of cancer.

The high number of deaths in empire, primarily attributed to the novel coronavirus, is also abetted by one or more co-morbidities. In other words, the cause of death was a combination of factors accelerated by the virus pathogen. Given the fact that the pathogen is new, the number of deaths, directly or indirectly related, is not surprising. This is the natural outcome of a new pathogen.

There most likely is a high number of (unreported and untested) asymptomatic carriers, that is, people who are healthy but do not show symptoms or show only mild symptoms. The latter demographic spans all age groups who have no indications of the major co-morbidities. Their immune systems are uncompromised and are able to create the antigens for reduced symptomatology.

Death by SARS-CoV-2 appears to caused by end-stage pneumonia after the lungs become infected. The immune system attempts to combat the pathogen with antibodies that fill the lungs with fluid. The patient must then be intubated (i.e., air tube placed down the throat and connected to a ventilator) in order to receive oxygen at a sufficient level. A high level of morphine must be intravenously administered to put the patient in a semi-comatose state to prevent self-extubation. Over 80% of intubated patients do not recover.

In summary, the lethality of SARS-CoV-2 is essentially a direct function of the high number of co-morbidities indicated. In empire, the general population exhibits a high percentage of those morbidities. Frailty is not just limited to senior citizens. The empire is composed of a very sickly populace. On the other hand, “herd immunity” is probably occurring even with the delayed mitigation and testing.

There are no cures for viruses. The only possible scenario is the development of a vaccine, which allows the body (especially those with compromised immune systems) to develop antigens that can combat infection. Unfortunately, all viruses mutate, so a vaccine developed for SARS-CoV-2 may not be effective for the next iteration.
