For those of you who were born after 2000, you can probably
stop reading this blog because there will be a lot of references that you might
never understand. For there was a time
when we actually had to read stories from a book that had real pages to turn. If we were lucky enough, our teachers would
roll in an old 8mm projector with a Disney movie or some other educational type
of entertainment. One of the stories
that was an annual presentation during my elementary years was an Aesop Fable
about “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.
The tale concerns a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks
nearby villagers into thinking a wolf is attacking his town's flock. When a
wolf actually does appear and the boy again calls for help, the villagers
believe that it is another false alarm and the sheep are eaten by the wolf. In
later poetic versions of the fable, the wolf also eats the boy. Wow…does this story fit today’s narrative at
all?
Did you know that the First Amendment protects the freedom
of expression; however, it does not
protect dangerous speech? A perfect
example is falsely yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. By doing so, one would create such a panic
and others would be harm during the rush to protect themselves from sure
death. The same goes for someone who
were to jokingly state they have a bomb packed in their luggage on a
plane. Try this yourself, and you would
find yourself spending the night in a jail cell waiting for an arraignment with
a judge.
We can learn a lot from history, and with the current events
of the Coronavirus that have gone on we will find many different narratives
justifying the Media and Power Hungry Politicians who have “Cried Wolf”. I’m not sure who is more to blame, but “if
you follow the money you will find the crook” as Sherlock Holmes might say. Unfortunately, as new unemployment numbers
have quickly risen above 16 million people over the last 3 weeks, there will be
many businesses that will have to rebuild.
If we don’t demand better from our media, and if we allow our National, State
and Local Politicians to continue to spread unfounded panic; we will enter into
Let’s start by visiting the cause that has led to mass
hysteria and hoarding of our toilet paper.
Just before the insane government ordered house arrest imposed on
innocent businesses and consumers alike, our officials utilized the famous
Epidemiologist, Neil Ferguson who boldly predicted that the United States would
achieve 2.2 million deaths in a very short amount of time only later changing
the claims as drastically lower because over 85% who get the virus show no or
very mild symptoms? This was the same
chart that everyone said we must balance the curve. Of course the premise of the whole scare was
that 100% of the world’s population would become infected with the virus and
with a little research one would find that this has never happened in the
history of the world. As of yesterday,
the numbers of projected deaths have now dropped to roughly 60,000 people in
the United States for the “New Coronavirus Seasonal Virus”. For those of you who refuse to follow
blindly, the Centers of Disease and Control estimates that between 12,000 and
61,000 people die from the flu each year.
Those that were upset at small
business owners for stating these facts almost a month ago villainized them as
Greedy Capitalist who only care about money.
Obviously, this was not true as the numbers have never and still don’t
add up. Nobody wanted anyone to die
from this virus. However, death happens
and instead of shutting down the economy, those “greedy capitalist” wanted help
for the elderly and those with underlying health conditions without shutting
down the economy. If we could have made
decisions based on facts and not fear; this would have ended a while ago and
our economy would still be strong and the death total would have still remained
the same. Some doctors even say the
virus would have not spread as much as our bodies would have developed
immunities (like the average flu) and minimized the spread.
DeliveryMaxx has written a blog pointing out the
discrepancies of the mainstream media and power hungry politicians since March
13, 2020. The first blog, Coronavirus
Exposes Need for Online Digital Strategy More than Ever allowed readers to
see that the numbers and all of the scare tactics did not warrant the responses
or measures we have been taking over the last month. Ten days later we have
tried to help businesses survive the chaos and all of the consumers being
scared to leave their house because of the corrupt politicians scaring them
into hiding by writing, How
Businesses can Survive the Coronavirus Shutdown. As businesses and people were divided into
two categories of “Nonessential” and “Essential” the government began to push
their agenda of separating people. One
can only assume this might have been done to perpetuate their message of
fear. Why else would you shut down a
church service of 50-100 people, but allow 400 people at any given time go to
Walmart, grocery store or even Lowes?
You can find the March 24th blog by visiting Your
Business is Nonessential…Now What?
When businesses came to the realization that they may be shutting their
doors for the last time, DeliveryMaxx tried to encourage companies to look for
the positives that can develop during crisis.
We published another blog that shared how innovation can come at a time
like this with the title, Starting
a New Business in the Corona Climate.
The media continues to sensationalize a political agenda of the corrupt
and the blog Which
Side of History Will You Be on after the Coronavirus is over was
published. Good people started losing
friendships over a differing of opinions, but really the entities that continue
to promote fear are the ones to blame.
The only way to stop this is for the people to take back our freedoms. A 2.2 Trillion Dollar stimulus package filled
with Government Pork was quickly
passed by both Democrats and Republicans (look at the bill itself and see where
all the money is going). However, the
headlines just talked about free money to ease the dissention from those who
were questioning these insane approaches.
Using
the Internet to Spread Your Message showed exactly how to get your message
out to the masses. Just think what 2.2
Trillion is. ONE BILLION SECONDS EQUALS
31 YEARS!!! One Trillion seconds
equals 31709 Years. And we passed a
stimulus that WILL NOT entirely be used for those who truly need it, so the
rich will get richer and the powerful will keep their power. Two
Trillion and 200 billion seconds equals 69,761 Years! That’s how big this package is and now
government wants to give more which means anyone who pays taxes will have to
foot the bill. Just tell your kids and
grandkids that they will have to tell their grandkids the reason their taxes
are so high is because we overreacted to this virus. Take a look at What
the 2nd Great Depression will look like and judge for yourself
if it is smarter to shut down the economy to save thousands who would have died
of flu, pneumonia, even the common cold or have millions of people lose their
jobs creating much more death and destruction.
When we wrote Using
Social Media Channels to Share Positive Messages we also exposed how the
tragedies of history might have been avoided if we had the same capabilities. Unfortunately, the fear has started to
cripple the economy and we had to fight to adapt. In the blog How
Businesses are Adapting to Adversity we empathized with those businesses
that are being hit the hardest because of poor decisions of those in power are
making. These businesses will be able to
fight the inequities being pushed on society by following the simple steps
outlined in the blog Controlling
your Message gains Trust with Customers.
Although that doesn’t mean the road to survival will be easy as depicted
in What
do you do when everything crashes around you?
There is hope.
DeliveryMaxx has encouraged others to work with each other described in
the blog titled, Saving
your Business through Networking and How
Helping Others in a Crisis will help your Business in the Future. The longer we allow the power hungry
politicians and untruthful stories of the mainstream media scare the public
into submission the more important it will be for businesses to follow the blog
Strategic
Planning now will allow your Business to Thrive Later.
The final chapter has not been written for the year
2020! It will be up to businesses to
adapt, innovate and encourage society not to fall into these traps again. As you research other outlets, the truth will
be exposed. Businesses must be vigilant
in their fight to survive and DeliveryMaxx is willing to help.
