Ever hear of "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"?

During the peak of the Covid pandemic the only focus in health care was just Covid and only Covid. From someone who worked on the front line (not to sound like a whistleblower) The media very much over exaggerated the pandemic where the main focus was the mental health crisis and from what I witnessed was for everything 10 patients coming in by ambulance the ratio would be 10:1 where for 1 Covid patient there would be 9 mental health patients either suicidal, overdose, or not on their psych meds due to everything being no contact. In my opinion there really needs to be better mental health reform. What's your opinion?

Years ago, I watched my mother slowly fade away from the cancer that killed her. It was, needless to say, awful, but it was slow, and she really only went into serious mental decline at the very end. She'd said she didn't want to become a potted plant, off in the corner, where we'd have to remember to water her, and she didn't; in a way, it's as good a cancer death as she could've hoped for.

Except that if it had been found six months earlier, she'd probably still be alive. And everything that followed from her death wouldn't've happened. My father would still be alive, too. Time and time again during the lockdowns, I wondered how many OTHER people had been condemned to go through what I went through, in the name of a glorified cold. I'm in Florida now, and even Illinois and New York have backed down from the full-on madness of 2020, but China and Canada are now well into year three of "two weeks to slow the spread".

I will never again take seriously claims of caring about mental health, or environmentalism, or concern for children (just wait until the word starts coming in from speech therapists about the children who can barely TALK because of all the missed signals and social isolation they've gotten). People have SHOWN how much they care.

Physical and mental systems have been overly stressed but China was testing our and the world military awareness and trying to reduce their population. The whole is a work of Satan.
