2021 A.D.:  What if a town of 3,500 people, call it COVID-Ville, had an ill 71-year-old person who then contracted a fatal case of COVID-19?

     Synopsis of this account:  If the world's 2 million COVID-19 deaths were mathematically reduced to 1 death, then by the same mathematical ratio, the world's 7-billion-person population would be reduced to 3,500 people.  The average age of death by COVID is hard to exactly pinpoint, but appears using multiple sources including the CDC to be over 70 years of age, and the dying person normally has underlying health issues at the time they contract COVID-19.  And your average town of 3,500 should experience well over 25 deaths from all causes combined, before considering COVID-19, per year...that would be a normal and quite expected number of annual deaths in a town of 3,500.  So, the COVID-19 death represents at most about 1 in 25 or so of the deaths that are expected that year in COVID-Ville...but remember, these are typically folks already struggling with pneumonia, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.  There was already a fair chance that they would soon pass away from those maladies alone, already a fair chance that they would have been part of the 25 or so people who were going to die that year.  

     So, if you lived in a town of 3,500 people and one single 70+ year old person, in somewhat poor health anyway, died of a disease called COVID-19 during an entire year's time, would you:  shut down the schools and churches, force small businesses to shut down, close down vacation spots and cruise ships, make people work from home, make people cease gathering in groups of more than a handful, and force them to wear masks in public or be declared a criminal?

     Or, would the people of such a town be quite within the bounds of reason to suspect that such an all-hands-on-deck response for the death of one single elderly person in poor health is a near complete hoax designed by some organized and apparently surreptitious group within their town to obtain some mysterious ulterior objective?  Few of us have handled a world pandemic.  I, personally, have never been appointed to handle a worldwide pandemic.  Did they overlook my potential?  Should I feel slighted?  However, a great number of us, including myself I believe, would be able to recognize actions by our local government which were outlandishly, uproariously, ridiculously disproportionate, I mean actions that were just ludicrously off-scale and incomprehensibly incommensurate when reacting to the death of one single septuagenarian from COVID-19 (a not especially deadly disease, a usually survivable virus) during 12 months of time in a town of 3,500.  A town of 3,500 that is proportionally representative of the entire Earth's population.

  Here, before reading on, is a death rate chart for the USA since the year 1950 (from the Macrotrends.net website) essentially showing the percentage of the USA's population who died from all causes each year from 1950 to 2020 and 2021 (those last two being the COVID years.). You will see that the death rate from the earliest half of the list categorically exceeds the death rate the the chart shows for the supposedly deadly and horrifying COVID years.  Please ask yourself this:  Would the people of those earlier decades have collapsed in a terrified panic if they learned that their future held a lower death rate than their present?  Yet it is lower...the death rate now in 2020 and 2021 is lower than in the 1950's, 1960's, nearly all of the 1970's, and a good portion of the 1980's.  So, would those people of the 50's through the 80's, our parents and grandparents, have allowed their God-given American rights to be infringed upon by the government because the death rate had 'stayed very nearly the same, and in fact even improved a bit' ?  If it smells like we're being scammed by our own government, it may be that there's a reason for that.  An unchanged American death rate does not cry out for a transition towards martial law for the so called good of the people.  They want our rights reduced for some far different reason than the betterment of our health it's fair to venture.  After all, this is the same government that hi-jacked our built up national social security funds and spent them with nary a qualm of conscience...only a corrupt and dismissive smirk as they burped loudly in the direction of the dummies that had trusted them to guard the funds assigned to our older age welfare.  

  This chart below shows deaths per year per every 1,000 persons in the United States from the present time back until the 1950's.  The 'Growth Rate' column refers to how each year compares to the particular year it immediately followed.  Please notice how the death rate in our present time is not unusual at all compared to previous years if you look at the entire chart.   The year that I was born, 1962, at 9.4 deaths per 1000, was far more deadly than any of the Covid years so far, yet it was considered a completely normal year!  Many of the years on the chart exceed our recent Covid years.  If you look at the death rate of 2020 and 2021, about 40 per cent of the years shown on the chart were more deadly.                                                    

​

     Our world may have around 7,000,000,000 (7 billion) human occupants.  That is a current world population number that is sometimes used in recent times without objection, so I will use it here.  And we are all presently turning our lives inside out, supposedly to cope with the COVID-19 virus, under the direction of our various governments.  And by and large they do not suggest these actions to us...they mandate them.  This is a case of government baring its teeth and fangs at the governed, in that the COVID restrictions are implemented under force of law with possible fines or jail time for not obeying meekly.  So, we are commanded, not asked, to obey our government's restrictions upon our lives and actions, and sometimes such things truly can be necessary for the public good. During wartime there are often restrictions emplaced upon people which bear the force of law, and these can be considered pretty close to necessary, really, in many cases where they have been used.  Is this such a case as those? 

     And how about the behavioral restrictions for COVID-19?  Are they sensible and necessary?  Does the scale of the COVID-19 outbreak actually justify them?  Certainly, hospitals are the great point of pain for these occasional sicknesses that sweep through and add to the normal number of patients.  Those people can get worked nearly to death trying to cope...trying to save lives.  After all, in order to be profitable, hospitals try to size their staff to be sufficient, but without undue surplus of personnel.  So, the periodic sicknesses that show up unexpected really do overburden hospitals.  

     But is there something nefarious afoot as some people worry and assert?  Let's take a very quick and brief common sense look at it.  We are not global pandemic experts, but we are all pretty well familiar with what would constitute common sense measures in our own hometown I would say.  And we would all be pretty able to tell, in our own hometown or city, if something that is going on was clearly a scam and a fraud.

So yes, since almost none of us ordinary people have experience dealing with a world-scale epidemic, let's shrink it down to a smaller epidemic in a small sized town.  We can pretty easily picture what sort of a response would make sense in a small town.  Many of us have lived in a small town, near a small town, or have visited relatives or friends that live in such sized towns.

     Right now, as I am writing, it is January 9th, 2021.  I searched a few sites to see what they would list as the total worldwide number of COVID-19 related deaths.  The number seems to be about 2,000,000 COVID deaths in total, worldwide, at this time and date.  (I saw the number 1.9 million deaths on a site supposedly updated 2 hours ago, for instance.). So, I am going to shrink everything down proportionally so that 2,000,000 deaths = 1 death.  So, I will divide 2,000,000 by 2,000,000 to get one person dying instead of 2,000,000.  And now I will divide the world population by 2,000,000 to shrink it down proportionally, and that will be the population of my 'small town'.  7,000,000,000 /2,000,000 = 3,500 people.  So, I reduce the world tally of COVID-19 deaths to merely one, and then in equal measure proportionally shrink the world's population so that it is no longer the world, but a town of 3,500.  Now I'll have a conversation with an imaginary reader of this account, talking about the man who died of COVID 19 in my hometown.

     Me:  So, hello reader.  I live in Covid-ville, the only town on Planet Earth, a small town of 3,500 people.  And during the last 13 months' time we had one of our residents die of COVID-19.  His name was Joe Covid-Death.  

     Reader:  Ah, well, we all die someday of something, of course.  But that is sad for Joe's family and loved ones.  I'm sorry your town lost Joe.  How old was Joe?

   *** The average age of death for people who die of COVID-19, or COVID-19 and combinations of things like flu and pneumonia, seems to always be listed as somewhere in the 70's.  The average COVID-19 death is a septuagenarian.  Some young people die from it, and an appreciable number of middle-aged people die from it, but proportionally not too many.  So yes, the various sites such as the CDC that list average ages of death from COVID-19 seem to state that the average age of death is in the 70 years old range.  They may be well loved, greatly treasured 70-year-old people.  But they tend to be in the age range where human health deterioration and even death is beginning to be quite expected.  As with heart attack and stroke, their death may come as a surprise in light of their recent aura of good or pretty fair health.  But they caught COVID 19, their health deteriorated quickly, and they died.  That happens with many diseases.  They can come on suddenly.  We've all known such cases.  So, these victims tend to be retirement age people...senior citizens.  That is what I found when I looked.  You can easily do your own checking.  *** 

     Me:  Thank you, Reader.  Yes, we will miss Joe.  Joe was in his 70's.  At least he was able to live to very close to the expected age range.  Strokes, heart attacks, car accidents, war deaths, suicides, etc., often take people at a much younger age.

     *** In the same 13 months that there were around 2,000,000 COVID-19 related deaths there were 800,000 suicides worldwide and around 400,000 homicides, equaling about 1,200,000 million deaths in total...over half as many as from COVID-19. ***

     Reader:  How many deaths does your town usually experience each year?  

     *** There seems to be around 55,000,000 deaths from all causes combined each year in the entire world.  If we divide that by 2,000,000 as we did with world population earlier, we get 55,000,000 / 2,000,000 = 27.5 deaths a year in a town of 3,500 people.  It's just an approximation, but it's pretty close. *** 

     Me:  We usually have around 27 people die each year here in our town of 3,500.  That's our average.  So, Joe was one of about 28 people who died in the 13-month time frame, here in our town, since 13 months is a little more than a year.  We usually have about 26 or 27 deaths each year, and that is what happened this year.  No real surprises on that front.

     Reader:  What sort of measures did your town take in reaction to Joe's death?

     Me:  We shut down our churches, shut down our schools, forced our small businesses to shut down unless they were considered necessary, forced our citizens to work from home in many cases, and compelled them to wear face masks whenever they did gather or go into public places.  We cracked down on people gathering in any sort of large groups.  We villainized those who wouldn't blindly obey.  We also placed restrictions on air travel and public transit, and in many cases made it a crime to not obey these restrictive measures, portraying non-conformists as willing killers or endangerers of our old and vulnerable.  There is also talk of compelling everyone to receive vaccinations, but right now they are voluntary if they are even available yet.  That is many of the various measures we enacted here in COVID-Ville.

     Reader:  Wow.  Joe was 70 something years old, only one of over 26 expected deaths in your town this year, yet because of Joe alone you entirely change the way your town lives?   And emplaced penalties if the citizens do not obey?  Is that a rational response for one single death - of a 70 something year old man - in a town of 3,500 people during an entire year?

     Me:  Well, we have top experts on TV telling us with straight faces that it all makes sense.  So, unless there is something nefarious going on that I am not aware of then it all makes sense.  Yes.  

     Reader:  Well, I don't know if I can swallow that.  Have you ever in your life heard of a town of 3,500 people taking such a monumental and draconian set of actions because of one 71 year old man dying from a virus in the course of 13 months?  I have never heard of such a thing.  Is COVID-19 that deadly?

     Me:  Well, they say that very slightly over 1 in 1,000 people who contract COVID-19 will die.  It's hard to get rock solid numbers.  But yeah, it struck us the same way.  No one in our town has ever heard of such a thing either.  But we look to our experts, to science.  They are right there on television telling us it is necessary, and they are keeping a straight face.  And they roll out the hospital workers to speak on camera, who truly are very busy because of the extra load that COVID-19 has placed upon them, to assure us on TV that we aren't experts, and we really must obey.

     Reader:  OK then.  I am not really in a position to question how things are done in COVID-Ville.  It's your town, and your government is your servant, right?  Unless they are your master, that is to say.  All of that is for the good people of COVID-Ville to decide.  I am sorry for Joe and Joe's family and loved ones.  But I also feel equally sorry for the families and loved ones of all the other 28 people who died in COVID-Ville last year.  If Joe's death was a tragic loss, then all of the other deaths must have been equally tragic losses as well.  And the COVID restrictions ruined so many small businesses...there are so, so very many of them by now I'd guess, so many people lost their livelihood...people who have been forced out of business and into desperate dependence on government handouts by this far-reaching reaction to one 70 something year old man named Joe dying of COVID 19 in an entire years' time.  And I feel sorry for the huge impact upon the children whose growing up experience has been so deeply altered by this COVID over reaction.  In some cases, the impact on the children may have actually been a good one, but you have to suspect that for many the impact may have been a very bad one.  Many of them were also the children of these small business owners who were forced out of business.  How many marriages and therefore families will disintegrate under that sort of pressure?  How many children experienced the breakup of their family quite largely because of the pressures imposed by government enforced COVID-19 measures, rather than the actual disease itself?  Something sounds very "not right" about it all, quite frankly.

     End Conversation

     What you saw occur in 2020 A.D. in terms of COVID-19 deaths really was statistically tantamount to one 70 something year old person, already suffering from some other health problems as a rule, dying in a town of 3,500 people during an entire year's time.  The thought of a small town taking such mind blowingly insane social restriction measures because one single 71-year-old died of COVID-19 during an entire years' time is utterly unthinkable at any level.  No town anywhere could get away with doing that.  The citizens of that town would either replace or ignore that mayor in a heartbeat.  They might not be world pandemic experts but their common sense and experiences from living in a small town would allow them to size it all up and smell a rat immediately.

     Donald Trump was a strange President.  He was able to fill stadiums with tens of thousands of fans, like some rock star, whenever he organized a rally.  I know of no political leader on Earth that had developed that sort of personality cult.  And his position was no ordinary one.  Some would say that he was the leader of the world's most powerful nation.  And most alarming of all, Donald Trump was dismantling the New World Order.  America was supposed to be the fully cooperative piggy bank for funding a New World Order aimed at bringing the people of the world under some sort of central world authority.  That had been the plan before Trump came along.  The world was going to be made fearful by the firm assurance that we were all going to die from climate change unless we banded together as one world and one people under one authority that had the power to make us all dance to one tune so that our planet could be rescued.  But Trump was balking at the idea.  He was saying that the USA had its own path to travel, that we were not just an obedient member of the pack.  And the US economy was so robust in 2019 and early 2020 that, had it continued, Trump's reelection would have been a foregone conclusion.  It would have indicated that Trump was perhaps right and wise to withdraw the big piggy bank and its military from the plans of the New World Order, because after all, look how successful the USA suddenly became once we withdrew from these foreign entanglements.  Other nations might have followed our lead.  The New World Order plans, patiently nurtured for so very long almost to the point of fruition, could have collapsed just inches short of the finish line.   

     What you have witnessed in 2020 A.D. is the use of a real but not especially deadly virus as a pretext and theme to cool that smoking hot USA economy down and bring the world population to heel before the carefully laid plans for a world government were horrifically damaged.  We have all been scammed.  If you view the Earth as a town of 3,500 people where a 71 year old guy named Joe, advanced in age and already a bit sick, is the only person who died (the sole COVID-19 death in the entire town in over a year's time) then it becomes completely obvious, in my opinion, that this has been theatre...not reality.  The living care for the sick, they devote time to the sick and elderly, we protect our own loved ones from dangers by taking actions on the family level.  But it has never been the practice of society to bring all things concerning business and life to a near halt because one person out of 3,500 (a person that was pretty old and already sick with other conditions) died during an entire year's time.  That's unprecedented.  That places a burden of ridiculous magnitude upon the unaffected and the healthy, upon the ability of families to earn a living and feed their own family members.  Remember, starvation kills also.  And homelessness places its own unique stresses upon human health, as does the stress and worry of dealing with a bankruptcy.  We love and care for our sick, but we do not steal away the lives of the healthy because a super-thin slice of the population dies of a not particularly deadly disease.  It's never been done, nothing close to it has ever been done that I know of...certainly not on a large scale...and for good reason.  The living help the dying, care for the dying, and love the dying.  But they do not fully share the fate of the dying, because after all, we all will have our own death to experience some day.  It comes upon all of us, and can't be avoided.  So, until then, we have our lives to live and enjoy.      

     In the Bible (which, contrary to what is taught in our world today, is a reliable source of truth) it tells us that what is going on, what has been going on for centuries, is a spiritual battle in high places, between good and evil, between Heaven (which, contrary to what the world teaches these days, is a very real kingdom) and fallen angels led by Satan (who, contrary to what is taught in the world these days, is a powerfully created spiritual creature who, with his angelic followers, has encamped upon the Earth among humans so that a blow struck against them will have collateral damage among humans.  Jesus told the story of the weeds, purposefully sown by an enemy, among the grain, and explained the for the sake of the grain that would be damaged the weeds are allowed to grow for the time being.)  And yes, humans are very involved in the spiritual battle, and we have our own inexcusable proclivity for disobedience towards God and for evil behavior, yet God does seek the salvation of our souls through Jesus.  But few men care, few men listen and try to obey, and so, despite the extraordinary efforts and sacrifices that Jesus made, few men and women will be saved.  

     When nearly all world political and military power is concentrated in the hands of a very few, when the New World Order has succeeded in gaining their full required power, then we will see the actuality of that spiritual war playing out on Earth without the need for camouflage or use of proxy organizations to advance the agenda of God's enemies.  But for now we are in the age of deceit, the final portion of that age I suspect, where things are not as they appear, where the true motives are not what we are being told they are, and where the details of what is really going on can only be guessed at by all of us common people that are not in on the plan.  

     But don't fear, and do have hope.  Those who confess their sin, turn to Jesus and are baptized in water and the Holy Spirit, and then spend the rest of their lives trying to follow Jesus and serve Him...those people will be saved even though they do not deserve it on their own merits.  We are saved by the grace of Jesus and the Father.  Grace is undeserved favor...undeserved.  But once saved to belong to Jesus in this life and the next we then have to show that we are sincere by actually giving Jesus the life - our life - that we promised to devote to Him when we were saved.  If we are not sincere and do not seek to be whole-hearted, then it was not really a covenant, was it?  Covenants involve two parties, at the least.  So try hard to be sincere and whole-hearted.  Jesus did not die an agonizing and unjust death on the cross, in front of God and angels, to obtain our lip service.  We owe far more.  Don't we owe all?  Which Christian believer can really argue that, though we all fall short.
