Don't let it dominate you - recovery rate of COVID19 is 99 percent

Patria prefers US President Donald Trump's approach to COVID-19: "don't let it dominate you". The recovery rate of COVID-19 is around 99 percent. Possibly closer to 99.5 or 99.6%. With that in mind, even the House Leader of the Chakra Party, a party who often had been in favor of restrictions and lockdowns earlier this year and even voted against Patria's ratification of the Great Barrington Declaration (which Google doesn't want you to read), spoke in Congress and noted the following:

"Madam Speaker, as we know, the recovery rate of Covid19 is 99%.

What is the recovery rate of your business?

What is the recovery rate of the woman who got beat within an inch of her life last night due to domestic abuse? 

What is the recovery rate of the person whose stress levels went sky high and they just crossed the line into full addiction and is on their way to an overdose? 

What is the recovery rate of the late diagnosis of cancer? Of heart disease or type 2 diabetes that could have been prevented had the gyms and fitness facilities not been forced to close? 

What is the recovery rate of the employees who lost their job and now struggle with their ability to feed their family and pay their rent or mortgage? 

What is the recovery rate of your mental health and that of the people you love, the person standing two meters away from you in the lineup with her face covered, the older gentlemen who sits alone on the park bench or the 22 year old kid who feels lost in his/her own thoughts? 

What is the recovery rate of our ability to trust our government and our public health officials? 

It’s not 99%, you can bet your last rupee on that."

Navratri in Patria this year will be the same as it was last year, a catch-all of friends and family, home and temple pujas, food and football (All Patria Football Federation soccer, not the NFL). For Navratri, for Diwali next month, and even for Christmas in December, Patrienish citizens will hug, laugh, eat, and enjoy each other. What the pandemic should have taught us is life is too short. Wasting precious moments scared and apart is no way to handle the gift we’ve been given.

Patria Post has issued a Navratri 2020 stamp. Note Durga's fierce tiger transformed into a little kitten.
