| I, as you know, have had many, many questions about this whole thing, which have not been made clear to me. | |
| As, for example, the constant reporting on the number of cases. | |
| Why don't they report on the number of cases of flu? | |
| Tens of thousands have died from the flu this year, or this season, to be precise, since October. | |
| It is an interesting question, is it not? | |
| Why is there not a constant chart, ticker, giving numbers of dead from the flu each year? | |
| Tens of thousands each year. | |
| 20,000, 30,000, 40,000. | |
| Number of cases. | |
| Do you have an answer to that? | |
| I don't have an answer to that. | |
| Yeah, no, no, why we haven't done it in the past? | |
| I don't worry, we won't do it in the future. | |
| Yes, exactly, because we accept it. | |
| As I said originally, we don't give them a name. | |
| All they had to do was give this year's flu a name, and everything that has happened could have been done with regard to that. | |
| Shutting down everything, the tickers with the numbers. | |
| Well, let's hope I was right, obviously, and it was another panic. | |
| My feeling is that if indeed it turns out to have been another panic, nothing will change. | |
| Nothing. | |
| I have lived through enough of these to realize that it makes no difference. | |
| There are too many people who are easily panicked. | |
| There are too many people in whose interest Whose interest it is, and in whose interest it is to have panic? | |
| I mean, the fact that the press keeps reporting the number of cases of the coronavirus, of COVID-19, who cares? | |
| The issue is, does it hurt anybody? | |
| And yes, it does. | |
| It hurts some people. | |
| That's the number I need. | |
| It's quite remarkable. | |
| It breaks my heart, the number of people losing jobs. | |
| The hotel industry is teetering. | |
| The hotel industry. | |
| Yes, there's nobody in hotels. | |
| That's correct. | |
| That's right. | |
| No, this is frightening. | |
| Okay, let's... | |
| Where's the Washington State? | |
| Dave in Rootsville, Washington. | |
| Hi. | |
| Hello. | |
| Hello. | |
| You can hear me right? | |
| Not great, but I hear you. | |
| Okay. | |
| The reason I called is because... | |
| No, no, you're breaking up. | |
| You're breaking up. | |
| Oh, God. | |
| I don't understand it. | |
| Isn't this... | |
| 2020? | |
| Why are phones an issue? | |
| I don't know what to say. | |
| I'm sorry there. | |
| What he wanted to report is Washington changed Marshall's state provision to include global warming. | |
| I looked that up seeing I couldn't find it on the internet. | |
| So I really wish you would send me an email with that and I would report it as such. | |
| I have to see backup for any of these things. | |
| Anyway, you know, I said this, it doesn't make any sense to me that if there is a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress, they will not have, they will not institute a state of emergency over climate change. | |
| That, they believe, is an existential threat to humanity. |
