It would seem that when Well Being Trust tells CNN that there will be a loss of life due to ‘coronavirus despair’, they actually believe it. Because when President Trump repeatedly referenced deaths from suicide and substance abuse as the result of continued lockdowns and economic struggle, corporate media made it political.
Here is the execrable Maggie Haberman assuring her readers at The New York Times that Trump and Republicans were just worried about the economy because it was an election year. Here’s the equally partisan Oliver Darcy accusing Fox News of carrying the president’s water to get the economy back on track. The Hill also pitched the president’s desire to keep the economy running as his primary pitch for reelection.
However, when the President himself was questioned about the statement in daily briefings, he could not have been clearer. He talked about an increase in suicides, increases in drug-related deaths, and domestic abuse. The media discounted these comments.
The U-turn CNN makes with this new information is pretty astonishing. Well Being Trust describes their mission as a national foundation dedicated to advancing the mental, social and spiritual health of the nation. According to the article (emphasis mine):.
As many as 75,000 Americans could die because of drug or alcohol misuse and suicide as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to an analysis conducted by the national public health group Well Being Trust.
The group is sounding the alarm that the growing unemployment crisis, economic downturns and stress caused by isolation and lack of a definitive end date for the pandemic could significantly increase so-called “deaths of despair” unless local, state and federal authorities take action.
“Unless we get comprehensive federal, state, and local resources behind improving access to high quality mental health treatments and community supports, I worry we’re likely to see things get far worse when it comes to substance misuse and suicide,” Well Being Trust’s chief strategy officer Dr. Benjamin F. Miller told CNN.
This is the exact same assertion President Trump made during multiple press briefings when the lemmings in the White House Press Corps challenged him on these comments. And the assessment made by Well Being Trust does not take into account the loss of life from years due to lack of care. Doctors have been sounding the alarm about empty emergency rooms that could lead to an increase in deaths from strokes and heart attacks. Others have been voicing concerns about delays in cancer treatment and chronic diseases like diabetes. Increasingly, children are missing well child checks that include vaccinations. An analysis by Just Facts asserts that anxiety from reactions to COVID-19 will destroy at least seven times more years of life that can be saved with lockdowns. This includes anxiety that causes people to forego medical care out of fear. Full Article - PJ Media
China Asked WHO To Delay Pandemic Announcement, Deny Human-To-Human Transmission: German Intelligence
German intelligence has revealed that Chinese President Xi Jinping asked World Health Organization (WHO) Director to cover up the severity of the coronavirus pandemic in January
During a January 21 conversation - one week after the WHO assured the world there was 'no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission' - Xi reportedly asked Tedros not to reveal that the virus was in fact transmissible between humans, and to delay declaring that the coronavirus had become a pandemic - despite the virus qualifying as one by the WHO's own former guidelines.

Trump is Not Weakening
What doesn't Kill him Makes him Stronger
I characterize President Trump's behavior as strategic rather than weak. Many Trump supporters are furious that Trump appears to allow Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx to dictate when we reopen America. At the same time, Democrats and fake news media absurdly claim Trump is responsible for thousands of deaths because he ignores science and health experts. Fake news media is flooding the airwaves with their claim that over 100,000 people will die if crazy Trump irresponsibly reopens America. Trump is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. I am confident that Trump will courageously press forward, doing what is best for We the People. Read More
