Fighting COVID-19 With Sex Change ???

US doctors will be giving men female hormones in an alleged attempt to fight COVID-19:

OK, so I'm exaggerating - it's not REALLY a "sex change".

But it does have similarities with the nicotine cure, the malaria drug cure, the Lysol cure, and all the other acts of apparent desperation which keep popping up in the news.

Here is something I got from a personal communication with a globally recognized expert on pulmonary physiology:

"The state of clinical knowledge on how to treat the disease is not much better, but is improving rapidly as critical care docs communicate thru blogs etc."

Yes, surprisingly such critical sharing of information is taking place via blogs. It makes me wonder what the hell the NIH, CDC, WHO, etc. are doing. Why aren't THEY leading the charge to investigate this disease and devise workable treatments?

The situation reminds me of something which happened over 100 years ago:

The first World War was bloody and vicious. By its end, it had taken the lives of more than 20 million people. That number a few times over perished in the Spanish Flu that followed in its wake. It is a story that has been retold a lot lately.

There were other casualties of the Great War, too. The narratives of a protective ruling class across Europe. Fervent embrace of trade and economic models based on colonialism and imperialism. Oligarchies and monarchies, yes, but belief in the capacity of oligarchies and monarchies to act benevolently and competently in the defense of the people, too.

First, the people die; then, the stories.

The human toll of COVID-19 is unlikely to approach even a mean fraction of the pain visited on humanity in the first quarter of the 20th century. But what about the stories we tell about our global institutions, our shared values, and our own orthodoxies and authorities?

Those stories are dying. They are dying because the institutions built on those stories failed us all, and all at once.

First, the people die; then, the stories.

We are dying, and so are our governments and "our" global institutions. Our belief in their utility is being eroded to the point of being crushed. And what will replace it? Technocracy? The belief that Bill and Melinda Gates and their ilk can save us if we just let them take over every aspect of our lives?

Geez, I certainly hope not; since my perception of these ultra rich techies is that their foremost goal is to cull the human herd. And that makes me wonder why they didn't recommend just letting the virus "wash over us", killing some of us while allowing the survivors to achieve herd immunity. I think they didn't because they have something else in mind, something which will kill us off even faster while conferring no immunity at all.

Of course, since they work "in secret", we probably won't know what it is until they ram it down our throats some day:
