The world has gone mad.
Ecuador is not
accepting any international flights. So I can't go there. The u.s. is
not accepting any flights from Europe. And Europe is on its way to lock
down. So I am enjoying Bulgaria.
The hospitals in north Italy are overloaded. Their respiration machines
are in short supply. They don't have enough to go around.
Even if you have insurance it would not do you any good.
People in Italy have to have a written affidavit explaining what they're
doing out of their houses. If you're not providing for your family
grocery shopping you will be fined and or arrested.
To put things in perspective, 68,000 people died of the flu just in the
few months of the flu season in 2013 in Italy.
In the u.s. over 100,000
people die from the flu annually just in the three or four months of
the flu season.
All of the people that are dying in Italy are over the age of 60 and
have/had pre existing health conditions.
It was Hippocrates that said: "let food be your medicine".
If food can be our medicine, how much sense does it make to be taking
our medicine on a regular basis as a preventative rather than just when
we're not feeling well.
The second word in FI is Independence. Independence is the absence of
being dependent. Real Financial Independence is not getting a lower
rate on your health insurance, it is not needing insurance.
Let us take care of our bodies today. Take a look at this article and
see how many of these things you can do on your own without depending on
any one else or any institution.

Let us not fall prey to fear and panic. It has been said that knowledge
is power. Yes it can be the power to be fearless.
