True Patriot Love - The Parasite On The Loose： Is This A Health Concern or Fear Mongering？

00:00:00.000 so why would a guy like me call it a pandemic why would other people online call it a pandemic

00:00:04.400 outside of not being able to pronounce the latin name for it but why are we fear-mongering again

00:00:09.600 in the news as america celebrates its 250th birthday they're celebrating in style with

00:00:20.160 something that's being called a poop pandemic on social media because of a horrible virus sweeping

00:00:25.680 through america especially in michigan and ohio and it's affected thousands of people well that's

00:00:32.000 what it's called brady i think no but i think that's what we called it i don't know is the

00:00:36.740 media reporting it as a poop pandemic it's well i think the ones that have trouble like pronouncing

00:00:41.820 the actual latin name of the virus okay all right well i just pulled when i was making the calendar

00:00:48.000 for this week i just pulled it and i i figured let's call it the poop pandemic so i'm i'm not

00:00:52.980 surprised that that's the name that's caught on but what exactly is the poop pandemic it doesn't

00:00:57.460 really sound like a pandemic jim you know it basically there's approximately seven to eight

00:01:02.640 thousand people across 32 states in america who are affected by this virus and it's a gastrointestinal

00:01:09.360 virus it's bloating cramping vomiting but the biggest thing is is what they're calling diarrhea

00:01:14.540 and it goes days on end until it leaves your system and the center for disease control in

00:01:21.720 america are pointing to salad and lettuce and onions and taco bell is the biggest culprits

00:01:27.680 so taco bell this is an actual thing corporate headquarters have had to remove a bunch of items

00:01:33.640 from their menu because it concerns okay taco taco bell i love taco bell you just had some

00:01:40.300 last night i had some last night and i worked so late that i i didn't even get it in me until

00:01:45.220 about 11 o'clock i was asleep by 11 30 so i went to sleep uh wrong uh with a full belly full of

00:01:50.700 taco bell so now i'm scared thanks well okay but the experts are saying it's basic food handling

00:01:57.240 safety wash everything you don't eat berries or lettuce or fruits and vegetables so thoroughly

00:02:03.600 washing them in your sink that seems basic you wash your hands a lot while you're handling food

00:02:08.440 and making something a proper hygiene and it's it's something they've been talked about for years

00:02:15.040 if you rinse salads and vegetables and lettuce and fruits and whatnot

00:02:21.040 and thoroughly prepare them and rinse it and then cook them properly,

00:02:24.700 it should be no problem.

00:02:25.880 But if you think, it's fine, I'm just going to grab this in the store.

00:02:28.940 Yeah, long gone are those days.

00:02:30.240 When we were younger, well, definitely when you were younger,

00:02:34.540 but when I was younger, you had the ability to kind of just grab

00:02:37.420 a piece of broccoli or a grape or one of those things out of your basket

00:02:41.420 that you've earned and eat it and you didn't worry about it.

00:02:43.660 but now no like you know when you see that wax uh kind of covering over top of grapes yeah to me i

00:02:50.740 always thought oh that's just naturally the way that the skin looks until i've actually seen a

00:02:54.740 winery and they're like they waste it where's the covering yeah yeah where's the covering so that

00:02:58.560 seems to be like residue from whatever there's being sprayed now here's the other fact there

00:03:03.360 are approximately 342 million people in america now that's the current population it's a big

00:03:07.820 population and we're talking about seven eight maybe nine thousand people who have this disorder

00:03:13.500 so why would a guy like me call it a pandemic why would other people online call it a pandemic

00:03:18.160 outside of not being able to pronounce the latin name for it but why are we fear-mongering again

00:03:23.420 in the news it a little bit and let's face it um chorus entertainment as we speak today

00:03:29.540 are firing dozens and dozens of people in calgary and edmonton and vancouver and it's it's been a

00:03:36.680 bad couple weeks for canadian media yeah where they're just slashing and burning and american

00:03:41.320 media is the same way this gets clicks this gets views this is red this creates content in the

00:03:48.360 wall street journal and bloomberg news and major networks are covering it you know i think 30 years

00:03:55.940 ago it would have been oh and by the way yeah it's the third or fourth item in a news thing

00:04:01.420 it would have been the the story before the water skiing squirrel exactly yeah yeah like i'm ron

00:04:07.260 burgundy yeah exactly but now it's like oh wait a sec this is views this is clicks red alert red

00:04:13.500 alert oh my god yeah you know what's a red alert is when you go outside in the air you can't breathe

00:04:18.860 because of smoke from a wildfire that is a much bigger concern for the population of not just

00:04:24.380 ontario but it's going into right like today as we're talking detroit is the worst air quality

00:04:29.740 in the world toronto had it yesterday yeah toronto had it yesterday you couldn't even see it was uh

00:04:35.100 it was supposed to be a sunny day beautiful day and we got completely smoked and they had to cancel

00:04:40.140 outdoor viewing parties for the world cup yesterday it was not safe that to me personally

00:04:45.580 that's affecting way way more people than the potential for this that someone got lazy didn't

00:04:50.860 wash their vegetables and fruits or maybe had taco bell 11 30 after a six-hour bender at the pub i

00:04:57.580 i didn't do that that was no i don't drink that's not what i like but i know what you mean i know

00:05:02.300 what you mean so late night taco bell maybe stay away from it and that's no that's no uh late night

00:05:06.860 fast food for anyone you might have it may not agree with you i'm not trying to throw dirt on

00:05:10.940 that franchise either what i'm saying is i think just because they use so many fresh ingredients

00:05:14.780 that's probably why and they just happens to be a meme that you know taco bell can so that

00:05:20.380 in the stories there's a photo of someone holding a bag of taco bell but what they're doing is

00:05:25.020 a lot of the the protos items that are being caused as the point of this they're removing it

00:05:30.460 until further notice okay out of precaution well i woke up this morning and i noticed um because

00:05:35.180 i had only been seeing articles and and and headlines coming in from the united states

00:05:39.500 specifically uh michigan and ohio that's where it's biggest yeah but this morning i did see

00:05:44.780 quebec saying that there is a parasite going around in some of these fruits and vegetables

00:05:49.500 they're saying it's not the same parasite as far as they know but but we now have our own warnings

00:05:54.140 yes but the the emergency doctor a brilliant doctor as he said wash wash wash everything yeah

00:06:00.540 wash your hands while you're preparing food and cooking wash all the vegetables and fruits it's

00:06:05.900 kind of food prep 101 and it's hygiene 101 and hygiene is i mean it's something that has been

00:06:12.220 an issue for people for generations and and it's still a big thing if you exercise proper hygiene

00:06:19.580 you're probably going to be okay look i thought we got the hygiene thing figured out over six

00:06:23.420 years when we were told everywhere we had to go we had to put hand sanitizer on and wash your hands

00:06:27.980 nine times a day to the point where they're bleeding exactly and get cracks in your knuckles

00:06:31.340 i thought we figured this out why are we back to not washing our hands again jimmy brady i don't i

00:06:36.140 don't know but that's what the emergency doctor out of montreal said and that's what the center

00:06:40.700 for disease controlled america is saying are they're reminding people to be thorough washing

00:06:45.020 your hands and then thoroughly rinse all your vegetables well they're also saying too when

00:06:49.020 you're rinsing vegetables and you're rinsing fruits now to maybe use a vinegar solution with

00:06:52.860 your water right that could also uh help prevent things like this from happening and it also keeps

00:06:57.260 your food a little bit fresh longer right so like one part vinegar three part water whatever the

00:07:01.660 the whatever your preference is i'm thinking though if you use vinegar and you're like washing

00:07:06.140 a whole big bin of raspberries do a very good job on trying to rinse those because there's so many

00:07:12.140 crevices in something like a raspberry or strawberry that you're gonna take a bite get that vinegar

00:07:15.900 taste it might throw you off from it but it does keep your food preserved a little bit more washing

00:07:19.580 it with vinegar and water and it seems to clean it and keep it clean let's face it it was what

00:07:24.860 about four or five months ago believe it was a cruise ship oh yeah they had a carnival half the

00:07:31.340 people yeah had an illness right there was a hotel in mexico a third of the guests had gastrointestinal

00:07:38.860 illness are you really surprised though about a cruise ship having in this issue because cruise

00:07:43.740 ship seems to be just a floating vessel of chaos and and why anyone does viruses no but so i know

00:07:51.600 a lot and you're right a lot has been made about this in the news and news cycle but we just have

00:07:56.340 to go over the last few years and there was like a hotel here a cruise ship here the different

00:08:01.380 things so this is not totally unusual these things happen like happen well and it's been

00:08:07.900 happening since the beginning of humanity right because up until from the research i've done up

00:08:13.100 until about 150 to 200 years ago this was like one of the number one killers was diarrhea and

00:08:18.100 dysentery and parasites from foods and waters and things like that sanitation you were talking

00:08:22.860 about Gettysburg they just had their uh their anniversary so they had the anniversary of

00:08:26.800 Gettysburg and I'm fascinated by the civil war in Gettysburg and they had mentioned one of the

00:08:30.940 experts one of the PhD in American history said you know prior to the battle when the troops are

00:08:37.700 in camp on both sides the biggest casualty was from illness dysentery and cholera because of

00:08:44.580 poor sanitation poor hygiene and they were sick remember when we were younger too when the the

00:08:50.980 computer stir first started coming around the very first game that i ever got that was an educational

00:08:55.380 game was the oregon trail and that was one of the things that you could do was die from dysentery by

00:09:00.340 not being clean not being or not boiling your water boiling your water right and you have all

00:09:04.980 all these survival games and video games now where that's one of the main things like these zombie

00:09:09.160 games and surviving alone in the woods you boil your water you use charcoal tablets things like

00:09:14.200 that so and the taylor sheridan show i think it's called 1883 okay where it depicts the um dutton

00:09:20.920 family leaving texas and going out to montana on the oregon trail and it and sam elliott is

00:09:26.700 brilliant in it and it shows how many people didn't make it yeah for and disease was one of

00:09:32.920 big reasons and they said if you if you fell ill in the morning you were done by midday look at

00:09:37.480 even food poisoning i don't know what like there's different types of food poisoning people get it

00:09:41.080 quite everyone's had it at one point you know a lot of the time you feel like it's just heat

00:09:44.440 stroke coming on if it's in the summer then it turns into something completely different

00:09:47.960 and i think even food poisoning was like a pretty dangerous thing until we realized that

00:09:52.120 this is the link to dehydration other things like that um antibiotics and we get iv drips from some

00:09:58.360 on some times now.
