On the one hand, the world is being told that President Chavez is recovering, that only the ghouls believe he is gravely ill and his time to pass is coming soon.

On the other, we are hearing that he is sick enough that it is proper to disrupt the lives of the people.

So which is it? If he has not passed away, and is not close to it, why is the Venezuelan government basically taking a mourning stance?
