The Pandemic Pandemonium

You are not outclassed, my good lady. There is a lot to keep track of, and trust me... I struggle to keep up with, and process everything!

The lockdown might have made sense in Italy, because it had gotten out of control. However... that was all engineered. The planes should have been stopped, and they were not. Northern Italy has had its factories bought out by the Chinese, who then import in cheap labour from China to work in them. And guess how many have been coming and going, who were from Wuhan?

The lockdowns were out of proportion. And when you look at Sweden and the Netherlands, you can see that the virus did it's thing, no matter what. However, the lockdowns were all about crashing the economy, and absolutely wrecking everything. When I was preparing back in February, I was working on supplies of bottled water, because I saw a situation where the British Army was going to ahve to seize all of the power plants and water stations, to guarantee that they would still operate. Happily, we have not had such a breakdown - not even close. 

I will be carrying on with this, but my time right now is restricted. But this is a massive subject, and there are lots of layers to it all. Trust me, this isn't a pandemic - it's a plandemic.

A view from the US

Apparently the likely number of fatalities if the government did nothing was grossly over-estimated there too:

”The people who wanted lockdowns had gained the obeisance of powerful people in government institutions and in the media. So actual data, science, or respect for human rights suddenly became meaningless. All that mattered was getting those lockdowns. So the lockdown crowd destroyed the lives of millions in the developed world—and more than a hundred million in the developing world—to satisfy the hunches of a tiny handful of politicians and technocrats.”

I have been taking the virus fairly seriously when it comes to keeping a distance from people, but am not paranoid about germs. I go out quite frequently - London is a much better place without all the traffic and tourists!

I can’t decide whether the lockdown decision was based on incompetence and misleading information or whether it was part of a sinister social experiment. Maybe it was a bit of both.

The current economic system, the petrodollar system, is dying fast. This helps to cover it up. Also, it is an attack on Trump, to weaken him. The plan was to keep us all shut down until November, so they could rig the election, and make it a solid win for the Deep State.

As for how nasty the virus is, it is a chimera. Made in a lab, then escaped. Or rather, released. It is made to target humans. Also, it seems to be more damaging to those who have had regular vaccines. Also, we need to look at those with lasting health problems, and see if there is a correlation. And that is currently not possible, because it is too soon to work out and understand.

It can leave people rather drained and tired, meaning they need time after fighting it off to recover, and get back up to speed. 

My workplace is on the frontlines to this pandemic, so I know from simple observation how it can hit people. So far, a quarter of the regular workforce got it, and the majority was not so bad. The big question is asymptomatic spread. We need to hope that we have had a handful of strains rampage through the population, not showing any hint of being about. Why? It effectively becomes a vaccine, against the nastier strains. And we develop herd immunity...

As an aside, George Carlin had some thoughts (in adult language) about germs:



One comment from the video:

"Legend says, George got infected by a corona virus once. But after five days of agonizing pain, the virus died."

“Made in a lab, then escaped. Or rather, released.”

“Too many coincidences to make this "just random". Yes, a PLANdemic.”

A former head of MI6 believes that it WAS made in a lab, but the escape was accidental.

It is very interesting to see that some demographics are affected more than others, Bangladeshis for example.

In London at least, certain ethnicities dominate certain frontline positions. Bus drivers, the security men on the doors of food shops operating the one out, one in system for example.

New Zealand: a COVID-19 success story

1,506 cases of coronavirus and just 22 deaths. Only 2 new cases in the month of June: two people from Britain allowed in to visit a dying relative under compassionate exemptions that are no longer in place.

Those 22 deaths are a tragedy, but New Zealand escaping with such little damage is a miracle, right?

Well, not really. Just a triumph of common sense over liberalism.

New Zealand killed coronavirus by being illiberal. In a rare move for a Western regime, Jacinda Ardern's government prioritised public health over the profit margins of big business. How did they do this?

- Completely shutting down the borders to non-residents and quarantining returning New Zealanders for 14 days;
- A strict early domestic lockdown before case numbers spiralled out of control;
- Bringing in a comprehensive and efficient contact tracing scheme

New Zealand has now lifted all lockdown restrictions: no more social distancing needed and people can gather in public again. Pubs and cinemas and restaurants are open, people are back at work, and weddings and funerals can take place as normal again. Life is back to normal for New Zealanders. The borders are still closed, in a wise move to make sure that the virus isn't reintroduced.

Compare all of this to the catastrophically incompetent handling of the crisis by the British government, who made face masks mandatory on public transport 3 months into lockdown, and seem to be of the view that viruses can spread in pubs and football stadiums but not in Primark. More people will sadly die from this virus and we're going to be living in this limbo for most of the rest of this year and possibly longer, thanks to a negligent and inept government.

Because of the New Zealand government's decisive action, all New Zealand has to do now is keep its borders closed. That's it.

Prime Minister Ardern has a load of other policies that I completely disagree with, but she has done a superb job in protecting her country from coronavirus and she should be praised for it.

Oh, wow... that video had me watching with eyes very wide...

It is correct. Masks are not useful. You need a full seal, and filters that are designed to stop viruses. I'm about to post a video, which has doctors talking about why wearing masks is dangerous. A topic close to my heart, as I a now being forced to wear one at work now. Well, I wear glasses, so I can have a visor instead. 

And it is utterly fascinating how they talked about Chloroquine in that video. 2003... the earliest study showing it can work against it was 2005. Meaning it likely was known by the Deep State much earlier. 

I am currently drinking tonic water to fight against this, though I suspect I already have contracted it, and was asymptomatic. I am having the antibody test on Monday, so we will see what happens there.

But, yes. This was planned decades ago. They have been working to a plan for a long, long time.

"Masks are not useful."

I feel very lucky not to be affected one way or the other by many of the issues on which the 'experts' contradict each other. The WHO said early on that masks were not effective - but some people said that this was to avoid a demand and save them for frontline staff. Some people believe that even ordinary masks, although they can't compete with the ones used by medical staff, give a little extra protection and keep the wearers' germs close to home; others believe that they give a false sense of security.

I have seen some very strange sights on the streets of London.  Some people wear what look like spacemen's helmets!

Part of the problem in the UK is that each country has it's own leglislature coming up with its own way of doing things. It is causing a big headache as a result.

It's almost as if devolution isn't as great an idea as it might first seem...

Avacyn, I don't think we massively disagree here. I know you disagree on lockdown but seem to agree on the importance of shutting the borders. It's not a coincidence that East Asian countries have fared far better than European ones. They're very collectivist nations not wedded to liberalism and so have no philosophical or logistical issues in doing what's necessary to protect the public health. Westerners, meanwhile, cry about McDonald's being closed.

Even Worst Korea, the most pozzed, capitalistic, Americanised East Asian country, dealt with the virus in a very illiberal way with great success. Best Korea hasn't had a single case, because their borders are completely closed, but it wouldn't be fair to praise them especially for that, seeing as that's how they always are!

Now Mayor Sadiq Khan wants to make face coverings compulsory for shoppers.

So, in the latest episode of Clown Island, the world's most ridiculous government has decided that the pubs can reopen in July, but gyms can't. Right, because a roomful of drunks is easier to manage than sober people keeping to themselves on their machines. Are these clowns for real?

And a piss-up surrounded by dozens of strangers is also considered more important to Clowning Street than weddings, which are limited to 30 people. I suppose that is at least consistent with LibLabCon anti-family, consumerist ideology.

There were two logical responses to this pandemic: continue as normal to protect people's livelihoods, or do a proper lockdown to protect their health. Instead, we got half-arsed half measures that aren't protecting either; people will still lose savings, jobs, and businesses, and the virus will continue to spread.

Not sure what is going on with her. She has all this time seemed like a Deep State puppet, but... the border situaion is puzzling. The Deep State was clearly planning to use New Zealand as a refuge - lots of the high level players have bunkers there. The swift shutting down of borders killed all of that for them. They couldn't go and hide away over there.

Really interesting indeed. Is she flipping, was she playing them along... be interesting to see what is revealed, in the end.
