Agree completely with you
@rederob, what I have a concern with is, how the Governments of the World reacted in such a major way, in the very early stages of the outbreak.
As you say it is very similar to the first SARs strain, yet the reaction by the Governments was far more severe and immediate, so did they know this was a much more dangerous strain? Was it just a good guess? Or was it an over reaction?
Or did they just get reasonably scared that a virus escaping from a lab could be a bioweapon, then when real death rates ended not too big a deal,they switch into using it as a tool:
Reset as trademarked in Davoz.
It worked wonderfully: 38% of aussies believes they are at risk.. yet in France when 10 of thousands died at the beginning when we had no treatment, and the virus widespread, the average age of Covid death is still in the 80's and above the live expectancy.
Delta variant spreading faster..but less deadly..both facts,how often do you hear both points. Etc
But here, even this week,we have reasonably educated people gobbling propaganda and repeating it as truth.they will be saved by the so called vaccines.
Worse,they fight the battle,like the good anti trump soldiers of a couple of years ago. Tools of the higher masters
A pathetic reflection on an educational system where critical thinking and statistical numeracy has disappeared.. or was not there in the first place?.
So here we are post covid,the new world..the one world with universal income and socialism heaven...
No borders for migrants but you can not visit your family in the neighbouring state.(US, Europe)
Flying is bad so you stay home and be sure not to see what's happening elsewhere
in case you can compare or realise the BS force fed to you does not match.
Unless you are from the elite obviously. With record provate jetting last year...
But no more peons travelling around.. destroying Venise pictures and spoiling the views
Not so sure it is working well actually.
The hysteria us vs them working well but
1) we are twisting the virus and creating new variants with the lockdown.the slower the spread the higher the number of mutants. And we might end up with a really scary one, i mean a real pandemy
2) science (as selectively pushed to us) can not be trusted anymore so that could have serious consequences on CC or the next pandemic..real or false.
3) obviously government credibility is sinking even deeper,as for democracy as a concept...
4) China uber All. And i am sure the reset was not aiming at that.
5) nor the fact people just disconnect.
Get out in the country and do gardening and golfing fishing instead of slaving ..
Grand plans usually collapse and thanks God or whatever for that
