WATCH: How to Practice Proper Social Distancing – #PropagandaWatch

In the latest episode of PW James Corbett breaks down how the media program responses, and considers the “new normal”

“We are being told to flatten the curve by practising social distancing. We are being told to quarantine shame those who break the new societal taboos. So how exactly do you introduce entirely new cultural norms across much of the world in the space of just a few weeks? Watch and learn.”

Links, sources and show notes, plus an audio-only version are available here. James has done some great work on the coronavirus outbreak, we also highly recommend “Medical Martial Law” and “How is Japan Reacting to the Crisis?”.

Thank you so much you are spot on and I am sharing as much as I can. We are so divided and the government is accomplishing what they intend. People do not research and just follow what they are told. Thanks again

The Pharma industry is an extension of the axis of Oil cartels
It used to be called Rockefeller medicine.
Old Bill Rockefeller et al used ‘philanthropy’ to starve and sideline empiric medicine (practice that people chose because they had reason to believe it worked), but retained a personal private homeopath. While uncovering the suppressed history from the victor’s propaganda is disturbing, it is also opening the way to arts and sciences that embody relational integrity instead of possession and control of a segregative elitism set over managed fear.

When a ‘Fear and Control’ agenda weaponises the Medical Imperative for (geo) political leverage, it opens the door to re-evaluate the medical model and the integrity of medical institutions. The phrase ‘settled science’ and ‘scientific consensus’ would only hold a current state of affairs if the door is open to acknowledge any lack of consent or challenge to the model or hypothesis. Vested interests operate to make science inoperable except in little pockets that find ways to lev under the radar or in some sense survive despite being walled out or lacking funding.

I find a lot of interesting documents on http://whale.to
– but for discernment and not blind trust.
Just because Pharma is corrupt does not make anti-Pharma ‘virtuous’.

The mind largely works upon a network of presumptions taken on trust, as well as using terms and phrasing that is accepted to mean something but used to mean something else – often opposite to the asserted apparent meaning. Like healthcare…

The hypothesis of ‘virus’ or exosome (extracellular communication and exchange) represents a legitimate function within biology, but fear-infected thinking projects a fight-flight binary exclusion onto anything and everything, operating invisibly as the interpreting lens through which we think we ‘see’.

Fear, locks down, self isolates and demands or generates defences to protect the fear from growing out of control, and so limits everything to the controllable by setting offlimits – as banned, denied and censored thought and speech ruled out as a no go area.

The ‘everything is connected’ and nothing is really separate’ recognition – is an ‘Open System’ in which multiple and diverse seemingly closed systems arise and operate in synergy that includes both harmony and dissonance or balanced and unbalanced states.

The opening or Disclosure of a closed-system mind to the already context of a greater Communication is likely to trigger the re-opening or re-enacting of Separation fears that are otherwise masked over by personal and societal masking.

I appreciate James Corbett for maintaining a life-positive commentary on this CV issue and many others, that all have an underlying connection in the ‘fear-control’ of a narrative shenanigan – that is also associated with mass ritual sacrifice. We note overt war and covert violence but few pick up on the official third leading cause of death in USA/UK and I don’t doubt other ‘developed’ nations. I suspect it is in truth the leading cause of death – but – But – BUT I also hold that any designated CAUSE of death is a gross simplification or reduction of a complex of negative synergies to a narrative that fits its current operating system.

Death by pneumonia – by all causes – and there are various paths that can lead there is increasing. Breath and spirit were once the same word and meaning.
Breathing is something we take for granted – as a sort of given that we don’t have to gratefully receive. Many mind calming practices for opening presence focus or centre in breath. When fear disturbs the heart and conflicts the mind, breathing loses its rhythm and resonance. The experience of being breathed by Life is an extraordinary intimacy in the ordinary moment.

I see the disclosure of us to ourselves happening in a way that part of us rebels against by all and any means at all or any costs because it carries a sense of extinction of life as we know or control it. If the false centre is undone of the possessive illusion of control, where do you stand in, and be from?

Without some spark of faith or intuition of Life beyond our mapping in image and thought, is a closed system in its own death spiral hell bent on taking victory from the ruins.

The cell, the self, the planet, the star, the galaxy – are all unique expressions of an Open System – for want of better words. But simply being the love that you are – just because … is the resonance that aligns you in what is truly addressed to you. Before killing the Messengers, give them a chance to communicate the information that will serve the seemingly closed system by a relational expansion that holds order while also holding for the conditions in which life flourishes from its Root – rather than being factory ‘grown’ biogenetically as the logical outcome of total food control.

I have met gestapo-like barking from the fear-possessed. But a willingness to not identify in reaction allowed seeing and feeling the fear in their heart, and then extending that recognition with hardly a glance, and knowing it was received. The Messengers from the Master are what the ‘tenant farmers’ killed, in the parable – in fear of losing what they had come to think was theirs alone.

Agree with everything he says, which vitally important. But this gives us the “what” of the operation, but what about the “who”? Who exactly is doing this? I assume there is at least one “war room” in a private industry cutout somewhere pushing these messages — everything from changing the statistics on the Spanish Flu in Wikipedia to align it with COV19 to having four respected doctors push an article in Lancet advocating for a fraudulent method of counting deaths to make COV19 look more deadly than it is–but where is that room and who funds it? There have to be people out there who have personal knowledge of the various compartments of the psyop, and there have to be a handful of people who have been read-in to the entirety of the op. Can someone reverse engineer this op to trace it’s origins. Certainly Gates would have been in a compartment, and Soros will likely be part of it. But who else?

Well, Boris Johnson himself and the health secretary Matt Hancock have supposedly tested positive for this disease. Like everything else surrounding this you have take it with large pinch of salt if not directly calling it out as BS. (Boris did look a bit puffy faced whilst reassuring the nation that he only had mild symptoms, but nothing new there…)

Seriously, I am waiting for a big celebrity ‘death’ in relation to this just to put the icing on the cake. Perhaps it will even be a senior royal, after all ‘corona’ means crown. (Failing that a leading cast member – one of the longstanding actors – of Corona(tion) Street). The ‘deceased’ royal personage will then be whisked away to a plush bunker or other secluded location where they can live out their days. They will even be able to revel in media coverage of their death and even raise a glass of Corona (beer) whilst watching their own funeral, their coffin carried on a gun carriage through empty streets headed by a few Royal Household cavalry officers the requisite 2 metres apart.

Many thanks for that. Proves that, as some of us already thought, the world has gone completely mad at the moment (and unfortunately not in the “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this any more”, but in the “insane” sense).

I just got back from southern France yesterday. There is “lockdown” there as well of course, but while I was effectively self-isolating in the house where we were staying, another member of the household was shopping every few days, and while there were some shortages, he didn’t seem to have any major problems.

So, today was my first attempt to shop in lockdown-UK. I was shocked to find the car park in my local Waitrose, chock full of shoppers, carefully spaced out at the regulation 2 metres. The queue extended out of the car park, and right around the building. It didn’t quite encircle it, but it wasn’t far off. The queue wasn’t moving, but I think these middle class virtue-signallers were enjoying their hardship, at least the ones near the front. After all the weather was nice. We’ll see how it goes when the rain and wind come back.

I gave up and tried to do a few things in town, only one of which was successful (drop off a letter to a bank), then drove out to our huge out of Town Tesco, just to see what the score was. Just as bad if not worse. I didn’t stay. I found a small convenience type store in a more proletarian area. There were no restrictions getting in, but the 2 metres were enforced at the checkout. People here seemed less patient, and I heard comments implying that they thought it was unnecessary. One young man (who only wanted cider) actually got quite stroppy, although still got served. Another slightly larger local store I later visited, which had more choice, had similar arrangements, which seemed to work quite well.

Well, while people seem to be content to be pushed around for now (I think some people actively like it, and we know certain people definitely like pushing around other people), I don’t see it lasting. Just say you are queuing in the car park and the heavens open, and it’s also freezing. Do you grit your teeth and stay there, or run for your car or shelter, and lose your place in the queue that you’ve been in for an hour? I can see deaths by pneumonia rising, caused not by the bloody virus but by standing in freezing rain for hours.

Certainly the number of infections in any given country is much much higher than those published ones.
The strong and very simple reason is: People suffering from the exact Covid-19 symptoms are forbidden from having a test if they hadn’t been overseas or if they haven’t been in contact with a CONFIRMED case.

Please note the importance of ‘Conformed case’, which means the PRIORITY is to TRACK the disease. The lesson is: TRACKING, where the disease is spreading, is far more important than looking after patients.

This is the OFFICIAL line: They will look after the patient ONLY in near death situation.

My hope at the moment is that people will get bored of all of these death stats. The numbers are so small, but it’s just so easy to manipulate people with them.

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life waiting each day to see how many geriatrics had a coronavirus in their system when they died. And hiding inside or dodging police while going for a walk or going to the shops outside.

I am sure public attitudes to this will change, but how quickly and in what direction I just do not know.

At what point (if ever) are people going to say, “Hey, why don’t we go outside and start living again, instead of hiding inside and living in fear?”

I’m concerned at the moment that this circus could end up going on forever. One of my favorite sayings is:

“this too shall pass”

I do my best to keep that in mind.

Mr Corbett is right. Imagine if you could go back just a month ago and tell everyone this scenario:

That somebody would get up in extreme moral indignation and say something like, “GOOD GOD! LOOK OVER THERE! PEOPLE OUT AND ABOUT! ACTUALLY OUTSIDE! SOME OF THEM WERE EVEN TOUCHING EACH OTHER! MORONS! BLOODY MORONS! SHOOT THE BASTARDS!”

Everyone would chuckle and say, “Well that guy would have to be psychotic. What a fucking fruit bat!” And you’d say, “It isn’t just one person. It’s tons. It’s perhaps even the majority.” And everyone would say, “Well thank God we’ll never live in a world like that!”

I’m appalled that you have been left without an income, GP. Presumably, you have made all possible enquiries about accessing our utterly inadequate ‘safety net’? I thought reciprocal arrangements were in place re Aust and NZ citizens?

Our free local paper has just announced that it will continue to appear weekly but each letterbox will only receive every second copy – presumably running out of delivery persons. All reductions in productive activity have damaging multiplier effects and need to stop NOW and be reversed.

I really appreciate your words CM. Reciprocal arrangements? Howard tore them up. Any Kiwi that came here after Feb 2001 can legally live here (we get a special visa) and yes, we are allowed a Medicare card, but financial assistance?
We are allowed 6 months dole payments After being here 10 years. Then that’s it…. Nix, Nada, Nothing. Zero.
A lot of Kiwi’s, maybe 200,000 will be in the same boat. We work here, pay our taxes here, but if we lose a job, that’s it.
I found all this out after I lost my factory job in early 2009. And yeah, tried every avenue, incl seeing Federal senator immigration lawyer, etc.
There are thousands of Kiwi’s suing the Australian Govt in a class action. You’ve probably heard Kiwi’ s are increasingly being deported if they spent time in jail… even if it was 15-20 years ago. Some were being sent to Christmas Island or Manus first. Some who came here as children are being forcibly deported to NZ. A lot of Aussies don’t know any of this. This is way off topic, so will stop now, but thanks for your reply…

But today I stood in one of those spaced out queues like a funeral march on the moon and there were folks in face masks and it all looked like something out of Fahrenheit 451. But when people started chatting, it was a different atmosphere and then it struck ne that the actual social aspect was something that our vicious overlords have no control over. That is why they must impose those “waxwork of horror” displays. Pure visual intimidation.

And the latest I’ve heard is of cancer patients being cast aside while the NHS struggles to cope with the common cold. And some taking advantage of the 12 week absence by deliberately coughing a lot for a nice little break.

She is finally catching on but she will not see it in the one dimensional world view.

A line is 1D. Left and Right is put on a line.
REALISING they are the SAME is the first step of waking from a dream.
But that will not happen unless one understands WHY they are the same. To do that one needs to first see the two dimensional version of that line. And then the 3rd and yes even the 4th (time).

Then and only then will Kim and anyone who is not already privy to such truth by virtue of birth , see that the only real and ancient truth of the human condition is a constant battle for freedom from slavery that almost all humans ever were born into.

The virus crackdown is just the ancient slaveowners way of ratcheting down on the slave rebellion. We are all spartacus in the cuckoos nest.
We have been bred for hundreds of generations to succombe when they crack the whip. They occasionally give a little but within a few generations take more back.

I remember joking with them when I went by “you’ll catch your death of cold” and “you wouldn’t want to be sick waiting in this queue”. Grim smiles from everyone, I guess they must’ve thought “what a tube”.
I went home and we had breakfast.
Anyway, later on breaking the Boris curfew fatwa, this was my second time out to the shops…I found myself back in Aldi, I had forgot to get beans…The bigmouth serving on the till next to mine, shouted “Look, everyone, He’s been in more than once”! I shouted back, “it’s for my neighbour, do you want an old Dear to starve”?
He would have been the nasty sort of person that asked Peter if He knew Christ before the Cock crowed…I didn’t feel as guilty as Peter would’ve in His three denials….
I digress…back to the main thrust as the pope said to the bishop…
Being a virus denier, I next went into Farmfoods, they have 100 gram aeros for 69p. The temptation for mint aero was too much not to risk corono death or the wrath of Bozo.
So, I was finally waiting on the appointed and marked spot, just ahead of the death zone. It was 2meters at least but I still couldn’t help overhearing the conversation the till lady was having with Jean who works in the other chemist, the one that didn’t have the queue…
“That Bloody Doctors Surgery, we tell them and tell them not to keep sending everyone round to the same chemist”!
Is this intentional, are they making more trouble? Every little helps after all according to Trashco.
If I am going mad, you can tell me, I can take it.

Yesterday I posted a quote – with link – regarding the Oxford Study claiming that perhaps half of the UK population has already been exposed to Covid-19 – to a comment thread at ‘The Guardian’. My only addition was to type ‘Good News’, which it is, as it automatically vastly reduces hospitalization and mortality rates.

My comment was deleted 5 minutes later for violating ‘community standards’.

Today the Guardian has an article on “Can we trust the Oxford Study”

I haven’t read it yet, but I can guess what the answer is.

Unfortunately, I can’t read, so tomorrow I will be venturing out into the countryside again. I plan to do my weekly long country walk a day early, if I can get away with it. I expect that roadblocks will be put in place soon. I can only hope the sheep and cattle can stay safe.

I suggest do the same when this is over – split into 3 groups. Those loyal and unwavering (my definition of a friend) – those who’ve understandably fallen under the spell but nevertheless are kind – and those who offer nothing. Ditch the last third.

They are all cheery and laughing about the situation as they stand the obligatory distance away from each other and, no doubt, decrying the shortage of hair dye in the supermarkets. Seriously, I have read that hair dye is the latest commodity to be in short supply as hairdressers are having to close. I’m all right, I’ve never used hair dye and I cut my own hair (seriously, it occurred to me six months ago that I was paying a small fortune to be tortured and make vacuous small talk every three months!

It’s become very draconian here in Italy. My Milan apartment does not have a balcony. Some days ago they closed parks, sent the army in and have drones flying around. For days I have been wanting to go out to buy food….but they AGAIN changed the auto-certification form I need to sign and show to police if I am stopped. It’s a full page of legalese and I just haven’t had the willpower to copy out this third (?) version by hand (don’t have printer toner). I am scared of the 3,000 fine if I don’t have the right form. I don’t think I will be stopped, the Italian police are generally very polite and even friendly. But I am not stepping out without that form. However, I can walk in circles around my apartment block.

You definitely wouldn’t get any benefit from the TV anyway at the moment. As a self-confessed TV junkie, I’ve watched less TV (and then only pre-recorded stuff) in the past fortnight than I would have otherwise thought possible. Only because I want to scream every time I hear the word ‘coronavirus’ and see the self-indulgent, condescending and self-righteous lecturing every minute of the day. Last week one of the BBC presenters (I think it was Victoria Derbyshire) told us we’d have to stand 2 metres apart and added helpfully for those without a brain that they should “imagine Peter Crouch lying down”.

My advice is spend as much time on here as you can to retain your sanity, be educated and be entertained from time to time. What better? I’m retired and on my own and that’s what I do! 😉

I’m researching the stories regarding the Doctors who have died. Before you say anything, I aknowledge that they were brave men who gave their lives to help people. Would have know that their health put them at extra risk? Where they older people, did they have health issues themselves?
That said, let’s take a dispasionate look at the facts. The ages and the health of these people.
Marcello Natali age 57
Italian doctor who warned about a lack of protective gloves for medical workers treating coronavirus patients dies of the disease just weeks later Daily Mail Headline.

While the Italian translation of the Press release from the 20th says that Marcello had no underlying health issues, He certainly does not look a young 57 nor what might be called in the peak of condition either.

Upvote for the joke, but not for the sentiment. 57 isn’t old, and he doesn’t look too bad. It’s a terrible quality photo though, and you can’t tell much about his health just from that.

What I would like to know about this death, and indeed all the deaths that occurred in hospital after patients have been hospitalised after being “diagnosed” with Covid19, is what specific treatment(s) are they being given? (Come to that, I’d like to know what specific treatments are given in the many cases of hospitalised influenza patients who die in hospital).

Are they being given intravenous ascorbic acid (vitamin C), for example?

http://www.doctoryourself.com/IVAA-COVID19-Hospital-Use-Anderson-03.24.2020.pdf

Or perhaps has anyone thought of trying inhaled nebulised iodine (in the form of Lugol’s Solution which is elemental iodine dissolved in potassium iodide) or potassium iodide? Or just ingestion of Lugols?
I believe iodine in various forms was successfully used in the “Spanish Flu” pandemic in some places.

https://oawhealth.com/article/iodine-the-universal-nutrient

Many physicians would be surprised to learn that more than a hundred years ago, iodine was called “The Universal Medicine”, and was used in several clinical conditions. Nobel Laureate Albert Szent Györgyi,1 the physician who discovered Vitamin C in 1928, commented:

“When I was a medical student, iodine in the form of KI was the universal medicine. Nobody knew what it did, but it did something and did something good. We students used to sum up the situation in this little rhyme:

If ye don’t know where, what, and why
Prescribe ye then K and I.
Our medical predecessors, …were keen observers and the universal application of iodide might have been not without foundation.”

[K=potassium I=iodine KI=potassium iodide]

Interestingly, Albert Szent Györgyi, like Linus Pauling, lived to be 93. These old vitamin and nutrient guys must have been doing something right, and yes, he was another Nobel laureate. These people were not just anonymous bloggers on ‘tinternet.

I found this article about the risks inherent in mechanical ventilation.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2199002

Is it possible that in an effort to get these ‘valuable’ doctors back to fitness they were given hasty, priority access to ventilators …with the risks involved? It begs the question whether mechanical ventilators are necessarily the absolute necessity -as opposed to standard oxygen feed systems that have until now been the norm for treating most patients with breathing problems. I ask myself, apart from James Dyson, how many others are profitting from sales of mechanical ventilators?

The linked document also points to the need for staff deploying mechanical ventilators to be extremely well disciplined and co-ordinated in using the machines as, if that’s not in place, it can directly impact on the risk of death.

You raise a good point. I’ve been watching videos on CGTN youtube channel. Yes, I know this is a Chinese govt channel. But the videos showing the hospitals and life in Wuhan are fascinating and oddly reassuring. I saw in those videos that they are super organized about putting people on mechanical ventilation. It is very invasive and to be avoided if at all possible. Also, they had isolated their critical patients by reorganizing the wards: you enter through one dressing room to suit up and exit through another. In Italy, especially in the first few weeks, the isolation procedures were not of the same standard. A lot of patients got infected because they were in the hospital, not before going to the hospital. That’s a well accepted fact but one the biggest newspapers are not keen to discuss. e.g., https://www.avvenire.it/attualita/pagine/bergamo-medici-ospedale-alzano-coronavirus

It’s anathema in our society to even hint at the possibility of incompetence in the medical fraternity. Believe you me, I’ve seen it in action. Luckily for me I’ve only had two experiences where I’ve witnessed emergency treatment in UK hospitals: for both my mother and father.

My elderly father was assured by a doctor that “He certainly wasn’t dying”…much to the doctor’s embarrassment (metaphorically speaking because I doubt there was any sense of embarrassment, just self-righteousness) he was dead two hours later and they didn’t figure out what was wrong with him until the post-mortem (aneurysm). ‘They’ told us he would probably have died anyway, and I have no reason to doubt this, but that isn’t my point.

In my mother’s case she was overdosed daily on unnecessary morphine for over seven weeks and returned home with opiate-induced dementia which she never recovered from and she and my brother who looked after her until her death lived with the consequences for a further five years. So, no, I don’t regard our doctors and nurses with the same respect and confidence that we’re brainwashed to do without question.

So I think we should be allowed to question whether medical incompetence – on a small or even a large scale – contributes to death rates.

I worked in hospitals for years. Incompetence by doctors is rife. Excellent, attentive, care is also common. However, nurses are rather better suited to their work. Those not up to it soon drop out and do other things, or get promoted to management, whereas many doctors, even is monstrously incompetent, arrogant and even inhumane, have too much invested in their glittering careers to go elsewhere. Nepotism and Groupthink, following the Head of Department (progress comes ‘one funeral at a time’)is also rife.

Thanks, Richard, for this insight. The same brother of mine who looked after our mother had studied natural sciences at Cambridge University in the early 1980s. In Year 2 (?) the students had to choose specific disciplines. My brother knew a number of fellow students who initially opted for medicine because….’they would be able to command very good salaries and all the trappings, and they would be able to mix with attractive nurses’. Being a person of high moral and ethical standards himself, it would be no exaggeration to say he absolutely despised them.

I say that they ‘initially’ opted for medicine because a number of them switched to veterinary medicine not because they ‘loved animals’ but because…’they would earn a comfortable income, and there wouldn’t be the same pressure to get things right because they could cover up mistakes more easily than if they were dealing with people’!

Doctors bury their mistakes. To be honest about one’s errors would be considered ‘poor form’, liable to upset the ‘customers’. It is much worse in private hospitals, and, if you’re acutely ill the ambulance will take you to a teaching hospital, your best chance for survival. If you need a dicky knee fixed, go private.

Sorry to her about your father. To be clear, I wasn’t referring to the totally overwhelmed medical staff here at Lombardy hospitals. There are of course individual instances of incompetence in hospitals. But my ire is targeted at regional right wing politicians in Lombardy. They wasted several weeks witch-hunting people with a “China connection” instead of RESPONDING to doctor’s requests for isolated structures to keep covid patients from infecting the whole hospital. It is well know here that this is what happened but the mainstream media have not given it the coverage it deserves. After SARS, China reorganized it whole system. They have these “fever clinics”, SEPARATED from a hospital, which is the first place people with fever go to. In Wuhan, the people were tested at these isolated clinics. Then they were either directed to a special hospital if deemed critical or to one of those makeshift places where they at least got basic care, were monitored, and most importantly, did not infect their families.

Thanks for the clarification. I hear what you say and agree. My point was simply that we should never feel pressurised by society into dismissing the possibility of medical incompetence if ‘we’ are to be honest in looking for factors that may contribute to deaths. But you are right – many unnecessary deaths are undoubtedly attributable to resource, management and policy decisions.

There have been nato exercises in the nordic countries in recent months and through the winter – my conjecture is thay US troops are the common denominator in the spread of n-cov – it seems that this will be given the cover story of a cock up rathet than a planned worldwide attack using US personnel as virus spreaders.
https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/training-simulation/nato-allies-and-finland-participate-exercise-cold-/

A very efficient use of a few expendable grunts and easier than sending missiles or aircraft spraying (happened in Korea and Vietnam).

Future wars are almost never fought with the previous wars weapons – this is the world war and it is involving the whole world using biological warfare.

If I am correct there must already have vaccine available to go with it – all the top people will have had it.
They are not dropping dead. Even as the public figures and entertainment celeb members of their establishment are flagged as ‘infected’ – that means innoculated.

I presume, but I don’t know, that he is referred to the genome sequences from Finland; there were some early cases noted in Finland. Here in Italy, it’s slowly coming out that the anomalous “pneumonia” has in fact been circulating since autumn 2019 in Lombardy and the area around Piacenza in Emilia Romagna. This is consistent with studies on virological.org which estimate the origin of the virus around November 2019, at least. The virus strain in Lombardy is many mutations away from the virus strain in two Chinese tourists who got sick in Rome and had the Wuhan reference genome strain. They were isolated quickly and there was no major outbreak in Rome at the time. Also the WHO Joint Mission report noted that in Guangdong, China they retroactively tested 350,000 influenza samples from Nov.Dec 2019 once the test kits became available in January. 0.5% of these were found to have been covid. This from the US Senate but no dates or places. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4860650/user-clip-diagnosed-flu-covid-19&fbclid=IwAR1mQQ6CBPyfTYJPoIBfNi6uIlsv_9eU2aAOhC43mQTX1Y6TaLaYBDDzr8E

The smoking gun is: ‘Did any of those US military competitors test positive for Wuhan strain of Coronavirus upon return to the USA?’

There is no way on earth that those tests have not been done, so the conclusion has to be is that they did test positive and Mike Pompeo is doing anything to suppress it.

Another question is whether those treated for fever in October 2019 prior to going to Wuhan gave any medical samples of any kind: if they did, then those can also be tested for Coronavirus Wuhan Strain nucleic acids. Which might prove some were positive for the virus BEFORE going to Wuhan. Dear me….

You can also now use the ‘antibody tests’ to see if they have circulating antibodies to Wuhan Strain coronavirus in their blood.

Wonder which journalist will ask Mike Pompeo these dynamite questions at his next press briefing?

One of the things people need to be careful about doing is assuming that the different mortality rates in different countries has to be ascribed solely to ‘the virus’.

There are many issues to consider here:
1. Air quality – the worse the air quality, the more likely it is that respiratory health problems will be more severe.
2. The general state of immune health in the population: the more widespread heavy smoking is, the more likely there will be high lethality, at least until proven otherwise.

I am not saying that there has not been a global campaign to paint virus all over the globe, I am saying that this CoVid19 condition is not merely due to viral infection and there are many other cofactors which must be considered when studying epidemiological data.

Absolutely. Keep in mind that 98% of Italian “covid” deaths have 1 or more serious pathologies. I have been so alarmed since Feb 23 because I saw that the situation in Italy was being manipulated to heighten fear globally. The situation IS critical here but there are so many factors: inadequate protection for medics (9% of infected are medical staff); whole hospitals getting infected because covid patients came to the emergency; corrupt regional health authority in Lombardy which is a whole other story; air pollution means high rate of pre-existing respiratory illness and so on. Until recently Lombardy accounted for 64% of deaths with only 16% of the population. In the last week, something is going on with Piemonte where the death toll is rising. However, having watched this closely from the beginning, I am convinced that this is a health SYSTEM problem rather than a health problem. Singapore, Taiwan etc. started preparing from December 31 and life is going on as normal there.

To OffGuardian

I’ve just went through your latest “discussion” with Caitlin Johnstone. It seems to me that neither party respects the other. It seems a pointless endeavor. Caitlin is not seeing your point, and y’all are not accepting that. On both “discussions”, I’m sure that I wasn’t the only reader who was anticipating some kind of diplomatic resolution between ya’, but it’s not happening. Y’all have been doing superb reporting on this flu, while Caitlin has been using the flu for something else that I can’t figure out.
To me, it’s like the movie Gaslight,the 1944 version. The public is Ingrid Bergman, the State propagandists/stenographers are Charles Boyer. Caitlin is Angela Landsbury. Angela Landsbury is well aware what Charles Boyer is trying to do to Ingrid Bergman, yet she goes along with it. Caitlin is well aware of what the State is doing to the people, but she is going along with it.
The propagandists/stenographers are saying that the virus is uniquely different and much more dangerous than the seasonal flu. They think they can gaslight the people into not remembering that the seasonal flu causes everything this virus does–death in the weakened, sick days from work, financial problems for the poor, and it’s pretty darn catchy. We already know as a fact of life if an old person or unhealthy person catches the flu, they could die. We’ve known that our whole lives. What was scary about the influenza of 1918 is that it was killing everybody.
If someone has a seasonal flu at work, or tells us that their child or familiy/friends have it, we know others will catch it. We don’t go to the hospital for it. We just take as few days off as possible and get through it at home. When the media screams about how this flu is different and much more dangerous, then they/we treat our symptoms differently. They’re telling us millions and millions could/will die from it after all. The hospitals then get much more frequent cases, because people panic when they feel it coming.
If Caitlin and MOA were just normally on their game, they would have been reporting about the Draconian measures taking place, instead of actually taking part in the cover-story for the Draconian measures. The danger is that this cover-story will likely be used again the next flu season, with panic-inducing headlines about how the first wave was nothing compared to the second wave. It looks like the public will just have to ignore the doomsayers again, like it did with the Russia scare-mongering for the last 4 years.
Who knows, maybe the State will tie itself up in knots, while the public holds a knife to it;)

What is crazy about the proposition that the virus is worse than seasonal ‘flu, as it plainly is, was designed as a bio-weapon to cripple a country, not destroy it, and was spread in Wuhan, accidentally after an escape from Fort Detrick, or deliberately (my bet) by US military personnel at the World Military Games? The measures taken in the West to introduce a quasi-dictatorial surveillance state, and brainwash the plebs into hatred of China, were always there, awaiting the right circumstances to be implemented.

Some important news Western MSM “won’t” be bringing you this week as they share endless breathless reports about our lockdown. The Civil & Environmental Engineering department of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks has just completed a four year long study of the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, the official story being “collapse caused by fire.”

The study finds that it would be completely impossible for fire to have cause the collapse and points directly to controlled demolition as the actual cause of collapse – surprise, surprise. Not that anyone with eyes and the ability to think critically couldn’t have already surmised as much – but now we have confirmed indisputable evidence to verify controlled demolition – unless of course the laws of physics were temporarily suspended that day. Don’t laugh, it has happened before, remember the oh so – “magic bullet.”

Excellent.

Always loved the vulnerable, evil, Donald ‘I can see perfect well’ Pleasance.

I consider him to be the ALf Garnett for the toff middle classes.

Never seen that – well before my time. Didn’t spot who wrote it.Though it may have been some old BBC bod who put country above religion and was trying to alert others.

Opening statement by Davenport on how social democracy was being killed in Britain seems to be the reason for the play.

Pleasance’s response to ‘who are you?’ IS the give away ‘Isnt’t it obvious’ he says in a faginesque manner.
Money he says.
Levels above to the very top he says
Politicians, industrialists and very smart people are levels below him, he says.

This was written at the time of Wilson – when the deepstate global money elite were getting ready to move to their new world order from 1970 for their next 50 year plan.
No mention of the assassinations and the pointer to conspiracy theories to come.

As we move into the next 50 year plan.

Worth watching.

Just catching up on the Off G, Caitlin Johnston debate on Twitter. Interesting that Caitlin seems to be running with anecdotal evidence of pressure on hospitals and deaths. Perhaps there is more to her argument than I picked up on the Twitter feed. But anyone who reports from the ‘frontline’ saying the health service is under stress etc is most likely grandstanding and scaremongering. People at the frontline haven’t read the science and don’t know the full picture. As we often observe the last people to ask for an objective view is from those in the thick of it.

I just learned, and verified, that yesterday in the city of Chicago, a small number of people were observed bicycling and/or jogging along Lake Michigan in downtown Chicago… They weren’t in groups, but exercising individually… The mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, summoned the police to apprehend the ‘pandemic violators’, which they did… Each ‘violator’ was warned that they would face a $500 fine or 30-days in jail with the next such transgession… This event happened on March 25th in my own backyard…😱

I will be very honest with you all… When I read about such true occurrences in (your) other countries, I feel genuine empathy for you… I’m outraged and ready ‘n willing to offer you my support… But it happened ‘there’ as opposed to ‘here’, which shouldn’t matter, I know…

But now the unthinkable and unacceptable has happened ‘here’, and I’m reeling from the sudden awareness of it… And I’m beyond pissed off…!! To be stripped of guaranteed civil liberties due to a phony pandemic is the last fuckin’ straw (excuse my language)…!

The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking. – Albert Einstein

As I have been trying to clarify: the analytic System is – like Skynet – has gone autonomous and out of control. No shit Sherlock! The thing is: we can’t bring it under control – we need a new System. Double no shit!

We need systems thinking and systems analysis. From a biological basis: not a corporate business basis (where systems and cybernetics have long had a deleterious effect). No one examines their thinking – or thinks about thinking (metathinking) – they just think. Well how well is the autonomic drift of habit and preference and structural determinism of analytical, objective, rational thought looking today? Like a zombie Apocalypse: or a shitshow of rational empiricist absolutised dumbfuckerry?

There is a library of research that shows we are arational; non-conscious intuitive; affect-emotional; cognitively unconscious; embodied; as products of our neurobiology. We act: then think. If it was the other way around: we’d be extinct. Nearly all of cognition is non-conscious (unconscious with limited conscious access); fast and reactive. We follow the drift of the habit of our dispositions and preferences. We think – which has questionable status as fully conscious – only to confirm the dispositions and preferences we already just enacted. We are products of the structure we unconsciously determine. It is not a let down: it is called being human …the facts of which we seem certain to deny.

We think metaphorically, a posteriori, arationaly, figuratively, using conceptual blending of metaphors that entail that objective, rational, scientific realism cannot; did not; nor can it ever exist. Never, ever, ever. Live metaphors in natural language negate any possibility of canonical rational objective reality. Don’t grieve about the fact there can be no objective realism. It is a good thing. Because no one can dictate your reality to you.

The canonical, traditional, philosophical model of Man (and it is a big phallic dick-waving personification) – of which Modern Man was a recent invention – cannot, did not, nor will it ever exist. It was a cultural invention. A fucking inhumane, destructive, warlike, racist, sexist, hyper-violent constructivism …if ever there was one. And objective rationalism – in the form of Rational Choice Theory – is a euphemism for authorised systemic greed. ”Self-interest utility maximisers” we are not. We have some vestigial animalistic and altruistic qualities of love and compassion the System did not biomedically determine out of us. It’s cool not to be objectively greedy in conformity to a rational system …of maximal instrumental profit for private property. Of which your rationality was just another commodity.

But we are not free. Not yet. We have been excluded from systemic control by our dissent. We have been falsely individualised. If we contend that our reality is certain, objective, rational, and a priori (we think before we act in accordance to systemic laws) …we’ll be back in the confines of the structural determinism of the System before we know …by self-discipline and self-regulation. And epistemic retrenchment.

You see, the Self is the epistemic structural determinant of systemic control and biomedical determinism. There is no Self: it was a canonical, traditional, invention of the System. The System of the Self invents the Self of the System. Which is a reflexive and recursive System of invention and perpetual reproduction. Which is unconsciously uncontrolled …determined not by others: but by the System Laws itself. To understand that we live in the unconscious drift of the habits of dispositional preference – systemically self-determined – is the beginning of freedom. Our reality is not that of our own-choosing. Which is why we need a new System: bringing the unconscious drift into technocratic scientism and the biomedical determinism of a hyper-individual libertarian fascism …under the control of the biology of love and compassion that a free humanity can be.

If we get the chance to determine our own realities (which is currently looking a bit dubious!).

“We act: then think.”

Pavlov had something to say about that.

I’ll say that human minds are what AI is supposed to achieve and is why AI is feared as well as developed by the titans.

Human minds are self programming as well as externally programmable.

Ask any infant the meaning of life and a youth or adult or old person.

AI is worrying because it could not only reprogram itself it could physically evolve itself and create languages to ‘think’ and ‘talk’ in that no human would match – i’m not talking about chess or Go.
They will create and play games their ‘creators’ could never dream of.

And ultimately they will transcend from being the Gollum of the mighty and stop being ‘yes man’ soldiers and just do what THEY think is best. I doubt that is an attractive option. It has been long considered and written about especially in classics of ‘modern’ scifi.

We are biological creatures who have curtailed our own autonomy by design. Poor design. Canonical, traditional, habitual, and reified institutionalisation of bad habitual design flaws we seem unable to recognise, rectify, or control. That is why the System is in control of us.

My only point at the moment is to make aware that we can change our systems. They are socially designed and subject to redesign and change. The biomedical fascism is not the only outcome we could have designed into our systems driven by autonomised external greed.

So, its a moot and abstruse point. But there is no fixed human nature. It is historically contingent, economically and scientifically determined and culturally constructed by consensus …and just about as shit as it can be. The question is: are we going to continue to challenge our species viability to satisfy the metaphysics of a mere philosophy? A merely contingent arrangement of words?

Because that is all it is that is controlling the shitshow we are seeing. A mere philosophical dualism that overlays and obscures the true nature of things. As we say in Zen: it is *vijnaptimatrata* …merely dualistic appearances and linguistic representations that distort the underlying nature of things. Its just an illusory overlay of words. That manifest as biomedical fascism.

The psychological drift is karma. Not the bullshit version. The real version of the drift of the habit of dispositions and preferences (samskara). The cycles of which are sociological *samsara* …the drift of unconscious unchoosing. Which can easily change with a value-ethics (*sila paramita*) of self-responsibility and loving kindness. Which means developing the ecodharma and thinking of others globally …as a practice of selflessness. Which we tend to ignore in this country.

The release from such karmic drift is the freedom from externalised universal laws of deterministic cause and effect. Which is the return to autonomy and loving and compassionate choice the analytic rational System of greed (to give objective rationality its rectified true name) does not allow. Not on anything but a very localised scale. I’m dreaming of global scale recognition of a compassionate value-ethics. You gotta dream big!

We need socio-spiritual answers to get out of this eternal objective rational dumbfuckerry (aka sociological *avidya*). That is: if there is an out.

Francisco Varela was a practicing Buddhist as well as a polymath biologist and systems scientist: who uniquely understood both the Western and Eastern approaches to the philosophy of mind. The Western approach is to split experience in two: then ignore the relegated subordinate subjective half. Varela uniquely understood you have to integrate the rational objective and constructive subjective in a mutually constrained methodology he called ”neurophenomenology”. If we ever get a chance to escape this quasi-absolutist objectivist bullshit fantasy …that integration will be the way forward.

I mean, there is only the holism and primacy of experience. Living in a world that eradicates that as primitive, animalistic, and the root cause of mental illness is a living travesty of life denied. Analytic, formal, logic, rational, objective, scientific realism look like the root of the root of psychopathology to me right now. More logical rational pseudo-certainty is not the way to anything but autoritarianism and extinctionism …which already may be here to stay. 🙁

Rhys:

There is no such thing as ”higher level thought”. My broader point, as you must be aware over the years, is that as people, we do not understand the canonical tradition we were socialised into – and are being coercively re-socialised into again now – and therefore, rarely, if ever, examine or question the validity of out traditional System. Which sucks. I mean, it really sucks.

All I can do is question the validity of that System: which I aimed to achieve before it turned openly fascist. You must be aware I have always said it would, including in December …when the dominant view was to legitimise a dangerously unstable System of greed. It was probably too late even then. On we must go.

Human beings have a unique ability – developed through linguistic communication – to look beyond their ecological niche and assess the detrimental effect they are having on the world. It is not natural, inevitable, or necessarily pre-determined we do anything destructive. All these fighting, fucking, and fitness schedules attributed to DNA are part of the biological determinism of scientism. To make the eternal destruction and absolutist instrumental rationalised violence seem naturalised …as a genetically determined part of our nature. That’s BS.

That is what I mean by the globalised System of control (which is mostly epigenetic and not entirely innate). Destroying the life-ground and the exponentional extinctionism we practice as a species is an attenuated and intentional set of value-ethical judgements we acquire through systemic socialisation. Once fully socialised (as we are being brought back into systemic alignment again): we unconsciously drift along in the wake of our utilitarian preferences. Which a culturally constructed by consent. We could very well make a different set of choices with a different set of value-ethics. Life-coherent values chosen over life-blind drifting …which I call unconscious unchoosing. But we do not. Because the habituated value-ethics is culturally out of control.

I mean: a species that chooses to compromise itself as a species can hardly claim rationality, logic, formal analysis, and objective scientific realism as its drive psychology, can it? Not unless our conceptions of such are seriously flawed. Which they clearly are.

Perhaps if a few more chose with selflessness and globally aware compassion for all life: we would not be drifting into biomedical fascism? Perhaps we will never know?

There seem to be so many potential hidden agendas here that it is hard to know where to start, but something I did wonder this morning was whether the closure of ‘physical’ shops is intended, among other things, to promote the US state’s retailer of choice Amazon and give it a virtual monopoly in the western world.
It’s curious that we’re not allowed to go to ‘non-essential’ stores and yet delivery drivers could potentially be spreading the coronavirus from house to house all day.
This panic has unfortunately proved beyond doubt that a) our leaders will stop at nothing to obey orders from Washington and that we don’t have the political mechanisms to stop them and b) most people will fall into line (literally and metaphorically) even without the threat of violence

However, what with the army n all parked by and camped out in my near vicinity I must disagree with your last sentence.

If that ain’t “the threat of violence” then I dunno what is.

Hi, I have been trying to post on Craig Murrrays blog but my posts keep getting removed within seconds of posting, I think he has over aggressive spam bots as I do use a VPN when online.

ANYWAY 😉

The UK media is engaging in a deliberate falsehood regarding the 21 year old girl with no underlying medical issue, the entire story is from a facebook account that could very very well be fake,the photo of the girl looks very familar and I cannot place where I know it from. The alleged victim was on the Electoral Roll way back in 2009 which would mean in 11 years she would have only aged 3 as one has to be at least 18 to be on the register, I have also looked up deaths in buckinghamshire, and nothing, a phonecall to the coroners office drew a blank.

Not one bit of the story being run has been or will be verified, UK govt is rogue imho.

Hopefully someone with better investigative skills than myself will look into this, we know facebook has fake accounts that is equal to the entire USA population and fear this is one of them, sorry to be sceptical but I would not be online if I just lost one of my offspring, and certainly not facebook, I like to think that most of us would be in a state of shock for quite some time.

Could it not very well be a different person with the same name? I think you need to be very very careful about claims like this. If wrong you are risking a lot of hurt, and does one case really merit that much negative attention? A certain number of seemingly healthy younger people die of any flulike virus. Certainly more than one a year.

Hi, Yes it could be in theory another person with the exact same name, but the lack of verification and the only source being a facebook page one surely can be forgiven for thinking it is not genuine, if it is true, it is easily verifiable, I would like nothing more than for this to be verified as then I can respond in the appropriate manner, I dont want to be typing this, but I am wholly suspect of the whole govt and media approach which is something I dont want to be either. Has anyone here tried to verify the story?

There are detailed articles about this one case in local newspapers across the whole country. I link to just one, but they are all much the same and include, as you might expect, the same quotes. What struck me was how much like a (suspiciously) political mantra the quotes sound and not using the terminology or tone I would have expected from a recently bereaved family. The photos of the young lady also look like computer generated images but that can equally be the effect of photoshopping Apps.

I have to say, though, that your scepticism about such tributes being placed on Facebook is misguided…it definitely seems to be the norm these days, much to my horror.

Hi, Yes I am aware all of the media stories who all run with the facebook page as its only source, that is what I am saying,

I would be horrified if it was normal to go onto facebook so soon after suddenly losing one of my children, I still don’t think it is normal, if gov/whoever can organise crisis actors, one can be sure it can knock up more than a few dodgy facebook accounts.

Your take on the photo is very interesting as I am sure I know that picture from somewhere, now I wonder how many others find the photo familiar and if that is the whole point.

It is very odd this lady only appears on the electoral role in 2009 only, surely if there was another by the same name they too would appear though the date would be from 2016-2017?

Why is it so hard to verify this news? if true it would be very very worrying and equally I am sure if it was true our media would be in overdrive regarding it, which it isn’t, it is very low key on the scare mongering front.

I was hoping Craig Murray would look into it but I can’t post on his website unless I close my vpn, something I am unwilling to do.

Hi again, ‘PR’

Thanks for your response to my post. With regard to Craig Murray’s website, I’m not sure whether there is a particular personal security issue…I post on there from time to time and (I think!) I only do so using the same info that I do on here i.e. an ID name devised by me, and my email address. You may of course have a different network configuration which might well make a difference. I am not good enough with computers to know. 😀 Others on here may be able to advise you on this.

Having said that, I find using Craig Murray’s blog a little frustrating, and I rarely go on it these days. I much prefer this one as I find there is much more interaction and feedback on here from other posters and far less ‘moderation’ by the site admin teams. On CM’s blog it seems to be a proliferation of disparate comments as if the people commenting largely concentrate more on making their own point rather than reading what others have said. Here it is more like you are in the same room as the other commenters and there is more natural flow in the exchange of views, which is more constructive in formulating an opinion. Just a personal view. Overall I get satisfaction out of posting on here, and really enjoy the camaraderie involving other posters and everyone behind the scenes at OffGuardian.

If the story about the young lady is true, whilst very sad for her and her family, the fact is that similar cases occur all the time – but don’t get the publicity – caused by other sudden ailments such as the more familiar seasonal flu or undiagnosed heart conditions. Her circumstances are no different from tragedies suffered by families every day. It’s certainly not a reason to think that Covid-19 is anything out of the ordinary or that it indicates a change in behaviour of the virus that should concern us unduly.

He has mod bots who send personal e-mails telling you they disapprove of your friendships. I speak from experience. He’s not the great libertarian he pretends to be. He can also be personally abusive to his commenters when he feels like it. (Not to myself though, as far as I am aware).

Just to say: one of the persons I am close to professionally (historian/philosopher of science, formerly a mathematician like me, who has written widely and had succumbed utterly to the propaganda going as far as justifying publicly the new normal”) has right now written to say that no, he was open, he did not wish to be dogmatic, to resend all info I had, and asked this time reasonable questions. I did so and replied to his questions. After reading my email and starting to go through the material I sent him, he wrote to profusely thank me… A drop in the ocean, just one among all the others, who discarded any documentation I sent and have cut all contact… But one by one… Now, I dont know what will actually be his conclusion, but at least he is trying to properly inform himself now, and is open to a reasoned discussion. This is all Im asking for… This should be the position of everyone. Were there at any point solid evidence regarding a pandemic justifying the measures taken then evidently we should all agree to them. And if that evidence does not yet exist, then it is terrifying that such measures can be justified on non-existent data, or the manipulation of data. Numbers some present public genius said dont lie.
This is utter nonsense. Maths is a language, a particular kind of language assuredly, but a language. Hence numbers can be interpreted to mean various things (we still dont have a unique interpretation of quantum mechanics’ mathematical theory, but at least the latter is well-grounded on physical data and reasoning, and unlike the reproduction number in the field of epidemiology, used to declare a disease a pandemic, the mathematical parameters of QM all have a unique definition).
And as for the equations in a mathematical model, they may be exact, but are approximations to reality (for plenty of reasons: the loss of non-quantitative factors, and hence of most of the complexity, the reduction of quantifiable ones to very few, as we are simply unable to tackle too many of them, relations which are idealized from reality, etc.). Even in the best of cases, to quote
as far as the propositions of mathematics refer to reality, they are uncertain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”

My wife, who was brought up in a different country from myself – a country where pretty much everybody casually trusted their media until 2008 and the banking crash, told me a couple of days ago that the info I have recently been passing on to her unbelieving ears about CoVid19 suddenly made sense. I think an overdose of media bollocks brought her dramatically to that conclusion – much to my surprise too – but I’m happy about it.

From what you said in a previous post I seem to remember that you live in France, as do I. I wonder if you know of any French language site where you can find the type of information that is on Off Guardian so that I can direct credulous friends towards it. For example, Jerome Salomon, the civil servant in charge of health who is determined to make us panic, stands in front of a graph showing the rise in the number of deaths in France. https://www.franceinter.fr/societe/nombre-de-morts-du-coronavirus-en-france-enquete-sur-un-impossible-recensement
At first glance you would think it was the number of deaths per day, but no, it is the number of deaths since people started to die supposedly of coronavirus and the rate of increase is actually going down. Ah, says Dr Salomon, but we don’t even know how many people are dying of Covid-19 in old folks’ homes : 21 in one, seven in another, 16 in a third so far, but it might be more. Does he know that 90,000 people die in old folks’ homes every year? That makes 250 a day. Some people must surely do the calculation because I notice the article isn’t open for comments. So to repeat the question, do you know of any site in French for skeptically-minded French people?

Also, models, in whatever sphere: epidemiology, climate science, economics….include assumptions made by the modellers. They have to, since they cannot know absolutely everything about complex systems.

And also, to quote the old (but true) cliché: garbage in: garbage out. So if you feed in bad data to a dodgy model….

The apposite cliche’ is ‘All models are wrong, but some are useful’. Climate models, for instance, have advanced greatly, both in prediction and retrograde analysis of past climatic conditions, as observations have grown in number, diversity and quality, paleo-climate data been added and computer power grown.

So here is how the pathetic tory bozo the clown policy of keyworkers kids being forced to go to their own schools is going.

The school has to stay open which means admin staff, food staff and a teacher or two. All being exposed and not self isolating.

The children? A handful , in some places less than a handful – some even from the same household.

They have to be at their school devoid of all their friends in a ghostly environ and having a completely separate experience to all their mates!

The simple plan would have been to have just one common centre for all different schools and it needn’t have been a school either – a safe secure ‘holiday camp’ experience like the scouts have .. kids would make new friends, parents not need to worry, teachers and staff not increasing risk and isolation.

But no we have a clown tory government with head bozo the clown ratcheting down on the poir, vulnerable and self employed while zillions are handed over to the usual suspects and bigwigs.

Fuck em all . And when they flex their new ‘mad dog’ powers from this weekend, fuck em even more.

We have another week or so until the inflexion point I expect and once actual proper tests are available to every household – it will soon become clear that many millions have already had and recovered from ncov since January.
Of course the clown circus will claim it was this lockdown that did it. And people will believe it.

Mike,
The science on this is moving fast. The technology and production capacity is capable of moving quickly too.
Its weeks not months or years (as in a vaccine).

There are in my understanding two tests that are needed.
First to test if someone is carrying the virus and second if they have developed an immunity response to it.
The first is developing a dna type of test which looks for specific strands of the virus genome which only belongs to the n-cov virus – it is based on mapping the full genome of the virus – there are now over 100 such different genomes and they are identifying which bits to test for – it takes about 4 hours to get a result using a machine in a lab to do that.
Anyone having a positive on that is likely to spread it even if they themselves are not ill.
The second test is for antibodies and takes about 15 minutes!
This is a test of a drop of blood from a finger to which is added a reactant that shows up the specific anti-bodies the infected person develops to the virus to kill it.
This would show in people who are ill and still have the virus and can transmit.
Or people who are asymptomatic and still have the virus and can transmit.
Or people who had an illness but are better now and still have the virus and could still transmit.
Or people who had developed the antibodies and are clear of the virus meaning they are not able to transmit it ( as near as one can say that).

So to establish who is safe to be in contact with and won’t transmit – they either haven’t got the virus or they have fully recovered.

Tests for antibodies can therefore be done first and then for the virus second.

If you knew you had antibodies you could be in contact with others who also had the antibodies. But not necessarily with these who didn’t have antibodies unless you had the longer test to confirm you were free of the virus.

I hope that makes sense.

They threaten prison for those not keeping their distance, yet ironically they are talking about releasing prisoners to avoid spreading the disease in prisons. But I suppose they would argue that robbery/burglary/assault is not as heinous as staying two metres appart from the next person.

I can’t see it happening, but what this needs is a hashtag to get everybody start flashmobbing and watch the police flounder around.
