Good on you for calling it the Rona!
Calling it the C-19 word gives it way too much power for something with this low a fatality rate...Let's save those big fancy scientific terms for when/if we actually have the Spanish Flu 2.0 or even an Armageddon-level plague...

This Italian doctor says COVID-19 means the “Certificate of Vaccination Identification with artificial intelligence.” (microchips)

It is not the name of the virus - it is rather the name of the international plan for the control and reduction of populations.
It will be used to identify whether a person has been vaccinated in order to receive benefits from the State.

Is NZ the only country outside of China that's doing that?
And has there been much reporting of what these managed virus detention centres look like?

Scarier version is if numbers of infected ever increase, the state of these detention centres could start to resemble prisons more...Especially if NZ keeps up the end of the world narrative...

Okay, it appears I misunderstood something you said here.
But I was following on the previous trust in authorities you've exhibited in this whole virus saga all along.

I just don't trust the whole narrative mate - and altho my opinion was an extreme minority back in March when lockdowns began, more and more skeptics are now coming to the party...

message 819: by James, Group Founder (new)

James Morcan | 11378 comments So i wouldn't discount a reclassification of old flu that's always existed. Especially as keep in mind the vast majority of flu cases, even in the incidences where people die of flu, were not tested in the lab, but were rather labelled under the ambiguous ILI (which from memory stands for Influenza Like Illness)... And so it's interesting that even the media reports now that this new virus has Influenza-like symptoms...

Yes, but there were some restrictions, and of course they are back more fully. The point I was making is maybe we are more alert to how infection arises, like better hygiene and keeping away from people where reasonable. Another point is that flu for the season tends to arrive with visitors, and we quarantine our visitors, which should also lead to fewer flu opportunities. Life here this winter is somewhat different from the average winter.

Am aware of those points, and you can certainly formulate an argument in that direction...but I posted an article earlier in this thread which showed Influenza is down by 95% in NZ and 85% in Australia this year. Enormous drops especially as both nations had very few restrictions still in place by early winter...

Anyway, this is what I referring to earlier...

Influenza-like illness is a nonspecific respiratory illness characterized by fever, fatigue, cough, and other symptoms that stop within a few days. Most cases of ILI are caused not by influenza but by other viruses (e.g., rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, human respiratory syncytial virus, adenoviruses, and human parainfluenza viruses). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influen...

You can take extra care with washing hands and not scratching your nose when there is a pandemic about without having been dirty before.

James Morcan | 11378 comments UK lockdown was a ‘monumental mistake’ and must not happen again – Boris scientist says https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/...
LOCKDOWN will come to be seen as a "monumental mistake on a global scale" and must never happen again, a scientist who advises the Government on infectious diseases says.

Prof Woolhouse OBE, a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours that advises the Government, said: “Lockdown was a panic measure and I believe history will say trying to control Covid-19 through lockdown was a monumental mistake on a global scale, the cure was worse than the disease.

“I never want to see national lockdown again. It was always a temporary measure that simply delayed the stage of the epidemic we see now. It was never going to change anything fundamentally, however low we drove down the number of cases, and now we know more about the virus and how to track it we should not be in this position again."

message 828: by [deleted user] (new)

As the great Sherlock Holmes said, ‘When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.’ This is why I’m interested in what the conspiracy theorists have to say about the issues surrounding coronavirus. For me, the official narrative simply doesn’t add up.

My scepticism began back in February/ March when our UK news was full of horror stories about outbreaks on cruise ships. The media were clearly expecting a field day in terms of deaths. This didn’t happen. Even on the Diamond Princess, which I gather was the worst affected vessel, the death toll only reached 14, equating to about 1/200 of the total number of passengers. Yes, a very nasty virus, but certainly not the Black Death, the bubonic plague or the Spanish flu. And we’re talking about a ship mostly full of pensioners, here – the most vulnerable group in society. Needless to say, the media quickly lost interest in the story.

My second wave of scepticism (excuse the pun), came when countries started to announce lockdown. Now, I’m not saying that Western governments are all sweetness and light, but I don’t believe they intentionally go out to kill people for the sake of it. That said, they have never shied away from ‘collateral damage’ to achieve what they see as the greater good. Recent UK examples of this government mindset include the Iraq War, the bombing of Libya and a decade of economic austerity. So why, I asked myself, would they risk damaging their societies and destroying their economies for a virus like this?

I thought it obvious at the time that more people would suffer and die over the coming months and years from the economic fallout, mental health issues and neglect of diseases like cancer, caused by lockdown, than were ever going to die of coronavirus, so why did the world’s governments pursue this policy en masse?

Was it to save their underfunded health services? Possibly, but that wouldn’t explain why countries with well-funded models like Germany adopted the policy. Was it the madness of crowds; a sort of 21st century ‘Tulipomania’? Surely not; governments contain and are advised by the world’s finest minds. At a loss to explain it, I questioned who had the most to gain by lockdown and the answer was crystal clear: the major pharmaceutical companies and big tech.

I’ve no idea whether these powerful groups ordered lockdown, lobbied for it or were simply innocent bystanders who benefited from it – I’m not on personal terms with Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos et al, and I’ll never know.

Anyway, fast forward 6 months. Where do matters stand in the UK now? The official death toll is about 40,000. That’s half the number of people who died in the 1968-9 winter flu epidemic and just over double the number who die annually from more serious outbreaks of flu nowadays. Of course, this figure includes people who died with the virus and not necessarily of it. It also includes an unknown number of people who were never given a post-mortem. Therefore, we have no idea of the real figure.

Whatever it is, would it have been higher if we hadn’t locked down? Considering the nature of infectious diseases, it probably would have been, but it was never going to be off the scale. Much as the media might have wanted this to be some sort of Biblical plague, from the moment we saw what happened onboard those cruise ships, it was never going to be the case.

Britain aside, I’ve believed all along that one of the acid tests as to the severity of coronavirus is how it affects less prosperous areas of the globe. If this virus is as bad as we’ve been told then surely it would have decimated Indian shanty towns and certain areas of Africa? Unless the media are choosing to ignore this, which I very much doubt, it appears not to have happened. There are reports of huge numbers of cases, yes, but not a peep about the death toll. All in all, I think these poor people have more to worry about.

Back to the UK, and we’ve now moved on to the debate about regional lockdowns and face masks. But, as these are new chapters in this strange saga, I’ll leave them for another day.

Nice analysis Beau - and I think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head: 'cui bono' - i.e always follow the money and see where it leads. In this case, straight to Big Pharma (and Bill Gates) who are going to make billions out of the vaccination programs.
That leads us to why all the governments in the civilised world are in cahoots with all this? Bribery? Corruption? Blackmail?

message 831: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks, Anni. I have to be honest; I’m still making up my mind about governments’ motives. I can’t work out if this is initial incompetence followed by an attempt to limit the damage to their reputations, fear of being seen to be callous by the media, or part of some grand plan. What do you think?

And thanks for starting up this group, James. I’m appalled by what’s happening in Melbourne. Our own mainstream media has very little to say about it. In fact, the impression I get from them is that most Victorians are just accepting the situation. I see that you live in (comparatively nearby) Sydney. Can you enlighten me? Generally, what is the Aussie on the street saying about all this? Are protests in Victoria more widespread than we’re being led to believe, here in the UK?

At the moment, 2 things are of particular interest to me.

The first is the role of the media, and I see this concerns you too.
The UK media like to regard themselves as the best in the world. They take a pride in their fierce independence and determination to uncover the truth. Yet, on this most contentious of issues, all they can do is parrot the ‘party line’.

In fact, I am aware of only 1 single mainstream journalist who has consistently argued against the perceived threat of coronavirus: Peter Hitchens.

Hitchens is a conservative (with a small ‘c’) libertarian. In the beginning, he was ridiculed by most other commentators, but a few others are now sticking their heads above the parapet and coming around to his way of thinking.

As far as I can see, this extraordinary lack of media scrutiny can be explained in 1 of 3 ways:

1. There is no doubt that coronavirus is as deadly as the world’s governments claim it is and anyone questioning this is a fool. (I explain why I don’t believe this to be the case in my first post.)

2. Mainstream journalism is, contrary to how it perceives itself, grossly incompetent. As the standards of many other professions have dramatically fallen in recent years, this could well be the case.

3. The media are being leant on. It’s easy to envisage a scenario where exceptionally powerful people, with vested interests, lean on media moguls. They, in turn, lean on editors who lean on their journalists. I find this the most plausible argument.

The second point of interest for me is the public’s reaction to the coronavirus restrictions and how this bodes for the future.

There are clearly many people who believe that the virus is a huge threat to society and act accordingly. It is logical for them to obey, and support, the various restrictions.

It is equally obvious that many other people are sceptical. At the moment, I would suggest the bulk of this group simply can’t be bothered to protest. They have their own lives to lead and don’t feel passionately enough about the situation to confront the authorities and risk trouble.

But what if they did? What if the restrictions are notched up another level? Here lies the million-dollar question.

Technically establishments can make their rules and I don't think there's any legality to stop them. I could refuse to wear a mask, but then what? I get into a fight with an employee and a video of me is shared with millions of people? Not worth the risk to me.

But Joey B. wants us to wear them everywhere, outside. That's where I draw the line and if that edict comes to pass I will flout it.

I reckon your first point about the Government motive (certainly here in the U.K.) is correct - being one of damage limitation to their reputation, after their initial complete bungling of the situation. Ironically however, the public’s faith in their judgement is collapsing by the day, along with trust in the medical establishment who are also to blame. The MSM and BBC lost their reputation ages ago.

I see exactly where you're coming from, Scott. I feel the same way.

I don't believe there is widespread support for masks in the UK. One only had to visit shops in the days after the mask rule was introduced, but before it came into force, to see this. In my local city, I would say that no more than 1 in 10 people wore them in shops, at that time. Now it is near-total compliance. Unless everyone has had a 'Road to Damascus' moment, this is clearly to avoid a fine and confrontation with staff.

That said, I haven't met anyone (who isn't a mask enthusiast) who says they are willing to wear one outdoors. I can't see how they would ever police it.

I know we hear about countries like Spain, where they've enforced the rule, but I imagine there's little compliance outside of the main metropolitan shopping areas. Of course, the TV pictures don't show this but they wouldn't, would they?

My main personal concern is that we follow the US and enforce masks in gyms. That is when I will get annoyed. Minor inconvenience is one thing but messing up your own health for questionable science is another. Fortunately, at the moment, common sense seems to prevail.

Anni, I really hope you're right. Although forming policy to hide initial bungling is terrible at so many levels, I actually think it is a preferable scenario to the idea of a grand plan. That thought frightens me.

By the way, I love your Yeats quote. I'd never seen it before. I think it's pretty apt for today's world. It's a good lesson in being moderate and one of the reasons I choose not to go on social media. Goodreads is far more civilised :)

There is a popular walking trail near my house that I try to get out on every day if the weather is temperate. For a while there were signs telling people to stay six feet apart "or the trail will be closed." Occasionally I have seen police going up and down the trail on bikes and a couple times even in their car. Sure, they can't be everywhere but I could see them trying.

Most of the people I see out walking do not wear masks and the ones who do wear a mask are usually elderly people. It kills me inside to see little kids running around with masks. I had to unfollow a close friend because she kept posting pictures of her 9 year-old daughter outside with a mask. She thinks they are cute. I find them sad.

Totally agree, Scott. I was (mask-free) in my local shopping precinct today without anyone bothering or even giving me a second glance.
I had my exemption card ready in my pocket, but it wasn't needed. And yet I saw sad individuals sitting on benches outside in glorious sunshine wearing masks. They look so pathetic and browbeaten with fear, I can't bear to look at them. What a terrible pass we have come to!

On a lighter note, thought I'd quickly share a story with you about something that just happened to my little sister. It certainly brings into question how seriously some shop staff are taking the mask rule and the perceived threat of coronavirus.

It's my sister's day off and she's just visited a supermarket to buy alcohol. She told me that she was asked to provide ID, which she was very pleased about because she's 36. Unfortunately, she didn't have any, so the shopkeeper asked her to remove her face mask so he could better judge her age.

Brilliant!

Matt Hancock has refused to rule out a second lockdown, despite assurances by the prime minister.

The health secretary said the government’s aim was to “avoid having to do anything more drastic by people following the rules”, but he told LBC he would not rule out a return to lockdown, saying: “I wouldn't make a vow like that.”

He also appeared to suggest a ban on gatherings of more than six people in England from Monday could last until Christmas.
