2- It's an Ill Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XRc389TvG8 So now we know: first, that the UK government is actually deliberately trying to infect over 40 million UK citizens, and in doing so expecting, on their figures, 400,000 deaths. The reason given for this is to develop "herd immunity", where there are so many people who have had the virus that there is nobody for someone who later contracts it to give it to, as everybody has already had it and is immune. But the Chinese didn't do that. They implemented strong containment and stopped the virus dead. They didn't "lessen the peak", they obliterated the peak. There is no reason why we can't do that too. But the Government insists on buying herd immunity at the cost of at least 400,000 (more likely a million [1]) deaths. Why? The question arises, what good would herd immunity, bought at such a terrible cost in deaths, do? The reason given is that the Government believes that COVID-19 will turn into a seasonal disease, and herd immunity might protect us from it's return next year. There are three big problems with that - First, we don't know that it will return at all. Second, if it does return next year, it will have mutated - and like flu, it is likely that the herd immunity, so dearly bought, will not be effective against next year's version, if it happens. There is also concern about people in China who seem to have gotten the disease twice. We don't know why that is, whether it is two different strains of the virus (there are several hundred known varieties of the COVID-19 virus, it mutates fairly rapidly) or people getting the disease twice - however in either case that would lower the usefulness of any herd immunity. So, I don't see why the UK Government are killing 400,000 people. Apparently it isn't because the UK has a large proportion of older people. Older people who need extensive healthcare, expensive pensions, who tie up a lot of wealth and property - of the predicted 400,000 (million) deaths the vast majority would be of older people. This clearing away of unproductive and expensive (and wealthy) older population would more than balance the budget, releasing £10 billion per year in state pensions, £20 billion per year in heathcare costs, and so on. It would stop the disease in the UK fairly quickly, and it would be the cheapest option (ignoring the actuarial but not-real-pounds cost of the deaths). It would release several hundred thousand badly-needed homes (and cause a property price crash; the UK needs about 1 million homes, which is why UK property is so expensive) and would provide a more balanced population pyramid. So for the UK as a nation it would not be a bad thing (ignoring the deaths), and I fear some politicians may think "Hey, it's just the useless oldies, who cares?". But no. There is probably a sensible reason we don't implement strong confinement and stop the virus in its tracks, rather than letting it have its way. Unfortunately I don't know what that reason is. Peter Fairbrother [1] I calculate around a million deaths, but that is a bit of a back-of-the envelope calculation based on known death rates elsewhere and comparative population age spreads. Exact figures also depend on some assumptions about things we do not know about the disease. I have made what I think are reasonable assumptions. I don't know how reasonable the Goverment's assumptions are, or how they came up with the 400,000 figure.

Said skew in age distribution of deaths a quite interesting game regarding herd of geriatric population making up overloaded imbalance across most governments. Then the stories of which moles shook who's global hands. Could result in massive wipeouts and unpredictable political change within such bodies. Already started are post-scourge reworking projects to "stress test" and prepare their own assemblies for next one. This bug hardly nasty enough, seemingly not design or ops limited to governments as Anthrax, and govts already sequestered their dastardly bodies in continuance plans, ready to roll out fresh propaganda when Corona clears. Corona2, will it be the maker of wind, an ill flatulence upon the earth.

Navalny Novichok Poisoning: The (Very Unlikely) Story So Far... https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/navalny-novichok-poisoning-very-unlik... ... - Alexei Navalny has never held any elected office, his political party doesn’t have a single MP in the Duma, and he polls at roughly 2% support with the Russian people. - Despite this, and in the middle of an alleged “pandemic”, Vladimir Putin deems the man a threat and orders him killed. - The State apparatus responsible for unnecessary and seemingly arbitrary acts of political murder decide to use novichok to poison him. - This decision is taken in spite of the facts that a) Novichok totally and utterly failed to work in their alleged murder of the Skripals and b) It has already been widely publicly associated with Russia. - Rather unsurprisingly, the novichok which didn’t kill its alleged target last time, doesn’t kill its alleged target this time either. - Compounding their poor decision making, the Russians not only perform an emergency landing and take Navalny straight to a hospital for medical care. - Despite Navalny being helpless and comatose in a Russian hospital, the powerful state-backed assassination team make no further attempts on his life. - In fact, seemingly determined to under no circumstances successfully kill their intended victim, the Russian government, allow him to leave the country and get medical help from one of the countries which previously accused them of using novichok. - To absolutely no one’s surprise, the Germans claim to have detected novichok in Navalny’s system. - Vladimir Putin and the Russian government are immediately blamed for the attempted murder. ... On and on the bullshit goes, where it stops, nobody knows. I wonder if there's a sportsbook betting tab on whether Navalny was actually poisoned by Novichok? It's an obvious load o' bollox, so I can't imagine anyone taking the "sure it's true, CNN told me!" side of this one... but if you do find such an NPC, it's easy money...

Ever hear the phrase "Not my monkey, not my circus"? It applies here, or at least it should. The point of government is to prevent crime, not tragedy.

Track record of history appears to suggest some fair number of both facts and correlations that governments have not only failed at substantively limiting, but consistently participate in, such things. Perhaps quite to the point of them being moot.

There I must disagree. The point of government is precisely to prevent tragedy.
As in protection against invasion by foreign hordes, or for that matter viruses.
I slightly misspoke - the mission of government is to prosecute crime, not prevent it, because ultimately prevention is impossible. But here we see the problem with your scope of government - everything unfortunate becomes defined as a tragedy, and therefore legitimizes all government intrusion into the private sphere. War, that is, invasion by a foreign power, is a species of crime. Illness is not. Kurt

If that were in fact true, then govts would have to prosecuted themselves out of existance, not least of which for some of their own crimes against humanity below. Government rule... #x: Do not prosecute self. #x: Keep inner DNA workings secret against inspect. #x: Protect self at all costs, including in own hardened bunker-spores. #x: Replicate, distribute, mutate. #x: Broadcast FUD pheromones attracting victims into trap. #x: Insert numbing agents allowing proboscis to suck.

Yes that is one obvious game govts play. And you suckers keep falling for it time after time.
War, that is, invasion by a foreign power, is a species of crime.
Their own govt power is, as often and more, and in many ways, in fact the initiating invader. Stop framing your minds away from that fact.
Illness is not.
Here a lots of illness crimes done by sick government... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_biological_weapons_program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation_in_the_United_... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
Indeed yes, but not in this case.
It is exactly the case. Doesn't matter if govts created virus or not. They're still on TV 24x7 leveraging their propaganda game, FUD trolling for your worship, cutting favoritive licenses over free market competition, etc. Govt plays game for itself to some extent in *every* case. Government is standalone competing entity, a virus, one that you should not let win, lest you succumb.

You suckers? You don't include yourself in the psyops game?

<snip> Focus, man, focus. Yes, biowarfare is real, and has been practiced by governments and individuals. In this case, the evidence isn't there, any more than was evidence in 1918.
Indeed yes, but not in this case.

Let's keep this on target. The US government, at least, did not, and probably the Chinese did not either, absent better evidence, deliberately create the virus or infect anyone. We can take lots of issue with how it's been handled, but we've seen no evidence in this case that the infection is deliberate. Nor do we see, at least in the US (China is up for debate on this point), the government withholding care. Poor planning and execution, yes, and Trump trying to downplay it, yes, and Trump trying to keep proceedings secret, yes, but not much else.
Government is standalone competing entity, a virus, one that you should not let win, lest you succumb.
I don't know how old you are, but I've been studying and teaching freedom for a long, long time. Don't teach grandpa to suck eggs. Kurt

Some of your analysis is OK, but this statement is false. I don't hear of government agents with spray bottles of viral concoctins chasing down their subjects on the streets, or invading their homes, in order to infect them.
Governments murder people all the time, literally on news every day. Doesn't matter whether it's via spy poison dart umbrella, spraying humancide from a lorry in the streets, carpet bombing the "enemy", shooting sleepy people, stealing and starving them to death, etc. Rest assured, if govt has a gameable angle on plague, they're going to leverage it. History full of game examples.

Indeed yes, but not in this case. Accuracy in speech and thought is the desideratum, and Peter failed to meet it. Kurt
