It is a fact that implementing universal “quarantines” for healthy people has never been done. If it has been done, it has been on a small scale in places that are easily forgotten. This means there is no science behind it. Given that there is no science behind it, one would think “scientists” would be eager to find out if this idea works, with “works” defined as there being an obvious correlation between the policy chosen and the desired result, which is lower overall death across all time domains from all causes.
Logically, high lockdown, high mask wearing ought to be obvious on a map of COVID-19 severity. If you were to shade countries by death rates, figured as honestly reported deaths from COVID-19 divided by population, then the “good” nations–the ones putting everyone on house arrest and mandating mouth diapers as a precondition for any social contact whatsoever–should jump out as GREEN GREEN GREEN. The nations making everything voluntary, where most people do not wear masks, where the kids are still in school and the bars and restaurants open should be RED RED RED, oh the humanity, oh the horror!!
But of course 9 months–which is about where we are at–is enough to do that drill. The USA is by far the worst, for a variety of reasons. We are fat and unhealthy, in a world where death rates seem to correlated to overall national health. The numbers are being vastly and inexcusably overreported, and if reported honestly are in reality perhaps between a third and half those being touted by illegitimate and dishonest health prostitutes. None of our leaders are recommending the basic and obvious step of at least Vitamin D supplementation now, and generous quantities of zinc and Vitamin C at the first sign of symptoms, or even exposure.
Look at Finland: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/fi
408 deaths/5.53 million people. That works out to, if I am carrying the zeros far enough, a death rate of .00007 percent. Let’s simplify it to 500 deaths out of 5,000,000. That is one person in a ten thousand.
Here is their list of restrictions: https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/information-on-coronavirus/current-restrictions
For most of this whole thing most of them were not wearing masks, and very few restrictions existed. I think they reduced restaurant capacity and cancelled some large events, but from what I read they were if anything more lenient than Sweden. And note that their official page says “Government restrictions are not legally binding.”
Here is the UK: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/gb
60,113 deaths/63 million population. Let’s make this simple: 60,000 divided by 60,000,000. If I am moving my zeros correctly that means one person in a thousand has died of this illness. Which is TEN TIMES the death rate in Finland.
Even so, this is not a huge number. This is not a wave of death. But this is still considered a sufficiently serious problem that the nation is on lockdown. They are wrecking the mental health of millions that was in far too many cases tenuous to begin with. They are leaving psychic scars that will last for decades, and in many cases result in suicides and drug overdoses. 1 person in a thousand. That is not a plague. I’m not sure 1 person in a hundred would warrant what is being done.
Australia, and I am seeing a pattern now, is even worse. They have more or less declared martial law. Police can enter people’s homes without warning, just like in 1984, to make sure they are not doing something they are not supposed to do, like have one too many friends over.
Here is their chart: https://covid19.who.int/region/wpro/country/au
908 deaths in a population we will call 25 million. Let’s call it a thousand deaths. 1,000 divided by 25,000,000. If my zero moving is correct, that is one person in 25,000. This is less than half the number of Finland, but they are on full stop. Their government has gone full Nazi, with more or less literal storm troopers breaking down doors if they are not opened fast enough.
For THAT they are on a more oppressive stance than when they were at war–or fearing it–with Japan in World War 2. Unfuckingbelievable.
As I think I mentioned here, I had a dream early on of escaping all this by living on a beach in Tasmania and surfing every day. Well, people did this in reality–this vision became true for some– and they were found out with Orwellian drones, and police dispatched in a helicopter to force them into home incarceration, far from the clean air, ocean surf, and blue skies where they had been.
According to this, there were 163,000 deaths in Australia in 2019: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/deaths-australia/latest-release
That means that in the time not quite a thousand people have died of COVID-19, that 120,000 people (call it 9 months and 75% of a year) have died of other causes, if this is otherwise a normal year.
And there is a HUGE difference in tone and policy between Finland and Australia. In both of these countries COVID-19 deaths amount to background noise statistically, but in one case they kept most or all of their freedoms, did a few things a bit differently, but have otherwise continued with their lives. In the latter case they are being traumatized and oppressed by their government, for what amounts statistically to NOTHING.
Again, this is mass delusional psychosis. It is an atrocity. A human rights assault of historically unprecedented proportions.
Finally, let’s return to our friends the Swedes, who have textbook curves. This is what Farr’s Law looks like. This is what a scientific response looks like: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/se
7,000 deaths in a nation of 10,000,000 or so. 1 person in 1,400. That is lower than the UK.
It is higher than Finland, but as they themselves admit, they failed to keep the thing out of the nursing homes. And they have continued something like normal life through all of this. Few masks and certainly no mask mandate. And I wonder if, in the case of the Finn’s, their national obsession with saunas might not have made a huge difference. I personally think it OBVIOUS that regular use of saunas should have been made a part of our national response. Obviously, no viruses can survive in 200 degree saunas, and even if they were packed full of people the immunity benefits of regular use would easily have outweighed any possible increase in transmission, especially if it were emphasized that even sniffles were not OK.
One or two more. Spain: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/es
46,000 deaths/46,000,000 (close enough): one person in a thousand. Actual population is 47 million and change, so it is a bit lower than that.
France: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/fr
54,000 deaths (rounded up)/67 million. 1 person in 1,240. Higher than Sweden, lower than Spain and the UK.
Last two. Switzerland: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/ch
Switzerland is an interesting one, since they made the disease disappear quickly, and it was attributed to HCQ. But their second wave has been much worse than the first. Why? Was HCQ banned again? Were they told by somebody to improve their numbers since they were making everyone else look like the power grabbing maniacs they actually are? I’ve done some searching, but not come up with any answers. Keep in mind our global information is stored in a card catalog which can be altered infinitely second by second depending on the needs of the Ministry of Information. There could come a day when claiming that the United States won the Second World War will get me fact checked and banned from Facebook for 24 hours. That is the path we are on.
But the math, including the recent and likely inflated wave: 4,732 deaths/8.5 million people works out to one person in 1,796. Not as good as Finland, but much better than most.
Finally, the good old USA, which used to be the land of the free and home of the brave, in the not so distant past: https://covid19.who.int/region/amro/country/us
274,000 deaths, out of a population of 330,000,000: one person in 1,200 has died of this disease, even using the obviously inflated numbers.
Now, we expect about one person in 117 to die each year of something, which is 2.8 million out of 330 million.
How the FUCK can anyone justify what is being done to us over these numbers? Finland did something close to nothing and so did Sweden, and both have better numbers.
You CANNOT look at a map and see ANY correlation between the Nazi score and the health outcome.
This whole thing is madness. Mass delusional psychosis. Fear driven hallucination.
