A reasonable article I will share

We need to end this quarantine as soon as possible: https://medium.com/@jbgeach/eight-reasons-to-end-the-lockdowns-as-soon-as-possible-b7bb0bc94f00https://medium.com/@jbgeach/eight-reasons-to-end-the-lockdowns-as-soon-as-possible-b7bb0bc94f00

Thought

One of the outcomes of this “house arrest” policy–one chosen by Republican and Democrat governors alike, but embraced with peculiar and suspicious enthusiasm by Democrats particularly–will be the further cultural homogenization of America.  Inevitably, many of the quirky, fun little places just won’t make it.  They are not plugged into the system, and the big money will not flow even to meet their little needs.

The Big Corporations get bigger–and they really really like Democrats now, since the Democrats get them everything they want–which is the opposite of a level playing field, their conceits and rhetoric to the contrary notwithstanding–and Main Street puts up more For Sale signs.  I can think of specific people I’ve met, and particular places I’ve been, that will likely be closed permanently, even after this fiasco is ended somehow.

It’s sad.  It’s Samsara.  It is characterized by vanity, stupidity, greed, and pointless change.

The logic of the situation

I am going to immodestly propose that any of you who read this and agree with it cut and paste it in the comments section of your local newspapers and other social media you may be engaged with. No attribution is needed. Just cut and paste it as is, or as modified by you to better conform to your taste and sensibilities.
I think the logic of the situation can be framed reasonably simply as follows:
1) Given sufficient healthcare capacity the same number of people, roughly, will die if this quarantine ends tomorrow versus if it ends a year from now.
1a) Ventilators are no longer a limiting factor, and we have the highest bed capacity per capita of any country in the world.
2) A vaccine is unlikely for at least a year, and to develop one at all historically new technology will need to be invented. It amounts to either a cure of, or vaccine for, the common cold, which has never yet been produced despite much effort. Putting our eggs in that basket amounts to whimsy and foolishness, although efforts should not be abandoned.
We have, however, established reasonably good protocols with Zithromax, zinc, and hydroxychloroquine. We are unlikely to do better no matter how long we wait.
3) Each and every day this coerced labor lockout continues, the cost in human lives RISES.
There is an immediate cost, in terms of people putting bullets in their brains, driving drunk into trees, and shooting heroin in their veins and never waking up, which would not have happened had these people not been pushed over the edge by government policy.
And there is a longer term cost, in lives lost due to stress. A mere 1% increase in long term unemployment–and I think most observers think the number will be higher than that for a while–causes an overall national increase in mortality from all causes of about 40,000 lives.
4) the logic, therefore, that we are KILLING more and more people, that we are costing more and more lives, each and every day this labor lockout continues is, to my mind, compelling and irrefutable.
These policies are CAUSING death, not preventing it. And they are causing MISERY too, among all those who cannot pay their bills, and will get no money from the government, or not enough, or not soon enough.
5) The sticking point for most seems to be delusional thinking stuck in the Bargaining phase of grief. They want there to be another answer, where a good number of good people do not die.
There is no such answer. It is not forthcoming. There will be no miracle. We are here on Earth, and on Earth magical thinking does not equate to actual results. And all of us die. This is how the system works. I didn’t create it, I am merely recording its operation accurately.
The HUMANE response, then–the ONLY humane response–is to begin opening the national economy up immediately. Anyone who wants to hedge their bets, and phase it, I will support, since that is better than nothing. But the long term effect–the number of deaths from this terrible disease–will be about the same, so my vote is full opening tomorrow.

Worth the watch in my view

They deal with Marina Abramovic (sp?) about two thirds of the way through.  If you do watch it, or forward to that section, where they talk about charming quirks of hers like throwing dinner parties where the food is painted and sculpted to look like dead human bodies, please do so while considering Microsoft’s decision to use her to peddle a virtual reality platform.

Why would some small segment of our populace not want to do virtual Satanic rites?  Or perhaps even participate remotely in actual ones?  The internet is a big place, and the dark web enables things like that.

I’m having serious questions at the moment about Bill Gates moral sanity.  Who is he, really?

Maybe we need infection centers

Somewhere you can go to get a scratch of this thing, then back the next day for a shot of zinc and vitamin C. It would be quite useful for accurate clinical data.

We could go in waves.

Comment on a Kentucky website

The asshole governor really did use his State Troopers to take down license plates of people who attended church, and intends to more or less put all the people associated with them on house arrest. Unbelievable, in the United States. It’s time for the lawyers to start waking up and suing the shit out of everyone.


I honestly think Beshear should be impeached and removed from office for this. He is enforcing arbitrary rules in an arbitrary way, with no legal, logical, or historical backing behind them or his policy. The right to assemble peaceably is in the First Amendment, and there is no historical precedent to quarantine people who are not sick.

And here is the logic many of you won’t, but can’t refute because, unless I’ve missed something, and a rarely do, this logic is irrefuteable: most of us need to get this thing to make it go away. Let me repeat, with greater specificitiy: 60-80% of us MUST GET THIS DISEASE.

There is no other way. Let me repeat: THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

Think about this: there are seven types of coronavirus. 4 of them cause the common cold. The remaining three are MERS, SARS, and SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.

THERE ARE NO VACCINES FOR ANY OF THEM.

Let me repeat: THERE ARE NO VACCINES FOR ANY OF THEM. Not for SARS, not for MERS and God knows not for the common cold.

Given this, a vaccine is not a viable likelihood over any time domain.

And while it would appear Zithromax, hydroxychloroquine and Zinc act in tandem for many as a cure of sorts, they can only be applied to people who are already sick.

No prevention means the only way out of our houses and back to work is Herd Immunity, which is how ALL OTHER pandemics have ended.

As I say, you all may not like this. Most of your are stuck in the Denial and Bargaining stage of grief, in which you pretend that you don’t have to get it, and in which you pretend you can just hide away at home indefinitely.

You can’t. Let me repeat: you can’t. Everything will start falling apart very soon. Nothing will be left standing economically, and the government cannot feed us and clothe and no honest American who deserves their freedom would want them to anyway.

This thing only kills about 1 person in a thousand, and for every 2 people it kills, one of them was going to be dead in a year or two anyway. So worst case this thing kills 1 person in 2,000 who didn’t already have one foot in the grave.

We have plenty of beds in our hositals. Ventilators kill 4 people out of 5 who use them, and create permanent problems for the fifth. Smart doctors are not using them any more. So that is no longer an issue. PPE is out and about, and again, even the frontline health care providers need to get this thing too.

It is the only way.

If someone wants to attempt to refute me, have at it. I’m not wrong. I’m just seemingly one of the only people I know who is not in a tailspin of terror induced panic.

Thought experiment

One of the underlying assumptions, I think, for much of the “we have to rebuild history” movement–you know, the people edging their way to calls to tear down the Washington and Jefferson Monuments–is that if they had lived then, they would have thought, then, as they think now.

This seems ludicrous to me.  Certainly, no final answer is possible without doing the experiment.  But I would suggest this: being radically anti-slavery in the Antebellum period was an unpopular position, by and large even up North, and nearly unheard of down South.  Holding contrarian, unpopular views takes courage, and it takes the capacity for independent thought which courage provides.

What evidence could anyone offer me that the current crop of Leftists–the tearers-down–possess the slightest shred of moral or even physical courage?  There are controversial ideas now–such as that this notion of government mandated social isolation is necessary and leading to a better outcome than business as usual for all but the sick and elderly–which NONE of these people are capable of thinking, much less holding, much less articulating and defending in public.

If they can’t think out of the box now, if they ask how high every time the government tells them to jump, why would they have been any different 150 years ago?  Answer: they would not have.  Cowards exist in every age, and it is not uncommon for many of them to think themselves brave.  I call such people squirrel tamers, after the Monty Python skit. [actually, I rewatched it, and it is ant-eater.  I still like squirrel better]

As I think I commented here, many of these tearers-down are the precise people calling the government to report cases of insufficient obedience to the dictates of this ludicrous pushing-apart.

“Yes, hello Government?  I would like to report a father playing catch with his kids in his back yard.  Yes, they are outside, and seem to be smiling and laughing.  Can you send someone right away?  It is causing me terrible anxiety.  Thank you.”

This is an interesting time.  So many good and so many bad things may happen.

Point of law

In my view, quarantines really need to be ratified by the relevant legislative body. In the States, the State legislatures need to sign off on it; in the cities, the city council. Nationally, both chambers of Congress. A simple majority would do, but there needs to be oversight and conversation.
This is WAY, WAY too much power for any one person to wield in a supposedly free country. Yes, “emergency”, I get it. Do you think this is the first emergency ever? We’ve had many objectively much, much worse ones. The principle remains the same.
We are being played for fools and sheep. I really think the plan is to push this and push it, then get it close enough to November that the Dem’s can possibly, maybe, load their guy in a cart and carry him over the line with mail in cheating.
All this, with no regard at ALL to the catastrophic cost to many, many Americans, many of them formerly loyal Democrats, and some of them still asleep.

Thought

I wonder how many of you have stopped to consider that at this moment, in most of America, it is considered a rebellious, possibly illegal, and–dare I say it–SUBVERSIVE act to have a MEETING?
In my State our little thug is banning Easter services.
If this whole thing does not spark an enormous and vital discussion on civil liberties and how and in what ways governments can and should be prevented from just ordering us to do things we don’t want to do, then our freedoms are doomed.
As Franklin, I think, said, roughly, those who would sacrifice essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor security.
Given all the people calling hot lines to report violators of the social isolation guidelines, and given how robust the hysteria and panic appear to be EVEN NOW, after all the predictions have been wrong, it would seem our experiment is on its last legs. I hope I am wrong.

Spy novel level conspiracy theory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpQFCcSI0pU&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR08PxkpzRViSosoWp6c7DliGZbYub4bap7G8t2jAtQ7BJWi4KgdKNggHQA

Imagine the missing woman–I won’t try and remember her name–is actually a NWO agent, and that she was moved to a safe location by agents of the NWO after infecting her colleagues, and that the CCP itself is either in on it, or thinks she is dead because that is what they were told.

Bill Gates is helping nothing both by–reading headlines–calling for a national lockdown when things are nearly at a standstill already, both disease and work-wise; and by calling that no mass gatherings should be allowed until we have a vaccine.

Again, there is a tried and true, reliable, works every time remedy: Herd Immunity.  It is something we can get in the next month or less if we open up the gates.

Here’s a good link on that, if I haven’t posted it: https://www.thecollegefix.com/epidemiologist-coronavirus-could-be-exterminated-if-lockdowns-were-lifted/?fbclid=IwAR3FW8Zc4OBr4h-J50_eyW5z1gXuVkc9JAfKh-NtvVp5USBg2mVimVgCt8g

His argument is more or less the one I’ve been making.  Let the young and healthy (diabetes, being really fat and some other things even in the young present issues) go back to work, then let everyone else out a month later.  If they wind up in the hospital, we can deal with it.

But that globalists are USING this is to my mind beyond argument.  The only real discussion–which is really an impossible discussion, since we lack sufficient data and likely always will–is whether or not this thing was planned.

But we need to grow the balls to ignore people like Gates, and Ezekiel Emmanuel, and accept that we will nearly all get this, and then move through it.
