...that this fuckin lockdown was over.
People have lives to lead and, unless you are one of the "essential services" companies, you are stuffed. Stay at home, we are told.
There are too many thoughts running through people's heads, okay through mine, about this fuckin pandemic.
Is it, or isn't it a pandemic?
If it is, why isn't it killing more people? We haven't gotten that much smarter since the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918. Well, let me qualify that a bit more...a whole lot of people haven't gotten any smarter. Some European countries are taking a beating and blaming thousands of deaths on the Covid-bug. But are they really? There may also be underlying conditions that the bug is exploiting, resulting in the high death numbers. But just how many is the bug itself killing? I don't think we will ever know.
Africa, with all its underlying problems and issues, isn't experiencing the large number of deaths it was expected to. Yet. Perhaps its time is still coming, who knows? Having seen the lack of "social-distancing" skills of the local population, I think the numbers are still going to escalate dramatically. Our winter is on its way, the traditional flu season, so we will see folks picking up the "normal" flu and, with immune systems already low, more people getitng (possibly dying) from the Covid-bug or related issues.
If it isn't a pandemic, how is it possible that global governments can hold an entire planet to ransom? Given what we have seen so far, it is obviously possible for (say) 10,000 people to hold 7.5 billion people at bay. And how, you may ask? FUD....Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. Instil fear into the masses through mass media campaigns. Create uncertainty by telling them you don't know the way the bug moves, how it came about, that you have no antidote for it. Then create doubt in their minds by not keeping people up to date on the true numbers behind the virus, exactly how many have died, whether the "curve" in your country is positive or negative, that you don't know how long it is going to take for an antidote to be made.
And when you've done all that, tell the masses that the way to control this thing is by putting the entire planet on a lockdown. Shut the entire planet down!! If that doesn't get the FUD going, I don't know what will.
But I do think the people have woken up to the possibility that the whole thing has just been a massive hoax. There are already groups threatening to take China to court for starting all the shit (good luck with that), learned people like doctors stating that they are convinced it is a hoax and giving their reasons why, other "woke" groups claiming that the whole thing has been elaborately planned by governments to realign economies.
Whichever is the right answer, or the right response to the lockdown, has yet to be seen. But rest assured, when it comes, it is not going to be pretty. Someone is going to take the fall for the outbreak. Hell, we may even have WW3 on our hands.
If, on the other hand, it is a genuine pandemic, it needs to take down 4 to 5 billion people if the human population is to survive more than another 100 years or so.
In the meantime, cancel this stupid lockdown. People are doing their own thing anyway. If it catches or kills them, they were warned. Let's get the rest of this planet back to the new "normal".
