Stupidity

Once you understand and accept that human beings are a remarkably stupid species, then the world makes perfect sense!

Drawing Lines In The Sand


 

It is unwise to draw lines in the sand during a sandstorm!

Lockdowns Kill

Lockdowns don't reduce the number of deaths, they displace the cause of death from one factor to another and cause others (eg undiagnosed/untreated cancers) to increase over time.

Covid - The Reality


 

It is apparent that:

- Lockdowns don't work

- Lockdowns cause untold damage (metal health, non covid health issues and economic carnage)

- Track and trace apps in Europe have failed

- Politicians don't have a plan, other than to wait for the "vaccine "

Will the politicians change tack?

Will they fuck!

Irony KLAXON - The Connection Between Track & Trace and Scam Phone Calls

I find it "ironic" that since I have been mandated by the government to leave my contact details with pubs and restaurants, I have been on the receiving end of numerous scam phone calls!

Failed In Wales - Fire-Break The Lockdown That Dare Not Speak Its Name


When all else fails, double down on what you did before that didn't work but call it something else!

It won't work, and it will be in place a lot longer than 16 days!

Circuit Breakers Are Pigs In Makeup

 


Circuit breakers are lockdowns, except with a fancy name.

Just because the sick pig you bought last week is now wearing makeup, doesn't make it a new healthy pig.

DON'T BUY THE SAME SICK PIG TWICE!

Lockdowns

Lockdowns do not save lives, they postpone deaths and impart economic and psychological misery on people.

The Kobayashi Maru Solution

 

Every leader at some stage faces a decision where whatever he/she decides will lead to the deaths of thousands, no matter what he/she decides the leader will be blamed for those deaths (ie they face a no win scenario).

When faced with such a decision, the true leader (the one that will go down in history as a great leader) needs to grasp history by the privates and seek Captain Kirk's Kobayashi Maru solution (one that breaks the rules and dispenses with the binary choice no win scenario).

It should be noted that not every leader has gone down in history as a great leader!

Question Re The Three Tier System


How is it the Three Tier System has the following tiers:

- Medium

- High

- Very high

However, there is no "Low/Zero" tier?

Where exactly is the off ramp?

The Danger of Defined Paths

 


Defined paths (this is how things have been done before) and copycat policies are not always the best way to handle situations such as Covid, especially when they make things worse. 

The trouble is, no country or leader will admit that they have got it wrong.

Hence many countries are now doubling down on restrictions that will make things worse.

Question For Handcock

If local lockdowns/restrictions, imposed and managed by central government are so effective, why is it that in those areas which have had these lockdowns/restrictions for some time do the alleged cases continue to rise?

Ken's World of Facts - Social Media

Social media is NOT the real world, do not let it (or the shouty people who use it) give you a false perspective of reality.
