Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

[nature]

France shut down! What a show!

At work, I was prohibited to shake my patients hands! It breaks social relations, they (and I) chatted less than usually, I felt far from my patients, as though there are strangers, no more "my" patients. There is an insidious effect on solidarity, on human relations.
I told one of them - an elderly, thinking he would understand the lies underlying all this stuff - that I'll shake his hand above all, that we don't need to be afraid as this virus is another flu, etc.
He replied "hey no! you know, the Chinese lie to us, the number of deaths are much higher, it's a very dangerous virus!" Yeah of course, our president never lies, it's the others who do.
Another patient, young 35 yo, who has high confidence in me, asked about the coronavirus herself, without I refer to it. I asked what is her feeling and she said she doesn't believe all these lies. I was surprised; I thought that the elderlies would be less manipulable as they have more experiences, as they saw so many presidents lying the one after the other.

So hand shaking prohibited, they gave alcoholic gel to all the employees in order to "clean" our hands "every minute", alcohol gel also hooked up to the walls everywhere in the hospital and people using it "every minute". With this artificially induced behaviours, people see virus everywhere . You see all this farce/masquerade introduced by authorities (political and medical) supposed to be serious about a so serious subject, so you are lead to believe naturally.

The tale "the naked emperor" comes to mind. Everyone sees a virus that is not here!!

When I was giving lectures on the New World Order, I explained that the deep government wanted to create general chaos, bring down the biggest fortunes (not theirs of course) to present their world ruler as the saviour of humanity (hiding their true intentions) For this the rulers must no longer had to be credible ( they did everything to make this happen) I think we are at the beginning of this project planned since 1773

And that's just looking at RT. God knows what is on all the other outlets!

And for what? A virus that is, comparatively speaking, almost a Nothing Burger!

The programming is complete!

Now I really understand this phrase.

In Spain they have put in jail "all" the citizens of the country.

Only individual trips to buy food are allowed. They have closed everything except supermarkets and pharmacies. Playgrounds, where children play, closed. Children cannot go anywhere to play. Walking areas in cities, closed.

And above all, the aggressiveness of the "people", against all those who try to lead a little "normal" life.

Right now, the people with the highest "quota" of freedom are the "prisoners" incarcerated in jails.

I repeat, right now, the Spanish are prisoners without trial or jury.

 

[SOTTREADER]

Not sure what your trying to suggest here?

That they were doing the same in China.

 

[sid]

I agree.

There are a handful of little snippets from the transcripts which have stuck in my mind over the last couple of decades (!!) and which serve as a kind of core belief and maybe even reality-shaping guidance system. One of them was an exchange between Laura and the C's discussing things to come. (This is totally paraphrased and I don't recall the session date):

"So.., there will be a war with American STS forces. Europe and the rest of the world will push back.., and win! There will be a time of rejoicing and stability. And then.., Splat! A comet wipes everything out."

I seem to also recall, "With food shortages, disease naturally follows."

These little quotes have settled in mind like something between common wisdom and bible entries; poetic stanzas poorly describing a more concrete truth not yet seen. Critical interpretation following observation as reality plays out is the best way to learn what they mean.

Anyway.., the war with the American STS, I think, while there is certainly a boots-on-the-ground quotient, has been pretty mild when you contrast current day warfare to wars in the past. When you compare the casualty counts of the first world war to modern warfare.., it's unreal! They're in totally different solar systems, -perhaps literally. (The Iraq war, including violent civilian deaths from 2003 to 2013, is around 680,000. By contrast, World War I claimed and estimated 40 million. That's industrial level death! I remember a history teacher one time trying to explain the daily death toll in terms of box cars worth of humans per hour, per day. As a species, we were seriously committed to killing each other.)

Today, the world has shifted focus in terms of combat.

The world now stages its modern sound and fury in the media. More than half the war, maybe even most of it, is taking place across virtual reality. Hell, I've been in soul-bruising combat more times than I can count over the years on one forum or another, trading words and barbs like bullets. I bet everybody here has. It's taken twenty years to learn how to not hurt people and not get hurt.

But the system as a whole.., that's really, really new. Sending off a volley of keyboard strokes and then sitting in the dark with your heart beating fast, knowing the response is coming any time over the hill and that, god damn, it's going to hurt. There was never anything like that for people to experience before. What an energy meal for the lizard kings! You can rinse and repeat those kinds of soldiers. You can only shoot a man in the trenches once. I wonder, after years of extraction, which type of warfare delivers the most moon food?

I once, now quite some years ago, had a powerful energy-kung-fu type friend who similarly left little bits and pieces of word-maps in my mind. He once observed, "Everybody in this version of reality is more focused on the intellectual landscape, on beliefs. The battles here are going to be less physical and more philosophical."

It's one of the reasons I've been so fascinated by the so-called "Culture War" playing out in pop culture, movies, comic books, YouTube and Twitter, and everywhere else that you can get up a head of steam over things. -With gender/race/grievance studies driving so much of the "Fight!" energy. Just the fact that the phrase "Culture War" arose on its own and that everybody knows exaxtly what you're referring to, speaks to its prominence.

There have been some very intense defamation and copyright lawsuits played out with the sort of popular attention previously reserved for huge sporting events, millions of dollars raised through crowd sourcing to pay for lawyers! Everybody is involved in this stuff. The battles taken to the courts with critical questions hanging in the balance. Those Kavanaugh hearings? Remember that? Those were pivotal! I didn't really grasp how much so, or why the Left went so completely nuts over it, why they pulled such an over-the-top hail Mary to prevent the seating of a right-of-center judge, until things began to reveal themselves through these various court battles. The Covington Kids, that Jessica Yaniv creeper, and the Gay Cake Fiasco, to name a few. -And many more in the fields of comics and YouTube. How bizarre! -And all of them divided very clearly along political and Post Modernist philosophical lines. It's like each one is just the same court case, but with slightly differing details.

"Truth v Lies!"

-It's why I've been so glad to see people like Jordan Peterson turning the tides through the popularization of philosophy. It really feels like a bloody and desperate war has been fought, still is, and that the good guys made and continue to make a good showing. It leaves me short of breath sometimes in a way that physical confrontations across the globe do not.

-Which isn't to say that hard policies and whose missiles are aimed at who aren't of importance, but.., I'm not seeing so much actual territory being openly fought over. I see the war as being far more distributed affair, less contained by borders. It's not France, China and Russia v the U.S.A., but rather the guiding principles of the individuals distributed through all nations. "The war is fought through us." But if there is a ground zero, a physical Mordor, then maybe it is Hollywood CA and Silicone Valley. Maybe that is more American STS than America.

Anyway..,

The point of all this being that the current pandemic disease crisis just doesn't strike me as particularly critical to the Big Lesson of this reality. It doesn't seem like a black hat Gotcha moment. It seems more a symptom, a challenging weather pattern, but not some big conspiracy grand master touché.

What does it have to do with Truth v Lies and the growth or locking down of our various soul lessons?

I think 5G is much more in line with mustache-twirling evil. Plagues are too stupid and difficult to control.

The only thing which worries me is this one...

"97% containers will be used. Total consumption."

So what do I know? Maybe a nice plague is the perfect excuse.

Really well summed up my own thoughts about how things have led to current state and the enabling role technology has played over last 20 years or so. The virtual world of internet has acted as a perfect vector of STS thought patterns. Whichever direction you look, its a cesspool of mental masturbation discharges. Even the SOTT’s comments section is not immune to this.

It makes perfect sense from a timing perspective given Earth’s transition to 4D as the controllers want our though patterns to be finessed and fine tuned at certain frequencies which will keep us locked in their chosen realities. I mean, just take a look around - people have gone absolute nuts over something less threatening than a common cold. We are officially in a Matrix now.

The architect pushes a button and that creates the desired reaction all round inside the construct. The ultimate goal being that the battery nodes ie people which provide fuel for the controllers will openly accept their stated role in return for an artificial and materially comfort driven life in the matrix. And you dare not wake them up for they will instantly morph into the agents of the matrix and hunt you down.

And here’s the kicker. The chosen ones are made to believe that there is an arrangement with the architect allowing them to live outside the construct in a special chosen city called Zion and occasionally allowed to hack in and pretend to be gods and superheroes such as Neo and Morpheus to catch any one who dare awake. Yahweh has chosen you now. How biblical!!

 

[SOTTREADER]

This video is EXCELLENT, thank you for sharing. The guy is very experienced and a true expert deserving that title.

Just two of the great points: in no way does testing positive for corona viruses in those who die from it mean that the virus is the cause of death. All it means is that "in those people, the corona virus was found". As he points out, the average age of the Italians who died was over 80, many of these had cancer and many other illnesses; the corona virus may have nothing to do with their deaths.

Second, there is all this panic that you can get "reinfected". He explains that the reason why the body doesn't preserve antibodies in certain cases (i.e. you are not immune forever after contracting a virus) is - ha! - that the immune system simply doesn't bother with such a harmless infection!! The immune system is smart: why keep antibodies for such a nothing-burger?

Great talk. It might even be worth it to use the automatic subtitle translation if you don't speak German. Link:

During the beginning of this outbreak, there was a lot of talk regarding flu death comparisons between the US and China.

China consistently posts lower deaths due to flu than the US. The difference is in China, if someone has another underlying condition, gets the flu and dies, in the death certificate they will list the other condition as the cause of death. In the US, they list the flu as the cause of death.

It sounds like the person in the video is advocating for the adoption of the Chinese system, which technically doesn't align with the western system.

Data methods show gap between US, Chinese flu-related deaths - Global Times

www.globaltimes.cn

Chinese netizens questioned why the flu death rate in China is much lower than that in the US given the overall coverage of flu vaccines in China is less than 2 percent, far lower than the rate of developed countries, including the US. Some doubted the effectiveness of the vaccines.

"The US flu mortality rate includes cases where flu causes other illnesses to worsen and lead to death, while China only counts people who die directly from flu," an observer who prefers to be anonymous told the Global Times.

The statistical methods used by the Chinese CDC should be revised, as deaths from pneumonia caused by the flu, for example, are not counted, the observer said.

Observers called for an improved statistical approach, and encouraged the public to get an annual flu shot.

An analysis led by Chinese scientists published in The Lancet Public Health in September 2019 found that there were 84,200 to 92,000 flu-related deaths in China each year, accounting for 8.2 percent of all deaths from respiratory diseases.

China might have adopted this method to show their population the effectiveness of the flu vaccine i.e. deaths are low due to the vaccine.

 

[Thebull]

That they were doing the same in China.

And?

 

[Niall]

"But what about the 1,400 deaths - and climbing! - from COVID-19 in Italy?"

Here's contextual data concerning annual "excess ILI-attributable deaths" in Italy. ILI stands for Influenza-Like Illnesses.

This study was published last August in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

They give two sets of numbers, a higher and lower figure for each season, then explain the difference between each (one of two different models were used), and state why they favor the lower figures. Recall also the research shared by German flu expert Dr Wodarg; that between 7% and 15% of these ILI-attributable excess death will have been caused by (or at least positively correlated with) one of a number of strains of coronavirus.

Here's the relevant part:

During the study period, 136,686 ILI-attributable excess deaths were estimated using the full model (IA + ET effect). The average annual mortality excess rate (MR) ranged from 40.6 to 70.2 per 100,000. The total number of excess ILI-attributable deaths during the 2014/15 season was 41,066, 65.6% higher compared to the previous season. During the 2016/17 season, the number of ILI-attributable excess deaths was 43,336, 57.9% more than the previous season.

Using the Goldstein index, the total number of excess deaths attributable to influenza in the 4-season study period was 68,068. The average annual mortality excess rate (MR) ranged from 11.6 to 41.2 per 100,000. Most of the influenza-associated deaths per year were among elderly individuals (≥65 years) (Table 3). During the 2014/15 and 2016/17 seasons, the influenza-attributable excess mortality was higher compared to 2013/14 and 2015/16. The total number of excess influenza-attributable deaths during the 2014/15 season was 20,259, three times as high compared to the previous season; and most of the influenza-attributable excess deaths were among individuals ≥65 years (96.1%, N = 19,475). A similar pattern was observed during the 2016/17 season, when the number of influenza-attributable excess deaths was 24,981, 58.1% higher compared to the 2015/16 season and 23.3% higher compared to the 2014/15 season.

Not only that, the ILI-attributable excess death figures for Italy two winters ago has not yet been crunched, but it was reported in the media at the time as "the worst flu season in 14 years." I guess then that the excess death toll in Italy for the winter of 2004/05 was higher still.

The International Journal of Infectious Diseases study authors also posit an interesting idea for why Italy consistently records relatively higher ILI-attributable excess deaths in Europe. Besides its relatively older population, the weather there is generally warm, such that when cold spells arrive, they are particularly taxing on people who are not used to the cold.

By the way, I found another study which shows that, since the 1990s, up to 75% of Italy's elderly have been vaxxed against flu every single year, and it has had ZERO (positive) affect on the numbers getting infected/dying.

No problem how do you feel about the oldies been quarantined in the UK?
My immediate experience seems to suggest that the over 70's will try and hole up and isolate themselves.
My mum cancelled a dinner date with me today and an older gentleman we see is keen to avoid contact with people. They have been expertly programmed to buy into this outbreak. It does seem over the top to me and I am fearful for them. They'll be running to the doctors for that vaccine when available. It seems to me they are volunteering to be culled without so much of wimper. I find it incredibly sad.

[nature]

With respect to the situation in Italy, this article gives a good possible explanation on why it has gotten so bad:

Italy: “ICU wards are overflowing” « Jon Rappoport's Blog

blog.nomorefakenews.com

Here’s the trick. Before the announcement of the coronavirus epidemic, people who showed up at those hospitals, with flu, flu-like symptoms, lung infections, pneumonia would be placed in the general wards and treated, or even sent home with drugs.

But now they would, many of them, be called “presumptive cases” of coronavirus, without any tests at all, or after tests which don’t work (see my prior articles on why the diagnostic tests are useless and deceptive). By labeling these patients “contagious coronavirus,” the hospital doctors are forced to send them to the ICU, to “protect others from the infection.”

Thus, these ICUs are crowded and overflowing.
Which of course, will lead to many more people dying

The haute couture tailors create the sumptuous garments of the emperor, with the billions dollars taken from the people, so it's sure all this is real, not fake otherwise they will not waste that money. Isn't it?

[...]
Right now I don't think that this whole thing was planned (at least on a 3D level), but the 'tricksters' are using this opportunity to further their agendas. As evidence for the 'no planning' there's the fact that many countries are now closing, or have closed, their borders. This is counterproductive to the globalists agenda, and this 'pandemic' will make people vote for more strict border controls in the future. Wonder if 'they' thought about that?

At the contrary, it's the perfect plan. Other crisis like random shootings, terrorism, wars, financial crisis have not been enough (in their POV - as they are more and more greedy of power and money) . This one, a single virus, make people so scared (image of the elephant vs mouse comes to mind) that they are ready to accept total control (border closure, lockdown, food shortage, taking your money in your bank account to protect you against this monster virus, controlling chip in your body, mandatory vaccination). People accept sall this! A dream for them.
The economy is crushed? It is wanted, as the economy is yet crushed since many years and they hide it. Moreover, after that crushing economy, they will win much much more: the total control, priceless for them. After a severe crisis with panic, they restrusture, reshape our behaviour and way of thinking. They've made lots of psychological experiments since WWII, they are very keen on this domain. The globalist agenda will be even stronger: controlling the global money, one world bank, 1 world food control and distribution, one world military, etc.

www.sott.net

Also, see below

If you read again through this and other threads, you will see that forum members, and very probably a significant number of SOTT readers are taking precautions to not catch the illness, and to minimize its effects if one gets it anyway. This is very different from panicking and falling into the hysteria of fear. It's keeping calm, searching for solutions, and acting upon the gathered knowledge in the more rational way possible given the available data.

Pubs are starting to shut down over here, people are posting photos of people out having drinks etc in the city centre, the comments are they are irresponsibly no consideration for themselves or others basically saying they shouldn't be out on the streets.

Elsewhere people are saying, kids should be kept indoors they spread the virus comments are I saw kids out playing they should be indoors, whats wrong with people do they not care etc etc. Heard from different people who work in security the army will be brought in soon to deliver food to the elderly, who would argue with this sure there helping the elderly no biggy, so Im guessing the elderly will be the first who are told to stay at home like in the UK, once people are comfortable seeing the army out on the streets, full lock down will commence. But I think most will gladly go into lock down right now, so will wait and see.

UK coronavirus LIVE: Boris urged to call state emergency and introduce food rationing

BORIS JOHNSON has been urged to declare a state emergency in the UK over the coronavirus outbreak which has seen at least 1,140 people infected in the country, according to the latest figures.

In the UK 1,140 people have been infected by the killer virus, according to the latest figures released yesterday by the Department of Health, but Mr Johnson’s chief science advisor has warned this number of coronavirus cases could be up to 10,000 right now. The death toll rose rose 21 yesterday, up from 11.

A YouGov survey for The Sunday Times found 52 percent of people say Boris Johnson should declare state emergency, following the likes of the US and Spain, who both announced new measures yesterday.

Of those polled 63 percent supported the introduction of food rationing.

The poll also found 47 percent think Boris Johnson should do more to tackle to the outbreak.

Today Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed the NHS needed more ventilators to deal with the coronavirus crisis.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock told Sophy Ridge On Sunday on Sky News: "We start with around 5,000 ventilators, we think we need many times more than that, and we are saying if you produce a ventilator then we will buy it.

"No number is too high."

Dr Chaand Nagpaul also urged the Government to provide "clear, decisive plans" to ensure that healthcare workers can provide the care patients need.

Asked about the number of ventilators in the UK, Dr Nagpaul told Sophy Ridge On Sunday: "Our starting position unfortunately has been far worse than may other of our European nations - we have about a quarter of the critical care beds that Germany has, as an example, so it's really critical, it's really important that we now see transparently what plans the Government has to expand that capacity."

9.15am update: Over-70s will be told to self-isolate for up four months

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it is a "very big ask", but it is a measure which is for their own "self-protection".

He told Sky's Sophy Ridge On Sunday: "That is in the action plan, yes, and we will be setting it out with more detail when it is the right time to do so, because we absolutely appreciate that it is a very big ask of the elderly and the vulnerable, and it's for their own self-protection."

Pressed on when the measure will be introduced, he said: "Certainly in the coming weeks, absolutely."

He said coronavirus is "a very significant challenge" that will "disrupt the lives of almost everybody" in the UK.
