And it has little to do with left or right, but the policy line of a medical tyranny.Now people, this is kinda scary. It strongly suggests that they will start actively confining people who don't go along with the party line.

Both... Most people I know are so scared of this Corona, or scared of infecting others, that applaud all these measures. There is no way to even try to present them with the facts. Most of them are asking for a vaccine. The other day, my partner talked on the phone with a friend that said that after this is over he wants to leave Spain(none of us is Spanish), because most people he knows(he is a dentist and knows many) are so rigid and willing to give up all their freedoms and rights for this scam. People in this region are famous for backing the Franco dictatorship and following the rules. They are very authoritarians, in general. It is very sad, but trueWhen you say that most people agree, it's because you talked with a lot of people and you concluded this, or it's because you read it in the various comments over the net ?
My wife and I were thinking aloud about why people cannot make an effort to better inform themselves about Covid-19 and it made us conclude that education (or rather lack of) is playing a significant role in current people's behaviour. This is rather well explained with examples in the book, "The Coddling of the American Mind" which I have finished reading recently.
Sounds like the same thing is going on across the Tasman. We're all just shaking our heads. Stage 3 lock down from the political fools.In the meantime, almost half of the 1360 cases have officially recovered, 15 people are in hospital, 3 in ICU, 1 in serious condition - and has been for at least a week. And all of the CV19 ready wards around the country lie empty. And the government is claiming this is already a great victory, despite guaranteeing at least 2000 people would die during the 4 weeks of the lock-down. Defies belief.
It seems that when comments accrue a few thousand likes they're being deleted. But then this just makes people want to comment more.This has made my day - if you go on silly billy’s instagram every single photo is flooded with angry people’s comments, amazing
The few comics who are already extremely famous (like Chappelle and Ricky Gervais) are able to get away with saying a lot more. The working-class comics don't enjoy the same privilege. There's a guy named Alistair Williams who did a hilarious bit on Brexit but after it went viral he's been basically blacklisted by all the comedy clubs in the UK and has a hard time getting work.I just watched Dave Chappelle's new stand up show from late 2019, Sticks and Stones. He's not censoring and still hilarious. Rotten Tomatoes "official" critics gave it a 33% rating, but normal people gave it a 99% rating.

I think it's simpler than that. All the numbers creating the curve are false so they will flatten it when it suits them and they have done behind our backs what they wanted to do.One thought that's sticking with me is something that I only realised when I was writing that long post yesterday. And it's the fact that the 'flattening of the curve' is aimed at easing the load on hospitals and not on saving any lives. The flattened curve still has the same number of deaths under it, just spread over 2-3 extra months.
I've been finding it hard to keep track of the topic. Thanks for alerting me to the previous posts and for your patience!That is a very good video, I quoted it earlier in this thread and here:
Role of viruses in human evolution
Recently I finished Diseases From Space: Astrobiology, Viruses, Microbiology, Meteors, Comets, Evolution written by several authors including Chandra Wickramasinghe. The book consists of 8 chapters each written by a particular author. Basically, they provide evidence to support panspermia but...cassiopaea.org
It's very academic, but the description in youtube is a very good summary.
Very true what you are saying, Joe. This situation has only been compounded in the West by the destruction of Christianity, which also worked as a higher authority. The spiritual higher authority was replaced by the civilian authorities. This destruction of Christianity was made easier by the infantile spiritual narrative and the massive power abuse by the church authorities which really twisted the teachings and ponerologized it.In short, I'm not expecting anyone (i.e. most people) to be able to make that move from dependence on authority to something akin to sovereign independence. It's a big ask of children to ditch their parents and make it on their own.
Now, now. If they were to lock up everyone who posts negative comments about the lockdown, they would have to arrest millions. Did you see the flood of negative comments on ill Gates' instagram? His minions can't delete them fast enough. There are countless people posting. That's not really seen as much of a threat. It becomes a 'problem' when it's somebody high-profile, well known and with lots of followers, and there are probably other factors. It also depends on the country.
I agree. The numbers and the curves / graphs are the new colour coded alert system to get people to comply.I think it's simpler than that. All the numbers creating the curve are false so they will flatten it when it suits them and they have done behind our backs what they wanted to do.
