Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

[Ruth]

Here we are, five hundred pages of discussion with so many excellent observations and analysis - a party that it's a pleasure to be at Keep going for the sake of Truth!

I'd like to add my two cents. I think it's worth adding 4D STS forces to the overall picture as adding this extra dimension may shed a slightly different light on the overall situation. We should not forget that PTB is under another, much greater power imposing total control on the whole of humanity, including them. Watching how chaotic are moves of those that hold any power these days, I reckon that either PTB has been left abandoned, i.e. communication with 4D STS recently ceased, or that 4D STS forces are acting in a serious panic mode. FWIW

Actually it looks to me like they are becoming more involved. They have to, if they are going to keep control over the situation, or gain any benefit from it. Their 'representatives' are not about to be 'abandoned'. Unless, or until, they cease to be of any use to these entities.

While it does not come as a great surprise that this article did not get much traction in the MSM a compassionate person would expect that children dying from delayed medical treatment due to the UK government’s public information strategy would be of national interest

Exclusive: New evidence of child deaths linked to ‘stay at home’ COVID warnings

A mother is on telephone to NHS 111 for 60 minutes. There is no answer. Her child stops breathing while she is on the call. She had been to her GP. There is a seven week history of headaches and vomiting. The child dies in hospital.

Another child is waiting for a liver transplant, unwell for five days. The parents did not bring the child to hospital believing exposure to coronavirus brought added risk. The child suffers liver failure and blood poisoning. The child dies in the district general hospital.

There are phone consultations with a GP over a child with fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. Eventually the child is brought to hospital after suffering seizures. The severely ill child has lost half their red blood cells and is suffering profound kidney failure. Only with emergency renal support does the child improve.

A mother says she stayed at home due to the official COVID advice not to attend unless seven days of fever have passed. The child is eventually brought to hospital four or five days after the onset of fever, headaches and vomiting. The delay means the child is now severely ill with meningococcal disease.

On the same official COVID advice, a sick child is kept at home. The child is suffering from Kawasaki’s disease, an inflammation condition which can affect the heart. Urgently needed treatment is delayed.

These are just some of details from a dozen severe cases logged since the virus lock-down in just one paediatric regional network in England. The children described are between six months and 13 years of age.

Senior physicians have confirmed to openDemocracy that the situation in other regions of the UK, where COVID-19 has hit hard, is likely to be similar.

In order to protect medical and patient confidentiality, openDemocracy has not named the network which logged these cases, nor offered more information from the COVID-19 incident log that could lead to patients or the hospitals being identified.

But these are real cases, not anecdotal evidence or details casually passed on. They are from an NHS paediatric service and show a worrying pattern that the parents of sick children are hesitating before bringing their kids to hospital.

The government’s stay-at-home message, designed to back-up social distancing and prevent the spread of the coronavirus, is appropriate for adults – but dangerous for children.

Paediatricians are calling for an urgent change in the government’s message and official advice for sick children. As one physician told openDemocracy: “Children can die of these diseases mentioned here.

That, sadly, will not change. But what is making the difference is that we are seeing these children later than usual, and it is this late presentation that needs to be addressed or things will only get worse.”

Last week openDemocracy revealed that the president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), Professor Russell Viner, privately contacted the Chief Medical Officer for England, Professor Chris Whitty, urging an immediate change in the government’s public information strategy.

Central to Viner’s concern was the very low number of children currently coming to hospitals and the hugely reduced numbers being referred by GPs.

Paediatricians from across the UK have also reported to the RCPCH that children are arriving at hospital with illnesses at a far more advanced stage than they would normally see.

Children as ‘collateral damage’ of coronavirus
Although NHS England and the Department of Health have recently said that people should always go to hospital if they need urgent care, there is still no specifically tailored message for parents of sick children.
For some frontline paediatricians, the child illness advice available on NHS 111 is not good enough. They have urged an immediate change in the messaging strategy to prevent children becoming, as one consultant put it, the “collateral damage of this pandemic”.
The BBC has reported that Dr Richard Brown, a consultant paediatrician at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, said there were “recurrent themes” – ruptured appendixes and severe sepsis – affecting young children who had not come to hospital as soon as they should.
The incident log seen by openDemocracy shows that the situation at Addenbrooke’s is an example of what is happening across England.

Sample children's incident log
Nearly fatal
A mother calls the ambulance on multiple occasions about her unwell child. She is eventually advised by paramedics to stay at home. When her child becomes semi-conscious and is vomiting, the ambulance service is too busy. She is then advised to bring the child to hospital herself. The child has a ruptured appendix and is suffering from sepsis (blood poisoning) that could kill. Although suffering from septic shock, the child survives.
Another child, ill for three or four days, is eventually brought to hospital and diagnosed with “right sided pleural effusion”: water on the lungs, likely pneumonia. The child requires immediate transfer to a paediatric respiratory team. Delayed treatment is listed as the outcome.
A child suffering from ongoing fits is given significant amounts of seizure drugs at home by parents worried about calling an ambulance. This results in a loss of consciousness. Eventually an ambulance is called and the child is taken to hospital and found to be COVID positive. Non-stop seizures are listed in the incident log.
A child is known to their local hospital. They have recently been seen for asthma. The parents notice increased breathing and distress at home and increase the use of the asthma drug, salbutamol. They call 999 and are told it will be three hours until an ambulance can come. The parents drive to their local hospital. Delayed treatment is eventually given to the child who suffers a near cardiac arrest. The child is close to stopping breathing, but survives.
All these cases come from the same official incident log seen by openDemocracy. The worry among many doctors is that this pattern is typical across the country.

Exclusive: New evidence of child deaths linked to ‘stay at home’ COVID warnings

Medical incident logs leaked to openDemocracy show how children are becoming ‘collateral damage’ of the pandemic. (Warning: distressing content.)

The guardian has an article addressing this issue today six days later, although they seem to be more concerned about the numbers of people suffering terminal heart attacks at home rather than younger people dying due to delayed treatment. The article is full of suggestions that these deaths are potentially related to Coronavirus rather than the lockdown panic.

Minutes of a remote meeting held by London A&E chiefs last week obtained by the Guardian reveal that dozens more people than usual are dying at home of a cardiac arrest – potentially related to coronavirus – each day before ambulance crews can reach them.

The magical thinking / confirmation bias of some of the doctors quoted is mind boggling.

A&E doctors believe that many of the extra deaths from cardiac arrest are due to Covid-19 which, by making it difficult for someone to breathe, puts serious strain on their heart. “Of these 85 extra cardiac arrest deaths a day in London, they must be mainly Covid,” said the head of one A&E department.

There is also an example of how the MSM in the UK is heavily implying that the numbers of deaths are being under reported due to the care home numbers not being included in the official figures. Strange that any suggestion the situation is worse than current estimates is acceptable but pointing out that something fishy is going on with the numbers is a virtual hate crime.

The stark warning of another hidden toll caused by the pandemic followed the Guardian’s disclosure that hundreds of victims dying in care homes were not being included in official counts – with fears that the toll has since grown to thousands.

Those dying at home of coronavirus would also not be included in the initial daily government updates.

Warning as UK coronavirus outbreak leads to sharp rise in deaths at home


The coronavirus crisis has led to a sharp rise in the number of seriously ill people dying at home because they are reluctant to call for an ambulance, doctors and paramedics have warned.

Minutes of a remote meeting held by London A&E chiefs last week obtained by the Guardian reveal that dozens more people than usual are dying at home of a cardiac arrest – potentially related to coronavirus – each day before ambulance crews can reach them.

And as the chair of the Royal College of GPs said that doctors were noticing a spike in the number of people dying at home, paramedics across the country said in interviews that they were attending more calls where patients were dead when they arrived.

The A&E chiefs’ minutes said that on the weekend of 4-5 April the number of 999 calls in which someone had had a cardiac arrest rose from 55 a day in normal times to 140. Most of the people concerned died, doctors said.

The minutes also reveal acute concern among senior medics that seriously ill patients are not going to A&E or dialling 999 because they are afraid or do not wish to be a burden.

“People don’t want to go near hospital,” the document said. “As a result salvageable conditions are not being treated.”

The stark warning of another hidden toll caused by the pandemic followed the Guardian’s disclosure that hundreds of victims dying in care homes were not being included in official counts – with fears that the toll has since grown to thousands.

Those dying at home of coronavirus would also not be included in the initial daily government updates.

With the number of patients attending A&E plummeting, NHS leaders moved last week to urge the public to continue to seek help if they have a serious health problem. An NHS spokesperson said: “Anybody who needs urgent help – people experiencing heart failure, or expectant mums worried about their baby – should absolutely come forward and seek help from their local NHS.

“There is no doubt that, as the chief medical officer said, coronavirus is putting more pressure on NHS services, but NHS staff are freeing up thousands more beds for critical care whilst also keeping other essential services running, so parents, relatives and anyone worried about their health should continue to use their NHS.”

The minutes of the online meeting, held on Monday 6 April, said that “some patients [are] coming to harm as not coming in or being brought in”.

“Patients with conditions that are time critical re not presenting and concerns rising as to how we manage these patients, eg, no longer able to perform an open appendectomy [for an inflamed appendix],” they continue.


A&E doctors believe that many of the extra deaths from cardiac arrest are due to Covid-19 which, by making it difficult for someone to breathe, puts serious strain on their heart. “Of these 85 extra cardiac arrest deaths a day in London, they must be mainly Covid,” said the head of one A&E department.

Leading medical organisations have voiced anxiety that some people are inadvertently damaging their own health, and even risking their life, by shunning NHS care. People are either too scared to go to hospital or do not want to add to the strain on the NHS when it is under its greatest ever pressure with Covid-19, they said.

“GPs are noticing an increase in people dying in the community, often at home,” said Prof Martin Marshall, the chair of the Royal College of GPs (RCGP). “If patients are dying at home because they are fearful of seeking medical attention, or concerned about being a burden, then it is incredibly concerning.

“We would reassure them that the NHS is here for them, and we will do whatever we can to keep them as safe as possible when they access care.”

Paramedics in London, other parts of England and Northern Ireland have told the Guardian how they are turning up at unprecedentedly large number of incidents where the ROLE – recognition of life extinct – procedure has been carried out because the patient is already dead.

“We are going to more people that we are pronouncing dead. We’d average one a week normally, but I had days a week ago when I was doing three or four a day,” said one London ambulance service (LAS) paramedic.

Sources at the LAS said that its crews are attending many more 999 calls than usual involving a cardiac arrest where the person has already passed away. It is unclear how many are occurring in people with Covid-19, said officials, speaking anonymously.

Those dying at home include people whose underlying health is poor because they have pre-existing conditions, and then they get Covid-19, according to a paramedic with the East of England Ambulance Service.

“For some with diabetes or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease it wouldn’t take much to tip them over the edge,” the paramedic said. “It’s quite scary. there are lots more out there that aren’t being counted.

“People are being told to self-isolate, they get poorly at home and speak to doctors or NHS 111 before they call us. They get to the point where they are already very poorly. Perhaps they’re on their own or haven’t recognised [how unwell they are].”

Dr Katherine Henderson, the president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, which represents A&E doctors, said she was worried that the recent 29% fall in people attending A&E may mean that people who need urgent medical help are not seeking it.

“We are concerned that some people, particularly parents of young children, might not be seeking medical help when they probably need it for fear of contracting Covid-19.

“Some may also not be seeking help as they worry about adding pressure to the NHS at a time of crisis. But patients should not risk their health – and lives – by staying away as part of an understandable but undue effort to help the NHS. They should seek help if they need it – it is what we are here for.”

Dr Simon Walsh, the British Medical Association’s lead for emergency care, voiced his unease too.

“While it’s understandable that there may be fewer broken bones and sprains because of the confinement, the reduction in patients with diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and appendicitis, which we would expect to occur at a relatively constant rate at any one time of the year, is of concern.”

Marshall, the chair of the RCGP, added: “It’s vital that during this Covid-19 pandemic people continue to seek medical attention for conditions and illnesses unrelated to the virus – and if it’s an emergency, that they call 999 for help.

“The last thing we want is for patients to wait too long before seeking help, and that help arriving too late as a result.”

I had a similar experience yesterday. A news portal in Macedonia published the news that Sweden have lower numbers of infected and dead patients from covid19 every day, despite everything is open and working normally.

I reshared that news on FB. One woman commented that she heard from a CNN journalist in Stockholm that it is because the Swedish people were very self-disciplined, and they were practicing social distancing and gathering without need to lock down the entire country, and that we the Macedonian people (and probably other people from Balkan) are behaving like uncivilized idiots and that is the reason why we are under lockdown.

I hate it when I read these descriptions for groups of people and nations whose populace has a bit of fire within and they are not easy to manipulate. But it seems that from all the possible ways, this life-or-death threat as presented by this noburgervirus, is also aimed at extinguishing any fire through guilt-tripping, shame-imposing and stick&carrot manipulations.

That's the same BS they used to lockdown Greece too. It all started with recommendations to self-isolate, but a lot of people were not doing it, and the media started overtly and covertly putting blame and guilt on everyone through mentioning in derogatory terms the personality characteristics of Greeks that make them defiant and reactive to authority, as if those non-complying are uncivilized like animals and heartless as rocks, with "so many people being put at risk".

Then phrases like "self-responsibility saves lives", "stay home, save lives" came about, spouted by all parties, the media and celebrity videos, but again, there were people going for walks under the sun or to the beach. So the mandatory lockdown was implemented and parks and beaches closed down because "you all brought it on yourselves, you can't behave like the other civilized Europeans".

So people sat at home and tried their best because by that time they were convinced that they are saving lives by doing so. And then what happened? As of now, Greece has 102 deaths "due to" COVID-19 and for the first time in their lives they are being praised for "doing such a good job" compared to other European countries! (which is not true btw, Serbia, Belarus, Luxembourg, Finland, Moldova, Croatia, Iceland, Estonia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Lithuania, Malta - to name a few - have lower numbers).

Headlines like these appeared:

• Wall Street Journal Opinion: Greece Has Managed the Coronavirus Pandemic Admirably
• Once-Mocked, Greece Draws Praise for COVID-19 Lockdown Plan
• Greece learned from Italy’s and Spain’s mistakes and used rapid response to keep its virus deaths low

It is the first time in a long while that the greeks felt, instead of the problematic black sheep of the continent, like they did something right. And they feel proud that their country has become a prison camp, with drones everywhere (where did they get the money for those?!) heavy fines for the irresponsible & undisciplined, and need for a cell-phone approval to exit in order to fulfill a basic need outside their house. Most Greeks are really proud for keeping an imaginary number low in an imaginary screenplay that is going to have actual and horrendously destructive consequences in their lives (social and financial) in the near future.

But no, "Here's a stick. Good boy" pat pat, tail wag...

And in Portugal: "There is widespread ‘fear’ – among teachers, parents and pupils – following the government’s decision to defer its plan to partially reopen schools in early May."

The imprisoned become the most vocal advocates of continuing their imprisonment.

I was chatting to an acquaintance yesterday who knows someone who works in the local hospital. They said it was extremely quiet in their ward and the Hostpital has not been flooded with covid victims as others who work in the medical profession have mentioned throughout this thread.

Also the nightingale temporary hostpital that's been set up nearby was due to open today. Staff from other trusts throughout the county were brought in for an induction but they have been sent back now, suprise suprise NO PATIENTS.

I didn't go into this further than that as in their view it was either the lock down has been successful or we haven't reached peak infection time yet.

So the more time that passes the narrative being spun in my opinion falls apart bit by bit all be it too slowly. It is difficult to listen to the bull shit been spouted about this virus by our leaders. I've had some bad days as others have described here. My wife listens to MSM and even she has started to stop and think when I've questioned the narrative from info I've taken from this thread. You've got to tread carefully though as Laura's said below.
"
If the people of Earth don't want to fight for their rights and want to experience more suffering before they 'get it', who are we to stop them?"

I do feel as financial hardship takes hold caused by the lockdown. That's when we may see a back lash who knows as they say the future is open. It's incredible how the human race is so propaganderized. We really are currently slaves to the system.

Thanks to the forum, meditation and prayer I am not without hope. It really is a case of sit back and enjoy the show.

At least in the UK, looks like the plan is to only release us from house arrest once we all get vaccinated

Coronavirus: Significant social distancing needed 'until vaccine found'

Scientists say "significant" measures should stay for some time, with the UK lockdown set to continue.

I hope the anti vaxxers are strong in this country otherwise tyranny will be unleashed upon us all.

I heard yesterday that my ex-brother in law's father died. He had been ill for some time with several serious issues, including parkinson's disease. His daughter posted on FB:

This is in Northern Ireland (part of the UK officially), and is evidence of what we have been saying repeatedly here and elsewhere: that hospitals and doctors have been told to record deaths as "covid-19" or "suspected covid-19" in the ABSENCE of testing, but it includes something that I hadn't realized fully: they are also designating people who die as "suspected covid-19" when they have NO SYMPTOMS!

I can corroborate this pattern Joe. Our granny died peaceably from being 91, a long term lung condition, and - most importantly - because for a full year she did not have any purpose to live more - and repeatedly stated so. She passed quietly in her sleep with comparatively minor additional symptoms (she had some need for oxygen but so do most elderly as they approach death) and for a couple of days she had a mild temperature. She had been tested for COVID prior to passing but the results only came in post-mortem to 'confirm' she had the virus in her system. Result: death certificate will say she died of Coronavirus. I spoke to the doctor involved and said direct to him 'Dr., do you have any evidence the virus played any part in her passing?'. He was most uncomfortable... oohd and ahhdd... before muttering 'for years I've seen the elderly die with this flu and that cold and never before have I had to put anything so specific down on the death cert. But we are being instructed if COVID is found then that's what they died of.' Silence. He then walked off scribbling. I imagine we could repeat that story 10,000 x 10 times.

Sorry for your loss Joe.

I was listening to a national radio station in the car with my kids in NSW Aus yesterday, and noticed that the msm storyline has shifted from new cases and deaths 'with' Covid 19, to the amount of fines issued per state for 'irresponsible antisocial acts'.

I wonder, is anyone else is seeing that trend?

It is pretty interesting. Especially as the whole reason we have to go through all of this was because it's 'all about the deaths'. They may be going to follow through with a story along the lines of 'well it wasn't really as bad as we thought' or 'all those bullshit restrictions we put you through really worked, didn't they?'. That's probably the line MSM will take, especially if they are doing the government's bidding.

Our COVID-19 'Emperor' has no clothes. The propaganda arms of various governments around the world are currently going into overdrive to 'dress themselves back up again' and governments are valiantly trying to stop people from seeing them as they really are: i.e. 'naked'...

It's a real mess.

Unfortunately for people who can see this, most people are still cowering in their homes in abject terror because they believed it all. They don't tend to react to the truth very well, either.

 

[Michael B-C]

Hmmm, releasing prisoners on the pretext of prevention, and then when aforementioned who’ve been jailed commit new crimes, you have readymade justification for stronger enforcement of isolation. That almost seems too obvious. What is they say? The bigger the lie?

So prisoners are released to avoid contamination but normal people are put in jail for violating the quarantine:
British man faces jail time for violating coronavirus quarantine (March 20, 2020)
States threatening jail time over coronavirus orders' violations (March 24, 2020)
Italy threatens fines, jail time for those not obeying coronavirus lockdown (March 12, 2020)
...

Of course normal people who are jailed will, magically, not be contaminated nor contaminating others. And released prisoners, recovering their liberty, will jail themself again at home, sure. This is totally schizophrenic.

Yes, increasing the chaos.

There is also the possibility that as prisons everywhere are so over crowded (previously good for business) they need to make space for the expected dissenters who they will be rounding up soon, either on the streets or as problems increase at home as people 'lose it'. They win both ways that way - chaos in your neighborhood + capacity created for new intake to further program the populous.

Kids aren't coronavirus 'guinea pigs': Danish mums rebel as schools reopen
Denmark eased its coronavirus lockdown on Wednesday by reopening schools and day care centres, but concerns they might become breeding grounds for a second wave of cases convinced thousands of parents to keep their children at home.

I have a feeling that certain countries (Germany say?) will agree to act as guinea pigs to allow some degree of relaxation that then 'tragically' backfires - through re-infection rates suddenly soaring or fresh outbursts say among kids (something they've thus far failed to achieve). Just one story of a creche having a host of cases would be enough at this stage to send the world into a total spin again and accepting the near year long lock down I think they have in mind. We should also remember that WHO reps have been advocating for gate-crashing homes and pulling out the infected and this has yet to kick in... I suspect there will be a few more very nasty steps and turns on this road still to come in the weeks ahead... game theory always in play...

WooHoo!!! Power To The People!!! Lansing Michigan Protest. Cars in gridlock stretching 1 mile in all directions! The governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmir is rumored to be a the VP pick for Biden....sounds like a winning ticket. She goes on and on about our first responders and health care workers getting the virus from gas pump handles, ridiculous. SO GOOD to see this!

I saw this : US jails begin releasing prisoners to stem Covid-19 infections
France did the same. So orders certainly come from above. I did a quick search and yes, it's in several countries:
Source (march 25)

Only a short observation.... Assuming that summer is approaching for 6.5 billion people - these examples could reinforce the mantra "Stay home. Save lives.". The virus might have been the excuse for something else (or not), but perhaps it's the attention span of people today that was underestimated. A Netflix binge might be great on a rainy weekend or short holiday for some people. Jigsaw puzzles probably get less fun once they've been completed. Weeks and months of the same could become too much for many. They might not wake up, but they may still get angry, and their doors lock from the inside.

 

[SOTTREADER]

Guys, another way to explain why people are so happy to be imprisoned in their homes is because people hate going to work! Ask yourself this, of all the people you know, how many wouldn't go to work if they could?

People rarely talk about this but work tends to be a traumatic experience for quite a lot - I'd hazard a guess and say the majority. Going to work exposes people to - overload of constant stress, humiliation to self esteem having to be constantly ordered around & deal with petty tyrants, other psychological pain from working in a system built upon exploitation and run by psychopaths, constant money worries for never earning enough despite working endless hours etc

All in all it's absolutely traumatic really despite work being essential to civilization and part of a normal healthy adult life.

So if a situation arises that means people can not submit themselves to those conditions and at the same time not come across as lazy, of course they'll jump on that.

Note the people arguing for end to the lockdown are generally people who either own businesses (and are therefore in control of their destiny), are in control of their lives and / or people fighting on grounds of human liberties. In the main most 'middle class' securely employed people who can either get paid by the company from working from home or get furloughed and get 80% pay but not have to work are happy to just chill and take a breath for a while from the constant never ending daily stress.

Is it possible the government already knows this and so are using this to drive a wedge between citizens in society?

You might think it's people willing to lose their liberties / falling for the covid propaganda but in actuality it might just be people looking not to get back to a situation that was otherwise quite traumatic for them

The thing that makes me think the above is that actually, if most people were falling for this propaganda, they'd be very willing to get vaccinated... But I'm quite surprised by the reactions I'm seeing towards Mr Vaccine himself (Bill Gates) - pure opposition from your everyday average folks the majority of which are happy to be in lockdown.

Shine your light was a beautiful moment on Easter sunday as the country came together in solidarity. Lets keep the solidarity and the applause going please until we get through this pandemic.

At all times remember and observe social distancing.

Share and invite as much as you can across social media.

All Media mentions are much appreciated.

We noticed how social and mainstream media was flooded with uplifting scenes the 1st week this happened, so let's get out there in big numbers again and make this happen.

Stay safe and look after each other.

Use the # please : #applaudthefrontline

The above in my work inbox this morning. There is nothing quite like watching eager folk eagerly doing the self-programming on behalf of the PTB. When British poet Percy Shelley said these great lines in concluding his verse 'The Masque of Anarchy'...

Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!

... he never calculated however that the many would happily fall compliant tool of the few so that the few didn't need to worry - they the 'few' could rely in the end on the surrogate 'many' to do their bidding for them. Very appropriate that the sender of this email uses a parrot for their avatar!

Another thing... Have you ever noticed how it's rare that people are actually happy with their lot in life?

How many people are looking towards the destruction of this system? Ask yourself that

• Be it people saying comets should destroy the system because humanity is out of control spiritually speaking
• Be it people saying the environment should destroy the system because of plastic, carbon emissions etc (think Greta followers)
• Be it people saying the economy should implode because it's now corrupted beyond repair
• Be it people wishing for an apocalyptic war so that Jesus can come and rapture the righteous
• Be it people looking to escape the planet and go to New worlds (think Elon Musk)
• Be it people looking to escape the system by fusing themselves with AI because they don't think they are good enough as they are.
• Be it people blaming migrants for everything and wishing destruction on migrants

And so on.

How many people are actually happy / content? How many people are looking to numb themselves - addictions, drugs, anti depressants etc

How many people are in poverty, struggling, in countries being exploited by empire?

Even in rich countries, how many people are happy / content? Even in this forum, how many people can say they are perfectly content? Is it the majority or is it the minority in good personal situations?

Should the majority of people in any system be happy / content or is that just the privilege for a few minority? Is this how things can / should be?

So is it just that people are falling for propaganda regarding covid or is it that instinctively, people are seeing this as an opportunity to really break the system once and for all?
