Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

Michael B-C said:
I'm still contemplating the implications of this Abats - but of course its all just guess work. But reasoned, based on my experience working on even small scale large ambition films. If you think about it both ways its a puzzle. If we assume that given the chaos of the first month to six weeks, no one could have got the attention of a studio/producer with the bones of a concept before then - so lets say late April/early May absolute earliest, but at that stage who would have bankrolled such a reasonably large budget production (its a feature film remember) on the basis that come the end of the year - even if we were out of the pandemic - all the smart money would be on the belief that no one would to pay to see a COVID film or hear the word ever again (I remember telling all the writers in theatre I knew around May 'do not come to me with a play about COVID because no one will want it come the autumn; they'll only be interested in life affirming subjects not more of the horror show that been their bitter daily bread for months). So that's challenge number one for something conceived in real time.

Secondly, the script clearly knows too much; how could you make those kind of assumptions its portraying after just the first few months of the process (remember for ages masks were even a public joke to the CDC). And then there's the reality of filming; it claims to be the first feature made out of LA since COVID started; well I can tell you the whole industry is in a state of absolute inertia and chaos because the filming regulations are so crazy and prescriptive, it would take you a week or more to film what you would normally achieve in half a day. So unless this got 'help' and a big waver on restrictions, it should have taken months and months to film not weeks. They've clearly got it well into post, hence the quality of the trailer, full sound dub etc. So it just doesn't make sense as a film project conceived and produced in 3 months nor as one that even took say 6. Unless back then they were actually handed a finished script by a certain agency contact (every studio has a CIA office by the way) on March 13th and told to film this with no changes and we'll give you all the resources and waivers you need to get it out come the autumn. That's my best current bet to be honest.

All in all its a very interesting potential insight into something. Makes me remember how the Patriot Act was actually drafted in the late 1980s/early 1990s and left on the shelf so to speak waiting the crisis ahead. And then there's the full Afghanistan invasion plans waiting on Bush's desk day one of his presidency. Long hall Predictive programming is in there I bet your Hollywood dollar. .

Considering this :

Laura said:
Q: (L) Okay, moving along. Next question:

Has this whole situation/reaction/measures in so many countries been planned?

(L) In other words, I think they are asking was it all planned in advance?

A: No, but plans along similar lines were activated to take advantage of opportunity.

Q: (Joe) Was this at the level of the World Health Organization? Or... What body was involved in implementing these plans?

A: Secret consortium of which the WHO is just a tool.

So, it could be said that yes it was in the paper, they had the plans, the scenario, the script, and just had to change the name whatever it was for covid :huh:
 
Quote..On the forum we know well (I think strongly) that we have some hindsight when it comes to all the means of "entertainment" used to instill anything in people's minds. It is the same for my previous post on the announced 3rd wave, this information is useful in the sense that we perceive that they have not learned the lesson and think that we will still accept to have a 4th, a 5th wave and so on. End quote


There seems to be some indication that the Wave has arrived in unexpected ways.
But looking at the bigger picture with coming food shortages, lock downs, longer winters, people losing they’re mind over elections and on and on, it also seems that reality is splitting as well.
Some people see the Biden socialist agenda as the only reality.
Others see Trump and his agenda as the only reality.
There is little middle ground left.
The corona virus seems to be the biggest piece in the fight for the Crown.
There won’t be a winner, only a continuous battle until reality is fully split.
I don’t believe there is any changing minds at this point, people are pretty much decided.
It might be time to just hunker down and wait it out for now.
 
Today I went to Best Buy, to get a new phone. Masks mandatory, so I put one on. After about 10 minutes I began coughing uncontrollably. I uncovered my nose and partial mouth. The coughing stopped. I guess that I am one of the unfortunate people who needs oxygen! Lucky me!

Walmart will use four of its locations across the country to fine-tune ways stores can operate better as both physical shopping destinations and online fulfillment centers.

The test stores will be used to try out new technology, digital tools and physical enhancements with product and technology teams embedded in the stores to prototype, test and iterate solutions in real time, Walmart said.

Two of the test locations are already “up and running,” with at least two more to come, the company said.

“In this new era of retail, assets that used to serve a single purpose will transform into flexible, scalable assets that can be used in multiple ways to serve customers how, when and where they need,” said John Crecelius, senior vice president of associate product and next generation stores, Walmart U.S.

Walmart’s e-commerce grew 97% in the second quarter as consumers turned to mass-merchandisers to meet their needs in fewer shopping trips during the Covid-19 outbreak. The company’s total revenue for the quarter was $137.7 billion, an increase of $7.4 billion, or 5.6%. U.S. comparable sales increased 9.3%, led by strength in general merchandise and food.

Crecelius said the company is moving quickly to flex and use physical retail stores to not only serve in-store shoppers, but online shoppers, as well.

Among the changes being tested:

In the first store, Walmart is making all apparel available online to test what needs to be done to make more merchandise omni-channel.

“We will continue to identify other hard-to-manage categories that we can work to make available. By doing so, we’ll learn what it takes to make all eligible items in the store truly omni– available for customers online and in the store,” Crecelius said.

The company is testing an augmented reality app that speeds up the time it takes to get items from the back room to the sales floor and investigating how in-store signage and handheld devices can help employees pick items for online orders faster.

The test stores also will be used to tweak the checkout process, building on contact-free experience rolled out earlier this year.

Walmart also announced this week that it would temporarily remove all guns and ammunition from its sales floors in anticipation of potential unrest following the presidential election next week, a company spokesman told The Wall Street Journal.

Firearms will still be available for sale by request in the more than 2,000 Walmart stores that carry them, per WSJ. The company did not say how long guns would remain off display.

I do not bring up politics with my 2 daughters because of their emotional blockage towards reasoning. To them leftism is enlightenism and conservatism is medievalism. However, they are both very practical and live conservative lives, they are just brainwashed by the lies that they will lose their liberty and free-speech is conservatives start imposing their religious beliefs on everyone. Plus they think Trump is a misogynist.

They are also covid-fearist. 😞☹️

I'm doing a little bit of pondering here... so it may not be everyone's 'cup of tea'.

The polarization that seems to exist between two 'factions' is really quite astonishing. Many people don't understand what's really happening (and they don't want to, either). They most likely have never experienced anything like it before and chose not to learn about it. Afterall, how many of us have actually experienced Stalinist Russia, Nazi German - or actually lived in a war zone?

Globally, this situation seems like a 'testing' of humanity. Those who fight it, get stronger. Those who don't, become enslaved (or perhaps 'infected' and turn into virtue signalling zombies) and those who attempt to escape merely meet exactly the same thing in a different place (maybe not immediately).

I had a very amusing discussion with my father who lives in a different Australian state to mine. I live in the prison state of Victoria. Even in Victoria there is a dichotomy of views. Some people think (erroneously or naively, I think) that our Premier is just trying to 'do the right thing' and 'keep us all safe'. Quite a large portion of the population are really angry at him - at the very least they want him out of office and I've heard talk of literal firing squads too.

My father is very well versed in the idea that 'the cure should NEVER be worse than the disease', but he has no faith in the Victorian public ever remembering that, and says he is cynical about whether this will have any effect on Premier Andrews. I disagreed with him because I think Premier Andrews 'handling' of a disaster that he himself created will leave a scar on the people that no-one will forget. This is an example of someone who isn't living though it having no idea about what people really feel. They are so vulnerable to the rubbish that MSM comes out with.

He then went on to rant about Donald Trump. :-O (Despite the fact that Donald Trump has recently said that 'the cure should NEVER be worse than the disease'). I told him that Biden most likely had dementia and he said that luckily that Kamala woman looked like she had some sense. :-O That's how bad his MSM derived opinion of Donald Trump is! I accused him of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and he proudly agreed with me! I had to laugh. Maybe I should get him a t-shirt saying: "I've got Trump Derangement Syndrome". He'd mostly likely wear it with pride and not have a problem!

With our State slowly 'opening up', I've come to realise most people just want to be told information that they already want to hear.

The crew at Advocate Me lawyers are still plugging away. The latest initiative is Cops for Covid Truth. A New South Wales Police Senior Constable has penned an open letter to the New South Wales Police Commissioner and has offered it on the above website for other police officers, members of other forces and civilians to sign.

It draws on the facts of Covid, details how implemented restrictions are in conflict with both law and international treaties and calls on members of the police force to not enforce measures that are outside of the rule of law including any measures to do with mandatory vaccinations.

An interesting one to follow, though it could be just the move needed to use the military to enforce such measures.
 
Mrs and I went out for some shopping yesterday nearly after four months thanks (well, no thanks) to lifting of 5KM restrictions. We are still required to wear masks everywhere except when driving or eating out. It felt pretty weird out there, a lot of peeps were wearing their masks just under the nose and would sometimes pull them if someone was staring. Quite a few shopkeepers had the mask just hanging down and I could see a lot of exasperation on their faces. I could just sense the suffering and depression in the air. Most of the Victorians are not in the favour of masks but they'll take whatever freedom would come their way after three months of hell. We are hoping that the current 25K restriction will be lifted on 8th Nov and can finally get some country air. It hasn't been easy the last few months but we are keeping our sanity for now.
 
I am so behind this thread, so if it was already posted somewhere, I apologize for the noise:

This morning, I expected to find my city center dead, but instead all shops remained opened despite the lockdown! On all windows one could read:

"We stay open to fight inequality"

Several of my friend texted me to say that their mayor had refused to implement the lockdown and that shops were remaining open.

I hope people will start resist the tyranny.

Yep.

Confinement: "It is better to have four customers in 25 stores, than 100 customers grouped together in the same store," says Gilles Platret, Vice President LR

By-laws are multiplying in the communes to challenge the closure of small businesses because of the confinement. The mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône and vice-president of the Republicans denounced the break in equality with hypermarkets and online sales platforms.

The municipal by-laws that, here and there, allow small businesses to open despite the confinement, "it's primarily to protect customers," said Gilles Platret, mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône (Saône-et-Loire) and Vice President of the Republicans, guest of franceinfo this Saturday morning. "It's better to have four customers in 25 shops, than 100 customers grouped in the same shop," he explains, while he also denounces "the breach of equality and unfair competition" between online sales platforms or hypermarkets and small shops.

franceinfo: Did you take this decision for health or economic reasons?

Gilles Platret: No one today can dispute the fact that there is a break in equality and unfair competition, that's for sure. Supermarkets can't, and I don't even blame them, separate essential products from non-essential products in completely open trays. So you have a break in competition with small shops. But the main stake, in my opinion, besides this one, which is an important one, is first of all to protect the customers. Today, the accumulation of customers in supermarkets is more conducive to the spread of the virus than the scattering of customers in the city's small shops, so it is first of all a health reason that leads me to make this decision.

Do you doubt the sanitary utility of closing down small businesses?

Worse than that. It's much better to have four customers in 25 shops than 100 customers in the same shop. It's just common sense. It's neither right nor left. Last night, I encouraged the prefect of Saône-et-Loire to go to the supermarkets, take a cart and sit behind a cash register in the middle of dozens and dozens of customers. Is this the ideal setting to preserve the health of our fellow citizens? I don't think so. And even if the supermarkets only sold essential products... But they sell absolutely all products. You'll see what's going to happen this weekend: people are supposed to be cooped up at home. They don't work for most of them, so they're going to find one way out, and that's to go to the supermarket and get some fresh air. This situation has been caused by this way of being obsessed with the supermarket as the one that has to save health and the economy. This is completely false, it does not correspond to the reality on the ground.

So we are simply asking the State to go out into the field, to go with the real people, to realize what is happening. And automatically it will be led at least to doubt, if not to reconsider its position, and that's why all the associations of elected officials are pushing in the same direction.

Isn't this approach futile when every time the prefects ask the elected officials to withdraw their decrees that they qualify as illegal?

It's a little strong for coffee because I'm just going to remind you of one thing: we are still within the framework of a constitutional state that preserves the free administration of local authorities. It's in the Constitution. That the prefects believe that the decrees are not in conformity with the law, that's their right. But it's not up to them to say whether they are illegal or not. They pass them on to the administrative courts. That's what mine, like many others, I imagine, had to do. And we'll wait for the judge's answer. It is he who will say if the order is illegal. It is certainly not up to the prefect to say it, it is a total abuse of power for the prefect to decide on his own that the decree is illegal.

In any case, the State, faced with all this, must open its eyes. Can it continue to force small businesses to die while remaining closed? Or can it authorize them to reopen, which will also allow to spread out the clientele, to unbundle it and thus to fight more efficiently against the virus? That's the real question.

Seven months of lockdown and it is frightening to think of how many alternate, learned behaviors have been instilled in people because of it, and those are just the ones we can see. It's hard to imagine how it is effecting thoughts. It is now Pavlovian to put on a mask when entering a business place and to steer a wide berth around people.

The tracing efforts are most sick because they force information from you. The information-gathering effort expands. It's sad to see people capitulating.
