Coronavirus Fact-Check #2: “The Emergency Powers Will Only Last 2 years!”
Defenders of the Coronavirus Act claim the “extreme measures” are only temporary, but is that true?
Those of us who expressed concern at the scope, content and implications of the Coronavirus Act 2020 were often treated to this simple reply:
“It’s not a police state, the special powers only last for two years!”
This was widely reported in the media and became a go-to talking point for everyone interested in defending the Act.
But is it actually true?
Simply put: No. No it’s not.
Section 89 of the Coronavirus Act 2020 details just how many sections and sub-sections are not subject to the expiry clause. As well as all the “conditions” which, if met, would enable Ministers to waive the expiry clause on certain other sections and regulations.
The list is hugely long.
Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 19(11), 21(7), 59-70, 72-74, 75(1) and 76. As well as parts of Schedules 1, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 through 13.
Fully one quarter (and possibly more) of the entire bill will never expire.
What do these excepted clauses cover?
For starters, sections 11, 12 & 13 grant permanent legal indemnity to the government, and any employees thereof, for any harm done when a patient is being treated for Covid19 or “suspected Covid19”.
With a possible vaccine speeding through the testing phase (or skipping it altogether) this could be important down the line.
Sections 59-70 cover the government’s power to postpone elections and are not subject to the expiry clause.
Section 75 totally removes the cap on government assistance to industry when that assistance is “coronavirus related”.
Section 76 simply says:
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs are to have such functions as the Treasury may direct in relation to coronavirus or coronavirus disease.
Which is peculiarly vague. Whatever it means, it will never expire.
And hanging over all of that is section 89(3):
A Minister of the Crown may by regulations make transitional, transitory or saving provision in connection with the expiry of any provision of this Act.
…which seems to grant the government power to over-ride the expiry of any section of the act, should they deem it necessary.
So, to sum up, no these emergency measures won’t “expire in two years”.
Some of them might expire in 2 years (unless a minister decides they shouldn’t) and others will last forever.

Headline:
Coronavirus: 980 dead in UK hospitals in deadliest day of pandemic yet
Fact – yesterday the deaths in English hospitals amounted to 117 (several others in Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland). The large remainder occurred in the previous two weeks.
Would love if you could point us to your source for that, thanks. A2
The figures are on page 4 of 8 of this live feed from The Guardian:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/apr/10/coronavirus-uk-live-boris-johnson-still-in-hospital-as-public-urged-to-stay-home-for-easter?page=with:block-5e907aa48f082dfd549d4334#liveblog-navigation
The update was posted at 14:22 hrs. To give the full quote:
Note that the figures are for England only, but the deaths in the other three countries of the UK are much lower.
I noticed the same figures were also given in The Telegraph.
Is ‘fake news’ the best way to describe this, what shall we say, phenomenon? Maybe ‘disinformation’, or ‘deliberate misleading’?
Manufacturing consent?
Thanks Alan! A2
The ‘980 dead in the UK’ was item no. 1 in an ABC radio news bulletin this morning (Saturday). It was reported in a way that convinced me that it was the death toll for a single day. When it comes to its UK ‘coverage’, the ABC seldom does facts.
Did you see the ABC’s new tack in deriding hydroxychloroquine? Why, silly people, led astray by the Evil Trump, who obtain hydroxychloroquine (you still need a complicit doctor, but let’s leave that out)are taking it from dear sweet sufferers of lupus and arthritis. And, what’s more, as a flunky from a no doubt BigPharma controlled Chemists’ group, asserted, it will make you go blind (if you don’t have a heart attack first)like all those poor souls who perished or went blind while taking it to ward off malaria, for decades. The ABC is such a bloody sewer of lies, hypocrisy, wretched Groupthink and arrogance these days, that it is actually quite funny.
Do you know any way that we can fact check the claims of health care workers dying of this illness? I think it’s interesting that authorities are spraying something into the air in some cities, claiming to be disinfecting (which is impossible) — but are there more cases after such spraying? There are reasonable claims that outbreaks are related to aerial pesticide/chemical applications. Janine Roberts writes about that in her ‘Fear of the Invisible’ book. That many doctors claimed polio was never a virus, it was a paralysis from chemical poisoning from spraying fruit orchards with pesticides, including DDT. If they are spraying cities to supposedly stop a virus, but are spraying some toxin, then cases are going to increase after spraying. Anyone looking into this?
Can you provide a source for the alleged spraying please
I’m quite sure that these new powers are purely temporary.
Like Nixon temporarily going off the gold standard in 1971.
Or the temporary money printing and temporary negative interest rates in 2008.
I’m sure none of these things will last a moment longer than is necessary.
Paul I am sure you are right. None of these temporary powers will last any longer than the purely temporary introduction of income tax during the Napoleonic War.
jack (jim) and all the other ‘no-epidemic’ groupies: are any of you going to pick up my suggestion to speak to Dr. dan at The Lifeboat News, and to my ex-nurse neighbour, now on stand-by for emergency service, and speaking widely to his colleagues at the actual coal-face right now? (They’ll be crisis-actors, of course. Not!) You know: so that you can get an earful of authentic reports from the front-line in Britain’s hospitals today? Anyone? At all? No, I expect not. Pontification-armchairs too comfortable, I surmise. Once again, try to get it clear: this **isn’t** an either/or situation. Yes of course the gangsters-in-charge are trying it on, big, big time. Why wouldn’t they, in such a hell-sent (or deliberately-organised) opportunity, incorrigible psychopathic scum that they are. And yes, actually something pretty dreadful and clearly beyond the ordinary is also going on in many hospitals in many countries AT ONE… Read more »

What will talking to your ex-nurse neighbour tell us exactly? If she tells us her local ICU is crammed with covid19 patients does this mean we should ignore statistics in favour of her subjective and unverified impressions? What if another ex-nurse then comes along and says “don’t listen to her, the ICU is actually empty”? What do we base our conclusion on then? There’s a reason why anecdote is ignored in scientific studies, and why it features so prominently in propaganda. Regarding your last paragraph can we just point out that hysterical denunciation and faux indignation/outrage is not a substitute… Read more »
It’s a he, not a she, Admin. And I must have not got the memo when it was decided that anecdote – the foundation of all testable hypotheses to be put to test – was excluded as evidence. My nurse buddy has been speaking widely to his sometime colleagues. A collection of eye-witness reportage is simply not dismissable as ‘not evidence’. Sorry to see even the Off-G editorial crew seem to be veering off the rails in this matter. As I keep hammering, the gics’ scams, the impending economic disaster, and and authentic epidemic are NOT mutually exclusive things. They’re all happening together. BTW, I don’t know where you get the idea that the sober descriptions of my medical acquaintance is somehow hysterical denunciation. And – er – where else would you get information about what’s really happening? From official statistics? From official spokespersons? From the internet? And that’s more… Read more »
I too have been warned by medical volunteers on standby that this is a ‘real’ thing. However, they are not on the frontline, yet, and it seems we are in fact referring to third-hand testimony from your friend’s associates.
In my experience, medical workers are not often best placed to distinguish administrative/institutional upheaval – with the many time-consuming safety measures that have to be put in place – from the broader seriousness of, say, a pandemic.
Health services become overrun, this is not a new thing. The workers inside, part of a strict hierarchical system, are rarely in a position to question things objectively, nor does it enter their minds to do so all that much. It is not the way.
I worked in orthopaedic theatres for nearly two years. My opinion is based on this, including the various MRSA protocols we had to adhere to. Just my opinion.
Can’t see anything to disagree with there. But still, what I hear from their grapevine isn’t negligible, I think. And it suggests something out of the ordinary. I should say that I’m not a fan of large, heavily-hierarchical systems such as modern hospital – well, the words machines or factories come to mind. I don’t want to sound partisan for them. And of course I’m aware of the universal fog of uncertainty that hangs around this whole situation, which compels all of us to try to intuit a sound position to take without adequate and fully trustworthy information. It’s just that – on the strength of that gambler’s assessment of the odds – it seems to me too extreme to say that there is simply no epidemic at all. Wait-and-see is unavoidable. When we’ve done that, I’m betting that we shall see that indeed there was. As I often have… Read more »
Seriously want to believe you believe what your saying Rhisiart, the stats disagree with you tho. We aren’t experiencing any higher fatalities than with normal seasonal illness, most hospitals are pretty empty. The stats are doctored cos any death where cv is present is being counted as death from, when it probably wasn’t. The CDC in the US is now saying even SUSPECTING cv is good enough reason to cite it as cause of death, can guarantee the same is happening here.
We have even got to such a stupid stage here, where a traffic accident death here where the deceased had cv, was recorded a cv death. That’s just one we know happened, how many similar?
So that’s a ‘no’ to speaking with the medics who are actually dealing with this thing, then is it? Preferring to trust instead various conflicting numbers generated who knows where and how, and plucked off the internet. Such statistics, together with stray anecdotes of unknown provenance, as we know from long experience, are always reliable, aren’t they? Of course! That would be much more trustworthy than actual frontline eye-witness reports wouldn’t it? Naturally! HowTF did the Off-G comments suddenly fill up with people preferring to believe the comforting false-memes flying about than actually to listen to the people who are dealing with their observed medical realities daily. Off-G has a good record of open-minded scepticism. Now, suddenly, this epidemic of Ickeism amongst its punters: believe whatever fairy-tale feels most ego-satisfying, evidence strictly optional. My suggested action stands, to anyone who can generate the gumption actually to listen to frontline eye-witnesses.… Read more »
Try this thread posted on The Lifeboat News this morning, particularly dan’s post. He’s just making it up, of course. Crisis-actor! That’ll be it:
https://members5.boardhost.com/xxxxx/thread/1586480940.html
You seem awfully naive, Rhisiart. Why the hell not crisis actor? Why the hell not? We’re drowning in these people. Whatever is posted anywhere can always fit “crisis actor”, “controlled opposition”, “sock puppet” – you name it. It can always fit where applicable, however, if all the other available evidence fits “real pandemic” then we can tend to assume all the posts that could fit, in different circumstances, psyop, are, in fact, perfectly genuine. Do you get it? If all the other evidence fits “real pandemic” we can infer that these people are genuine. However, if all the other evidence doesn’t fit “real pandemic” no matter how hard you try to shoehorn it into that hypothesis but perfectly fits the “pandemic exercise” hypothesis then we have to go with “crisis actor”, “controlled opposition”, “sock puppet”, whatever. For an hypothesis to be correct, all the available evidence must fit it. For… Read more »
PS: Message for Petra Liverani: In case you haven’t noticed P, I don’t spend any time reading your posts any more, as I estimate that you have an obssessional complex that makes you sectionably-delusional. Call it ‘False Occam’s Razor Syndrome’, maybe. Sorry. Get psychiatric help.
OK Rhisiart, I’ve read that thread. In fact there is only really one relevant posting (Dan’s). The first one is a link to MSM stories, and you don’t expect anyone from Off-G to take those at face value. And the third one is just politics. Anyway, you are talking about first-hand experiences. OK, so fair enough, it looks like deaths at Dan’s wife’s care-home are up, although as Dan writes “no diagnosis”. What one might call suggestive evidence, but not conclusive of anything, without further information. Can you tell me more about Dan, because in that posting anyway, he doesn’t say who he is, only that he has medical colleagues, so obviously he works in medicine himself, but what as? Sorry, you may have explained this already, but I may have missed it. BTW, what’s his connection to the RNLI? All in favour of the RNLI, btw. My wife is… Read more »
Hi Mike! I suggest that, to avoid me giving probably garbled second-hand information, you register at TLN – it doesn’t commit you to anything and all you have to give is an email address – and then put your questions direct in a post. dan – he never capitalises it – is quick to reply on things that concern him. He can give you exact answers, and it’s clear he’s keen to do that about stuff that he knows. I believe he’s part of an ICU team in a London hospital; but ask. He’s a good bloke, and several of the crew have met with him on convivial pub occasions more than once. If he’s a crisis-actor, then I estimate – as a veteran, 20+ year-apprenticeship-served professional of the actor’s trade myself – that he’s an Olivier-calibre genius at it. Much more likely, though, that he is indeed what he… Read more »
I get that you have implicit faith in dan and are obviously very keen that we follow suit in treating him like an authority. Do you usually invest so much of yourself in fairly anonymous internet entities you have never met in real life? The problem is real mass death doesn’t need to be supported by unsourced anecdotes from dan and his mrs, because it’s already obviously supported by huge spikes in excess mortality that can’t -unlike anecdote – be easily and glibly faked. The mere fact the data continues to show only moderate excess deaths, and to belie the hysterical personal stories is evidence for the unreliability of the latter. And the mere fact the media and the propaganda machine is (like you) focusing on the stories and ignoring the data, makes it clear what we are supposed to believe. And no, anecdote has at no time ever been… Read more »
You’re simply wrong on these points Admin 1. We shall just have to agree to differ. And – er – dan’s not ‘an anonymous internet entity’, that’s just silly talk.
Good to see that you acknowledge at least ‘moderate excess death’ – so something unusual is going on then? And – again – it’s simply wrong to say that anecdote is ‘never’ considered an acceptable form of data. It’s recognised as a common source of testable hypotheses. Where else are they going to come from, if not from reason and imagination inspired by anecdotal data? That’s an old, oft-repeated story.
Not being a member of the Dr dan internet fraternity, I can’t really comment. He certainly has a fan in you, and I’m sure that does him credit.
Not at all unusual no. Excess deaths are currently at about the same rate as 2018.
No, it isn’t.
An hypothesis is not anecdote, it is an idea that can be tested through the scientific method. The scientific method specifically eschews anecdote as evidence. Because it can’t be reproduced, measured or tested.
No, Admin 1, an anecdote isn’t a hypothesis. And it’s not what I said. You quoted my line. Why don’t you read the line again. Where do you imagine original – and dedicatedly-scientific – thinkers get their hypotheses from? Read some of their accounts. They hear an interesting snippet or story – an anecdote – and wonder what might be going on, if it’s true. After some – often extended – meditation around the whole matter, and often after the collection of yet more pertinent anecdotes, they formulate an imaginatively-conceived – and frequently intuition-buttressed – guesstimate of an explanation – the hypothesis – and then devise a pragmatic experiment or twenty to see if it might be supported by the results. Of course, Admin, if you’re temperamentally inclined to be a dawkinsoid, that’s to say: a member of the Philosphical-Materialist Scientism Orthodoxy Police, you won’t like these ideas. But they… Read more »
Rhisiart Before people focus too much on how many elderly people appear to be dying from Covid-19 in care homes, it needs to be put in the context of some GPs apparently refusing to visit elderly patients in those homes, whatever their illness or ailment. This is leaving frail and vulnerable patients without the medical support they need to diagnose, treat and refer to hospital if necessary, and is quite likely leading to deaths that might otherwise not have occurred. The fact that some of these patients, when they die, are presumed to have, or test positive for Covid-19, may well just be incidental to the negligent attitude of some GPs. This reluctance of GPs is not new. I just ‘googled’ ‘GPs refuse to visit elderly in care homes’ and found multiple articles going back several years revealing that GPs have been looking for any excuse not to attend to… Read more »
…and this.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3276760/GPs-refuse-visit-elderly-care-homes-unless-paid-fees-100-000-year.html
Yes, all that sounds entirely likely. Might still be worth visiting The Lifeboat News and asking dan some detailed questions about his wife’s care-home experience. He may be able to confirm what you describe here, or he may be able to offer another perspective in that particular case. You have to ask, to get an answer, though. 🙂
By being a haven for anthropogenic climate denialists you attract a certain crowd.
The traffic accident example – I can well believe it, but do you have a source for that? I ask because I’ve been quoting this to colleagues as an example of how stupid things can get, and some of them queried it.
Cesca, these stats: were they from ‘Shadow Stats’ or some equally trustworthy-seeming source? There are a lot of stat-sources about. And how do we mere sit-at-home, keyboard-tickling plebs tell which are reliable? Personally, knowing with some certainty that ‘official figures’ are often corruptly distorted, at least by Western sources, and quite probably by all of them globally, in these corrupt times, I think I’d be inclined to put greater weight on personal testimony from people whom I’ve learned over extended time to trust, because they’re straight. My neighbour and Dr. dan are two such. To adapt an old joke, who am I going to trust: my buddies’ lying eyes, or the lamestream media and the charivari of bs streaming from them?
The information about how the infection and mortality stats are being recorded is available everywhere, including this website. The authorities are making no secret of the fact they are requiring or advising any death where covid19 is suspected or where a positive test has been conducted should be recorded as a covid19 death even if the decedent died of another cause.
You post a great deal, please try to inform yourself of the basic facts as it would make your contributions a lot more informative.
Odd, Admin 1, that a member of the Off-G team should be exhorting me, suddenly, to trust information put out by ‘the authorities’. You can stake your life on such sources if you like. Not me. These won’t be ‘the facts’ that I’ll be quoting, because I don’t trust them to tell an honest story, especially not at a time like this. We’re all flying blind, especially we sit-at-home net surfers. A good gambler’s sense of what smells like promising odds, when everything is weighed and digested by intuition as well as reason, is much more useful in such a pissmire of institutionalised deceit. Good luck with your faith! 🙂
Er – my bullion-bet offer still stands, btw… 🙂
Rhisiart With apologies, I’m just taking advantage of your posts to make a general observation that has struck me over the past few days. I’ve seen numerous testimonies from doctors on the front line about how unprecedented and extreme the situation is in ICUs. It’s come to my notice that it’s by and large doctors under 30 who have been reporting as such first hand. I think it would give such testimonies more credibility if just one ‘mature’ doctor with many years experience in IC were to tell us the situation was unprecedented. It’s the same with nurses. Not only do the doctors and nurses all appear to be relatively young – some even referred to as junior doctors – but I wonder how many years they have respectively worked on the IC Unit for. As we know from TV documentaries, junior doctors and newly qualified doctors do tend to… Read more »
Sounds an interesting point, Judy. It may well be significant. Unfortunately, I have no inside-knowledge low-down to offer on that. Once again, I can only fall back on my previous suggestion, that people should ask the two medical professionals about whose bona-fides I’m – by now – confident: dan at TLN; and my neighbour. To consult my neighbour, I suppose it would be necessary to get him to visit an Off-G thread and say what he’s garnered, and also to field questions. I can see about arranging that, if there’s enough interest. People wishing to quiz Dr. dan can do that direct by just going to TLN, registering, and posting a ‘question for dan’.
“Sharing ventilators”…
If there’s a lockdown and everywhere’s deathly still, with the cops on the prowl ordering you to stay in and people grassing one another up from behind their curtains, how come there’s a deluge of emergency patients dying in hospitals every day? Where are they coming from? How are they getting to these hospitals? And is anyone who dies in a hospital a covid-19 death?
….. are any of you going to pick up my suggestion to speak to Dr. dan at The Lifeboat News, and to my ex-nurse neighbour, now on stand-by for emergency service, and speaking widely to his colleagues at the actual coal-face right now? (They’ll be crisis-actors, of course. Not!) You know: so that you can get an earful of authentic reports from the front-line in Britain’s hospitals today? Anyone? At all? No, I expect not. Pontification-armchairs too comfortable, I surmise. This anecdotal stuff is dodgy at the best of times. But considering that everyone is on lockdown it’s a huge joke. Yeah sure I’ll pop over and speak to your doctor and your neighbour and I’ll have a little chat with all those colleagues. And I can’t wait to see that mythical coal face everyone is talking about – except that I can’t since I can’t even venture far out… Read more »
No George, it’s not ‘mere’ anecdotal stuff (and since when did anecdotal evidence become mere?). It’s hard reportage from the wards where the pros are working. How is that not crucial information?
Seriously: go and register at The Lifeboat News and ask dan for an account of his recent experiences – and his wife’s, as she works in a old-folks home where deaths are shooting up. That alone should sober up your ideas a touch. Then I might take you pontifications a bit more seriously. Meanwhile, enjoy your ‘no-epidemic’ illusions, whilst they last.
It IS anecdotal and anecdotes must be treated critically. (“I went to Iraq myself and saw Saddam’s massive pile of WMDs!”)
And why do you keep repeating this obviously impossible request:
I am not allowed to go anywhere! Nobody is! We are all stuck “pontificating” in our chairs while watching news reports of skyrocketing figures of the deaths – which we KNOW to be bullshit because they don’t even discriminate between WITH and OF COVID.
The old Hellfire logic: You must believe in Hell because if you don’t. you’ll burn there forever!
If this is the best you can do George – quibbling about the difference between the literal and the metaphoric, I guess that means you’ve run out of any more substantive arguments. If you want to go on speaking – oh alright, writing, if we have to be absolutely literal! – at this level then I shall just have to leave you to burble on to anyone else who will listen – sorry: read.
Direct, eye-witness reportage is not the same as rumoured anecdote. And anyway, anecdotal observations are the root of most testable hypotheses which then lead on to strict experimental testing. When did anecdotals suddenly become inadmissible evidence?
When you’ve conversed – by internet, from your own home – with dan at TLN and heard some of his testimony then I might bother to read what else you want to say – sorry, write!
Till then: byeeeee! 🙂
Well I’m guessing that the distinction between dying OF C19 or dying WITH C19 is now a matter of literal/metaphorical hair-splitting? And as the most recent OffG article says, there are doctors in America who are being told to list a death as a C19 death even if the patient was never tested. Oh well, C19 or not C19? That is a matter of hair-splitting between literal and metaphorical. So we’ll just say C19!
Sickness does not equal viral pandemic. We could be being poisoned from a number of possible sources, from radiation to chemical poisoning. Chemical poisoning could be killing health care workers if they have recently introduced new chemicals for ‘cleaning’ — like the aerosol sprays they are spraying in cities now. Poor people have been dying in third world countries to produce fruit for us for decades, of these chemical poisons. If they have not isolated a virus and can’t show Koch’s postulates, then they are guessing it’s a virus. And that makes big pharma a lot of money. If it’s chemicals, that means we get to shut down Monsanto Bayer. I think the billionaires like their chemical industries and are pushing the virus interpretation, but there has been no virus isolated.
Seriously scary reading, the future the scum is creating is beyond the worst nightmares of Huxley and Orwell. We can’t let it happen, we should be the Masters and they the servants, no way do they have our best interests at heart, only their own!
“beyond the worst nightmares of Huxley and Orwell. We can’t let it happen”
We must not let it happen, but can we?
Difficult. They’ve got people falling over themselves to denounce others as traitors. This is dystopia happening in real time.
Haven’t read the article yet but just the headline alone tells me they can f off with that idea! Just don’t understand how ppl have let themselves be bamboozled by the current bs, i do actually, unless you’re prepared or have time to use critical thinking skills, the current situation just couldn’t happen. Think this virus … well, would like to think this virus is an accidental release from the US biolab, fort detrick. The one in wuhan based at the uni, is merely a research lab, no higher than level 2 as opposed to the level 4 of the closed down fort detrick. Whatever, this virus is causing no excess deaths pretty much anywhere, we’re well within if not lower than the normal fatalities for seasonal illness, new this virus might be, catastrophic it ain’t.

We’re getting information and policies regarding this situation, from the same people who told us that there were WMDs in Iraq and the only solution was to invade and destroy the Iraqi nation.
We’re getting information and HEALTH policies from those who watered down and keep deregulating all safeguards that help us breathe properly and stay in good health; from the same people who are poisoning our air, land and water.
And who fired missiles at Syrian ‘chemical weapons’ facilities and airbases. Acts of war.

Really, O: you believe conspiracies just don’t happen? Are you a coincidence theorist?
I need theories with verifiable facts, then they become conspiracy fact, not fantasy. Sadly there is no shortage of fantasists on the web.
So basically we’re knackered, either because we follow the government and their lies about a non existent virus (??) or we go down the road of the communist or facist countries and live like animals in poverty. Great future either way. I had no problems with my life before this virus, certainly better than under the alternatives.
One empathizes.
I think a lot of people here are going into “NWO” (new world order) fantasy land and need to get a grip. I’ve read all the David Icke books long years ago, and I used to believe in him (or at least give him “the benefit of the doubt”). I’m not going to go into great detail here about him, but on re-reading his books a few years back I noticed a number of things that strangely I didn’t notice the first time round – I suspect because much of the content was so shocking and so cram-packed with nearly indigestible masses of material, that it just overawes people, and you think you are suddenly “having your eyes opened and seeing things as they are for the very first time.” Go on, I bet a lot of people here have had *exactly the same experience* as I just above described.… Read more »

A bit of sense at last. I find most of these conspiracy posts pretty daft, I had a look at some of the Facebook posts on Corona virus and 5g. Most were of the ‘ a friend who works in telecoms’, ‘my cousin who is a nurse’, one for example said they were taking a photo of. 5g mast (perfectly legal and ok), he wouldn’t say where (why not?), when someone from the council came up to him ( why the council?), and told him to stop. All obviously made up, but people believe it. This is the sort of thing that will ruin society.
You can guide a horse to the water, but you can’t make it drink. As it stands, the truth is not surfacing. What unfolds is the next step towards a clearly sorted society. There will be no more elections. You will get your microchip implant – because if you chose not to: you are endangering everybody else. You have already been vaccinated via ‘thunderstorms’ and other weather ‘phenomena’. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his pet ponies are just the beginning. In combination with a tight control over a human being’s own body, some sort of ‘temporary-emergency-ubi’ will leave the populations no other choice than to comply with the attached strings and fine print of any such measures. The individual has now become an irrelevant number with no connections. It can be removed if so desired, or required by authorities. The new virus will not leave planet earth.

Oh, I almost forgot. What about the Skripals having received some Porton Down modified Corona light?
nottheonly1 I think you also forgot that everyone has the ability to say, “No.” And this is a real power.
Individual No’s have no power. They only fear the masses, why do you think they have been slowly & consistently implementing surveillance & privacy laws. Its to stop us organizing a mass NO.
Objective Rosa Parks was an individual who said, “No”.
Ok – the extreme powers are they temporary – no. So what is the reasoning behind the lockdown? Let me share (if allowed?). ‘Feasibility of Controlling COVID-19 Outbreaks in the UK by Rolling Interventions | medRxiv We estimated given that multiple interventions with an intensity range from 3 to 15, one optimal strategy was to take suppression with intensity 3 in London from 23rd March for 100 days, and 3 weeks rolling intervention with intensity between 3 and 5 in non-London regions. In this scenario, the total infections and deaths in the UK were limited to 2.43 million and 33.8 thousand; the peak time of healthcare demand was due to the 65th day (April 11th), where it needs hospital beds for 25.3 thousand severe and critical cases. If we took a simultaneous 3 weeks rolling intervention with intensity between 3 and 5 in all regions of the UK, the total… Read more »
What? Talk about mad scientist (not you the author).
Ok i didn’t really manage to digest much of that, but what i see is the omission on the consequences of their mitigation strategy, i.e. economy & health of the entire nation to save the lives (mostly) of people likely to die within 18 months anyway of existing health conditions.
Oh there is research on the mitigation strategy too. I’ll tell you in a mo’ but first these people you write off with blasé – MOST wouldn’t be likely to die in the next 18 months! Most will have many years – including my one lunged friend who is 69! Get a grip. Right the correct strategy would be, to put it simply, do a rolling extension of herd immunity by letting people get infected in a controlled manner. …… ‘…Adaptive cyclic exit strategies from lockdown to suppress COVID-19 and allow economic activity | medRxiv We use mathematical models to show that a cyclic schedule of 4-day work and 10-day lockdown, or similar variants that can be adapted in response to epidemiological observations, can in certain conditions suppress the epidemic while providing part-time employment.

Yes their mitigation strategy looks like a liberal wet dream, control, manage, ignore natural process, bankrupt the country, kill thousands more through neglect, depression & cruelty.

Do you really buy this BS?
The press and government enquirers are so talented at not asking the questions that need to be asked like like How is the prime minister today minister? This is what needs to be asked: Is this similar to most flu virus outbreaks, in its spread and severity ? Are the overall death rate totals going to be comparable with regular seasonal flu outbreaks ? How many of our hospitals are still empty of Covid victims ?. Are doctors counting deaths as Covid without a test, when people clearly died of other causes? You have destroyed a very fragile British economy, so how many lives have you saved to justify that, if any? Have you calculated how many will now die early due to cancelled hospital treatments and a wrecked economy? You have introduced warrantless surveillance on all British citizens, how does that help in the ‘fight against a flu like… Read more »
None of those questions will be asked. The MSM ‘reporters’ are rubbish. I wonder, are their questions at that daily press conference pre-approved?
Of course the questions are pre approved, exactly the same as question time…
It’s the same thing in Canada. Not a single question of basic critical thinking posed by the press to the government. It’s manufacturing consent.
I gave up with the daily no 10 updates, its a sham. Evidently the purpose of mentioning the “healthy young deaths” is pure propaganda,fear mongering to keep people indoors.
I saw one rag claim a woman died of cv19 giving birth, wouldn’t that terrify you if you were an expectant mother or father?
Next up in the same rag… “Mother gives birth to CV19”
And can anyone tell me just the the heck a Tiger catches CV19, surely such an animal is in isolation due to it’s appetite for flesh of any type

I can just imagine a constable asking if that dildo is an essential purchase.
The Coronavirus Act 2020 Part 2 Section 90 states that a national authority (ie, a minister of the Crown) may by regulation alter the expiry date. It also states that a national authority (ie, minister of the Crown) may by regulation alter any power. Section 90 gives the government the power to do anything, forever. The Coronavirus Act 2020 is our Enabling Act 1933. The difference is in Germany in 1933 there was substantial organised opposition to the implementation of fascism; whereas, here there are only unorganised, isolated voices.
Another front page story in the local paper here in Aberdeen where a 45 year old postman dies of Covid19. His partner said. “They didn’t test him but they said they are 100% sure that’s what he had, and I spoke to the registrar yesterday and on his death certificate it says “presumed Covid19.”
Where was this statement published? What we/ someone should be doing is collating all the lying barstewards figures.. I am sick and tired of hearing about it now. I totally despair for the future of my family. Daughter already acknowledges that they are all going to be chipped, which will contain ALL information, and realises that without one her boys will not have access to the right education, be allowed to work or have access to any money.

I am surprised that some of what I assumed were the most intelligent of the alternative media are falling hook line and sinker for this virus scam, and don’t appear to be questioning anything despite the facts contradicting most of what is being said in the media. Maybe they were also controlled opposition or are just a bit slow on the uptake.
I think many are keeping their powder dry. That’s what’s I’m hoping, anyway. To question the madness could have the effect of being lumped in with the ‘conspiricists’ and lead to de-platforming. Perhaps self-serving on one hand but pragmatic on the other.
Jack(Jim) added to which of course, by now, the whole thing should be relegated to an ordinary news item. I have to ask why the MSM, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 have this as the sole item of news on the news so to speak. It is hyping hysteria, fuelling fake news, promoting false figures and false science. It shouldn’t be something that is dominating the news still the way it is doing. Of course there is a lot more to this than meets the eye – the Government really are political point scoring. A good Leader of the Opposition would have demanded that Parliament reconvene as a matter of urgency. There is no need for the Lock Down to continue – but they are about to announce that it will be. Hello Fascist Totalitarian State.
Or maybe the hospitals really are coping with something out of the ordinary, as so many front-line medical staff keep saying…? One of the alt-media sites that I follow is run by a doctor, in his spare time, and his reports, and the conversations he’s been having with fellow medics indicate incredulous outrage that anyone should suggest that nothing unusual is happening, whilst they’re up to their – often unprotected – necks in it. Who are you going to believe: the professionals on the front-line, sending back their reports of daily experiences, or the weird tribe of key-board theorists – such as seem to be rather numerous at Off-G just now? Of course the gangsters-in-charge are going to seize any chance that comes up to thumb us down and to increase their own WealthPowerStatus. Cela va sans dire. But there really is something nasty – and unusual going on in… Read more »
He must be accustomed to the NHS being in crisis by now, because it happens almost every year. Did he tell you that in 2018 it was far far worse than now or that more people died then, than will die during this outbreak ? no, I didn’t think so. The numbers of dead for this year will be much lower than in 2018, but you will not be around to apologising for the destruction of the would economy.
Next time you speak to him ask him if he is attributing people as Covid when they died of other illnesses.
Why don’t you go to The Lifeboat News and put your theories to him yourself, jim. His posting-name is dan. He will – of course – slaughter your amateur arm-chair theorist’s chop-logic with his detailed frontline experience and his detailed, time-served, experienced knowledge of the subjects involved.

This is what it must have felt like to live in the Soviet Union.

Here in the UK, about a week or so ago, the Government launched an appeal for an army of the willing public to be recruited voluntarily whose role would be to support our NHS by being available to deliver, prepared food, groceries or prescription meds to the housebound elderly, infirm or vulnerable. All very Cameronesque Big Society schtick. The appeal initially asked for 250,000 volunteers. I believe that this figure was swiftly surpassed, and it was over 400,000 within a couple of days. It’s now somewhere around three quarters of a million. That is a large army of willing hands, driven by an altruistic leaning, and humanistic desire to help their fellow men in a time of need. Personally, I have a slight nagging doubt, that this army of the publicly willing won’t be manipulated to serve other aims and agendas. They represent quite a prize and don’t cost a… Read more »
When they start to give this army ‘special powers and a structure to report on people, then you know they are recreating a Stasi army. Perhaps even a little card to show they are part of the salvation army of angles. So easy to do.
The great philosopher and alleged CIA operative Alex Jones always used to say of the CIA, if it works they will keep using it, over and over again until it doesn’t, and I believe him. To me the way this virus event has unfolded has so many similarities to the other major ‘events’ of the last 10 years. Like the Global warming campaign, the anti-socialist antisemitism campaign and also Brexit, all slightly different operations but essentially run in the same way. I’m sure there are parallels to be drawn with the CIA operations in the Ukraine, Venezuela and other parts of south American. They all have a media shut down to block alternative opinion, like there was a blanket D-notice across the whole country and now even the world perhaps via 5 eyes. They all had illusive, flawed & misleading evidence, which keeps disappearing and morphing as required to justify… Read more »

“And at the moment in most parts of the world due to lockdown most of the transmission that’s actually happening in many countries now is happening in the household at family level. In some senses transmission has been taken off the streets and pushed back into family units. Now we need to go and look in families to find those people who may be sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner.”
Pray that your wives and kids don’t get a cold anytime soon.
The WHO is the new Vatican. Bill Gates the Pope. And the Inquisition against heretics is in full swing.

At the same time, governments are giving themselves immunity from prosecution in case of stuff-ups. Many healthcare related checks and balances steadily being removed.
Laws changed without any debate. No opposition. Nobody is allowed to leave home and protest!
This is alarming, but there is nothing to raise the alarm with!

The death figures will keep going up – even beyond seasonal norms – whilst the medical profession is being instructed to get DNR signatures from people who would normally have been resuscitated. The cov19 death figures will continue to go up whilst the medical profession is instructed to label all death certificates as such – even in absence of ( crappy) test results ie if patient displayed symptoms or they’d been in contact with someone else that had it. Use a test that doesn’t work AND is artificially rationed. Close doctors surgeries so every other serious underlying illness is more likely to be hospitalised putting hospitals under more stress and more DNRs to be signed. A perfect storm.

This does offer a political party the opportunity to garner votes by promising to ‘Repeal the Coronvirus Act’.
That is how you get it off the statutes.
A simple guillotined motion, 3-line whip, by a majority government.
If it can be passed in an afternoon, it can be repealed in an afternoon.
maybe, in an ideal world – but the brand new, spankingly good and gleaming labour party only want to co-operate with the government – Starmer has a massive history of collusion with spooks – so I don’t think anything like this will happen – opposition – what opposition?
I cannot see where any political opposition to fascism in the UK will come from
Have they purged Labour of the 500,000 ‘antisemites’ yet?
Richard Le Sarc, not yet but it’s Starmer’s major priority it would seem!! Have you read the letter he sent to the President of the Board of Deputies. It’s a disgrace, a true disgrace. We need a combative Leader of the Opposition at this point (like Corbyn was which is why he was so destroyed by the MSM). Starmer, I call him Stooge Starmer, a Zionist and a political opportunist. Given he was a Human Rights Lawyer you would have thought he would ask for an urgent recall of Parliament to review the Coronavirus Bill given that the police are misusing it. Greater Manchester Police reported they had to break up 660 parties at the weekend. Why I ask myself? They were in their own homes. I guess the Police in Greater Manchester don’t have anything better to do.
Sorry I only read down so far – looks like the following comments all made my point!
You can never do enough grovelling to our Zionist masters.
There was a story, one of scores that we get shoved down our throats, unceasingly, on the ABC yesterday, about a ‘Holocaust survivor’ who had reached 100. He seemed a doughty, undemented, happy chap, who had survived Hell, then lived a long life. But in the pictures of his youth, was one of him with Menachem Begin, the self-declared ‘ Father of Terrorism’. A bit like a 100 year old German with an old picture of him hobnobbing with Heydrich. Just part of the unremitting brain-washing.
They even launched a hysterical anti semitism witch hunt against Ken Loach who was to judge an anti racism essay competition for school kids on behalf of a charity.
The usual suspects – The Board Of Deputies and Labour Friends Of Israel approached any club or organisation connected to this charity demanding they dump Loach as a judge for this competition.
No. It didn’t end with Corbyn. Anyone who supports Palestine in any way will be tarred and feathered as an anti semite. It will go on and on because these thugs and bullies and gutless snivelling cowards will not allow anyone to publicly support Palestine.
Apologise for going off topic. I just read about that in a story written by Jonathan Cook on the smearing of Ken Loach.
Read Cook’s excellent article, too. Political Zionists who represent no one but themselves, together with their media and political cronies, are holding an entire society to random. Stand up for yourselves, anti-racist Brits!
Should see the Times of Israel report celebrating his election as Likud leader.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/keir-starmer-elected-uk-labour-chief-apologizes-to-jews-for-party-anti-semitism/
Funny how they have the same style if colours and even the begging wordage as our very own ‘the Groaniad’.
When you see someone like Corbyn destroyed over the false meme of anti-semitism driven by a media singing with one voice and which (apart from his Brexit stance) probably singularly destroyed his campaign. Then you see almost the same effect causing Boris Johnson to u-turn over night regarding his stance on CV19 you know there are larger forces at work.
A slight glimpse of the hidden hand of who really runs this country.
Anyone daring to go up against the current meme will only face the same opprobrium. Its not the puppets we should going after but the puppeteers.
Lets be fair Corbyn did nothing to halt the lunacy of identity politics, the reality is he just turned out to be a disappointment.
Our Zionist masters just throwing their weight about as usual.
A long and highly detailed document, question, when was it initiated? Presumably well prior to coronavirus breakout?
Parallel – ‘Patriot Act’.
Cassandra 2 – food for thought. Someone on OffG did say that the Government clearly were ready because in less than half a day apparently, they produced a 370 page detailed piece of Legislation which they slipped through Parliament in an afternoon. l don’t think Parliamentary Draftsmen can draft this kind of Legislation in months let alone an afternoon. Yep Patriot Act parallel.
JO Dominich The emergency legislation, which became the Coronavirus Act 2020, was prepared after the 2016 exercise that looked at what would happen if there was a pandemic. The exercise found that the NHS would be overwhelmed, so the government ignored NHS lack of capacity and instead drafted legislation to give the government unlimited powers.
Government needs martial law powers when the deep state Central Ineptitude Agency decides to launch bioweapons & covert war psyops against competition.

I ask every virologist out there if they can send me a link to a scientific paper that proves the virus was isolated from multiple cases and purified.I don’t even ask about the est of Koch’s postulates.
I get sent photos of a virus that I must take at face value, yet they could be exosomes. I get spike protein sequences. Everything but a simple paper proving there are multiple instances of an isolated and purified virus.
Note: you will be ridiculed and blinded with fake science (gotta love Thomas Dolby). Just keep asking them, don’t give up. I never got an answer to this simple binary question, simply because they can’t be honest. Admitting there is no virus means all funding goes down the drain.

It’s interesting that one of the people listed as an author on the first listed SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence, MN908947, is Edward C. Holmes, evolutionary biologist and virologist, and since 2012 a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Australia Fellow and professor at the University of Sydney. This is the person who said of a Chinese research team’s conclusion that the Chinese cobra and many-banded krait were reservoirs of the virus, “It’s complete garbage.” This is not how a high-ranking scientist would speak of a research team’s work publically.

Hi Petra, You should always ask all those who really insist that any variant or ‘mutation’ of this alleged ‘pathogenic’ Cornavirus physically exists to come up with the original scientific paper that actually demonstrates the FACT, with the name of the scientist who claims to have identified it, when and where at, and who funded the research and then ask how it was isolated with all the full experimental details. Which means isolation and purification by methods other than by paying lip service to serology or PCR assays, or reference to GenBank sequences that allegedly derive from the genomes of isolated viruses which you can never prove they have really isolated those viruses, because you cannot get the original papers (and I don’t just mean references to such papers). The only way to prove coronavirus or any of its alleged ‘mutations’ is by the criteria that I have specified on… Read more »
Alternatively, genome sequencing doesn’t necessarily imply the virus is isolated and that testing will work to identify it. This is a combined comment from Tony and VirusGuy. The ‘gold standard’ in testing for COVID-19 is laboratory isolated/purified coronavirus particles free from any contaminants and particles that look like viruses but are not, that have been proven to be the cause of the syndrome known as COVID-19 and obtained by using proper viral isolation methods and controls (not PCR that is currently being used or Serology /antibody tests which do not detect virus as such). PCR basically takes a sample of your cells and amplifies any DNA to look for ‘viral sequences’, i.e. bits of non-human DNA that seem to match parts of a known viral genome. The problem is the test is known not to work. It uses ‘amplification’ which means taking a very very tiny amount of DNA and… Read more »
Really interesting. Could be a piece in that! Do get in touch if you’d care to share your experiences. A2

Neo-liberal capitalism is THE zombie. It’s dead, no more, gone to God, pushing up the daisies etc, but with unceasing injections of money, it is kept lurching about, infecting everything it touches.
Why prison? These blood-sucking parasites have leeched for long enough. The French had a better idea … le guillotine
I wonder if Louis N. Proyect is going to post a comment comparing Off Guardian to the Extreme Right?
Probably. Nowadays being accused of being extreme right is almost a vice. Strange times.
Let’s face it – none of us knows the real truth about what is going on, or at least have not been able to convince me they do, but I’ll give it my best shot at what makes most sense to me. China has had a big problem with President Trump they never had anywhere near as serious before he was elected. With a man as mercurial as President Trump, they can’t be sure even nuclear attack is not sooner or later on the cards. Nobody really knows for sure the military capability of America. If they had the intelligence and technology to take out all of China’s nuclear facilities, so they could initiate a first strike knowing there was little chance of retaliation, or even had developed still secret technology that could neutralise China’s likely comparatively primitive nuclear arsenal in comparison to what America has got, China cannot assume… Read more »

I suspect that you’re in awe of psychopaths. STOP!
We are many and they are few, why would you want to believe that ‘they’ are going to miraculously change?
The ‘PC media’ does not exist, they are a fantasy created by the six large corporations that own and run the vast majority of US media outlets. They act as part of a faux opposition to maintain the illusion of a democracy, but essentially act in the interests of the military corporate complex that owns them. You are right to say we do not know the USA’s military capacity, and in many areas they have fallen behind Russia in missile defence systems (S-400), in hypersonic ICBM’s and in fighter aircraft, where the F35 is looking like an expensive turkey. I personally think they have rightly chosen to use US tech & the controlled media as their weapons of choice now, staging such operations as 9/11, Brexit, Global warming, Antisemitism charges and now fake viruses as their weapons. They work so well and at less financial cost, but you can achieve… Read more »
US ‘calculations’ are driven by racist and Orientalist contempt for the ‘mere Asiatics’. It will kill us all, of course.
FFS 1 learn to precis! Even crap can be precised.
You render the rest of your persiflage nonsense by calling Beijing ‘Peking’. Long Live the White Man’s Burden!
as now and previous to this Corap ? – we had Overlords , confidence tricksters, prevaricators deceivers, theives and psychopaths, vile oppressors of the people who It used to increase its Power – to advance itself toward this inevitable apex where the culmination of generations of its slaves would reach the end of their usefulness, all that history, perhaps, are looking down, watching their offshoots – tucked away in their homes, munching on snacks , playing the playstation and watching the latest thrilling boxset….waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more……..and “For What” exactly ? ! ? ! ?
Short answer? … because THEY could.
Extended … because we, the fickle, self-indulgent, greedy, easily polarized, overzealous, fother mucking sheeple … allow them to.
We’re all guilty …
welcome to 1984.
“What IS clear is that powerful global interests, including members of the World Economic Forum, are using this time of disruption and desperation to try and push through many elements needed to implement their Fourth Industrial Revolution program. This includes global digital currency, smart biometric surveillance, wearable technologies, online education, and tele-presence labor including tele-medicine and tele-therapy. All of this is happening against a back-drop of increased policing, diminished labor and environmental protections, and 5G infrastructure installation.”

A very eloquent and accurate answer… I’d love to know what you have to add to this… Our Economy Is Way More Sick Than Us! :: https://www.wilddigital.co.uk/our-economy-is-way-more-sick-than-us/
America’s “Patriot Act” was also supposed to be a temporary measure – yet almost two decades later it has been renewed yet again. Even with the Democratic Party having a House of Representatives majority AND having spent three years telling us that the Orange One is literally a “Russian agent,” and a “Putin puppet” – they of course didn’t stand in the way of yet again extending our “official” doctrine of unending police state spying operations and the “cognitive infiltration” of web sites that oppose government policies. I’m just waiting for my “thought crimes” to be officially added to the list of punishable offenses.
You should listen to the Jimmy dore show.

I check Jimmy daily jack(jim) – thanks. His buddy Graham is doing an interview with Whitney Webb today that is worth listening to also – at the Political Vigilante on youtube.
Wolgang Wodarg’s Website:
http://www.wodarg.com
has been offline all day.
It was back for a bit. Seems it’s offline again, I concur. A UK change.org petition contesting the CV Act, with almost 200,000 signatories, was recently disappeared without word.
Really, whether or not they have isolated a dangerous virus, and whether or not any antibody tests are ever conducted on sample populations (you’d have thought this would be useful data if we’re risking future outbreaks by ‘flattening the curve’, wouldn’t you?), and whether or not we’re truly witnessing anything here other than usual global excess mortality in flu season,….. coronavirus is clearly doing a grand job of masking a lot of unacceptable shit from a lot of people.
In that sense, it is every bit real. And deadly.
But this can easily be a propaganda measure to make us think that Wolfie is 100% genuine. While like much controlled opposition he delivers quite an amount of truth I think there is evidence suggesting that he is, in fact, controlled opposition and making his site offline simply helps to promote his credibility. Psyops always have the following two characteristics: 1. They give us clear signs that the event is a psyop. 2. They do not fake anything so well that it can be brandished by someone who believes their story in support of it. A third characteristic is generally present too. 3. A separate stream of propaganda targeted to the skeptics and for this propaganda “controlled opposition” and other measures will be used. They want both the masses and the skeptics to believe in, at least, the existence of a “novel” virus but there is zero evidence of it… Read more »

Exactly so they finally get their hands on the Henry VIII powers!
I can guess which national crises they will be deployed on immediately following the cuurent excuse they have been smuggled in on.
There have been several comments throughout different threads describing how it is almost impossible to reason with people concerning this press-induced mass hysteria. With the walking dead who are consumed with fear it is of course truly impossible to talk rationally about it at all and we who try are described as uncaring, deniers etc. But others have described failing to convince their friends or even family members, presumably decent people who just watch too much TV. These otherwise reasonable people are oblivious to the facts about the true nature of the virus or the amplification of the death figures, nor the opinions of specialists posted in Off-Guardian. No, they are brainwashed by the constant drumbeat of paid experts on the BBC. So an alternative strategy has occurred to me. The idea came from reading a piece by Rob Slane at theblogmire.com. Don’t even mention the facts, the lies, or… Read more »
How did it work in Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany because that is how it is in the UK now. We need to stop expecting rational discussion in our country we only have propaganda now. Discussion is 98% locked down, we have lost our free speech. There is only one establishment figure of any note who has been brave enough to take the liars on, Peter Hitchens is the only man questioning this.
That, unfortunately, might not work. It is know through Terror Management Theory (whic is essentially what this campaing is following: increasing death salience) that when the prospects of probable death (real or imaginary) increases, people-regardless of their previous beliefs- turn ultra-conservatives prioritizing “safety” (real or imaginary) above all other things.
In that enviroment + the long-time decay of humanistic values in society, appeal to ‘decency’ will be rejected on same grounds that logic is.
let’s see how safe people feel when they lose their jobs and become homeless. at which point it will be too late for them, but when it happens on a sufficiently large scale, other people might start to notice.
Which is where humour steps in. Very useful for introducing perspective in difficult situations.
Logic is left brain. Humour bypasses that.
I found Trumps comments yesterday very worrying, although couched in concern, about the number of African Americans who were being disproportional affected by this virus in the USA. This was, as is always the case, substantiated in the UK, by the BBC’s News at One programme only 24 houses later.
I’ve always thought it odd that the Aids virus appeared to disproportional target the enemies of the American conservative far-right, but there are hints that the Covid virus might be targeting Black Americans now in the US too.
They are probably carrying more pre existing conditions and are not medically insured. Ghettos have never disappeared.
Indeed, you would probably find that matched by the incidence of T.B.
DunGroanin, Yep that is very true as the UN Report found. People living next to open sewers, the extent of deprivation in many communities so shocking as to be lower than in many third world countries. They also found excessive levels of deprivation here due to austerity and Universal Credit.
But it’s for our own good!
LOL
Ah Paola – Laugh away – I always run a mile when someone tells me they are doing something for their own good!! On a more serious note though, it is internationally known that those who die of the virus are 80yrs+ old – i.e. the elderly. Well, here in the UK elderly people who are relatively fit are receiving letters from their GPs asking them to sign Do Not Resuscitate forms if they’ve got CV19. Of course, you could collapse from a stroke or heart attack or something when you call 999 but this obsession with CV19 is fuelling medical euthanasia and probably, yes, Eugenics, something very central to the heart of this Tory Government. So, the NHS are saying elderly patients will not be admitted to hospital but will have to remain at home and suffer; they are, you see, not worthy of treatment. Residential Homes are reporting… Read more »
