Suddenly, Covid was going to be ten times as deadly.
They got their IFR and CFR mixed up and multiplied the likely impact of Covid by a factor of ten.
I don’t expect you or I to get this sort of thing right. But I bloody well expect the "experts" to do so. They didn’t.
Sometime between Feb. 28th and March 11th, the narrative changed. In only 11 days, the same 'experts' changed their tune entirely from reason to wrong, horribly, catastrophically, running-into-Mars-at-5,000-miles-an-hour wrong.
This is no mistake, no way, no how. Impossible.
Lockdown achieved, almost precisely nothing with regard to Covid. No deaths were prevented.
Never in history has medical terminology been so badly mangled. Never have statistics been so badly mangled.
Covid was never going to kill more than about 0.1 percent – max.
We locked down in fear. We killed tens of thousands unnecessarily, in fear. We crippled the economy, and left millions in fear of their livelihoods, trapped abused women & children at home with their abusers, wiped out scores of companies, and crushed entire industries.
Lockdown can be seen as a complete and utter disaster. And it was all based on a nonsense, a claim that Covid was going to kill one percent. A claim that can now be seen to be utterly and completely wrong.
Let’s end this ridiculous nonsense now.

It's time to break out your superpowers, my friends. Human capacities your adversary is not equipped with, these are your weapons.
The biggest is Creativity, they have none, can only copy and mimic and invert another's. Humans are naturally endowed with extraordinary creative powers, just look at all the things we've come up with. Exercise it, create something-anything, even if it's serves no purpose.
And humor actually. They are devoid, obviously when you see their attempts. It's just more lame mimicry. I think as deprogramming tools go, comedy it is the most accessible and effectual. Done right, it can humanize, and unify, as laughing together is immensely healing.
There's been a systematic effort over decades to dehumanize people. Recognize it. "Identity" issues are a big one, labeling ourselves, black, white, gay, straight, liberal, conservative, personality types, etc & everything in between (always more), they all serve to dehumanize.
It's really gone into overdrive with identity politics & a bazillion genders. When ya hear the word, "identity" or speak, "I identify as.." Stop. Just stop. Identity is the artificial replacement for an individual. An individual is a WHO, an 'identity' is a WHAT, a thing, an it.
It's important, as cruelty is the result of dehumanization. And these masks are a huge leap in that direction. Your brain can't help it, a faceless being becomes less human.
If you want to see more kindness in the realm, you must reject anything and everything that dehumanizes.
