NetFlix is fun
I've only recently begun a NetFlix subscription, so forgive my late excitement on the Crown, who knew Doctor who was the current Queen's father?
And now I've moved on, past many fun, fun shows (some of which I've seen before including Mad Men, and my husband is addicted to this one now) to The Roman Empire. As I am encased in my home, working from home, living from home, suffering from home, I watch Roman Empire at night as I complete grading for the day.
In 40 some BC, the loss of the Roman Republic occurs. It isn't until 1775 AD when a new republic is formed, the United States of America.
Here we are in 2020 AD and a power struggle (that has been looming for decades) is at a head.
Using "health" as a fear tactic, people are shuffled into isolation, cut off from family, friends. Schools are closed, businesses shuttered. In isolation, people are force-fed a diatribe of news feeds that are so far from unbiased it's rather sad as a demonstration of how journalism had died. Not a unique thought, idea or story.
Science, is far stronger than "health" and has proven time and time again the useless effect of face masks (findings, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, suggest that neither surgical nor cloth masks are at all effective in stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
That school closures are not only ineffective against disease, but also destructive to society. And the losers are the children as the selfish older generation ignore their pleas for a normal childhood. Again, science shows the school closures as an utter failure and useless measure. to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, many countries had instituted large-scale or national closure of schools by March, 2020. These actions appear largely based on assumptions that the benefits apparent in influenza outbreaks are also likely to be true for COVID-19. There are several theoretical reasons why school closures might be less effective in COVID-19 than in influenza outbreaks. Children contribute more to influenza transmission than do adults,25 with low levels of immunity and high levels of transmission due to symptomatic disease. However, in the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, children appear to form a much lower proportion of cases than expected from their population. In some previous coronavirus outbreaks, evidence suggested that transmission in schools was very low or absent.27 Although children appear to contract infection at the same rate as adults, they largely have mild or asymptomatic forms of the disease and appear to be less likely to spread the virus through coughing or sneezing; however, a precise understanding is as yet lacking. Notably, analyses using UK clinical data from the 1957 Asian influenza pandemic suggest that school closures would reduce the epidemic size by less than 10% when the R was similar to that of COVID-19 (ie, 2·5–3·5).48 Reviews also note that the benefits of school closure might be less than what have been assumed or modelled, as social contacts between children and between children and adults continue as part of informal childcare and non-school gatherings of children and young people.11 This conclusion is a particular concern for COVID-19, with its higher mortality among older people, as around 40% of the UK's grandparents provide regular childcare for their grandchildren.49
People in this disgusting age appear to me to be those who cherish the ideals of history in a very sad way. They want someone to tell them what to do every day, every moment, and to be lazy the rest of that time. They want the government to raise their children, because, they can't possibly make a breakfast, lunch or dinner for their child using WIC, SNAP, or EBT. They need more, more more more more more more. They need the boys and girls club to pick up their child at 6:30 in the morning, take them to breakfast, school, after-school activities, dinner and the deliver the child at 7:30pm at night. They need food packages delivered over the weekend, such a struggle, when the parent has the kids for two days.
These are the people who want to kill the US republic. Who want a dictator to rule their lives and raise the babies they are too lazy to be involved with.
You want Caesar? Well, Biden is not that man. He may be more akin to the months Caligula spent in a coma.
Blogs are funny in that you seem to blog out feelings, thoughts and it gets a little muddled. Therefore I feel the need to sum up here: I have a PhD in Molecular Microbiology. I am certain the reaction in the US to "Covid" is political rather than scientific. I am absolutely certain. I am so certain it is scary. I can provide all sorts of data and point out the epidemiological errors in the CDC reporting that (by the way) is changed almost daily to adjust for outliers. Every two weeks they change their reporting standards and, if you are not on top of it, you would miss the blatant excuses they are making for their previous reporting and that they are now counting in their numbers all: COVID 19 include; influenza-like-symptoms, probable COVID including a cough and temperature but not laboratory confirmed, and any pneumonia-like patients who may have a temperature and/or cough.
I didn't vote for Trump in the last election.
I will now.
The democrats have shown their hand. They want power, just power. They don't care about any of us. They never have and never will. They want a communist state. I don't want that. I want to live my life. I want my freedoms. Covid is a ploy, a power stroke. If you think I am wrong, look at the actual papers I've linked here. Those are peer-reviewed scientific papers.
It's time. Now. To grow up or get out.
If you want to be controlled, this is not your home.
If want your freedom, this is the time to fight for it. The state, the feds have No Right to close your business, to close your home, to lock you down. You do not have to Lie Down when they say you do. You are not their pet dog.
Quarantine only works under two circumstances: (1) You have a vaccine and subject the world to it (this is how we rid the world of small pox) (2)You have an effective treatment (we have effective HIV treatments to prevent the spread and the progression to AIDS). If you have neither, as in the case of the yearly cold virus epidemic, then quarantine is not only ineffective, it is detrimental to the progress of the virus leading to a longer progression time. SARS 01 effected the US in 2002. The virus "disappeared" in 2012. Shall we quarantine for 10 years?? Ridiculous.
The current "hype" is political and nothing more than a bad cold and virus season. The deaths are not even close to the yearly deaths from Influenza alone.
Pathetic.
