Hi bro! It just came to me whilst listening to Reiner M’s exposition on the covid scam this morning that we may not actually disagree at all about the real situation with covid.
As you know, I lean towards the idea that there is in fact no pandemic at all; just a welter of deliberately-faked ‘tests’ which are not worth the dross under our shoes. But I hear you when you tell me of personal knowledge of people who have been sick, and some who’ve died, apparently of covid-flu.
Now, I never thought that there’s no nasty new flu about; only that it isn’t a pandemic, any more than any other new flu variant sweeping round the world on its way to herd immunity and endemic minor nuisance status is a pandemic in any honest meaning of the word. And neither of us has any problem at all with the idea that people living at or near Third World / Abused and Deprived Eighty Percent (ADEP) status are going to be disproportionately affected even by such relatively minor threats as annual flus - which of course do indeed kill a minority of sufferers every year.
And yes indeed - shamefully - even in Britain there is a smallish hidden underclass of citizens who for all practical purposes are near, or even over, the border between PTP and ADEP. Amongst them, I wouldn’t at all wonder, there could easily be disproportionate suffering even from what are just mild, easily ridden-out illnesses for those in blooming good health. I have met from time to time here in Britain desperate undocumented people who are scraping up a minuscule living, often living on the streets, who seem to me nearly as destitute as street dwellers whom I met in places like Kolkata and Mumbai.
It occurs to me, P, that with your personal and ancestral links, you may perhaps know and be in contact with a larger number of such struggling folk, compared to we sheltered mooncalves of the Pampered Twenty Percent - which means pretty nearly the entire population of Britain.
As you know, I’ve been giving out that I had the covid-flu in late Spring last year, but it keeps occurring to me that I don’t really know that that was actually the covid pathogen. It could have been something else. I only identified it as such because it took me three days to off it with my usual C-storm, rather than the one day it usually takes to see off any early cold/flu symptoms. And it came bang on cue, as I’d been blithely ignoring all the self-isolation hysteria and was going out and about as normal. I got my personal exosome message, passed it to my immune system, and acquired long-term, natural, balanced immunity and non-infectiousness thereby. With thanks! That’s my interpretation, anyway.
Now, I’d been persuaded to take one of the up-yer-nose ‘tests’ by friends, early on before it became clear that the whole thing was a stupid scam. It came back negative, but since the ‘tests’ are literally zero-percent trustworthy, I discount that. So, the doubt lingers in my mind: Did I really get covid…? This prompts me to ask: do you know with any certainty what your contacts have suffered? Was it definitely covid? And indeed, seeing as the only reliable identifier seems to be clinical symptoms in full range, how do any of us know?
Being one of the PTP mooncalves myself, it didn’t occur to me that you might be in touch with people who didn’t have the privileged conditions from which I started when dealing with my encounter with covid. As we both know perfectly well, for people in that ADEP fix, such an infection really could be a life and death matter; and again it would be for a larger percentage of them, simply because of the weakness that deprived living creates in all who endure it.
Just thought: what we’re doing is the ‘blind men describing an elephant’ routine: I’m describing the tail, you’ve got the trunk, both of us are reporting bits of the whole as we find them…? So - no contradiction…? Cheers!
