Bait-&-Switch: How they’ve changed the Covid conversation

It was supposed to be about life and death, but for weeks now we’re only hearing about cases

https://off-guardian.org/2020/08/18/bait-switch-how-theyve-changed-the-covid-conversation

Do you remember five months ago? Normally I wouldn’t ask, but the world is moving incredibly fast these days.

Do you remember that it was predicted that covid19 would kill literally millions of people?

Do you remember that hospitals were going to be over-run with patients and our struggling medical infrastructure was going to collapse under their weight?

Do you remember that locking down global society was the only way to prevent this disaster? That we had to do it, regardless of how much damage it did to the livelihoods and security of countless millions of people?

Final question – do you know how many people in the United Kingdom officially died with (not of) the coronavirus yesterday?

It’s 12.

Twelve people. You probably didn’t hear about that, because sometime in the last five weeks or so the media completely stopped using the word “deaths”, and started talking only about “cases”.

A “case” is anyone who tests positive for Sars-Cov-2, using the notoriously unreliable PCR tests which produce huge numbers of false positives.

Even supposing the positive test is real, the vast majority of “cases” are asymptomatic. Between false positives, unreliable tests and asymptomatic infection, a “case” count for sars-cov-2 is borderline meaningless.

Let’s say there are symptoms AND a positive test, and assume they’re not just a false positive who has a cold or the flu. Well, even the vast majority of the “symptomatic cases” will only ever be mildly ill. In fact of the 6 million active cases in the world, only 1% are considered severely ill. The majority of them will survive.

The CDC estimates the infection fatality ratio of Sars-Cov-2 to be about 0.26%. A number perfectly in line with severe flu seasons. Virtually every country in Europe is now reporting average, or even below average, mortality.

Broadly speaking, the vast majority of the world is, and will likely remain, absolutely fine.

But things aren’t going back to normal, are they? In fact, they are getting worse. The governments have got their foot in the door, and they have no intention of moving it.

Masks are now mandatory in the UK, and Australia, and New Zealand, and Germany and France. And many others. The Democrat’s nominee for President, Joe Biden, has said they should be mandatory in the US as well.

There’s talk of “local lockdown” in Birmingham, because of a “sudden increase in cases”, but we get no details on the numbers are, or if that’s translating into any kind illness, let alone deaths.

The same for Oldham, which is on the brink of a “catastrophic lockdown” thanks to its infection rate of 83 people per 100,000. (Oldham has a population of about 250,000, so that’s about 200 cases.)

Actually, over the last week the UK’s covid death count has reduced by over 5000, thanks to a review which removed duplicates and mistakes (which OffG predicted would happen months ago). The case count is bloated by at least 30,000 duplicates too.

In New Zealand, the patron saint of coronavirus Jacinda Ardern has just postponed next months general election. It’s only a month, for now. But what if there’s a “second wave” in October and they have to postpone it again? Regardless, the precedent is set.

New Zealand has had 1600 cases, total, in 5 months. They haven’t had a reported death since May. But their country is on lockdown and their democracy on hold.

Oh, and they’re shipping positive tests (and their families) off to “quarantine centres”, where if you refuse to be tested, you will be detained indefinitely.

Australia is locking down cities, even imposing curfews, based on 450 deaths.

Every day there are more and more articles discussing the need for mandatory vaccination, or something even worse.

And everywhere the language is changing. “The New Normal” was about beating Covid19, but now it’s about “covid19 and future pandemics”, or the “other colossal challenges facing humanity”….which can mean literally anything they want it to mean.

All this is based on the ever-increasing number of cases, without any reference to the fact deaths are falling.

2017 was the worst year for Coronavirus deaths

2018 was better (less deaths)

2019 was even better (almost back to normal)

2020 will be the 4th wave of COVID and almost unnoticable.

You have t all wrong

Why did we replace the copper telecom network with fiber?

And put all our critical computing infrastructure inFaraday Cagesa.k.a. data centers like AWS?

Another Carrington Event is coming

An EMP to fry all the world's computers outside Faraday cages

And melt the high tension electrical grid

Why has the DOE been pushing neighborhood nuclear power generators

Built in factories that roll in on a semi and set up in a hole in the ground beside your hospital or highschool?

BOOM!!!!

SKY EVENT will be awesome to watch

But you won't be able to photograph it on your phone

Mobile phones worldwide will be fried.

Data Center World Panel Rings Alarm Bells about Electromagnetic Pulse Danger

Calls on data center managers to use their influence with C suite to protect critical infrastructure from EMP attacks by people or sun

https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2015/09/23/data-center-world-panel-rings-alarm-bells-about-electromagnetic-pulse-danger

Data center managers used to be relegated to the bottom floors and only showed their faces when end users experienced computer problems, but things have changed for them. Today, they participate in board meetings and have a tremendous influence on C-level decision makers.

With that in mind, the three panelists who spoke at the Data Center World conference here Tuesday about their growing concern with the potential impact of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack on critical infrastructure called upon attendees to use their influence to bring awareness to a critical issue that could literally “take down our nation.”

“Can you imagine a United States without electricity?” Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, a conservative national security think tank in Washington, D.C., asked the audience.

It may be hard to conceive, but that’s what would happen if the US electrical grid suffered an EMP attack, Gaffney said. If a terrorist or a terrorist nation got hold of a conventional nuclear weapon and detonated it high in the earth’s atmosphere over a specific target, the resulting powerful current would fry and disable all electrical equipment for thousands of miles, he said.

Considering that a “recently translated military doctrine from Iran mentioned EMP as a weapon more than 20 times,” and that the US has already experienced attempts to bring down parts of the grid before, it’s a very real threat, Gaffney said. Besides, if a terrorist doesn’t strike, it’s just a matter of time before the sun does. On July 23, 2014—the second anniversary of a near-miss with a Carrington-class solar storm—NASA reported there was a 12-percent probability one would hit the earth in the next decade.

“Every 850 years solar flares grow very large and one hits us,” Gaffney explained. “The last time it happened, one hit the earth square on in 1859. Do the math. We’re in the zone. Three years ago, one came within a week to where the earth would have been in its rotation.”

“It would, in effect, reduce our technology-based society to pre-industrial modes of communication and subsistence,” he said.
