The Danger of Polarisation
The middle ground offers the least amount of danger, overall. Total lockdown has to be temporary. It is analogous to repairing a car, you have to turn the engine off. But to drive the car, you have to have a running motor. Too rapid or even total exposure would overwhelm our health systems, fill hospitals …
Covid-19 Who Should Wear a Mask?
Mask use has gone from nearly 0% to nearly 100% for those who have to go out and share airspace with others. Mask use has been normalised in China but was seen as weird or paranoid in the West, perhaps. Even President Trump said that he would not be wearing a mask, probably ensuring his …
Covid-19 prevention of infection
Isolation give the virus nowhere to go, but people need to go shopping and precautions are 100% necessary. During the entire expedition to the supermarket, do not touch your face, hair or anything. Best to wear disposable gloves and take them off when you get back into your car. Be aware of what is inside …
Corona USA
I fear for the health of Americans. So quick to claim how perfect they are in their response to the pandemic, so harsh on the response of their rivals, so quick to shutter their borders, so lax in controlling the spread internally and the result of the President's leadership? Right-wing cult followers of the Trump …
Progress of the Virus
What the numbers mean? Italy has about 5,000 new infections per day, it was about 8,000, so that has started to reduce based on their actions to isolate and confine the spread, which is a slow way to reduce the virus, but may be the only way until a vaccine can be used. The death …
Mutation incubation
The UK policy of allowing the spread of the Coronavirus Covid-19 to leave behind 'herd immunity' sounds cruel and heartless and therefore appeals to the heart of Government. It is the kind of pseudo-intellectual postulated science that Dominic Cummings would approve of, the practise of 'natural eugenics' at work, to thin down the population to …
Pandemic Panic
The coronavirus, Covid-19 has spread to about 50 countries in a few weeks. The WHO does not want to call it a 'Pandemic' yet, maybe because the term is thought to induce panic, and therefore the uncontrolled spread of this highly infectious respiratory disease which can induce pneumonia and in some cases is fatal. It's …
Dominic Cummings
In The Guardian, Dominic Cummings' views from 2014 are explored that he thought it highly likely that generic engineering would enable the selection of the highest IQ from a range of fertilised ova, and this ability should be extended on the NHS so as not to breed a race of super-intelligent offspring exclusively for the …
Iran
The Iran Revolutionary Guard, the Quds Force, and whatever paramilitary organization that may exist in Iran were all influenced by the assassinated general Soleimani. Some of them directly depended upon his wisdom and strategy which appears to me to be a long game. It would have to be a long game when it is against …
