Just to add tothe numbers analysis.
Sweden’s total fatalities per-million (118) compared to their neighbours: Denmark 55 deaths per million, while Finland’s rate is just 13
And, of course, the elephant in the room is the sexual assault upon Tara Reade allegation against Biden being neglected by the media when compared to the Trump and Kavanagh sex reports.
Came across this Democratic Party political strategy – “counter-scheduling” as raised by commentator Thomas Frank

Bill’s chief political adviser, Hillary Clinton, instructed White House officials how it was going to be done. As Carl Bernstein describes the scene, Hillary announced that the public must be made to understand that Bill was taking them on a “journey” and that he had a “vision” for what the administration was doing, a “story” that distinguished good from evil. The way to dramatize this story, the first lady continued (in Bernstein’s telling), was to pick a fight with supporters.
The Right begins to mobilise against the State
Another conspiracy theory
Bill Gates and the Pandemic
“His stated interest is the production of vaccines. With a world induced to his way of thinking, the stage is set for acceptance of annual mass vaccinations, a situation that would insure profits for the pharmaceutical industry that are not only astronomical, but also certain to be perpetual.”
The Gates Foundation relationship with Big Ag and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa is also raised by others as very suspect.
While the Right target George Soros, for the Left it is Bill Gates. Now if I could only prove that they share the same hand-shake, I will have discovered the Masters of the Universe.
Lost in the present crisis the climate emergency is still on-going and the news is never good.
“This melt event is a good alarm signal that we urgently need to change our way of living to hold back global warming because it is likely that the IPCC projections could be too optimistic for the Arctic,” said Dr Xavier Fettweis, co-author of the research
Sanders practically pleads for his supporters to vote for the lesser evil

AOC already said she will vote for Biden no matter what…not even trying to extract any concessions from him.
If you are guarantee your support regardless, just how can you expect compromises if he becomes president when you no longer possess the leverage of the power to offer or with-hold your vote?
Herd Immunity, Eugenics and COVID-19
“So why would a public health policy be acceptable simply because, as far as we know, the virus kills primarily old people and people with underlying conditions? What does this say about a society that accepts that the elderly and the sick can die in numbers, as an alternative to widespread economic damage caused by more stringent suppression measures?
The Norwegian and Swedish states have a long history of adopting policies based on eugenics that continued well after World War II. Eugenics was deployed throughout the 20th century as a branch of scientific state management, part of a social engineering project that envisioned a society made of physically healthy and “socially fit” individuals. It was closely associated with the development of the welfare state, and resulted in cruel practices, such as the forced sterilisation of mentally ill people…
It is hard not to read eugenic implications in this kind of thinking: the “herd” will survive, but for that to happen, other “weaker” members of society need to be sacrificed…The prospect that states and markets might just let people get sick, albeit perhaps at a slower pace, is a very real one.”
I read some media articles on this internal report, but none was as brutal as this analysis. Some of us suspected it though.
“Labour party officials opposed to Jeremy Corbyn worked to lose the 2017 general election in the hope that a bad result would trigger a leadership contest to oust him…the party’s right wing, who worked at its HQ, became despondent as Labour climbed in the polls during the election campaign despite their efforts…Tactics by anti-Corbyn staff evidenced in the report include channelling resources to candidates associated with the right wing of the party, refusing to share information with the leader’s office, and “coming into the office and doing nothing for a few months” during the election campaign.
USA withdraws funding foe WHO…Trump has found himself yet another scape-goat after China to divert blame
Another focus for speculation could be if Nationalist Ukraine and Menshevik Georgia had retained their independence
I’ve touched on it a couple of times in past posts but has anybody else noticed a total lack of religious hysteria.
Usually something like this pandemic would create some sort of a religious revival. But unable to fill their churches, there seems an absolute lack of religion even at Easter. Nobody is placing faith in God, of any denomination
Is this now the end of religion for most people? It seems so to me perhaps the final nail in its coffin.
Now the knock-on effects with other health diseases
WHO has said it fears more than 117 million children could miss out on being vaccinated against measles, which killed 140,000 people in 2018.
Ozy, that indeed might be the subsequent consequence of the pandemic but not the cause or reason for the crippling of the economy.
Many on the left claim that the State’s massive intervention in the economy will also not be easily reversible and the nanny state in even the most free enterprise nations such as the USA will become a permanent feature of the government.
Big Brother surveillance already exists in China and Israel so again the motive cannot be simply to increase State spying.
Probably the only thing that is going to be new will be the technology of the apps being installed in the mobiles to follow movements.
Another sign is the mounting authoritarianism of political leaders such as Trump, claiming the president can no longer be challenged, reflecting Victor Orban of Hungary
