The calamitous failure of the experts

RE: Ontario Planning New Restrictions

Even more restrictions is an admission of utter failure of the ruling elite class of “experts”; an inability to see trends in data, and an utter failure in imagination.  It ought to be profoundly embarrassing to a Conservative government to model COVID restrictions after those of the Communist Party of China.  Doug Ford is treating Ontarians like China treats its Uighurs.

Actually, Uighurs are better treated.  Ontarian gets the re-education camp treatment, but without the social contact.

Ever since masks became mandated, each successive turn of the screw has produced more cases, not less.  Restrictions are supposed to reduce the incidence of COVID, but instead we always seem to get more cases.  This means either the restrictions actually promote the spread in their own way, or they have no effect on the spread of the virus at all.  Regardless, the doctors running this farce have to admit that they’re being out-smarted - by a virus!

Because government is controlling everything, they won’t let the free market, where 99 percent of the knowledge and brainpower resides, apply itself to come up with solutions to their problem.  For example, why aren’t electrostatic precipitators flying off the shelves the same way that toilet paper and N95 masks were?  Because the bureaucrats-cum-doctors never worked in an industrial environment, and have no idea how industry deals with hygiene.  They don’t know, and won’t let the expertise that resides in the population at large come up with ideas.

When this is over, Ford needs to resign.  Doctors need to get fired.  And Ontario needs a Libertarian party.
