The Farce of 400,000 Cases

There is farce in Canada now surpassing 400,000 cases.  In early March, Canadians were warned that they would suffer as many as 350,000 deaths from coronavirus in a matter of weeks.  People would be dropping in the streets, like in China.  Canadians had to lock down for two weeks and hope this wave passed over them.

Now, nine months later, Canada surpassed 400,000 cases – not deaths, cases.  Death total has just crept over 12,000; that two week lockdown was never completely lifted, and Canadians are constantly menaced with another one.  It makes you wonder, who is driving this clown car?

There is no evidence whatever – and none claimed – that the lockdown in March did anything to save lives.  Indeed, the purpose of that lockdown was to flatten the curve - to spread out the strain on the healthcare system.  Total cases and deaths were fixed; it was just a matter of choosing the time at which they would occur.  By design, the first lockdown set Canadians up for the second wave, which is now upon them.  Great strategy!

To spare themselves the embarrassment of admitting they blew it, authorities on health around the world let on that masking would save everything.  Wear a mask and you won’t be fine, the people you breathe on will be.  People sorta understood this, which is why fascist social conformity on masking is prevalent, but they didn’t really get that the masks they were wearing were ineffective as a filter against viruses.  The doctors hadn’t figured out that the virus spreads generally not by people sneezing on one another, but as a dry dust, against which those masks were ineffective as a filter.

The confidence that if all wore masks all would be well, bred a false sense of security.  You can see in the cases curve: the second wave began from the moment that masking became mandatory.  Luckily, none of this really matters.  The virus is deadly almost exclusively to the elderly.  The vast majority of people can go about their daily business with minimal concern.  That 350,000 dead estimate proved dead wrong.

The discipline of masking is enforced on the theory that someone’s grandma is going to die in an LTC facility if you don’t wear one.  Small businesses need to be shuttered for the same reason.  Costco and Walmart can stay open because – let’s be practical!  They have better lobbyists!!  There is no “science” in this at all.

Having put Canada through a first lockdown, which included closing open-air parks even to isolated walkers, there are no financial, social, or psychological reserves left to sustain the country through another one, when conditions are worse than in March.  However, there is no evidence that lockdowns prevent the spread of disease, or reduce deaths. Even the W.H.O. admits this, but a lockdown is the only thing the health care bureaucrats in Canada can think of.  And they have to do something! They can’t look empty handed!

The health care bureaucrats got it wrong from the beginning.  The scale was wrong by two orders of magnitude; the lockdown excesses proved disastrous; the masking mandate proved worse than useless; and now they’re left without new and creative answers.  The words of the Charter were proved empty – all you need to do is to cry “havoc!”

Are there new and better answers?  Sure, but the conformity fascist won’t let them out.
