In recent days the British government has come under increasing criticism concerning its rather sluggish efforts in combating the spread of the deadly Coronavirus. This criticism comes from the World Health Organisation (WHO), the governments of other countries and even from the former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Up until today I was willing to attribute this general malaise to pure ineptitude but now I am positing the theory that the reason is far more sinister.
The lack of willingness to close schools is down to the 'disruption outweighing the benefits'. It is clearly a reference to the economy as this appears to be of more concern to the government than protecting its population-ITS FIRST DUTY! Whilst children do not appear to be severely affected by Coronavirus they are never the less potential carriers of the virus and can infect older people whilst even remaining asymptomatic themselves. This makes them in effect 'super spreaders'. Closing schools is not purely or primarily therefore of benefit to the children themselves but to the wider community. Thus closing schools EARLY would inhibit the spread of the virus and make 'containment' a more viable option. It would appear that meeting arbitrary government-set educational targets is more important than the health of the population. Up until Tuesday of this week I carried out casual work in a primary school which I have since relinquished as continuing to work there would present a considerable risk to me on the basis of age and potential underlying health issues. The school was so concerned they never even acknowledged my email! Again with many employers, especially schools the needs and health of workers is of little account. Nothing must get in the way of the career and ego of the headmaster! Even travelling to the school would have posed a risk as buses are not renown for their cleanliness or the ability of most passengers to put their hand in front of their mouth before they cough!
According to the Chief Scientific Adviser the government now WANTS the virus to spread and infect at least 60% of the population! By allowing it to spread they believe (mistakenly) that this will create a 'herd immunity'. This is not 'science' but pure hogwash. 'Herd immunity' is built from VACCINATION. To date there is no vaccine for the Coronavirus DESPITE the virus being around for many years! By allowing 60% of the population to be infected they are placing nearly 40,000,000 people at risk and approximately half a million of these people are likely to die if their rather conservative estimate of a 1% fatality rate is correct. In reality we are looking at more than 3%. This would increase the death toll to more than 1 and a half million people. We must now pose the question who are likely to die? The statistics indicate that anyone over the age of 50 has a much higher risk than the rest of the population whether there are any 'underlying health problems' or not. This risk further increases every 10 years or so after that age. Thus the older you are the more likely you are to die. Also those who suffer from certain health conditions such as asthma, diabetes and cancer among other things are also at risk, regardless of age. For those who are 'fortunate' enough to survive their lungs will have lesions which may cause further health problems later on. Boris Johnson's government is thus willingly inflicting a death sentence on half a million people. If this had happened in France the populace would have taken to the streets but as usual all we hear is the moronic mantra 'keep calm and carry on', illustrating once more the servile nature of the mainly English population whose primary purpose is to serve the elite. One would have thought that the awareness that the counter revolution of the late 1960s introduced would have made people more critical and angry towards their government but clearly not!
The deaths of hundreds of thousands of old and older people along with the sick would have the 'advantage' of reducing the current and future cost of paying old age pensions as well as reducing the ratio of people over 50 and over 60 to the rest of the population-a sort of 'inter-generational fairness' if you will! The old will then cease to be a 'burden' on the NHS! This virus then has the capacity to solve the government's 'problem', illustrating for all to see how once more the Conservative Party in government places profit before people. You get what you vote for!
