Coronavirus, 'Herd Immunity'-the Conspiracy Deepens

The British government appear to be backtracking over its earlier blatant statements a few days ago that its strategy was to allow the Coronavirus to spread in order to encourage 'herd immunity'. As real scientists have repeatedly stated there is no immunity against Coronavirus and indeed even if there was any merit in the government's plan it couldn't work. Allowing 60% of the population to become infected does not bring into play 'herd immunity'. Immunity is created through vaccination and there is no vaccine for this virus. Even when vaccines are employed it is vital for at least 93-95% of a community to be vaccinated in order that those who are not vaccinated to be protected from a virus. 60% would achieve nothing but 1.5 million deaths, not the much trumpeted 500,000.

Today we have heard that shortly the government intends to ask people of age 70 and above to self isolate for up to 4 months. This in itself is sensible and nobody of 70 or above needs to wait for the government to ask them to do this: they should be doing it now. The problem is that the vast majority of the English population have a serf-like attitude when it comes to 'authority' and will believe and trust a government despite being fooled time and time again. I have said before that people who normally vote Labour but voted for the Conservative government in the election of 2019 will live to regret their decision. I was was wrong (in part)-many will not live long enough to feel or express such regret as this plague wanders throughout the land.

Whilst I said that the government's intention to ask people of 70 or over to self-isolate is a sensible measure one must question why at just age 70? People in their 50s and 60s have also a heightened risk of being infected severely by this virus but of course many people in their 50s and early to mid 60s still work so behind this plan is to limit economic disruption: PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE! Whilst they state that 'herd immunity' is not part of their plans (if true then this is a 'u-turn') by asking those above 70 to isolate they intend to use the rest of the supposedly 'lower risk' population as a laboratory experiment. Yet this will backfire when many in their 50s and 60s die in the tens of thousands. Indeed the only part of the population which is statistically likely to be 'mildly' infected are those below the age of 40. This appears to be an 'excellent' plan to reduce the average or median age of the population and saving money on paying old age pensions to those already in receipt of them or are going to claim them in a few years! They will spare people over 70 as they fully realise that this part of the population have not many years ahead of them anyway! Excuse my bluntness but again I speak from statistical evidence. The part of the population which is over 70 using the 2018 figures is only 13.8% of the national figures. This token exercise will demonstrate how 'compassionate' the government is! By contrast the World Health Organisation urges everyone over the age of 60 to isolate themselves NOW!

The decision taken last week not to close schools demonstrates clearly that the government's plan is to do nothing to stop the spread of the virus. Whilst children are not likely to become severely ill from the virus and in some cases may be asymptomatic they never the less will unwittingly infect others. The closure of schools in epidemics like this helps to protect not just children but the larger community. Schools like buses are breeding grounds for viruses.

The government's first priority should be the protection of its citizenry but it is clear that this government's first priority is to 'safeguard the economy' which is doublespeak for protecting the financial interests of the elite. The lack of concern for the people being exhibited by the government should, I stress SHOULD create a groundswell of anger but instead the broad mass of people are once again showing that you can fool the people twice!
