Covid and the Economy


Recommended Posts

Haha, yes precisely;

"Politicians who are responsible for creating this disastrous #COVID19 #Lockdown folly are: cowardly corrupt incompetent narcissists The damage they've already done and continue to do - will be permanent. Worst part is half public think its a paid holiday. #StockholmSyndrome"

"Let's be brutally honest. There have been 226,000 UK cases of Corona in 65,000,000 people. That's a case rate of 0.4% (1 person in 250). And 33,000 have died (0.05%, 1 person in 2,000) And over 99% of us have our lives on indefinite hold. Comments?"

More brutal honesty;

"Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says almost 40% of households earning less than $40,000/year lost their jobs in the month of March."

Would they have got healthcare even if they needed it?  You need TONS of money to get drugs and stuff in the USA 😢

America has plenty of money and power to implement a UBI and healthcare for all.

mate, politicians are completely trashing the economy for years to come before your very eyes. When you're dumpster diving for food scraps healthcare will be the very last thing on your mind.

the lockdown isn't just talk, the law is preventing you from doing anything but to just sit watch it all burn.

And yet there is quite a lot of activity still going on, especially for delivery drivers and other 'essential' jobs (i.e. the foundational working class that the country cannot go on without) 🧐

Nonsense, Californians are all over the beaches at the weekends.

If they think California is 'Communist' it just shows how far to the right America is.

Mind you, Americans are not especially noted for their subtlety of thought and sophistication :P

err,

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tries to clear up confusion about whether the stay-at-home order will be extended for three months. He says as long as COVID-19 exists, the stay-at-home order will remain, but with some flexibility for businesses to open.

Big anti-lockdown protests throughout Germany, 5000 in Stuttgart alone.

One rule for you and another for them, after the Ferguson fiasco was the Scottish health adviser caught attending a picnic and here the NZ health minister caught at the beach.

And in the US politicians and reporters at a press conference immediately abandon their face masks as soon as they think the cameras have stopped rolling.

It's like we're all being treated like children but the scary thing is that 50% of the population seem to want it.

New Lord Sumption interview today with the BBC absolutely gets it right. There is no excuse to continue the lockdown except for politicians to save face having done everything to put the fear of god into everyone in the first place. There is no danger of the NHS being overwhelmed. Businesses are being destroyed, peoples health and futures are being destroyed. Individuals should have the right to choose the amount of risk they take. Of all the pandemics documented over the last hundred years this one is the least severe of the lot.

It should be apparent to all that this lockdown has turned into total farce and the rules being made for social distancing to allow limited resumption of daily activities are just ridiculous.

Here a US tennis club official can barely keep a straight face as she reads out the new rules that will allow the club to re-open to the public.

PLEASE HELP  😳

Two communiques here purportedly from the police but I'm assured one is genuine and one is fake, the problem is I can't tell which is which.

That's all window-dressing.

Don't worry, the cops are as bent and racist as ever :D
