Even the State-Sponsored Karen Propaganda Network BBC Admits That Deaths Due to the Lockdown Will Soon Exceed Deaths Due to Covid that the Lockdown Is Intended to Prevent
By the way, Boris Johnson announced a shift from "stay home" to return to work but "stay alert."
The Karens, led by CNN, of course began attacking him.Boris Johnson has come under fire from UK lawmakers after he was accused of fumbling the move to loosen some parts of the UK's coronavirus lockdown. Politicians are demanding clarity and regional leaders are breaking from Downing Street's message. The Prime Minister batted back criticism in Parliament on Monday, as his government unveiled its 50-page plan to creep out of lockdown and "rebuild the UK for a world with COVID-19." Johnson has ditched the nationwide "stay at home" slogan and replaced it with "stay alert," and said in a televised address on Sunday that everyone who was unable to work from home -- such as construction and manufacturing workers -- was now being "actively encouraged" to return to work. But as the country enters its eighth week under unprecedented social and economic restrictions, his call sparked confusion among many Brits about when and how they can go to work, leave their homes, or socialize. Johnson urged people to avoid public transport and stay at home if possible, leading to accusations of mixed messages. Leaders in Scotland and Wales meanwhile said they would stick to the "stay at home" message, and London's public transit authority said it would only be able to carry 15% of passengers even after it restores 100% of services. And Johnson's deputy Dominic Raab muddied the waters further in a round of media interviews on Monday morning when he gave conflicting statements around the size and nature of gatherings that would be permitted between people from different households.Sound familiar? The same people who say that two million are going to die, no now it's 100,000, wait now it's 70,000... The same people who told us masks were useless, and also it was critical to save masks for medical personnel because they save lives, and also now that masks are critical for everyone and now mandated by law... The same people who say we have to lock down just until we "flatten the curve" and then, when the curve has been flattened, announce we must stay in lock down until we have a vaccine... are accusing other people of not being clear and offering "mixed messages."
Potential global inflection point. *BBC* now says the models were garbage, massively overstated risk and caused panic. Lockdown deaths soon on pace to exceed virus deaths in UK. Watch the whole thing. https://t.co/l4TkHdZuJh

Unpossible. Orange Bad Man was totes just making it up that people commit suicide more during economic recessions and depressions.
A few actual doctors I follow on twitter are pointing out that small kids are not being vaccinated not due to their parents being anti-vax but due to the parents not being able to take the child in to be vaccinated.
This is all so very fine.

Will those people who die due to deaths of despair, lack of medical treatment or other lockdown-related factors die of COVID-19?
No, they won't. They'll die because of something else. Therefore, the lockdown worked. More importantly, these knock-on effects are a net benefit because lockdowns have generally been reducing the death rate, leading to surplus population. These other causes of death are nature's way of balancing the response to COVID-19 and maintaining the natural order.
If anything, these findings should be encouraging. As we tackle and target a specific issue, we needn't worry about overstepping and overreacting because natural forces will realign the outcomes.

My fear is that the UK will follow through with their INSANE plan to quarantine EVERYONE WHO ENTERS THE COUNTRY -- 14 days mandatory self-quarantine, even applying to Brits returning home.
When this plan leaked over the weekend, the airlines basically said that it will permanently destroy the airline industry in Great Britain. NO ONE would come to the UK for a visit if they were requited to lock themselves indoor for 14 days upon arrival. And also, no Brit would ever leave the UK on a vacation, knowing that upon return they would then lose two weeks of their lives in forced quarantine after returning from overseas.
As a result of the outrage, Boris Johnson, pulled back from that announcement on Sunday, saying only that it was "in the works" and "would happen soon." But it would be his biggest blunder as prime minister if he really does announce this rule.
I care about this because I need to go to the UK sometime over the summer and everything would be ruined by this quarantine insanity.

Hey, what's going on with that "Whistleblower" fired from the HHS. Considering every single media story seemed to be in his favor with nothing countering his firing you'd think that it would have been a story they would stick with. I think his name was Bright, or something like that. However, it's been out of the new cycle for at least 3 days.
Let me guess. They went into lockdown so nothing untoward would pop up about the accuser until the House can use it in another round of Impeachment.

You don't know how bad Ferguson's WuFlu model was. Imperial College was shamed into releasing the model and the code. Well, sort of. Ferguson's original code was so bad cosmetically -- one single source file of 15K lines -- they were too ashamed to release it. So they hired a team from Microsoft to clean it up and make a more presentable version.
That is now on Github:
https://github.com/mrc-ide/covid-sim
While MS prettied it up into something presentable, the flaws in the logic are still there. I encourage you to read analyses of it.
It's a pile of steaming dogshit. It's not just GIGO. It's garbage out no matter what is input. As someone said, it's like your digestive tract. Put anything in the input, and shit comes out the output.

The same people who say we have to lock down just until we "flatten the curve" and then, when the curve has been flattened, announce we must stay in lock down until we have a vaccine...
There are even more new goalposts, Ace:
Now, the new goalpost int he UK is that the "R" number "must" be "below 1.0."
The "R" number is the esoteric epidemiological statistical pattern of how many people each infected person contaminates. if the R number is exactly 1, then the number of infected people stays constant. If the R number is below 1, then eventually the disease will go away. If the R number is above 1, then it will spread into an epidemic.
Even though in reality one can only calculate in retrospect what the R number was for any infectious disease, after all the data is in, someone Big Left is now announcing with daily updates what the R number currently is, even though there's no way to tell, since by their own admission newly infected people often have no symptoms for up to 5 days. So how in the world could we know whether (as I have seen) the R number "just went from .98 to 1.01 yesterday"? It's absurd.
Basically, they're just using the "R" number as some magical evil bugbear they can wield to scare people into obedience. "Oh noes! The R number just went over 1 again! Everyone must now get a bar code tattooed on their foreheads! Anyone who disobeys is a murderer!"

Yet, they don't seem to be one of the hard hit groups.
Could it be because, their immune systems are healthy because they are constantly tested?

Johnson should go on the telly and say if these people were in charge back in the day, we would all be speaking German. I am really sick of this shite. If gov is wrong, then explain it and show a better path. These people are numb nuts and have no path at all.
i am open to waiting if there is a real time to make a change. But it seems that all clear is not coming . Are we going to live like men again? I don't care if you wear a mask and gloves, it doesn't bother me a lick. If that does bother you, that is as wrong as any Karen. The key is it is time to move on with life.
i have had it with abnormal lecturing me on the new normal.

As some of us like to say, as a way to express our cogent argument: Duh!
Look, it's not going to be possible for anyone to accurately measure Lockdown caused deaths, so they can spin this anyway they want. But the general consensus has ALWAYS been, based on hard science, if you cause stress, it will show up in the body in ways that are sometimes predictable, and sometimes not.
So there will be increased heart disease, increased strokes, weight gain, weight loss, suicidal behavior, drug use, and... the one that people don't often see coming, INCREASED RATES OF CANCERS!
So even years from now, when we're seeing people dying in increasing numbers from cancers, including unusual or uncommon cancers, nobody will make this connection.
But it'll be there. It's real, and it's spectacular.
Look, it's not going to be possible for anyone to accurately measure Lockdown caused deaths, so they can spin this anyway they want. But the general consensus has ALWAYS been, based on hard science, if you cause stress, it will show up in the body in ways that are sometimes predictable, and sometimes not.
So there will be increased heart disease, increased strokes, weight gain, weight loss, suicidal behavior, drug use, and... the one that people don't often see coming, INCREASED RATES OF CANCERS!

They had a solid grasp on the data 3 weeks ago or more when they initiated the "Senior Hours" shopping. At that point they should've backed off the draconian responses and went to practical protocols for the demographic most affected.

All i needed to know that the "models" were complete garbage was the original number of COVID death's in the US was 2.5 million, you know what else is roughly 2.5 million?
Rough average annual number of deaths in the US for all causes is 2.5 million.
This was always a scam, it's a scam at every level of analysis and I said it over two months ago.
Here's another fun fact:
Gilead the company that makes Remedisvir also makes GS-441524 an antiviral that is used to fight corona viruses in cats.
So Gilead took a cat drug, added a carrier so that it won't get deactivated by the body and slapped a Mercedes Benz price tag on it.
They eschewed the cheap and off patent HCQ for Remdesivir, charging up to $5k a pop per treatment.
Hey I wonder if any politicians or officials are getting kickbacks from Gilead?

Models of C-19 using standard epidemiological assumptions would yield ..... pretty much what we're seeing: classic epidemic graphs, sharp initial increase, longer sloping right shoulder as cases decline. The curves for the UK in particular are right out of epidemiology textbooks - but actually they'll be that way because ..... um, that's how viral repiratory epidemics *always* proceed?

Twitter announced Monday it will warn users when a tweet contains disputed or misleading information about the coronavirus.
When all this is over, someone needs to sue Twitter, et al, into oblivion for pushing a false narrative while suppressing the truth.

Because they have the tech, and they're tracking us already, so why not.

shibumi - you are right about all the other deaths stemming from this
nonsense. Daughter moonlights as a forensic nurse and they're seeing a
spike in suicide attempts and domestic violence. Children too. It's
awful. This has to stop.
Oh, I know. Don't forget to add in lost medical care, so you can't see a psychiatrist, if you are so inclined. You also can't go talk to a priest.
This is the perfect way to drive people to drinking, violence and suicide. Take away everything they worked for, isolate them and don't let them do anything that might make their life easier. Just sit in front the tv watching 'we're in this together' commercials.
/yeah, they want us dead.

I figure if you're immune-compromised and the disease is more dangerous, then the stronger your immune system is, the less dangerous.
Bums probably have pretty strong immune systems, given the needle drugs, the wallowing in shit, and the rat-meat diet they've already survived.

3. Then Pelosi opens investigation the President because of Dr. Rick Bright's firing for Speaking Truth to Hydroxychloroquine.

Let's see, there the Wuhan Flu deaths, the deaths from heart disease, stroke and cancer that were not treated because the hospitals are closed, and, of course, all the present and future suicides that have come from people losing their life's work. And all hope for the future.
The purpose of all of this wasn't just to "flatten the curve." It was to cull the herd. They want people to die.

Broken record time... and it's not just people who couldn't get treated for pre-existing serious health conditions.
This lockdown will CAUSE serious health conditions. Because that's what stress does.

It might mean the opposite for the guy accent. I dunno. I'm not into dudes that way.
It came up in conversation at work in the Before Times that some magazine surveyed men and found that "New Jersey" was the sexiest accent. Some coworkers were talking about it and how they just don't get it.
One of my colleagues is this very severe guy from Long Island and New Jersey. He has a pretty noticeable accent, but he can really ham it up when he wants to. He is also hilarious, but most people don't know it because they're afraid of him.
During that discussion between other coworkers, he stands up and says - loudly - "What? This isn't sexy to you? This isn't turning you on?" He put on his ultra-thick Long Island accent for it.
They got real quiet and nervous until he started laughing...

I would probably go with Spanish from Andalucia but even getting a chance to meet those girls as an Americano is pretty damn rare. Now I have to look into this. I have to be honest, I am more of a talk like the man on the news type because of my many travels. I don't sound like Quint or some Texans.
I always heard Italian was the most beautiful language, but from some women, it can get extra whiny.

Re the homeless - the reason we don't see them dropping like flies is that Wuhan flu is only slightly more dangerous then season flu.
So, some number of them died last year and no one noticed....and if you don't go looking for them you aren't going to find them this year either.

Now that Trump his own self is retweeting some of the long-time stalwart anonymous Twitter people who've followed and unearthed and properly analyzed the Mega-Scandal from the outset, y'all twitter-averse can just check out some of their stuff and see what you're missing.
He's going off again today (amusing, and encouraging, for what it implies), and today/yesterday repeating posts by some who anyone really interested should have been reading for a long time.

Trump would be well served with an army of the 4-chan types ... the left certainly has their army of online trolls ... but the 4-chan (including the Qanon crowd?) has put out useful info ... and they do seem to produce good results.
I have no idea if Q is just a LARP, or if at some point they got big enough to attract some more senior help. As Flynn has noted, we are now fighting grey zone info wars ... I'd be glad to see some coordination in the "war".
That women framed to be Flynn's lover ... was pushed out of her job at Cambridge ... I think she said in that interview she now fights the online war ... which is pretty nifty. Not sure exactly what she meant ... but indeed, we need an army of real experts that would not be allowed on the MSM.

Some ideas for trying to make the recovery a V instead of a U
1) No H1Bs next year, but a tax credit for hiring an American again.
2) Any company that offshores work gets a tariff - move 10% of your labor offshores? 10% tariff.
3) Ship the illegals home. The government has the capability, has had it since the 50s, just no desire to do so to this point.
4) 2021 will be an income tax holiday - NO TAXES collected. I mean we are throwing out trillions at this point, why not a hundred billion more?

We haven't foguht a war at full capacity since WWII which is the damnedest thing.
The US military of 1945 would have won every single conflict we've been in since then....with the ROE of WWII of course.

We weren't even at full capacity during WWII.
Civilians could still buy basic goods including meat and gasoline. Granted it was rationed but it was nowhere near what Germany, Japan and others saw during the War.
We didn't conscript 14 year olds and give them hand grenades or Panzerfausts and send them to fight the enemy.
Things were starting to get tight but we still had some serious wiggle room where we could have expanded when other Countries could not.

From what I've heard, when that happens, it's because the Ma Duece is pretty worn out and it got hot enough that parts expanded just enough to not catch.
Sorta like how you could "bump stock" original AR15's.

I do (almost) feel bad for the lockdown fanatics and the corner they've painted themselves in. If the numbers in their state are good, that probably means it's time to reopen. If the numbers in their state are bad, it means the lockdown isn't really working, and...we might as well reopen.
Either way, their fantasy of staying home for a year and getting paid is coming to an end.

Vietnam would've been tough. Marines and infantry gained a lot of tough experience in the Pacific theater, but bombing the north with B-17s, 24s, and even 29s would've been ghastly (for us), and I don't think we had combat-ready choppers at that point. We actually did use B-29s and Mustangs in the opening stages of Korea, since we had them, but jet-powered aircraft was the norm by 1950 for anyone with significant military pretensions.

"I'm liking this President of Tanzania guy-first cancels a Chinese Belt and Road project, then punks the WHO."
hadn't heard about that ... but in general China was making some (liar's) loans then trying to foreclose and confiscate property. Then heard some African countries just said "no, you made bad loan, your fault, you go home now".
But yes, Belt and Road is an invasion, it must be treated as such.
I don't think we can just confiscate China's one trillion in treasuries, UNLESS we do it with all other nations that are damaged by China's Act of War/Terrorism. If we all act together it will not hurt anyone's credit rating ... it will be a justified response to an aggressive/malicious/criminal state and their Act of War.

US was estimated to be at high but not total industrial mobilization at end of WWII (actually shipbuilding had been "switched" off well before, as time-lines and capacity meant we already were slated to have an enormous fleet - and we did, and some of those ships are *still* serving in navies around the world today - that's how many we built). Aircraft production wasn't really stopped til victory - it was at truly unbelievable levels by August 15 1945.
Manpower was different. There was a "manpower crisis" in spring of '45. Draft call was *doubled* in March. All about invading Japan. There was tension about it as early as late '44. Battle of the Bulge resulted in several divisions created expressly for Japan operations being shipped to ETO.
One of the zillion reasons that the standard talk of "going to Moscow" after German surrender is idiotic - it bears no relation not just to the politics and goals of the US at the time, but also no relation to military realities.
And no US military adversary since WWII has survived if their elimination was actually our objective, regardless of ROE. Not a military question, one of goals and policy.

I can't watch network TV period. It immediately makes my skin crawl.
My mother, bless her, asked me to watch some kid do some trick on some stupid NBC show hosted by Melissa McCarthy.
There was something about every frame of it that gave me the heebie jeebies. I didn't pre-judge it. It just came on and I was boiling from how phony and condescending it was.
And wouldn't you know, following that kid was some 11 year old who had "transitioned", wearing rainbow glasses and accompanied by two miniature American Flags (remember those?) and lecturing everyone on how not to "hate". It was so phony and sulfuric.

Models can be useful and accurate - but of course it depends on how they're built, what they're modeling (do we understand the workings of the thing being modeled), etc. In other words - common sense.
A model is ... a model. It's an effort to abstract and represent some aspect of reality, but of course it cannot represent other aspects of reality. If it represented all aspects, it wouldn't be a model any more; it would be the reality.
So the question is what aspects does it fail to represent? And under what circumstances does it fail to represent aspects that under others it successfully represents?
The problem with modelers generally (in my experience) is hubris; they believe their models cannot be wrong, and sometimes even question data that conflict with their models, rather than the other way around. This type of thinking has been termed "marrying your hypothesis," and modelers are very prone to it.

The true New Orleans accent is more like a Brooklyn accent, from the Irish who settled in Brooklyn and New Orleans at about the same time. Not a southern drawl IMHO.

A friend of mine wanted to cut his own hair. He was
going to order from Wahl, who states they are Made in the USA. Nothing
was available so he dug deeper and found out part of the reason they are
not back in stock is their supply line tundra through China. So, not
Made in USA. Assembled here with bat soup parts.

you have to be very careful. they will use every lie line available. If it doesn't say made in the USA, they are selling you something. The key word is made, forget assembled or other bs words.
you see the same thing with whiskey. If it says bottled, sourced, or some other bs, don't trust it. Forget what they say on the front of the bottle, look at the back. They have to at some point say where it was distilled. A bunch of these exotic whiskeys were distilled in Indiana The funny thing is that is likely a good thing. The guys in Lawrenceburg, Indiania know a crap load more about distilling than the random local distillery made by some lawyer that got bored.

Shouldn't he have made his granting of the charges being dropped known by now? How much time does he need? Pretty cut and dried. It's getting a bit uncomfortable. Maybe I'm overreacting, or hyper-cynical.

" ...wearing the masks is, in my corner of SE PA, a political "tell" ..."
Oh, here, too.
Locals, rural folks, never did mask much, if at all ... so to me it says,"I'm from the city" and it is laughable.
Over the weekend we saw people outdoors at greenhouses and such, wearing masks, nearest other persons 50 feet away.
Wearing masks in cars on dirt roads in the middle of cornfields.
In another week or so I'm gonna start making fun of them right to their faces.

Jay with the perfect take on modeling.
I've been wondering here and elsewhere, out loud, about what the task force and Trump/inner circle were seeing/hearing about projections, at least since mid-April.
No "Team B"? Any real discussion and contention about the projections? They were revised down, radically, at one point (and still were wrong).
Which is actually less central than the other thing I've been asking about - if this is an endemic virus (narrator: it almost certainly is), then what does almost *any* part of the "phased" guidance and many state-level strategies have to do with any rational goal?
Protecting the (very small) vulnerable groups, getting a good estimate of total infection rate ASAP, and crashing on treatment/therapy would be the obvious priorities. "Lockdowns" and non-symptomatic diagnostic testing, and almost all "tracing", would be irrelevant (as they seem to be, to me).
As there is no press, and the WH has not opened the kimono on the process at all, we are left not knowing. Are these issues being openly debated?

The problem with modelers generally (in my experience) is hubris; they believe their models cannot be wrong, and sometimes even question data that conflict with their models, rather than the other way around. This type of thinking has been termed "marrying your hypothesis," and modelers are very prone to it.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at May 11, 2020 02:53 PM (YqDXo)
From Imperial College's 16-Mar-20 paper (500 K deaths in UK, 2,000 K deaths in U. S.):
We do not consider the ethical or economic implication of either strategy [suppression (i.e. lockdown), and mitigation] here, except to note that there is no easy policy decision to be made.
One then must inevitably ask, why listen to those asshats at all?

The moment expected death tolls from the lockdowns equal the expected death toll from the virus, we have an undeniable and clear-cut moral duty to end them, as they will no longer be achieving their stated public goal of saving lives.
Of course, some will insist on keeping them, because their true goals differ from what they share with the media.

OMG, those would have been a daily outing back in the day. And Eagle Scout project that ended up a park bench? I could say more but it would be unfair and piling on.
I know Star scouts that did more times ten on their Life project. They did things that actually changed the historical landscape. They didn't make a bench or garden. ditch. So sad really.

Remember the two concurrent lies the Left are telling right now:
1. The "lockdown" was never about saving lives, just reducing stress on the hospital system - people are going to keep dying, especially if we open
2. All of the lost lives are Trump's fault
If you can square that circle, consult your doctor.

There is one way to get the media to quit talking about it, and ONLY one. That is for all of us to say, yes, this was a blatant felony murder, and allow William Barr to appoint someone to investigate the local DA who tried to get these two off. Once we do that, they'll forget about it. And I say that, because as I've been posting, the shooter and his father are guilty as hell, and there's no saving them. We serve no good purpose by jumping on their sinking ship.

I see no reason to read too much into this as of yet. Agree with Jack. Also, Judge Sullivan likely wants to be seen doing this the proper way from his perspective too.
He may indeed have questions from prior prosecutors as well.

5% of the support staff are in the US and if things go too badly wrong and everything blows up and you get luck, you might get one of them.
Therefore, it is US-based.

:hadn't heard about that ... but in general China was making some (liar's) loans then trying to foreclose and confiscate property. Then heard some African countries just said "no, you made bad loan, your fault, you go home now"."
And here is where China learns what the West learned back in the 1960's when all of these emerging nations just nationalized and seized property - what's yours is now theirs and there isn't diddly-squat you can really do about it.

that is guaranteed. They even sell truffles from France that are crap from China. They supposedly word it just right when they are not just flat out commiting fraud.
the booze industry is one you can check on and learn a lot from. There is so much bs that it is criminal but if you learn the language you can always spot it. I was going to give a specific example but i am going to let that one go for now. But other than where it is made, be very skeptical when you see a number on a bottle, particularly numbers on rum bottles. Read the fine print. "You can put any number on any bottle but if you don't say it is X amount of years old, well, trust me, it isn't. The rum guys in particular like to play all kinds of tricks. I might comment no this again but I want to check my research and be damn sure before I call anyone out.

You don't understand the charge of Felony Murder. "Progressive" states have dropped it, because it is very harsh, but most southern states still have it, including Georgia. I know there's a nood, but on the chance you're still looking, it's best illustrated by a case in Oklahoma a couple years back.
You may remember that a twenty something girl recruited two of her teen boy friends to burglarize what they thought were rich people's houses. She drove them to a house, they broke in, but the owners grandson was there and came down the stairs with an AR-16. After a brief confrontation , he shot them both to death.
The shooter was NOT charged with anything, because self defense. He was facing two burglars inside his house. The girl in the car, however - and remember, she never intended to harm anyone, she never touched a weapon, she wasn't even in the house when the shootings happened - SHE was tried and convicted of TWO counts of Felony Murder, for the deaths of her two friends. She's in the Oklahoma State Prison today, and will be there for quite a while.
If you are committing a felony, and ANYONE dies for ANY REASON out of the chain of events you started, then you are guilty of Felony Murder. It is a harsh, harsh law. All the DA needs for conviction is to point to a body, and point out your involvement.,
In the Georgia case, the Felony was Aggravated Assault when they used a gun to try and detain Arbery on the road.

tricks. I might comment no this again but I want to check my research
and be damn sure before I call anyone out.

I already know they did it, that is not the question. But the rum industry in particular is very fluid and kind of fly by night. I think a few responded to criticism so i want to be sure what the situation is right now before i call anyone out.

Crystal Bernard. They had a great Wings episode about her accent.

The accent made her hotter.

She was born in Garland, Texas.

In the first episode they explained this. It is kind of funny how they felt the need to explain her accent. It is not like the two guys or any of there other cast were from Nantucket. At this point I still don't know what a Nantucket accent sounds like.

The same people who pushed on us the surveillance state, with its facial recognition cameras, are now passing laws to make us wear face-covering masks when we go out. Cognitive Dissonance...and I'm fuckin' loving it!
