The country that just forgot about COVID
We know the story by now: countries are supposed to do well against the virus when they listen to “public health authorities” and stay home, close their businesses, etc. When countries don’t do well, that’s because their people are misbehaving, being selfish, etc.
Never mind all the charts showing dramatic swings in a country’s fortunes despite no behavioral changes. It’s much too much fun to scold people for the crime of wanting to be human beings.
Well, the case of Nepal is interesting. After a lockdown that ended in July, they decided essentially to proceed as normal. They’re a poor country, and they chose the radical, unheard-of approach of overturning a policy that would have had them starving to death.
And guess what? They’re doing great.
“Public health officials” are stumped, but at this point who can be surprised by that?
“It’s as if nothing has happened,” says Sameer Mani Dixit, a public health specialist. “The nightclubs are crowded. Schools and colleges are reopening. Sports venues are full. It doesn’t seem like there is any Covid. It defies logic.”
Wait, you mean the virus doesn’t work the way their so-called mitigation measures suggest? You don’t say!
In yesterday’s email I shared the revealing comments of White House COVID adviser Andy Slavitt — who, when faced with a comparison between locked-down California (with its young population) and open Florida (with its older, much more vulnerable population), was reduced to saying, “There’s so much of this virus that we think we understand, that we think we can predict, that’s just a little bit beyond our explanation.”
Someone finally said it: we don’t exactly understand how and why it does what it does.
So maybe we shouldn’t be scolding people for their allegedly bad behavior after all.
In Nepal, “public health experts” are livid that they’ve been ignored. “The government has been very inefficient,” says Dr. Anup Subedi, an infectious disease physician. “There has been a reluctance to engage experts and use data and science. The prime minister has failed to follow public health advice. He has been giving mixed messages.”
According to The Guardian: “Critics say its management of the virus has been haphazard, with little proactive case tracing, few controls on the open border with India and an ineffective quarantine system.”
And yet, cases have plunged.
“Overall, it seems the virus has been contained at this stage,” says Basu Dev Pandey, a former director of the government’s Epidemiology and Disease Control Division.
Back in the U.S., people desperate to keep the morality play going have tried to claim that California has been doing so badly because people have been going to bars and restaurants, but I’ve shown you charts of bar and restaurant outings in California and Florida, adjusted for population, and of course Florida’s is much, much higher.
In fact, here are the Los Angeles numbers, plotted alongside people’s mobility patterns. If you can see a relationship between COVID outcomes and whether or not people are staying home, please show it to me:

Colour me surprised.
This is a political and economic disease. Not a physical disease.
The only reliable method I can think of is:
By age group;
What is my probability of dying this year compared to each of the previous 5 years? Not an average, but a real comparative measure.
Any Life Insurance Actuaries out there?

Great reading. It fits right in with the fact that SARS cov2 has never been isolated nor purified. So it’s looking like it doesn’t exist, as all symptoms can be explained by prosaic means.

This thing is the 55mph speed limit all over again, complete with government incompetence, manufactured public panic, rent seeking, market distortion, bureaucratic empire building+foot dragging and an endless dreary, agenda-driven debate – complete with ginned up statistics – over when and if it can finally be done away with. And recall the the 55mph national speed limit – the national joke that was widely ignored, something Americans are good at – lingered for years.
I’m sick of it. (No pun intended.) From the get-go I’ve not worn the face rag unless it absolutely could not be avoided – taking my grandmother to the doctor say. That includes walking out of stores and vowing never to return if they insisted I must wear one.
And now I’m noticing others doing the same. A slight increase, but noticeable. More people are seemingly starting to say to hell it it. And when it reaches a certain critical mass, a tipping point, it will be done away with.
I’m waiting for that day. But I also fear that certain businesses and agencies, the airlines and DMV for example, will continue to demand proof of some sort of vaccine. That means in turn there will be a huge black market in certificates, something you’re seeing in Israel already. And that means that this thing may well hang around for at least a decade as the various players try to cling to whatever advantages this whole fraud has given them.
In other words and to repeat, like the 55mph, the damage and fallout from this…really bad burlesque is going to linger.
I’m just free-associating here, ranting really, complete with run-on sentences. Thanks for listening anyway just the same.
Just a thought.

there is good item at Vox Day’s blog about a lab in S Cal that tested 1500 samples of what was supposed to be C19. They could not find anything except influenza A and B. They sent samples to other universities who found the same. They requested samples from the CDC and were told they didn’t have any, the CDC didn’t have any. Worth looking at. I don’t do links as I am not that talented but we all know how to find a site.

The laboratory and the person reporting it are not named. Some caution is needed.

I am guessing in Nepal it ran it’s course and immunity was achieved without destroying the lives of the citizens.

Greetings everyone,
So, yet another country has joined the steadily growing list of those who have rejected the Covid nonsense and the non-existent pandemic. None of them has “paid the price” for refusing to punish their people for breathing but all have, instead, reaped great rewards.
The wailing lament of the medicos, “We know better than reality” is strongly reminiscent of their protestations against the building of London’s sewers as this “would do nothing to combat cholera and typhus”.
We all know what actually happened.
In point of fact, almost all improvements in public health have been wrought by engineers, farmers and the people who worked for them. Medicine has played almost no role but wants to cash the rewards for the work of those who used common sense instead of medical theories.
I am presently, trying to cobble together a world map showing which countries have rejected the plandemic. It must be at least ¼ of the planet but could be much more.
All information regarding this gratefully received via

Blessed be
