Coronavirus Hype: How Far Can Governments Push People Before It Backfires

On March 30th, the US registered a record number of new registered COVID-19 cases – 20,353, to a total of 163,844.

It also registered 573 deaths, to a total of 3,156.

Additionally, New York’s Empire State Building lit up in red and white, revolving around the famous needle to resemble the lights that accompany a siren. The building’s owners call the display “the heartbeat of America.”

In all reality, and judging by videos, it resembles Sauron’s tower in Mordor more than anything.

The US Navy Ship (USNS) Comfort arrived in New York City, bringing 1,000 hospital beds to help relieve the city’s overwhelmed hospital system amid COVID-19 pandemic.

Both New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio went to greet the ship, which docked on Monday morning at Pier 90 in the West Side of Manhattan.

“We all watch something absolutely extraordinary, absolutely inspiring as the USNS Comfort enter New York Harbor, coming here to save the lives of New Yorkers in our hour of need, ” de Blasio made the remarks after welcoming the ship.

It will start treating non-COVID-19 patients so as to free up beds in local hospitals which can be focused on fighting the pandemic by establishing more intensive care units, officials have said.

“We realize at this moment that our nation has heard our plea for help here in New York City. And there could not be a better example of all of America pulling for New York City than the arrival of the USNS Comfort,” the mayor added.

In Italy, 4,050 new cases were registered, and the country passed 100,000 total infections, it registered 800 deaths, to a total of 11,591.

At the same time, it would appear that infection numbers are lowering for a few days in a row, while the deaths remain relatively high, which could potentially mean that the peak of the infection in Italy is nearing, and the situation may begin recovering slowly.

The number of recoveries in Italy grew by 1,590, up to total 14,620. This marked the highest daily increase since the pandemic broke out in northern Italy on February 21st, according to Civil Protection Department chief Angelo Borrelli.

In addition to rapidly spreading in the US, Spain is the European country which appears to be far from its peak, with infected numbers rising rapidly each day – on March 30th the new registered cases were 7,846, to a total of 87,956, while the new deaths were 913, to a total of 7,716.

China, registered no new cases on March 30th, at all. While on March 31st, it has registered 79 new ones so far, the total sits at 81,518, with only 2,161 active ones.

It appears Beijing is entering the recovery phase, as Chinese President Xi Jinping said China will roll out more targeted measures to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) hit by the COVID-19 outbreak restart production and further develop.

Various industries and enterprises have been affected during the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, said Xi.

A series of policies have been introduced and will be improved in tandem with the changes of the situation, said Xi, adding more targeted measures will be rolled out to help SMEs restart production and further develop.

“We need to rise to the challenges. With the support of the Party and the government, we must stick together through thick and thin to overcome the difficulties,” Xi stressed.

In Russia, the active cases remained 1,836 by the end of the day on March 30th and now cases are yet reported in the early hours of March 31st.

Moscow is on lockdown, with other areas following suit.

Notably, the Moscow authorities created a Telegram channel for the anti-COVID-19 headquarters. What is of interest is that Telegram is officially blocked in Russia. This move itself demonstrates that Moscow authorities (and wider the neo-liberal part of elites) toss a challenge to the  patriotic part of elites surrounding President Vladimir Putin. The country’s capital’s authorities are using an application, blocked by a government decision to disseminate official data.

Since, Russia still has a relatively low number of deaths to COVID-19, below is a review of those who have succumbed to the disease, and their underlying conditions.

They are as follows:

  • A man of unknown age, who died in St. Petersburg, and it was discovered that he had COVID-19 due to a post-mortem test;
  • An 84-year-old woman in Moscow, who suffered diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma and cardiovascular diseases;
  • A 48-year-old-man in Vladimir region. He died on March 27th from pneumonia, he had a chronic illness and was hospitalized into the general department of the hospital in Kovrovo, it was discovered he had COVID-19 in a post-mortem test;
  • A 52-year-old man in Pskov, he had severe underlying conditions in his lungs, but also COVID-19;
  • A 90-year-old man in Moscow. He was suffering from chronic cerebral ischemia, encephalopathy and parkinsonism;
  • A 69-year-old woman in Moscow for whom there is no other information;
  • A 57-year-old man in Orenburg, who had several chronic conditions;
  • 73-year-old man in St. Petersburg, who returned from Thailand on March 1st. He suffered from several chronic conditions, including coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure, he died of acute heart failure, but had COVID-19, so he was registered as a victim of the virus;
  • 56-year-old woman in Moscow. One of her lungs had been extracted previously due to cancer, she was confirmed with a left-sided pneumonia when admitted to hospital;
  • 70-year-old woman in Moscow. She suffered from diabetes for 20 years, had terminal renal failure and other underlying conditions, she was registered as a COVID-19 victim;
  • 88-year-old man in Moscow, with several underlying conditions;
  • 73-year-old man in Moscow, also with several underlying conditions;
  • A 75 year-old male in Penza with numerous chronic diseases;
  • 3 76 – 86 years old people in Moscow. All patients had chronic diseases, in particular cardiovascular. Chronic pyelonephritis, bronchial asthma, chronic brain ischemia were also among concomitant diseases. Two of the patients suffered from diabetes.
  • A 65 years old woman in the Moscow region. She had diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and suffered a heart attack in 2019.

First of all, this starts reminding strongly of the statistics of the deaths in Italy and other countries, with more men dying, and people with various (severe and mild) underlying conditions, who were exacerbated by COVID-19, or were simply above the life expectancy and with terminal conditions, but happened to have the virus.

Separately, a new analysis by researchers at Imperial College London, estimated that the potential impact of interventions in 11 European countries to counter the coronavirus pandemic – including school closures and national lockdowns – likely prevented up to 120,000 deaths.

However, they add that the estimated proportion of people to have been infected with the virus may only be between 2 to 12% of the population (2.7% in the UK). That means, according to the analysis, between 7 and 43 million people have been infected with the coronavirus by March 28th.

Professor Christl Donnelly, Professor of Statistical Epidemiology within the School of Public Health, said:

“Europeans, like many people elsewhere, have changed their lives profoundly in recent weeks.  This report makes clear early evidence of the benefits of these social distancing measures.  By keeping our distance from each other, we limit the opportunities for the virus to spread and reduce the risks of illness and even death among those around us.”

Professor Neil Ferguson, Director of J-IDEA at Imperial, added:

“This analysis show that the interventions European countries have put in place have significantly slowed the spread of COVID-19. However, it is not yet clear whether or how quickly these measures will cause the numbers of new cases to decline. Data collected in the next two weeks will be crucial to refining our assessment of this key point.”

Good news regarding measures aside, that means if the total infected rate doesn’t sit at above 700,00 but between 7 and 43 million (which is a gigantic margin), it would mean that the fatality rate of the disease is astronomically low.

And it would also mean that the severe measures, justified or not, are a sort of large-scale “sociological experiment” which aims to see how much repression would people be willing to accept, for a vague justification, and how politicized could the entire situation be. It could potentially also show how far people can be pushed before there’s riots on the streets, and the lack of “entertainment” leads to people finding ways to “entertain” themselves. As it has been proven time and again, mob mentality dictates that “entertainment” usually means decapitating the elite.

“As Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte fights to hold Italian society together through a crippling nationwide lockdown, the depressed south is turning into a powder keg.

Police have been deployed on the streets of Sicily’s capital, Palermo, amid reports gangs are using social media to plot attacks on stores. A bankrupt ferry company halted service to the island, including vital supplies of food and medicines.”

“The strain is showing in the south of the country where one man in Apulia reportedly called police after the bank closed and they couldn’t withdraw his mother’s pension – their only income.

Footage shows him shouting at officers, telling them the family has no money, his mother begging them to go to their home so she could show them they have no food. It’s hard to watch. It’s what desperation looks like.”

Do people really notice that all those who succumb to other complications caused by the virus are being listed as dying of the virus? That obviously and very conveniently pushes up the numbers. Recent analysis of the Italian outbreak has revealed that approx 700 have died so far of the virus itself.

Why has the US got it so bad? As with every US agenda of the past 50 years, neocons need a badman to blame before stripping citizens of more rights. IMO, the disparity between results, the precautions, the threat posed, and the panic mongering of MSM, harks of past false flags and makes it seem that there is probably more going on than meets the eye.

IMHO

They do the same thing with the flu each year.

I have linked to one site before and will do it again. And I highly recomend you to read its atricel and the previous ones about the so called Virus tests equimpements they claim backs their numbers carefully, take your time, and make shure you after this, reads the official MSM and “experts” assemements about what they think and what kind of arguments and “science” they claim they have to back up their messurmements and the implemets they force upon us all because of their “expertise”. https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/ This blog, is as far I can judge, the absolute truth, because deducting and the use of an noble art witch to day is becoming extingt, logic and oh….. horror, comon sense, should have been on the red list along with animals whom is becoming extingt. With the subclasses like Pathern recognision and finding Corolation.

Yeah, what bugs me, is the shere level of propaganda rats crawling everywhere, and makes sites like UnzR and even Sakers hooligans and apostles whines about eh…. conspiracy uh… nutts like me, etc to others, is painful to even read, the whining and complaining is jaw dropping, and the rat packs, sorry for my analogies but they piss me off, are attacking anyone whom isnt drooling along, before this we where Putin trolls, from uh.. St. PBurg etc to Mooslem lovers and now morphed into Commie lovers, etc and then we have then constant hammering of hate propaganda against China, when Russia was their number uno target just some months ago, to day when everything have gone total bananas and screams about China this and Commies that, in sites like ZH, witch is one of the worst, and I dont even bother to rant about the MSM since we all know what they are to other assh….. whom whines about been cencured while they had kicked everyone out from their sites because of not been in agreement with their agenda, like Natural News Adams an insane rotten scumbag, to others whom just echoes the MSM propaganda, and nobody is willing to debate the truth, because anyone western MSM site is doing this to create hate, against anyone whom isnt willing to line up behind their pathetic spineless backs.

So, what is this eh… virus, and what do we have to counter this, “epidemic” scam, and people stil dont get it, since I have one rule of thumbs above most else, I never, never have, and never will trust anything the western MSM or polticians say or report, to what have become glearingly obvious, the scientific comunity incl the so called medical “experise” witch for me is the eqvivilance of when the Moronikans waived the so called “CW tube” in the UN when they claim Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, since then, the same MSM, the same Polticians, have never acknowledged anything what so ever, and now, claims credibility based upon the same scumbags storys about this epidemic.

And the people took it, with the sink, line and hook, and nowhere in the MSM is there alowed anything else than pure bullshit and in the comentary fields they are much worse now than ever, total in synk with the scam, or of whatever bollocks the MSM can charf up. To end my rant, I have skiped something that most dont wanna tuch, vaccines, and the damages it do to human body and systems, one thing is polution and to war on our genes. Shit in, shit out, we are and becomes as an result of what we eat and think. I could go further but above all, read the link, then we can elobrate this further and read the coments, since the quality is above most of the rest, incl so called alternative sites.

Have an nice day and take care.

Doubt whether my opinion is going to change going forwards either.

Telegram was unblocked in Russia some time ago after taking down Coronavirus information that the Russian government defined as misinformation. The security state won that fight in Russia. It was YouTube that refused to remove fake news about the virus in Russia and will likely face long term consequences in Russia.

rightiswrong rightiswrong

Decapitating the elite.

Pol Pot may yet turn out to have been right.

Zarathustra

Pol Pot made the mistake of attacking Vietnam civilians, leading to Cambodia being invaded and occupied by Vietnam and Pol Pot fleeing across the border to Thailand. China invaded Vietnam to prop up Pol Pot’s regime, suffering heavy losses in the span of a few weeks. This embarrassing defeat led to China signing a peace deal with Vietnam.

rightiswrong rightiswrong

Poor Cambodia, or Kampuchea as Pol Pot called it.

I didn’t like the Khmer Rouge, but they had a point about the “elites”.

I agree, everyone has a limit to their patience.

Grow up? learn to read? be smart? You are the one that writes like a semi literate, dullard of a ten year old. If you do not like my insults, then perhaps you could polish up a bit. It would require less effort than defending your sloppiness, and be less embarrassing for you. Cheers.

We’ve had the coronavirus here in Washington state as long as China. The state health department has been reporting deaths from it for 2 months now. Over the past two months 10,000 people have died in this state from the causes that people normally die of. Less than 200 have died from the virus. This is what the democratic governor has destroyed the state economy for.

“Sweden has taken a slightly different approach to coronavirus than the rest of the world, allowing life to go on as ‘normal’ with a few exceptions.

Unlike neighboring Denmark – which has restricted meetings to 10 people or less, Swedes are still going out to nightclubs, hanging out with friends, and even ‘enjoying ice creams beneath a giant Thor statue in Mariatorget square …

Sweden has had 4,435 confirmed cases and 180 deaths from the coronavirus.”

Governments can go very far. It all boils down to the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory. Once people’s bellies are no longer full, or their shelter is taken away, that is when things go South very, very quickly. IIRC, the turmoil in Yemen started with high food prices and it quickly spiraled out of control.

Zarathustra

The only problem with that is it would take a while before economic conditions begin to resemble the Great Depression. As long as people’s bellies are full, have shelter with access to porn and fast food, they won’t care as much as they might otherwise. My example is an exaggeration, though many people nowadays aren’t as tough, virtuous, or well built as they were back in the day.

If a vaccine is created to mitigate coronavirus, lets hope the first recipients of the medicine is Obama, Biden, Clinton and their most notable neoliberal donors.

Mass panic – Italy therefore has a 0.8 death rate (AND it’s overestimated as more than 100 000 are likely to have the virus)

thanatos

btw. these information about deseases bond to 1 person are not allowed to publish according international rules signed by russia. the SF also makes itself criminal.
