FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE

1. I'm going to make a prediction, an unscientific prediction, but one I've nevertheless given a lot of thought to.
2. I think Covid19 cases will decline as we head towards summer & by the end of next month we'll be cautiously optimistic that the worst is over.
3. I've watched umpteen videos, read many articles written by experts & the sum total is no-one really knows or agrees on anything much. Every initial assumption has been proven wrong. The WHO said in January there was no evidence to suggest human to human transmission.
4. On 14 February the EU Rapid Response risk assessment stated the risk to healthcare systems capacity in the EU/EEA countries & UK was low to moderate. They also considered health risks posed by the virus to EU/EEA/UK populations was low.
5. It seems once that notion had gotten into the heads of those decision makers, there was a reluctance or denial to acknowledge what was unfolding in Southern Europe. We even heard sneers to the tune of 'well you know what the Italians are like, we're different to them.'
6. By the time it was realised that we are no different & that the virus finds the rest of Europe as hospitable as the Italians, it was too late. We learn the hard way that no matter how inefficient we thought the EU/global blob were, they go one better in their stupidity.
7. So here we are, in the eye of the storm, wondering what will become of us.

I recall the 2001 foot & mouth crisis vividly. I recall outbreaks of diseases in horses over the years. Most often fresh air & warm, dry weather work wonders where scientific intervention has failed.
8. I think we will see an acknowledgement over the coming weeks that the virus is transmitted by aerosol (a lot), I think we'll see masks being recommended in crowded places & I think we'll see the promotion of ventilation being important in fighting the disease.
9. So scoff all you wish, but humour me over the next few days & open your windows to let the fresh, warm air in.
10. As for the economy. It need not be all that bad. I went 6 months without income during the foot & mouth epidemic & it was really tough, but I got over it.

Something tells me that western governments want this crisis to be a system reset.
11. It provides them with an excuse to realign power structures without admitting the previous system had failed for many years. We all saw a slump, despite denial by the blob. The German car industry most notably.
12. People are just a bit sick of consumerism I believe. Being laden with debt in return for trinkets loses its appeal after a time.

Covid19 is the tornado in the globalist, establishment house of cards.
