My dear Wormwood, let me teach you how to magnify a crisis 10 or 100 fold. First, and this is very important, you must find a genuine crisis. Preferably something people fear, like a virus.
Now, it does not have to be a virus of the magnitude of the one unleashed during the great war, but near the magnitude of the Asian Flu, or the Hong Kong Flu. You see, if you choose a bad yet ordinary virus, it will easily be dismissed.
Yet, if it is a unique sickness unseen in most people’s lifetime, fear is easily induced. However, this sickness must spread quickly, especially in the media center.
First their scientists will have to predict the toll. Since they will not want blood on their hands, they will overestimate. Then the media will ensure that only the most extreme voices will be heard. https://www.businessinsider.com/covid19-model-predicts-40-million-people-could-die-without-interventions-2020-3">https://www.businessinsider.com/covid19-m...
You see, once the panic has begun, the truth does not matter. Their fear of overrun hospitals will make irrelevant the reality of abundant resources. But remember, in order to complete the fright, there must be some places with strained capacities, even if they are the exception.
Leaders know that inaction amidst panic leads to hostility. They& #39;ll make their altars in the high places and society will forgo their cherished rules and institutions. A scared populace will enforce the restriction of children playing and adults working to feed their family.
Their authoritarianism and myopia will create strife between those immediately suffering from the restrictions and those who are not. Snitching will be considered a virtue while work and worshiping God will be considered vices. But this is just the beginning.
Their anxiety will create a myriad of conditions; depression, abuse, addiction and despair. They will stop educating their children. Their lack of activity will create chronic illness. Their lack of production will mitigate their ability to prosper for years.
And in their panic, they will have killed many millions. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/22/africa/coronavirus-famine-un-warning-intl/index.html?fbclid=IwAR3MhluCdriYXyoDfElSKY0banU6e9mdWKEMy5jkprpuBTg01w6JTOBxsy8">https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/2...
