Yeah we’re developing quite a high secondary death toll here. I suspect it’s going to be a lot higher over time than immediate coronavirus deaths particularly as cancer care is canned for a lot of people so good outcomes turn to bad. They’ll be swept under the carpet while the politicians are labelling themselves as heroes. |

Is it: * There is no pandemic, or it's just like flu. * There is a pandemic and it's serious, but the lockdowns, etc, aren't needed. * There is a pandemic, it's serious and needs lockdowns, but the economy must come first. And... * Some people/corps are taking advantage of the situation. * Some people/corps are promoting panic so that... * ... they can take monetary advantage of the situation. * ... they can take a controlling advantage of the situation. * Some people/corps have engineered the situation so they can either/both the above. |

That is possible because the number of Corona patients is declining. |

Lucky. My mother had her chemo cancelled. The hospitals are pretty dead here. I reckon it's going to turn into a shit show beyond all proportion yet. |
