Life must go on says Her Majesty the Queen

Life Must Go On, says the Queen of England and some other places she really has no business being Queen of. The Telegraph

Life must go on says Her Majesty the Queen

Is it cruel or kind to tell isolated people that they are "not alone"?

Her Majesty then proceeds to heap praise on "modern science" and vaccines.

The Queen stressed that life must “go on” as she used her annual Christmas broadcast to praise scientists for giving Britain “hope in the new dawn”.

Here's what I imagine it must be like to meet "Her Majesty" in person:

You give your hand to me, and then you say hello,
And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so,
To you I'm just a subject; that's all I've ever been;
No you don't know me.

Apologies to the truly beloved Ray Charles who had way more going for him than anybody in the royal family, and who, by the way, does not appear to ever have been knighted, unlike other celebrities. Please feel free to let me know if I'm wrong about that.

He was born on my birth-date 10 years earlier and he made the late 50's memorable for me. Right now, his music is brightening my day as the winter sleet strikes my window. Album: His Greatest Hits

[Her Majesty] also spoke of her pride in the way the nation has responded to the coronavirus pandemic with a “quiet, indomitable spirit” ...

Could it be that she imbibed a cocktail too many to notice all the protests going on?

It appears Her M. isn't troubled by this:

Telegraph : Hospitals ... cancel operations and prepare to send Covid patients elsewhere

The increase in numbers has meant difficult decisions to 'prioritise cases of higher urgency'

Higher profile seems more like it.

Her Queenship seems blissfully unaware that some of her beloved, albeit embarrassingly ill, subjects are being "sent to Coventry" due to panic on the part of the NHS -- despite not any current indication of over-crowding.

Well, abandonment of sick people certainly worked for us here in Canada, when patients were dumped into Long Term Care Homes and -- oops -- they died - soon after being strongly encouraged to sign "Do Not Resuscitate" forms.

Somebody should at least point out to her the Telegraph's reader comments:

They had six months to plan for this. NHS England is utterly useless and people are dying because of its incompetence.

As they doing very little anyway, no one will notice, except those who have been denied treatment, gone blind, or died, at the non-hands on NHS.
Still, it should save us billions with so few being treated for anything other than Covid, the sainted Covid, the God-given excuse for failing to provide anything that could be described as a health service; hell service more like.

They weren’t doing anything in the first place. Time for everyone in parliament to be unemployed including the Labour Party who are completely silent

I think I am finally starting to understand what's going on here. Our health service is managed in such a shockingly bad way that a few thousand extra "unplanned for" patients is enough to sink the whole system.
So far we have spent 3 times the annual NHS budget on Covid-19 the whole system needs a drastic rethink once we are through this (government inflicted) crisis.

So basically what happens every winter due to seasonal flu / pneumonia then?
PS Apparently only 10% of NHS beds are full of covid patients, so what's happening to the remaining 130,000 beds now that routine surgery has been cancelled (like ti ever really began again!)

Routine Operations are cancelled every winter. Nothing new here.

===================

The Royals' "bumpy path":

The final two paragraphs of the Telegraph's report pretty much says it all about the Royal Family:

She also acknowledged the "bumpy" path her family and the country has faced during the past 12 months, but mentioned some of the positives like the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's first child.
During 2019, the Duke of Edinburgh was involved in a dramatic car accident, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke about their struggles living in the public eye, and the Duke of York gave a disastrous television interview about his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Just little "bumps", blips on the screen of royal glory. The Duke wasn't just "involved" in the accident; he caused it, though he blamed Mr. Sun for it.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been paid well to live in the public eye and should grow up and stop acting hard done by.

And I don't even want to think about the icky Duke of York -- nor Prince Charles for that matter, who lends a brand new meaning to the saying: "you're a prince of a man".

Nuff said about all of that.

The following is not really a digression from what amounts to examples of cognitive dissonance in high places:

====================

Countering Hate with extreme dislike:

Came across this ambitious little website this morning. They seem somewhat shy regarding precisely who sponsors them: funded by "philanthropic trusts".

Seems they hate anti-vaxxers who, if successful in their campaign, could seriously get in the way of this:

AlliedMarketResearch: "The global vaccine market size accounted for $32,462 million in 2019, and is expected to reach 54,150 million by 2027 ... "

It's such a high-earning figure that it can't even be fully displayed in numbers.

I'm going to assume that Ray Charles would throw back his head and laff out loud.

You seem to refer us to *UK* stories about that. Not Canadian stories.

Clearly, some work remains to increase the number of DNR orders on file, especially among residents who are older, are in a state of functional or cognitive decline, or have been admitted from home.

It's been reported in numerous locales, countries, states and provinces that the governments intentionally moved sick patients into LTC homes that it seems in disputable.

It's also interesting to take note that legislation was passed to absolve them of their responsibilities in these actions.

Can't imagine why one would enact/take such type of action unless there was culpability
I'm talking about the Covid 19 lawsuit immunity

"Ontario nursing home residents may be improperly denied advanced COVID-19 hospital care based on forms they or their loved ones signed when they were admitted to the facility, an advocate says."

There seems to be no evidence for that claim ... in your references.

There also seems to be no evidence of "being strongly encouraged to sign 'Do Not Resuscitate' forms" ... in your references.

Not really. Those numbers would simply and normally be written as $32 billion, and $54 billion, respectively.

By comparison, for example, the global bottled water market is expected to reach $268 billion by 2026.

Yaya replies: "Billion" is a word, not a display of numbers.

And your choice of "sarcasm" over "irony" may well reveal more about you than about me.

Midas also says:

Yaya replies: It is folly to compare apples and oranges because, thanks to the Internet, most people can recognize a strawman:

"How a strawman works
" First, person A states their position.
"Then, person B presents a distorted version of person A’s original position ...
"Finally, person B attacks the distorted version of person A’s position ..."

Penny said: "It's been reported in numerous locales, countries, states and provinces that the governments intentionally moved sick patients into LTC homes that it seems indisputable."

Yaya says: Agreed. And, since LTC homes request (not always successfully) that new residents sign DNRs, they clearly had to hustle to get DNRs signed by/for the patients arriving from hospitals.

Apropos of nothing here but general sound logic:
https://jordanschachtel.substack.com/p/the-new-strain-of-covid-propaganda

"Politicians and “public health experts” around the world are using faulty models on a new variant of the novel coronavirus in order to cover for their failures in stopping its spread, while simultaneously leveraging the issue to demand renewed lockdowns and other punishing restrictions. Not much is known about the so-called “new strain” of the virus, but that hasn’t stopped the ruling class from using it to their advantage."

28/12/2020 12:48:19 pm

faulty models is the rule and not the exception any longer
we've had faulty models for everything and they just keep on creating them- they must be the new ''big lie"

28/12/2020 03:24:59 pm

Thanks Penny and Brian! Sooner or later this nonsense has got to backfire on the perps.

I'm going to post the link you provided in my pandemics column, Brian. As well as your post today about the manipulative language being used, Penny.

M.R. mentioned this video: Del Bigtree interviews Dr. Zach Bush. It's a powerful message, especially toward the end. (Just in case you haven't already seen it.)

Gosh those poor 'victimized' LTC homes...

They "hoped" no one would die, because they've never dealt with that type of situation previously
And it was soooo costly for them. as they profited handsomely

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/26/big-for-profit-long-term-care-companies-paid-out-more-than-170-million-to-investors-through-ontarios-deadly-first-wave.html

"n the first nine months of 2020, as the COVID-19 catastrophe unfolded across Ontario, the three largest publicly traded long-term-care operators in the province made huge payouts to investors while taking millions in government funds, data shows.

A Star analysis of the financial statements of Extendicare, Sienna Senior Living and Chartwell Retirement Residences shows that in the first three quarters of 2020 (ending Sept. 30), these for-profit companies collectively paid out nearly $171 million to shareholders at the same time they received $138.5 million through provincial pandemic pay for front-line workers, the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) program or other pandemic funding."

And Daddy Dougie made it possible for them to have no liability- as well as their insurers- And the Ford government-

I simply had to grab a box of kleenex and have a big cry for these slime balls- rather then the residents and their families who were 'given the shaft"

Every time Ford cozies up to anybody (especially to Chrystia Freeland), it's an indication of how he made it to Premier. On the flip side, Ontario pretty much decides who gets to be Prime Minister.
