No news like corona news

 EconomicTimes - 2018: Don't let fear turn into phobia.


No news like corona news ...

​Actually, there's no news BUT corona news today!

Seriously, it's like there's nothing else happening in the world except the virus scare.  Makes me worry what's really going on while we're being distracted!

I'm pretty sure that what's behind this current fear campaign is an economic war in progress with the need to distract whole populations from what's going on.  The Encyclopedia Britannica points out that what usually results from this kind of warfare is an overall drop in living standards for the general population, which, in my opinion, is the most dastardly sort of crime because it affects children, parents and small business owners.

There's a sickness alright, and it's among our so-called world leaders.

I can't read the panic news anymore, but I do immediately click down to the comments section so I can sometimes get a good laugh from people who still have a bit of their wits about them:

​SMH: (Australia) Tensions Rise at Coronavirus Testing Clinics

• Somewhere sitting in the charred remains of a burnt out, and now flooded, dunny sits an Australian with no toilet paper who says, "No worries, she'll be right mate."
• Pasta attacks the protein shell surrounding the virus. Adding diced or pulped tomato to the accompanying sauce increases effectiveness.
• Toilet paper is invaluable reading matter for those who forgot to hoard copies of the Daily Telegraph.
• The "worried well" have long been a significant drain on health resources. I expect you wil find their cupboards are full of bog roll and pasta too.

I like that term: "the worried well", and I must admit that all this talk of pasta and tomatoes is making me nostalgic for the dinners my mother served us kids when my father was away. Macaroni and canned tomatoes, with butter and salt.  M-m-m-m-m-m-m ... I have to get back to the supermarket!

CBC: Canadian snowbirds told to come home as some insurers warn medical insurance will be restricted

• Johnson, Medoc have given policyholders until March 23 to come home or risk losing emergency medical insurance

"Do as you're told or else" may well become a motto hung over the main door to Parliament.

I've never bothered with insurance, except the obligatory contents insurance demanded by my landlord.

And a commenter to the CBC article brings home the reason why I've never bothered with dental insurance:

• Imagine if insurance companies run the healthcare system. They'll be telling Doctors when to give and to cut off treatment- just like my dental plan today.
• ... thinking is really difficult for some people, that's what's so appealing about Trump, no thinking required.

There's already a documentary on YouTube -- "A Planned Pandemic Storm" -- discussing the typical "problem-reaction-solution" syndrome of mind control.  I've downloaded it to watch later.

Apparently it's rumoured that all one needs to do is wash one's hands and sing "Happy Birthday" and all will be well.

Comments on the video:

• Unity Calling - 2 days ago: It's the perfect crime. Genius in fact. People self isolating will be deemed as having Covid19 even of it is just a normal cold. I know 3 people who think they might have it..think is the key word. They are being told what to think.

Here's a movie that was referred to by a commenter: "12 Monkeys" 1995, with Brad Pitt.

• In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.

Google's selling/renting it - apparently not a philanthropic bone in its corporate body.

Below is a free video I will be watching as soon as I upload this post. No -- after I check to see if there are any cans of tomatoes left at the supermarket.
