off-guardian | A “case” is anyone who tests positive for Sars-Cov-2, using the notoriously unreliable PCR tests which produce huge numbers of false positives.
Even supposing the positive test is real, the vast majority of
“cases” are asymptomatic. Between false positives, unreliable tests and
asymptomatic infection, a “case” count for sars-cov-2 is borderline
meaningless.
Let’s say there are symptoms AND a positive test, and assume they’re
not just a false positive who has a cold or the flu. Well, even the vast
majority of the “symptomatic cases” will only ever be mildly ill. In
fact of the 6 million active cases in the world, only 1% are considered
severely ill. The majority of them will survive.
The CDC estimates the infection fatality ratio of Sars-Cov-2 to be
about 0.26%. A number perfectly in line with severe flu seasons.
Virtually every country in Europe is now reporting average, or even below average, mortality.
Broadly speaking, the vast majority of the world is, and will likely remain, absolutely fine.
But things aren’t going back to normal, are they? In fact, they are
getting worse. The governments have got their foot in the door, and they
have no intention of moving it.
Masks are now mandatory in the UK, and Australia, and New Zealand, and Germany and France. And many others. The Democrat’s nominee for President, Joe Biden, has said they should be mandatory in the US as well.
Every day there are more and more articles discussing the need for mandatory vaccination, or something even worse.
And everywhere the language is changing. “The New Normal” was about beating Covid19, but now it’s about “covid19 and future pandemics”, or the “other colossal challenges facing humanity”….which can mean literally anything they want it to mean.
All this is based on the ever-increasing number of cases, without any reference to the fact deaths are falling.
