He also highlights how Chinese state media organs savaged the “herd immunity” approach, which was initially considered but then rejected by several western leaders, as a violation of “human rights.”

Sweden, which went for the herd immunity approach by refusing to enforce a lockdown and came out economically better than any other European country, was also targeted by the bots, as was British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was accused of engaging in “genocide” by initially considering the herd immunity approach.

Senger’s conclusion explores why China aggressively emphasized the need for global lockdowns.

“The most benign possible explanation for the CCP’s campaign for global lockdowns is that the party aggressively promoted the same lie internationally as domestically—that lockdowns worked.
For party members, when Wuhan locked down it likely went without saying that the lockdown would “eliminate” coronavirus; if Xi willed it to be true, then it must be so. This is the totalitarian pathology that George Orwell called “double-think.” But the fact that authoritarian regimes always lie does not give them a right to spread deadly lies to the rest of the world, especially by clandestine means.”
“And then there’s the possibility that by shutting down the world, Xi Jinping, who vaulted through the ranks of the party, quotes ancient Chinese scholars, has mastered debts and derivatives, studies complexity science, and envisions a socialist future with China at its center, knew exactly what he was doing.”

Cuomo requires all visitors to New York to undergo virus testing...
Now, travelers must show proof of a negative test taken within three days of arriving in the Empire State, and must also quarantine for three more days — and get a new COVID-19 test on the fourth.

If that’s positive, they must isolate for two weeks, the governor said at an Albany press briefing.

OK. Interesting. But:

"Anxiety, depression and insomnia were most common among recovered COVID-19 patients in the study who developed mental health problems..."

I think quarantine is doing that to people with and without covid.

Indeed, the whole quarantine situation cases a lot of problems with people's mental stability.

Earlier today I had a great virtual workshop at work with a (self-proclaimed :LOL2:) quarantine-expert who gave us advice how to make life for yourself better while being at home most of the time. He did a very good job and it actually ended up in us giving advice to each other.
One of the things he told was that lots of people have difficulties due to the situation. And this was group of people who are high educated, most of us have a family living with us and we all work a few days a week (and thus have social contacts due to that).
Now imagine someone who's single and without a job... Maybe even insecurity about money, because of the lost job...

I really think that the world just has too many snowflakes due to leftardism ideals. Back in my day, men were men...and the women knew it!

"It seems more that it is mainly the power of certain memories that makes the elderly feel that everything was better before. In old age we tend to remember the positive experiences of the past, the negative ones we give much less attention. You can see the functioning of our brain as a network of events and knowledge of, among other things, certain people, things or times. The relationships between these "hubs" of information can be drawn as lines within an associative network. When we think back to one of our beautiful memories, we not only experience pleasure, the line between the two "hubs" also becomes a bit thicker (stronger). By regularly thinking back to these positive memories, thicker lines are created, so that the associations become stronger and we can better remember the positive things. Activating the positive memories more often makes them appear much more prominent than the negative ones, which can give us the idea that everything was better before."

Fucking town council just made masks mandatory here for the next two weeks.

Should ask the cunts if we have to sew a star on our coats too.:Pissed5:
Yes, because protecting lives is soo much the same as killing people... :Confused:
