you are doing exactly what they want you to do, im mortified for the people i see running around like headless chickens today with masks and gloves on. All governments want us in constant fear, it has always been the same, this is just the latest edition. what would people be like if there was a virus that if you got you had a 1 % chance of living? id rather be dead than to buy into fear like this.
Fear is the real threat to the world. As Leo and Boris said the virus cannot be stopped only slowed.
Hopefully enough so the health systems can cope.
Fear is the last thing Governments want because if it really takes hold society will collapse.
That is why all governments are stepping in and throwing .billions of imaginary money, that it hasnt got at it.
It will be paid back by taxpayers for generations.
But if they don't what will happen? Society will break down, no law, survival of the fittest, every one for themselves. No law, no arrests. People taking what they want. That sounds extreme doesnt it. But that is exactly why every government in the world is throwing billions of imaginary money at it, to try and stop that.
So we think grand, work away at it governments.
But this is guess work. You heard Leo and Boris. This has never happened before so no idea about the right way to manage it. I hope they are all right about it.
Thats the economic or money side of it. If the health systems gets overwhelmed with too many cases at once then the money side is fucked. Leo and Boris said worst is to come from the number of infections point of view. They cant stop it but they hope to slow it down so it can be managed.
Imagine a health system where there are thousands of cases at once and not enough medicine, ventilators, beds or staff to deal with it. Like in Italy where they have.to decide who gets help and people over 80 wont be treated. And they say the worst is to come. I hope governments are making the right decisions.
But just in case they have police and army on stand by to protect the health system, enforce social distancing, protect supermarkets, chemists and petrol stations if the population don't abide by rules. Worst case if it drags on, people get cabin fever and/or run short of funds looting and riots could kick in. Like Tallaght Lidl in the snow.
Last thing Governments want. Because this world of imagined realities would collapse into chaos. Our economy, legal system, currency and society are just that, imagined realities. Abstract concepts that we all go along with as long as it works and suits us. The very real coronavirus has fucked the economic reality and to save it governments need to press the pause button while fucking billions of imaginary money at it.
