I know several people who have had this thing one of them being myself. In every case it was like flu, sometimes mild sometimes not so much but still flu-like. You will inevitably be told of people who had a very bad experience but that also happens with flu. You will be told of lingering after effects. Also happens with flu.

Polls conducted by KEKST CNC (available via Google) show that Britons on average believe that the birdemic has killed 7% of the population to date. Americans believe that 9% of their countrymen have been lost. In America, the reality is that 0.04% of people have died, according the government's own cooked numbers (i.e., it's much lower).

This means the general public is acting on the basis of beliefs that are wrong by a factor of 200-300. Denmark is the worst of all, incidentally -- a full 300X over-estimate on behalf of the public. The media and world governments have done nothing whatsoever to correct this absurd bias, in fact they seem to have created in intentionally.

I find this quite terrifying. For many years I pondered "how could the German people have permitted the Holocaust?". Well, tis rather clear now.

Nevertheless, do not forget we are fully warned of all of this. We must cleave as never before to our heavenly Father through our Lord Jesus Christ.

@Nova - Indeed. This depends absolutely on people ignoring and over-riding their own experience, and instead believing what is stated (today) by the media (who are also their only source of 'official' information).

The Establishment have been working on this for the past couple of generations; including via educational establishments.

Personal experience is termed anecdote - too biased to be true; common sense is denigrated as false consciousness (a product of evil social conditioning). Truth lies in officially funded and/or 'peer-reviewed' publications - endorsed by the Establishment (if not, it's intrinsically Denialism, Fake News and Conspiracy Theories).

This happened in medicine through the 1990s as evidence based medicine (EBM); doctor's are now supposed to ignore what their individual patients tell them, and what happens to individual patients following treatment - and treat them according to group averages endorsed by the Models (protocols; 'based on' mega- randomised controlled trials (c95% of which are funded by Big Pharma, and the rest by government agencies).

Excellent post!

As far as I know, nobody has ever proposed using influenza as a catalyst for a sweeping and comprehensive global reset either.

@Frank

"nobody has ever proposed using influenza as a catalyst for a sweeping and comprehensive global reset either."

Not up to now... But *from-now* the machinery is in-place to keep the reset going. For example, if the new pandemic microscope was put onto the inevitable 2020-21 influenza, it will certainly be 'discovered' that it is a 'different' flu; a flu that 'might' be as lethal as Ebola, or whatever...

So, to be on the 'safe' side, we should then act according to... whatever the official Models say (and any model can tell us only what the model is set up to include (assumptions); a model merely measures the outcome of what we have already assumed)...

Yep. So true.
And the fact is that it was planned beforehand. Probably long before. I just downloaded my own copy of the Rockefeller Foundation's 2010 document entitled, "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.
It has sections on how the world might respond to pandemics, including this scenario:
LOCK STEP
A world of tighter top-down government control and more
authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing
citizen pushback.

Amazing: all predicted a decade before. And I'm wagering that their AI simulations of us tell them almost exactly how the masses are going to respond.

They want to maximize the economic and social pain, before coming out with the Golden God savior of the vax. They may screw up, though, and just crash the whole Systme.

@William - Indeed. Part of the problem is that people don't know or forget how horrible real flu often is; because they tend to say that a cold is flu, maybe to get out of work.

I used to get real full-blown flu most winters, but since I took 25 micrograms (1000IU) vitamin D daily I haven't had flu (or, at least, not full-blown) - for which I am grateful, because having my regular migraine on top of flu was a bit of a nightmare.

I assume that China's extreme overreaction is what got the ball rolling, and then the powers that shouldn't be seized on the pretext for a coup. (The original plan was probably to use the "climate emergency" instead.)

So why did China overreact? Presumably because they had good reason to believe the thing was a bioweapon and not a run-of-the-mill respiratory virus.

@Wm - I don't know, but one reason may be that China is a part of the exact same Establishment that implemented the Global lockdown. It may be that this was simply their role - as implied by China's participation in Event 201 of October 2019 (by the Great Reset People and Bill Gates/ WHO) - which simulated a c.virus outbreak originating in China: https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/

It's all out there, the plans all spelled-out - with only the underlying motivations faked.

Blogger Hari Seldon said...

The Event 201 scenario predicts economic chaos, international trade and travel restrictions and censoring of "misinformation" but not absurd stay-at-home orders and mandatory shuttering of businesses, churches, etc. The latter measures apparently were pioneered by China during the SARS epidemic in 2003, when 30,000 Beijing residents were confined to their homes or quarantine sites and all schools and entertainment venues were closed (https://www.wired.com/2003/04/beijing-undergoes-sars-lockdown/).

I suspect that China's draconian interventions during the "novel" coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan were a typical, heavy-handed Communist overreaction, the SARS lockdown on steroids, which the global elite then latched onto as the perfect vehicle for achieving its totalitarian aims. Or perhaps China planned it out in coordination with the global elite. Hard to say.

In any case, it's interesting to note that the Event 201 exercise fails to anticipate global house arrest even with a pandemic that kills 65 million people! Perhaps the Plan was updated after October...

It's unfortunate your view of time is wrong (in the prior post) and getting a better grip of historical timing cycles would clear it up.

Time is not linear except by believing it to be a priori.

It's cyclical.

The details of what triggers the historical change are irrelevant.

Our time now is a time in the cycle where the fake democratic merchant rule collapses to be replaced by tyranny/police state.

Written about by Plato and the philosophers of India as well - we are in for it because the cycle is here, now again as it was already observed 3000 years ago.

@FX - I used to share the Platonic view of time; but it has no place for mortal life, or human beings, or for incarnation (Men with bodies) - therefore I found it incompatible with Christianity. I'm aware many others have tried to square this circle, but I regard them as having failed - and distorted Christianity in the process.

HS - It's remarkable how much of 201 *has* been shared with the public (although there is that 'law' by which demons seem compelled to tell people what they will do, before doing it - maybe the origin of the villain monologue in Hollywood movies!) - although the information is hidden in plain sight from a public who regard this, the UN 2030 agenda and the Great Reset (linked with 201) as the wild imaginings of tinfoil-helmeted conspiracy theorists.

But I don't for a millisecond suppose that the whole thing was made public, just as the real motivations behind the bleeding-hearted concern of the mega-rich and media-moguls for the environment, some races, women, QWERTY people &c &c - are the true motivations of these individuals, and those whom they serve.

@BC Indeed. I find the Rockefeller Foundation's "Lock Step" scenario from 2010 to be far more disturbingly accurate as a prediction/forewarning of 2020 - down to its envisioning of mandatory face masks and body-temperature checks - but I would not expect the whole plan to be made public.

I have the kind of mind that wants to understand exactly what decisions were made by whom, when and why during this historical inflection-point - and maybe that story will be told someday - but I believe you have warned in the past about paying too much attention to the details when we already know everything we *need* to know.

Re the cyclical nature of time, this doesn't mean it's not linear as well. There are cycles but they don't repeat themselves. The procedure may be more like a kind of irregular spiral.

Yes, yes, yes! And the stats. are there for people to consult, but they don't . . . they stir in their hysteria. On the CDC's own web site, I see that influenza and pneumonia accounted for 16% of American deaths for some weeks in early 2019 (when I myself was terribly sick for about seven weeks -- I thought that I might die). 16% of all deaths! Was this national news? Nope. Just a bad year, as they happen with some regularity. And, yet, people don't seem to remember the day before yesterday. They have become children with no memory.

I just find it all so shocking -- not that there are powerful people with ill will, but that so many people throughout society are so incredibly blind. Stupid. Gullible. Credulous. Obedient. Amazing . . .

It turns out I am capable of learning, because my view has changed since late February when at the urgings of a 'prepper' type I stocked up food in anticipation of this flu being handled the same way the 1919 flu or the plague was handled - weathering its spread as well as possible until it burned itself out. Then the lockdown happened and has been pretty effective some places - particularly here in Western Australia. But a funny thing happened to me - I would say be Grace. First, I saw that Death was coming in some form in any case and that I couldn't swallow any longer that death was my enemy or the negation of life and with it all that is good. Then it became starkly plain that that the purpose of my life to be as present to God as possible. So the flu was the event that made me realise just how important and how difficult being present to God actually is. I find it almost impossible. Almost. A lifetime of being trained up to avoid God (hidden behind the central fact of our existence - our mortality) is not easily overcome. But making a wholehearted attempt breaks the bonds of fear and and the absolute grip of suffering. For me it is the difference that Dante saw between Hell and Purgatory as an inner change of attitude where the sinner no longer seeks to justify his acts but instead accepts his sin and consequent suffering joyfully confident in his ultimate salvation.

Hypothetically even with 0.99 probability (and from what I’ve read no test is anywhere near this) of detection means that out of ten thousand tests, one hundred will show up positive falsely, if no one has a ‘real’ infection. But of course we can’t rely on professional judgement of symptoms and their importance, because we all ‘know’ individual judgment is unreliable as it does not rely on a fixed procedure, unlike a test verified by ‘science’.

Perhaps the authorities should prefix the name of every respiratory virus with the word novel from now on. That will fix it!
