Best case scenario is we destroy the economy even further, lock ourselves in our homes even more, and STILL only barely manage to control the pandemic?
Worst case scenario, if we do things like Sweden did, we're all going to get infected within the next 30 days?
Okay, maybe we will. But then what? Would we all die? Or would the health care system collapse, as they said it would back in March?
Notice the forecast goes exponential no matter what we do, UNLESS we go into self-imposed quarantine, accept further losses of rights, and stop seeing even 2 or 3 close family members/friends...
This is supposedly the official stance of the Canadian government - that we're doomed unless we go back into lockdown? They've already been telling us that this is going to go on for "many years", and that we've only seen the first small portion of the changes.
They're setting this next lockdown up to be permanent. As in, "the new normal" will mean never going back to freely going about our business, pursuing life, liberty, and happiness. No more mingling freely with other humans. Permission required before interacting with anyone else. Every interaction (of every kind) tracked and recorded and scrutinized forever. It's the end of freedom - permanently.
We've absolutely lost our minds up here in Canada, I swear! The only sane people are the ones NOT shitting their pants in submission to the system and obedience to "health" dictates that make absolutely no sense!
Sweden took the orange path from the beginning back in March. Almost nobody there is dying! They didn't give up all their rights, they're not in permanent state of emergency, they don't have people walking around in masks and visors and space helmets!
They took the orange route long ago, so where is their second wave? Why is nobody dying of covid19 in Sweden, and they've had no lockdown, no masks, no collapsed health care system, and no destroyed economy?
Why did the mainstream media bash Sweden for months, but now that their tactic has clearly paid off, no longer mentions it at all? Sweden was right!
With misleading 'reporting' and graphics like this "Covid-19 Forecast", logic is tossed aside in favour of fear, superstition, and submission. Oh save us, powerful and wise government officials, save us!!
By deciding how much testing is being done, the powers that be can adjust the amount of positive cases being reported, and their close friends the mainstream media can turn that into as much fear as is required to justify lockdowns, restrictions, and societal changes that otherwise would have been impossible in 2019.
