It's taking us all to school.

Patient Zero was discovered December 1. From what we know of the virus today, he could have been infected anytime after late October. During that month, how many did he interact with? Was he really patient zero, or was the real patient zero an asymptomatic superspreader, quietly infecting Wuhan's millions for a month before the first of them fell ill? What are we to make of the following?

We see in China today what the WHO is encouraging globally: censorship, brute force compelling obedience, and ubiquitous dependence on the state for our lives.

I consider acts like the 'hug a Chinese' initiative as equivalent of mass murder. How can people be so unreasonable as to fail to preserve their lives for a momentary feeling of smugness? That susceptibility is built into their indoctrinations from birth, and reinforced daily by propaganda. Perhaps my own youth was so starkly different that I cannot relate to their native obedience to the state.

All I know is that I cannot relate. It makes no sense to me.

We are plunging into a world where we will be subjects or compost, by the will of the overlords wielding the sword of state. If we will be free, we will make our freedom. That is what I am preparing to do. I recommend preparation not only for the pandemic, but what comes after.
