Freedom Days 2

It is punishingly hot right here. I have a sofa dangerously close to solar orbit while he fabric tag tells me the wrong sort of information. I may become a statistic of heatwave, a puddle in the age of covid.

Do we really believe our esteemed leaders are self isolating. Only Darth Johnson could be so bold. Or so stupid as to advertise the insanity of his recklessness by risking he disease. His health minister proclaimed lifting restrictions would be good for the nations's health while proceeding to catch the virus, despite being vaccinated. Absolutely the worst possible way to start this period. So everyone else went clubbing. 

The disturbing aspect to all this is that he is enacting the herd immunity policy right wing crank tanks and dark moneymen have been pushing since day one. All in the name of profit. These people have clearly been part of the government thinking process for a long time. Now they have their way and capitalism is actively killing us. hey want an end to the so called pingdemic. Behind that cute piece of propaganda is the truth: out of sight, app of mind. If you can't get pinged then you must be ok for work. It is a terrible metaphor for the Work Capability Assessment: ignore the condition the person claims to have, in the name of highlighting what they apparently can do, and they don't get he benefit and are left to struggle. 

Same people, same ideology. They are not just class enemies, they will see any of us dead in the name of this herd immunity ideology. They claim this is a bitter pill best swallowed sooner rather than later. But they ignore all the mitigation that could be employed between now and later, such as completing the vaccine rollout. Now there is less of an incentive to get jabbed - you can go partying anyway. The truth is this period is really just the pre-lockdown period. We will achieve nothing as a result because, at 100,000 cases a day (a figure no one is now contesting, including the government), they will have to be another lockdown and so backwards we go.

Years and years ago, before anyone had ever heard of disease and pandemics, I started this blog. I gave it a stupid name from an Alan Partri...
