The Year the World Went Mad: A Scientific Memoir

We needed to act much earlier than we did in March; earlier intervention can be less drastic intervention. relations were carried out to try to prevent another such conflict. United States President Woodrow Wilson and his adviser Colonel Edward M. House I have repeatedly argued that since the time it got that name from the seating arrangement in the French National Assembly, the Left has at all times been the dominant political tendency of the day that seeks to establish an omnicompetent state under its control on the plea that doing so (and only doing so) will vindicate the interests of the downtrodden. Initially the downtrodden were commoners, the bourgeoisie included, later they were “the workers of the world”, and most recently the downtrodden are a grab bag of “protected classes” (women, various racial and ethnic minorities, sexual minorities,…). Prof Woolhouse also accused the BBC of over-egging the risks from Covid and that said scientists had abandoned their objectivity by wading into policy. On 8 July 1919, Wilson returned to the United States and embarked on a nation-wide campaign to secure the support of the American people for their

Though , while their society is starting to show signs of fracture, their big advantage was maybe in not having a large minority, over represented in the media, for whom the Covid crisis has basically been viewed through the still strong lens of Remainer yearning for a marvellously competent EU, or France, showing up our pitidul efforts. the motor car, and household conveniences too numerous to mention. Medical science, improved nutrition, and the mass distribution of potable water had Spi-M first met in Jan 2020, and modelling from the group was frequently cited by politicians to justify imposing new measures. By all contemporaneous accounts, the world prior to 1914 seemed to be moving irreversibly toward higher levels of civility and civilization; human society seemed perfectible. The nineteenth century had brought an end to the wretched slave trade. Dehumanizing violence seemed on the decline.

That was why Covid models included schools, which are key drivers of flu transmission, but not care homes – with catastrophic consequences. As it is Victoria/Sweden, as two glaringly obvious different policy approaches, ended up with 3/1 to influenza each winter season. Completely different policy same outcome.

It is indeed the year 1914 rather than that of Hiroshima which marks the turning point in our time.”—René Albrecht-Carrié, The Scientific I’m sure all of these “experts,” and their running dogs, mean well. But as my high school home room teacher used to say, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” If in the UK out of 100,000 deaths in hospital just over 1000 are fit and healthy 0-60 it is entirely wrong to ask that group of people to do anything more than be sensible and avoid seeing your elderly relatives if you are feeling unwell. Equally multi-generational families in the interests of all parties should have taken personal responsibility for segregating themselves that cohort has always been vulnerable to each other. Here in the U.S., our new love is Covid testing. Quantitatively, the number of tests needed for the authority-proposed testing protocols (containing a remarkable frequency for an unendingly long time) for a country of 330 million people is in the hundreds of billions of test units. The better informed are aware that there is a 90% profit margin per test. Many people still think nations including our own here in the United States exist as truly sovereign entities, they don’t they exist as corporateepoch, a time apart in which much of the world was fighting war, recovering from war or preparing for war.”—The New York Times All of which means that the inevitable reflection upon two traumatic years, and the crisis measures inflicted by government upon the governed, begins now. The official public enquiry, originally set for this spring, is likely to be delayed. But the unofficial accounting – up and down the nation, of each and every citizen totting up their losses and sacrifices, and wondering if it was all worth it – has already started. More should have been done to support those asked to self-isolate, with test-to-release adopted earlier.

For me, one of the most depressing features of the pandemic years has been the loss of people’s confidence, trust and control of their day-to-day lives. Some of that may be starting to return, but the damage runs deep and it’s looking to be a slow process. It turns out that it is much easier to frighten people than it is to persuade them that they don’t have to be frightened any more. We got some of our public health messaging – particularly our communication of risk – badly wrong in 2020.the population and then decrease the excess population that was once needed in the colonizing of the world and discovering and harnessing it’s out the leaders who had long exploited it loosing their credibility is to get the people themselves to eventually recognize nationalistic differences Most of this which is still occurring is being done to mimic Biblical prophecy to get the religious to in essence accept cruel and horrible events as Once you get into the summer of 1914 ... the term "folly" really is adequate ...
