It looks like, hopefully, some pretty good news for a change no matter which way you want to spin it politically that you can see for yourself with two articles posted below. The UK scientist who was at the heart of the panic virus projections that became an economic inferno in the West, has now scaled back the doomsday numbers way down and then assured Britain that there will be enough beds for people after all. This, at a time, when the UK is being hit pretty good with this flu.

They were unaware that so many people had the virus already, which will bring the death toll percentages way down the more information is known. Both the scientist himself and even Prince Charles have it now too, including Boris Johnson now too. Meaning that, if this flu is as contagious as the experts say it is, then that must mean that many, many more people already have this flu than otherwise is/can be known, particularly in Europe.

By the way, testing on this not easy, requires a lab, and is not cheap, and so I am not sure how the home testing kit that was being offered to Americans would work? But regardless, the more that is known, it looks like the more this virus will be downgraded.

One of the biggest problems all along in this whole mess is that no one was trusting the Chicoms with their numbers.

However, the numbers coming out of South Korea are trustworthy. South Korea was hit pretty good with this flu too a few months ago, but is now well on its way out of this, and did not lockdown the country to do it. From my several visits there in the past, it was obvious they already have some stricter protocols already in place with regard to such health concerns that is part of their daily routine. Regardless, those who are recovering now in South Korea are eating deeply into with those now getting the flu, and so are sliding downhill out of this on their own natural bell curve that is routine with the flu season - and this particular flu is looking to be just a little bit worse than others. This is not to say this virus cannot be a killer in certain targeted people, and is doing this more than usual, sometimes even the young in limited numbers, but we are slowly confirming this is not the Spanish Flu - far from it.

However, all of this also brings up the potential specter that the Spanish Flu pandemic scenario in full panic mode requiring lockdown house arrest measures in order to stop, might be looking more and more like another hoax coming from our elites?

Time will tell, and if so, much more propaganda will be coming out to cover everyone's tracks. The UK scientist already admitted it will take decades to pay for this particular lockdown. Wonderful. Yet common sense strongly suggests that totalitarian solutions never work anyway because they cannot target the problem as they try to take care of everything rather than what specifically needs to be dealt with. This is precisely why socialism never works. It requires a total solution - a secular salvation that is impossible to obtain this side of the grave. As such, totalitarian solutions have a miserable historical record, and actually make the problems far worse than they actually are. Secular idealism in the mind distort the ability to resolve specific problems as they conjure up total solutions which are impossible to execute.

The other article comes from a more liberal 'scientific' persuasion with a liberal spin on it that touts social distancing (lockdown is not being touted) that will spare the overcrowding of the hospitals to level off the spiking of numbers that also helped foster much panic inside the hospitals and clinics themselves - but the message is pretty close to the more conservative one I posted above that this particular flu is in the process of being downgraded the more is known about it. The UK scientist's computer models now are showing that at worst, 20,000 in the UK may die, but the number of deaths will likely be even considerably lower the more information comes in.

Let us hope and pray this is indeed the case, and again, if so, this also reveals the great problem with postmodern science these days where scientists are virtual Chicken Littles who "Cry Wolf" all the time for any number of different problems and reasons, particularly those of the environmental persuasion. They claim to be secular empiricists, but always come up with semi-apocalypti c scenarios to scare people into economic and political actions they would never otherwise take. So far, this latest scare is the biggest, most expensive, and most dangerous one we have ever seen in the history of the West.

Scientists are not prophets. Yet they routinely take this mantle upon themselves, but amazingly never take responsibility when they are wrong, nor suffer the consequences accordingly. They seem, however, to be well paid with cush jobs. The scientist in the New Scientist article  is now in self-isolation. How can it be that individual isolation is the answer to a socialist problem?
