The New York Times reported this week that “New York threatens Orthodox Jewish areas with Lockdown over virus.” The Times reports that, facing a worrying spike in coronavirus cases in Orthodox Jewish neighbourhoods, New York City health officials began this week carrying out emergency inspections at private Jewish orthodox schools.
NY State officials released statistics showing that the positivity rate in some Orthodox Jewish neighbourhoods had grown to anywhere from 3 percent to 6 percent, significantly more than the city’s overall rate of between 1 percent and 2 percent. This means that Covid 19 spreads within the Orthodox Jewish community at a rate about 3-6 times higher than other New Yorkers.
Those who follow the spread of Covid amongst the Jewish community aren’t surprised by these findings. Back in April the Jewish press admitted that “British Jews are overrepresented by a factor of eight in their country’s death toll from COVID-19.” Surely this overrepresentation should have been an alarming bit of information. Yet this fact was hardly covered by British press for reasons I suspect you can guess. The Times of Israel, however, attempted to offer some explanation for the anomaly. The Israeli outlet referenced the failure “to observe social distancing protocols at some Haredi Orthodox synagogues and institutions…People are touching the same surfaces, the same siddurim (prayer books).”
The Jewish State that performed very well in limiting the virus in the period from March –May and saw few deaths, is now the reddest country in the world, ahead of all other countries in its Covid 19 infectious rate. Presently the Jewish State identifies between seven to nine thousand new cases a day, a number that is much higher than Britain’s which has a population six times that of Israel.
Earlier this week the Jewish State released a demographic study of Covid 19 case distribution within different segments of its population. The data revealed that while in the general population the rate of positive tests has not yet exceeded 10%, among the ultra-Orthodox the percentage of positive tests is no less than 26%. More than a quarter of Israel’s Orthodox Jews tested are ‘infected.’
What is it about Orthodox Jews and corona? This question can be addressed from a theological point of view, why is God tormenting his favourite and most dedicated matzo-balls, turning their society into a covid hub?
Of course it is possible that God is acting as he has throughout the Jewish past, and is punishing his chosen children for one reason or another. Orthodox Jews are fatalistic about their fortunes, and accept their deity’s master plan for the world. Back in March, at the peak of the Covid 19 crisis an Israeli Rabbi expressed these ideas in the clearest form. In a peculiar video that some may interpret as a parody, the Orthodox Rabbi urged his followers not to worry about the corona virus as “the benevolent father looks after his children”… “The corona,” he said “is for the Goyim not for the people of Israel.”
Another explanation for the high rate of infection among Orthodox Jews is that the almighty actually uses his much-loved sons and daughters as distributors of the virus, most probably because God, being reasonable and scientific, doesn’t believe in Fauci’s or Bill Gate’s vaccine fantasies. By this logic, God must also believe in herd immunity. If the notion and the science of herd immunity is valid, the Orthodox Jewish community is closer than any other group in approaching such protection. Under this theory of Covid 19, the Orthodox Jews may not be ‘the Light onto the Nations’ but actually the “Light unto the Covid.”
There is also a scientific and social explanation for the growing saturation of Covid cases within the Jewish community. It appears that, in general, Orthodox Jews refrain from social distancing and/or refuse to wear facemasks. They do not take the Covid hysteria very seriously. This can be explained. Haredi Jews follow their religion in the strictest possible manner. They are devoted to their own legalistic code (Halacha Law). When there is a conflict or even a clash between the Jewish law and the civil laws of their host nation, Jewish Law is prioritised and, if necessary, the civil law is ignored. For example, that is the reason Orthodox Jewish institutions do not see themselves as obligated to follow any ‘gender equality’ LGBTQ or other current ‘multicultural decrees.’
The same applies to Covid 19. The Orthodox Jews follow their own religion, and strictly observe the laws of their not so merciful God. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and Neil Ferguson will have to work much harder on their credibility before the Rabbis notice their existence!
Of course, due to their religious culture and the clannish nature of the Jewish orthodox ghetto as well as their characteristic extended family cell and cross generational environment, Orthodox society is prone to spreading Covid amongst themselves. They are clearly disproportionately infected which seems to be a great concern to the people who live around them and feel threatened by this fact.
The practical meaning of their rate of infection is that the Orthodox Jewish quarters in the USA, Britain and, of course, Israel may soon be the safest places as far as Covid 19 is concerned, as these communities that are suffocated with cases are closer than anyone else to herd immunity. The likelihood of this peculiar result is supported by the fact that despite the rapidly rising number of cases within the Orthodox community, the rate of Covid death is dropping to statistically infinitesimal proportions. The meaning of it is that this society appears to be reaching the necessary collective immunity. Maybe we can stop looking at Sweden that is clearly doing well at the moment and start to look at the Jewish ghetto as these segregated religious communities have a very interesting Covid story to tell.
Hmm…
If the ultra-orthodox are especially likely to be infected, perhaps we could demand that they wear some form of conspicuous identification?
…purely as a public health measure, of course. Only until the virus vanishes.
…around here, whenever one enters a hospital or clinic, one is asked if one has experienced fever, etc in the last three weeks (the correct answer is ‘no.’) Perhaps people should also be asked if they are Orthodox Jews.
Very interesting, thanks!
I’m sure it’s an extremely sensitive issue. It’s one thing to jail a guy who insists on throwing parties — that fits nicely with the Puritan/Orwellian ‘no fun’ thread of US culture. And of course it’s open season on Christian gatherings; we barely need an excuse anymore to deny their religious rights.
But making a point to go after a Jewish community is the kind of thing that gives politicians nightmares. It’s a no-win scenario. They either open themselves up to antisemitism charges, or they leave them alone — and at best get hammered for obvious double-standards (obviously not too big of a deal if they can rationalize BLM mass gatherings into the critical memory hole) or at worst end up with inarguable evidence that the health measures can be ignored with minimal impact.
Jew influence of civil society has been going on for a long time…
There is one common denominator–the “elephant in the room” that most people are loathe to name, either out of fear of being called “anti-semitic”, racist, or other derogatory term-the jews… I don’t care…
I came of age during the first so-called “civil-rights” movement and saw for myself the underhanded dealings, the demonization of decent, law-abiding whites, and in general, the deterioration of civil society.
Almost all of the “civil-rights” workers and demonstration “handlers” were of one persuasion–New York based leftist communist jews.
They cared not one wit about true “civil rights”, but were there to create hate and discontent among their black charges (who were too stupid or naive to see that they were being used to suborn and destroy legitimate government and society–a favorite communist tactic).
These New York-based “carpetbaggers” fomented their hate and discontent, only to become future “civil-rights” attorneys, race-hustlers, and America-hating leftist communists.
The so-called “non-violent civil-rights demonstrations” were anything but “non-violent”. Robberies, rapes, and other criminal acts were common, but never reported, as even the “mainstream media” was “in on the game” and conveniently turned off their cameras during the acts of violence. You see, even then,”creating crises” was a part of the agenda.
The “beginning of the end” of America was the use of federal troops against white Americans, which, in itself was a violation of “posse commitatus”–the prohibition on the use of federal troops for domestic “law enforcement” purposes.
As most whites were (and still are) law-abiding, they (we) were “steamrollered” by the use of federal troops to crush honest dissent. We never recovered from those unconstitutional actions. It was all downhill from there…
Even Corona wants another goah at the shoah.
The word ‘case’ needs to be banished. In the old days a ‘case’ was someone who was ill. Now it means you got a positive PCR test, which may have used 40 amplification cycles and is registering a tiny fragment of some virus as a ‘positive’. This is why a paw-paw fruit in Tanzania received a positive when ‘it’ was given the test. From now on talk about deaths (even that is massively padded) ‘assigned’ to Covid, or hospitalizations. The fact that there are massive ‘second waves’ … of cases in European countries with NO or tiny increases in deaths, should tell you something.
Shouldn’t we be past the point where we accept government reporting at face value on the number of cases and number of deaths? There is no reliable test or no standardized method of deciding what is or isn’t an actual case. Death rates are notoriously inflated by treating deaths with COVID-19 as deaths from COVID-19.
This discussion concerning an important legal case in Ohio well illuminates the various sorts of government fraud and journalistic malpractice taking place. Time to become really litigious in the face of officialdom’s lies that have overturned the economic, mental, and social viability of many millions of victims.

Yes indeed. I have a corroborating evidence from a report describing a coconut that fell on someones head in Congo was tested positive in a clinic after only 12 PCR cycles.
That crazed man on the left smiles as if he has just won a million in a lottery. This kind of supersilious smile is typical for the know-it-all morons.
When the ex-Head of Pfizer Research says the “Pandemic” is OVER you can believe it is — this is someone firmly on “their” side — yes there was some kind of “thing” spread out by the ChiComs upon discovery in WuHan, it was never actually tested properly to determine if it was a “new” Virus — but regardless as with all CVirus outbreaks it peaked (back on April 8th) and it is over — now all we have is the FRAUD as to a “2nd Wave” that is all politics and NWO Agenda leveraged in by FEAR.
People need to stop spreading it — the FEAR and BS — around by blindly agreeing with so much FRAUD as to it being the Bubonic Plague or something it wasn’t and isn’t — and except for the phony “testing” and False Positives — it is over, pending what they release on us next to further their Technocratic takeover NWO “green” Agenda enslavement project….: https://www.globalresearch.ca/chief-science-officer-pfizer-says-second-wave-faked-false-positive-covid-tests-pandemic-over/5724753?fbclid=IwAR3X1YTievkTNgRy9xMJZvftFSgB3makMkCu6yYRY_LmOaYvgNeLexBtpWE

Australia, like all other countries, was provided by China with the DNA sequence of the COVID-19 virus in the first half of January, 2020. That’s why Australia has done extremely poorly by having an infection total per million around 16 times higher than China’s. It should have been lower.
We’ve done about 20 times better than the USA but that’s a low hurdle to jump. If you want to play with the big boys, you have to play against the big boys not the kindergarten kids.
By the way, China has eliminated community transmission and Australia is close. The USA? Not so much. No NATO country has done better than hopeless and neither has Russia, Belarus, Ukraine nor Iran. [email protected]
I presume Jews cluster in downtown London and other large cities. Why compare to whole country rather than against non-Jewish city dwellers?
Why alarmed?
0.06% vs 0.50%
Who cares either way.
WTF, I love Jews now.
It’s just the flu, achi.
A big scale social-medical CO-19 experiment with clear results – and no one covers it?! – Your article is really interesting, thanks a lot Gilad Atzmon!
Gosh Gilad life must be intellectually boring for you right now. Yep those Haredi’s are such low hanging fruit. Like a comedy routine. You can do stand up with those freaks all in black looking diseased even if they don’t have one. Those Jews are just disease carriers along with their other gross character traits the sideburns, beards and hats. Like a sci fy horror movie. Disease carrying thieves and child killers for blood like medieval times. Not very original I am sorry to say, but a good rewrite. Look up the Black Plague and the Jews. That’s what you are going for no?
Invasion of the body snatchers staring Orthodox Jews. There’s an income source. Horror movies with disease spreading Orthodox Jews.
Here is an interesting statistic for you. Half of the Covid deaths in the US are people of color. Black, brown and native.
The reason there are so many Jewish victims of the Holocough is Jews refuse to let the deniers spread ‘hate speech.’ And hydroxychloroquine is every bit as dangerous as zyklon-b. Remember dat Goyim!
And yet, no one has even proven the existence of any C virus per Koch’s Postulates. The tests are fake. So, they can claim a spike or hot spot or surge any where any time. There have been some euthanasia murders. And they count all the pneumonia deaths as C virus deaths. They double count deaths from other causes also as C virus deaths to inflate the numbers. When in history did any country quarantine the healthy? The lockdowns are insane. Masks are harmful. When will the media and politicians figure out the lies of the CDC, WHO? Meanwhile, Dr “Thanos” waits to depopulate the masses via poisonous vaccines. At this rate, he may get to do it even without infinity stones.
In addition to the useful Troll button it is clear that a Retarded button is also needed. Very much needed.
Absolutely correct! Thank you for pointing this out. Back in June, they switched from reporting deaths to reporting cases because deaths were falling and no use to keep the public afraid. Until they stop reporting cases and only report hospitalizations and death statistics thy should not be trusted.
A study, relevant to your post, was recently published in which the author, a doctor, points out that in discussions of the Covid pandemic, it is very important to use terms correctly. Specifically, he argues that even medical establishment has not been consistent to differentiate between Case Fatality Rate (CFR) and Infection Fatality Rate (IFR). Here’s the link:

Could wear pointed yellow hats (pileus cornutus), which were so popular throughout the medieval ages. Unfortunately, most of these haredim have some hats already. An alternative may presents a big problem for the jewdiciary.
I inject hydrochloroquine into my veins everyday, right after my breakfest and remain so far untouched by the the corona virus. Unfortunately, my sight is failing and this might be my last contribution to this blog.
I have almost nothing otherwise in common with Orthodox Jews, but evidently we think as one so far as the Covid lunacy.
Early during the terror-lockdown assault I heard of some US Christian flocks who evidently felt the same way and were trying to live it, but did they all cave in to the fascist-style social and police pressure?
A minister of that persuasion falling ill and then dying of Covid was widely broadcast in the MSM.
Oh Frannie, I think you may have missed the point in your efforts to smear and troll our hosts column.
Gilad, if I’m not mistaken, is suggesting the the orthodox Jewish community’s approach to this nonsense “health crisis” is the right one, which should be emulated by the rest. – No masks, no anti-social distancing, and, as if by magic beyond the ken of the officially recognised “experts” on the matter, herd immunity is achieved.
In this case, a good example is set by our orthodox – as well as by our Swedish – brothers and sisters. Who’da thunk it?! 😀
Love Kali.
A lot is written about Black being over represented amongst covid death, but despite the vast over-representation of Jews in some regions around the world no one dares writing about it since March. However, here is a new statistics for you, when I published this article 3 days ago every 4th Haredi Israeli was covid infected, as for today it is every 3rd Haredi Jew,,,
She is an imbecile and I think Tel Aviv should send us a cleverer troll:)
It seems to me that you propose that it is fascist not to be infected. What a good idea. I prefer to be a fascist to being infected. Or did I get it wrong? But I am a fascist already, what should I do avoid an infection?
Gilad writes:
“the fact that despite the rapidly rising number of cases within the Orthodox community, the rate of Covid death is dropping to statistically infinitesimal proportions.”
“statistically infinitesimal proportions“?!!
Do you have a reference to substantiate this claim Gilad?
The overall stats for Israel’s population don’t seem to bear it out (COVID-19 cases, deaths and case fatality rate). There may have been a modest decline in case fatality rate as in some other countries, but not close to the dramatic decline implied by your comment. But perhaps you have data specific to the orthodox jews within Israel? If so, please share it.
This matters, because everyone and his dog seems to have an opinion about the pandemic, and many speak with great authority and no trace of humility. It is important the discussion remains grounded in fact. Hyperbole isn’t useful. That means caution in making assertions and willingness to back up any claims that are made with credible sources.
Interesting, BTW, that your article makes no mention at all of Palestine or Palestinians. Other than Israeli Arabs, they are not even included in the occupiers’ statistics.
The Palestinians are becoming an invisible people with an unknown plight, Apartheid is working smoothly, much more than in South Africa. No opponent of South African apartheid in the 1960s, 70s or 80s would have written an article about a health crisis in that country without making any mention at all of the non-white population! Remarkable, when one thinks about it!
Gilad my friend. Times are hard and I could write much better things than Fran the ”pigeon fancier” may ever conjure up. But who will pay me?
Was at ”U maleho ….” last week but not much there and we had to drink our beer outside after midnight. A pretty waitress, I had not seen there before, swang her tits at me in joyful manner but what should I have done after I had noticed the sadness in her eyes. What kind life are we having now?
Dude you really don’t get it. He hates those diseased religious Jews. They are always diseased with something, right now it is Covid. He hates them because they are religious Jews.
‘Dude you really don’t get it. He hates those diseased religious Jews. They are always diseased with something, right now it is Covid. He hates them because they are religious Jews.’
How do you know he doesn’t hate them because they are diseased?
It’s idiotic to think you can avoid being infected, or that anything these stupid incompetent institutions do can prevent a virus from completing its natural cycle once it’s at large in the environment, as this 0ne has been since at least last autumn, perhaps longer.
Of course you’re assuming your governments and institutions and media are well-intentioned and care the slightest bit about public health, which they certainly do not. On the contrary, literally every single thing they’ve done has been the opposite of what should have been done.
What’s fascist is to use the pretext of this mild epidemic to drum up a propaganda campaign based on psychological terrorism in order to escalate the police state and terrorize the masses into a state of abject conformity including pressuring their own dissenting members to conform, all toward technocratic-totalitarian goals.
These religious communities have done far better, not only toward preserving their members’ health but most importantly continuing to live as human beings and not as self-dehumanized pod people.
Gilad may “hate” the religion they practice, Fran, but to suggest that he hates the people who who practice it is pure projection on your part.
The hate which you feel for Gilad and the rest of us who share his views on Judaism is yours and yours alone. Own it. Deal with it. Heal yourself!
With love,
Kali.
He does hate them (religious Jews) because they are diseased. They are diseased because they are religious Jews. It is a a bit circular. But all Gilad’s articles are circular. He writes about Jewish identity politics. No. He writes about Jews and then needs a cover so as not to stick out to far in the purity of Jew hatred lane so he couches it in philosophy and sociology. He calls it Jewish identity politics.
In my opinion, it is idiotic to believe that you will be infected anyway and only idiots may express this death wish as no one can predicts what the infection can do to his body. But perhaps you possess some supernatural and prophetic powers so that you can predict what joys are awaiting us in the future.
I can not exactly asses the mildness of this epidemics but perhaps those who have already died could have possibly had different opinion in the last minutes of their lives.
What a fucking phony (with love ). There you were roving a long on a post about Anne Frank, far away from one of your sunshine theories to let us all know that her father wrote her diaries with a ball point pen. So stupid you could have debunked that lie in one nano second had you bothered to google. There is a lot of available science for authenticating inks and paper.
Oh wait did you know AF was Jewish? Oh just got the ball-point pen story out of the blue? A theory promoted by Jew haters, Neo Nazis, and H deniers. Are you an official H denier kali? Has your spiritual consciousness taken that in? And the Protocols? You don’t hate Jews just Judaism?
‘He does hate them (religious Jews) because they are diseased. They are diseased because they are religious Jews. It is a a bit circular. But all Gilad’s articles are circular.

Oh, I really don’t think so, Fran.
I could criticize Gilad in various ways — but he’s not much of a hater.
That’s not his strong suit, so to speak.
You’re just seeking to construct a paradigm that will allow you to dismiss his arguments without actually confronting them. Did somebody teach you that tactic or did you work it out on your own?
‘In my opinion, it is idiotic to believe that you will be infected anyway and only idiots may express this death wish…’
! Catching the Corona Virus strikes me as a singularly ineffectual way of seeking to end it all.
Fran,
Did you just say that any questions regarding judaism or any aspect of “jewishness” are, de-facto, “Jewish hatred” and that anyone ever inquiring into such questions, regardless of why, is automatically a “jew hater”, and that any amount of fair-mindedness they may bring to such a broad topic is nothing but a pretense?
Or am I reading way too much into your hastily spat venom?
<3
Kali.
Hahaha! Oh Franny, how I do seem to get under your skin. (You do realise that it’s only your ego identity that’s all buthurt about Ann Frank’s father being a fraud don’t you? – That’s to say, you’ve invested way to much of your energy in your ego-identifications (in this case your “jewishness”) not to take it personally when I tell you that “Ann Frank” is of no consequence. 😀
What’s an “official ‘H’ denier”, Fran? No, seriously. Would being one also make me an official neo nazi and a “jew hater”?
Truth is all that matters Fran. Look inside and you may encounter that which renders all of your hurt-feelings, confussion, defensiveness and fear naught but the fantasies of a fractured mind.
I would explain further but I doubt you’ve even managed to understand this much!
With (very real and genuine) love, 😀
Kali.
Just wait Colin, Corona will soon catch you by the balls.
I could criticize Gilad in various ways — but he’s not much of a hater
I am pretty sure Gilad hates Alan Dershowitz. I am sure I can think of a few others. And he does hate orthodox Judaism.
Amen to knocking off the fraud. But it’s always been fraud. There’s no scientific proof or published paper to prove otherwise.
‘…I am pretty sure Gilad hates Alan Dershowitz…’
Wouldn’t that be to his credit?
What do you want? Someone who admires Dershowitz and thinks he’s a model of moral behavior?
‘…Just wait Colin, Corona will soon catch you by the balls…’
But will I notice when it does?
It’s a good question. I’m old enough so I might experience some discernible symptoms.
‘I am pretty sure Gilad hates Alan Dershowitz…’
Thinking about this a little further…
Wouldn’t a true anti-semite be indifferent to Alan Dershowitz personally?
He’d just see Dershowitz as a typical Jew.
Do you see Alan Dershowitz as a typical Jew, Fran?
Or is he a loathsome, despicable abomination — an embarrassment to mankind in general — if not necessarily womankind?
Certainly I’d never want my son to grow up to be like ol’ Alan. How about you, Fran? Would you be proud of him if he were your son?
“In my opinion, it is idiotic to believe that you will be infected anyway and only idiots may express this death wish as no one can predicts what the infection can do to his body. But perhaps you possess some supernatural and prophetic powers so that you can predict what joys are awaiting us in the future.”
I don’t claim to possess supernatural powers, just some knowledge of ecology and epidemiology. But evidently you subscribe to Dominion theology, given your delusions about the ability of your government and media to control anything with forcible violent segregation and sterilization measures. These always have failed in every context, and they will fail here. This delusional Dominionism is the basis of the entire lockdown paradigm, to the extent this ever really was intended to control the virus, as opposed to controlling the people.
To say again, none of your stupid measures will prevent the virus from completing its natural cycle and attaining herd immunity. Whatever proportion of the population ends up having been infected, that’s what the proportion will be. Nothing your institutions can do can stop it, even if they really cared about stopping it, which they do not as is proven by their persistence in exactly the wrong measures.
As for the death wish, that’s you and your death cult, all morbidly reveling in the idea of death-by-Covid, all enacting a pantomime of death on a daily basis, right down to your cult rituals of masking and hex spacing, all toward the pretense that you and your fellow humans really are the undead.
As for the few who remain human like myself, we’re doing our best to continue living as human beings amid your global Jonestown cult.
Do you see Alan Dershowitz as a typical Jew, Fran?

Are you interrogating me? You sound like Perry Mason. Why don’t get a nice wine and work on your pluming? Get out and get some fresh air. Find some meaning in your life. Asking me stupid questions like that, you sound like a crazy person.

Shooting yourself in the head is roughly 90% effective in shuffling off this mortal coil. Although 10% or so who do this just end up crippling themselves.
From what I can gather, Covid is about 1% effective, perhaps more so if you are over 70. There are clearly more effective ways to step off the planet.

Cannot tell you exactly as everyone has a different spectrum of symptoms. Try to sniff at your underwear as abnormal e.g. phantosmia or a total loss of olfactory sensation is apparently the common early warning signal.
You may also read about Donald and Melanie, as the gutter press will undoubtedly inform you in detail what symptoms they may have.
I sincerely hope that you will stay clear of that dreadful virus so that your comments will be able to enliven this blog in the near and distant future.
How dare you to slander this honorable pillar of Jewish legal profession? Moreover, I have read somewhere that he is very nice to young girls. A true gentleman but only in an American sense of nonsense.
Superficially, you argument make sense but why to spend money on a revolver, or whatever you may need, before you die. Covid is free of charge. Blowing you brain is not so easy as there are no do-it-yourself courses and one really needs a proper training. One would not want to end up like Unity Mitford, the long forgotten girlfriend of Hitler cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Mitford
The almost certain way is to visit the Salisbury cathedral, and then search for spray bottles discarded in rubbish containers. Soon you will find one containing fresh Novichok and voilà you experience a miracle.
‘…Are you interrogating me? You sound like Perry Mason. Why don’t get a nice wine and work on your pluming? Get out and get some fresh air. Find some meaning in your life. Asking me stupid questions like that, you sound like a crazy person.’
Should we take it as read that you admire and respect Alan Dershowitz but are reluctant to admit it?

It’s pretty comic — or would be, if our reaction wasn’t producing so many catastrophic side-effects.
Here in my county in Oregon, I’d calculate about a thousand people must have died from all causes in the eight months since this psychosis started. Just statistically, that’s what it would work out to.
Of those deaths, zero (0) have been attributed to the Corona Virus. So you can have a heart attack, or die in an auto wreck, or eat yourself to death, or fall off a ladder. Perhaps someone even accidentally electrocuted themselves.
But going by the local experience, forget about the Corona Virus. It won’t work.
We might as ban going up and down stairs. You might fall.
Seriously. This is how nonsensical this is.
‘To say again, none of your stupid measures will prevent the virus from completing its natural cycle and attaining herd immunity…’
That is the worst of it. There’s little to no evidence that anything we’ve done has made any difference at all.
In fact, the evidence is that our measures haven’t altered the course of events. This has all been a complete waste. We might as well be sacrificing chickens.
“”We might as well be sacrificing chickens.””

I Object!
btw: Oct 16, 2020 will be Official October Surprise: When Donald Trump is still alive.
How many dumb clucks will realize that Coronavirus is not a killer, & they’ve been scammed, psychologically manipulated into Chicken Littles?
Herd immunity is the golden calf of the numerous fools that is intended to make our lives miserable. Yes we will all get eventually infected and everyone will be fine, three times halellujah. It will be fine in Africa, where there are not enough hospitals to take care of anyone.
If you can count till hundred, perhaps even thousand, then you can easily work out that you will need on average about 550000 new cases per day to infect 200 millions of Americans in one year, which would give you the magical 60% of the total population. How long do you think it will take before the health system breaks down? Work it out for yourself just to demonstrate that you can handle simple numbers.
There is no evidence for any long term immunity for those already infected, so what kind of nonsense you are peddling here?
Finally, I do not subscribe to any Dominion ideology. Have no idea what it is, possibly some kind of a new age crap. I do not believe any of the shit governments tell us just I do not believe anything you say as it sounds and smells like the vomit of numerous crazed politicians.
“When will the MSM figure out the lies of the CDC and the WHO?’”
The MSM is in on the charade.
Without the MSM’s explicit exaggerating, fear mongering, and attacks on any scientist, doctor, epidemiologist, or government official who apposes the official “narrative,” and if there were some real investigative reporting this thing never would have become what it has. The MSM is lying right along with the CDC and the WHO.
See? That’s all the proof you need that coconuts are all, in fact, Anti-Semites.
The foretelling of events by examining chicken entrails might have been no more or less successful than all the BS experienced by billions over the last eight or so months.
Ancient Rome: “Follow the auguries!”
Today: “Follow the science – as long as it means lockdowns!”

Today: “Follow the science – as long as it means lockdowns!”’
Agree. Indeed, one of the things that intrigues me about this disease is our inability to control or even predict its behavior. As far as the efficacy or logic of our response goes, we might as well be ancient Romans.
Happily, the disease is relatively innocuous, so it’s of little direct consequence (although our response has been catastrophic) but it is odd. It doesn’t follow the models.

In a lot of cases. But not all. I was just talking with a friend whose relatives caught it. The old dad came through fine. The sister has been nominally over it for 2 weeks but still has headaches, tightness in her chest, and not much of a sense of smell yet. Probably those will fade, but it’s not just a cold.
It is a vascular disease that is spread via the lungs. Most people don’t die of it. A lot of people didn’t die of the 1918 flu, but there was an obvious increase in cases of Parkinsons disease during the 1920’s.
The two rails of “just the flu, bro’” and “we’re all gonna die” are useless extremes. Reality is in the middle, and it’s not as simple as we’d like.
We may soon find out how much is the Covid infection of Trump a ”little direct consequence”. But I must admit that if you catch it Colin, it will be really of a ”little direct consequence” as you are just an insignificant minion.
Reality is that locking downing societies leads to their destruction.
…But I must admit that if you catch it Colin, it will be really of a ”little direct consequence” as you are just an insignificant minion.’
Foolish Karel. Now you have angered my MASTER. Before dawn, you will die.
…not that I will care much. Compared to the vile Fran, you are of little interest, and irrelevant to anything of real concern. I think you even rank below Corvinus.
Locking down has nowhere killed off the virus, it may or may not have slowed its spread. For driving up unemployment figures and driving many to despair and sometimes death, it has no parallel. Without going into outright Covid denial, something other than combating Covid has been a key motivator for governments – in fact it is so obvious that even stating this seems banal.
So you have a master. Great but why do you use capital letters? Whose sidekick are you?
‘…Without going into outright Covid denial, something other than combating Covid has been a key motivator for governments – in fact it is so obvious that even stating this seems banal.’
What the virus has done is to expose a couple of flaws in our system — and unfortunately the first feeds the second.
The first flaw is that the media feels compelled to sensationalize everything. It’s the nature of the beast: if there are two papers and one says, ‘the sky is falling’ while the other says ‘not much happening today,’ which one will you pick up?
So given a novel virus with somewhat ominous origins, it was inevitable the media would incite a communal freakout.
Now comes the government. If something goes wrong, their job is to fix it. Even if they don’t know what to do, even if they suspect there’s nothing they can do, they have to pretend. Jump up and down and wave their arms in the air. Run in circles and scream and shout. Do something.
If they don’t, they’ll be out on their ear. Here in Oregon — where the death toll has been less than that exacted by the flu in a normal year — the governess has imposed all the usual bumph. If she didn’t, any deaths would be laid at her doorstep. Since of course in a population of several million, someone is going to both test positive for the Corona Virus and die, from the governess’ point of view, this is a no-brainer. Do lots ‘n lots of stuff.
…and here we are. Collectively burning the house down to get rid of the fly in the living room.
‘So you have a master. Great but why do you use capital letters? Whose sidekick are you?’
You’re the one who implied I had a master. You tell me.
Seems logical at first blush.
But why did the same — lockdown, mandatory face diapers, “essential workers” category — ever happen before?
‘…But why did the same — lockdown, mandatory face diapers, “essential workers” category — ever happen before?’
‘A fair question, and one that has been much on me mind’ (Monty Python).
The most plausible hypothesis I can come up with is that this was indeed a leak from a Chinese biological warfare lab, and they told everyone, ‘look, this was a boo-boo. We THINK it’s pretty harmless at this stage, but…’
Freak out ‘n panic time. Of course, as it’s panning out, the virus was indeed innocuous (making it a killer would be the last stage in tailoring it), but this is the hypothesis that best fits the available data: the extraordinary reaction, the extreme failure of the virus to conform to expected models, it’s relative harmlessness.
It may even have been a shot across our bows. ‘Look what we can do. Do NOT fuck with us.’
Some of it has happened before, although in a more localised fashion. The difference now is partly media and its much greater reach than in the past, and of course the Internet.
“Spanish flu” was raging towards the end of WW1 but the warring powers did not like to mention the fact because morale was bad enough at a time when their armed forces were shelling, shooting and gassing each other, and civilians were suffering too, so they tended to censor mention of it. Only when the war ended did it get media coverage, and then there was a lot of mask wearing, local lockdowns etc.
Some other features of now have existed in wartime or after military coups. Curfews, incessant police checks, bans on people gathering in any numbers. The Greek spring lockdown this year reminded some elderly Greeks of the situation after the military takeover in 1967. Troops and police everywhere, not so many civilians, and if a few gathered at a street corner cops or soldiers would want to know why. Some call today’s lockdowns “medical martial law”, and it is not a bad description.
What we have not had before is this affecting billions, and for the most part without an overt and obvious war going on.

This is my feeling about them – they turn cities into temporary dead zones with only cops etc. moving around but the virus, if present, just continues festering at home among the mass incarcerated. The virus is a lot less affected by them than human society.
Now is the time that the parasites at the top of the financial institutions are making their move for complete control.
To do that, they need to destroy solidarity among the masses, and social distancing and the mandatory wearing of face diapers both separates people and makes them scared to even talk with each other. This is ideal for preventing revolt by the part of the people being dispossessed and caged.
Wall St. probably also has an interesting Covid-19 story to tell.
Their Pump & Dump cycle is about to enter the Dump phase – and the supposedly Chinese Covid-19 takes the blame while they stand back and pick up the pieces (at knock down prices).
“British Jews are overrepresented by a factor of eight in their country’s death toll from COVID-19.”
Possibly because covid mostly kills the very old and Orthodox Jews are better cared for so they live to be old.
There are a lot at Stamford Hill in North London. They seem to vote Conservative, enough to mean that the local ward can be won by the Tories, in the mostly Labour borough of Hackney. It would be interesting to know what the effect of Covid has been on them as the population density is rather high there.
If I may be permitted to respond on Fran’s behalf. After having been duly injected with a truth serum, she’d say: “Winning is all that matters, Kali. ‘Truth’ is for stupid Hellenizers, of which Gilad is a prime example. ‘Winning’ is for God’s Chosen, of which I’m the prime example.”
My gut feeling is that orthodox Jews are deficient in vitamin D. Do they ever sun bathe or supplement with vitamin D? That could be a big factor with their health issues.
How did you know Colin was into pluming, Fran? Did you happen to see him strutting like a peacock outside your place of work?
Ouch!
Dissenting scientists issue Covid-19 herd immunity declaration:

Here’s the full transcript of The Great Barrington Declaration:
As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.
Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.
Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.
Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.
As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.
The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.
Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent PCR testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals.
Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.

Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
‘…‘Winning’ is for God’s Chosen, of which I’m the prime example.”…’
Well, maybe not so prime. You can pick almost any criteria I can think of — ol’ Fran’s pretty far back in the pack.
Well, maybe not so prime. You can pick almost any criteria I can think of — ol’ Fran’s pretty far back in the pack.
You see Geo, Colin constantly reminds me of how superior he is to me. Have you noticed how far back in the pack I am? Imagine a J supremacist below below the top dog. Colin condescends to talk to me. Maybe I am secretly part goy and not a thorough bred.
As opposed to your other comment.
…‘Winning’ is for God’s Chosen, of which I’m the prime example.”…’
WTF are you talking about? We have known each other for a while, winning was never in the mix. I do not talk in terms of wining and loosing, and do not think like that. You continue to amaze me with your wild accusations and insanity.
You don’t think like that, huh?
‘You see Geo, Colin constantly reminds me of how superior he is to me.’
Technically, Fran, you keep reminding me of it — but have it your way.
‘…I do not talk in terms of wining and loosing…’
That’s definitely a Franism. Having a drink and then releasing the hounds?
Francine may have unexpected depths. You keep posting, girl.
OY VEY, That is your proof. Oh lord help us.
‘OY VEY, That is your proof. Oh lord help us.’
Seems pretty solid to me, Frances.
‘their’ refers to societies, not the virus.
