Looking at the potency of covid-19 restrictions
Big difference in the number of deaths...
Other countries.
Belarus has laughed at the WHO recommendations and life continued as normal.
To note late March those "evil racists" have imposed a 14 day quarantine on almost anyone that entered the country coming from a country affected by the pandemic.
Let's compare them to Poland & Germany: Poland has closed its borders, closed schools, and imposed strong restrictions, it's not a total curfew as bad as France but it's something that is enough to remind us of a certain period of history... Let's say governments are thanking those that report their neighbours breaking rules telling them they did the reich thing. Germany has restrictions but not as much as Poland, I think they have a few states on stay at home & school lockdowns, but it's less than Poland and lasted less long.
In any case from what I know it's Poland <= Germany << Belarus.
People are living at similar latitudes, the average german lives a few ° below the average pole that lives a few ° below the average belarus.
Germany might have tested more people also.
Deaths are ~50°N
UK is a bit higher, Ukraine is a bit lower, not saying the latitude is what matters might be, Ukraine way east from the UK.
UK: Total curfew.
Ukraine: Total curfew.
(You can still go out to buy food, and some people can go to work)
London 51°N, Manchester 53°N
Stockholm 59°N
Kiev 50°N - It may look much below the UK/London on map that's because maps are flat earth is not.
Bulgaria, some restrictions, prevention.
Serbia, full NAZI total lockdown, 24/6 for residents over 65 (they'll dehydrate and starve they cough)
Very close countries.
Same latitudes, small bordering countries with the same climate. Same populations. Same number of cases when the lockdown started! Really great example.
44-45°N
By the way, I wonder who are those far righters in Serbia acting like total Führers.
So what a surprise, the progressives, as the media calls them "far right" wink wink, are absolute NAZIs.
Didn't see that coming...
I think the other 2 parties are the democrats and the nationalists.
The nazis have restricted immigrants so I guess that's why they are called far right now. Pretty simplistic definition by journalists which "brains functions at a lower than average level" according to a study. Journos love studies, but they never mention that one, weird, I wonder why. The study also says they are heavy drinkers, have huge bias, and are awful at managing emotions. Wow what a surprise once again.
French revolution is 230 years old anyway so can we stop it with the "left right" political system??????
Turkey: Almost no lockdown for the 20-65 yo. Erdoğan stood his ground and said no to Soros & the Rothschilds and did not paralyse the country entirely, putting pressure on their large short positions. Alarmists got arrested. The president party is the Justice and Development Party, a moderate right wing party, he has been in power for 17 years first as PM then as president. Let's see if he gets demonized and called "far right".
Greece: Curfew with a 150 euros fine if broken (isn't that what they earn in 5 years?).
==> Greece doesn't have the money to test their population right?
Can't tell how efficient it is in Greece, they might simply be too poor to know what their own numbers are.
So... The lockdowns might make a small difference in the number of cases.
They seem to make absolutely no difference at all in the flattening of the curve, which happens at the exact same time everywhere.
The benefits are unclear but I think yes lockdowns saved a few dozen obese or smoking grandpas.
Now the negative consequences, in particular on the poor wooohaaaaaaaaaa. It's going to be awful.
Nothing unclear here. Hey but we saved a few dozen grandpas. All good.
In time scientists will publish results of studies, and the world will learn more, we'll see everything in more details and with proof.
No one can predict the future. Nothing is certain. Only 3 things are sure in life:
- Death
- Taxes
- I am always right
Whatever comes out of this, I will get proven right as usual.
