ковидобесие, паника и локдаун
Хорошая статья про смертность от коронавируса в UK. https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/05/19/how-covid-panic-caused-the-carnage-in-care-homes/ оказывается, в ожидании массового падежа населения правительство приказало перевести всех престарелых пациентов из больниц обратно в дома престарелых; пациенты перезаразили здоровых и все померли. Госпитали, откуда их вывезли, так и остались пустыми, потому что предсказания британских ученых оказались полнейшей туфтой и липой. Все как всегда, основной причиной жертв ковида является ковидобесие, паника и локдаун.
Around the peak of hospital cases on 10 April, only 51 per cent of the NHS's acute beds were occupied by a Covid patient. Around the same time, 41 per cent of acute beds were not occupied at all - more than four times the normal number. The emergency Nightingale hospitals have also been largely empty. The Nightingale in London's Excel Centre, which had space for 4,000 beds, only treated 51 patients in its first three weeks of operation. It was closed at the beginning of May.
As Professor Carl Henegan, director of Oxford University's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, has argued, the fact that Covid cases and deaths peaked in early April suggests that the number of people getting infected peaked before the lockdown was introduced on 23 March.
In other words, putting the public under house arrest and wrecking the economy - which has also contributed to thousands of unnecessary deaths - was never necessary to 'Protect the NHS' in any case. But by the time the lockdown was introduced, the government was convinced that the NHS faced a tsunami of Covid cases. The infamous Imperial College model predicted 500,000 deaths from an unmitigated epidemic. Fear and panic drove the decision-making. And those decisions cost lives.
Shockingly, the UK government was not alone in pushing the crisis into care homes. In New York, the centre of the world's worst outbreak, it is a similar story. Care homes were not only neglected for PPE and testing, but were also ordered to take in Covid patients. Homes could be fined $10,000 or lose their operating licence if they refused to comply with the rules. In Lombardy, the hardest-hit region of Italy, care homes were paid extra to take in Covid patients from hospitals.
The carnage in care homes ought to be the biggest scandal of the Covid crisis.

Советник правительства Нил Фергюсон, который настаивал на локдауне, обещал, что в Англии будет 500,000 погибших от ковида. Полмиллиона трупов, положим, в Англии не было, но 27 тысяч было; из них как минимум половина на его совести.
Что занятно, Нил Фергюсон обещал то же самое и для свиного гриппа, и тоже настаивал на локдауне. In 2009, Ferguson and his Imperial team predicted that swine flu had a case fatality rate 0.3 per cent to 1.5 per cent. His most likely estimate was that the mortality rate was 0.4 per cent. A government estimate, based on Ferguson's advice, said a 'reasonable worst-case scenario' was that the disease would lead to 65,000 UK deaths.
In the end swine flu killed 457 people in the UK and had a death rate of just 0.026 per cent in those infected.

Ну и до кучи, там же смешное интервью с Йорамом Лассом, бывшим израильским министром здравоохранения, а ныне профессором в tau.ac.il.
https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/05/22/nothing-can-justify-this-destruction-of-peoples-lives/
Утверждает, что единственная разница между короной и кучей других эпидемий - в том, что параллельно с эпидемией ковида началась эпидемия ковидобесия и истерической паники в социальных сетях. В результате население поехало крышей и потребовало от государства максимально жестких полицейских мер в защиту от ковида, приведших в итоге к многократно большим жертвам, чем сам ковид.
spiked: You have described the global response to coronavirus as hysteria. Can you explain that?
Yoram Lass: It is the first epidemic in history which is accompanied by another epidemic - the virus of the social networks. These new media have brainwashed entire populations. What you get is fear and anxiety, and an inability to look at real data. And therefore you have all the ingredients for monstrous hysteria.
It is what is known in science as positive feedback or a snowball effect. The government is afraid of its constituents. Therefore, it implements draconian measures. The constituents look at the draconian measures and become even more hysterical. They feed each other and the snowball becomes larger and larger until you reach irrational territory. This is nothing more than a flu epidemic if you care to look at the numbers and the data, but people who are in a state of anxiety are blind. If I were making the decisions, I would try to give people the real numbers. And I would never destroy my country.
spiked: What do the numbers tell us, in your view?
Lass: Mortality due to coronavirus is a fake number. Most people are not dying from coronavirus. Those recording deaths simply change the label. If patients died from leukaemia, from metastatic cancer, from cardiovascular disease or from dementia, they put coronavirus. Also, the number of infected people is fake, because it depends on the number of tests. The more tests you do the more infected people you get.
The only real number is the total number of deaths - all causes of death, not just coronavirus. If you look at those numbers, you will see that every winter we get what is called an excess death rate. That is, during the winter more people die compared to the average, due to regular, seasonal flu epidemics, which nobody cares about. If you look at the coronavirus wave on a graph, you will see that it looks like a spike. Coronavirus comes very fast, but it also goes away very fast. The influenza wave is shallow as it takes three months to pass, but coronavirus takes one month. If you count the number of people who die in terms of excess mortality - which is the area under the curve - you will see that during the coronavirus season, we have had an excess mortality which is about 15 per cent larger than the epidemic of regular flu in 2017.
Compared to that rise, the draconian measures are of biblical proportions. Hundreds of millions of people are suffering. In developing countries many will die from starvation. In developed countries many will die from unemployment. Unemployment is mortality. More people will die from the measures than from the virus. And the people who die from the measures are the breadwinners. They are younger. Among the people who die from coronavirus, the median age is often higher than the life expectancy of the population. What has been done is not proportionate. But people are afraid. People are brainwashed. They do not listen to the data. And that includes governments.
Lass: Any reasonable expert - that is, anyone but Professor Ferguson from Imperial College who would have locked down everybody when we had swine flu - will tell you that lockdown cannot change the final number of infected people. It can only change the rate of infection. And people argue that by changing the rate of infection and 'flattening the curve', we prevented the collapse of hospitals. I have shown you the costs of lockdown, but this was the argument in favour of it. But look at Sweden. No lockdown and no collapse of hospitals. The argument for the lockdown collapses.

Ну и вот, целое сообщество, полное ковидоскептицизма https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19skeptics/ с разоблачением фейков от ковидобесия, которыми полны мейнстримные масс-медиа, типа такого вот
https://archive.org/details/fake-sky-news-report-on-mexico-city-crematoriums-and-death-counts-exposed-filmyourhospital The media says "crematoria ovens never stop burning" in Mexico City. Independent journalist visits crematoria and hospitalsin Mexico to try and verify the claims of mainstream media that Mexico COVID cases are overwhelming hospitals and crematoria.
To the contrary, many hospitals and crematoria are closed, and those that are open are mainly empty, just as in the USA.
Про Бразилию пишут то же самое, типа трупы на улицах некому уносить, между тем даже в Рио госпитали по большей части пустуют.
Вообще эта ситуация повторяется по всему миру, по случаю ковида и локдауна, количество пациентов падает, госпитали простаивают и разоряются, врачей и медсестер увольняют и отправляют в отпуск.
