Hi there. Here it is another Monday and this time I didn't miss one. It would have been easy as right now, two of my grandsons ages 2 and 3 are here visiting and they can keep us both very busy. Often too busy to add another post, but I found a couple of minutes to quickly put down a few words.
Today I mostly want to talk about Covid-19. Here in Canada there are a few who are saying that we are into our second wave. There are provinces where the number of cases might indicate that a second wave is upon us, but we also need to look at the number of deaths as well. The death rate now is so low that using that data as the only metric, we are definitely not in a second wave.
Governments however like to keep the people scared and therefore pliable. Saying we are in a second wave makes it sound much worse than what it really is and that will allow further restrictions on the people who voted them into power.
My big question is simple, "What is the end game?" The only thing I can gather from what is happening is a simple continuation of what all elected governments are there for. They are only elected for a short period of time and their number one job is to make sure they get re-elected. They can use the corona virus to make themselves look good and the only way to do that is to scare the people who vote for them and then make it look as if they are doing the best they can to keep us all safe.
In reality what they are doing is putting restrictions on the very people they are there to help in a situation where they are very questionable. If no one is dying, (almost no one), is there really a pandemic.
Enough rant for now and talk again soon.
