The Corona Virus

The worrying bit is - what is it they’re hiding ?

First guess is control!
In the earliest moments, long before organised religions came into firm, cunning intellectuals scoured the landscape for how they could get power and status. They quickly found that they could rule over the group and secure food and shelter by inventing tall tales about the supernatural, scaring and threatening their clan members. Terror struck in the hearts of those nature worshippers due to the menacing tales of those intellectuals. This carried on for ages, all through that prehistoric era and into the inception of the earliest forms of religion.

Behind all this, the operative factor is the fear psychology: That God is very dangerous and if you will not sacrifice to feed those gods and goddesses, then they will take revenge etc etc. Each and every religion has this type of fear psychosis in their dogmatic beliefs. Preachers of religion always inject this negative idea in the minds of their followers that, "If you do not follow these religious pursuits and sacrificial rituals, then the God(s) will be very unhappy and they will destroy everything." Or, by seeing the spread of an epidemic they started thinking that God is furious, and He is going to destroy us, we should offer Him something.

Here the whole point is that the religions control their followers with fear - fear of God. But that fear will be impotent and fail to produce the desired effect if it is not associated with harsh punishment. Without the threat of punishment, the common people will not be afraid. A strong dose of fear is needed in order to impose those illogical religious doctrines. In this way, people became God-fearing.

Don’t believe BTs Facebook science read my post 1115 above yours

You should be asking why do so many want to believe that the entire world leadership is conspiring on this?

In Australia only 36 new cases caused Adelaide to be locked down.
On the other hand Trumps laissez faire attitude on lockdown and the virus has given the country mayhem and a raging epidemic going out of control.

Like is said before Oc I / we know something is there but it really doesn’t add up , the last so called spike was caused by the government sending schools and universities back , kids carrying the virus and bringing it home to spread like wildfire. ( I appreciate the education dilemma ).

And yet even now after the results supposedly went through the roof we continue fuelling the virus the same way.

Logic tells us there are more cases because we’re testing people ten fold , and yet even this week at my wife’s work a lady who d been tested received results without actually submitting the test.

The government / is hiding something and to me we look like we’re being forced to be a communist state, where we have no say no thoughts outside what we’re told.

The old adage says if you tell people the same thing enough times they start to believe as it becomes the norm, I’m not a conspiracy theory man but I do think that something doesn’t sit right with this situation and the longer it goes on the more I think people will just believe what they’re told.

Not sure whether to call that tripe or bilge OC, probably qualifies as both.

Can't make out the figures OC, they're too small. If you want to check these figures out, here's the link.

US deaths, 4 weeks to October 31st....226,355

Like in the UK, nothing unusual, nothing exceptional, just another autumn.
