    I live in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The Province as well as a few others is under Lockdown, i.e cannot leave or enter the Provinces, all public transport , flights and Chinese New Year public gatherings etc. have been suspended. The advice from the Chinese Government is to "Stay indoors, close all windows, do not use A/C, wear a face mask at all times until further notice".
    The reasons that I'm writing this are because I'm bored, being secluded in my room for days and as a warning, if needed, do not come to China for a holiday, work etc. until the virus has been contained, eradicated or a vaccine is developed.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    We have lived with and under the most draconian measures since the Second World War map. I wish the Chinese could have kept this virus under control and stopped in its tracks in Wuhan.

    Anyway, we are all happy you have survived your health ordeals and tribulations and are still alive to tell the tale. Personally, I am mystified has to why you want to return to China.

    I want to return because after 11 years I am homesick.

    I absolutely do not want to fall out with you my mate, but it was you who first alerted to the breakout in Wuhan.

    Exactly Map, not one country, scientist or politician has got control of this virus, and certainly not with lockdowns or masks either, vaccines are seeming to offer some temporary protection against serious illness and death, and that's about it. The sooner our governments and their advisors stop grandstanding about restrictions, masks and futile vaccine passports, and accept the reality of the situation, the sooner we might get back to normal, if they actually want us to get back to normal, I'm not convinced some of them do.

    My dear friend Norder, posted to us a video of Anandamurti. (P.R. Sarkar) But here is Anandamurti on :

    #Party_Politics #Politicians (26 January 1958).

    "Party politics is one of the factors which stands, or tries to stand, in the way of human unity. In fact party politics is even more dangerous than disease-causing germs. In party politics all the refined attributes of the human mind, such as simplicity and the spirit of service, slowly but surely get totally destroyed. Party affiliation commands more respect than individual ability; service to self, not service to people, is the main motto; ministerial office, rather than human welfare, is considered superior; and mass deception, political somersaults, etc., are most common phenomena.

    Instead of rectifying themselves, politicians want to accomplish everything through their grandiloquence. By identifying the weaknesses in others and by resorting to bombastic language, they incite one section of people against another so that they can usurp the seat of power and cling to it. Human beings will have to remain vigilant against persons of this type. Politicians want to poke their noses into every aspect of life: social, religious, educational, literary, etc. Under the hypnotic spell of power, politicians remain oblivious of the fact that experience and wisdom in various spheres of life cannot be acquired by merely mouthing high-sounding slogans from public platforms.

    Honest and benevolent individuals should carefully steer clear of party politics. The question may arise, In the absence of party politics, will honest individuals succeed on their own in forming governments or in serving the state? Is there any necessity for organized endeavour? In answer to this question I will say that those who are honest, who really want to promote human welfare, and who believe in a world government and the ideals of Ánanda Parivára [a blissful, universal family], must possess the spirit of mutual cooperation. They may form themselves into boards exclusively for the purpose of rendering social service collectively (and not for fomenting politics), but it will not be proper for such boards to contest elections.

    People should cast their votes for deserving human beings – not for the lamppost holding the party ticket.

    To further the interests of the party, party politics may publicly oppose something which is often secretly encouraged. Communalism, provincialism, casteism, etc. – none of these are considered bad for the sake of party interests. The only identity of human beings is that they are humans – living beings. Party politics strives to keep people oblivious of this fact – it tries to pulverize the psychic wealth of human beings under the steamroller of party interests."

    Problems of the DAY by Shri P. R. Sarkar

    The human race has only one culture. I am not prepared to accept that there are numerous cultures. But then, this much can be said: the dances, songs, pronunciations and festive celebrations of various groups of the human race have their local peculiarities. These local peculiarities, or differences in manners and customs, cannot be considered separate cultures.
    Such differences in the local manners and customs of human beings cannot be removed by the force of law or by dictatorial rule. If attempts are made to destroy local manners and customs, languages, and other social conventions in the name of national unity, human unity, or national sentiment, in all likelihood that will result in the escalation of mutual distrust and violence, which will lead collective life down the path of destruction.
    I am in favour of social synthesis. In my opinion, the more intimately people associate with one another and the more closely one corner of the earth comes to another corner, the more local specialities in customs and manners will create newer forms as a result of frequent intermixing. The flowers of different gardens will be gathered together and transformed into a bouquet. The beauty of the bouquet will be no less than the beauty of the individual flowers, rather it will be more beautiful. The melody of Dhrupada will be transformed into Kheyal, while classical music will be changed into kiirtana, baʼul, bha’t’iya’lii, ja’rii, darbeshi, etc. If different countries or if people of so-called different communities show enthusiasm for increasing social interaction and matrimonial relations, within a very short time social synthesis can be achieved. To some extent we notice the positive effects of such synthesis in cosmopolitan cities.

    Don't expect this bit of news to surface on the BBC News anytime soon, or on SkyNews, C4 or ITV, nor in the Grauniad or any of our Lockdown obsessed MSM.

    "Freedom Prevails: Florida registers nation’s lowest COVID case numbers. Florida is now outperforming every state in the contiguous United States in terms of new COVID-19 cases per capita. And they did it all without a Vax Pass system, widespread business closures, mask mandates, and/or draconian lockdowns."

    This one will get well and truly buried and no mistake.

    One of our near neighbour's dad is in hospital in Salford and he can have one daily designated visitor who must abide by COVID-19 restrictions.
    My father-in-law is in hospital in Bolton and he cannot have any visits whatsoever because of COVID-19 restrictions.
    Both are mainline NHS hospitals who should operate under national guidelines I would imagine.
    My wife is asking why the difference - but is not getting an answer.
