  1. Too moderate to moderate . Too balanced to balance Too considerate to consider - in short , a little troublemaker !
  2. Yeah ... that was the gist of my ' joke' .

  4. Pandemic Panic - Transcending the Fear

    Oh yes , of course its too late for you guys ! I wasnt suggesting you implement it now , sorry, I thought people would understand that . What I mean is , it has to be implemented right at the beginning . here it was done right at the beginning , to a a seemingly crazy level, over the top reaction . And the same each time it pops its head up . Once it gets to a certain level , of course, this approach can't work. By the way , most of our lockdowns have ended now , we go for days at a time with no new infections broken up by the occasional batch of a few arising . New jobs have appeared , one friend, unemployed for years ( so well before all of this ) now has 3 jobs , one got so busy he had to drop 2 . Forget about getting a Tradie for anything , they are so booked ahead . I am nearing the end of my 3 month wait to get my bath house tiled . I only got the plumbing done because the plumber is the son of my closest friend , and I have known him since he was a baby . Local business has gone crazy ( the closed the border to Queensland as Xmas holidays started and the tourism backed up due to overflow down the coast , people are everywhere, shopping. cafes, accommodation, supermarkets, spending up . So although we have had severe lock downs that have effected things in some ways , in other ways its improved things . There was a time of 'rougher transition' at first .
  5. yeah ...... its started pulling my face down now Get back up there ! ! UP ! UP!
  6. Nice ! Hey ! I know ! ...... Why dont you become a moderator ?

    A friend told me she thought the impeachment process should involve pelting Trump with rotten peaches .

    Okay . No matter how many times I read this , it doesnt make sense according to the statistics . Unless your 'today; numbers are including current CV travel restrictions 'on this day ' . I edited my original post to reflect this observation . I am supposing that in the re neolithic there where no 'countries' either . Maybe thats why it appears there was no international travel back then ? Hmmm ... I did read it again . BUT it still appears that you are talking about what made lock downs possible Where I was talking about what makes them necessary .

    I was going to like your post, but first I had to put it through the committee . Unfortunately, some are still on holidays so I could not get a quorum . I was going to call an EGM to deal with it but, recklessly, I went against all current legislation and bureaucracy and just clicked the like button myself .
  11. Yep . Also 'chemical' . Oxygen' s 'great love ' for hydrogen ( I think 'threesomes count ) =

    What I find hard to take seriously is the idea that 'the technology of Atlantis ' consisted of various cropped pictures of Lois .

    The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) estimates that internationally there were just 25 million tourist arrivals in 1950. 68 years later this number has increased to 1.4 billion international arrivals per year. This is a 56-fold increase. https://ourworldindata.org/tourism . i wasnt commenting on what made it possible but what made it necessary.

    Ah well, I guess that is another point in favour for the Atlantis believers in our ongoing debate on the issue

    Another reason why lockdowns where not used before ( that is " the idea of locking down an entire state or country " ) is people did not mix internationally ' travel around the world' and internally in a country like they do now , we didnt have a global network like we do now . Indeed , Covid is a sign of the times and would never spread like it has without this international ' world travel 'mixing dynamic and everyone flying training and boating everywhere. else .

    Lockdown is new term borrowed from (mostly ) the prison system (or other secure facilities like computer complexes It used to be called quarantine " The concept of quarantine has been known since biblical times and is known to have been practised through history in various places. Notable quarantines in modern history include that of the village of Eyam in 1665 during the bubonic plague outbreak in England; East Samoa during the 1918 flu pandemic; the Diphtheria outbreak during the 1925 serum run to Nome, the 1972 Yugoslav smallpox outbreak and extensive quarantines applied throughout the world during the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020. 1793 Philadelphia smallpox - road blocks, patrols, inspections and quarantines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarantine#History Quarantine can include the following: Staying strictly at home unless there is a medical emergency Strictly keeping away from public spaces and public transport Monitoring daily for Covid-19 symptoms such as shortness of breath, fever and cough Washing hands with soap and water regularly Regularly cleaning surfaces at home Getting all necessities delivered at home and not stepping out Staying alone and totally separate from others if possible Quarantine measures can be enforced by the government, so people don’t have a choice in the matter as with social distancing. If people do not comply then 'lockdown ' can be implemented A lockdown can include the following: Shutting down railways, flights and public transport Shutting down restaurants and movie theatres Monitoring the movement of people to track Coronavirus spread There is a slight difference ; quarantine - stay at home and keep away from public transport . Lockdown - stop public transport . Stay at home ... means , dont go to a restaurant . People keep going to restaurants anyway despite the risk , so close them down ... they are not supposed to be operating anyway . Hardly much difference except for the monitoring and tracking , and that is a good thing isnt it ? . Maybe we have Xi Jinping policy to thank for that . If people still do not comply then a curfew can be implemented A curfew can include the following: Strict measures from the government to keep people indoors Fines and arrests when the rules are violated I suppose all this will be argued against and terms 'corrected ' ... whatever ( while all the bodies pile up - elsewhere ) This originally started as a response to ; " i can't help but wonder how Wuhan achieved equilibrium with the virus without a vaccination, " so, if I am wrong, what is the answer to this ?
