Got a haircut last nite. The stylist thought you got swine flu by eating pork. There are some remarkable dimbulbs out there.
Ironically, this Dr. Fukuda is now a big joke, in all places, his native JAPAN.
The world should focus on mitigation. We recommend not closing borders or restricting travel.
Mitigate: To lower, to reduce the amount of... To make less in intensity.
The Dr is just more political double speak.
Don't hurt the tourist trade, but don't spread the virus.
It appears that empty suits are not only limited to the UN, Washington DC, but the WHO as well.
The elite say we must have open borders at any cost.
I might be in the minority here, but he is probably largely correct.
A large segment of the worlds populations is to mobile, and that mobility to fast, to realistically contain outbreaks of flu epidemics et-al by closing borders.
Not to say it should not be done at all, but its somewhat like the analogy of closing the barn doors after the horses got out.
The barn door should have been shut years ago. The horse might be out, but how about we close the door before the coyotes get in and kill the rest of our livestock.
Okay, I am just going to toss out something here to think about..........
The common cold virus is already “out”. It’s in all countries, right. So using the same strategy as allowing open borders, let’s see how that would work out in a few scenarios. Let’s say that here in the USA there were the usual number of people showing symptoms of the common cold. Most people are managing to not get it because they try to stay away from people infected and normally can manage to do so. Now let’s say that a hugely unproportionate number of Mexicans had a cold and we let them all come pouring into town to celebrate Cinco de mayo with their relatives already here. They all bring their cold germs and now what is the average American’s chance of catching the illness. Well it seems to me the chances just increased HUGELY!
So, yes, the horse is already out of the barn, but do we have to let a million more horses out to join him and raise our chances of being infected?
Just asking....
Yes, it would be a hard decision, with dire political consequences, but the right thing now is to nuke all cities/towns/villages/states/countries where this vile pestilence has emerged. It’s for the good of the many, after all.
