The BFD | COVID Confusion

Viv Forbes has studied financial analysis, business economics and politics, and he is one of the oldies more vulnerable to the Wuhan virus.

We are drowning in a sea of suspect statistics, many being used selectively by power-hungry politicians. Especially COVID statistics.

Suppose an obese alcoholic 80-year-old with hips replaced, diabetes, heart bypass, inflammation and high blood pressure gets the flu, then pneumonia tests positive to COVID and dies. What is recorded as the cause of death?

It depends on who wants the figures and why.

Too often, politics and economics determine the outcome.

Does the hospital or physician get paid more for COVID patients? If they are then they will find more.

Are politicians pushing their Orwellian tracking devices or industrialists pushing universal compulsory vaccinations? Do politicians who control the health industry want a declining trend to prove their competence or a rising trend to get more funds or to embarrass other politicians?

At least some medico’s in Queensland have been instructed to put the primary cause of death as COVID-19 and then list contributory causes (diabetes, heart disease etc) as second, third etc.) And in places in the US, hospitals get a bonus payment for each COVID diagnosis and a bigger one for patients on ventilators. Guess where the trends are rising?

Should we ignore the increase in family violence, suicides and the surge in consumption of alcohol and junk food in locked-down homes? And what about the excess deaths caused when hospitals were emptied and non-essential surgery cancelled to prepare for a COVID surge that never came. That surge was predicted by – – – – computer models.

Now we find that some imported COVID test kits are suspect, making the statistics even more suspect.

Like heatwaves and cold snaps, COVID-19 tends kill those about to die and will almost certainly be followed by a reduced mortality rate. Politicians will claim the credit for this.

This daily flood of statistics and COVID-news is designed to keep us alarmed and obedient as politicians and government media destroy our freedoms, our privacy, our industries, our jobs, our independence and our currency. The depression which will follow the lockdown may kill more people than all the flu viruses would have done.
