What on earth? — 51 Comments

  1. I heard this was rescinded. It’s still ridiculous that anyone would even entertain this notion at this stage of a pandemic. Going outside isn’t the problem, crowding together in large numbers in closed spaces is. Everyone should understand that by now. How anyone still seriously believes this is all about public health and not government control is living under a rock.

  3. Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh are going to play a football game with all players wearing masks this weekend because of PA governors decree that you have to wear a mask everywhere. There have been exactly zero documented cases worldwide of COVID transferring during sporting contests.

    SCIENCE!!!

  4. “Going outside isn’t the problem, crowding together in large numbers in closed spaces is. Everyone should understand that by now.” shadow

    I don’t understand it this way. I haven’t changed my opinion of how this should be approached since the beginning. The vulnerable and afraid should shelter. Everyone else should live their lives, with hopefully more people observing good hygiene and health protocols. I haven’t been to Mass since October 24th because I refuse to go through all the required steps in observance of “health safety” as I don’t agree with the measures; masks, hand sanitizer and 6 feet apart OUTSIDE instead of in that lovely, temperature-controlled building on the property.

    Early on my husband had it and he sat at the table here in our office with 2 people within 1 or so foot of each other in a closed space with poor ventilation (no outside fresh air). He was sick in bed that evening within a couple hours of their meeting. Both men quarantined but never got it. No one got it from me either. Outside my window here are the homeless whose numbers have grown exponentially under the excellent governance of Newsom and Garcetti. I wondered from the beginning why I wasn’t seeing a bunch of dead or at least sick people every time I’ve gotten in my car since the beginning of April. No, not one, ever. We’ve been played and will continue to be played because of fear.

  5. As one Philosopher–well, me—said: “What is the point of having power if you can’t abuse it?”.
    There is a reason that I would never buy a house in an area with a homeowner’s association. I consider them laboratories where power hungry people test their limits; or maybe the minors for the big power leagues is a better description. COVID unleashed a lot of little Despots.

  6. My wife had Covid in June. She has COPD but never went to ICU or needed a respirator. She has taken HCQ for years for her rheumatoid arthritis and she and her doctors attributed her mild case to this. I had started taking it, as well, in April, I think, and never contracted it from her. She is 75 and I will be 83 in the spring. I was in to see my primary internist this week and mentioned it. He proceeded to quote journals about how HCQ is useless. I don’t have to guess his political party.

  7. Sharon W,

    The homeless have been a question of mine also. Here in WA they made a big deal of this in the beginning because of course we have a booming homeless population. They even bought a motel to house the sick homeless people. Don’t hear much about that anymore and if we have learned nothing through this travesty it’s that if the media and gov’t officials don’t talk about something then it doesn’t fir their narrative.

  9. It’s been terrible to watch Commonwealth countries shed their freedoms in abject fear. At least in the US there are a number of places where people just aren’t taking it any more.

  10. Looking at Australia’s figures, it makes no sense at all.

    It makes no sense because you’d be hard put to find a case of someone infected in open air, especially a single individual walking their dog. This tells you that public health has degenerated into an excuse to harass people and that the public health director in South Australia is just such a person.

  11. I heard about this a few days ago. I’m sure the dictator governors will be all over this next week. Shut down Thanksgiving, shoot your dog (also was quoted that the dogs transmit the cooties to people), wear a mask in your own home..etc etc. They will literally stop at nothing, and here in Connecticut no one seems to mind at all; it’s all “yess massah!” Same with the FB liberals I’m in contact. One was even bragging about how his Thanksgiving will be just him and his wife because they want to do the right thing which leaves out his wife’s 90 year old mother who will be alone.

  12. A lot of people are pointlessly kvetching about trivia, but this business about walking your dog is so unreasonable you’re bound to get mass non-compliance. The PR office at the police department tweets this out. That doesn’t mean street-level officers are going to do jack-squat.

  13. My Boomer-age parents live in a state in which, in advance of the holidays, the governor did not lock down as much as people wanted … and people complained.

    My parents have informed me that they are sitting home alone on Thanksgiving, refusing even to let nearby relatives come over to share dinner.

    One of the online places I frequent is a reddit site in which people mull over COVID-19-related medical preprints. This one, which just got posted yesterday, is classic:

    Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are associated with protection against reinfection

    One of the few comments: “Human immune system functions as previously understood, undercutting months of collective lunacy.” – This Study

    This week has also seen the Danish mask study and umpteen reports of blindingly successful vaccine Phase III trials, all of which should have been unsurprising to anyone. It’s another species-jumping coronavirus, not a magical virus from space unknown to all human science, FFS. But sanity is not returning.

    I just want to find a new planet. I now realize how stupid most of humanity is. Even after this passes, they’ll just look for more things to have paranoid hysterics about.

  14. My parents have informed me that they are sitting home alone on Thanksgiving, refusing even to let nearby relatives come over to share dinner.

    I take it your parents are past 60. They are right to be careful. Heavy people past 50 are also right to be careful.

  15. The other unbelievable turn of events here in the San Fernando Valley is that while we are not allowed to eat inside the lovely restaurants that prior to COVID-19 met all the standards of health and safety ensuring enjoyment of dining, tents along the parkway of the streets have popped up all over, with coolers of ingredients sitting on the ground in the sun. There must be a market for it. The illegal aliens the state/city sanctioned who are accustomed to this kind of offering? And there is no sign that the “authorities” have any interest in closing them down. It is perpetuating at an alarming rate. No money in going after these unlicensed small business owners. You cannot work where I do, witnessing the mayhem and believe for one moment that our civil officeholders care one whit about societal health, individual or corporate.

  16. Anger and mockery can play a role. The state of PA has backed down from making VA Tech and Pitt wear masks while playing football.

  17. The policy is never going to be “just stay home if you’re afraid and let everyone else live their lives.” The only way it works is if the people who are afraid totally isolate themselves and do not come into contact with anyone who’s been interacting with the wider world. The anxiety, depression, and lapse in medical care is probably not worth it to most people, and not everyone can afford to do it, anyway.

    I’m anti-“lockdown.” I always put “lockdown” and “quarantine” in scare quotes because it doesn’t accurately describe most people’s situation. You’re not “quarantined” if you’re going to the store, protesting, walking your dog, having brunch on the sidewalk, and generally doing whatever you want but with a mask on. However, I am pro-mask (when indoors and around other people), pro-vaccine, pro-exploring all promising therapeutics.

    “It’s another species-jumping coronavirus, not a magical virus from space unknown to all human science, FFS. But sanity is not returning.” I feel ya. Actually, one time over the summer I said to someone (Democrat) “we have to stop treating this like it’s some demon virus that we don’t know how to deal with” and he actually disagreed. Make of that what you will.

  18. KydyllG:

    The odd thing is that it’s often the people who are most educated who seem most stupid.

    About antibodies and immunity, I wrote back in April that there seemed to be no reason to suppose that infection with COVID didn’t confer immunity, and every reason to assume it acted as most viruses do in that regard.

  19. ‘The odd thing is that it’s often the people who are most educated who seem most stupid’

    Fox Butterfield is that you?

  21. The only thing more bizarre and stupid than the nature of the South Australia lock-down, was the reason for the lock-down; reported in the WSJ.

    A Whole Australian State Shut Down Because of a Takeout Pizza That Didn’t Exist

    Schools were shut. Outdoor exercise was banned for six days. The state premier—worried by how quickly a virus outbreak had nearly spiraled out of control in neighboring Victoria state—asked the federal government to halt international flights into Adelaide, Australia’s fifth-biggest city by population.

    Supposedly, a man bought a take-out pizza from a pizza shop with one infected employee, and the customer got infected. The contact tracing indicated that the infected employee could have only touched the cardboard box.

    This sent the public health officials and politicians into a tizzy. They though it must be some new hyper contagious strain of SARS-CoV-2 and went into panic mode.

    Except, as it turned out, the man [customer] was an employee of the pizza restaurant, who likely contracted the virus from a co-worker. Health authorities say he misled them, sending them scrambling to find other customers who may have been infected.

    “Had this person been truthful to the contact-tracing teams, we would not have gone into a six-day lockdown,” said Grant Stevens, the state’s top ranking police officer.

    Doh! One faulty contact trace caused it. Can you imagine?

  22. I hate to sound like a crank, but I think this is one of the consequences of letting your government take away guns to make society ‘Secure & Safe’ – Now that compliance is involuntary, they can proceed to re-define ‘Secure & Safe’. Your public officials, who are often adept at masking their incompetence, become overly officious and dismissive of the population they ought to be respectful of, as a matter of public service professionalism.

    The Land of Oz has had quite a few of these overly-zealous public health controls put in place that are about 2% Health and 98% Control. Given the number of people, the number of police, and the number of square miles, they could never hope to enforce this law productively. The Law likes to have their options available though, should they choose to be awkward. Hard to accept that as a way of life for the citizenry – but then again (in fairness), the same kind of thing in this country caused a man to write “Three Felonies a Day”, didn’t it?

  23. Another side effect of COVID hysteria (“collateral damage,” anyone?) is the rising number of nursing home deaths caused by inadequate care or outright neglect:

    “As more than 90,000 of the nation’s long-term care residents have died in a pandemic that has pushed staffs to the limit, advocates for the elderly say a tandem wave of death separate from the virus has quietly claimed tens of thousands more, often because overburdened workers haven’t been able to give them the care they need.

    Nursing home watchdogs are being flooded with reports of residents kept in soiled diapers so long their skin peeled off, left with bedsores that cut to the bone and allowed to wither away in starvation or thirst.”

    https://nypost.com/2020/11/19/not-just-covid-nursing-home-neglect-deaths-surge-in-shadows/

  24. “In South Australia, people are not allowed to walk their dogs”

    Agree with Aggie above. It’s no coincidence that Aussies have been disarmed.
    And now stuff like this happens.
    “A warrior needs first Courage. Then, a weapon.”

  25. Australia is a cucked feminist multicultural progressive hell hole.

    I’ve lived there for a protracted period during my formative years and then later have visited every year or so. This is a useful way to know a place and a people because a series of discrete snapshots of time and place helps one to understand the changes taking place in a society. If one lives there, one gets the frog boiled slowly effect and notices very little until it’s too late…

    So, Rootless Cosmopolitan that I am (hehe), I get to watch these people do their things, having some personal interest, but also a pretty vast sense of detachment at the same time.

    Americans if they think of Australia at all, imagine it being a land of vast open spaces and rugged freedom-loving individualists.

    Well it’s certainly a vast open land. Most of said land is desert or very sparse grassland fit only for sheep, or tropical jungle up North. In these inland bits you might find some rugged freedom-loving characters wrestling crocodiles or branding cattle. They’re less than 1% of the population. Much less.

    Pretty much everyone lives within 300km of the East Coast. You could get a highlighter pen and a National Geographic Map of the World and start at Cairns in North Queensland and run it over the coast around to Adelaide and then put a dot on Perth and you’d have accounted for nearly all the population in that long smear.

    So they’re urbanites. Some of them still believe that they are children of the great outdoors, but most of them have never seen any of this outdoors that isn’t a day’s drive from the sea. They have a public sector share of the economy similar to Argentina. Everything is heavily regulated and unionised — including of course the health sector. They have a massive government funded media organisation similar to the BBC. The perpetual overdraft is serviced by selling rocks and gas to China.

    The readers of this blog are intelligent and don’t need me to draw much more of an outline sketch. And I am sure they can imagine the sapping effects upon national character of some or all of the above. Suffice it to say, a person can’t fart without obtaining an environmental impact statement first and purchasing offset carbon credits from a pious grifter who you can be sure cross my heart and hope to die never had any part in the drafting of these rules and regulations.

    20 years ago, I caught up with a well-traveled French backpacker in Brisbane. I’d met her previously when we were both working in Jakarta. She’d just worked her way up the East Coast from Melbourne via Sydney to Brisbane and had had time for form initial impressions. Her first comment was what a bunch of petty rule-bound people Australians were. She had never seen so many signs in so many places exhorting or ordering people to do or not do this or that. This is from a French bird. You can’t shampoo someone’s head in a French salon without the appropriate baccalaureate and a cartload of apostilles.

    Not unrelated: if any of you have a problem with Strident Karens, best avoid Terror (sic) Australis.

    So it doesn’t surprise me at all that they have gone into a huge moral panic over the WuFlu. Certain flaws in the national character pretty much ensure it. Plus too many vested interests are doing very nicely. The public sector folks get to passive-aggressively torture the despised normie people in the real economy who can’t earn a living talking nonsense in Zoom calls. Big business gets subsidies and tax breaks from supposed covid stimulus packages, and so on.

    Nothing really unsurprising here.

    For the rest, just like the Rest of the West, illegitimate and terminally incompetent ruling elites are incapable of exercising leadership or taking responsibility. If they were capable, they would have been filtered out and disposed of by the system long before reaching positions of authority. Such is late stage civilisational decay.

    Back to the Poor Bloody Australians. They don’t have guns. They had a pitiful few, and then a while back a ‘Conservative’ government took them away from them. Now only the government and the ethnic gangs have guns. Happy times.

    So is it surprising that they wouldn’t meekly permit themselves to be locked down again and again? Give it a year and they’ll be reporting their neighbours who haven’t yet been vaccinated on snitch hotlines.

  28. Zaphod:

    Have you ever thought of writing an Australian travel guide? 🙂

    That’s quite a description. I had no idea it was like that in Australia. How depressing.

  29. Neo @ 5:24 – The odd thing is that it’s often the people who are most educated who seem most stupid.

    I read a study a few years back how highly educated bureaucrats (not entrepreneurs) have a high degree of risk avoidance. The reason is that they have a lot more to lose in a risk environment. So many of our institutions are run by bureaucrats hence the transference to the rest of us. They mutter something about science and studies but never read them

    The press being lazy and rewarded by repeating memos from their political and corporate masters doesn’t investigate or ask hard questions or they will no longer be invited to part of the smart set.

    But we are escaping with our samizdat of internet blogs and postings. They can try and will continue to try tirelessly to control us (see Netflix Social Dilemma). Their dream state would be implementing the China social system on us. We have to resist this. Stay informed and stay involved and live your best life now.

  30. I’m a Yank observing from Auckland, New Zealand.

    The US political polarisation strategy the Left pursued against Trump in the Virus Crisis year is infecting/affecting Anglophone politics throughout the world.

    The Left abroad decided to imitate/emulate the Left in the US. It is as simple as that.

    I blame the globalist framing of “News” Pollution. Whatever is seen, or imagined, to work in one part of their mirror driven world gets adopted elsewhere.

    I hope to be in Brazil next Winter (in the North, December 2121). But anyplace where the Leftist pollution of World Culture is drowned out by anything else.

    I hate the Left already, a decade or two ago. But now, escape has become more and more difficult, and perhaps impossible.

    Instead of a fictional “West World” series, we need a tragi-comedy called “Left World,” where the arrogant and morally “superior” but power mad do stupid things repeatedly. Endlessly.

    Satire I’d pay to be told. Or Monty Python updated and internationalized to reflect today’s reality. Mocku-Monstrouness.

  31. TJ:

    I know very little about Australia and New Zealand. But it’s my impression that the left here has lagged behind the left in Canada and Great Britain rather than the other way around – at least, until very very recently. And in many countries in Western Europe (not Eastern Europe though) the left was ahead of the left in the US as well.

    It also seems – at least, from what commenter “Zaphod” has written in this thread at 8:14 PM – that Australia was earlier in its leftist extremity than the US, too.

    I have read that in Europe, Great Britain, and Canada, what passes for the right is well to the left of the right here.

    Or maybe what you’re saying is that left and right were not as polarized there until recently?

  32. “Instead of a fictional “West World” series, we need a tragi-comedy called “Left World,” where the arrogant and morally “superior” but power mad do stupid things repeatedly. Endlessly.” – TJ

    Voila.

  33. @Neo:

    The USA has constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech. There are myriad other ways to deplatform, dox, or otherwise make a person’s life miserable, but in the USA it is not at all easy to drag a person through the courts and imprison him or her just for Saying Bad Things.

    There are always people who don’t rely on salaries and HR departments and the approval of the great and good for their survival. Such people can only be silenced in the USA by physical means. FWIW the USA has far more of these people than any other Anglosphere nation — having a more inhabitable Flyover Country does wonders for independence and self-reliance.

    (Of course you have to be very careful what you *do*… the most innocuous act in Meat Space could be seized upon by a Federal DA to drag one through ‘Civil Rights Infringement’ Hell. But we’re talking speech not actions here.)

    In the Rest of the West (this certainly including Australia and New Zealand) it’s very different. Whole swathes of public debate are off limits due to ‘hate speech’ laws which criminalise Wrongspeak. Actual imprisonment may not happen that often, but The Process is the Punishment.

    Now imagine you’re the Left. All you have to do is lace all your policies (could be environmental, climate, immigration, euthanasia, town dogcatcher educational requirements, anything you can imagine) with references to diversity, intersectionality, etc… and you have poison-pilled any attempts to debate the fundamental advisability of these policies. So all you get is cowardly bickering from the ‘right’ about a few edge cases and curlicues.

    Game Over.

    Absolute free speech, no matter whom it offends and no matter how full of lies and calumnies it sometimes is seems to me to be preferable to this state of affairs. I’d even argue that a few stampedes in crowded theatres is worth tolerating given the long-term alternative.

    TL;DR: Outside the USA, the Left have criminalised large swathes of public policy debate and criticism. Is it any wonder then that these places should be more Progressive (for now) than the USA?

  34. “I now realize how stupid most of humanity is.” KyndyllG,

    “The odd thing is that it’s often the people who are most educated who seem most stupid.” neo

    It’s not stupidity. It’s indoctrination that resonates with what people want to be true. The more extensive the indoctrination, the deeper the draught of Kool-Aid.

    Aggie,

    That’s not crank talk. Madison warned that for oppressors to tyrannize, disarmament of the public was essential. Reportedly, the first thing both Hitler and Chavez did was confiscate the guns.

    C.S. Lewis warned of “moral busybodies”. In his novel “Revolt in 2100” SciFi author and libertarian philosopher R.A. Heinlein observed, “Hand the people a scapegoat to hate. Let them kill a scapegoat occasionally for cathartic release. The mechanism is ages old. Tyrants used it centuries before the word “psychology” was ever invented. It works, too.”

    I would argue that, for the left… Donald J. Trump fits that criteria perfectly. I also think that destroying Trump and his family won’t be enough, nothing less than his death will satiate their blood lust.

  36. TL;DR: Outside the USA, the Left have criminalised large swathes of public policy debate and criticism. Is it any wonder then that these places should be more Progressive (for now) than the USA?

    Good intel, Zaph. Don’t worry, I’ll get to liberating the world after I clean up a little Deep Space Leftists and traitor GOP here in America first.

    New Atlantis needs a kind of internal purge before we…

  37. I just want to find a new planet. I now realize how stupid most of humanity is. Even after this passes, they’ll just look for more things to have paranoid hysterics about.

    Why aren’t you, Neo, talking about Kyn insulting people here, the way you constantly bring up that unrelated off topic subject with me?

    For those that don’t get the inside joke, whenever Ymar started addressing humanity, and then making a solid point, the point was ignored and the accusation was made that Ymar was insulting certain individuals… by calling them “people” or “humans”.

    It’s a great Leftist trick to attack people like Trump or Ymar types, if they can’t argue against the substance points. The style is much easier to criticize.

    See, I notice Neo has a very different rules she applies to Zaphod and others. Eloi and Murlock, oh those are not insults against people here, but Ymar… Oh ymar’s style, that’s like a conspiracy theory or something like a personal attack, she has painted it before.

    When your “rules” are so arbitrary they are meaningless, Neo. If you keep deciding to ignore my warning for your spiritual future, that’s on you.

    You do not “allow” anything, I correct you. That is like your host allowing you to write what you do.

  38. Zaphod, re the Orthosphere link. What this article misses is that some of the most resentful people today are the most highly ‘educated’ and credentialed. These are people who have advanced degrees of one sort or another and who are not prospering as they think they are entitled to….the PhD who is a starving adjunct professor with little hope of tenure, the Masters in sociology who is working at Starbucks, etc. (I’ve used the term ‘intellectual lumpenproletariat’.) See this post and the links:

    https://assistantvillageidiot.blogspot.com/2020/11/deep-resentments.html

    I’ll be posting about this in the near future.

  39. Zaphod: My first impression of Austrailians was formed by the wildly aggressive surfers — Nat Young, Rabbit Bartholomew, etc. — who exploded in surfing contests in the late 60s and 70s to put Californians and Hawaiians on the defensive.

    Sorry to learn they were atypical.

  40. Zaphod…”In the Rest of the West (this certainly including Australia and New Zealand) it’s very different.”

    Kaiser Wilhelm II, in his memoirs, wrote admiringly of the British controls on the press (especially the libel laws) and wished he had had equally-stringent controls available when he was reigning!

    Kind of an interesting perspective, given the usual contrast of Prussian absolutism with Anglo-Saxon liberty.

  41. “some of the most resentful people today are the most highly ‘educated’ and credentialed”

    Also the most likely to claim they’re “oppressed” with no basis for that belief whatsoever.

    Lately the people whining about how “oppressed” they are and how they’re so tired of being civil to all the racist homophobic bigots out there are actually incredibly privileged. They have a post-secondary education, have traveled widely, live in nice neighborhoods, have decent-paying jobs, have access to high quality food, clothing, and gadgets, and have plenty of social capital to draw on.

    Tbh I think all the virtue signaling and whining about how racist, etc., their country is just gives them a sense of purpose.

  42. Yammer is being repressed (not) and censored too. Tragic. Such is life, even for one with a brain as big as a planet (not). Who knew Yammer is actually correcting out host.

    Such a gracious guest (not).

  44. Molly+Brown :
    Zaphod, What a beautiful sight. Send that guy my way – pigs are tearing up the yard!

    Here’s an even more entertaining hog-hunting video. 190 Hogs Down with the Pulsar Thermion XG50.

    For an introduction to the topic of feral pigs in Texas: A Plague of Pigs in Texas.

    There is no hunting reason contrasted to a no-hunting season for feral hogs in Texas. They may be shot year around.

    One proposal to deal with them is to set out poison. I am not in agreement, as other species could eat the poison.

  45. Zaphod: “She had never seen so many signs in so many places exhorting or ordering people to do or not do this or that.”

    I’ve been a longtime visitor to Whistler, B.C. The growth of the official signs ordering behaviors has been obvious and disconcerting. Whistler was once a backwater of rugged individuality in Canada. No longer. The Karens cannot stand even the smallest out of the way places to escape their attention. I’ve only visited Australia once, but during that short period I certainly noticed how regulated the place was. Canada is just as bad or worse.

    Once the pandemic is over, climate change will be the new reason for controlling behavior. Get ready for that fight. It’s coming.

  46. Ymarsakar:

    Because you do it very often. I have said many times that frequency is part of my objection.

    And because I don’t think Kyndyll excludes him/herself from being human.

    I have sometimes asked other people who habitually chastise people on this blog for being stupid to cease and desist with that, too, and to just state their case. I consider your remarks in that vein.

  48. I was in South Oz two weeks ago for a wedding…just got out before the latest round of panic-madness broke out. My mobile phone pinged every half-hour for a few days warning me if I had been in “place X” I was likely to get the Kung Flu & die…or some such silliness. I had been to none of those toxically deadly places & even so would not have worried a bit.

    Zaphod’s not far wrong in his descriptions. Otherwise sane functional adults are either scared spitless about global warming/climate change or the WuHuFlu apocalypse or perhaps that Trump might actually prevail. I cannot understand why Aussies give a tinker’s dam about POTUS…but some become apoplectic.

    However…Most Australians are lovely wonderful folks who are as confused about life as many of us are on any given day. They elected people they hope will govern wisely & are as disheartened as anyone when “the elected” reveal themselves as fools &/or knaves.

    At the moment…I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. My kids have opportunities here like no place on earth…and I love the folks I get to hang out with in rural Oz. You should visit when this panic tyranny ends…Beautiful and rugged beyond imagining. And really good beer & wine! I can vouch. 😉

  50. Griffin, the motel that was being used for homeless quarantine, at least one of them, was down my way in Kent. It was not well received by the locals,nor by the “residents” as at least one “broke out” and went back to their stomping grounds. I drove past it yesterday and it was a pretty pathetic sight, with a very bedraggled american flag hanging from 1 grommet. Microcosm for sure.

  51. funsize & Griffin —

    Wanna bet that motel is declared uninhabitable and condemned by the end of next year?
