Whatever your assumptions, beliefs etc, the most important thing now is everybody's health and safety.
What really matters now is evidence based epidemiological practice.
What really matters is stopping the spread of the virus.
What really matters is that we demonstrate that we are actively taking care to not spread the virus.
What really matters is that we take proper care for every vulnerable person in our community.
My beliefs are irrelevant.
Your beliefs are irrelevant.
Belief and theory will kill, where knowledge and evidence will save lives.
My dreams are irrelevant. That is all in the future, after we have taken care of each other through this...
The Economy and Stock Market can wait.
The 5G Conspiracy Theories can wait.
The work to deal with climate change can wait, just a few months, even a year. That can wait.
The work to deal with who is liable for bad advice during the run up to this crisis, that can wait.
The Rapture can wait.
The fear of a global dictatorship being introduced can wait.
The run-to-the-hills and get away delusion is just another vector of transmission.
Evidence based medical and clinical and epidemiological really matter.
This video, one of many by Doctor John Campbell, is crucial.
Doctor John is a Nursing Trainer. He knows his onions.
Let us learn from those who have the experience.
It ought to be on all TV Networks.
It concerns what all the people ought to know, in order to make good decisions...
Let us learn from the experience of others.
Why re-invent the wheel?
Watch this video.
John Campbell is a Nursing Trainer, with decades of experience,
He presents the information the Government is not presenting, in a timely manner, so that we can integrate that information and understand why we must isolate, shut down, identify all infected people, treatment, quarantine etc, in order to see how far the infection has spread - to make the disease path visible in order to slow and stop that spread.
He suggests we (The UK, where I live) learn from those who have already been through the experience.

Thank you for reading this blog. All we need to do is be really honest, responsive to the evidence we find,and ready to reassess when new evidence emerges. The rest is easy.

Knowledge is far more efficient than belief, assumption, prejudice or ideology in resolving problems.
In my own past experience, in roles where I held responsibility for large teams of workers, whenever I was in a situation where I did not have enough accurate information which I could absorb in a timely fashion, I noticed a tendency to imagine, to make assumptions, to guess, to fall back on belief and opinion, rather than the evidence,
This created numerous problems, for me and for others. I learned very quickly to stop, seek evidence, and work with the evidence, Belief is a very dangerous thing, in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Opinion is generally useless, and tends to be a reflection of the opinion holders internalised beliefs...
It is an understandable dynamic.
If you don't have accurate info, and you are worried or frightened, what do you do?
Most people fall back on beliefs and prejudices. I know because I have done this myself.
The job of those who Govern is to provide that accurate information, in a timely fashion, so that the population, understanding the situation, can act in congruent manner to face the situation.
Good quality information, delivered on time.
The British Government have failed in this, and the Media has failed in this with regards to COVID-19.
This is not a 'flu.
I know because I am in day 7, or possibly day 13 of the illness.
I know because I know others going through this, and I see the statistics... of those who recover, many recover with lung damage that will afflict their lives. There is a wide range of symptoms, and variations are because each human body is different, there is no average.
That means that each of us going through this must pay attention, close attention to our symptoms, we must understand them and then take action based on our understanding. Belief will not suffice, except as matter of sheer luck.
-------
Then there is the trauma of such an experience, individual and collective.
How do you quantify that qualitative lived experience?
How do you prepare for that?
Honesty is the only way through.
So I repeat, do not be complacent because you have had flu's and colds before and gotten over them.
This COVID-19 disease symptom progress is way more variable than we are being told, the media and politicians throw the word 'mild' around as if it had value - as evidence it is void because we have no immunity to this particular virus, and bad management will kill many, many hundreds of thousands of people in the UK, millions world wide. Mild is deeply misleading.
The Government and Media have failed to inform the population in ways that would support our home treatments, in ways that would engage with is to follow the epidemiological protocols.
Herd Immunity and Take it on the Chin...
If you don't have accurate information, what do you do?
You make it up, you make decisions without all the necessary information.

Which is why so many people have been 'behaving' in ways others regard as insanitary, or even insane, and it is notable that much more voice is given in media to targeting those people, than the people who mislead them.
The media repeated the Government line, they did not challenge it, in the way it needed to be challenged.
The media is not baying for the head of Boris Johnson.
Why?
Be VERY cautious of material that sets one group of ordinary folk against another. Be alert to materials that might trigger lateral violence.
I wrote previously about this misleading, manipulative dynamic. I called it grooming. Political grooming that exploits ordinary folk's varied perceptions and beliefs, assumptions and blind spots.. "The Chinese Virus".....

Why?
They are not calling for his resignation or his arrest, nor or they calling for a Government of national unity, non-partisan, committed to the task, void of party politics, power grabbing and profit gouging.
Lateral Violence.
It is glorious of course, to rail about the stupidity of the masses. It's a buzz. People get off on that. It allows one to vent, to feel superior. It is a form of lateral violence. "Look at all those people who are so selfish -The loo roll hoarders, the caravans and RVs fleeing west, the frightened, the confused, the mislead, the hopeful. How stupid they are, how uncouth!" Easy targets. Wrong targets, this does not help the situation...

Social conditioning is real and it afflicts many peoples lives.
Powerful groups publish through their networks lots of dodgy 'information', gossip deliberately to mislead, mask, trigger, bully.
Where do we find accurate information delivered in a timely fashion?
