A Quarantine Memo (13.04.2020)

It was bound to happen, at one point I had to write a piece like this. Just to clear my mind, as the reflections of my windows get boring. The COVID-19 Special Reports, the deaths, the recovered, the contagious disease continues to spread and I’m self-quarantined by the authorities and my employers. Well, that is all good for now, but it makes a brother reflect on life. As I have been in this state for 30 days or about a month.

I know we have seen pictures of P.Diddy, Puff Daddy or Diddy where he turns a lot older than he usually does. I am sure many more looks older now. Because, they don’t have the team around them to give them make-up and fresh new clothes straight from the factory.

However, for the most of us. The days goes in checking emails, the twitter feed and Facebook feed. Listening to the news, talking to the close family and friends. Keeping in touch and letting the day go by. While the numbers are rising. More death, more horror and a worry of a second wave. While states, nations and whatnot plans to open up. We are looking wonder, who will be caught in the second wave, as the old people’s home is so hardly hit in the first wave and God knows who will be next in line. As doctors, nurses and front-line workers are catching it or even in quarantine themselves.

This is not easy times. The mind rumbles. The questions remains, as we don’t have vaccine, nor any sufficient medicine to cure this disease. We can think that the spoils of the American President and other gutsy people has the tricks. But then again, we would fool ourselves or let us be fooled by another fool.

Just like the people hooked on the 5G thingy, that is the same peddlers who are selling vitamin-cures to heal your skull, your dildos and whatnot. The same folks who sold Pizzagate and went mayhem on Clinton’s emails. However, the same folks will not cry loud for the thousands of dead because of the lack of preparation and concern about the virus itself. That is just so rich.

The headlines, the drama and the diplomatic squabble are bound to happen. The lack of funds, the stolen allocated funds, the ghost foundations and everything is bound to happen. The ghost workers and the grand corruption, as there was no transparency with COVID-19 Funds. There was no clear oversight nor care to look over the transfers of funds. Only spending because there was a dire need, not even look into tenders or reasons for procurement of needed goods too.

It is all just clear magic, the magicians in office using the space to enrich themselves on a tragedy. The death, the failure of state and the lack of protocol. The staring darkness of it all. While we are told to be hopeful. Be giddy and be cautious. Wash our hands, social distance and listen to guidance. However, we should still be woke.

These people who has power, needs to be regulated and questioned. They shouldn’t automatically get a pass, because of a pandemic. Yes, there is need for new measures and security of life. That is understood. However, that doesn’t mean they have a “free for all” or can “burn bridges” to secure wealth for post-COVID. We all see that.

This is a quarantine memo. It doesn’t have any answers, but just thoughts. Which you can either take as good or dismiss. However, be woke, ask questions and ask yourself if you see it as right. But remember, common sense needs to be common. Peace.

Opinion: Chinese authorities cannot rewrite the origin of COVID-19

There has been no scientific or medical conclusion yet on the origin of Covid-19, as relevant tracing work is still under way” (…) “The name Covid-19 was chosen by the WHO for the purpose of making no connections between the virus and certain places or countries. The origin of a virus is a complicated, scientific issue. It should be left to scientists and doctors to find out through studies and research” (Chinese Embassy in the UK – ‘The Mail on Sunday published a letter from the Chinese Embassy in UK on its report on the origin of COVID-19’ 13.04.2020).

This here is not important in the scale of things. This virus could come from wherever and the end-game is still the same. We have have to all find the cure, the vaccine and medicine in general to defeat the Coronavirus or COVID-19. That is what is key, as the world is under lockdown, the nations are under state of emergency and so fourth. Not, like there are bigger fishes to fry. However, the Beijing government. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can lie to their own citizens, but not to us!

The CCP and President Xi Jinping can lie all he wants in his own domain. He can block every single foreign journalists who dare to insult his intelligence. He can do so there, but he cannot go against the facts, that COVID-19 came from Wuhan in Hubei Province. It is maybe not a propaganda victory. It is not the cure for eternal youth, but its there. The Joint Report combined with WHO states so too. They did it together, but maybe the Chinese Ambassador was told to scrap this public report?

Who knows, but I will just quote two passages of this public report. Because, rewriting history at this level. Is outrageous. It is abysmal method of governing. Instead of manning up and take it on the chin. That is why your busy giving away all sorts of medical gear world-wide to patch the hurt right? Not just humanitarian, because the Chinese usually gives away with a hope of earning a fortune down the line. We have seen that with the Belt and Road Imitative. So, we don’t have to make that up.

Here’s the key passages in concern of origin:

COVID-19 is a zoonotic virus. From phylogenetics analyses undertaken with available full genome sequences, bats appear to be the reservoir of COVID-19 virus, but the intermediate host(s) has not yet been identified. However, three important areas of work are already underway in China to inform our understanding of the zoonotic origin of this outbreak. These include early investigations of cases with symptom onset in Wuhan throughout December 2019, environmental sampling from the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market and other area markets, and the collection of detailed records on the source and type of wildlife species sold at the Huanan market and the destination of those animals after the market was closed” (WHO-China Joint Mission, P8 2020,).

Since the COVID-19 virus has a genome identity of 96% to a bat SARS-like coronavirus and 86%-92% to a pangolin SARS-like coronavirus, an animal source for COVID-19 is highly likely. This was corroborated by the high number of RT-PCR positive environmental samples taken from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan” (WHO-China Joint Mission, P: 34, 2020).

All the measures and test here sets the fixed mark towards one wet-market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is not on the North Pole, neither anywhere else. This the WHO, who the ambassador was busy discrediting, which made a study together with Chinese scientists. So, not like it was busy-bodies, but their own who did it and traced it. Because, they needed that to be able to strike down efficiently against COVID-19. The ambassador and Chinese authorities maybe thinks people are stupid. However, they better do things correctly and they cannot win in their arguments. When its already out there and the joint operations has already been concluded. Stop. Kidding. Yourself. Peace.
