leaders could gain compliance and cover their actions much easier, so the system of reporting was changed. The new reporting from deaths from the COVID-19, to all deaths where the person had the COVID-19 (but it was not necessarily the cause of the persons death.) Since there was just not enough tests or test kits available to be able to be sure who had the COVID-19, even deaths where the doctor thought the person might have had the virus, were registered as deaths from the virus. The were no antibody test available that could otherwise have shown who now already had COVID-19 immunity.
The statisticians also never mentioned if only one percent of the population have been tested for the virus, but of the one percent tested, five percent of those had COVID-19; then it may be reasonable to assume that five percent of the country’s population have the COVID-19 not .05% of the country’s population have the COVID-19. The fact that this was never considered shows that there was a great attempt to make the COVID-19 seem extremely more deadly than it was.
A difference between number of active cases at 3 million or 30,000. If the deaths recorded were 10,000, then the death rate per cases of the virus, would appear to be one in three (33%) instead of the real figure one in three Hundred (0.3%), the misleading reporting frightened the populations or the West as it was designed to do.
Once the lockdowns commenced there was no real plan in the West of how to decide on the re-opening. Governments said things like, we must see a real improvement in the number of new COVID-19 cases. But the picture was slowly emerging that without any drugs capable of treating the COVID-19 or any effective vaccine then eventually the only defence would be herd immunity. The only way to get herd immunity was to get people infected with the COVID-19 and cure themselves with their immune system, this of course would be slowed by a lockdown. To be conclusive the Lock Down would have to be years long and totally effective to eliminate the virus, therefore a COVID-19 cure was needed as well as a vaccine.
Sweden is on a “low-scale” lockdown. Gatherings of more than 50 people are banned, and high schools and universities are closed — but primary schools, restaurants, and many businesses are still open.
Lockdowns in various forms commenced all the world in March and April. Done even though there was no real evidence that this would help more than, implementing some social distancing restriction and with a virtual certainty that it could not continue until effective therapy and or vaccines were available. The lockdowns would create economic damage all over the world in extreme amounts and possibly result in a death toll far greater than the COVID-19 death toll itself. the resultant complications in poor countries of lack of food and resources assistance would wreak havoc. Public opinion swung backwards and forwards between blaming the governments for locking down too late and blaming the government for locking down at all. Scandinavia was one of the few countries that made an effective halfway house the results of that they will be pleased to say was probably the same as a lock down.
The plan seemed to have worked just exactly as the Chinese and Russian leaders had planned during their constant communications in January. They rightly felt that once some countries were shutting down, the rest would simply have to follow a short while later. The lockdown methods were very haphazard, so the lockdowns did not happen immediately, or with maximum efficiency and compliance, allowing time for the COVID-19 to be effectively distributed just as they had predicted it would, creating exactly the effect that had been hoped for.
The President of America ignored his advisers with a view to maintaining the American economy open, which he knew was his main and probably only hope of being re-elected, he constantly downplayed the COVID-19 threat which he simply hoped would not be as bad as people were predicting but had no evidence to back up. The American President only bothered to liaise totally superficially with the Chinese and American experts to ensure that the COVID-19 was contained. He was unaware of the severity as the world have had many SARS virus epidemics in the past that were accepted as ‘normal’. He was unaware of the deaths caused even in his own family, this was typical of his superficial nature and all that was hoped by the Russians and Chinese.
As the death toll in America grew, the president of America immediately began damage limitation and blame assignment, as he insulted the Chinese and the World Health Organisation, eventually cutting off WHO funding from America, which potentially will kill millions of people. All of this to remain popular, like someone trying to climb up a glass wall in attempt to escape his fate.
Europe fared not much better, probably because at the time they were consumed with Brexit in a bitter struggle of jealousy and spite against the UK from Europe and because the Germany and France were trying to maintain financial dominance and dictatorship over Europe and Britain; even as the UK was leaving the European Union.
Leaders were trying to avoid tough unpopular decisions about the COVID-19 and Oil prices that were not perhaps in their own personal interest to take. Reactions seem to show that politicians (including world leaders) have a herd mentality, as do the stock market traders, financial institutions, medical institutions, Company directors and COOs, lawmakers and many other key sections of modern society, that cause the same in populations. There were various knee jerk reactions and general confusion reigned, in the case of the COVID-19 outbreak and Oil price crash.
Once Europe woke up after thousands of deaths in Italy and the rapid spread of the COVID-19 across the other European countries, it became obvious that no one even knew the origin or nature of how the COVID-19 was spread, how to protect against it and whether it was airborne or not? How long could it live outside the body? What sterilisation methods killed it. Was it seasonal or not? who was vulnerable to it? Was it a virus that targets the old or the young as many viruses seem to have a preference, or what is affective death rate per infection? There were many wild and differing reactions to the COVID-19 that all seemed to culminate in forms of restricted movement and reduction in contact between people. Of course this was inefficient and most people turned on the government looking desperately for someone to blame they blamed the government for shutting down too early not enough too long not having enough protective equipment even though it wasn’t sure what protective equipment was needed, generally turning on each other and also China, this was then the perfect time for the Oil plan to continue.
The Russians realising that global demand would, be extremely weak for Oil had worked closely with the Saudis to call off OPEC agreements that were in place and generally draw attention to the Oil price, as well as diplomatically working towards garnering support for a huge OPEC plus production cut deal. The Saudis responded in apparent outrage (as secretly planned) saying they would overproduce crashing the Oil price. It was by this time realised of course, that no matter what OPEC did, because of the lock downs, the dip in Oil price would come, how deep and how long and who it affected that mattered more than anything, hence they aimed to manage the effects. They also knew a huge cut would then create the environment for a rapid Oil price recovery as soon as the lockdowns and restrictions of movement were removed, and excess oil had been consumed.
The Saudis continued hiring all the VLCCs that they could get their hands on, these tankers would be filled with the over production that the Saudis promised, and the world doubted that they could maintain. The immediate plan was not understood by the Americans. For one they underestimated the ability of the Saudis and Russians to hold down, to exceptionally low values the WTI Oil price. The Americans had the example of the previous Oil price crash, where in fact the shale Oil producers (critical to high Oil output levels) were able to resist and re-emerge immediately after. The resurgence was because the Oil price had not been low enough for long enough and the simple nature of the land based horizontal drilling and fracturing work, meant that it lent itself to great efficiencies and cost reductions, being made especially under a administration very friendly to it. This time however the plan had been better thought out, the Saudis produced for months at extremely high levels, hired and sent virtually all of the world spare tanker supply (those available for hire plus their own) over to America and unloaded it, or stood it off the coast. These tactics ensuring that even when Saudi turned down the taps, back to the original pre-agreed levels ready for the future re-opening of economies,
