Chinese Coronavirus Insanity

Apparently, China wants a "global QR code system" for travelers. They're obviously just the ones openly saying what the globalist "elite" wants to do. What about those of us who don't have, or want, a cellphone? Are the totalitarian freaks going to make it so that I can't (legally) leave my home?

I don't know what to believe when it comes to China and the coronavirus.

Remember when it all started and there were videos of Chinese guys flopping around and then just dropping dead?

That never happened in America. Most of the crazy news from China was on twitter or various goofy websites.

For all we know the Chinese guys could just be living their normal lives and nothing is wrong at all.

Aloha!

I know, it was weird. Did they have a bad chemical leak, and cover it up by renaming the cold or the flu virus?

The lockdowns in Australia have conveniently ended just at the exact same time as the end of the yearly flu season but we have to use QR codes to go to any cafe/restaurant/bar. After being locked in your home for 100+ days, it’s difficult to just not go anywhere. I have friends that continue to stay at home out of principle because they refuse to sign in to get a coffee or meal, but I don’t see how this makes any difference other than further decimating small businesses. I expect we only have a few months break before the next winter flu season/second wave of Covid lockdowns so I’m thinking of buying a burner phone that I will only use for the QR code sign ins, but I do wish there was another way around it.

I'm sending big waves of sympathy down to Australia. I hope you can feel it.

Thank you! We have been transferred from high security prison to low security in Aus until the vax comes and it will start again. But I pray for the US and Europe as the winter lockdown tyranny has just started to kick off again for all of you x

I wonder how far they'll dare to take things. The population of my state is pretty heavily armed. Despite what you may hear from various media sources, there's not a single person on the planet who knows how many guns we have. We don't have to register them, and we can buy and swap guns privately to our hearts' content. There are a lot of people hiding guns in various ways too. There's no way they could ever really disarm us. Plus we have a ton of veterans. If you had a Venn diagram of people in my state who have well hidden weapons and people in my state who are veterans, there's probably a huge overlap.

Sounds like you are in a very good place. I truly wish I could move to somewhere like that. They didn’t need to use force here, just threaten us with fines. Melbourne is the diversity capital of the country and the soy latte capital of the world. The media bombarded us endlessly with images of the army marching through the cbd, police checkpoints on main roads, drones in parks, violent arrests at protests. I would be frequently woken up at night by drones or helicopters hovering above. But for the whole four months I never saw a police officer anywhere. When I asked other people, almost everyone said the same thing. The government used the media to manipulate everyone into compliance and 99% were only too happy to ‘do the right thing and keep everyone safe’

That's terrible, like you're living in some fictional dystopian world!

There are people here who still refuse to comply with regulations on trash pickup and plumbing or to put their money into a bank. I can't see them going along with that kind of thing.

That’s great! It sounds like the brainwashing will have minimal effect where you are. It may be funny to see them try and implement a QR code system there.

My elderly relative had to go to the ER Wednesday. She was very sick so was confused and tired. She is 85 years old. Nobody was allowed to go in with her. They tested her for COVID. As of just now it’s not back. So, it’s serious enough for the whole world to lock down and muzzles required everywhere and old people and children to die alone in hospitals and nursing homes but notttt quite serious enough to get a test back expediently. Not quiiite serious enough for the lab to be staffed on a holiday.

The world is experiencing a "pandemic" yet new nurses are not able to take their board exams due to government delays. What a joke. If this were a true pandemic they would be licensing nurses right out of school, but instead they are keeping new graduates out of work and unable to even take their boards. Total clown world

THREE days after the test I called and found out she was negative. They didn’t ask who I was or if I was on her list of people they could give out her medical info to. Shaking my head.....

I am honestly most scared of 'normal' people I see around me, suddenly turning into such intolerant people. I have a good friend of mine who goes on and on about how badly people who won't be vaccinated should be discriminated, he just thinks it totally normal that I will be excluded from any normal life when I refuse the vaccine. Even within my family I can't really reason with people, or try to explain my own perspective. I get labeled 'selfish' without any further explanation. This attitude among people, and all those crazy rules enforced by an abusive government / police, is a toxic combination.

Well be tolerant to those who are tolerant and intolerant to those who are intolerant. Your good friend needs to be asked some rhetorical questions to help him make him see how silly he is thinking. For example, There are those who believe Jews caused headache for Germans after WW1 and thus discrimination was acceptable. I am sure many think like this even today. Point is rational thinking is needed. Not extreme.

I read a lot of Holocaust stuff when I was younger. I always wondered how people could so willingly and easily turn their backs on fellow human beings. This year has solved that mystery. I also wondered how the Jews could go so easily to their slaughter, and this year has solved that mystery too. I get images of packed cattle cars and ovens any time people say if we cooperate this will soon be over. Cooperation has never in history led to tyrants giving up power.

For what it’s worth, this is not the case in my state. My girlfriend finished nursing school over the summer this year and went straight to work at a hospital.
