I am fully aware of the problems with ‘rona due to recent family issues as well as friends and acquaintances. This delta seems to be making more people (mostly men) between 25-45 who are relatively healthy really sick than corona classic. That’s not to say any of them were/are dying of it. I’d say at this point, almost 2 years in, that ‘rona by itself (no co-morbidities) is as bad as the worst respiratory flu I’ve seen in my life. With co-morbidity, about 2-3 times as bad.
So, the question remains: why the 100x more severe response? Well, I’ve tried to answer that for myself and others in many other posts. My conclusion: this is not about money as some have suggested. There’s not enough money changing hands into one groups pockets in volume or duration to explain what’s going on. It’s power consolidation, and the only reason why it’s going so badly for the people who want to consolidate it in most of the western world is that there are many competing entities trying to grab the reins at once, they are way dumber about it than they think they are, and the federalist system of government leaving real power in the hands of entities outside the central government’s.
I’m actually a little surprised and hearted that as beaten down, conformist sheep go, the general public have a little spirit left in them in MANY places around the world.
TL;DR-it’s all about power consolidation, thankfully they are more Dr. Evil than Lex Luthor
