Psychological Lockdown Here to Stay

“So that seems to be that. The end of Britain as we knew it. … I must say I am astonished and saddened that this has happened to the country I love, because of an illness which will likely turn out to kill no more than might die during a very bad flu season*. Astonished and saddened by the fact that we are risking economic meltdown and the untold misery this could bring to the lives of millions in lost jobs, decimated businesses, and a plunging into poverty. Astonished and saddened that a once free people are being caged like prisoners, at a huge risk to their mental health, general wellbeing, and future liberties. Astonished and saddened that so many freeborn people seem to be welcoming all this.”
*[Covid-19 has killed around 550,000 in more than 6 months worldwide, and the W.H.O. estimates that flu kills between 290,000 and 650,000 in a season]

What are we going to do if Covid-19 comes back in the winter?
Or Covid-20 comes along next year? Not to mention Covids-21,22,23 etc? Or maybe even really bad influenza? Are we going to shutter our economy every time? Are we going to quarantine millions of healthy people again? The precedent has been set, the fear has been created, the Pandora’s Box has been opened. How do we shut it?
We have, by accepting the policy of quarantining millions of healthy people for whom Covid-19 posed almost no danger (fact: the number of under-60s who have died of Covid-19 with no pre-existing condition in English hospitals is 302), shutting places of worship, cafes, pubs, restaurants, etc, and allowing the Government to stoke up fear, acted rather like a person with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Instead of accepting that the world is a dangerous place, life is risky, and we’re all going to die one day, we have instead allowed the apparent threat of a virus to dominate us, to shape our whole way of life, to alter our thinking and our being, to destroy the good things we had, to rid ourselves of the chance to live properly like free people.
Most appallingly, in my view, is what we have done to children, who are being treated like lepers, denied the opportunity to have normal childhoods in a normal environment (fact: the number of under 19s that have died in English hospitals from Covid-19 is 16 with underlying conditions, and 4 without).
Continues …
It goes without saying the money-grubbing neoliberal US and UK governments and others would never destroy their economies for the health of the people. They would rather kill them than save them. The economy must have served its purpose of enriching the elite while impoverishing and dividing everybody against somebody else. The economy appears redundant now, and whatever comes next will also rather kill people than save them.
Can I use for a monologue?
Although not everyone here in the U.K. has bought into to COVID story, we have virtually no say in the matter, as the Government seems to have the power to control almost everything. Being told that National Trust car parks could only use a third of their public parking spaces summed up how ludicrous it has all become.
As a qualified human motivational psychologist (where my teacher was gobsmacked to hear I wanted to motivate warned me most go to his class to learn how to devestate because of the teachings that could be used for Good or Bad) Finally someone who agrees with me! Excellent article
