Robert Bridge \u2013 Strategic Culture March 6, 2021<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Schwab\u2019s happy talk about the lockdown regime is at the very least plain stupid and at the worst pure sinister, Robert Bridge writes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As millions of citizens around the world are suffering the loss of employment, together with mental and physical breakdown due to the debilitating effects of pandemic lockdowns, the World Economic Forum celebrated by pointing to the environmental benefits the moment has created, like more accuracy in predicting earthquakes.<\/p>\n

In a tweet that resonated with all the subtlety of an empty beer can being kicked down the road, the World Economic Forum (WEF) informed its 3.9 million followers that \u201clockdowns are quietly improving cities around the world.\u201d And \u201cquietly\u201d is the really disturbing part of that statement \u2013 a sick inside joke, as it were \u2013 as many urban centers, once bustling day and night with myriad forms of economic activity, have transformed into barren ghost towns.<\/p>\n

In fact, the photo accompanying the tweet, which has since been deleted and replaced by an equally discombobulated message (below), features some unidentified cityscape betraying all the outward signs of urban decay and quietude \u2013 fading graffiti and empty shop windows. It is an urban scene that is totally devoid of human beings, the very life force of any city. The stark image, any normal person would think, is at odds with the WEF\u2019s message that cities are \u201cimproving\u201d under protracted lockdowns. And then comes the video.<\/p>\n

Amid maddening muzak possibly piped in from some Mad Max disaster flick, a 45-second brain scrub informs viewers as to all of the reasons they should be thankful for being locked up in their flats with screaming kids as small businesses tank and life as we knew it is memory holed. The short answer: predicting earthquakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs fewer people used transport and factories closed, the quiet enabled scientists to record small earthquakes they would usually miss and improved their understanding of seismic activity so they can predict larger earthquakes in the future,\u201d the subtitles read, summing up the unspeakable. \u201cThere were also record falls in air pollution, clearing city skies from Asia to America, but by late 2020 it had returned to pre-pandemic levels<\/p>\n

We\u2019re deleting this tweet. Lockdowns aren\u2019t \u201cquietly improving cities\u201d around the world. But they are an important part of the public health response to COVID-19. pic.twitter.com\/D2Pyb9x4yy<\/a><\/p>\n
