All of the worst disasters in recorded history have been natural disasters — earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, and floods.

A natural disaster depends on the size and location of the event and is generally only catastrophic if they take place in an area where they affect human populations.

There is often a relationship between past events and future events, but the fact remains that we cannot predict or control natural events., but they are thanks to our help surging exponentially affecting around 217 million people a year.

80% of this growth is the direct result of Climate Change.

Most of these disasters killed around 250,000 people.

The world death toll from the Coronavirus/ COVID-19 is unknown but the figure we are all watching is likely to be an under-report.

a person wearing a costume: Watch: New NZ cases were announced on Saturday.

The truth is we don’t know how many deaths have or are taking place.

If we assume that 2% of the world population ( 7 Billion) get the virus that is 140,000,000 million and if only 0.05% died as a result that is 35,000,000.

Scary.

With a vaccine some months away it’s more than scary.

As of 20 April 2020, approximately 165,000 deaths had been attributed to COVID-19.

To put some perspective on the above the 1918 influenza pandemic killed as many as 50 million. If a similar contagion happened today it could kill up to 80 million and wipe out more than 5% of the global economy.

Correct me if I am wrong both started with the infection of one person.

When one looks at COVID-19 it will be catastrophic when it hits countries that do not have the capabilities to stop its spread.

This is why we need NATO to step up to the plate.

The WHO has neither the means nor the organization to administer a vaccine on a global scale and rest assured if we are to get to grips with COVID-19 on a global scale ( which is an ongoing world pandemic with over 2 million cases) we will need a military-style response.

Here is my suggestion.

NATO needs to reinvent itself and now is the time to do so.

It is going to take an army of trained people to administrate a vaccine when it arrives.

If you support this idea please copy the below letter to NATO and email it to the following email address.

mailbox.tribunal@hq.nato.int

20/04/2020.

Dear Sirs,

As you know the world is in the grip of a war with an invisible enemy call COVID-19.

Never in your history or the world’s history is an alliance so needed to defeat this enemy.

To do so your military clout is needed urgently to coordinate and administrate worldwide a vaccine WHEN IT COMES.

What’s wrong with this picture?

As much as one can admire your new headquarters that cost somewhere around 1.6 billion, here is an opportunity to justify its cost and show the world that you can indeed protect and defeat an enemy.  

WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PREPARE YOUR MEMBERS BY TRAINING ALL THEIR PERSONEL TO BE ABLE TO ADMINISTER THE VACCINE ON A WORLD SCALE.

TO COORDINATE AND TRACK ITS SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION.

Yours,

Robert de May Dillon.

(Five-minute read) 

First, let me state the obvious.

The Covid-19 doesn’t just call our bluff it is questing the way we allow our society to be run. 

It is bringing into sharp relief what some of us have always known to be true. Our current way of living must end.

Capitalism and the culture of hierarchy that props it up is now extremely screwed up. 

The story of Capitalism up to now has been selling your labour so you don’t end up on the streets.

We should not behave to exist this way.

We come into this world kicking and screaming for our own needs while our birth’s, and our eventual departure’s, have all been turned into a product by capitalism to generate profit. We leave silent.

We live in a world where nearly everything has some kind of cost and the increased workforce automation is suggesting that things will keep getting worse.

What is considered valuable by man or the people of this world are of little or no value when one is confronted by a virus (which unfortunately some of us are witnessing this very minute) that does not discriminate any grounds.  

Money, wealth, riches, gold, property, power and so on are either transitory, fading or can be destroyed in the blink of an eye and are of no value in the long term.

In the past few years, the money markets have fallen in a heap with the global financial crisis and the value of money becoming very shaky. The same can be said of shares, property and other investments. And this is nothing new for the economic cycle goes through boom and bust every seven to ten years making fortunes at one time and destroying them at other times.

However, men believe that wealth gives you the power to be able to rise above the problems and issues of the world.

How wrong he is.

The coronavirus is not the only virus we have to confront we also have to confront capitalism and the world that sustains it.

Climate Change was not enough to make the world pause.

The challenge man faces is that we think only of the here and now.

We now have a moment to consider what a rapid response to the climate emergency would look like – how we build a society that completely transforms our social order towards something that is in equilibrium with the biosphere and gives to each according to their needs.  

But will more sustainable capitalism emerge from Covid-19 highly unlikely as the protection of private interest over public interest remains the same?  

What the coronavirus has and is showing is that our cheapskate governments can provide far more in social programmes than they have. 

While none of us can predict the future let’s hope that this time the penny drops. 

The risks of Covid – 19 are now but the risks of climate change with the clock ticking needs us to wake up before the alarm goes off. 

It’s not science, not protest, that will save the planet. Science alerted us to global warming but understand the nature of the world is crucial to dealing with it. 

Everything has a function and our function is to fit into our world and not divorce ourselves from nature.

With the age of technology and its Algorithms working themselves into everything relentless, enabling profits to disappear far from the trickle-down effect the coronavirus is revealing heroes and villains across the world.

The markets might be paralysed with numerous industries entering a state of suspended animation the environment is getting a recovery period.

Covid -19  is showing us that on the horizon, capitalism in its current form threatens value. It is built on the premise of instant gratification.

Many businesses today are aware of this failing in mankind and play to it to great effect encouraging us to insure ourselves against the cost of living and dying but we are now trading for time and for eternity.

The corona-virus is certainly a much greater reward than the fleeting pleasures of this life.

The new WFH world that emerges from this will be intriguing – Universal Basic Income.

THE BEADY EYE ASK’S: IS THERE ENOUGH LEADERSHIP TO OVERCOME THE THE LONG-INFLICTED DAMAGES AND TO PULL PEOPLE TOGETHER AND TO REESTABLISH COMMUNITY?

(Seven-minute read) 

Now assaulting a fragmenting Western World comes a pandemic whose consequences cannot be known.

For once we are all concerned about the same thing.  Our life.

But our real lives really on the very thing we are destroying on a daily bases the planet on which we all live.

The coronavirus pandemic is not just concentrating the messages we are receiving it is exposing the inequalities created by the soul of capitalism- Greed.

People had a vague sense of these inequalities up to now and things haven’t changed all that much.

All over the world, the poor, immigrants and ethnic minorities were more susceptible – not, as eugenicists liked to claim, nor because they were constitutionally inferior, but because they were more likely to eat badly, to live in crowded conditions, to be suffering from other, underlying diseases, and to have poor access to healthcare.

This much is relatively well known.

One hundred years ago, a world recovering from a global war that had killed some 20 million people suddenly had to contend with something even more deadly: a flu outbreak. The world has suffered many pandemics in the years since – but this one is far-reaching in more ways than the loss of life, with few places escaping.

Pandemics now spread more quickly than they had in the past the result is a disease take longer to burn itself out.

The picture we have of the pandemic is vastly more detailed today than it was 20 years ago, let alone 50 or 100 years ago. 

Back then the public health system was in their infancy – in many places, only the middle class or the rich could afford to visit a doctor.

They produced a toxic cocktail of an idea: people who caught infectious diseases only had themselves to blame and the family was often described as a poignant testimony to the disease’s cruelty.

 The pandemic revealed the truth as it still does today.  Nobody is immune.

Even though most of us alive today have seen or heard of Ebola (mentioned in the media 16 million times) Sars (55 million) HIV (69 million times)  Covid-19 has been written about over two billion times so far.

Who is behind this massive push?. 

If you believe everything:

(Big-Pharma) want the virus to spread, because it will bring them profits in mandatory vaccination whether it prevents or aids the spread of the virus;

Governments want the virus to spread because it allows them to impose martial law and abolish civil liberties;

There may be an element of truth in the above but must world leaders are attempting to contain the rapid spread of Covid-19 by simultaneously performing two opposing and difficult tasks- preparing their countries for significant risk and avoiding inciting panic. 

However, it’s worth considering the erosion of trust.

While it cannot be known for sure, the Covid-19 outbreak may have been contained earlier under different leadership conditions there is no doubt that the current Pandemic will cast a long shadow over the 21st.

Lack of consistency and scale of response will, unfortunately, be refected.

When significant problems strike leaders, must be careful to avoid saying something they will end up contradicting later. Crises management is perhaps the most difficult test for leaders. 

Winning short term news cycle isn’t a long term solution. This is especially true with Covid -19 a threat that is evolving constantly.  

It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.

It is reminding us that ones reach must go beyond one’s grasp.

It is reminding us where there was once a community, no matter how unequal, there is a lack of community. 

Above all, it will shine a light on Greed. 

When it is over we will be locked in an economic civil war over who is to own a country, its assets and global trade. 

We should bear that in mind as we prepare for the next one.

Why?

Because the community is also being destroyed by artificial intelligence.

There are 195 countries in the world today.

As to how many people groups are there is anyone guess. 

The world can no longer operate on GDP, G8, G4, G7 or G anything if we are not to live scars until we died.

It must come together on all fronts that are vital to our existence.

THE BEADY EYE SAY’S: THERE IS ONE BIG LESSON FROM THE CORONA-VIRUS THAT STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.

( TWO MINUTE READ)   That is that the world is unable to react quickly enough to a disaster and a plaster here or there will not work.  Disaster after Disaster, we see the same thing. You would think by now we watch Governments scrambling to obtain supplies and the United Nations begging for Funds that we would have learned the lesson. Preparation. The solution is obvious – AVOID THE SUPPLY CHAIN.  What is needed are fully Supply Depots, properly quipped to effect distribute, positioned around the Globe. The world population is 8 billion out of which 2/3rd according to the United Nations will be are living in cities by 2050. To date, there are 33 urban centres with populations of more than 10 million people. In North America, 82 per cent of people were found to live in cities, compared to 74 per cent in Europe. In Asia, around 50 per cent of people were based in metropolitan areas, while Africa was thought to be the least urban-populated continent with only 43 per cent of its population situated in cities. So if you allowed one depot for every 250,000, these cities alone would require 40, and with a rough estimate, on the same premise, the rest of the world would require a further 25,000. All under the jurisdiction of the United Nations should be given the same status as Embassy in order to deter abuse for any political agenda.   This would create for lack of a better word a network of self financing aid ground satellite.. How would they be paid for and supplied? The cost could be spread fairly by applying a 0.05% aid commission on all world activities that are for-profit for profit sake. For example:  High-Frequency Trading, Sovereign Wealth funds acquisitions, Lotto’s, Gambling, all foreign exchange transactions over 50,000$. This would create a perpetual fund of billions. It is obvious that the world economies are going to need a massive stimulus when this Pandemic is over. What a better way to it than Preparation for the next one. ANYONE THAT HAS A BETTER IDEA FEEL FREE TO COMMENT. All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) from a lay man’s point of view.

When the facts are clear our choices become obvious.

1) What is it?

2) Origin?

3) Transmission?

4) What is does?

5) What can we do?

6) What can we expect?


I) A virus something you can see made of genetic materials called DNA and RNA which is protected by a protein shell that is made of proteins. A virus has no cells, no metabolism, no cell respiration, it does not growth or development, it has no life span, it depends on the host cells to reproduce, it is inert.

So it can sit on a surface till it finds a living cell to attach to in order to inject its DNA.

Its not a life form that actively searches for its victims.

It looks like the above.

The little spikes are the receptors protein that hijacks our DNA cells.

When they do our body defence’s go into overdrive, temperature skyrockets, resulting in fever, dry coughing, shortness of breath, ect. The spikes are the enemy, if they’re not there or they are damaged they cannot penetrate the cell.

2) We don’t know for sure where it has come from.

The media says everything from bats, to military labs,  to Aliens.

Let’s worry about that when we know how to stop it killing.

Its original name came from China Wuhan Virus. Unfortunately, this naming business if dangerous as it stigmatized what it is associated with.

Its scientific name is Sars-CoV2 creating a condition called COVID-19.

( Co – is Corona. VI – is a virus. D- disease. 19 – the year it was Id)

It is not the Flu which has to be on earth for over two thousand years.

3) Physical Contact.

Airborne droplets up to three hours or surface droplets up to two or three days.

4) Antibiotics do not work against the infection as the virus is not bacteria.

5) Wash your hands.

Try not to touch surfaces that have not been uncontaminated. If you do wash your hands every time it is a discipline.

Social distancing, not social isolation is a must.

Cough or sneeze into a tissue.

Good sleep, Exercise, Stress out, all help your immune system.

And Mushrooms. Reishi mushrooms directly bind to the virus. However, be careful of what you do with mushrooms. 

6)  It depends upon our response- Individually and collectively. 

Discounting is a no-no. We have passed the window of containment. 

There is no option but to chill and try to mitigate the spread as we don’t know if the coronavirus has any pattern, it is up to us to mould the way that is unfolding in our communities.

A new normal is on the horizon. Economics must be about people and not profit.

Stay safe.  Hope this post contains some helpful information.

THE BEADY EYE ASK’S: WILL WE BE READY FOR THE NEXT PANDEMIC?

This is with the current Coronavirus might seem an academic question.

However we the world have ignored for the greater part all previous pandemics.

For example, the Spanish Flu killed more people than World War I.

World War One and its consequences are etched in our historical memories but the Spanish flu is hardly remembered.

Ebola was on our TV and Aids down to sexual ordination.

Over 70 million are now infected with Aids. All connected to each other.

(Aids can take up to ten years after transmission to show its self.)

Thanks to a massive effort with the drugs to manage it are now affordable Aids is now no longer a killer.

So over the years since then, we have come to believe that Aids is cured. This is not so there are over 2 million new cases yearly in the world.

That gives you an impression of what is going on in the world.

This is why we need to take global health to the top of our priorities.

What do they all these viruses have in common?

They all come from animals.

However, this is not the problem its now a combination of infections spreading in urban high density, the enormity of mobility, climate change, conflict, deforestation, food demand, population growth, which means that we are and will be more and more exposed to what see today. With the results that the overuse of antibiotics and vaccines the risks are getting bigger and bigger to antimicrobial resistance.

So what should we be doing?

It’s not the global response that is important.

We need to train rapid support teams that can be deployed to help any country with a network of back up volunteers.

We need obviously, to strengthen public health systems in the world.

We need more effective engagement with communities

WE need to share Data and samples of viruses worldwide.

WE need Research &Development systems with no market incentives.

We need to suppress fake news.

WE need a universal flu vaccine.

WE need to understand that the risk of this Pandemic is enormous, and that is is not the last.

The key is to invest in getting rid of Inequality world wide.

Promises are not worth the paper they are written on. Once they are broken sorry mean nothing.

We need International solidarity with individual responsibility.  Actions speak louder.

This is not the subject of science fiction it is closer to fact than fiction with good new reasons to pay attention.

Epidemics are certainly not new or unpredictable. A new strain of the influenza virus occurs every 1-2 years. We know a pandemic has occurred every 10-50 years for the past few centuries, and the last one was in 1968, so we’re overdue one.

Epidemiologists have some time not being talking of whether there will be a new pandemic, but of when it will occur.

While we sit at home social media is now brings us dier warnings with alternative fact from all quarters of the world that are moving so fast it is hard to keep up or give a damn.

Restaurants have tons of unsold food while supermarkets struggle to stock their shelves. Brexit will have no bearing, the EU Stability pack is a joke.

Predictions are everywhere, but the coronavirus is going to teach us all that we need to look after the planet that we all live on. 

Over the past century, humans have been transforming the planet so profoundly that we are pushing it into a new geological era.

Previous pandemics had an environmental impact – loss of agricultural activity allowed forests to regrow, and their photosynthetic activity sucked so much carbon from the air it contributed to the regional cooling. Although greenhouse gas emissions may drop suddenly, the effect on temperature would take centuries to perceive because of how long carbon dioxide persists in the air.

Perhaps we are coming to the realisation that globalization allows us to share goods and diseases, however, it seems we are more worried about being wifi bored.

If there is going to be one lesson to be learned from all of this it is that inequality the virus that causes much more than the source of virus-like Cov -19 – Wars, Slums, Mass immigration, indeed you would not be wrong to blame it for most of the woes we all witness on a daily bases must be eradicated.   

As a result here we are with countries with no water to wash their hands. (With trillions poured into reducing Co2 projects involving water made up less than 1%.)

Coronavirus is exposing the fragility of social life and that fragility is not because of the pandemic but rather the inequalities built into living. 

The unfolding economic catastrophe will historically mark this different than any natural disaster or financial crash as it is falling on the poorest. 

Up to now, we have all be concerned at technologies or events that have the potential to radically alter our planet, no one was talking about a global pandemic? 

The blame game will come later.

If we continue on a path of global climate change, land-use change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss and population expansion?

There will be no blame game.

The world’s population in the Middle Ages was just a few hundred million; in 1918, it was 1.8 billion – now it is more than 7 billion. The numbers of people infected and killed could run into hundreds of millions. Industry, food production, and the trappings of our modern world economy would all suffer, but this could be to the benefit of the environment.

It used to take days, weeks, months to circumnavigate the globe. Now it takes about a day. Very few diseases show symptoms in that short period of time, so someone could be infected with a virus or bacteria, jump on a plane and infect someone else halfway across the world in a matter of days.

Wouldn’t it be great to achieve some of these desirable planetary outcomes without the horrific suffering of a global pandemic? 

If we don’t perhaps it will be no longer a human-dominated planet.

Everyone seems to have completely ignored the potential for bio-weapons that are released simultaneously in multiple parts of the world, spreading a worst-case virus quickly everywhere.

Is this possible? Of course, it is, and probably become more possible every day.

The danger of either a naturally occurring pandemic of this sort, or a human-engineered catastrophe, is not a wild scenario at all.

One way or the other it is going to take years (or months, if we’re really, really lucky) to develop, test and approve a new vaccine or treatment.

I, personally, am not given to scaremongering however to defeat the Coronavirus it seems obvious to me in order to do so one must know who is infected and who is not.

THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY A LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT EVERYONE (INFECTED OR NOT )TO REGISTERED WITH A CENTRAL CONTROLLING BODY IN THE AREA IN WHICH THEY LIVE, LIKE THE TOWN HALL, OR A CENTRAL MONITORING COMMITTEE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Then every day in the morning they send their temperature, with their photograph to make sure they don’t pose danger to anyone in that space. Allocated a code check.

This measure lasts 14 days and is mandatory. 

Those advised to isolate have food delivered with packaging disinfected with the names, id and temperature of the people who had cooked the food only from strictly controlled restaurants.

The people that delivered the food have also to meet these requirements (take the temperature every two hours and communicate the distribution company)

Each house is entitled to 5 masks per week that they get at the nearest pharmacy.
