Charles McKay wrote Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds 180 years ago. I think it's appropriate now as well. There are so many things that don't make sense, especially if you're like me, and you recognize patterns and previous behavior.
For a disease that is going to ruin us, there are some instances regarding closures that don't make sense. If they're going to suspend the NBA season, my High School reunion, some schools in New Rochelle, campus classes at Syracuse and Hofstra University, then how can they allow the 1.1 million schoolchildren to move around NYC and go to school? Aren't they younger and more vulnerable than most?
March Madness, the fun and exciting college basketball tournament, is going to go on - but in empty arenas.
Travel to Europe, as well as trade to the EU has been either slowed down or stopped. But not the U.K. I don't understand that.
The Stock Market has collapsed. Apache Energy, $36 two weeks ago, is now on sale for $9. I'm buying. But why would the market go down? Is there no more demand for products? Have factories closed? Is the population decimated? Does no one want services? Has the banking industry gotten sick? Has buying and selling stopped?
The Corporate Media has gotten everything wrong for 30 years, and is not only propping up a repellent globalist agenda, but also brazenly lying. Now they've gotten it right? They're all acting in concert, pushing the same tale, and I'm supposed to believe that 'this time is different'? If corporate media reports it, I believe the opposite. Why they're doing it - I don't have an answer for that.
I think by the end of May no one will be talking about Coronavirus. They're pushing this one harder than the others. Think: Zika, H1N1, SARS, MERS, Swine Flu, Ebola (twice), Avian Bird Flu, and 12/21/12.
The behavior of the Corporate Media, as well as the non-events listed above during the previous viral 'outbreaks', lead me to believe that this isn't much of a pandemic at all. It's the use of fear to manage behavior of the Crowd. As Charles McKay wrote in 1841: “Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.”
