Check it out.

Quote:
🇩🇰Denmark has removed the special status of covid. They no longer consider it any different than other diseases like the flu.

So, Denmark is now making the same mistakes as everyone else (including Australia) then? For "the economy", no doubt.

Can anyone remember the last time the flu was responsible for 217 Australians dying in one week - last week?

In summer?

And the flu killing over 8,000 Australians in the past 6 months?

No, I can't either.

Are they going to say Covid is now going to be treated like any other respiratory disease like the Australian government now plans to do?

Because it isn't "just another respiratory disease" and governments (including ours) know it.

Came across this today. An excellent and thought provoking piece.

An excerpt from:

They Thought They Were Free

The Germans, 1933-45

Milton Mayer

Anyone else see some similarities between this and the world we live in today?

This paragraph in particular:

"... everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way".

Feels a lot like that to me these days, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and particularly the past 12 months here in Australia after our governments gave up trying to deal with it.
