The Process Of Freedom: Quatrain

THE PROCESS OF FREEDOM

Which are the thoughts that free you?
And which are those imprisoning you?
Which ones devour your waking hours?
And which new ones are you eating?

So How Dangerous Is This Virus?

“At present, most data are still unreliable, seeing how “suspected” cases are lumped into mortality statistics. But two situations for which we have more complete data suggest the risk from SARS-CoV-2 is minimal.

For example, of the roughly 4,800 crew on the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, 840 tested positive, but 60% were asymptomatic, meaning they had no symptoms. Only one crew member died.

Similarly, among the 3,711 passengers and crew onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, 712 (19.2%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and of these 46.5% were asymptomatic at the time of testing. Of those showing symptoms, only 9.7% required intensive care and 1.3% (nine) died.

Military personnel, as you would expect, tend to be healthier than the general population. Still, the data from these two incidents reveal several important points to consider. First of all, it suggests that even when living in close, crowded quarters, the infection rate is low.

Only 17.5% of the USS Theodore Roosevelt crew got infected — slightly lower than the 19.2% of those onboard the Diamond Princess, which had a greater ratio of older people.

Second, fit and healthy individuals are more likely to be asymptomatic than not — 60% of naval personnel compared to 46.5% of civilians onboard the Diamond Princess had no symptoms despite testing positive.”

Having read this would you agree that house arrest and enforced vaccination is actually necessary? If not then what’s really going on do you think?

Stop!
Open!
Stop hiding
Your darker side.
Face the light of truth.
Your life is but a dream
In which you’re fully vacant
Distracted and far from this place.
Caught in the spotlight spin round and round;
Ravenous pirouette seeking applause.

A GUIDE TO AWKWARD QUESTIONS

When you’re asked a question
Telling the truth is tops

Though it can be scary
Sometimes even unwise.

Lying? Best avoided
For several reasons.

Distraction works wonders.
Else maintain a silence.

LET’S DO LUNCH

Fantasies
Rewriting the scene
While others
Around them
Are busily lost in their own
Imaginations

HARDLY ZEN

The kitchen
Is full of half-dones
Started this
Started that
Went off to do something else
In the other room

BROKEN NEWS

Beware the media!
Narrative managers
Quietly pull the strings;
Consumers their puppets.

You wish to eat poison?
If so then please do so
But if not I suggest
You switch the damned thing off!

As ever they are
Preaching to

While for though they appear full
Their pews are empty
