US and UK Government Response to Coronavirus is Like RABBITS in the HEADLIGHTS!

Politics / Pandemic Apr 23, 2020 - 05:30 PM GMT

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Politics

RABBITS IN THE HEADLIGHTS are the UK and US Government Response to Covid-19. Nearly always acting about 6 weeks after they should have done so and only then when in the midst of a panic, likely due to being advised by mad scientists who should not have been let out of their ivory towers!

They do not have a clue, not a single clue whatsoever, literally are rabbits in the headlights cannot even understand the most basic aspects of what's taking place. If anything should come out of this crisis than it should be less reliance on governments! Though I fear the exact opposite may transpire as governments use the pandemic to expand their reach into every aspect of ordinary citizens lives which does not bode well for the next crisis!


For instance they still have not figured out the reason why so many ethnic minorities are disproportionately suffering and dying from covid-19 both in the UK and US with promises being made to investigate and likely waste millions on BS academic studies to report back in several months time.

We'll the answer why is straight forward! It is due to relative deficiency in Vitamin D! Thus the darker ones skin the less Vitamin D one produces especially during the the winter months, hence a disproportionate higher risk of serious illness and death amongst ethnic minorities at the hands of Covid-19..

Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Will Vitamin D and Vitamin C Protect & Prevent Infection ?

And there are several new medical studies that CONIFRIM what we have known for several months now that Vitamin D3 can help PREVENT and DIMINISH the SEVERITY of viral infections. For instance the Irish government recently published a lengthy 33 page report that confirms this which you can read at your leisure.

https://tilda.tcd.ie/publications/reports/pdf/Report_Covid19VitaminD.pdf

The fact that the UK and US governments have yet to grasp such basic science illustrates why I consider their response to the pandemic to be CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT! When the dust settles there needs to be a proper enquiry to hold politicians and the mad scientists fully to account!

Anyway if you have yet to start supplementing with Vitamin D3 then start doing so now! Where I am personally taking 4000iu / 125mcg per day.

Another point to illustrate the insanity at work in the UK is that even at this late stage the UK governments lunatic scientists are advocating that the general public DO NOT WEAR FACE MASKS! Which I am sure people in China and South Korea and elsewhere will be viewing with much incredulity. Of course the reason is because the morons in charge did not prepare for any of this and so are scrambling around the world for face masks and gloves and other PPE supplies for NHS healthcare workers and so fear advising the general public to mask up as that would further reduce available supply.

The consequences of criminal negligence means that the Coronavirus pain is going to run much deeper and for far longer than it should have done! Basically if the UK government was competent than the pandemic would have been mostly over by the end of March with perhaps a UK death toll at under 250.
