Total lockdown and Henrik Ibsen

Any coroner investigating the deaths should be able to draw attention to the underlying problems that will result in more such deaths and do so with sufficient vigour to result in a scientific inquiry.

Here's a submission rebutting the "evidence" from business pleading to open up faster.

This play, An Enemy of the People, was censored in China following performances in September 2018.

The audience recognized that the Norwegian local business interests rejecting medical advice to protect public health were exactly like the Chinese officials who initially covered up the Wuhan outbreak of covid-19 a year later. The Chinese officials recognized the resemblance too and simply cancelled the play. It is available as video Starring Steve McQueen.

Well worth watching. I initially thought the play presented the behaviour of local businesses a bit too crudely.

But a glance at today's media in full cry for "opening up" shows a level of shamelessness that is hard to caricature.

Our national government told everybody that it was their patriotic duty to download the Covid-safe app in order to enable the government to safely open up the economy.

A large majority decided not to do so.

There are many reasons why people don't trust governments. But governments do know they are not trusted.

The lie that the economy is being opened up "safely" should be exposed.

Promotion of Henrik Ibsen's play could be a major contribution.
