#covid #lockdowns have now caused a #global #recession , which has now caused more Countries to use #coal again: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/across-.. So #covid killed the #climatechange #project .
The #result of #covid #lockdowns are now being #discovered , with some 60k #uk #children with #clinical #depression https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/lockd.. This is supposed to be significantly higher than pre-lockdown numbers. Thank goodness we #sacrificed the #healthy #youth of today for now dead 97 year olds of yesterday.
#china 's #shanghai #covid #lockdowns are not going well: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/shang..
#lockdowns in #china 's #shanghai are now spreading to the entire city, meaning that all #electronics #exports are basically #halted out of #china https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/shang.. Damn.
Outright #proof that #lockdowns , #masks , #vaccine #mandates , #boosters and all other #covid #pandemic #measures have utterly #failed to curve the spread: https://ianmsc.substack.com/p/how-to-ham.. None of their original #claims that were apparently " #scientific " (although they could not be #questioned like normal #science ) were backed up or look to have been true at all.
And now the #payment is due in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/uk-h.. After years of people screaming tom #enforce more #lockdowns , we have now have to #pay the #bill - and it's going to hurt. #energy #bills are up by 50% , #inflation at 7% , #tax hikes and much more. #boris 's #response ? Push for *more* #taxation and try to #fund more #greenenergy #projects , at a time we can least afford it.
Looks as if the #chinese #economy is on the verge of a massive #contraction https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/chin.. Simply too many #covid #lockdowns , too many #shortages of every type, a #collapsing #property #market that makes up a #third of their #economic #output ... Things look dire. 2022 will be interesting for sure.
Apparently #uk #pm #boris could in theory face #criminal #charges over #evading #covid #lockdowns https://www.lotuseaters.com/boris-johnso.. We all know he won't, of course.
#china 's #ccp and their #zero #covid #policy will sure come to bite them pretty soon: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/china.. 2022 will be the year of opening up out of #lockdowns - not harsher lockdowns.
Looks like #christmas might be #cancelled in the #uk now... I might not have missed much anyway: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/bojo-.. #covid #vaccine #passports , #quarantines , #lockdowns , #bubbles - fun fun. Damn.

Seems like they are detecting new cases all over, this amount of #mutation was supposed to be *impossible* - and yet, here we are. The working #theory is that it #evolved in an #immune #compromised person - but there is no #evidence for that. The only plus side is that a #pcr test detects it.

It is a *massive* #mutation from anything we have previously seen, we are now dealing with something completely unknown. It's already being picked up all around the world now too. Fingers crossed it is not more #deadly ... But we'll see...
I have been hearing about large #protests in the #eu - although the #news is not making its way onto #socialmedia or into #mainstream #media https://youtube.com/watch?v=qj24QWrYxhE They have renewed #covid #lockdowns and I hear a lot more about #vaccine #passports (something I am also quite annoyed with). #vaccinations are not *compulsory* - insanity.
#toldyouso - #china has a *massive* #foodshortage problem - I think the #ccp just woke up to it: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ch.. #energy #shortages , #floods , lack of workers (due to #lockdowns ), etc. The first sign was when they #blocked #export of #fertilizer - they really have problems on the horizon.
I heard about this #protest going on up in #auckland #nz https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/weve-.. Apparently this #apostletamaki is a #religious chap pushing back on the #lockdowns they've been having. Bare in mind, on the #southisland , we are still in level 2, despite *zero cases* this entire time. The #government need to give people a path out of this madness.
This global #shipping problem is only going to get worse: https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-mana.. I'm now hearing about #hurricanes set to hit soon too. These #pandemic #lockdowns are literally going to crash the global #economy ...
