Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 56

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.
Re: Interview with a Tasmanian funeral director.
Date: 2022-08-31 06:10 am (UTC)INTERVIEWER: You used to do 2 - 3 funerals a week, now you're doing about 6 to 7. Is that correct?
FUNERAL DIRECTOR: Yes, we've been that busy. Michael. The last of of the [?] even this morning— I didn't know you were coming to town— but this morning I counted the numbers in the book, you know, for the past 6 months. And exactly, almost exactly, we're up in the last 6 months by 50 percent. So that's why we've been so busy.

I've been very concerned because Tuesday of this week, a very, very special school friend who I sat next to for 5 years, we had his funeral service on Tuesday. He was born in 1955. I'm seeing lots of people dying that are born in the 60s and beyond. So it's not just the elderly.
And when you feel that something's not quite right, you'll see a death notice— we may not be the funeral directors— but I think, hang on, that person is normally a super fit person. And I've had a few instances happen in the last 6 months where it has been quite startling that that they would actually pass away.
INTERVIEWER: How are they passing away? Is it like, slow or quick? What are they dying of?
FUNERAL DIRECTOR: Well, it seems that some are dying in their sleep. There's been two or three that I know that have had, this is not necessarily my funeral company, but this particular one I was thinking of, the super fit person, she died of a brain aneurysm, and I've noticed there's been 2 or 3 of those around the northern part of Tasmania. So there's something that's not quite right. It just doesn't feel right to me, and I just can't put my finger on it right now.

It seems to have happened very suddenly. Because you can imagine, we need to pre-plan with sort of staffing, with our premises. And it's only been the last, say, 7 months. The previous 10 1/4 years were very, very consistent. But this has been a rapid rise in the last six to seven months. So we are, we're quite concerned.
