Covid finally being treated like ordinary flu

GOVERNMENTS throughout the world are skilfully admitting that their Covid-19 scare tactic failed, dismally. They are gradually giving up the fight.

Slowly but surely they are lifting some of the oppressive Covid restrictions. However this is the beginning of yet another problem, climate change and the global electricity crisis.

Covid-19 will be treated like any other endemic viruses such as the flu. It is important to mention that the writer did point out back in the year 2020 that in March 19 of the same year the UK’s public health bodies and the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) decided that the new coronavirus infection should no longer be classified as a “high consequence infectious disease”.

The coronavirus was downgraded to common or garden status. Like the flu but the UK government ignored this information and went on to publish a 358-page Emergency Bill giving itself massive powers.

Now the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the MPs in the House of Commons that among other things the face masks will no longer be mandated and mandatory Covid passports for entering large events would end. One expects the South African government, whose true office of the presidency is in London, to follow suit. Just like the UK, the SA government speaks of treating Covid like any other endemic virus.

Everybody should be able to see that all world leaders read from the same sheet.
