CVID-19

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The first known case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The disease quickly spread worldwide, resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic. Several COVID-19 vaccines were approved and distributed in various countries, which initiated mass vaccination campaigns.

The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is a global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The novel virus was first identified in an outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. Attempts to contain it there failed, allowing the virus to spread to other areas of Asia and then worldwide in early 2020. As of 7 December 2023, the pandemic has caused 772,138,054 cases and 6,985,951 confirmed deaths, ranking it fifth in the list of the deadliest epidemics and pandemics in history.

National reactions ranged from strict lockdowns to public education campaigns. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended that curfews and lockdowns should be short-term measures to reorganise, regroup, rebalance resources, and protect the health care system.[266] As of 26 March 2020, 1.7 billion people worldwide were under some form of lockdown. This increased to 3.9 billion people by the first week of April—more than half the world's population.

SI 2020/350 was introduced by way of a Statutory Instrument made by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, using emergency powers available to him under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. The regulations themselves stated the legal basis for using such powers, namely "the serious and imminent threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in England"; he also certified that the restrictions "are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to that threat."

The regulations came into force immediately they were made, at 1pm on 26 March, and were laid before parliament at 2.30pm on the same day. The Secretary of State used section 45R of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 to enact the regulations immediately subject to retrospective approval by resolution of each House of Parliament within twenty-eight days. In the regulations themselves he stated that "by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make this instrument" without – as would normally be the case – having first placed a draft before parliament for prior discussion and approval.

Clsures

The business closures originally set out in SI 2020/327 were re-enacted. With a few exceptions, all premises selling food or drink for consumption on the premises had to remain closed including cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs; any adjacent seating area was to be treated as part of the premises. Hotels were, however, allowed to continue to provide food to guests via room service. The provision of food for consumption off the premises was explicitly stated to be allowed. The regulation set out a new and more detailed list of non food-related businesses that had to cease entirely, including most sports venues, sports courts and gyms; indoor leisure facilities; nightclubs; personal care services such as beauty parlours, nail bars and hairdressers; cultural venues such as cinemas, theatres and museums; car showrooms; and all outdoor markets except stalls selling food.

In addition, libraries and all types of non-food shops were required to close unless they were on an approved list or were able to fulfil orders by delivery or without allowing personal access to their premises. The approved list of business premises allowed to remain open included food retailers, supermarkets; hardware, homeware and convenience stores; off licences; banks, building societies and post offices; laundrettes and dry cleaners; medical centres, pharmacies; vets, pet shops; petrol stations; car repairs; bicycle shops; taxi and vehicle hire; funeral directors; storage facilities; building and agricultural suppliers; car parks, and public toilets. Subject to a few exceptions, all accommodation businesses such as hotels, B&Bs, holiday cottages and campsites had to cease operation. Places of worship also had to be closed, except for funerals or to provide essential voluntary services such as food banks.

Restrictins

As a general rule, no person was allowed to leave the place where they were living without 'reasonable excuse' (though this did not apply to anyone already homeless). No exhaustive definition of 'reasonable excuse' was provided, though the need to leave home to do any of the following was specifically allowed: to obtain basic necessities (including food and medical supplies) for those in the same household or for a vulnerable person; to obtain supplies for the essential upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household, or that of a vulnerable person; to obtain money; to take exercise either alone or with other members of the household; to seek medical assistance; to provide emergency assistance, or assistance to a vulnerable person; to donate blood; to move house where reasonably necessary; to fulfil a legal obligation; to access critical public services including childcare; to continue existing child-access arrangements between parents; to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm.

Travel for the purposes of work or voluntary service was considered a 'reasonable excuse' only if it was not reasonably possible to work at home. Religious leaders were allowed to leave home to attend their place of worship. Leaving home to attend a funeral was allowed only if the deceased was a close family member or a member of the person's household. Attending the funeral of a friend was prohibited unless there were neither close family members nor members of the deceased's household in attendance. Generally, all public gatherings of more than two people were prohibited. The only exceptions were: where all persons were members of the same household; where the gathering was essential for work purposes; to attend certain funerals; or where reasonably necessary to facilitate a house move, provide emergency assistance, provide care to a vulnerable person, to participate in legal proceedings or fulfil a legal obligation.

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings) (England) Regulations 2021 (SI 2021/1340) is a statutory instrument (SI) made by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in response to the Omicron variant during the COVID-19 pandemic. The regulations were similar to previous face covering regulations that had been revoked in July 2021. Subject to some exceptions, they required members of the public in England to wear a face covering on public transport and in most indoor shops between 30 November 2021 and 26 January 2022. During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks or coverings, including N95, FFP2, surgical, and cloth masks, have been employed as public and personal health control measures against the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The regulations applied in England only (the rules were different in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any type of face covering was considered acceptable under the regulations, provided that it covered the wearer's nose and mouth; there was no requirement to wear a 'mask'.

Subject to some exceptions, nobody was allowed – unless they had a "reasonable excuse" – to board or to be on board a public transport vehicle without wearing a face covering. Those responsible for premises and for public transport services were required to inform customers, for example by displaying a notice, that face coverings had to be worn unless an exception applied or the customer has reasonable excuse. It was a criminal offence to contravene the regulations, and offenders could be prosecuted or issued with fixed penalty notices of up to £6400. Both police officers and some other officials had the power to deny access to a "relevant place" and to public transport to anyone not wearing a face covering.

Enfrcement

Enforcement of the regulations was in the hands of the police, with provision being made for the local authority and the Secretary of State to designate additional people for some purposes. It was a criminal offence to breach the restrictions on movement, or without reasonable excuse to breach any of the gathering or business closure rules. Enforcement was by fixed penalty notice (£60 for a first offence, halved for prompt payment) or by prosecution. A police officer had the power to direct anyone in breach of the restrictions on movement to return home, and to direct unlawful public gatherings to disperse, in both cases using force if necessary. Failure to comply was an offence. The regulations were set to expire on 26 September 2020, but in the event were revoked on 4 July 2020.

Mrale

As the coronavirus swept across the UK, many people responded by putting rainbow pictures in their windows. These pictures were told to offer a message of hope to the public during the coronavirus lockdown and were primarily been drawn by children urging people to keep positive, with rainbows showing that the sun follows heavy rainfall. The NHS Rainbow has been prominent in the covid response, but the true roots of the NHS Rainbow lie symbolically as a sign of safety for staff and patients who identify as LGBT+. The popular badge concept was originally created by Evelina London Children’s Hospitals who recognised there were health inequalities for their LBGT+ patients.

Clap for Our Carers, also known as Clap for Carers, Clap for the NHS, Clap for Key Workers or Clap for Heroes, was a social movement created as a gesture of appreciation for the workers of the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) and other key workers during the global pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which spread to the United Kingdom in January 2020. The event is typically a round of applause outside a participating person's home or from one of their windows, however people have also taken part by banging pots and pans, playing music and setting off fireworks. Millions are reported to have taken part.

In the first campaign, at 20:00 on 26 March 2020, people across the UK clapped, cheered, and rang bells to thank NHS workers for their role during the pandemic. Princes George and Louis, and Princess Charlotte also supported the event from their residence at Anmer Hall. On 2 April, appreciation extended to all key workers, including healthcare workers, emergency services, armed services, delivery drivers, people who work in shops, teachers, waste collectors, manufacturers, postal workers, cleaners, vets and engineers. That day, event founder Annemarie Plas wrote in an Instagram post, "tonight we will show our appreciation again! For ALL that go out to work so that we can stay in!".

Nursing Times, a magazine for the health care profession, reached out to nurses on social media to ask for their views on the return of the applause and the new name Clap for Heroes. Nearly all of those who responded said they did not support the event coming back. Cate Mimi wrote: “As an NHS nurse, I do not want to be clapped for. All I want is for people to stick to the guidelines and for the government to raise the wages for nurses.”. In adition, several people raised concern about the use of the term “hero”. Vicky Bintley wrote: “We aren’t heroes, or brave. We are educated professionals with careers in nursing.” Kirstie Hill said they believed hero was a “dangerous” term, because it “implied invincibility”.

During the pandemic:

TikTok dances filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic were told to boost morale and encourage the public to follow stay-at-home orders. The TikTok trend began a few months into the pandemic as cases rose and hospitals were increasingly reported as overwhelmed. TikTok dances were performed by the cardiology team of New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, England, and ward J19 of St. James's Hospital in Leeds, England.

Prtests

Protests, demonstrations and strikes occurred around the world against national responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by governmental bodies. Some were driven by the financial hardship resulting from government measures to contain the virus, including restrictions on travel and entertainment, hitting related industries and workers hard. Protests also occurred in opposition to restrictions on people's movements, compulsory wearing of face masks, lockdowns, vaccinations and other measures. The first protests against the national mandatory lockdown in the United Kingdom took place in April 2020, extending into the following month before abating as lockdown restrictions were slowly eased.

As local area lockdown measures were reintroduced towards the end of summer, followed by stricter national lockdown measures, anti-lockdown protests resurged across the country beginning in September 2020. More than 55 protesters have been arrested in these events as of October 2020. Some protesters have claimed that COVID-19 is a hoax, and many refused to wear masks or practice social distancing. Protests have occurred in Shrewsbury, Glastonbury, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast, Hove, Birmingham, Liverpool, as well as a few other cities.

Protests over restrictions overlapped with anti-vaccine protests following the start of the UK's COVID-19 vaccination programme in December 2020. On the weekend of 24–25 July 2021, protests broke out again in several major cities in the United Kingdom including London, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham due to people opposing vaccines and proposed COVID passports.

Vaccinatin

A COVID‑19 vaccine is a vaccine intended to provide acquired immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19). The initial focus of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines was on preventing symptomatic, often severe, illness. In 2020, the first COVID‑19 vaccines were developed and made available to the public through emergency authorizations and conditional approvals. Initially, most COVID‑19 vaccines were two-dose vaccines, with the sole exception being the single-dose Janssen COVID‑19 vaccine.

However, immunity from the vaccines has been found to wane over time, requiring people to get booster doses of the vaccine to maintain protection against COVID‑19. As of 9 November 2023, 13.53 billion doses of COVID‑19 vaccines have been administered worldwide, based on official reports from national public health agencies. By December 2020, more than 10 billion vaccine doses had been preordered by countries, with about half of the doses purchased by high-income countries comprising 14% of the world's population. The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

This is so sad, and amounts to mass murder, don't take anymore MRNA jabs; THEY ARE KILLING YOU. Cartland has a First-Class Honours degree in Biomedical science that included a year of specialist immunology and microbiology/virology training including statistical analysis. Doctors who are retiring, are self isolating humanity, they are being paid off not to break cogitive dissonance.

He is speaking from the field, outlining his previous week whilst anticipating another week. Hundreds if not thousands of doctors and scientists agree with his statement, and they are campaigning to have MRNA jabs stopped. Who knows better? the Marxist-Leninist Malthusianists slaughtering the world en mass? with yet another historical wave of Communist inflicted megadeath.

Future Pandemics

Disease X

Disease X is a placeholder name that was adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018 on their shortlist of blueprint priority diseases to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could cause a future epidemic. The WHO adopted the placeholder name to ensure that their planning was sufficiently flexible to adapt to an unknown pathogen (e.g., broader vaccines and manufacturing facilities). Director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci stated that the concept of Disease X would encourage WHO projects to focus their research efforts on entire classes of viruses (e.g., flaviviruses), instead of just individual strains (e.g., zika virus), thus improving WHO capability to respond to unforeseen strains.

In May 2015, in pandemic preparations prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO was asked by member organizations to create an "R&D Blueprint for Action to Prevent Epidemics" to generate ideas that would reduce the time lag between the identification of viral outbreaks and the approval of vaccines/treatments, to stop the outbreaks from turning into a "public health emergency". The focus was to be on the most serious emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) for which few preventive options were available. A group of global experts, the "R&D Blueprint Scientific Advisory Group", was assembled by the WHO to draft a shortlist of less than ten "blueprint priority diseases"

Since 2015, the shortlist of less than 10 EIDs has been updated annually and has consistently included widely known names such as Ebola, Zika and SARS (e.g., cause of large-scale infections), and more geographically specific names such as Lassa fever, Marburg virus, Rift Valley fever, and Nipah virus. In February 2018, after the "2018 R&D Blueprint" meeting in Geneva, the WHO added Disease X to the shortlist as a placeholder for a "knowable unknown" pathogen. The Disease X placeholder acknowledged the potential for a future epidemic that could be caused by an unknown pathogen, and by its inclusion, challenged the WHO to ensure their planning and capabilities were flexible enough to adapt to such an event.
