Some of us do know about the Bubonic Plague, but we are the few who don't shoot off our mouths before finding out about things - not the sort who take a political stance on everything and disagree on principle with people they don't like.

As long as politicians and their urgers keep insisting on growth at any cost, mass immigration, globalisation and multiculturalism, Australia is 'in the market' for any plague or disease going - accidentally - or deliberately, as some believe the China virus is.

It brings up reminders from History lessons at school about the plague.

"BRING OUT YOUR DEAD !"

I doubt they would show that to today's snowflake kiddies.
They would be more likely to tell them to change their sex.

the most deadly plague today is the dumbing down of our institutions and kids. They are taught we can change the climate and now the stupidity of keeping healthy people locked down for a bad flu. As it says in Romans 1, God has handed those stupid enough to deny creation over to their foolishness. Reason and rationale have been cancelled along with other culture that produced the environments that were the envy of the world. Stupidity is here to stay as long as we allow the lying left media and the immoral 'elite' to dominate Government and media.

Parallel lessons for today:

1. Don't hang around wet markets full of rats in China "from where it was carried by ships around the world"

Princess cruise ships visiting China anyone...?

and

2. With plague around for 1,000+ years, just shows "herd immunity" isn't a reliable "cure".

Yes, but. Repeated exposure did grant some herd immunity? And such immunity seems to have been passed on down genetically? And interestingly, made those with this genetic transfer? More immune to other nasty pathogens? But able to carry them without seemingly affected very much while infecting countless others, who were not so genetically endowed?

Fortunately, the plague was carried by and spread by rats. And we seem to have been able to eliminate the plague by eliminating the resident rat populations?

No such luck with extremely contagious covid-19, an spread by self-indulgent, non-compliant, selfish individuals who put self-interest ahead of collateral damage!

just too dumb to understand, that a healthy economy, is only as healthy as the resident population. And while we might have been able to soldier on with the flu? And not kill anyone? No such luck with covid-19!

Albeit, some folk clearly think that's not an issue!

As to the economy and the debt burden? Some economists seem to believe, all we need do is print money, then use that same non borrowed money to build income-earning infrastructure tha then becomes an increasingly valuable asset that offsets the issue?

And probably worth trying given by all accounts this very (social credit) approach has worked successfully elsewhere?

Cooperative capitalism that eliminates the necessity of foreign capital/debt, foreign owners and foreign tax avoidance along with foreign profit repatriation?
