The police will test her for drugs, if she tests positive she has a problem.

Posted in: COVID has taken severe mental health toll: WHO See in context

COVID-19 has negligible effect on mental health, it is the constant stream of fear based propaganda and economic damage which has caused anxiety and depression If you are a supporter of restrictions on people's lives you share this blame.

After two years most people know these policies are a failed experiment. Problem is policticians and unelected "experts" have invested their reputations in this failure.

The constant hectoring by the rail network is irritating to say the least, endless anouncements telling you the escalator is dangerous, telling you where to stand, how to sit, not to speak, not to use your phone, that the corona virus is waiting to pounce on you. The net result is low level stress and thoughtless compliance. Also noted is the abnormalization of masks.

As a rule of thumb if you go drinking in Tokyo take as much cash as you intend to spend and leave your cards at home.

Yup, rinse and repeat. There is now a direct conduit from central banks to pharma companies and we are on the hook for the bill, what's not to like?

The mask comes off when you decide to take it off, it is a personal decision. Nobody is going to give you permission to return to a properly oxygenated brain, you need to do that for yourself.

Basically this never ends, we will be wearing masks, being injected and showing documentation for the rest of our lives. Getting sick is part of life, the question is what kind of life?

So either he is lying or she is, either way it doesn't sound like the security vetting for the staff at the venue was particularly good. Lots of VIPs, poor vetting, and a lot of angry people, what could possibly go wrong ?

Posted in: We will be unable to control infections if more businesses decide they can do whatever they want. See in context

The NHS in the UK found that FFP3 masks cut Covid infection significantly for nurses dealing with Covid patients. Other masks are far less effective. However you cannot wear a FFP3 mask for more than 60 minutes, if you do you are going to damage your health. Most masks are completely useless after 20 minutes when they become saturated by the moisture from your breath.

Wearing masks outside of a clinical setting is damaging to mental and physical health for very little or no benefit. The negative effects of starving the brain of oxygen are already becoming apparent, as evidenced by the lack of clear rational thought that leads people to wear masks outdoors. Other symptoms of mask wearing include passivity, gullibility, illogical behavior and compliance with pointless rules.

Expect a sharp increase in early onset dementia over the next few years. The effect on small children will also be profoundly damaging. The most obvious short term damage will be a rise in cases of heatstroke in July, August and September.

Considering 3.5 million people pass through Shinjuku station every weekday these numbers are nothing. Sorry to disappoint the gloomsters but the Olympics aren't going to cause an increase in corona cases, they are however a total waste of tax payers' money.
