Covid-19 is one of the family of Coronaviruses. A Coronavirus is a zoonotic virus, so called because it moves from other species to cause disease in humans. Viruses are far, far smaller than bacteria. They range in size from 10 to 200 nanometres, and there are one million nanometres to one millimetre, and 25.4 million nanometres to one inch. So the smallest viruses laid out in a straight line one inch long would number 2.54 million, and the largest 0.127 million. That’s still one hundred and twenty seven thousand viruses to one inch. For the largest viruses.
We have all inhaled Covid-19 by now, and the massive fall in UK deaths from Covid-19 in the summer of 2020 shows that our herd immunity has begun. The so-called “second wave” was the rise in respiratory illnesses that always happens when winter comes. Coronaviruses, like the Influenza viruses, can be fatal if they cause the respiratory crisis of pneumonia.
So what is the point of the lockdowns? The point is to hide the herd immunity that we now have. The low death rate from Covid-19 (and deaths from influenza attributed to Covid-19) will be attributed to any new lockdown, not to our acquired herd immunity. And lockdowns hinder herd immunity, another point in their favour, for those who want to prolong the Covid Terror. (Sweden without lockdowns has a higher herd Immunity than the UK, as shown by more people in Sweden with coronavirus antibodies, a lower Covid death rate, and far less damage to society there from Covid precautions).
Herd immunity must be denied, just like the worth of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with lead sulphate as preventive medicine against Covid-19 had to be denied by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in order to clear the way for drug companies to make profits from their newly patented vaccines against Covid-19. It will matter little if their vaccines are useless, because Covid-19 kills so few now of those few people that show its symptoms anyway, at the most one in twenty five of those who fall ill.
Back in March 2020 Public Health England demoted Covid-19 from its list of HCIDs (High Consequence Infectious Diseases). That demotion got little attention from the MSM. At least PHE recognised that Covid-19 hardly kills anybody in previous good health who is under eighty years old. And of those over 80 that it supposedly has killed, most were care home residents whom the PCR nasal swab test had declared Covid positive. The PCR Test will do that. So they all die “with” Covid, if not “from” Covid, and the government zealously tests the over eighties, knowing that at their age they are likely to provide a plentiful harvest of deaths “with” Covid.
If it were not for the lockdowns it would be obvious that Covid-19 is not an HCID, as PHE admitted back in March 2020. Without the lockdowns people would see that very few die from Covid-19 apart from the aged in care homes and others with dangerous respiratory conditions (asthma, emphysema, heavy smoking etc.) The mass media would be unable to maintain the Covid Terror. But with lockdowns the mass media can claim that without them there would be dead bodies in the streets, with us all staring death in the face. Lockdowns are essential to the media’s Covid Terror campaign.
Thus the lockdowns have to continue, with new Covid variants popping up conveniently from time to time. And the vaccine rollouts are sure to be successful, as well as lucrative for drug companies, when their vaccines have so little to beat. But big profits for Big Pharma are not all that the lockdowns are here for.
Millions of people will be reduced to destitution as the lockdowns bankrupt businesses. With their civil liberties and rights of association destroyed by Covid emergency laws people will be easy prey for exploitation in the future. Government by decree will continue, as workers are ground down by the new global moguls. While the fraud of global warming destroys Western prosperity as well, the Covid Scamdemic is also being used to destroy our civil society.
And where have the new global moguls come from? Some of them are Chinese, as the totalitarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party supplies a Chinese labour force ideal for capitalist exploitation. China is communist in name only, as ownership of capital there is concentrated in the hands of the few families that run the Communist Party. The working poor in China, those outside the charmed circle of the families at the top of the CCP, are subject to electronic surveillance and control, via CCTV and social media, leading to reward or punishment for each citizen through their “social credit” score.
But the new global moguls inside China are not the only plutocrats to have grown rich on the backs of Chinese labour. Since the slaughter in Tiananmen Square in 1989 investment from the West has poured into China to the point where more products for sale in Western shops are made in China than anywhere else. Cheap Chinese labour has made the new global moguls in the West rich.
And the new moguls in the West like what they see in China, and want to run Western countries the Chinese way. But before that can happen civil society in the West with its rights and freedoms must be swept away. Which is why the Covid Terror is here now. California, home of the Silicon Valley zillionaires, as ever sets the trend. There workers already sleep in their cars, unable to afford the rent for a room. The Chinese way is the future that our global moguls prefer. They want tyranny to follow the atomisation of our society by Covid decrees. They want a totalitarian tyranny here, run through cyberspace like China’s. And the Covid Terror is leading us there.

Ralph, I’ve got round to this a little late, apologies. I’m not going to argue with you about the CCP takeover or the incompetent nincompoops in government whose catalogue of failure has led to endless lockdowns and restrictions – to devastating effect for some sectors of the economy.
As a microbiologist though, I have to scratch the itch of correcting scientific errors – excluding the lead sulphate boo boo which someone else beat me to.
1. No, we have not all inhaled Covid-19 by now, especially those who have taken extensive measures to avoid that risk.
2. The drop in rates last summer was not due to herd immunity – it was far too low, possibly even if cross immunity from coronavirus colds is included. If it was, any ‘second wave’ would have been far smaller than it has been.
The real reasons for the drop are:
a) The lockdown (starve an enveloped virus of contacts and it cannot survive )
b) Other hygiene and distancing measures
c) The higher temperatures and THE UV LIGHT FROM THE SUN – which is why all those crowded beaches never led to infections.
3. Yes, coronaviruses in temperate regions are. like flu, seasonal. They survive better in lower temperatures and the reduced UV exposure. And then we are indoors more! Covid-19 is even worse than flu in that respect as, despite the earlier WHO & Gvt cover up, it’s airborne. Not just the droplet transmission that dictates the 2M distancing and the wipedowns but a build up of aerosolised virus from virus shedders in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation – or worse, ventilation which blows it straight at you. It behaves in fact, just like norovirus in that respect.
So – why did Boris and his incompetent nincompoops not plan for a seasonal surge? And with sensible mitigations, not OMG rates are sky high reactive lockdowns?
Hello Helena, as you’re a microbiologist you know more about this stuff than I do. But how can anybody be sure they haven’t inhaled the virus, when viruses are so microscopically tiny? And surely lockdowns will hinder the progress herd immunity, how can they not do? And if there is no pandemic, a lockdown will hide that fact.
Proper, timely containment does the job it should, elimates the circulation of the virus. Then the next challenge is to not readmit it by the back door, or cross channel dinghy. Done properly we should have had no lockdown – or a very short sharp one, maybe with subsequent localised, short circuit breakers. There were countries which managed this and not just those like NZ who don’t have our pop density or international travel hubs. Not only have their economies not been compromised to the same degree but fewer of their people have caught covid or died from it.
If there is no SARS2 virus in the air you breathe, alive or dead, you will not inhale it. Outdoors it disperses well and will not survive long even in winter, unlike some viruses (think Foot and Mouth). Indoors whether or not you inahle will depend on – mask; grade of mask; is anyone present shedding; how many people present are shedding;has anyone who’s shedding been in the space recently; what is the ventilation like. So, you can see from that how the probability of inhaling rises and ranges from low to dangerously high once you go indoors whereas without close contact it’s generally low outside.
Building herd immunity via survival of the fittest (fittest defined as those who, for whatever reason, do not succumb to the virus or successfully hide away from it until there is enough herd immunity to protect them) was once the only option for an out of control contagion. Once understood, containment and quarantines (word derives from the Italian for 40, the 40 days a ship had to wait to come into harbour & disembark in plague times) were the only alternatives.
Thanks to cohorts of wonderful scientists internationally we now have vaccines. Now here’s one for you re herd immunity. The % of vaccinates here in the UK, plus the people who’ve had it & therefore have antibodies and humoral immunity will, may already have, got us close to the required level, especially as there is some pre-existing immunity from cross reacting antibodies cold coronaviruses. The doom mongers are being too cautious, it is time to set us FREE
Helena, as a microbiologist you say : “The doom mongers are being too cautious, it is time to set us FREE”…. But if we’re not set free and the lockdowns continue, then the motive for the lockdowns could be nothing to do with Covid-19, but could be something else entirely.
Which is why UKIP could have steamed ahead under a scientifically trained leader with a health spokesman who could analyse the covid data properly (because she is a microbiologist) If you and your lackeys are NOT following the science – as demonstrated by this evidence here, this data set there, Boris, WTF is your REAL agenda?
I am more and more convinced that the way this COVID stuff has been used has a much deeper purpose than merely ‘protecting’ people from disease! The dystopian life that is being forced down all our throats can have nothing to do with a ‘caring government’!
The Peter Hitchens article in the Mail on Sunday made my blood boil. I remember the way we were able to live when I was young. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that I would end up living in the Communistic world of Eastern Europe that was so graphically portrayed in the media of the times!

Frederick, I’ve just read your Hitchen’s lead and follow the tenor of it
However I was probably of an earlier era than he I.e. During the war years I was between the ages of 5 and 10 and I can confirm that there were no restrictions on any of my play, where and with whom I played or where I desired to go.
In fact my younger brother and I could set off in the morning walk across fields, whether there were paths or not only coming back when hungry.
The only restrictions I encountered were the usual educational and parental discipline ones.
Perhaps there were advantages in being evacuated to the country – I didn’t come back to the town until 1947 and even then I don’t remember any particular restrictions, although playmates seemed to be a rougher lot.
Sorry Frederica it was the good ‘ole projective text wot dun it
Mind you my in attention is no excuse
I’m pleading guilty to writing “without due care and attention”
At the end of the eighth paragraph I wrote ” While the fraud of global warming destroys Western prosperity as well”. I should have said that the fraud of global warming is being used to destroy Western prosperity as well.
Let’s have some facts not conjecture and wishful thinking.
The Swedish myth.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55347021
We thought we had herd immunity last Christmas. Relaxation of lockdown brought on a new peak of cases
Hello, Harry. Today the total Covid deaths in Sweden reached 12,649 from their population of 10.23 million. A death rate of 1 in 809…In the UK the total was 120,757 deaths from 67.61 million people, a death rate of 1 in 560. Put that in your pipe and smoke it !
In the winter deaths from respiratory diseases always rise, and were rising before the Lockdown was lifted for Christmas last year. If that lockdown hadn’t been lifted, the BBC (and you yourself Harry) would have said that the rise in Covid deaths would have been higher without the Lockdown.
NEXT WINTER FLU WORRIES (from the News Review)
“figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) last year revealed that deaths from pneumonia and influenza were seven times below the average 100,000 deaths they cause each year.” The average deaths from Influenza and pneumonia per year is 100,000. Seven times lower than 100,000 is 14,286.
If you turn to the HM government’s official report “COVID-19 confirmed deaths in England (to 31 December 2020). Updated 16 February 2021” it says that in 2020 there was a total of 72,178 deaths from Covid-19 (where death occurred 60 days after a positive test for Covid-19, or Covid-19 was given as the cause on the death certificate).
14,286 plus 72,178 equals 86,464 deaths from Covid-19, influenza & pneumonia combined last year. Which is below the average annual death toll from Influenza & pneumonia, without Covid-19. Well, fancy that!
Ralph perhaps you can answer this question ? These deaths are they actually From Covid or With Covid …..Who’s word do we take for these Stats.?
Bob, presumably the deaths within sixty days of a positive Covid test result are “with” Covid-19. And where the death certificate says Covid is the cause they are “from” Covid-19. The NHS is the primary source for the statistics, the ONS the secondary.
Harry Again, apart from criticising everybody else who deviates from your very narrow view of the world, whether it be Covid 19 strategy or anything else for that matter, do have any solutions yourself to the problems that we face. And I don’t mean repeating or endorsing everything that the chief buffoon at 10, Downing Street comes out with on a daily basis. It is all to easy to criticise others on this site, but how about giving us all the benefit of your massive experience as to how the country should be run. I wonder if you will actually reply, I’m not counting on it………
Fully agree. Thanks Ralph will forward the article to my contacts.
A great article. If only we could get most people to wake up to these realities
Zinc sulphate, not lead sulphate along with HCQ!!!
Oh no, what a clanger !! Thanks for spotting that mistake, Rowland !!
Thank you Ralph for telling it as it is, was and ever will be; government planning to exercise unprecedented control in accordance with the wishes of their globalist chums. I am reminded of another saying of Edmund Burke:
“All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing”. Time for the population at large to waken up before we pass the point of no return which is already too close in my view.
Thank you Ralph Prothero. I agree with most of what you say. There are just too many co-incidences between China, the Scamdemic and it’s effect on the Western Democracies, to doubt that all our liberties and well being are threatened.
