You have pingitis! Be afraid, be very afraid!
We have a new ‘disease’! It’s called ‘pingitis’. It has now become a ‘pingdemic’. Depending on you reading preferences the numbers of those pinged vary from a coy ‘huge numbers of staff’ in the DT to ‘500,000 pinged’ in The Times to a truly enormous ‘900,000 alerts’ in the DM.
This morning we learn that people have been pinged who hadn’t even been out that day because the NHS app even pings through party walls. We learn that pingitis is affecting the NHS, that rubbish isn’t collected in some local areas, that guests in hotels in Cornwall are being asked to help clean the premises – they’re getting a £15 voucher per day for that -, that factories like Rolls-Royce and Nissan are ‘on the verge of shutting down’ and that Trade Union leaders demand that something must be done (paywalled link).
What is going on? According to government sources, lovingly reported in the MSM, this is all due to the bluetooth facility in the NHS App being ‘too strong’ and thus picking up all those contacts even through walls:
“That is understood to have been raised as a concern in the initial stages of building the technology – now being reviewed amid concerns it is too sensitive – although Whitehall sources said on Thursday that any changes would not be made for some weeks.” (paywalled link)
The covid government is clearly not taking this seriously because those ‘changes’ won’t come before the middle of next month. Perhaps all those who should work on those changes have also caught pingitis and are self-isolating?
There are some questions which should be asked – by Trade Unions, by factory CEOs, by local councils and not least by all those fabulous ‘health and science’ correspondents. For example: why has this pingdemic taken off in the last couple of weeks but not before? After all, if pings can go through walls this should’ve been noticed before, no?
A cynical observer might think that this is a ploy by the covid dictators to force people into demanding the ‘solution’ which Gove ‘trialled’ when he came back from Portugal a few weeks ago, having duly been pinged. He simply took a PCR test after two days and was ‘released’.
Might the pingdemic simply be used by the SAGEs to herd people into getting more PCR tests? Never mind that ‘more tests’ equals ‘more case numbers’! After all, haven’t our SAGEs let us know their alarms about that ‘Freedom Day’ coming too soon and driving up yet another ‘wave’? A ‘wave’ which must be shown to happen, by more tests?
Another question not asked is: why didn’t we have a pingdemic before? The NHS app developers knew about this ‘strong bluetooth signal’ – so, were people not pinged properly? For example during the ‘wave’ at the beginning of this year? After all, case numbers were rising but, even though we were locked down, those who kept the country going during that time, the shop assistants and rubbish collectors surely must have been pinged during that time?
No answers to be had anywhere as of yet. Perhaps the ‘health and science’ correspondents are working on articles for the weekend editions! Meanwhile comment posters below all those pingitis articles are practically unanimous in their advice: switch the thing off or better, uninstall it.
The Times has dedicated one of their ‘analyses’ to the ping-issue. After explaining in loving detail how anonymous these apps are, that no data are collected (yes, I too am still believing in Father Christmas), they write:
“the app is voluntary to download, free to delete at any time, and there is no legal requirement to adhere to it if you get an alert — and no one would know if you didn’t. This is in contrast to testing positive for Covid or being told to isolate by an NHS Test and Trace official where there is a legal requirement to do so. The app is designed to protect people and self-isolating after getting an alert may be the best way to prevent more members of the public getting Covid.” (link, paywalled)
Ah. So there are two apps – but how do we know which one causes pingitis? The next explanation shows that even the mighty minds of those health correspondents are somewhat confused:
“Do I need to keep self-isolating if I have received a negative Covid-19 test result? The app guidelines say you should still isolate for ten days when pinged, even if you test negative for Covid-19 as you could still get symptoms after being tested. Again, there is no way of authorities knowing whether you have complied with this and no legal requirement to do so.” (link, paywalled)
So ‘the authorities’ have no way of knowing if you’ve tested -ve but do know if you tested +ve? Interesting! Perhaps the pingdemic is simply the result of large numbers of people being terrified out of their minds, doing as they’re told by an app? It wouldn’t surprise me one bit!
Meanwhile here’s a new conundrum. We read in Lockdown sceptics that, according to data presented by Professor Spector who runs the ZOE data collection,
“symptomatic infections in the unvaccinated have been dropping since the start of the month, whereas those in the vaccinated (with at least one dose) continue to surge – though are perhaps slowing towards a peak now.” (link)
Now isn’t that … interesting! How can it be that the unjabbed are no longer catching covid but the vaccinated ones do? Read the whole thing – it might have something to do with that ‘horror’ called ‘herd immunity’ in the non-jabbed.
There’s another interesting phenomenon, this time observed in Israel which was the front runner in jabbing their population with the Pfizer jab:
“With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID. By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.” (link)
Yes, these are small numbers, but surely our covid researchers ought to ask if such disparity might be found here in the UK? Moreover, doesn’t this at least raise the question about the usefulness of all those jabs and if a ‘booster jab’ even makes sense.
Our SAGEs however prefer to look at which jab people received, the ‘experts’ being from Imperial College London – the place which brought forth Professor ‘Lockdown’ Ferguson. They found that:
“Britons double-jabbed with the AstraZeneca vaccine may be three times more likely to get symptoms of the virus than those who got Pfizer and Moderna, according to SAGE figures. Scientists at Imperial College London estimate two doses of AstraZeneca’s jab is 55 per cent effective at blocking symptoms of the Indian ‘Delta’ variant. But the efficacy figure for two doses of either Pfizer or Moderna is thought to be in the region of 85 per cent, they say.” (link)
‘Tis strange though when one recalls that the Israelis used the Pfizer jab for practically everyone. Of course, it would be totally appalling were I to remind myself that Profs Vallance and Whitty are alleged to have some sort connections with Pfizer – financial ones, allegedly.
I leave you with a remark by Professor Spector who explained to Lockdown Sceptics that the main worry now must be about ‘Long Covid’ (link). Now there’s scary! Especially since the ever helpful Times has just reported that:
“Long Covid has more than 200 symptoms that affect ten organs, the largest international study of “long haulers” suggests. British health experts are calling for a nationwide screening programme to help identify the condition in people who may be suffering in silence. The study, led by University College London (UCL), has identified 203 symptoms of long Covid affecting the organs, with 66 lasting up to seven months.” (link, paywalled)
‘Suffering in silence’, is it? I recall acres of pixels having been dedicated to ‘Long Covid’, for a year. But of course we need more screening! Another nice little earner for the covid ‘experts’ who might run out of funds or become unemployed should the waves of ‘covid casedemics’ turn out to be no worse than the pingdemic created by pingitis.
Is it the aim of the SAGEs to turn us into a nation of hypochondriac skivers? Perhaps someone ought to have a word with Rishi Washi who will ultimately have to distribute our money …
If you caught pingitis it’s your own fault, for being a good little covid lemming. So my non-medical advice is: ditch your smartphones – and if you can’t do that, at least ditch the NHS apps and refrain from getting tested. Life can be so easy!
KBO!
So any side effects from the Vax are actually the effects of Long Covid! – Meanwhile can we introduce a ‘Dr Mengele Bank Holiday Monday’ now that experimental medication is to be enforced.
Slightly off topic. I received an email from NHS Digital today confirming my paper request not to share my medical records with anyone who is not involved in my direct care so that worked. Unfortunately it only applies to England not Wales (where I live). No joined up thinking whatsoever. The app is a scam that fits in nicely with the scamdemic so no surprises there. A family member and his girlfriend, both key workers in different fields, were pinged but tested negative. No matter, told to isolate. They had two more tests both negative but still were not given the all-clear! Out of the blue, half way through their self-isolation, they were contacted to ignore the app and go back to work everything was fine. No rhyme or reason just abject stupidity.
Cor! Professors seem to be two a penny, just like the blacks you see in tv adds these days
Trouble spots all over the world. Here are just a few of them.
I’ve just been talking to a GREEN !! Well actually I bullied the poor guy! He was delivering leaflets and came to hand one to me because I smiled at him. He looked like my kind of person you see. Then I remembered from a previous occasion.
Anyway when I declined his leaflet I said I’d been a Ukip supporter so was anti all the parties that frustrated brexit. Then I mentioned the Covid Dictatorship and before that the global warming scam. He thought of blaming N.H.S. for covid dictatorship but by common assent we settled on Global Warming.
He agreed about 800 years ago in Iceland and 2000 years ago Romans growing grapes in Yorkshire but still harked back to population increase and industrial revolution.
So I shifted to cyclical fluctuations and if there was an increase it was miniscule.
I then talked about CO2 not being a harmful gas and all life depending on it. He agreed about photosynthesis and because I’d said grass was more useful than trees, half of which were deciduous, he had to talk about the Amazon rainforest.
Well It’s no good, let’s face it I care about My Country first so I said why try to run Britain on sun and wind while China was burning far more fossil fuels than us. Oh well China was building wind farms too!
But he definitely gave in at that point. We had agreed that the two main Parties were not fit for purpose.
Did I do any good?
“203 symptoms of long Covid affecting the organs, with 66 lasting up to seven months.” Only 203? Have they seen VAERS lately? And far from being ‘the main worry,’ it is trivial to anyone who actually knows what is going on.
A recently published Japansese study showed that the nano-lipid particles, that coat the mRNA core of the jab to stop the body instantly destroying it as a foreign protein, migrate very rapidly all over the body, especially to places like the brain and kidneys that are rich in blood vessels, but with the highest concentration in the ovaries, testes and the endometrium. The latter could explain the increasing number of post-menopausal women bleeding again, and the first two could cause infertility, and not just for seven months. No one actually knows because the necessary trials have not been done, and are not going to be done. And this is the stuff they want to put into our children.
Big Pharma is the most heavily litigated industry in the world, with a long history of wreaking widespread human damage through faulty(?) products (but they managed to get exemption for these products) and the jab narrative is being pushed by some of the most dubious (to put it mildly) politicians and oligarchs in the world. What could go possibly wrong?
Phil, I do agree that the nano-lipid particles are another worrying feature of the jabs.
There are so many evil things going on now and for those intent on imposing the ‘New Normal’ the Jabs have ‘No downside’.
Now that we know it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the app, and I hesitate to posit this as we know there is absolutely zero malpractice, zero chicanery and manipulation, zero fiddling of statistics, and that SAGE absolutely has OUR best interests at heart rather than their own financial and ideological ones, but is it the teensiest-weensiest bit paranoid to suggest that just possibly someone turned UP the sensitivity to create a wave of new fear that could be used as one more lever to keep us in prison?
Complete tosh – you’ll be suggesting that they have upped the PCR test to 45 cycles again next.
Trying to be clever (or maybe it is just sneering) gets none of us anywhere, unless it makes you feel better.
I was simply wondering. I notice you didn’t say it wasn’t possible. There is pretty much nothing true they tell us on any aspect of this sham: on the virus, the jab the known-to-be-useless and damaging countermeasures, and it is just so convenient as they cast around for anything and everything with which to maintain the faux state of emergency. If they can turn it down; why not up? Explain why that possibility is tosh and I will thank you and add it to my list of facts.
The PCR test is utterly meaningless anyway, according to the guy who invented it, and many ‘knowledgeable dangerous heretics’. They can always institute surge testing to produce another uptick in cases when necessary.
I think Jim forgot to add ” /sarc” to his comment.
Surely no one with any common sense would install the NHS app? I guess far too many are trusting of government and, in particular, the NHS.
Quite Jack. I was going to refer to ‘The British Way of Life’ which always used to include common sense!
By way of illustration, a quick search on this laptop to find nearby Bluetooth devices discovers four that aren’t mine, two of which advertise themselves as “low energy” Bluetooth which are supposedly intended for short range use.
And this is in a 1930s property with solid brick walls – goodness knows what you’d find in a modern block of flats where partitions are made of two layers of plasterboard with a bit of rockwool stuffed in between.
Thanks Snotsicle. Not that I understand the technology but this bluetooth whateveritis has been around for a long time. It was ‘offered’ on my very old, very not smart, mobile phone.
The vaccines instruct cells to make spike proteins. The immune system attacks the spike proteins and is trained to detect Cv19. If the test is sensitive – perhaps overly sensitive after too many cycles – then could it be detecting remnants of the process in a small proportion of the vaccinated?
If so people may be pinged because they have had the vaccine.

Julian. That went through my mind. Added to which – I wondered whether that was the actual intention of the vaccines.
The longer the Scamdemic can be prolonged the more money can be made from it.
Worse than that though, the longer it goes on the more damage it does to our whole way of life.
Pauline,your last sentence sums it up. That is the plan.
The “New Normal”…
There is only ONE Nation… The State.
There is only ONE Religion… The State.
There is only ONE Family…The State.
… and if you dissent, you will be taken away and “Re-educated”
