WaPo editorial on the Lancet Commission Report makes it easy to see the limited hangout

“The
ability of the public health system to identify cases, trace contacts,
and isolate infected individuals can be overwhelmed in just a few weeks
of uncontrolled community transmission,” the report says.

Right,
so you stop doing contact tracing when you know if doesn’t work.
Instead, contact tracing was started after it was known to have had no
chance of success. Because it was another surveillance tool being
prototyped.—Nass

“National responses were often improvisational, occasionally bordering on the absurd,” the commission states.

Right, and this ‘revelation’ should be called out loudly, but was buried.

Governments
“showed themselves to be untrustworthy and ineffective,” and “rancor
among the major powers” then “gravely weakened the capacity of
international institutions” to respond, especially the World Health Organization,
which comes in for sharp criticism for repeatedly erring “on the side
of reserve rather than boldness.” The panel calls for strengthening the
WHO and giving it stronger powers and more solid financing.

The
WHO criticism for not being bolder (WHAT?!!) is meant to add juice to
the tale of this report, so that it gets more eyeballs. Admitting
governments lied is meant to engender trust in the reader.

Another
lesson is that a failure to grasp the viral transmission route led to
cascading — and costly — miscalculations. Early in the outbreak, the
commission states, “health authorities concentrated almost exclusively
on spray transmission,” the idea that the virus is disseminated when
people exhale droplets that fall by gravity after a distance of one or
two meters. This led to emphasis on six feet of social distancing,
extensive cleaning of surfaces and hand-washing. In fact, the virus was
spreading in respiratory aerosols, microscopic particles that stay
suspended in the air, not unlike cigarette smoke. Failure to focus more
on this airborne route at the outset had serious consequences: “The use
of face coverings, ventilation, and air filtration as effective risk
reduction measures were not adequately encouraged,” the report says. The
incorrect assumptions enabled the virus to spread “almost unabated, for
months.”

There was no failure to grasp that the
virus spreads by the airborne route. There was suppression of this
knowledge at a planetary level. Had it been acknowledged, the plan to
allow big box stores to remain open would have failed. Shutting down
Main Street, where small, older stores had potentially better
ventilation, could not be allowed. Remember that vulture capitalism
requires winners and losers, who were chosen beforehand. Makeshift face
masks did no good at all and probably caused harm. Now everyone knows
that cloth masks don’t work—but they think face coverings that look like
surgical masks do. Except there is no difference between the two types
of masks. Neither works for airborne spread.

Oddly, the commission report skims over the fact that China’s leadership hid from the public
the virus’s human-to-human transmissibility in the first three weeks of
January 2020 — a dire mistake that allowed it to spread.

Because to get to the one world government no serious finger pointing is allowed.
