France
As the Trends Journal has reported, French President Emmanuel Macron has faced tough criticism over his handling of the coronavirus outbreak and will likely face a challenge by Marine Le Pen, the populist leader.
On 30 March, the Trends Journal published the article, “FRANCE, GERMANY, UK, DENMARK, CANADA: UPDATES,” which mentions the criticism Macron faced in fighting the COVID War and his comment that there “won’t be a mea culpa from me.”
Last Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Macron joined Prime Minister Jean Castex for espresso outside a restaurant for a photo op, which Macron called “a little moment of recovered freedom.”
The paper said the day marked a momentous occasion and was the first time in six months that residents in Paris were able to sit down outside a restaurant to indulge in a croissant or glass of vin. Indoor dining is still banned.
The BBC reported that as of Wednesday, groups of up to six are permitted to eat together outdoors at a restaurant, and the country’s curfew was pushed back from 7 PM to 10 PM.
TRENDPOST: As we said when the COVID War was launched, and as the evidence from mask-wearing, social distancing, outdoor gatherings, and surface sanitizing proves, “They’re making this crap up.” Over and over, we have detailed the lack of scientific evidence to support the draconian measures imposed on people and the inaccuracy of data when provided.
For example, absent from the Presstitutes reporting are the simple questions:
- Does the virus come out at precisely 10 P.M.?
- You can go spend your money in an essential big box store flooded with customers, but why can’t you eat inside a restaurant?
Taiwan
At the same time some countries are beginning to emerge from the COVID War, Taiwan is gearing up for battle.
With a population of 23.5 million, the lockdown pressure came when the country recorded 1,200 new cases last week. They blame the rise in cases on complacency and spread through “tea houses” (adult entertainment venues).
TRENDPOST: Since the COVID War began 18 months ago, of its 23,855,252 citizens, the grand total of 29 Taiwanese died of the virus or 0.000122 percent of the population… or just 0.0000076 percent per month over the past 16 months. (If, for example, that monthly death-rate percentage were applied to the U.S. population, it would be the grand total of just virus 25 deaths a month).
Yet, government dictators choose to impose COVID rules citizens must obey that destroy the lives of tens of millions.
Making up the numbers, as others do, and without providing a scintilla of scientific evidence to support their mandates, cinemas and other entertainment venues have been shut down, and family get-togethers are limited to five people and ten outdoors. Taipei’s government has ordered bars, nightclubs, and similar venues to shut down.
Again, selling fear and hysteria and ignoring the hard fact that just 29 people died of the virus over 16 months, in a statement, National Taiwan University decreed, “As COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc, please be reminded to wear a mask at all times when you go out, wash hands frequently, and keep appropriate social distancing.”
TREND FORECAST: With just 14 percent of Taiwan’s population haven taken one shot, the two-jab percentage in single digits, and the COVID death rate minuscule, we forecast the government is imposing lockdown mandates to increase the country’s low vaccination rate. This is similar to what governments are doing in other lockdown nations such Australia, Nova Scotia, Hong Kong, etc., which have negligible virus death rates per population.
