ANY PREMATURE DEATH IS TRAGIC.

Back in the halcyon days when the mysterious Wu Flu was coming into focus, a retirement home worker returned from a trip to her family in, the Phillipines if I recall, and set an infection ramp up through a Sydenham aged care facility, some residents had their time on earth curtailed in minor timing of an approaching death.
It was the stuff of headlines, and the fear porn train left the station.

Today nearly three years on, news of euphemistically termed “Excess Deaths” are seeping through a media intent on keeping such matters out of the public forum.
Back in the annals of the failing Communist disaster unleashed by Lenin and co, based on the scribblings of Marx, Engels and other assorted theocratic intellectuals, Joseph Stalin successor to Lenin was quoted as claiming “one death is a tragedy, a million deaths a statistic.”

Is that where we are in this once great Island Nation?
Locked down for weeks, a few favoured, mainly large commercial operators. allowed unfettered access to shoppers while many small outfits were crucified on a post by mandates and forced closure in a mismanaged reaction at the hands of a bunch of student politicians with nary a modicum of business understanding between them.
I know of at least four suicides by struggling business owners who were tipped over the edge by the inanity of the Government so I am to understand they were tragedies while the exponentially growing death toll from Myocarditis, Kidney failure, returning Cancers. and other fatal ailments being successfully muted by an incompetent media who are dining out on government largess both by way of direct bribes and assorted often superfluous additional advertising revenue streams from compliant state functionaries, are managing to maintain a reasonable blanket silence over the “Excess Deaths” statistics?

The collective failings by almost the entire Mainstream Media will be an interesting study for future scholars, the herd mentality is astounding in it’s culpability.
