Say whaaaaa? (very strange the way you athiest guys shoehorn religion into every one of their posts, reckon they're just curious for advice in these troubling times).

But you do of course realise than in the coming weeks across Ire & the uk (and many other states), test and trace programs will require you to scan a QR codes before entering public places. It's pretty simple concept and process to grasp, see China for a very good example.

So... after scanning the QRcode you will be prompted to enter your personal details for 21 day db storage. E.g. If you're a hipster cafe in Landan, make and print out your poster now, there is less than 2weeks to do this: https://www.gov.uk/create-coronavirus-qr-poster

That's a lie, I live in the UK, Most bars/restaurants etc do have Q.R codes up already and you CAN scan them if you wish, No one forces you to though, you will not be refused service if you refuse.

Why is the reviewer a "random conspiracy loon"? Is anyone who doesn't believe that this is the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu a "conspiracy loon", in your opinion?

Most reviews seem generally positive about the book. Then there is a clear sub-section of "loon" reviews by conspiracy theorists and anti-globalists

for example:

strange how all the reviews have the same robotized drone line/comment ill leave you to figure that out, wonder if it will mention the populous being culled using "the flu shot" well you can shove ya vaccinations up ya poo chute, between the urine takers who wrote this and the likes of that cnut who owns micro$oft with his African vacine test experiment, this should be an alarming wake up for the ones who don't know they don't know but unfortunately its a case of if ninimb then they will roll over and go back to sleep, pay attention to putin and trump they appear to e anti agenda 2025, research the Bilderberg's , still think conspiracy theorists or a phrase i prefer critical thinkers are still tinfoil hatters? go on go and search for a cheap 5g contract and go back asleep.

The Great Reset of structure within society. The 100+ year old plan to bring in a New World Order and the 1000 years of peace mentioned in the Bible.

I used it to keep my dog entertained, opened the book having read all the robot like reviews praising it and it scared the life out of me to think people actual have ideas like this and wish to inflict them on humanity! Climate change is also a hoax

Loony stuff, most of these aren't even book reviews, they are conspiracy rants. Unfortunately certain books and publications pull these types of people out of the woodwork. Write a solid scientific book about climate change? you'll get climate change hoaxers "reviewing" it.

But the positive reviews do look suspicious.

To you

But the one review that quotes directly from the book is rubbish for some reason

That one reviewer is clearly some conspiracy loon, their first line literally gives it away. These types of people typically always use selective and out of context quotes, for example

"2) The author is also totally in love with the concept of mass surveillance. He writes:
"The containment of the coronavirus pandemic will necessitate a global surveillance network" (p.33)"

Ooohh sounds scary to you right? but what's the context. I haven't read the book, but I would wager a lot of money that the author is referring to surveillance of the disease, it's spread, etc.

And this "reviewer" does it again

"Contact tracing and tracking are therefore essential components of our public-health response to Covid-19"

We use contact tracing and tracking to find people who may have been in contact with someone who had Covid-19, it's a normal common sense procedure. Yet he's trying to maliciously conflate it with the "mass surveillance" boogeyman

His entire review just does that repeatedly.

Again, I haven't read the book, but this "reviewer" is just twisting stuff to fit some narrative he already had in his head. You could probably do the same with a high-school economics book, make it sound like "New World order manifesto" with enough creative quoting.

The paragraph with 2)

A pandemic is a complex adaptive system comprising many different components or pieces of information (as diverse as biology or psychology), whose behaviour is influenced by such variables as the role of companies, economic policies, government intervention, healthcare politics or national governance. For this reason, it can and should be viewed as a “living network” that adapts to changing conditions – not something set in stone, but a system of interactions that is both complex and adaptive. It is complex because it represents a “cat’s cradle” of interdependence and interconnections from which it stems, and adaptive in the sense that its “behaviour” is driven by interactions between nodes (the organizations, the people – us!) that can become confused and “unruly” in times of stress (Will we adjust to the norms of confinement? Will a majority of us – or not – abide by the rules? etc.). The management (the containment, in this particular case) of a complex adaptive system requires continuous real-time but ever-changing collaboration between a vast array of disciplines, and between different fields within these disciplines. Just to provide a broad and oversimplified example, the containment of the coronavirus pandemic will necessitate a global surveillance network capable of identifying new outbreaks as soon as they arise, laboratories in multiple locations around the world that can rapidly analyse new viral strains and develop effective treatments, large IT infrastructures so that communities can prepare and react effectively, appropriate and coordinated policy mechanisms to efficiently implement the decisions once they are made, and so on. The important point is this: each separate activity by itself is necessary to address the pandemic but is insufficient if not considered in conjunction with the others. It follows that this complex adaptive system is greater than the sum of its parts. Its effectiveness depends on how well it works as a whole, and it is only as strong as its weakest link.

Thanks

But did you read the review? What about the quotes from the book? Are they not horrifying?

Yes.
What about them?
No.

I don't know what he means by that. Why would smelling fruit become a thing of the past?

If you don't know what it means, then why are you scared of it?

I know what it means.

Think, see if you can figure out what it means (clue: we're in a pandemic, germs)

Yes, but he's saying that post-pandemic people won't do it. It all points to wanting to control what people do.

Yeah and people might not do these things so much in the future, shaking hands might become a thing of the past, likewise squeezing bread or feeling fruit in supermarkets. Its down to people changing their habits.

People in this country used to spit all the time, but after large bouts of tuberculosis, and common sense advice, that died down

You seem to have this bizarre personal belief that there is some shadowy force trying to "control people" just for the sake of it. If that's true, then explain why this shadowy force wants people to stop feeling fruit in supermarkets? what sense does that make? You seem to be scared of your own interpretation of stuff

Thank you. That makes sense. I'm overthinking things, but the words 'Great Reset' frighten me for some reason.

the list of things that frighten and disturb you seems quite long and growing.

But I think it's reasonable to be disturbed about the UN getting a choir to sing "a new world order behind closed doors", one of the most power men on the planet to smile after saying the next pandemic would get people's attention (if you think this one is bad you ain't seen nothing yet), the powerful WEF to be talking about resetting the planet, not to mention Lockstep in the Rockefeller Report predicting to a tee what's going on now, and Event 201 predicting to a tee what's going on now. And the reaction to a virus with a 99.9% survival rate (muzzles, abandoning the handshake to bump elbows instead, talk of health passports, and a possible mandatory vaccine) is so disproportionate to suggest that something is going on. I don't know what, but all of the things I mentioned above are, in my opinion, a cause for concern. And I think most reasonable people would find the idea of resetting the planet to be a bit concerning.

you keep repeating it though it is not true. Event 201 predicted 65M deaths. have we had 65M deaths?

Yes, it means that after the pandemic there maybe be a new order in the world in terms of approaches to pandemics, economics, everything. Which is normal. When we had the e.g. 2008 financial crisis, it was a huge crisis and it changed a lot of things. The world changes and adapts a lot, just compare yourself now to your grandparents time - it doesn't automatically mean it's "scary" or "nefarious"

one of the most power men on the planet to smile after saying the next pandemic would get people's attention (if you think this one is bad you ain't seen nothing yet),

He is at interviews all day long. I had a very serious meeting at work last year and the head of department and another director were smiling a lot because they had spent all night on the project and had private jokes. It doesn't mean they were part of some inside job.

And yes, the next pandemic could be much worse. It's important to remember that this one, whilst very contagious, in terms of death rate - it's quite "mild". We could have a far more dangerous one, and it's critical to remind the world of this so we don't slack off after this one

the powerful WEF to be talking about resetting the planet,

Nope they are talking about changes that are occurring because of the pandemic. The world's economy was essentially put on pause for months - that hasn't happened much before, so naturally it changes things a bit. A lot of airlines, hostels, restaurants, etc, etc going out of business is a "reset" for those sectors.

You are taking the word literally and becoming scared of what you imagine

not to mention Lockstep in the Rockefeller Report predicting to a tee what's going on now, and Event 201 predicting to a tee what's going on now.

This isn't a part of some "plan" or "conspiracy", there are people who love that stuff and fill the internet with their fantasies about it. It's a contagious virus, we've had them in the past, this one is quite prominent. Thankfully it doesn't have a high fatality rate. Yes it is concerning, but we are gradually reducing it thanks to masks, social distancing, hand-washing, medical information, etc

And the reaction to a virus with a 99.9% survival rate (muzzles, abandoning the handshake to bump elbows instead, talk of health passports, and a possible mandatory vaccine)

Muzzles? when you cough you spread tiny droplets, the virus is believed to exist on these droplets and can spread to others. A mask helps curb or stop that so it only makes sense to wear a mask. Shaking someone else's hand helps spread the virus, is it essential? nope, so we stop doing it and use something else instead (the elbow bump seems to be popular). Again common sense. Health passports? yup, these might be a thing to stop the spread of the virus from one country to another. Again, a totally common sense solution.

Mandatory vaccine? No. There is a group of internet anti-vaxxers and fantasists obsessed for the last 2 decades at least that some "powers that be" are going to force vaccines on people. It hasn't happened yet. However, Germany and Australia have toyed with the idea, why? because anti-vaxx lunatics are causing infectious diseases (like measles) to make a comeback - which makes health professionals think "hey, these people are idiots, we might have to make them get vaccines for their own protection".

Again, the issue is stupid people, not the vaccines themselves.
