But my focus is now on the PCC: the Post-Coronavirus Consensus. This will take some time away from immediate issues to develop thoughts upon. I’ll be sharing them here as they emerge, I promise you,
This meaning thew general agreement on the future that no one else is involved in creating nor even aware of, rather tablets pressed and stamped from an end terrace in Ely?
Spud’s blog conjures up images of a deranged man sat explaining how important he is to an audience of broken dolls he’s carefully arranged around himself as an audience.
It’s the consensus of the many voices in his head.
@ Andrew C. Is this what you were thinking of?

I was imagining him sitting there with Play School’s Big Ted, Little Ted, Hamble, Jemima and Humpty. Their heads and full of sawdust and cotton wool, but I still reckon Humpty and the Teds would best him on economics and Hamble and Jemima would trounce him on accounting.
I was thinking Adrian Mole
Anna, I bet Big Ted would beat him at arm-wrestling
I wonder if Peason and Fotherington-Thomas (he is a weed) are involved. Capt Potato ought to be Grabber but I suspect he would not win the Mrs Joyful prize for rafia work
Tablets? I imagine it more along the lines of a Joseph Smith, or L.Ron.Hubbard.
May I recommend Saltaire brewery and their Best bitter, bottled version, Morrisons. A lovely drop. 4.4 per cent alcohol per volume.

I caught something on the BBC that they are putting a radio program/series together talking to experts on what they think will happen after the pandemic has subsided.
Looks like he’s auditioning.
We can be sure he hasn’t been approached because that would have been front and centre for weeks.
Our friends and allies in Finland think Boris got what he ordered. First they say he is a nazi, fascist, bringing a totalitarian society upon us. Now they say he failed because he wasn’t any of that, apparently, I suppose. I guess he was too liberal.
I’m listening to Milestones. Some modal wankery there already, I can hear it. In other news, in Finland they have cut off Greater Helsinki, the army is helping the police with road blocks.
Boris is such a Nazi, such a fascist, in cohorts with Trump – totalitarism here we come.
Horace Silver, Song formy Father. No modality. Such bliss.
Jussi – crumbs! Milestones is a brilliant LP with one of the best Miles line-ups ever and if you want Horace Silver with modal “influences” try ‘Safari’ from the album with Art Blakey. You might need more (or possibly less) of your 4.4% abv stimulant to enjoy either to the full.
Bison, I like Grant Green, I like Lee Morgan, I don’t get modal when it gets too heavy, nor avant garde or free jazz. I guess my sweet spot is 1956/58 to 1963/65. I think Cannonball Adderleys Somethin’ Else is basically a Miles Davis record, I used to have a very a early pressing. My aunt was working in NYC around 1963/64 and she would send my mother loads of LP’s, all of them lost now.

I think the consensus will probably be something akin to not letting in so many people through the borders in future, but I doubt very much that’s what being considered here.
@Jussi
Yep, the doomsters out in force
Ignore the self-publicists, nobody has been ‘vindicated’ by coronavirus
Gov’t advisor admits Covid-19 models were wrong and too apocalyptic
“- Professor Neil Ferguson, who is recovering at home from Covid-19, told the Science and Technology Committee that experts were now expecting around 20,000 deaths, although said it may turn out to be a lot less.
– But he said that many of those deaths were likely to be old and seriously ill people who would have died from other conditions before the end of the year
This is the very man, the man from Imperial College, who said there would be 410 000 to 550 000 UK deaths (and 2.2 million in the US) if we didn’t bring in all the measures, including five months of total lockdown. A claim based on his own work, and the paper he was lead author on. Now he’s massively changed his tune. Suddenly it’s no big deal”

The man who’s fallen out with everyone who’s had the misfortune to work with him (or even live with him) with an ego the size of a planet contained in a brain the size of a broad bean is now an expert on reaching a consensus? man’s a cretin.
Trump goes one-on-one with Hannity to discuss coronavirus response
– BBC, C4 etc have been airing out of context and re-edited/manipulated clips to discredit Trump

MSM/Left mantra still: “All Trump approved cures/inhibitors bad, ban them and let peeps die so we can blame Trump for deaths and stop him being re-elected”
Trump, like Reagan is right about one thing, don’t count on the Federal Government [or Dems]

– “The predictions of the models don’t match reality”
Models: 550,000 deaths due to CV-19 in UK
Reality: 25,035 deaths ‘with’ CV-19 worldwide at 12:00GMT Friday
Reality: ~1,680 die in UK every day – 1.2 every minute
Media on Thursday stats: 1 CV19 death every 13 minutes – with, not due to. Meanwhile 15 deaths every 13 minutes is normal
End of Global Warming model based scam?
Pcar, the answer to your question is ‘hopefully’, but we need to make sure everybody knows the climate apocalypse is based on the same type of computer models that caused the worlds leaders to drag us into this Covid madness.
They will say ‘It’s not our fault, we only listened to the best scientific advice’ whereas what they did was listened to the advice that suited their agenda, willfully ignoring the scientific advice which did not (similar to the ‘push people towards diesel vehicles because they produce less Co2’ advice, whilst deliberately ignoring the scientists saying it would lead to more deaths due to particulate pollution).
The more deaths from particulate pollution is based on the same kind of nonsense Addolff.
So we’re in the prediction business are we.
OK here goes. The PCC according to Richard will be ….. “I was Right”. He’ll also be the “First” to come to that conclusion.
Jussi – I still have my vinyl copy of Somethin’ Else. Autumn Leaves is probably my favourite track of all time.
Pace
If you dredge through a lot of Ferguson’s evidence, it looks like the best summary is:
From the original paper:
– we predict up to half a million will die if nothing is done
– the best thing to do is as many methods of keeping folk apart as possible
– that should keep the deaths way down
His recent evidence is essentially:
– oooo! It works
That is – how unusual! – the msm concentrated on the 500k deaths.
In reality, he hasn’t changed anything in his predicted outcomes. But his assumptions are still assumptions. And we still need real numbers to replace the assumptions.
A comic gem from the greatest man alive
Even when he’s driving his model trains, he dreams of world domination
Diogenes – perhaps ‘especially’ rather than ‘even’: after all, “Hitler made the trains run on time”.
BiTJ–Some effectively the Great Prognosticator of Unreal Plagues covers all his bases.
Where’s the evidence that it was EVER going to be any more than Flu + and a bad flu year–likely not even the worst.
So not Some. Apologies.
I don’t generally like overarching theories of history but I think the exposure of instutional corruption and overreach, of the power grab by “experts” in concert with media to pedal narratives unsupported by solid facts, takes us to the Fourth Turning whereby everyone loses faith in institutions and authority, a 1989 this time for the postwas consensus in the west.
@Diogenes
Perhaps he has a Gomez Addams type train set.
