Monkey Business

We're one and a half year into the plague, and I suspect the hysteria will last another two years before it ends. This would fit the shortest of the time scales mentioned in the Revelation, and would also correspond to a likely future timeline in which we'll be confronted with increasingly adverse effects to the policies implemented.

After a year with a drop in mortality, we're likely to face two winters with higher mortality. The coming winter will see unusually high numbers of pneumonia. Next up will be heart failures. Additionally, we're likely to see increasing economic hardships.

Something quite unexpected may also transpire. We may be hit by a real plague. Constant talk of the devil has a sad tendency to summon this demon, so when I found this article on Monkeypox in Zerohedge, I decided to give it a read. Turns out, someone contracted this rare disease in Nigeria, and brought it with them to the US.

To properly decipher the article, we need to know a few things about the disease. According to Wikipedia, the disease incubates for about 10 days before there are any symptoms. Rashes don't appear before five days later. The time leading up to a visit to a hospital is in other word about 14 days.

With this in mind, we can note that the Zerohedge article was written on July 17, indicating that the case was discovered a few days earlier. The flight from Nigeria to Atlanta took place on July 8. The most likely timeline is therefore that the man caught the disease around July 1, flew home to the US on July 8, and went to hospital with rashes on July 15.

However, the name of the disease gives associations to 12 Monkeys, an action film centred around a man made epidemic. That may indicate that there's something deliberate about the whole thing, because deliberate scares tend to exploit this kind of associations in order to create as much fear as possible.

There's also something strange about the history of the disease itself. It was first discovered in a bio-lab back in 1958. The name of the disease doesn't reflect a natural origin. Rather, the opposite. The monkeys involved were lab animals. Cases since have spontaneously occurred in west Africa, just like Ebola and Aids.

The disease isn't believed to be very contagious. However, it has a mortality rate close to 10%, and it has tremendous visual impact. It also has a long incubation time. It's the perfect scare. Lockdowns, mask mandates and social distancing can easily be argued for in light of this disease. That would require it to be more transmissible than what it has been so far, but that may well be the case.

Having weakened the population through lockdowns, masks and vaccines, Monkeypox may turn out to be the real plague, enabled through bad policies. However, with only one case currently in the US, we're still a long way from such a scenario. The most likely outcome is that this fizzles away with nothing further reported.
