The blogmaster is pleased to hear more urgent discussions taking place about agreeing to protocols and logistics to have face to face classes resume between stakeholders. From anecdotal chatter the majority of parents seem supportive of the effort to restart. The one group offering some resistance seems to be the teacher’s unions.
A word to the teachers. This is a risk reward kind of situation. This is a cost benefit kind of situation. There will be a price to pay if the current way of teaching our children continues. There will be a social cost. If the class size is to large, split is and teach each group on alternate days BUT do some rh thing. The virus from all accounts will be with us for the foreseeable future, let us agree (without the long talk) how the physical plant will be changed to mitigate the risks at play.
Time to get on with it!
“NOTE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NZ AUSTRALIA USA AND CANADA, EVEN AS WE SPEAK
STUDY DANIEL 8 AND REVELATION
AND SEE THE CORRELATION OF THE CHARACTERS OF ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES WHO IS A PROTOTYPE OF THE COMING ONE WORLD RULER, REFERRED TO AS THE ANTICHRIST.
IN 1 JOHN THE APOSTLE TELLS US THAT EVEN IN HIS DAY THERE WERE MANY ANTICHRISTS AROUND, JUST AS THERE HAVE BEEN FOR AGES, AND ARE EVEN AROUND TO DAY.”
Are you a superhero or a villain in the Marvel Dr.Strange Multiverse of Madness movie
Lets go back through the heroes and most importantly who preceded them as influencers
Jesus circa 2,000 years ago was preceded by Buddha circa 2,400 years ago who was preceded by Shiva

Each country has its specific problems.
Clearly Brazil is different with its flooding and dense urban populations.
Geography and weather are against them.
Here’s what Martinique and Guadeloupe look like when compared with Brazil.
Except for the spike during their floods they have not done badly and their excess death % fluctuates around zero..
You may remember when France sent medical teams to their departments in the Caribbean to help.

Australia and New Zealand are quite interesting too.
Flooding occurred there and cases rose but compared with Brazil, they have been relatively lucky where excess deaths are concerned.

Denmark when compared with Brazil is even more interesting.
Here’s what the deaths due to COVID looks like.
Two spikes in 2020 and currently on the way up which would appear to be bad.
https://imgur.com/SmDFN8C
Now, here is the excess deaths of the two countries.
You will see that the current excess deaths are not rising as the deaths due to COVID rises.
They are falling like a rock.
And those spikes in COVID deaths in 202, are not apparent in the excess deaths graphs.
This anomaly may or may not be found in other countries.

The other thing to look at is the excess deaths in Denmark are above zero during 2021, the year of the vaccines!!
Your measure of ‘Excess deaths’ is a relative concept that assumes that the pre-covid situation as a baseline.
In case we forget, PRE-Covid, our world was a MESS, racing towards the same chaotic end…. just at a slower pace.
A more meaningful BASE POINT Of REFERENCE would be the STATISTICALLY NORMAL DEATH RATE, so that ‘excess deaths’ could be gauged versus what should be statistically NORMAL.
…and even simple Simon can calculate the statistically normal rate – given the universally accepted average life span and the number of BBs awaiting our turns…
The TRUTH always sets us free….
@Bush Tea
Seems that we need several baselines to satisfy an audience that will never be satisfied. This is the world we live.
Just putting up what’s available.
Check Simple Simon’s site in comment 101 to see how the calculations are done.
Here is Sweden when compared again with Brazil.

@ John
So how are you explaining the relatively common spikes in 2021 across a variety of countries?
Floods…?”
or vaccine rollouts..?
@GP
Are you sure about your timelines…?
Is it not MUCH later that this schedule seem to suggest? Bushie wonders….!!!
INDEED I AM.SIR VERY SURE
I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ON THE TRESHOLD OF THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, WHICH WILL PRECEDE THE RISE OF ANTICHRIST AS CLEARLY TAUGHT IN 2 THESSALONIANS 2; 4FF
DANIEL 2,7 IS THE SAME INFO BASICALLY
CHAPTER 2 GIVES MAN’S PERSPECTIVE
CHAPTER 7 GIVES GOD’S PERSPECTIVE
IN BOTH THERE ARE 4 KINGDOMS, WHICH HAVE ALL COME AND GONE, AND THERE IS ALSO A FIFTH KINGDOM YET TO COME, AND THERE IS A COUNTERFEIT KING TO COME TOO- THE ANTICHRIST
IN CHAP 2 THIS FIFTH KINGDOM IS THAT OF THE STONE WITH OUT HANDS THAT BRINGS THE IMAGE DOWN. BY READING SEVERAL OTHER SCRIPTURES E.G ZECHARIAH 3 ETC THE STONE IS EASILY IDENTIFIED AS CHRIST, CALLED THE SON OF MAN IN CHAPTER 7 V13
IN BOTH CHAPTERS THERE IS ALSO A SINISTER PERSON, IDENTIFIED BY ALL SERIOUS SINCERE SOUND SCHOLARS AS ANTICHRIST.
IN LUKE 24 JESUS HIMSELF TELLS US THAT THE TIME PERIOD THAT BEGAN WITH THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY IS THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES, AND IT RECOUNTS THE TIME LINE FROM THEN TO HIS GLORIOUS APPEARING AT HIS EPIPHANEA. I.E THE SECOND PHASE OF HIS SECOND COMING.
IN CHAP 8 THE DISCUSSION REVOLVES FIRST AROUND A KING WHO WILL ARISE OUT OF THE GREEK KINGDOM AFTER THE DEATH OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.. THIS KING HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES IV.
IN THE SECOND PART OF CHAPTER 8, THE ACCOUNT OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS MAN IS GIVEN IN SUCH A WAY AS TO INDICATE THAT SOME ELSE OF SIMILAR SINISTER BEHAVIOUR IS BEING DESCRIBED. THIS IS OF COURSE THE ANTICHRIST.
THE FINAL PART OF THIS CHAPTER REVEALS WHAT ANTICHRIST WILL BE LIKE.
IN I JOHN, THE APOSTLE WAS BOLD TO SAY THAT EVEN NOW THERE ARE MANY ANTICHRISTS. DO YOU DOUBT HIM WHEN YOU SEE BIDEN AND TRUDEAUX AND MUGABE ETC IN ACTION. I DONT.
IF YOU UNDERSTAND DANIEL 2,7, 8 ET SECQ YOU CAN FIT THIS ALL INTO REVELATION 13-18.
THEY EVEN SET UP AN IMAGE OF THE BEAST OF REVELATION BEFORE THE UN HEADUARTERS IN NY. THERE IS ANOTHER ONE IN BRUSSELS I THINK
REVELATION CAN NOT BE UNDERSTOOD IF OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES ARE NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD. JUST AS IF YOU ONLY PICK UP THE MISSISSIPI AS IT POURS INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO IN LOUISIANNA, YOU HAVE MISSED THE MISSISSIPPI. JUST AS SEVERAL STREAMS AND RIVULETS AND RIVERS ENTER THE MISSISSIPPI, SO DOES THE STREAMS AND RIVULETS AND RIVERS OF BIBLE PROPHECY ENTER REVELATION.
E.G THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH COMES IN AT CHAPTER 4-5 FOLLOWING A PREDICTION OF THE COURSE OF THE CHURCH AGE IN CHAPTERS 2-3.
IN CHAPTER 20, SIX TIMES IT IS MENTIONED ABOUT 100O YEARS, BUT NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT THE MILENNIAL REIGN THERE. THE MILLENNIUM HAS BEEN DISCUSSED HERE AND THERE ALL OVER THE BIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE PSALMS. IF YOU HAVE MISSED THE STREAMS OF THOUGHT THEREOF THROUGHOUT HOLY WRIT, YOU WONT GET IT IN CHAPTER 20, WHICH ONLY REALLY SAYS THIS IS WHERE ALL YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY READ ABOUT THE MILLENNIAM FITS IN.
THE FIASCO OF THE SHIPPING SCREW UP IN CALIFORNIATELLS US NOT THAT THE PREDICTION IN REVELATION 18 IS NOW OCCURING, OR EVEN THAT IT WILL HAPPEN THIS WAY, BUT IT JUST DEMONSTRATES THAT IT CAN HAPPEN IN A WAY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS BEING SEEN. A STUDY OF JUDGES EACHES THAT GOD CAN ATTAIN THE SAME RESULT BY VARIATIONS ON THE SAME R SIMILAR THEME OR MOTIF
RE The REAL challenge of the Covid fiasco is now about to unravel (it started already)
THIS PLANNED-DEMIC HAS BENEFIITED THOSE WHO HAVE SET IT UP AND PROMOTED IT THROUGH FEAR TO APPEASE THEIR GREED AND LUST FOR POWER AND CONTROL. THIS IS NOTHING NEW. IT IS THE BASIS OF SIN FROM ITS INCEPTION AS IS CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN I JOHN 2:15-16. ONLY ONE MAN HAS REALLY OVERCOME THIS AS IS SEEN BY STUDYING THE TEMPTATIONS OF CHRIST IN MATTHEW 4 AND LUKE 4, AND ABOUT WHICH HEBREWS REPORTS THAT HE WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN.
The REAL BOTHER of the Covid fiasco is THAT EVEN THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH HAS NOT SEEN WHAT GOD WANTS THE CHURCH TO SEE.
IT IS AS JOHN TEACHES IN I JOHN, THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IS DEFINITELLY RAMPANT AS NEVER BEFORE………AND AS WE SEE IN DANIEL 5, THE WRITING IS MOST SURELY ON THE WALL.
THE CHURCH AND TRUE BELIEVERS SEEM NOT TO BE SEEING THAT “THEIR SALVATION IS NEARER THAN WHEN THEY FIRST BELIEVED.
I DONT PLAN TO DIVERT THE BLOG JUST TRYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS TO WHAT I BELIEVE
PERHAPS THIS COULD BE DISCUSSED AS A SUNDAY SERMON, BUT BY WHOM ON BU?
WE DONT SEEM TO HAVE FOLK HERE ON BU WITH EITHER THE INTELLECT OR INFORMATION OR INCLINATION TO DISCUSS ANY SUBJECT PROPERLY, AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT OF A BIBLICAL MATTER
BUT THE ABOVE IS SOUND DOCTRINE THAT CAN NOT BE REFUTED
RE @GP
Are you sure about your timelines…?
Is it not MUCH later that this schedule seem to suggest? Bushie wonders….!!!
PLEASE KINDLY NOTE THAT I VERY POLITELY GAVE A SCHOLARLY AND BIBLICAL ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, BUT AS HAS RECENTLY BEEN THE CASE MY POST GET TEK DOWN
Here are Japan and Brazil compared with Barbados thrown in for our perspective.
Japan you can see is practically a flat line at or about 0% for excess deaths.
Barbados has wilder fluctuations.
Japan goes positive in 2021, coincidentally the year of the vaccinations but also the year of floods.
From the graphs it looks like there are times when COVID deaths increasing has no impact on excess deaths and they can actually fall as they are doing across some countries.
My current thinking is floods trump vaccinations and young people’s and children’s robust immunities.
https://imgur.com/6R9E1IC
Now, here are the actual reported COVID deaths per million.
You can see the surge Barbados Experienced after the floods in the 2021 wet season translate to excess deaths falling below 0%!!
I would suggest that the reason is that people who died in this period were classified as dying of COVID when the really died with it.
Sure there was a surge in cases, but COVID was not as lethal as reported in Barbados.
Barbados has small numbers unlike Japan and Brazil so the fluctuations will be greater.

@GP February 18, 2022 11:54 PM “NOTE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN… CANADA, EVEN AS WE SPEAK>”
I see the Ottawa police, the OPP and the RCMP kicking butt…as they are well paid by decent Canadian taxpayers to do.
I hope that you don’t have a problem wid dat?
