Flirtation with recession, along with new era of austerity and
stagnation are consequences of policy response to pandemic

The UK economy is flatlining and has been for the best part of a year.
Recovery after the deep slump of 2020 has petered out. Higher inflation,
higher interest rates and higher taxes are all exacting a toll.
Technically, the strict definition of a recession has not been met
because the economy has yet to contract for two successive quarters. But
official estimates showing zero growth in the final three months of 2022
meant it was a mighty close thing. With the full impact of higher
borrowing costs yet to be felt, neither the chancellor nor the governor
of the Bank of England would bet against a recession at some point this
year.
Britain is the one G7 country where activity is still to return to its
pre-pandemic levels and on current trends it will be some time before it
does. Growth has not exactly been stellar anywhere else in the developed
world either but the UK’s performance has been especially poor. By early
2025, the last possible moment when a general election could be held,
the economy will probably still be smaller than it was in late 2019.
Some will wonder what the fuss is all about. There is a strong de-growth
community in the UK that says the aim of policy should not be
ever-higher levels of growth, but a steady-state economy that ceases to
put as much pressure on the carrying capacity of the planet.
Well, for the past three years the UK has been through a process of
de-growth. The 16-year period of constant and robust expansion from 1992
to 2008 is now a distant memory. To all intents and purposes the economy
has arrived at a steady state. But it would be stretching the truth to
say that the country is a happier place because of it. The number of
adults rating their satisfaction with life as very high is well down on
pre-pandemic levels, according to the Office for National Statistics.
That’s hardly surprising. Living standards are going down because wages
are failing to keep pace with prices. Consumers who have savings are
dipping into them in order to maintain spending habits. Those without
savings are being forced to tighten their belts.
There is, though, more to it than that. To be sure, the pandemic has
left its mark through supply chain bottlenecks and an increase in the
number of business failures, but there has also been long-term scarring
both to the economy and to the nation’s social fabric. The workforce is
smaller because the number of people classified as long-term sick or who
have taken early retirement has increased.
Meanwhile, evidence is mounting of the long-term consequences of
quarantining the country during lockdown. There were warnings at the
time that keeping people under a form of house arrest would lead to
rising loneliness, mental illness, domestic abuse and childhood obesity;
a growing school attainment divide between pupils from rich and poor
homes; an increase in hospital waiting lists and a rise in undiagnosed
cases of cancer. All of which have come to pass. Only last month, for
example, a report by the House of Commons Library expressed concern that
the estimated rate of absence from school in the current academic year
was 7.8% – compared with 4.8% in 2019-20.
The better off households in Britain – as elsewhere – survived the
pandemic reasonably well. This part of the population was able to work
from home, and actually stashed money away as its spending opportunities
were reduced during lockdown. The value of their houses went up, and
they were also the main beneficiaries of rising share prices. The
super-rich did best of all from the surge in asset prices driven by
record-low interest rates and central bank money-printing. Globally,
lockdowns resulted in more billionaires and more people living in
extreme poverty.
The response to this is that there was no alternative but to take
draconian measures, in order to provide a breathing space before the
arrival of vaccines. A single narrative in which policy makers had no
choice but to impose lockdowns has largely gone unchallenged.
But as Toby Green and Thomas Fazi note in their book, The Covid
Consensus, the idea of entire countries being placed in lockdown was
something entirely new. They note that in a report on pandemic
preparedness produced by the World Health Organization in November 2019
there was no notion of city-wide, let alone country-wide quarantines
being conceived of. The word “lockdown” was not mentioned once.

Britain’s flirtation with recession and a new era of austerity,
alongside semi-permanent economic stagnation are the consequences of a
policy response to the pandemic that was far-reaching in its scope and
severity. Given that the price paid for lockdown was colossal and is
still rising, a period of deep reflection is needed. The argument that
there was no alternative should be closely examined.

Such are the lies coming from the lying pens of the
http://bit.ly/terribly_hungry (Genesis 25:32) commentators.
That which is "spiritual" is independent of time so that there
would've been no reference to "now."
Therefore, the LORD is referring to physical hunger here instead of
the spiritual "hunger and thirst for righteousness" elsewhere in
Scripture.
Indeed, physical hunger can **not** coexist with physical thirst
because the latter results in the loss of saliva needed for physical
hunger.
It is when we hunger for food "now" (Luke 6:21a) that we are able to
eat food "now."
No such time constraints exist for "spiritual hunger."
Moreover, the perspective of Luke 6:21a through the eyes of a
physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
instead of spiritual.
All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to
unwittingly demonstrate your ever worsening cognitive condition which
is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more
than ever.
Laus DEO !

Indeed, receiving a mouthful (Psalm 81:10) of manna from GOD will only

Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer
(Exodus 16:16) of manna, while the wicked need (Proverbs 13:25) this
knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
satiated).
> Joel
> 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of

Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
(Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.
Laus DEO ! !

Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
full) is evil.
> Acts

In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
(Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

physician (i.e. Dr. Luke) would be logically expected to be physical
instead of spiritual.
All glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD for His compelling you to

is tragically a consequence of His cursing (Jeremiah 17:5) you more

Indeed, the righteous know to be satisfied (Luke 6:21a) with an omer

knowledge as evident by their eating until they are full (i.e.
satiated).

Indeed, an omer (32 ounces per Revelation 6:6) of manna is plenty
(Joel 2:26) with all glory ( http://bit.ly/Psalm117_ ) to GOD and to
the shame of you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned.

Indeed, being filled (Psalm 107:9) with an omer (Exodus 16:16) of
manna is a Wonderful (Isaiah 9:6) thing while being satiated (i.e.
full) is evil.
> Acts

In the interim, you, who are eternally (Mark 3:29) condemned, will
never be satisfied (Acts 14:17) because you are ever more cursed
(Jeremiah 17:5) by GOD.

(Toby) 02/18/23 Again, surge in sudden deaths due to long-COVID ...
Heart-disease risk soars after COVID -- even with a mild case.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00403-0
Massive study shows a long-term, substantial rise in risk of
cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke, after a
SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Even a mild case of COVID-19 can increase a person’s risk of
cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis, a new
study1 shows. Researchers found that rates of many conditions, such as
heart failure and stroke, were substantially higher in people who had
recovered from COVID-19 than in similar people who hadn’t had the
disease.
What’s more, the risk was elevated even for those who were under 65
years of age and lacked risk factors, such as obesity or diabetes.
“It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, it doesn’t matter if you
smoked, or you didn’t,” says study co-author Ziyad Al-Aly at
Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and the chief of
research and development for the Veterans Affairs (VA) St. Louis
Health Care System. “The risk was there.”
Al-Aly and his colleagues based their research on an extensive
health-record database curated by the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs. The researchers compared more than 150,000 veterans
who survived for at least 30 days after contracting COVID-19 with two
groups of uninfected people: a group of more than five million people
who used the VA medical system during the pandemic, and a similarly
sized group that used the system in 2017, before SARS-CoV-2 was
circulating.
Troubled hearts
People who had recovered from COVID-19 showed stark increases in 20
cardiovascular problems over the year after infection. For example,
they were 52% more likely to have had a stroke than the contemporary
control group, meaning that, out of every 1,000 people studied, there
were around 4 more people in the COVID-19 group than in the control
group who experienced stroke.
The risk of heart failure increased by 72%, or around 12 more people
in the COVID-19 group per 1,000 studied. Hospitalization increased the
likelihood of future cardiovascular complications, but even people who
avoided hospitalization were at higher risk for many conditions.
“I am actually surprised by these findings that cardiovascular
complications of COVID can last so long,” Hossein Ardehali, a
cardiologist at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, wrote in
an e-mail to Nature. Because severe disease increased the risk of
complications much more than mild disease, Ardehali wrote, “it is
important that those who are not vaccinated get their vaccine
immediately”.
COVID’s cardiac connection
Ardehali cautions that the study’s observational nature comes with
some limitations. For example, people in the contemporary control
group weren’t tested for COVID-19, so it’s possible that some of them
actually had mild infections. And because the authors considered only
VA patients — a group that’s predominantly white and male — their
results might not translate to all populations.
Ardehali and Al-Aly agree that health-care providers around the world
should be prepared to address an increase in cardiovascular
conditions. But with high COVID-19 case counts still straining medical
resources, Al-Aly worries that health authorities will delay preparing
for the pandemic’s aftermath for too long. “We collectively dropped
the ball on COVID,” he said. “And I feel we’re about to drop the ball
on long COVID.”
