the thing..... fantastic movie
Saw it for the first time a few months ago when I thought I should catch up on my Carpenter flicks. Gave me an appreciation for a lot of things like Aliens, Moog Synths and Mr Russel. It’s neat filling in those gaps and damn did it ever hold up for me.
In other news that Kurt (or at least Snake Plissken) would appreciate:
yeah man, both the original and the remake are movies I can watch over and over and I can't stand watching most movies more than once.
For those in the U.S. that think this is much ado about nothing, the number of new deaths while seemingly low at first glance should give one pause.
According to worldometers, the total deaths as of
March 3 were 9
as of March 10: 30 [21 new in week]
as of March 17: 109 [79 new in week]
This is while our healthcare system is within its capacity. The number of new deaths more than tripled in 7 days.
Let’s hope the lockdowns have slowed that progression down.
So, why are we trying to slow it down? Think about how many would be dying per week eight weeks from now if the number of new deaths were to triple every week. [If we did nothing, deaths would likely increase even faster since we are still within the health system’s capacity. Once that limit is reached deaths accelerate.]
That’s why extreme social distancing and hand washing are important.
Let’s hope our government and communities step up and pay people out of work due to these circumstances.
My word just started reading the predictions of different epidemic patterns and containment models, by imperial college in london for U.S and G.B, this is the reason fox news has done a massive u-turn.
For an uncontrolled epidemic, which was the strategy here (GB) until recently, some of the states taking action in the U.S, might slow this a bit, estimated 30 times over capacity for ICU care in both countries. Estimated 2nd week of april when capacity is exceeded.
Optimal strategy of containment, which neither country is doing atm, 8 times over ICU capacity, end of april beginning of may exceed point.
Reading this I got about half way through, I’m not prepared, nebulizer I was going to get, just incase anyone I know ran into breathing difficulties, sold out, going to have to boost my immune system more as quite a few people I know aren’t ready for what’s laid out in these predictions, need to be ready to help, without putting people at risk.

Carpenter’s The Thing was a box office flop. Amazing. James Aries’s was the original carrot monster.
People will die (and better than even odds I will be one of them) but things are starting to happen. Antiviral possibilities, widespread lockdowns and eventually a vaccine. I am confident enough will survive to continue ravaging the planet.
I have met the enemy and he is us... Al Capp, Pogo.
Future music:
(The final movement is often supposed to be a vision of a post-apocalyptic world)
Then I read things like this and feel hopeful again, most my anxiety over this, stems from the government in charge atm.

An infection control experiment that was rolled out in a small Italian community at the start of Europe’s coronavirus crisis has stopped all new infections in the town that was at the centre of the country’s outbreak.
Through testing and retesting of all 3,300 inhabitants of the town of Vò, near Venice, regardless of whether they were exhibiting symptoms, and rigorous quarantining of their contacts once infection was confirmed, health authorities have been able to completely stop the spread of the illness there.
Andrea Crisanti, an infections expert at Imperial College London who is taking part in the Vò project while on sabbatical at the University of Padua, urged countries that have been limiting virus testing, which includes the UK and US, to learn lessons and ramp up the numbers of people being screened.
“In the UK, there are a whole lot of infections that are completely ignored,” Prof Crisanti told the Financial Times. “We were able to contain the outbreak here because we identified and eliminated the ‘submerged’ infections and isolated them,” he said of the Vò approach. “That is what makes the difference.”
32 + $TRILLION stashed in tax havens, at what stage might capitalist governments impose a 20% emergency tax on those.
Won’t happen here in a timely fashion unfortunately. Johnson still hasn’t closed the schools, there’s hardly any testing, and we have non-compulsory self-isolation, without any official support.
Basically we don’t have the infrastructure anymore, or a competent government capable of managing it.
Like the way he’s only just asked companies to start making ventilators, as if someone has just nudged him and told him there’s a pandemic going on.
Great post.
I finally feel like I fit in the world.
A world in which I wear headphones even if plugged into my pocket to avoid conversation with anyone. Even my neighbors.
I hate people.
Due in part to my own situational line-item self-loathing. My social maladaptations have been brought about by PTSD and life's rigors I assume.
Ironically the stress and stigma now so many are facing is how I feel in a room of people I have known for years on many instances.
Solitude is a hard won ally.
Death is always by oneself.
I know I am where I need to be.
Until I am not.
The most important things are done alone.
Does anyone meditate in a group? Only weak people who need others to guide them on some manmade religion of devolved spiritual servitude.
Does anyone masturbate in a group? Well, this is a hard one.
All joking aside, because now I want to be less than joyful.
Let me say, I love this chaos in a way.
It fuels me for what I know.
Mankind is a fragile weak thing in which we are all only alone in the end.
Let me say, I love this chaos in a way.
It fuels me for what I feel.
My mind is agile. No defeat in the end.
For real, this whole thing has been VERY MUY inspirational writing or creating lyrics and musical concepts.
Cinematic music meets techno meets Death's Grip.
I can dig it.
I love the chaos.
Yeah it’s fecking amazing the level of ineptitude of these clowns, then all the bullshit excuses, you’d think we didn’t have a heads up from other countries that went thru this before us, even had the chinese sequence the damn thing and the germans come up with a reliable test, pretty quickly.
All they needed to do was a modest cash injection early on, regarding getting tests ready, deployed and processed, then fortifying hospitals in hard hit areas, making sure staff get regularly tested and have the safety equipment they need. We’ll end up paying through the nose in the end, for years to come, while corporations will still pay little to no tax and the wealthy stash their hoards offshore.
Great post too, I actually like cool people and would love to socialise more.. it’s just I get random self conscious attacks of varying degrees. Dizzy, have to get away sweats etc.’
Stay safe dude ;-)
Looked in the mirror this morning, was SHOCKED to discover I looked like Boris, thankfully it was Karlof.
@RUST( i )K, ironically you are not alone. You stand apart, but there are kindred spirits. Maybe it is like the solar system. Some planets are clustered together, reachable by rocket. The moon, perhaps the earth’s wife. Then beyond Mars vast distances begin. We don’t fathom them as children because the distance is never represented accurately. It gets bigger. And deeper. And colder. Mercury, Venus, Mars
chatter and crackle with vibratory activity. The Sun warms them with monotheistic energy. They are brothers and sisters. Fleet, Amorous, Organic, Warlike... but beyond is isolation, self involvement, majesty
And, yes, a cold and pathetic rock that was once a part but lately cast off by the minds of men.
But still, unified by time and space they are. And the furthest away capture the fascination of men. One day. Maybe. Beyond those outer planets is a vastness. Almost unreachable. Ever. Yet to be far away, on Neptune, Uranus, on mighty Jupiter... the intense gods... it is easier to look outward into the nothingness.
The Sun does not crowd it out with blaze. The meditation is solitude and profound.
There is something here that pleases me, too @RUST( i )K. I do not know trauma like you. But I feel the entropy. I was engaged so much more in life. So much has dropped away. The chaos was always here. In men’s minds. Cloaked by a thin veneer of illusion. Of delusional control. Of belonging. Of the myth of love.
I did not expect the world would ever join me in the primal fear. The cratering toward eternity. The motives of men never dropped away in the world we knew. But now, for a brief moment, because it is far from over, the caul is dropping from our eyes. We see our fragility. The tenderness beneath the bravado.
The pain feels. The tears flow. The anger smolders. But beyond, in the blackness is acceptance. Some know pieces of it, but all are flung either into it or away, depending on the gravitational force, the maya in our minds. For now we orbit. And even though some may be far far away from the static we are part of something. And there is warmth of varying degrees.
Your self sufficiency is admirable @RUST( i )K. Yet you are here, amongst us. Clattering, somehow, with the rest of us. Until time ends and chaos is all, but benign. Fare well, my friend.

“We’ve just had in the UK a 3-day exercise on flu, on a pandemic that killed a lot of people..It became clear that we could not cope with the excess bodies”.
Inadequate ventilation capacity was specifically identified. NO changes to planning were implemented.

I’ve seen his writing shed, down in Laugharne. Lovely spot, overlooking the water.
overlooking the water sounds nice
, well I concur the fuck out of what he said!!!
Matt "There's an App for that" Hancock was on twitter asking if anyone knew a company that could make ventilators.
@Max23 - the Koreans and Chinese are managing using the Italian approach. It's not easy, but it can be done. It just requires will and resources. So the US and UK are fucked.
That is actually quite staggering, even by this government’s terrifyingly low standards.
Matt ‘acting normally with women’ (not on Youtube, but video on blog site) Hancock is a vacuous piece of useless shite. Like all of them, really.
Basically the public are going to have to fend for themselves, and help each other where we can. But when the worst has passed, this government will have some serious questions to answer.
Well to put things in perspective. In the US the Democrats are pushing to continue the Democratic primary, Joe Biden's campaign was providing inaccurate information in order to persuade his supporters to go to the polls and they actually held the bloody things yesterday.
And on economic stimulae packages - the Republicans are actually proposing (we'll see if they do anything, and words are cheap) better things than the bloody Democrats.
It's not too late, it will just be a lot more difficult and will take more time.
What inaccurate information was Biden providing? Can you provide a source for this information?
surely Bidens lied about something, the issue is what do people who don't like bidens lies do about Trumps 16,000 lies besides lose all credibility
For me, this video just points out how complacent people have been in terms of not doing enough testing of viruses in populations around the world. This is especially important in a world that is so interconnected where a virus can spread across the world. We’ve had pandemics before which killed millions of people in a world that was much less connected. New viruses are continually evolving and recombining with new characteristics and effects. Different population characteristics and the health histories of individuals further complicates managing these problems.
Pointing out that we’re not doing enough and that this means that policies based upon insufficient scientific investigation aren’t going to be as effective as they could be doesn’t strike me as hype, rather we’re forced to do the best we can in a bad situation because we collectively decided other priorities were more important. With respect to Covid-19, during the outbreak doctors have closely studied the effects of the virus on the human body so it’s misleading to claim they don’t know if the Covid-19 virus is killing people or not. The video does not address how the virus is so easily spread especially by people who have few or any symptoms, a fact that was not known at the start of the pandemic. Once again it’s been repeatedly emphasized that 80% of people will have mild or no symptoms and that it’s the elderly and those with other underlying health conditions that are most at risk.
There is no shortage of studies and reports pointing out the potential threats for pandemics and strategies to address them. There simply hasn’t been enough commitment to follow through on them.
As throughout recorded history, there continues to be a lot of inequity and subsequent mistrust. Given this environment, it’s a challenge to set aside self interests to develop a consensus on how to move forward for the greater good.
People seem to have an innate capacity to quickly forget the need to take action once a crisis has passed. A focus on the degree to which a particular approach will impact a given country, community, business, or individual seems to add more inertia to these sorts of policy decisions.
As we’ve seen existing political tensions cloud and exacerbate our ability to respond in an effective and timely manner. My impression is that a lot more energy goes into assigning blame for what’s happened than goes into examining how we can learn from and develop a better system for managing them.
In a complex world that has come to be dependent upon large organizations both public and private, we’ve also come to rely upon bureaucracies to run them. A side effect of bureaucracies is that the internal communication structures and culture that arise from within them has a tendency to override the initial goals the bureaucracy was created to serve. Americans experience this with their healthcare as do its providers which has degraded the quality of healthcare received.
Bureaucratic resistance to change undermines our ability to respond to an evolving crisis. Until we’re able to develop a way to manage complex systems in a more responsive way, we’ll continue to suffer from the toxic effects of bureaucracy.
It’s easier for people to focus on individuals and direct their frustrations or admiration towards them. This personalization perspective means systemic problems are more difficult to address because they’re complex, involve specialized language and consequently are quite boring to almost everyone. Some believe replacing government with private companies could resolve these problems but unfortunately we’ve seen how their thinking can be driven by the demands of short term profits which their shareholders seek. There are many instances where companies have been able to corrupt both the selection process and have been able to avoid accountability too. It’s a difficult challenge and I don’t have a solution. I do believe that large numbers of people opting out of trying to select their governmental representatives and the increasingly rancorous divide among those who do is making things worse.
