I was thinking about the way society has reacted to this current disease problem and it suddenly dawned on me that the reaction of society as a whole on the maco scale closely mimics that which occurs on the micro scale in those who then die as a result of the disease.
From reports that I have read regarding the progression of the disease and, in particular, the conditions which lead to death of the victim, what happens is that there is an early under-reaction of the immune system to the virus, perhaps due to slowness of response or lack of response altogether caused by pre-existing factors such as advanced age, compromised immunity, etc.
What then follows, as the virus takes hold, is an eventual over-reaction of the immune system, a veritable onslaught of antibodies being produced as a result of the already widespread infection. The consequence is that the immune system of such a person does as much damage as the virus, potentially even more, leading eventually to death.
Isn't this precisely what we have seen occur on the macro scale in society? There was an initial under-reaction to the reports coming out of China and, later, elsewhere, and people continued in their daily lives as if nothing had changed. This was aided and abetted by a slack, lazy, politically driven mass media who lulled the populace into complacency and foolishly believed the played-down reports coming out of a nation whose government has a clear track record of lying and suppression of the truth, even to the point of murdering its citizens. However, since China is politically aligned with the fools in mass media, most of whom are far left leaning moral imbeciles, the warnings coming from more conservative voices were not being heard and were even being played down as alarmist and even "racist", the usual go-to for the fools of the left.
Then, as the virus took hold in European and Middle Eastern nations, the meteoric rise of numbers of infections and the ever increasing death toll lead to an over-reaction by the lefty media fools and all the complacent "me-first" masses resulting in lock-downs and the onset of total social and economic collapse.
Does this mean that western civilisation is about to perish? I do not think so for one simple reason; western civilisation is already dead. Dead things cannot again die.
The takeaway for me from all of this is that my experience of the repetitiveness of patterns throughout creation across both time and space and any other way one can think of is as consistent in a matter such as this current crisis as it is in the old saying that history repeats itself. We also see this in the prophecies outlined in scripture where each prophecy has both a literal physical fulfillment and a spiritual fulfillment, and each can happen on multiple scales. This is a pattern of patterns and it has long fascinated me, especially because of my engineering background, since I learned from an early stage that a mathematical concept used to model a physical system seems to show up in the same form over and over for all manner of different systems, and this same pattern of patterns concept seems to underly absolutely all things, physical and spiritual, because information, no matter what form it is presented in, retains its characteristics and that is spiritual reality.
Perhaps at some time in the future I will write about my understanding of just what spirit really is and how it underlies all existence and is not actually separate from physical reality but underpins every single aspect of it. Alternatively, the Lord has other plans for me, but the revelations He has given me over the years must have been given for a reason, though I do not yet know precisely what that reason may be. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, consider buying yourself some tonic water since it contains quinine. I am not certain of this but in considering the drug used to treat malaria that has had success in treating this virus, that drug was developed as a result of the success of quinine in treating malaria and, in fact, tonic water is a product of the time when malaria was a widespread problem, thus its name, "Tonic Water". The problem is that the quinine in tonic water is possibly too dilute to have any significant effect on an already infected person if it has any effect at all. The modern drug used to treat malaria (most cases) and which has been successful in treating this new disease is called hydroxychloroquine. As is evidenced in its name, the tail end of the name, "quine", does indeed derive from the word, "quinine", since the drug is related to quinine, though not the same in a significant sense. Thus it remains uncertain to me whether it is that component of the drug that has the impact, in which case it might be possible that quinine, and thus, tonic water, has an impact, perhaps not to eliminate the infection but may actually slow it down or prevent it from becoming too dangerous. However, if that part of the drug is not the effective component then tonic water may have no effect. Nevertheless, I have several bottles of tonic water (I always keep some as a drink, anyway) and if I should find myself affected directly by this currently virulent strain of the disease, I will probably try tonic water in case it has some effect to improve the outcome. Who knows, it just may be that simple and nothing is lost in trying, anyway. By the way, should you purchase any tonic water due to my comments here, I take no responsibility over your behaviour but strongly advise you to only get what you may need (perhaps 4 to 6 bottles). Further, keep this knowledge to yourself for now because I do not want to cause a mad rush for tonic water when it may end up being of no use at all, since panicking godless people behave in the most atrocious way and can do much more damage than the illness itself, and may God watch over you in any case.
