Uncle Rob Tests Virus Masks (Video) And Opening Schools

PADA: Well personally, if someone was coughing next to me, I'd rather they had a mask on. Sheesh pilgrims! It does appear that in countries like S. Korea -- where they use masks, mass testing and contact tracing, they have been able to contain the virus to the point they have less than 100 cases per day. OK that means, we know the masks help. 

Another devotee wanted to know my idea on sending their kids back to school. Well, I would say, if you can avoid it, you should. It does not look like they have the situation of groups of children under control. Of course -- if we think of kids in general -- and all their snotty noses, fevers, coughing, etc. already going on well before all this, they are not candidates for good hygiene techniques. Not rocket science?

And if the kids get it, they bring it home to the parents. That could be potentially devastating, plus some kids are having long term ill effects. Its not really clear yet how these long range effects will last etc. because all this is too new. Avoid if possible is my advice.    

There are also devotees sending me links saying that the US government intentionally back pedals the mass virus testing process -- which could contain the virus as it has done in other countries -- so that the US will have a huge spread of the virus. And then we will be dependent on a vaccine. 

And then we will all have to get a vaccine -- that will inject us with a computer chip to monitor our actions. Therefore this is a "plandemic," the government wants to whip us all up -- so we'd all volunteer to get the vaccine. 

I am not sure if that is the case. Is the government actually organized enough to pull all this together? Or is this just a random act of karma from eating bats, cats, rats, dogs, turtles, snakes, frogs, centipedes, which the government has no control over, because this reaction is being formed as punishment by the material energy of God? And now the humans are in a mess because they allowed this animal eating process to run amok? OK from history, generally plagues are seen as a manifestation of the anger of God, I would say that cannot be ruled out.   

Probably the mass chip idea is not the case -- since the government cannot possibly keep track of hundreds of millions of people walking around with computer chips -- so the government will know when my neighbor goes out to buy a pack of Marlboros and a new lawn chair. They just don't have enough computers to monitor all that stuff, its impossible.

But its either that -- or its lots of incompetence. Just saying! Overall, I think as devotees we have to be smart about what is going on here. A devotee went flying on an airplane, which is not recommended due to recirculating air, and he is now dead from the virus. 

My conclusion? 

I think that the pandemic was not planned, but severely mismanaged. And now they are scrambling to pick up the pieces. And we as devotees are all affected because now we cannot have normal work, and we cannot congregate in the temples from fear of public spreading etc. 

So it appears to me as first of all -- bad karma from eating animals and then -- a broken down approach to trying to contain the problem once it began. Overall it all karma for all of us, which is another reason to get serious about being Krishna conscious and getting out of here.

Anyway this below is from "Vanity Fair" -- and it points to a conspiracy to back pedal the testing -- to make us all dependent on a vaccine -- and whether there was a conspiracy or not, they bungled it badly. Which means, we have the karma of incompetence, or maybe malefic intent, the same problem we have had with ISKCON leaders, nothing new under the sun. As for the vaccine being valid or not, I am not an expert who can say, but when we get to this point in the scheme of things, we are already in deep trouble. 

Take care and stay well folks! ys pd

[Thanks LD: Yep they apparently did not know that the blue states are adjoined and contiguous with the red ones. And thus its just a question of time -- and their lack of testing process -- when the problem will catch up with everyone else. 

Good question? Lack of managing skills, or conspiracy? Either way its a mess. China is sending a huge testing squad into Hong Kong right now to start a mass testing regime, they apparently know what needs to be done in this type situation. We are evidently still wondering why its not only confined in the blue states over here.]
