France Bans Gatherings “Due to Heatwave” as Germany Mulls Annual Mask Mandate – and China Uses Covid App to Target Protestors

by Will Jones
17 June 2022 6:11 PM

Sceptical blogger Eugyppius has spotted the creeping normalisation of draconian Covid measures to address other ‘public health’ issues.

The BBC reports that outdoor public events have been banned in an area of France – because of the heat, I kid you not.

Outdoor public events have been banned in an area of France as a record breaking heatwave sweeps across Europe.

In Gironde, officials said public events, including some of the official June 18th Resistance celebrations, will be prohibited from Friday at 2pm “until the end of the heat wave”. Indoor events at venues without air-conditioning are also banned.

Private celebrations, such as weddings, will still be allowed.

“Everyone now faces a health risk,” local official Fabienne Buccio told France Bleu radio.

Then we hear that the German Federal Government is considering making face masks compulsory in October, just because it’s October.

In preparing new infection control measures, the Federal Government is intensively discussing a general obligation to wear a mask beginning in October… Part of the coalition Government favours introducing a so-called “O-to-O” [“Oktober bis Ostern” – “October to Easter”] rule, which up to now has been used primarily for motorists, requiring winter tyres on the roads between October and Easter. In future, a similar rule could apply to indoor mask mandates during this period.

In response to a question from Welt on Sunday, the Chancellor’s Office said that such a rule was being considered among various possible regulations for upcoming amendments of the Infection Protection Act…

A seasonal mask requirement would be an attempt to curb other respiratory infections besides COVID-19, supporters of the plan say.

Eugyppius comments that “everything crazy internet people told you about why lockdowns were a bad idea is coming true”.

The most destructive aspects of containment have been retired, but for what remains, they don’t even bother with Corona as an excuse anymore. All you need is a heat wave to ban mass gatherings in France now; public health officials just have to declare that “Everyone faces a health risk”, and that’s it, your right to assemble is voided. The lunatic German Government, meanwhile, is feverishly trying to make masks a permanent feature of winter life, even if SARS-2 disappears tomorrow. Masks might “curb … respiratory infections”, and that’s all you need to mandate face coverings in a major central European country these days.

Eugyppius’s post is worth reading in full.

Meanwhile in China – the trendsetter in modern public health measures – increasing numbers of people are finding their Covid app turning red without explanation after they tried to protest the earlier (also unexplained) freezing of their savings. A red app code means the person is barred from access to all public places, including shops and train stations, and faces mandatory quarantine in a centralised isolation centre. It looks very much like the Chinese Government is using its Covid surveillance system to target protestors.

Another idea for the German Government, perhaps. Papiere Bitte!

Hmm. Are we observing a linguistic fraud? Deliberate adjustment of normal definitions – in this case, it’s to do with meteorology. There is a standard definition of what “heatwave” actually is supposed to mean, but in common parlance it is often misused. I don’t know if méteofrance has the same sort of problem as met people here have, but wouldn’t be surprised.

We are not having one now. It’s not long enough time wise, at the very least, even though it’s the hottest day of the year. However, Short term spike in unusual conditions can be risky for those not well prepared.

The four seasons adjusted for climate change: We used to have spring, summer, autumn and winter, now we have It keeps getting hotter and it’s raining too little!, HEATWAVE!!!, Weather’s getting ever more extreme! and DEADLY EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS!!!

NB: This is not a joke. The powers who are can manufacture a climate emergency in the exact same way they manufactured a COVID emergency. Blow everyday events out ot proportion by constantly claiming they’d be extreme and hitherto-unknown-to-man and take all kinds of heavy-handed emergency measures. Finally, point at the necessity of the measures as proof that the situation is critical and getting worse.

They can also do geo engineering to add ‘evidence’ to their claims.

The rigged system is coming apart. The people are going to suffer and get very angry. the establishment is terrified of the general public and view them as a threat that needs to be controlled.

Viewed through this prism, all these government actions make perfect sense.

I wonder what temperatures are classed as a ‘heatwave’?

Here in Thailand it is 31C at 11am.

Dubai it is 44C.

This is the latest UK definition: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/types-of-weather/temperature/heatwave If you look at it, note how the graph changes when they change the average years used – even if reality is the same. Funnily enough the latest looks a lot worse than it would in the past.

With characteristic clarity, the met office defines heatewave as three days of maximum daily temperature exceeding the heatwave threshold. The actual numbers are in the Heatwave Plan for England. The extremely simplified definition is It’s summer, ie, maximum daily temperatures above 24 degrees centigrade (when excess deaths may start to become noticeable). The temperature thresholds are based on regional averages. The UK-wide average is 30 degrees C.

Interesting bit: A national/ regional heatwave emergency is said to occur when the heatwave is prolonged. What this precisely means isn’t stated. But illness and death may occur among the fit and healthy. Londoners are a tough lot and will only start dying in droves when temperatures exceed 31 degrees C. But the weaklings in the North East will already start dropping dead like flies above 27 degrees C.

And yes, they do recommed face coverings but so far, no medical ones. Heatwave vaccines are being developed (the latter is sarcasm, but not the former).

This from February but still worth watching. This fact was revealed:

Justine Trudeau’s mother’s friend Fidel Castro jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror.  

He murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans in his first six.

Germany and France have gone WEF. It is like going postal, but it affects many more people. None of this nonsense based on science, just used to control the sheeple. Hoping the French and Germans wake up soon.
