Create the fear then retract it

“Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, the World Health Organization said.”

"From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It's very rare."
Very convenient to create the fear then try and retract it now.

Are you Pro-Active or Re-Active?

Image
When it comes to your health, ask yourself this question: “Am I proactive or reactive?” Being reactive means taking action only when you’re in pain. Being proactive means doing what it takes to maintain good health. Being reactive means getting up off the couch because your family member or friend told you so. Being proactive means getting up off the couch and being active because you want to and you know it is good for you! Being reactive means grabbing the quickest source of sugary sweets to combat a stressful moment. Being proactive means eating healthy food (including healthy fats) when you’re hungry and when you need it most to properly maintain healthy stress levels. Reactive = Symptoms Being reactive can often be tied to symptoms. When you experience pain, this symptom tells you that something’s wrong and needs to be corrected. Correcting the cause of the symptom takes a level of commitment and sacrifice. It takes being proactive. No matter where you are on the reactive/proac...

One Shot

In January 2009 I was priviliged to Coach a great bunch of young 7s Rugby players to win a National 7s Championship representing North Harbour. During the course of our campaign,we came up with various games and themes all designed to keep us on our toes and focused on the big prize. The main phrase which we adopted fiercely was "One Shot." We reminded ourselves over and over,that the opportunity to become National Champions may only come around once in a lifetime. Many great 7s players had never been part of National Champion teams,and many great players may have got to the great stage but failed at the final hurdle. We knew that we had the opportunity,and that we had to take it. There would never be another chance that we collectively,would ever get again. We had "One Shot" at it. North Harbour 7s 2009 Too many times over the years as both a Player and as a Coach,I've seen players come off the field being totally shattered with the result and/...

Comrade Jacinda is on the ropes

 Comrade Jacinda is scrambling to contain the groundswell of rebellion against her after COVID-19 resurfaced once again. (Did it ever leave??) Since Day 1 this Govt here in NZ has never been clear on a Plan 'B' and instead kept indoctrinating the public every day in its 1pm news briefings with brainwashing terminology such as " go hard and go early' and the "team of 5 million." We all bought in to it. We all dutifully obeyed her orders mainly due to uneducated fears of this 'new' Coronavirus and the fact that many people thought it was the Bubonic Plague x 10. We were never given any idea of what the end goal was. Was it to 'eliminate' the virus completely in NZ or merely to just 'contain' it somehow? There was never any talk on either of these and certainly the thought of total eradication was never considered. Instead, we were all locked up. It was called "Quarantine" but we all know that quarantine is for the sick. Locking...
