COVID-19: A Test Case Before the Big One?

It's without doubt that the Governmental response to Covid-19 worldwide is far in excess of the actual mortality rate of the virus itself.

Now we have a handle on it and the health professionals have good and workable solutions to mitigating the effects and keeping people alive, the death rate is no so shocking, down to figures comparable with a bad 'Flu season.

So, why continue with the draconian lockdown policies?

Despite what the "One World Government" conspiracists tend to espouse, I think there's a far more sinister and deadly reason: the er is another disease on it's way that is far more deadly, far more contagious and requires stringent sanitary standards and if it ever gets here will involve whole areas of the country being tightly cordoned and controlled.

It's called Ebola.

In Africa for two years now, there has been a war on Ebola. It's not in the news, but it's there. The bad news is that unlike previous outbreaks that have been contained to remote bush areas, this time Ebola got to large towns. Supposedly classed as ended on the 25th of June this Year, yet another new outbreak was declared 25 days earlier. 

Thanks to the number of infections overall and the spread of it geographically, it looks like there's now a large pool of the disease in the wild, just waiting to crop up again. 

It is essentially uncontained.

All it takes is for it to hit a major city in Africa and it will be game over, it will escape Africa's borders.

I believe Covid-19 is a trial run, to see how the population will react to widespread infection and what the  Government needs to do in order to isolate the disease and keep people safe.

Otherwise, why is the cure worse than the disease?
