Fascinating article on colour grading in movies!
ReplyDeleteI know it is frowned upon to even think the questions about covid these days, but those police members, did they actually die from covid or did they die with covid ?
ReplyDeleteHere in New Zealand we have had 'covid' deaths, one of them was shot dead in a gang killing, but as he had traces of the virus in him at autopsy, he was listed as a covid death.
Other people, in their 90s, living in rest homes and suffering from influenza and cancer, get listed as covid deaths because they had the virus when they died, which may or may not have hastened their demise.
I do not doubt that people are dying from covid, but here in NZ at least, a lot of the reporting is doctored, either for sensationalism or perhaps to further some unknown agenda.
We lost 52 people to 'covid' these last two years ... we've lost 24 to drowning in the last 3 months, yet they are not making snorkels compulsory.
For some reason they haven't brought in 20km/ph speed limits and people in front of the car with a red flag yet ... strange as we lost 325 people to road deaths last year.
A year ago I would have sworn on my cat's lives, all of them and all the cats, that our government was transparent ... not anymore.
I normally try to be amusing with my comments (I probably fail), but I am scared they are going to put army trucks in the streets and start kicking our doors in to ensure we are all vaccinated.
My mum chose not to have Thalidomide tp offset morning sickness, it was considered a safe drug at first back then, but her choice means I can write this with my hands.
