40,000 New Zealanders have been held captive in COVID containment facilities, according to The Guardian. Their crime? Testing positive for SAR-COV-2 (a disease no more dangerous than the flu). Similar violations are happening in countries all over the world.

I recommend taking the following precautions to avoid finding yourself likewise imprisoned:

1. Get rid of your cellphone

Your cellphone, smartphone, blackberry, blueberry… is a tracking device. You go to a store ten minutes after a “confirmed” corona case and the next morning you are being hauled away.

I haven’t owned a cell phone in 18 years. Life is fine without one. Indeed, studies show that checking your smartphone causes dopamine burnout, anxiety and depression, according to Harvard Univresity. And the microwave signals they emit weaken your health, according to many experiments.

Bankrupt these Big Brother companies! Vote for a free world with your dollars. At the very least, keep it off or in airplane mode as much as possible, and get the cheapest subscription.

2. Always pay with cash

Another way of contact tracing you into quarantine is through your credit and debit transactions. Again, a confirmed case in the post office at 9:50am leads to a Big Brother check on all debit transactions for the last hour. They see you bought some stamps at 9:35am. By 9:35pm, you are being rushed to a quarantine facility with promise of free wifi, armed guards and an unlimited supply of face masks.

Paying with cash will also help struggling businesses avoid transaction fees while taking money away from the big banking systems.

3.Don’t give your (real) contact details

Last year, months before the corona craze started, the local Public “Health” Unit in my Ontario town already required barbers to have a record of all their customers’ appointments. After a trim one day, my barber asked me for my name:

“King.” I said.

He wrote it down. “First name?”

“That was my first name, middle name is Henry, last name the Fifth.”

I’m now memorizing the Public Health Unit’s phone number to give when asked.

4. Stay healthy, so you can recover fast from a cold

Water fast for 24 hours once a week or whenever you feel ill. Get enough sleep so that you don’t need coffee to function. Eat simple, healthy food. Run, walk and lift body weights. Breathe through your nose. Avoid the obvious vices. Sunbathe.

5. Avoid large gatherings where admission is tracked

Attending concerts, plays and such seem a surefire way to get blacklisted as a corona-carrier. It’s hard to be in an auditorium with hundreds of other people without someone ending up a “confirmed” case. In such a case, everyone who attended may be forced to check into the nearest COVID jail.

And above all…

…decide on the one thing you can do to help end this tyranny before we are all living in permanent containment facilities as I depict it my forthcoming novel (set in the year 2027). I’m not trying to predict the future, but prevent it.

Right now, though, we can use the five above tactics to outwit the medical police state at their own totalitarian plans.
