New normal 

A form of gaslight to invaludate your need to reverse an abnormal situation. It's to prevent you to fight to get your freedom back.
The covid 19 restrictions on your breathing, freedom to go out, see your loved ones, work, choose medical interventions freely... Are not temporary to flatter the curve. This is the new normal. Give up your human rights, body autonomy, and children. Accept segregation with the vaccine passport (it's not racist this time, but for profits, so it's ok.)

The government are dictators now, it's for your own good because you're too stupid to do self care and must be blamed for everything, welcome to the new world order.

Obey or die.

Covid is of the common cold family virus, with 99% chances of survival. But feel terror and obey us. Don't take cold medicine or grandma's bone broth soup, take the vaccine and if it doesn't work let yourself die so we can scare people into obedience with manipulated statistics and alarmust predictions, and asymptomatic cases.

This abnormal painful torture isn't going back to the abusive dark ages, this is the new normal. Accept it without fighting back for freedom.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
