Covid-19 News

Quote from stefan

These results is in line with what we expected. Very good news. maybe twise as many is immune then acording to antibodies.

In New York City a high percent of the population has antibodies. In Florida, serology tests seem to show that a smaller percent of the population is immune. I do not know the serology results from elsewhere in the U.S. For Florida, see the Testing tab at the Rogue Site: *

https://experience.arcgis.com/…dc3c48d885d1c643c195314e/

146,342 positive tests for the active disease, 9,575 positive antibody serology tests. Is this significant? I can't tell. I don't know whether the serology tests were given to a representative sample of the population. You are not going to find out from the State of Florida! They may know, but they will not tell. In Georgia things are so screwed up, they probably couldn't tell.

* Rogue, because it is run by the former head of epidemiology. They fired her for telling the public what was going on. She is getting information from insiders code named Badger, Hawk, Turtle and Teacup. That's where we are in 2020, in the so-called land of the free. We can't even get our governments to give us vital information that might prevent us from dying. Literally, life-or-death information. The governor and other officials think we have no right to see it, and they fire experts who reveal it. What a travesty! It would be unthinkable in any previous era. For middle class people anyway. Okay, not if you were a poor black person suffering from a treatable vitamin deficiency or venereal disease, in which case they let you die.

I guess the travesty is that the rest of us are now being treated by the 1% the way despised minorities used to be. We're all in the same boat now!

‘It’s frightening’: Doctors say half of ‘cured’ COVID patients still suffer

https://www.timesofisrael.com/…id-patients-still-suffer/

"woman tells The Times of Israel that a month after testing negative she has severe fatigue and anxiety"

"Recovered COVID patients are baffling doctors with complaints of freak pains, lungs that just won’t get back to normal, and a range of incapacitating psychological issues."

He stressed that his patients are not all newly recovered. “Some of them had coronavirus in March, so they may have been recovered for months,”

"Elderly patients who were badly stricken by the coronavirus, even if they had no previous respiratory issues, can find their lungs working at half capacity, long after testing negative"

It all makes me wonder what next year will be like. How many "recovered" patients will still have issues. Will it take a toll on the work force?

Quote from Shane D.

She was not the "former head of (Florida) epidemiology", but only a cog in the system. She has a degree in Journalism, and worked in the department.

Ah, I thought she claimed to be bigger. Anyway, she and her secret contacts are doing a public service, revealing things the state wants to hide.

Quote from Shane D.

It is voluntary compliance though. and no doubt there will be people who simply refuse to isolate themselves.

It is voluntary everywhere I know of, except perhaps China. Also, you don't have to answer any questions from the case trackers. They have plenty other fish to fry.

This seems to be a total outlier and the numbers should be checked.

Nearest I can figure it is an anti-vaccine leaning writer.

I don't think I am ready to think that not giving vaccines is real cause of reduced child deaths during the pandemic.

Gilead prices COVID-19 drug remdesivir at $2,340 per patient in developed nations

OUTRAGEOUS PRICE FOR A VERY MODEST DRUG'

In an open letter, Gilead Chief Executive Daniel O'Day said the price is well below the value it provides given that early hospital discharges could save around $12,000 per patient in the United States.

Patient advocates have argued that the cost should be lower since remdesivir was developed with financial support from the U.S. government.

A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been identified in China by scientists.

It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say.

The researchers are concerned that it could mutate further so that it can spread easily from person to person, and trigger a global outbreak.

While it is not an immediate problem, they say, it has "all the hallmarks" of being highly adapted to infect humans and needs close monitoring.

well the linked article refers to a not yet released article which shows that you simply can halve ifr due to the fact that twise as many develop t cell immunity than antiboddies. There is no simple test for t cell immunity.

I found the press release about the new corona findings in english tcell study. This means that the ifr is now inline with the epidimy models calculated earlier in sweden that was calibrated.

Lessons from the Lockdown—Why Are So Many Fewer Children Dying?

https://childrenshealthdefense…any-fewer-children-dying/

Could be a major blow for certain "dirty" children vaccines if confirmed by an uptrend with restart of vaccination. But usually the time of "a bad" reaction to vaccination is much longer than a few week. Simply bringing your newborn to a doctors place might expose it to an unhealthy environment.

Thus first rule: Do not (never!!) apply combination vaccinations (e.g. MMR) - this is only a trick to hide potential damage of a bad component. A rubella vaccination is anyway only needed for girls older than 16 years. Mumps is only needed for boys when they had no natural encounter until age 12.

Second rule: Do never give your child a vaccine with an adjuvant. This is the absolute most dirty trick of big pharma to make a few extra $ profit out of your kid. From a medical point of view an adjuvant is never needed. It only enables the use of a lower dose (=> extra return for big pharma) of the active (more expensive) component.

As you can calculate from the current average actual USA case/death (40'000/500) rate of the last week the true death rate is going down below 0.1%.

The rate for the current detected cases is 0.8%. But only 1/10 of the cases - at best - do show up as cases with symptoms and this still could be an overestimate of 50%.

It is now easy to predict that the USA SARS-CoV-9 mortality will be in the range of 0.04..0.08% and thus at the lower end of a flu.

The Excess mortality among average US citizen is also back to normal. Thus don't get fooled by press hyping singular mass spreaders.

But getting sick is no joke: You personally must know the medication that works e.g. Ivermectin/Heparin Doxycycline or HCQ, ACT,Doxy+zinc in mild cases. Do not trust that your doctor does know it. Today a large percentage of all doctors just treats you as a cash cow. (First action medication can also be: Just drink 0.5 1l of orange juice! no joke! - Hesperidin works!)

Even more important: If you cough - independent of the reason - do stay home and isolate! If you must cough in public do it into your upper arms sleeves if possible - even if you do wear a mask!!

Zero'th rule: Don't make decisions about your child's health based on what some internutter sez.

If you check the death statistic in sweden in worldmeter you would think that corona has dissapeared. But the thing is that deaths are reported two weeks back quite evenly spread and also there is a two week lag between being a hospital case and death. in all maybe a 3 to 4 weeks lag. So hold your horsers regarding low cfr.

This is a typical no-brainer influencer story without giving any real deep details. In fact the start of the disease is communicated along the official Chinese line! We know from Italiy (Thanks to an ultra fine sink water - Swiss - test!) that it was earlier etc.. HCQ - they claim - does not work "Gilead crap" after a fudged study is claimed to work. All cited for dumb readers. Not a single really good working drug is mentioned.

Seems to be the daily portion of shit the American need.

Quote from Shane D.

Don't be mislead when reading the latest sensational headline about hospitalizations spiraling out of control, and ICU beds near capacity.

Give me a break. Look at the number of hospitalizations in Georgia, or the situation in Texas:

https://www.ajc.com/news/coron…d/jvoLBozRtBSVSNQDDAuZxH/

https://www.cnn.com/videos/hea…eo/playlists/coronavirus/

Hospitals are in crisis in Texas, Florida and other states, and if cases continue to increase at this rate, they will be in other states. Those are facts, not sensational headlines. That is what HHS Sec. Azar himself said.

Quote from Zeus46

Don't make decisions about your child's health based on what some internutter sez.

The article of the article seems to point to reduced numbers of vaccines as the reason for lower deaths.

Someone should look at the numbers and the various causes of death. I would wonder if the rates of deaths are lower because the kids stayed home and not out having car accidents or being shot or mom is staying home giving the chicken soup or some other reason.

correlation is not causation

But it the lower numbers are interesting and it does look like a real decrease.
