Gang Of Monkeys Attacks Lab Assistant, Escapes With Coronavirus Test Samples

A gang of monkeys attacked a laboratory assistant and escaped with a batch of coronavirus blood test samples, it has been reported.

The bizarre incident saw the troop of primates launch their assault near Meerut Medical College in Delhi, India.

According to local media, the animals then snatched COVID-19 blood test samples that had been taken from three patients and fled.

One of the monkeys was later spotted in a tree chewing one of the sample collection kits, the Times of India reported - adding that test samples from the patients had to be taken again.

The undamaged kits were later recovered, the Meerut medical college superintendent, Dheeraj Raj, told AFP.

Britman's example was of a for profit company testing for antibodies. Completely different than testing for active carriers of the virus. Also, per the link it was ruled out the outcome was due to more testing of younger people. It appears to be because of older, more at risk people taking better precautions. Masks, social distancing, etc. From my experience here, this seems pretty logical. Most of the younger people are partying, no masks, no distancing.

Could you please point to the location in the article were it stated the test was not for antibodies and looked for the actual virus?  I could not find that.

Second, a quote from the medrxiv website.  

"Caution: Preprints are preliminary reports of work that have not been peer-reviewed. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information. Addiction Medicine. Allergy and Immunology. Cardiovascular Medicine. Dentistry and Oral Medicine."

In other words, its "news" but not supported by peer reviewed or should not yet be taken as "factual".

First paragraph of the article ;
"Half of all new corona infections in Washington are now occurring in people under the age of 40"

The key word being "new". Antibody tests examine past infections.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8369241/Sweden-highest-death-rate-capita-country-world-week-data-shows.html

From the headline in the link above.

The country had 5.59 deaths for every million people on a rolling seven day average in the week to May 29
That rate is 11 times higher than the world average of 0.49 deaths, stats show

A quote from the article

That rate is an astonishing 11 times higher than the world average of 0.49 deaths for every million people over the same period

So, question is why pick just a seven day period?  

Next question, how does Sweden stack up in overall cases of the Virus compared to others.

Sweden is number 23 in cases per 1M population.  The US is number 11

So what about mortality rate.  Sweden is number 12 and the US is number 49

So what about testing per 1M population  Sweden is number 54 and the US is 34

Data is from the following website which I can not confirm or deny is accurate, but its been there since the beginning.

That should be a surprise to no one.  The intent of the shut downs are to slow the rate not to lower the eventual rate.  Whether Sweden's approach was successful will not be seen until it's over and we compare totals.  Of course we should also compare economic and cultural damages.

Looks like we're in the lead so far with numbers, dollar loss and cultural damage.  It'll cost the ChiComs big time, tho.  As it should.

This may have been addressed in the thread on Face Masks but I just saw this.  It was reported on the local news website today. 


It's official. All Virginians must wear face masks while inside public places.

Northam made the announcement on Tuesday during a coronavirus press briefing, stating that everyone will need to wear masks inside stores, barbershops, restaurants, city buildings, on public transportation or anywhere where people can congregate.

https://www.wltx.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/its-official-all-virginians-must-wear-face-masks-while-inside-public-places/291-4ce07d38-8385-4828-9110-9d5b8356b87e?fbclid=IwAR3xEI3vnhPs3-cdI8DU0je9fRaeqb8FfivXF3DqE-P_-oWphfTHHgrGF-s

There is a law in VA against wearing masks to conceal the identify of the person, but the law (code. 18.2-422. Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places; exception), has the following exception. 

the declaration of a disaster or state of emergency by the Governor in response to a public health emergency where the emergency declaration expressly waives this section, defines the mask appropriate for the emergency, and provides for the duration of the waiver. The violation of any provisions of this section is a Class 6 felony.

It would be curious to see if the Governor's declaration has a specific duration, as is required by the above code.

I've been posting about the flawed test for a month.

now to confirm, my mother's assisted living home which was locked down before anybody was locking down, tested everybody last wk because the corrupt state of NJ required it.  She told me today that the state is coming back to test everyone again, because EVERYBODY came back positive from last wks test. HOWEVER zero residents are sick and none have been sick all of this time.
the hoax is being exposed. are people listening?

The news is not reporting things like this since it goes against the narrative. So they cannot hear what is not reported, only a few care to dig and find the truth the rest go along like fine Americans.

Seems the rioters, except for Antifa dont seem to worried about it, since no one is wearing a mask but them.  Wink

I also wonder since there is so much push back and the threat is so little if they will still push for a vaccine and make it mandatory or elective?

Coronavirus: The mystery of asymptomatic 'silent spreaders'

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52840763

For some unexplained reason, I thought that was the case with most flu like diseases.

So what is new about that?   Why now?   

Depending on which CDC site you visit, the current number of persons in the USA that have died and had their death listed as caused by COVID19 is 84,735 or 103,700. 

We are suppose to be in a steep decline period where the virus will not be as easily dispersed and or losses its potency. 

So, two questions. 

Where does the virus hide in the off season? 

And, is it more about control then anything else?

If I can control you, I win.  Freedom is gone.  Next pandemic (and there will be one), what happens? 

And, I remind you once again of the 1968-69 H3N2 virus.  There were an estimated 100,000 deaths in the US (equivalent to 165,000 in today's population numbers) and over 1,000,000 deaths worldwide.  Today we have 374,000 deaths worldwide (and yes you can't trust the numbers from some countries but then you might well have had a similar problem in 1968).

UN 2030 Agenda

Goal 3) Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Translation: Mandate 100+ vaccines for all children and adults at gunpoint, threatening parents with arrest and imprisonment if they refuse to cooperate. Push heavy medication use on children and teens while rolling out "screening" programs. Call mass medication "prevention" programs and claim they improve the health of citizens.

Total enslavement of the planet by 2030
As the UN document says, "We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030."

If you read the full document and can read beyond the fluffery and public relations phrases, you'll quickly realize that this UN agenda is going to be forced upon all the citizens of the world through the invocation of government coercion. Nowhere does this document state that the rights of the individual will be protected. Nor does it even acknowledge the existence of human rights granted to individuals by the Creator. Even the so-called "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" utterly denies individuals the right to self defense, the right to medical choice and the right to parental control over their own children.

The UN is planning nothing less than a global government tyranny that enslaves all of humanity while calling the scheme "sustainable development" and "equality."

Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals…

RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”  (enemy is the American people)

Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

Prof. Karl Friston: "80% Of Brits Not Even Susceptible To COVID-19"

As the threat of COVID-19 quickly fades from foreground and the damage from governments’ experimental panic-driven ‘lockdown’ measures, some experts are now asking an important question: why do different countries achieved such vastly different results in terms of fatalities due to Coronavirus?

The answers to this question will undoubtedly destroy official claims that the COVID lockdown was somehow science-based, let alone justified.

As it turns out, a large percentage of the population were never susceptible to this virus.

In other words: the threat was completely overblown, and lockdown and social distancing policies have never been based in reality.

Influential Covid-19 model uses flawed methods and shouldn’t guide U.S. policies, critics say

https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/17/influential-covid-19-model-uses-flawed-methods-shouldnt-guide-policies-critics-say/


new cases +22,268    total deaths 110,173    new deaths +1,031

Antibody tests for COVID-19 wrong up to half the time, CDC says

CDC warns antibody testing still too inaccurate to use for coronavirus-related policy decisions

CDC: Coronavirus antibodies could give "short-term immunity," but more data is needed

A woman says she’s had 8 positive coronavirus tests in 50 days. How long can it really take to recover?

The Washington Post: Sweden Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell Says Covid-19 Policy Allowed Too Many Deaths
Swedish authorities have consistently denied that they were aiming to achieve full-population immunity by keeping much of their public life humming as usual. They said that if they protected the elderly and other vulnerable groups while allowing others to carry on, the country might be more resilient in the face of a second wave of infections and avoid the economic chaos of a total shutdown. Deaths in Sweden, though, have been eight times higher than in Denmark and 19 times higher than in Norway, even though Sweden is only double each neighbors’ size. (Birnbaum, 6/4)

Much of the criticism around Sweden's response has focused on the high death rates in care homes. T

You all remember the Pool party at the Lake of the OZarks Memorial day Weekend - the one that had all the experts saying there would be a massive spike in cases from all those people not observing social distancing ?

Well, there has been ONE case coming from that party.

This leads to the 3 possible reasons -
1. There were a bunch of folks there who didnot have the virus
2. Maybe there were cases, but they were all asymptomatic
3. A bunch of people lied about having the virus.

I  would guess #1.

Coronavirus: The mystery of asymptomatic 'silent spreaders'

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52840763

For some unexplained reason, I thought that was the case with most flu like diseases.

So what is new about that?   Why now?   

Depending on which CDC site you visit, the current number of persons in the USA that have died and had their death listed as caused by COVID19 is 84,735 or 103,700. 

We are suppose to be in a steep decline period where the virus will not be as easily dispersed and or losses its potency. 

So, two questions. 

Where does the virus hide in the off season? 

And, is it more about control then anything else?

If I can control you, I win.  Freedom is gone.  Next pandemic (and there will be one), what happens? 

And, I remind you once again of the 1968-69 H3N2 virus.  There were an estimated 100,000 deaths in the US (equivalent to 165,000 in today's population numbers) and over 1,000,000 deaths worldwide.  Today we have 374,000 deaths worldwide (and yes you can't trust the numbers from some countries but then you might well have had a similar problem in 1968).



so around 100K deaths, give or take, now in 2020 vs. 1968/69 so about equal.  Was the entire US shut down on lockdown in 1968?  NOPE!    why then in 2020?   uglystupid2    I can see the point really can for what they did for the most part saving am sure 50K US lives or so, maybe, just a guess, but enough is enough already.   the economic impact IMO far outweighs the more deaths from this virus.

The concept of social distancing as a mitigation of virus spread was popularized around 2004.  I believe this was the first time it had been widely applied.  I hope it goes down as a failed experiment.

Couples "Should Wear Masks During Sex" In COVID World, 'Experts' Advise

Researchers at Harvard University examined the probabilities of contracting COVID-19 during sex. And to lower transmission risk, they determined people engaged in lovemaking should wear masks and avoid kissing.

Ok guys you have been doing it wrong and I know you all will conform with this.  2funny

Considering all the STDs out there (as well as KungFlu), it would just be safer for both parties to fully climb into giant lawn and leaf bags during sex.  You shouldn't need this with a spouse, but you never know.

Course, it's likely that doing this puts both of you right out the mood.  That or you'd be laughing so hard, you just give up.

"SPEEDWAY DECLARES RACE A “PROTEST” TO SKIRT N.C. GOV. COOPER’S (D) CORONAVIRUS RULES, DRAWS 2,000 ATTENDEES
by Kevin Ryan

A North Carolina speedway drew a crowd of more than 2,000 spectators in defiance of the state’s coronavirus restrictions after declaring the race a “protest.”

A day earlier, Gov. Roy Cooper (D) sent a letter to Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson demanding that the sheriff enforce his executive order at ACE Speedway prohibiting crowds of more than 25 people.

“ACE Speedway has continuously and flagrantly violated the plain and unambiguous language of the phase 2 order,” the letter said, imploring the Sheriff to stop the upcoming race.

But moments before the track opened yesterday, management placed a sign outside the speedway saying, “This Event is held in Peaceful Protest of Injustice and Inequality Everywhere.”

Two thousand people showed up and the race went on without interruption.

Sheriff Johnson did not stop the crowds from attending, citing the First Amendment of the constitution (the right to peaceably assemble)."

The way I read that,

“This Event is held in Peaceful Protest of Injustice and Inequality Everywhere.”
