Coronavirus $hit be getting real

[Leathel]

We have had a couple of winter events canned due to Covid 19 including one I try to get too, The Cold Kiwi......... We are out of lock down and no social distancing (no cases for 17 days now with loads of testing) just no international travel (some exceptions)

But the organisers set these events up in weekends and they lost too much organising time to set them up......the event is setup by a small club running working bee's

I will have to wait another yeah to do this event

BREAKING NEWS: WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ANNOUNCES THAT ASYMPTOMATIC SPREAD OF COVID "VERY RARE", UNDERMINING MAIN JUSTIFICATION FOR SHUTDOWNS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING
by Kevin Ryan

Much of the justification for the strict, wide-ranging shutdowns came from the health experts claiming that COVID-19 can be spread by people who don't have symptoms, and therefore everyone must be quarantined because anybody can be a spreader.

Today, however, the World Health Organization announced that asymptomatic spread of the coronavirus is "very rare". The news casts doubt on initial concerns by some researchers that the disease could be difficult to contain due to asymptomatic infections.

Much of the justification for the strict, wide-ranging shutdowns came from the health experts claiming that COVID-19 can be spread by people who don’t have symptoms, and therefore everyone must be quarantined because anybody can be a spreader.

Today, however, the World Health Organization announced that asymptomatic spread of the coronavirus is “very rare”. The news casts doubt on initial concerns by some researchers that the disease could be difficult to contain due to asymptomatic infections.

Perfectly logical since they now say


"Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, and tracking anyone who might have come into contact with them, Van Kerkhove said. She acknowledged that some studies have indicated asymptomatic or presymptomatic spread in nursing homes and in household settings."


So now that they have closed and damaged peoples lives and the narrative does not work anymore, ask yourself, what scenario would benefit them the most allow and mandate a vaccine and quarantine people or have a tracking app. The very one they are now proposing. With asymptomatic it is much less logical to track and quarantine individuals.


“What we really want to be focused on is following the symptomatic cases,” Van Kerkhove said. “If we actually followed all of the symptomatic cases, isolated those cases, followed the contacts and quarantined those contacts, we would drastically reduce” the outbreak.

Not only have they admitted they failed but they don't mention that they have NO reliable test and the tests are saying false positives. Not a big deal since it plays right into their scenario since all who test positive will be traced.

[scooperhsd]

Not only false positives, but also false negatives.

IOW , testing is about useless at this moment.

From the article on Sweden:

... about half of those deaths occurred among elderly people living in nursing homes, Reuters reported.

... Now, more than a month later, nursing homes still bear the brunt of Sweden's COVID-19 deaths.

The article largely quotes from NPR, a source in my opinion highly unreliable.  The article focuses on deaths from COVID-19 in Sweden implying that lockdown would have reduced deaths.  Lockdown was not originally claimed to reduce deaths but to slow the rate.  People who are susceptible to the virus are eventually going to catch it until the virus subsides (herd immunity?).  People in contained nursing homes in Sweden as in the United States gain no protection from lockdown.

We have been and continue to be fed crap that simply doesn't make sense by so called experts.

Considering the way the virus has spread worldwide, one would have to be extremely gullible to believe that asymptomatic people are not contributing to that spread.

OK, if you think only symptomatic people can spread the virus, I will color you gullible.  What shade is that?  

To those who are living in fear, that's too bad.  I haven't lost a wink of sleep because of the virus.  I do not think it's non-existent, or impossible to acquire.  I will continue to avoid large groups, and wash my hands more than I used to before its arrival.

Official statement on what is a covid death

IDPH Director explains how Covid deaths are classified

If you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means technically even if you died of a clear alternate cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it's still listed as a COVID death. So, everyone who's listed as a COVID death doesn't mean that that was the cause of the death, but they had COVID at the time of the death." Dr. Ezike outlined.

And it is NOT accurate.

[Jess from VA]

It's not accurate.  I spent a chunk of my professional life evaluating cause of death both for criminal and for administrative law VA disability purposes.  And this slapdash labeling is neither accurate nor truthful.

I died in a car wreck, but I also had a cold.  So the cold killed me? 

And when trying to scientifically study the disease from all angles, it doesn't help at all to add as many deaths as possible to the accounting.

WalMart observations from my local store this morning

Disinfectant wipes and spray limited to 1.

Store brand Crunchy peanut butter hasn't been in stock for a few weeks.

No brown rice apart from boil in the bag. Not very much white rice on the shelf.

All pot noodles absent.

Most boxes of pasta absent.

Half of the soups absent.

Not many paper products.

Plenty of meat but at the expected higher price.

Bread and butter pickles very limited.

Cans of beans, all types, very limited.

About half of the egg shelves were empty.

There was more but I can't remember.

The shortages could be due to lack of staff to fill the shelves? Hiccups in supply chain? People are still stocking up just in case?

I did some "strategic" purchasing in anticipation of there being a next wave / surge.

It may be that a future lock down may be more draconian than that just experienced.

[Jess from VA]

Paul, I live in a pretty busy urban area.  I would think this means that our (Walmart) supply would be better than most, but our population also means that some shelves will be empty (or nearly so) regardless of good supply.

I do most all my food (and other) shopping at this Walmart, and during this time, our food supply has been widely divergent.  Time before last, there was almost no milk (usually there's hundreds of gallons).  Today was the first frozen potatoes I've seen in a month.  And so on.  I have not seen one can of any frozen juice since the start.

I never do weekends, it's just too busy.  This makes Monday the worst day of all supply-wise. 

My point is, there are probably optimal times to find good supply, if you study on it.

I've been spending more money than normal, just to stock up and also to have more things around the house to munch on.  Like 8 large bags of beef jerky.  Man that stuff is steep, but it's better than popcorn.

60% Of People Naturally Resistant To SARS-COV2, New Study Reveals

[98valk]

https://discover.grasslandbeef.com/blog/is-covid-19-an-oxygen-problem/?utm_source=Bluecore&utm_campaign=Newsletter_20200614&utm_medium=email&obem=CwOjNw_KkrAzSgTvC4pdNkUs5TmQN0xKkRhr0R8_Lg0%3D&bc_lcid=t5447633776836608lw6559717948293120li0


For months, doctors presumed that coronavirus exclusively targeted the lungs...

If you follow that line of thought, severe cases of coronavirus cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Then a build-up of fluid in the lungs decreases oxygen absorption, and patients eventually end up on a ventilator.

In a previous Doctor's House Call, you learned ventilators can be life-threatening.

Today, I'll share a study that introduces a startling new reason why...

And I'll show you why diabetics hold the secret to overcOming chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's.

Let me explain.
Why Does COVID-19 Act Like Malaria?

Researchers from Sichuan University found that COVID-19 attacks hemoglobin — the part of your red blood cells that carry oxygen — the same way that malaria does.1

According to the study's lead researcher, the virus:

    Hijacks red blood cells
    Attacks the hemoglobin
    Destroys the iron within the hemoglobin
    And inserts itself instead

Without iron, your hemoglobin can't carry oxygen. Your hypoXic lung cells sustain "extremely intense poisoning and inflammation," the researcher wrote.

As a result, the lungs — and eventually all organs — become stressed out and inflamed. ARDS and subsequent organ failure could be attributed to this.

In other words, the deadly mechanism behind COVID-19 is NOT a failure of oxygen absorption.

It's a failure of oxygen delivery.

In several studies, scientists have found high levels of ferritin in the blood of patients suffering with severe COVID-19.

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron.

And high ferritin levels are an indication of a viral infection.2
