"In a just a few weeks time, the fate of the entire planet seems to have been placed under the command of the World Health Organization and its leader, Tedros Gherbreyesus. But over the last few days his handling of the coronavirus crisis and his relationships with China have put the chairman of the organization under heavy fire, with many calling for his resignation.[1] So who is this man who supposedly has our destiny in his hands?

During one of the many Covid-19 press conferences at the White House, Dr. Fauci showed all his appreciation for Tedros Ghebreyesus, the new hero:

“Tedros is really an outstanding person. I’ve known him from the time that he was the minister of Health in Ethiopia. The WHO has done very well under his leadership.”[2]

But after what seemed to have been many ‘blunders’ in the announcements and recommendations of the WHO since the pandemic started, many now see him walking the walk of shame, rather than the walk of fame.

Born on March 3rd, 1965 in Asmara (Ethiopia), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was elected Director-General of the WHO in 2017.

He is the first African to head the health agency and the first not to be a doctor. He holds a B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Asmara in Eritrea and a PhD in Community Health from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom in 2000 and served as Ethiopia’s Health Minister from 2005 to 2012.

From 2009 to 2011, Tedros Ghebreyesus was also the Director of the Global Fund, a program to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, initiated by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as the head of the UNAIDS Program Coordinating Board.

A member of the Board of the GAVI Alliance for Immunization, Tedros Ghebreyesus was further closely associated with the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton AIDS Initiative (CHAI). Smiling and poised, he is portrayed as a humble, compassionate figure, a benefactor to humanity, dedicated to his heavy responsibilities.

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)
It is therefore rather astonishing to discover that Ghebreyesus’ political career began at the politburo of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPFL), a terrorist organization of the Tigray minority ethnic group (6% of the Ethiopian population), listed in the U.S. Homeland Security Global Terrorism Database for a series of kidnappings, bombings and armed robberies.[3]

The United States has classified the TPFL as a Tier III terrorist organization.[4]
https://vaccineimpact.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-1.37.11-PM.png

In its 1975 manifesto, the TPFL had declared an “eternal war” on neighboring populations, mainly the Amhara and Oromo ethnic groups, representing 30% and 34% of the population.

After several years of guerrilla warfare, the TPFL overthrew the Mengistu regime with the help of another Eritrean liberation movement, and took power in 1991 as a branch of a single Marxist-inspired party, the Ethiopian People’s Democratic Revolutionary Front (EPDRF), which is only democratic in name.

Human Rights Organizations repeated alarms
Amnesty International denounced its political violence for decades.[5]

A report published in an international law journal[6] claimed that in spite of efforts to disguise its dictatorship, the TPFL was actually “abusing the notions of self-determination and democracy to plunder Ethiopia.”

This was also the alarm raised by a document of the Oakland Institute which estimated that the $3.5 billion aid funds received by Ethiopia, (60% of the national budget), were mainly used for political repression.[7]

This was again confirmed by Human Rights Watch (HWR), who accused the European Parliament in 2016 of overlooking the numerous violations committed by the Ethiopian regime it was funding.[8]

HWR claimed that under the leadership of the EPRDF, the government had diverted funds from international aid programs, using them as political weapons to control the population, punish dissent and repress its opponents. Programs for food aid, agriculture, micro-credit or healthcare exclusively benefited certain ethnic groups, while others had been systematically deprived of them.

Genocide accusations
Perhaps one could give Tedros Ghebreyesus the benefit of the doubt, imagining him as a noble reformer who, having strayed at the beginning, would have turned into a devoted humanitarian bringing his light into the darkness of a bad regime.

That illusion quickly fades away when one discovers the damning dossier presented by the Amhara Professional Union (APU), accusing him of having carried out a real genocidal policy as Ethiopia’s Minister of Health.[9]

Indeed, the Amhara ethnic group lost more than 2.5 million people between the 1997 and 2007 censuses. While the other major ethnic groups grew by a yearly average of 2.6%, the Amharas had a slower population increase, with only 1.9%.

They did not benefit from the same health services and were not allocated equal resources as the dominating Tigray population, except for one program, a contraceptive campaign for which the Amhara appeared to have been on top of the list. The Tigray population had 5 times better health coverage in terms of infrastructure and number of healthcare providers.

In contrast, the Amhara population had a much higher use of injectable contraceptives, such as Dep-Provera (19% Tigray, 29% Amhara) while overall receiving less information about family planning and contraceptive methods (Tigray received 2 to 3 times more information on TV, Radio and Print).

Depo-Provera is a highly controversial product that received a black box warning[10, 11] in the U.S. for an increased incidence of osteoporosis and higher risk of breast cancer.

But it has also been associated with a rise in AIDS cases and difficulties to regain fertility after prolonged use, two conditions that also seemed prevailing among the Amhara population. The APU accused the Ethiopian government of racial discrimination by pushing the use of Depo onto their woman without their informed consent.[12]

According to another report “Depo-Provera Deadly Reproductive Violence Against Woman,“[13] family planning promoting this drug in Africa engages in de facto discrimination policies, making false claims about the product’s effects and failing to inform women about its harms and side-effects.

Such products have been restricted or even banned in Europe and the U.S., but they are still included in family planning of the WHO, and programs such as FP2020, supported and led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

This led to heavy criticism[14] from health groups and human rights advocates.

Perhaps the Trump administration also took some of these arguments into account when it announced it would stop financing the U.N. Population Fund and policies that perform or provide information on abortion.

Bill Gates said he was ‘deeply troubled’ by the announced U.S. cuts, but at the international summit on family planning that was held in London later in 2017, the U.K., the IMF, World Bank and international NGO’s committed to a new funding for a total of $2,5 billion.

Tedros Ghebreyesus, who attended the meeting as the new leader of the WHO, promised to “personally champion the issue of sexual and reproductive rights as a top priority,“[15] hereby reaffirming his personal interest and involvement in birth control policies… and their dubious consequences.

Anything but cholera
But Tedros Ghebreyesus is also known for covering up of several cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia (2006, 2009, 2011), by relabeling them “Acute Watery Diarrhea” (AWD).[16]

The report of a WHO field expert on the 2006 outbreak, however, certified that Vibrio cholerae had indeed been identified as the causal agent.[17]

Tedros preferred not to damage the image of his party and his country. By refusing to declare the outbreak, he deprived these populations of the basic help they needed, such as re-hydration measures and sanitation of water.

The same scenario was repeated in 2009 and 2011, even under his WHO leadership, when he ignored a massive outbreak in Sudan, Ethiopia’s conflicting neighbor, according to an open letter signed by a team of U.S. doctors and Genocide Watch.[18]

Chairman of the Global Fund, making money
The Global Fund is a partnership led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. In July 2009, Tedros was elected Board Chair of the Fund for a two-year term. In a profile published in April 2010, The Lancet reported that he was “a household name at the Global Fund Secretariat” and that his achievements led to name Ethiopia as an exemplary high-performing country.

A surprising conclusion, when one finds out that during his leadership, the use of international aid funds he supervised was very questionable.

In 2012, an audit[19] of the Global Fund looked at the expenses of the aids, tuberculosis and malaria program in several African countries, including Ethiopia who had received $1.3 billion in grants.

Inspector General John Parson who was in charge of the audit, revealed a flagrant lack of transparency, numerous shortcomings in the accounting and management of the funds, to the point of suggesting a minimum payback of $7 millions to the organization.

Above all, the investigation also showed a huge discrepancy between the results presented and the reality observed in Ethiopia during the field visits.

For example, 77% of the medical centers built did not have drinking water and 32% did not have sanitary facilities. Only 14% had a microscope or a delivery table, and only 12% had a pharmacy.

The report should have led to a series of measures ensuring more transparency and efficacy in the management of the program, but instead the Inspector General and his findings were dismissed.

Obviously, good relationships with African governments leaders had a far greater importance.

Bloody Minister of Foreign Affairs
Then in 2012, at the end of his term in the Health Department, Tedros Ghebreyesus was appointed head of Foreign Affairs (from 2012 to 2016), a further confirmation that he had always remained at the heart of the Party’s decisions, and was still serving its goals with dubious methods.

For example, in 2013, when Saudi Arabia chose to send back immigrants from different nations, the only country that took no steps to repatriate its nationals was Ethiopia.

This inaction, for which he was responsible, led to violence against Ethiopians by the Saudis.[20]

In 2014, Tedros, the former TPLF terrorist, also organized the kidnapping, extradition and condemnation of several dissident leaders and hundreds of asylum seekers in Yemen, with the complicity of the Yemeni government.[21]

WHO election backed by Gates and China
https://vaccineimpact.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/04/tedros-xi.png

One wonders how such a man could have become Director General of the WHO. No doubt the work carried out by the American communication agency Mercury Public Affairs (specializing in political campaigns) in preparing the presentation of his candidacy was effective, both in terms of watering down his sulphurous image and in pushing him as ‘the voice of developing countries.‘

However, some representatives of the WHO member states did not buy it.

When the candidates were interviewed before the votes, the Brazilian Ambassador asked Tedros how he intended to “represent the voice of developing countries by proposing a program that was much more aligned with the priorities of the countries of the North,” hereby referring to his approach of health through security (pandemic preparedness), and to treating ‘equality’ in terms of “coverage” (vaccines), rather than in the development of universal health systems (for example medical infrastructure and training or access to water).

He also remarked that Tedros had not proposed anything concrete in terms of sustainable development for vulnerable countries.[22]

In fact, this “northern agenda” was very much aligned with the priorities of the Global Health Security Agenda, promoted by WHO’s four main funders and influencers: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (14%), the United States (24%), the U.K. (11%) and GAVI, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization which was again mainly funded by Gates (17%), the U.S. (11%) and the U.K. (31%).Clearly, the influence Bill Gates exerts on the WHO cannot be understated, as we are reminded by an article in the mainstream journal Politico published a few weeks before the vote “Meet the World’s Most Powerful Doctor: Bill Gates“[23] stating

“Some billionaires are satisfied with buying themselves an island. Bill Gates got a UN agency in Geneva.”

Insiders said he is treated like a head of state, not only at the WHO, but also at the G20 summit, and has an outsized influence over the agenda of the organization.

While the World Health Assembly was in session, the Trump administration unveiled its proposed budget which would cut the annual global health budget by 26%, defunding health programs favored by Gates and the Obama administration, such as HIV/malaria/tuberculosis of the Global Fund and family planning.

Needless to say, Tedros was Bill Gates’ favorite candidate, given their strong ties in the Global Fund and Family Planning policies.

But Tedros’ election at the WHO in May 2017, was also backed by China. As part of the Ethiopian government, he already had built a long-time collaboration with Beijing.

To start with, the TPLF is a Marxist-inspired movement that engages in the same kind of authoritarian politics.

But also, China has made huge investments in Ethiopia. The Chinese have developed nearly 70% of the Ethiopian infrastructure and are financing the construction of the headquarters of the future African Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

For its part, Ethiopia occupies a strategic position, as it is the gateway to the African continent, when coming from the East.

No wonder that in March 2017, two months ahead of the WHO election, Ghebreyesus was invited to deliver a keynote speech at the Beijing University. Interestingly Bill Gates took part in same event, with a talk on “Looking to the Future: Innovation, Philanthropy and Global Leadership“[24] in which he summarized his partnerships with the Chinese government in four essential areas: health, agriculture, computer technologies and even nuclear energy. Here are a few eye-opening quotes, showing that Gates clearly invests in China as the world new leader:

“China is primed to step up as a global leader.

It’s great to see China stepping up to fill the leadership vacuum. It is uniquely well-equipped to do so. No other country has accomplished what China has achieved in the last few decades (…) at a scale and speed unprecedented in human history.

And by encouraging investment through innovative financing mechanisms like the China-Africa Development Fund, China is strengthening not only Africa’s economic capacity, but also, over time, markets for Chinese goods.

China has a great opportunity to be a global leader in health innovation. With its rich pool of talented scientists and its capacity to develop new drugs and vaccines, China was a clear choice for us to locate a new Global Health Drug Discovery Institute. This institute—a collaboration between our foundation, the Beijing Municipal Government, and Tsinghua University—will help speed the discovery and development of new lifesaving medicines.

A lot of the most successful entrepreneurs, like Jack Ma, Pony Ma, Charles Chen Yidan and Niu Gensheng, have helped create the world’s second largest pool of individual wealth. And now they’re taking steps to get involved and give back…”

But Gates is obviously not the only ally of China. Its ties with a large part of the western globalist elite deserves a closer investigation.

Looking at the board members[25] of the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management, hosted by Wang Qishan the vice-president of the Republic of China, we find individuals such as Henry Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs, Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase, Corbat from Citigroup, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Laurence Fink, and the CEOs of Dell, McKinsey, IBM, Walmart, General Motors, BlackRock, Tata and many others.

What are they really doing on the board of a Chinese University? Doesn’t it rather look like a global strategic board?

The role of Tedros in the Coronavirus pandemic
These connections do explain why the WHO management of the Covid-19 crisis has largely been influenced by Beijing and why Tedros openly praised the Chinese government after his meeting with Xi Jinping.

“We appreciate the seriousness of China’s response to this epidemic, especially the strength of its leadership[26] and the transparency they demonstrated.”[27]

or

“China exemplifies new standards in epidemic preparedness and response.”[28]

He further called the draconian quarantine measures taken by the Beijing government “heroic,“[29] while paradoxically insisting on keeping air traffic with China open.

On Feb. 3, Tedros rebuked the U.S. and other countries that had closed off their borders when it became clear that the communist nation wasn’t containing the virus’ spread.

“There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. We call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence-based and consistent,“ he said.

Although most airlines quickly suspended their flights, Ethiopian Airlines is one of the few that maintained connections with China throughout the crisis.[30]

The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation reported a phone call[31] between Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and Xi Jinping confirming once again the close ties between the two countries.

“This phone call as well as the two letters of sympathies from the Prime Minister attest to the profound friendship and mutual support between China and Ethiopia as comprehensive strategic cooperative partners. Ethiopia has followed WHO recommendations and kept its normal ties and exchanges with China. China appreciates such expression of confidence.”

Control over Africa’s health and economy is obviously an important stake in the management of the coronavirus epidemic. Just a few days ago, the Trump administration warned over Chinese spying in the future African Center for Disease Control facility, saying it would stop funding if Beijing goes on with building its headquarter in Ethiopia.

The Financial Times[32] quoted an official of the U.S. administration,

“It’s a threat to Africa. Africa has vast amounts of genomic data and the Chinese want to build the CDC to eventually steal the data from all the other centres,” referring to five regional Africa CDC hubs, “they handle high-risk viruses, health crises, research and data collection.”

Washington said the U.S. had invested $900m to support health in Africa over the last 15 years, and had given the African CDC $14m in its first year of operation, in 2017.

But the Chinese already went ahead and put $200m in the construction of the ‘bugged’ African Union’s Conference Center which currently houses the African CDC secretariat. It seems China and the U.S. had found a cooperation agreement on the issue under the Obama administration, but it could not last for long under the Trump presidency.

We could also wonder what role the WHO and China are really playing in the Italian crisis
At the beginning of the epidemic, Ghebreyesus called on the Italians “not to stigmatize the Chinese” by insisting that the time was “not for judgment, but for solidarity.”

The valuable recommendations of the WHO director thus barred the Italian government from confining people returning from China.

Worse still, the Mayor of the city of Florence, which has an important number of Chinese immigrants, was encouraged to launch a national campaign inviting his fellow citizens to “hug a Chinese in the street!“[33]

But such a complacency towards China is also due to the fact that last year the Salvini government was the first G7 country to sign an economic partnership with China in the Belt and Road project, that would give them direct access to the Mediterranean.

Now that Salvini’s party left the government last fall, the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis probably urged the new majority to reassess its ties with Beijing.

Italy then suddenly became the first Western government to stop its flights from China. But the country might pay the price of its infidelity as it currently stands very isolated.

European partners refused to come to the rescue and China is trying to maintain its hold by sending medical help and experts to solve the crisis, planning to help reconstruction after the country collapses.

In the meantime, the WHO which has its European headquarters in Venice, one of the main affected areas, has delegated one of its main experts to take control of the pandemic response.

But the number of death cases in Italy is still soaring and is by far exceeding other countries, while no convincing scientific explanation has been offered, even if factors such as an older population and a lack of intensive care units have aggravated the situation and if case reporting is biased.

Last month, Russia sent out a whole team of experts and military doctors to help northern Italy deal with the crisis, but the team will certainly put their efforts into investigating what is truly going on.

In any case, it is now obvious that the WHO and its leaders have a pandemic response agenda that has more to do with global government and world leadership than health.

Bill Gates seems to be leading the initiative with the CEPI fund to hasten the production of vaccines.

He is pushing his global governance agenda with his army of devoted health experts, such as the members of the Coronavirus Response Task Force, Fauci and Birx, who are long-time close partners of the Global Fund AIDS campaign.

And with their Beijing ties, it is no wonder that Fauci refused to answer the press who asked his opinion on Tedros praising China.[34]

The chairman of the World Health Organization is serving Africa on a silver plate to the new leaders of a corporate – communist inspired – global government.

Tedros, you are unmasked."

Facebook to Warn Users about “Fake” COVID19 Cures – Only W.H.O. Approved “Cures” Allowed
https://vaccineimpact.com/2020/facebook-to-warn-users-about-fake-covid19-cures-only-w-h-o-approved-cures-allowed/

"Facebook’s war against what they consider “fake news” is suddenly taking on a new level of effort on their part.

Besides using their own “fact checking” services to censor information they don’t like, they are now taking the unprecedented action of actually notifying users who have previously “liked, reacted to or commented on” coronavirus cures that they consider “dangerous and false information.”

As NPR reports:In a new move to stop the spread of dangerous and false information about the coronavirus, Facebook will start telling people when they’ve interacted with posts about bogus cures, hoaxes and other false claims.

How does Facebook determine what are “bogus cures”?

In the coming weeks, Facebook users who liked, reacted to or commented on potentially harmful debunked content will see a message in their news feeds directing them to the World Health Organization’s “Myth busters” page. There, the WHO dispels some of the most common falsehoods about the pandemic. (Full article.)

Facebook is teaming up with WHO to squelch free speech regarding WHO non-approved coronavirus cures.

This will certainly affect many of the articles published here on Health Impact News. Back in January this year (2020) we published a press release from Orthomolecular Medicine News Service regarding Vitamin C and its use in treating the Coronavirus. See:

Vitamin C Protects Against Coronavirus
It soon went viral on Facebook, until Facebook labeled it as “Fake News.”

Facebook partners with a website called “Lead Stories” to discredit news stories they do not want becoming popular on Facebook. Health Impact News is a popular target of “Lead Stories.”
https://healthimpactnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/Lead-stories-Vitamin-C-coronavirus.jpg

The main problem with this, unfortunately, is that it is not “fake”! Not only have hospitals in China used Vitamin C therapy to fight COVID19 (See: More Vitamin C Studies Approved in China to Fight Coronavirus: Therapy Censored in U.S.), but hospitals in the U.S. are also using the same therapy. See:

New York Hospitals Treating Coronavirus Patients with Vitamin C
This should come as no surprise to those following the trail leading to the global elites who want a mandatory vaccine developed for COVID-19, led by Bill Gates, who provides more funding to the WHO than anyone else, or any other country.

Facebook founder and owner Mark Zuckerberg, testifying under oath before Congress last year (2019), admitted that Facebook censors anything negative regarding vaccines. See:

Facebook Owner Admits to Congress that They are Censoring Vaccine Safety Information
Zuckerberg, along with Bill Gates and many other American Billionaires, sits on the board of the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management in China, hosted by Wang Qishan the vice-president of the Republic of China and established in 2000, with annual meetings. (Source.)

As we recently published in our article: Is W.H.O. Director Tedros a Terrorist? Global Ties to Bill Gates, Clinton Foundation, Dr. Fauci, China and Genocide, China and Bill Gates have been instrumental in installing Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a former terrorist in Africa, as the first non-doctor director of the World Health Organization, in their effort to reduce the world’s population.

https://healthimpactnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/mark-zuckerberg-bill-gates.jpg

It would appear that China and Bill Gates’ influence over the WHO is now also involved in the censoring of non-vaccine cures for COVID19 on Facebook as well."

Waves Of Mutilation: Medical Tyranny And The Cashless Society
April 10, 2020
Brandon Smith, Alt-Market

Back in 2014 during the Ebola scare in the US, I published an article warning about how a
global pandemic could be used by the elites as cover for the implementation of an economic
collapse as well as martial law measures in western nations.

My immediate concern was the way in which a viral outbreak could be engineered or exploited
as a rationale for a level of social control that the public would never accept under normal cir-
cumstances. And this could be ANY viral outbreak, not just Ebola. The point is the creation of
an 'invisible enemy' that the populace cannot quantify & defend itself against without constant
government oversight.

The Ebola event six years ago seems to have been a dry run for what is happening today. I be-
lieve it is entirely deliberate & I will explain why in this article, but either way, governments have

Prince Harry criticised after claiming coronavirus crisis is not as bad as public are being told

In an interview with the Declassifed podcast, the Duke of Sussex said that things in the UK are "better than we are led to believe through certain corners of the media".

His remarks were labelled "outrageous" by Professor Karol Sikora, who asked: "What are his qualifications for making these comments - other than deserting his country in its hour of need?"

Speaking on the podcast, Harry said: "I think what has happened especially in the UK is the very best of the human spirit and it's proving that things are better than we are led to believe through certain corners of the media.

"Certainly when you're in isolation it can be very worrying when you're sitting there and the only information you're getting is from certain news channels, but then if you're out and about and you're on the right platforms you can really sense this human spirit coming to the forefront."

Prof Sikora, who is a former Downing Street adviser, told The Sun: "I think these remarks are outrageous.

"As for the media, I really don't understand what Harry's beef is. Journalists have been reporting the facts and have been doing great work in holding the Government to account.

"The media has also championed the NHS and become a key ally of doctors, nurses and key workers. They should be applauded, not vilified."

Piers Morgan tweeted: "Prince Harry, from his Hollywood mansion, accusing the media of exaggerating the scale of this crisis in Britain is contemptible. It's the media that is exposing the real scale of it as our death toll rockets to highest in Europe & over 60 health workers have now died."

Coronavirus: Medical advisers 'lying to support government with collapsing credibility', says Lancet editor
Yahoo News UK Ross McGuinness,Yahoo News

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-government-advisers-lancet-091902948.html

Medical advisers have been accused of lying to the British public about the coronavirus pandemic to prop up the government.

Richard Horton, the editor of medical journal The Lancet, criticised the government’s advisers, accused them of telling “manifest untruths”.

In a tweet posted on Sunday evening, he wrote: “When you see supposedly independent medical advisors to government tell what are manifest untruths to shore up a political regime whose credibility is rapidly collapsing, you have to say that those advisors have lost their integrity and our trust.”

On Sunday, during the government’s daily COVID-19 briefing, England’s deputy chief medical officer, Dr Jenny Harries, claimed the UK has been an “international exemplar in preparedness” during the pandemic.

She made the remark despite anger from NHS officials over a continued lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers and a report in the Sunday Times claiming the government dithered in its response to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

Of those hospitalised in the UK who tested positive for coronavirus, 16,060 have died, according to the government.
Latest coronavirus news, updates and advice

At the end of last month, Horton criticised Dr Harries after she claimed the UK had a “perfectly adequate supply of PPE”.

Writing in The Lancet, he said: “I am sure Dr Harries believed what she said. But she was wrong and she should apologise to the thousands of health workers who still have no access to WHO-standard PPE.”

On Sunday, Dr Harries said: “The UK, regardless of the position that we may be in now, has been an international exemplar in preparedness.”

Watch the video below

Labour MP Diane Abbott responded to Dr Harries’ comment by tweeting: “It’s a wonder she can say these things with a straight face.”

The lack of PPE has been repeatedly raised by NHS officials, as some staff are forced to use washing equipment and have been asked to accept wearing less protective gear.

Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, said there was "relatively low confidence" that a shipment of 400,000 surgical gowns which had been due to arrive in the UK from Turkey on Sunday would make its way into the country on Monday.

Hopson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it was wrong to focus on individual consignments of PPE because "bitter experience over the last few weeks" has shown they cannot be relied upon, with some boxes containing the wrong items and thousands of pieces missing.
Ambulance staff wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) help a patient from an ambulance into The Royal London Hospital in east London on April 18, 2020. - Britain's death toll from the coronavirus rose by 847 on Friday, health ministry figures showed, a slightly slower increase than the previous day but still among the worst rates globally.

"There's no doubt that at the moment, we have now got trusts that have definitely got shortages of gowns,” he said.

Claudia Paoloni, president of the doctors' union HCSA, said: "Our NHS workers are going above and beyond on a daily basis to heal.

“They should expect at the very least adequate protection to keep them fit and well to engage in this fight. Yet instead they are being asked to sacrifice themselves due to the failings of others."

Dr Chaand Nagpaul, chairman of the British Medical Association, said: "We made it clear weeks ago that we need to do something about the likelihood of a lack of protective equipment."

The NHS is thought to use around 150,000 gowns a day, meaning the stock from Turkey would last less than three days.

Culture secretary Oliver Dowden said he was hopeful the gowns would still arrive, telling BBC One's Breakfast programme: "We are very hopeful that later today that flight will take off and we will get those gowns.”

He said another 25 million gowns have also been procured from China.

Meanwhile, Downing Street hit back at a newspaper report that prime minister Boris Johnson and his administration dragged their feet in the run-up to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

Number 10 accused the Sunday Times of "falsehoods" and "errors" after the newspaper published a piece in which a Whitehall source claimed the government "missed the boat on testing and PPE”.

On Sunday, Dr Harries said the UK risks a second wave of coronavirus deaths if social distancing warnings are not heeded.

Ofcom sanctions London Live over David Icke interview
Yahoo Celebrity UK Amy Johnson,

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/ofcom-london-live-david-icke-sanction-160136221.html

Ofcom has ruled that local television service licensee ESTV broke broadcasting rules with a London Live interview featuring conspiracy theorist David Icke.

The broadcasting watchdog found that views expressed by Icke regarding the coronavirus pandemic could cause "significant harm" to viewers as his views "cast doubt" on the health advice given by governing bodies and health organisations in order to protect the public.

Ofcom declared his "unsubstantiated" remarks went "largely unchallenged" during the 80 minute interview which saw Icke discuss the pandemic with presenter Brian Rose.

The programme screened a notice during ad breaks saying the views expressed were not necessarily those of the network, however, Ofcom ruled ESTV had a responsibility to ensure viewers were "protected from potential harm" by challenging Icke's views and placing them in context.

London Live has accepted the direction to broadcast a summary of Ofcom's findings on a date and form to be decided by the watchdog, which is also considering whether to impose any sanctions beyond the Direction via the Ofcom Sanctions Panel.

The separate case of complaints lodged against Eamonn Holmes' coronavirus comments on This Morning were also assessed by Ofcom.

It was decided that his "ambiguous" comments surrounding a link between coronavirus and 5G technology were "ill-judged" and risked undermining viewers' trust in advice from public authorities and scientific evidence.

Taking into account the show's consumer editor Alice Beer strongly rejecting any link between the two earlier in the show and a statement delivered by Holmes the following day, Ofcom issued guidance to ITV and its presenters.

Why lockdowns are the wrong policy - Swedish expert Prof. Johan Giesecke

That was one of the more extraordinary interviews we have done here at UnHerd.

Professor Johan Giesecke, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, advisor to the Swedish Government (he hired Anders Tegnell who is currently directing Swedish strategy), the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and an advisor to the director general of the WHO, lays out with typically Swedish bluntness why he thinks:

- UK policy on lockdown and other European countries are not evidence-based
- The correct policy is to protect the old and the frail only
- This will eventually lead to herd immunity as a “by-product”
- The initial UK response, before the “180 degree U-turn”, was better
- The Imperial College paper was “not very good” and he has never seen an unpublished paper have so much policy impact
- The paper was very much too pessimistic
- Any such models are a dubious basis for public policy anyway
- The flattening of the curve is due to the most vulnerable dying first as much as the lockdown
- The results will eventually be similar for all countries
- Covid-19 is a “mild disease” and similar to the flu, and it was the novelty of the disease that scared people.
- The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1%
- At least 50% of the population of both the UK and Sweden will be shown to have already had the disease when mass antibody testing becomes available]

All I know is that nobody know the absolute truth about this virus.. I am really astonished by how every country talks like they have the absolute truth and the universal knowledge of everything and that is or should be the same for everyone.. blablabla
Everywhere this virus has acted a little different and viruses mutate.. every body is different and this virus has performed very different by race or ethnicity.. Here in the USA has been a very high mortality rate for African American and Hispanics, and just here were I live El Paso, TX (70% Hispanic community for being a boarder with Mexico) has a very HIGH rate on young people 60% of the infected cases are between 40 and younger! So.. If we cannot trust the government and we cannot trust on WHO, we need to start using our common sense..

"The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants" — Albert Camus

As Britain hurtles headlong towards neo-feudalist governance with heightened surveillance, micro-management of society and an uptick in fascistic policing of the draconian measures imposed to combat the "threat" of Covid–19, it is perhaps time to analyse the real forces behind this "new normal".

There is now serious doubt over the correlation between lockdown and saving lives. Reality is creeping into the Covid–19 dialogue. It is becoming apparent that people are getting sick because they are being isolated and effectively living under house arrest, condemned as "murderers" if they so much as think about breaking curfew, being snitched on by neighbours for "gathering" more than two people together in their back gardens.

The following graph was produced by UK Column and demonstrates the lack of correlation between lockdown and "saving lives":

Updated 21/4/20

The numbers game is acting in many instances as a smokescreen. It is impossible to rely upon "official" statistics, that vary wildly from one website to another: statistics that rely upon unreliable and sporadic testing procedures. and based upon death certificates that misrepresent the actual cause of death as Covid–19, regardless of pre-existing medical conditions. Statistics, too, that were set in stone very early on in the development stages, when the perspective was limited and compressed, before a true picture could be seen. The newly emerging statistics are now increasingly undermining initial conclusions and pointing to the futility and negative consequences of lockdown.

It is now accepted that there is a high mortality rate among the elderly in care homes in the UK and globally — among the same elderly civilians who are being "asked" to sign DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) forms. This amounts to signing their own death warrant, should they present any of the Covid–19 symptoms. They will be neglected, isolated from their families when at their most vulnerable and left alone to die, even though it is possible that they have not contracted the virus.

Instead of offering proactive and positive suggestions that will enable our immune systems to combat the disease, the British Government is ensuring conditions that will suppress immune systems to dangerous levels and create the perfect environment for Covid–19 to flourish.

Britain has now received an estimated 1.4 million new benefit claims for welfare payments, "about seven times the normal level". The government has pledged to bail out "80% of pay of workers who are temporarily laid off" but I have personally spoken to self-employed individuals who find themselves falling between the cracks that qualify them for financial support and now face an indefinite period of time without income.

These measures are being imposed in a country that, since 2012, has seen an exponential growth in child poverty to potentially sub-Victorian levels. In March 2019, the number of children living in "absolute poverty" grew by a staggering 200,000 in a twelve-month period, to a total of 3.7 million. How will this number be further impacted by lockdown?

How did we arrive at this point? Who steered the UK Government towards this questionable and alarmist lockdown policy? The unexamined assumption is that conclusions were formed on the basis of sound epidemiological analysis and research by doctors and scientists who care about our welfare.

The reality is what we will examine in this article. Neil Ferguson, a professor at Imperial College, was responsible for the modelling of a response to Covid–19. His virtual model was recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and it passed through into policy with virtually no scrutiny. Ferguson's dramatic prediction of 500,000 deaths in the UK became the foundation of Boris Johnson's U-turn from herd immunity to collective quarantine.

While some understood that Ferguson later reduced his mortality calculations, he actually doubled down on his projections on Twitter, insisting that without drastic lockdown measures being taken, the numbers would be even higher.
Who is Neil Ferguson?

Ferguson is acting director of the Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium (VIMC), which is based at Imperial College in London. According to Ferguson's biography on the website, "much of [his] work is applied, informing disease control policy-making by public and global health institutions."

The professor who derailed Johnson's semblance of "herd immunity" strategy is no stranger to controversy and is described as having a "patchy" record of modelling pandemics by one of his academic peers, Professor Michael Thrusfield of Edinburgh University, an expert in animal diseases.

Ferguson was instrumental in the modelling of the British Government's response to Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in 2001, which Thrusfield describes as "not fit for purpose" (2006) and "seriously flawed" (2012). Thrusfield has highlighted the limitations of Ferguson's mathematical modelling methods, and applied the doubts he expressed over FMD to the current Covid–19 "crisis" response.

An estimated twelve million animals were slaughtered as a result of Ferguson's 2001 initiative. The farming community was devastated by suicides and bankruptcies that irretrievably altered the landscape of British agriculture — forcing healthy smallholdings into agri-corporate mergers and empowering the EU central governance in the agricultural sector.

Insight: Slaughtered on Suspicion, a documentary made by UK Column in 2015, provides a shocking insight into the suffering precipitated by Ferguson's model and the "new normal" imposed upon Britain's farming community. The following is a statement made by one of the contributors to the programme:

12,000,000 animals [Meat & Livestock Commission statistic] were slaughtered but that did not include lambs at foot, aborted lambs, calves or piglets. Further, tens of thousands of chickens were slaughtered in the early months — on welfare grounds, apparently. 88% of all animals slaughtered had not contracted FMD [source: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs].

Great Orton airfield was used to slaughter sheep under the "voluntary" cull: that was anything but voluntary, and farmers not participating were ruthlessly threatened. There was only one mild case of FMD recorded from the thousands of blood tests done at Great Orton [source: DEFRA].

There was a travelator that ran from the slaughter tent at Great Orton to the graves. This ran 16 hours a day, transporting "dead" young lambs. Slaughtermen working there told me that many of the lambs were buried alive.

The man that advised Blair during this fiasco was, as many will know, Prof. Ferguson of Imperial College. He was [reportedly] sacked by DEFRA late on during the epidemic, but the damage had been done! Prof Ferguson was awarded an OBE in 2002 for his work during FMD 2001." [Emphasis added]

In 2002, Ferguson predicted that up to 50,000 people would die from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, better known as "mad cow disease", increasing to 150,000 if the epidemic expanded to include sheep. The reality is: "Since 1990, 178 people in the United Kingdom have died from vCJD, according to the National CJD Research & Surveillance Unit at the University of Edinburgh." (2017)

In 2005, Ferguson claimed that up to 200 million people would be killed by bird-flu or H5N1. By early 2006, the WHO had only linked 78 deaths to the virus, out of 147 reported cases.

In 2009, Ferguson and his team at Imperial College advised the government that swine flu or H1N1 would probably kill 65,000 people in the UK. In the end, swine flu claimed the lives of 457 people in the UK.

Now, in 2020, Ferguson and Imperial College have released a report which claims that half a million Britons and 2.2 million Americans may be killed by Covid–19. The report has still not been peer-reviewed; despite this and Ferguson's glaring record of mathematical sensationalism, the British Government has adopted the devastating socio-economic lockdown that Ferguson has proposed.
Why is the British Government so quick to follow Ferguson's plan?

1. GAVI and Imperial College

The VIMC is hosted by the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at Imperial College. VIMC is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and by "GAVI, the vaccine alliance" (GAVI's own title for itself). Bill and Melinda Gates began funding Imperial College in 2006, four years before the Gates Foundation launched the Global Health Leaders Launch Decade of Vaccines Collaboration (GHLLDVC) and one year after Ferguson had demonstrated his penchant for overblown projections on mortality numbers from H5N1.

Up to the end of 2018, the Gates Foundation has sponsored Imperial College with a whopping $185 million. That makes Gates the second largest sponsor, beaten to the top spot on the podium by the Wellcome Trust, a British research charity which began funding Imperial College prior to Ferguson's FMD débâcle and which, by the end of 2018, had already provided Imperial with over $400 million in funding. I will examine the Wellcome Trust's connections in part two of this series.

Wellcome trust also has a focus on global immunization programmes.

The Gates Foundation established the GHLLDVC in collaboration with the WHO, UNICEF and the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The following is taken from the Gates Foundation website:

The Global Vaccine Action Plan will enable greater coordination across all stakeholder groups - national governments, multilateral organizations, civil society, the private sector and philanthropic organizations -- and will identify critical policy, resource, and other gaps that must be addressed to realize the life-saving potential of vaccines.

The Collaboration's leadership council at the time included the Director-General of the WHO, the Director of NIAID, the Director of UNICEF, the President of Gates Foundation Global Health, and the Chair of the African Malaria Alliance. The steering committee included the Director of Immunisation, the UK Department of Health, and many other representatives from the WHO, UNICEF and associated organisations. It is a cluster of immunisation-focused individuals controlling the policy of world health governing bodies, who claim to be neutral.

The WHO was nominated as the "directing and coordinating authority on international health within the United Nations system" and was set up to be responsible for "shaping the health research agenda", among other tasks linked to the policy of global immunisation.

UNICEF, the "world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries" has on-the-ground access to children in over 150 territories and countries (2010).

We are already seeing the potential for some serious conflict of interest behind the Ferguson model on Covid–19, and this will become even more apparent as the connections are now made to an entire pharmaceutical complex potentially protecting its own interests over any genuine concerns for the health and welfare of global populations.
Gavi, the vaccine alliance

"Gavi is the Vaccine Alliance, which brings together public and private sectors with the shared goal of creating equal access to vaccines for children, wherever they live."

GAVI is funded and partnered by the same network that forms the GHLLDVC, with some noticeable additions: the World Bank and donor/implementing country governments. The Gates Foundation is a primary sponsor, but is topped by the British Government, which was instrumental in creating GAVI and is its largest donor.

While many sectors of British society have seen their living standards plummet, with the elderly severely neglected, a National Health Service in decline and homelessness on the increase, the British Government, via UKAID, has pledged £1.44 billion to GAVI for 2016–2020 and will be hosting the 2020 GAVI pledging conference, which is due to take place in June 2020 to "mobilise at least US$ 7.4 billion in additional resources to protect the next generation with vaccines, reduce disease inequality and create a healthier, safer and more prosperous world." (Emphasis added)

The conference promises to bring together political leaders, civil society, public and private donors, vaccine manufacturers and governments to support GAVI, the vaccine alliance — which boasts that it has "helped vaccinate almost half the world's children against deadly and debilitating infectious diseases". This claim will be met with praise from the pro-vaccine lobby but concerns over the efficacy and safety of these mass vaccination programmes must be taken into account, particularly when being tested in poorer, developing countries.

Global vaccination market revenue worldwide is projected to reach $59.2 billion by 2020; this number may well increase with the arrival of Covid–19. The British Government's investment in GAVI alongside vaccine promoter Bill Gates must, again, raise the issue of conflicts of interest. To what extent is the British Government protecting its own assets in forcing the lockdown upon its population? Vaccines are set to be a major source of income for the world's largest pharmaceutical corporations, and the British Government is invested in that lucrative future.

The GAVI replenishment conference is to be hosted by a British Government whose lockdown policy is effectively shattering the domestic economy and is collectively punishing the most vulnerable in British society.

When Bill Gates partnered with GAVI twenty years ago, he had been considering where next to focus his philanthropy and was "increasingly focusing on the power and potential of vaccines". It was Gates' substantial sponsorship that launched GAVI, and ten years later Gates launched his own "vaccine decade" plan for the 2010s.

The Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) 2012–2020, endorsed by the 194 member states participating in the World Health Assembly (2012), is led by the same members of the Gates "vaccine decade" consortium, promoted by the WHO, and brings together governments, elected officials, health professionals, academia, manufacturers, global agencies, research and development, civil society, media and the private sector — to promote global immunisation. This is a profit-driven corporate complex harnessing the "humanitarian" sector to lend credence to the claims of philanthropy, or more realistically, philanthrocapitalism.

2. GAVI and ID2020

A glance at the partner page of the GAVI website reveals that not only is GAVI heavily invested in immunisation campaigns, it is also closely connected to the Gates, Microsoft and Rockefeller Foundation seed-funded ID2020 project (Digital Identity Alliance), which incorporates Accenture, Microsoft (Gates), Ideo-Org and Rockefeller Foundation into the GAVI alliance, all with ties to the ID2020 initiative.

ID2020 is promoting the concept that there is a need for universal biometric verification, because "to prove who you are is a fundamental and universal human right," as asserted on the ID2020 website. An article by journalist Kurt Nimmo for Global Research dismantles the "humanitarian" alibi for tyranny.

OffGrid Healthcare explains:

What they really want is a fully standardized data collection and retrieval format, and cross-border sharing of identities of the entire population of the planet, in order for the stand-alone AI-powered command center to work without a hitch, and for purposes of calculating everyone's potential contribution, and threat to the system.

Nimmo describes the potential for Covid–19 to be used as cover for mandatory biometric ID. An April article carried by Reuters confirms the suspicion that biometric ID might soon be introduced, ostensibly to "help verify those who already had the infection and ensure the vulnerable get the vaccine when it is launched". This may sound perfectly sensible to those who are buying the government strap-lines on Covid–19 but — as Nimmo warns us — "COVID–19 is the perfect Trojan horse for a control freak state itching to not only micromanage the lives of ordinary citizens but also ferret out critics and potential adversaries and punish them as enemies of the state."

Prashant Yadav, senior fellow at the US-based Center for Global Development, has said:

Biometric IDs can be a gamechanger. They can help governments target population segments e.g healthcare professionals or the elderly population, verify people who have received vaccination, and have a clear record. [Emphasis added]

Such statements can easily be interpreted as the harbingers of mandatory vaccination and the inclusion of biometric ID in the "humanitarian" package.

Martin Armstrong of Armstrong Technologies introduces an even more sinister projection into the mix. Armstrong talks about a digital certificate that verifies you have been vaccinated, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Microsoft, which will merge with ID2020. Covid–19 will be exploited to encourage us to accept digital implants and tracking devices that will enable authorities to keep an eye on us. Armstrong argues that just as 9/11 conditioned us to accept X-ray booths at airports, now we will be chipped alongside our dogs and cats.

The road to 2020 - the future for digital identity in the UK. (Title of Innovate Identity article June 2019)

At this point, it is worth remembering that UKAID is heavily involved in GAVI, and one presumes they are on board with the digital ID2020 project. Rob Laurence, director at UK-based Innovate Identity, presented proposals for the future of digital identity back in June 2019. The UK Government Verify scheme was identified as a fledgling version of the future of digital ID.

Laurence describes the digital ID "ecosystem" that is emerging: Oliver Dowden, Minister for Implementation at the Cabinet Office (the British Government's co-ordinating department), will form a new Digital ID Unit to "pave the way for the government to consume digital identities from the private sector". Laurence describes 2020 as the "now-or-never year for government and industry to collaborate" in the creation of an "interoperable digital identity market".

Covid19 provides the opportunity that might just fulfil these predictions.

It is no coincidence that a British start-up — Microsoft-funded Onfido — has recently raised $100 million to "boost its ID technology" to enable the creation of "immunity passports" for governments "battling coronavirus".

In December 2019, researchers at MIT created a "microneedle platform using fluorescent microparticles called quantum dots (QD) which can deliver vaccines and at the same time, invisibly encode vaccination history in the skin": the QDs can be detected by specially adapted smartphones. The "new normal" will mean we are tracked and monitored by our own communication systems to an even greater and more intrusive extent.
The future is being modelled — but not for our benefit

In part one of this two=part series, my intention has been to raise questions over who is driving the British Government response to Covid–19. Those who have influenced the lockdown policy have very clear conflict of interest question marks over their agenda.

The scientific clique influencing government decisions is one that is incorporated into a for-profit Big Pharma industrial network which will, undeniably, benefit from the measures being taken by the British Government — a government that is financially embedded in the same complex.

Why are the views of epidemiologists, doctors, scientists, analysts and health advisors who challenge the lockdown being ignored or censored by the media and by government? Why is the government not widening the circle of advisors to take into account these opposing perspectives that might bring an end to the misery that is a consequence of enforced quarantine? Off-Guardian has recorded these views here, here and here. It is also worth following Swiss Propaganda Research for regular updates on emerging analysis and statistics that you will not always find in the mainstream media.

World Economic Forum report on the psychological experiment that is the Covid19 lockdown.

Instead, the British Government is effectively endorsing the breeding of distrust in society, the erosion of public assembly, the isolation and state-sanctioned euthanasia of the elderly, the emerging police state, snitch lines, loss of dignity and livelihoods, greater dependency upon the state for survival, depression, suicide and voluntary incarceration.

An article in New York Times reports on the death toll in care homes which "reflect a global phenomenon" in a world under lockdown.

The UN has issued a warning that the economic downturn could "kill hundreds of thousands of children in 2020". Gates, the WHO, the British Government and UNICEF are focused on global immunisation for a "pandemic" that is not living up to the alarmist virtual projections sponsored by Gates and the Big Pharma complex, while children really will start to die from malnutrition, neglect and a myriad of consequence of extreme poverty generated by the "steepest downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s" (IMF).

In part two, I will delve deeper into the interlocking interests of state and private corporate sectors that should not be interfering in policies which affect the welfare of British citizens. I will reveal how the same players are influencing the media response and ensuring that their interests are given the most powerful platforms to promote their agenda.

The questions must be asked: Who is really in charge of the Covid–19 response? Who benefits most? Who will suffer most from the long term consequences? And who will provide respite from those consequences when the "pandemic" has disappeared from view?

"Independent Journalism"

Whether these findings on Hydroxychloroquine are true or false isn't really the point. How it is reported is the point. The blatant copy/paste uniformity in MSM reporting continues to show evidence that they all read for the same hymn sheet. So who writes the hymn sheet?

Coronavirus: Teenager, 17, who killed herself 'felt three-month lockdown was like 300 years’

A teenager who killed herself felt a three-month coronavirus lockdown was ‘like 300 years’, her family have said.

Bethany Palmer from Sale, Greater Manchester, died two weeks ago.

Her funeral took place at Altrincham Crematorium on Thursday but only family could attend due to current restrictions.

Instead, mourners stood outside their homes on Northenden Road, Marsland Road, and Washway Road, in Sale, as the funeral cortege passed.

Beth's dad Mike Palmer told ITV's Granada Reports he had no doubt the lockdown had played a major part in her death.

Mr Palmer said: “She couldn't finish college, she couldn't go out and see her friends.

“She felt as though this three-month lockdown was to her 300 years.

“This three-month lockdown I think became an extreme, almost obsessive obsession, that it was never going to end.”

Mr Palmer and Bethany’s mother Helen said they wanted to prevent other families from suffering a similar tragedy and warned other young people may also be vulnerable at the moment due to the pandemic.

Beth’s family have shared a fundraising page which has already received £10,000 in donations for a trust they are setting up in her memory.

The money will fund mental health first aid for young people in colleges and schools.

Their online tribute read: "Beth lived her life to the max and it was always full of fun, laughter, family, friends, mischief, dance, the occasional drink, music, a bit of fake tan and singing.

"Beth's life was all about love, fun and music and we want this to be her legacy.

"Beth, we love you more than anything in the world."

Bethany was a talented singer and musician who often performed live at The Brooklands Tap pub and also attended dance classes at Cadmans Dance Centre.

Ive pointed out that suicide is very high on the list of fatalities for that age group and up to fifty five.
Unfortunately the number of people who's lives are saved by lockdown may be small compared with death by suicide in the coming year.

White House broadcasting live now on coronavirus--same old :bs: so far--"take the flu shot" blah blah blah...face masks, wash hands, social distancing...
But Trump is insisting it won't come back as virulent, though it may come back at the same time as the seasonal flu, but still won't be as bad
Encouraging reopening asap
Now he's saying how great it is that he has been making sure lots of ventilators are being manufactured now--no mention that they are actually causing deaths...:facepalm:
No mention how most deaths attributed to corona were actually due to pre-exisiting conditions
Trump keeps saying how unprecedented it was--but no mention of how it wasn't actually more deadly than the seasonal flu
Or how faulty the tests are for corona
Air shows scheduled July 4th to honor health care workers
$310 billions were approved for the paycheck protection program to continue giving help to out of work Americans
$30 billion more for small businesses
Harvard, Stanford and other Universities not accepting millions allocated under the CARE Act, by Trump's request
$25 billion allocated by Congress to health care centers and testing
(But no mention of helping people with prevention by taking supplements, which would be so much less expensive!)
Underserved communities getting more assistance, Blacks, Hispanics, etc.
Borders closed temporarily to ensure unemployed Americans get first consideration for jobs
Trump is making optimistic predictions, no fear porn, at least
Asking for blood donations from those who have recovered from the corona virus
NEXT: Mike Pence gives positive report re recovery, but says continue with precautions
This is scary: he says the military and National Guard are taking over some nursing homes, and getting those ventilators out there!
(Death by ventilators will be a HUGE statistic, I predict, if the truth ever comes out widely enough about that)
Next: Fauci: Taking lots of credit and none of the blame, still cautioning, no leap frogging, follow "successful formula, same yada yada yada--we WILL have corona virus in the Fall
More from Trump, Pence, Brix answering questions

Believe in yourself, most of the information on internet is misleading, take it with a grain of salt!
In my opinion and only my opinion, people like Mike Adams and Alex Jones are pure profiteers (not saying they are 100% scam bags, but they are taking advantage on the situation), they are no good for help at times like this.
Anyone trying to make bucks in times of desperation should not be forgotten, because they are feeding fear in order to profit selling their products/services.
We should be united at this time and not dispersed, see it is part of the big plan, put people against it other, control over our very basic rights (freedom and privacy at most), destruction of the monetary system along with the small businesses and God knows what else is coming.
We all will survive, and this lesson should be taken very seriously, are you still trusting your governments? think again.

Although this isn't fresh news, I did a search on it in this thread and nothing turned up.

On Mar 19, 2020 the Governor of California issued a dire warning to his citizens (a little over a month ago):

"Roughly 56 percent" of the state population, or 25.5 million people, will be infected with COVID-19 in two months. "

So how many Americans in total do you think have become infected to date?
And what does this tell you about the virus?

A quarter to perhaps a third, in some areas, which may reach back to last year and have nothing to do with China.

Isn't the timeline something like this:

In November, there were pneumonic plagues being treated in Beijing.

China could not be “covering up” what was only identified as a new disease on December 30, duly communicated to the WHO. Then, on January 3, the head of the American CDC, Robert Redfield, called the top Chinese CDC official. Chinese doctors sequenced the virus. And only on January 8 it was determined this was Sars-Cov-2 – which provokes Covid-19...how could U.S. intel have known about a contagion one month before Chinese doctors detected an unknown virus? Enough so that Israel confirms a Wuhan-related warning from November. Circumstances (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55094.htm) have it appearing that they "know" or respond to something that is not known in China.

It could easily be of U. S. origin and simply ignored until China discovered it.

Coronavirus: Anyone over 60 is 'high risk', scientists warn
Alexandra Thompson
https://uk.yahoo.com/style/coronavirus-covid19-risk-age-sixty-131231825.html

Scientists are urging anyone over 60 to consider themselves “high risk” amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Boris Johnson has introduced draconian lockdown measures that only allow Britons to venture out for “very limited purposes” like shopping for essentials.

These restrictions stand regardless of an individual’s age; however, officials recognise those over 70 as being particularly at risk of the infection.

Scientists from Imperial College London and the University of Exeter have argued that this overlooks the more than 7 million Britons between 60 and 69 who may be at “considerable” risk.

Early research suggests the coronavirus is mild in four out of five cases, but it can trigger a respiratory disease called COVID-19.

One expert warned that immunity can decline “a decade earlier” than the government’s 70-year “cut-off”, adding that “you can be a very fit 65-year-old, but your immune system will not work as well as it did when you were 20”.
y of Medicine journal, the scientists pointed to research from China and Italy, former epicentres of the pandemic.

The death rate among infected people aged 60 to 69 in China and Italy is reportedly 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively.

Latest coronavirus news, updates and advice

The coronavirus’s fatality rate has been debated, with some experts arguing it cannot be accurately gauged until the outbreak is over.

At the beginning of March, the World Health Organization announced the virus had killed 3.4% of patients worldwide, which others called a probable “overestimate”.

Scientists from the University of Hong Kong later looked at more than 48,000 confirmed cases in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the virus likely emerged.

They found the average death rate among patients under 30 was 0.3%, rising to 0.5% for those between 30 and 59, and 2.6% for people aged 60 or above.

Based on the data, the Imperial and Exeter team are encouraging those over 60 to be particularly cautious.

“National and global spread of COVID-19 is accelerating,” said study author Professor Azeem Majeed from Imperial College London.

“To reduce hospitalisations, intensive care admissions and death we recommend those aged between 60 and 69 are particularly stringent when implementing public health measures such as social distancing and personal hygiene.”

Officials have urged people to wash their hands regularly for 20 seconds, the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice.

When people do venture out for essentials or to exercise, a 2metre (6ft) distance should be maintained with passersby outside of their household.

‘As we get older, so do our immune systems’

Older people are more at risk of infections in general, which is why people aged 65 or over are offered a free flu vaccine on the NHS.

“As we get older, so do our immune systems, which results in them becoming slower and less effective at fighting off infections that we have previously come across,” said Professor Arne Akbar from the British Society for Immunology.

“With coronavirus infections, what seems to be happening in older patients is their immune systems are less able to move through the different stages of immune response needed to clear the disease.

“Instead they get ‘stuck’ in the early stage of immune response, which results in a bigger build-up of debris in the lungs and more inflammation, leading to more serious symptoms.

“Physical changes to the lungs of older people [also] mean they have poorer cough strength and reduced functioning of cilia, the fine hairs that line the airways.”

Cough, along with fever, is one of the tell-tale symptoms of the coronavirus.

“[Reduced cilia function] results in a decreased ability to clear mucus, which traps infections in the lungs, where they can build up,” said Professor Akbar.

Baby Steps

23rd April 2020, 11:57

With thanks to Frank V for the following excellent message that he was happy to have shared. His view is that the email hack is fake news and the idea of splicing in HIV is unfounded.

"Well, what I can tell you is that, as so often with this kind of messages ─ and especially with anything coming from far-right message boards like 4Chan or 8Chan ─ it is a hoax story with some truths woven into it so as to give it street credibility.

I monitor Slashdot on a daily basis ─ it's a website/forum for techies and geeks ─ and the truth that is being woven into this hoax is a report that appeared there ─ with a link to a credible source ─ on account of 267 million Facebook profiles that are currently being sold on the Dark Web.

Another truth ─ actually, a truth that is being taken out of context and thus turned into a half-truth ─ is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus behaves in many waves as the HIV virus does, i.e. it directly attacks and cripples the immune system. This is why most sufferers experience only low-grade fever unless they already had another, pre-existing condition.

A fever is a symptom of the immune system's reaction to an infection. So if you only have a low-grade fever to something as dangerous and ─ most notably ─ novel as the SARS-CoV-2 virus, then that means that your immune system is not really doing its work. Because it's a novel virus ─ meaning that it had never been discovered or reported before ─ and that in turn means that the body's immune system would normally be reacting very violently to being infected with this virus, which as such also means that you would normally have a high fever. But that is not the case, and this is one of the reasons why ─ and here's another truth taken out of context ─ many of the patients were experimentally treated with AIDS-inhibitors. Because after all, AIDS stands for Acute Immunity Deficiency Syndrome, and that's exactly what HIV causes.

And here's another interesting thing... The people who die with AIDS don't actually die from AIDS, but from any other kind of viral or bacterial disease that their body would normally develop an immunity-based response to ─ things like the common cold or the flu. And in many of the Covid-19 deaths, the patients actually died of pneumonia, rather than of Covid-19 itself, even though respiratory problems are indeed among the symptoms of Covid-19.

So there you have all this interesting knowledge, and all these interesting keywords, which you can easily pluck out of my sentences and put them into another context. And if you weave a story around it and you then post that story at some knee-jerk far-right forum such as 4Chan or 8Chan, then people are going to jump on that like fleas on a dog. The same is already true with the whole 5G nonsense. Even over here in Europe, paranoid idiots are setting 5G masts on fire, whereby they are not only endangering themselves ─ because there is high voltage involved with those installations ─ but also the firefighters and anyone who depends on 5G for their communication in times of an emergency.

And where do these idiots meet? You guessed it: on Facebook, WhatsApp ─ which is owned by Facebook ─ and all those other social media platforms that track and spy on their users and sell their users' personal information to the highest bidder. You can't make this stuff up.

What we're dealing with here is a struggle between brain and brawn, and sadly enough, brawn appears to be winning.

Now, on account of the alleged splicing with HIV, if anything had been published regarding such alleged splicing by anyone within the WHO or within the Wuhan virus research facility, then it would surely have already been published at Slashdot by now, as well as in the mainstream media here in Europe. But that is not the case. Not a peep. So you can rest assured that it's fake news. And there is a lot of fake news circulating about SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19 right now ─ both intentionally and unintentionally.

As for the true origin of the virus, the official explanation, both from the Chinese scientists in the field and all international scientists who've been involved in virus research is that we still don't know how exactly it came to infect humans, but that all evidence suggests that the virus originated naturally as a mutation from an already existing virus among bats, although some sources also believe that it may have come from a pangolin ─ i.e. a scaly anteater. But that it comes from an animal and that it is the product of natural evolution are either way two findings beyond dispute, although Bill will disagree with me on that one.

Fact is, Donald Trump has already long ago declared a covert war on "Jina" ─ as he calls it ─ because of the fact that a lot (if not most) of the US corporations' mass production is taking place in China, which supposedly means that "the Chinese are stealing American jobs". Now that is always good for some US American knee-jerks, isn't it? Never even mind that it's the American corporations who, out of their own free will, chose to move their mass production into South-East Asia ─ Japan at first, South Korea later, and more recently, China and Indonesia ─ in order to maximize their profits and do away with having to pay high wages to their factory workers. So if anyone is to blame here, then it's the US American corporate world, and not the Chinese government. But Trump is an ultra-nationalist, and he is a clinical narcissist, who will always put the blame for his own incompetence on somebody else. He's looking for a scapegoat.

The above in mind, first Trump declared a trade war with China, and then he later had Huawei's top woman arrested by the Canadian authorities on the charges of spying for the Chinese government. And so now his administration is trying to put the blame for the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak on China, any which way they can, and camouflaging his own incompetence ─ and that of his administration ─ in the process. Remember George W. Bush and Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction? Well, it's the same thing now: El Donaldo the Banana Republican™ is looking for excuses for his cold war with China. And given enough opportunity, he'll find them, too, so that he can impose more sanctions on China and perhaps ─ like the Jimmy Carter administration did to the Soviet regime with a little help from Zbigniew Brzezinsky and Osama Bin Laden ─ "bring communism to its knees".

Of course, the Chinese government, in turn, knows all too well that Trump is trying to blame them, and so they are countering Trump's allegations by claiming that the virus may have been introduced into China by the US military. And Russian hackers have also been active in the dissemination of misinformation ─ in this case, pointing the finger at the US as having created SARS-CoV-2 as a biological weapon. (As an aside, it will of course become weaponized at some later point in time, and probably by all the major players ─ the USA, Russia, China, the UK, Israel, et al.)

But so anyway, it's all bogus. It's simply a ludicrous political back-and-forth between two nuclear superpowers. Science doesn't lie, and there are many, many more scientists looking into this pandemic than those with either a Chinese or a US American nationality.

So there you have it, and if you were to start a thread about this ─ or post it to an existing thread ─ then you have my permission to quote my above reply verbatim, because I stand by every word I've written here.

With respect,

Frank V."

Hi, do you have any reference for that? It would be amazing to know.
I am not so sure if Wikileaks remains a good place for dumps anymore. Lately stuffs like that are being released in places like Usenet, Torrents and Forums, also most of this info can be found in the deep web.
Thanks anyway.

Hi, reluctant to provide links as the board contains long lists of emails with passwords , there is a twitter storm from Vedic_cybergod. I am not advocating taking these boards or their contents seriously, just hoping that a public spirited hacker is assisting to uncover the truth. However today there have been no revelations

Coronavirus: Nicola Sturgeon lays out how Scotland will ultimately exit lockdown
Lizzy Buchan
The Independent

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-nicola-sturgeon-lays-scotland-114700531.html

Nicola Sturgeon has set out a blueprint for how Scotland will begin to ease the coronavirus lockdown, in a move that will ramp up pressure on Westminster to lay out its exit strategy.

The first minister said she wanted to have a "grown up conversation" with the public about lifting strict restrictions on daily life as she published a document setting out Scotland's path out of the lockdown.

Ms Sturgeon said it was misguided to see lifting lockdown as a "flick of the switch moment", rather than an "incremental" return to normal life.

Bans on social gatherings in pubs or at large events are likely to continue for "some time to come", while hand-washing and cough hygiene must become a part of daily life, the document said.

Some pupils may not be able to go back to school immediately if classrooms need to be re-configured for social distancing. Outdoor activities could also be allowed sooner than indoor pursuits.

Scottish ministers will also consider if restrictions can be lifted earlier - such as the remote areas of the Highlands and Islands - although Ms Sturgeon indicated that is not their preferred approach.

Ms Sturgeon said it was impossible to rule out re-applying restrictions if cases continue to rise but insisted the Scottish Government would be frank with the public throughout.

Speaking at a briefing in Edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon said: "What we are publishing at this stage is by necessity a first cut.

"I'm seeking today really to start a grown up conversation with you, the public."

She said the lockdown was saving lives but it was also hitting living standards, mental health and children's outcomes, adding: "We must find a better balance than the one we have right now."

Social distancing measures will be "a fact of life" for some time, Ms Sturgeon said, even if restrictions are lifted to prevent a second spike in cases, as well as continued shielding for the vulnerable.

Ms Sturgeon said: "That means, possibly for the rest of this year and maybe even beyond.

"That's why talking about lifting lockdown as if it's a 'flick of the switch moment', is misguided.

"Our steps, when we take them, will need to be careful, gradual, incremental and probably quite small to start with.

"We will need to assess them in advance and monitor them in action - sometimes, as I said a moment ago, we may even need to reverse things."

The move comes at odds with the approach in Westminster, where ministers have refused to set out their plans for easing the lockdown amid fears it could confuse the message to the public to stay at home.

The cabinet is also divided over the best approach, with more hawkish ministers such as the chancellor Rishi Sunak deeply concerned about the economic devastation caused by a lengthy lockdown.

Boris Johnson, who is recuperating from coronavirus at Chequers, is said to have softened his stance and remains deeply concerned about the risks to public health of easing restrictions.

565 Americans Have Lost Their Job For Every Confirmed COVID-19 Death In The US
April 23, 2020
By Tyler Durden

In the last week 4.427 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits for the first time.

Worse still, the final numbers will likely be worsened due to the bailout itself: as a reminder,
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed on March 27, could
contribute to new records being reached in coming weeks as it increases eligibility for jobless
claims to self-employed and gig workers, extends the maximum number of weeks that one
can receive benefits, and provides an additional $600 per week until July 31. A recent WSJ
article noted that this has created incentives for some businesses to temporarily furlough
their employees, knowing that they will be covered financially as the economy is shutdown.
Meanwhile, those making below $50k will generally be made whole and possibly be better
off on unemployment benefits.

Smokers 'four times less likely' to contract Covid-19, prompting nicotine patch trials on patients
[The Telegraph]
Henry Samuel
The Telegraph23 April 2020

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/smokers-four-times-less-likely-151203342.html

Frontline health workers and patients in France may be given nicotine patches after studies found that four times fewer smokers contracted Covid-19 than non-smokers.

It may sound counterintuitive that people who puff on Gauloises are less likely to catch a virus that can cause deadly attacks on the lungs. However, that was the statistical outcome of an in-depth study conducted by the Pasteur Institute, a leading French research centre into the disease.

The institute tested almost 700 teachers and pupils of a school in Crépy-en-Valois in one of the hardest-hit areas in France, as well as their families. The “highly accurate” tests found that only 7.2 per cent of smokers from among the adults tested were infected while four times as many non-smokers, some 28 per cent, were infected.

Arnaud Fontanet, an epidemiologist at the institute, warned that they were not encouraging people to take up smoking, remarking that those smokers who do catch the virus “risk suffering more complications” than others. Scientists suggested it could be the nicotine in cigarettes that was behind the surprising results regarding infection, although more research is needed.

A study from China prompted Public Health England and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States to put smoking on the list of 'risk factors' for coronavirus earlier in the crisis.

Public Health England said: "Smoking tobacco is known to damage the lungs and airways causing a range of severe respiratory problems. The evidence clearly shows Covid-19 virus attacks the respiratory system, which explains why smokers are at greater risk. A small but highly impactful survey from China finds that smokers with Covid-19 are 14 times more likely to develop severe disease."

The results appear to tally with another study by the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, which questioned 480 patients who tested positive for the virus.

According to their findings, among the 350 patients hospitalised, whose median age was 65, only 4.4 per cent were regular smokers. Among those released home, with a median age of 44, 5.3 per cent smoked.

The French health authority Santé Publique France puts the number of smokers in the general population at 32 per cent of people between 18 to 75 years old.

“Compared to the French general population, the Covid-19 population exhibited a significantly weaker current daily smoker rate by 80.3 per cent for outpatients and by 75.4 per cent for inpatients,” the researchers wrote in their study.

“Thus, current smoking status appears to be a protective factor against the infection by SARS-CoV-2.”

The researchers said that a “nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)” plays a key role in infection from the coronavirus and that nicotine may act to protect this receptor from attack. It may also lessen the overreaction of the body’s immune system that has been found in the most severe cases of Covid-19 infection.

The only rational reasonable course to me is just let the thing take it's course, with the vulnerable staying in, on their own volition, and perhaps implementing some modest distancing, but not too much. Our bodies need to get used to the thing since it's not going anywhere, but will be incorporated into life like colds and flu. We may have to do some unpalatable things like accept a certain amount of death and maybe start allowing euthanasia for those who want it or who may have a tough exit.

The alternative - to ''wait'' until some fix comes along, is unacceptable. Life is already going 20 ways to sideways here where I am, I can't imagine how dystopian it will be even in a few months time if this lockdown isn't ended.

Leaders salivating at their chance to get more power to surveil and corral people. Tons of weapons and invasive technology courtesy of the US military, in the hands of local law enforcement, all in cooperation with big tech and big pharma. If we don't resist this now we are truly screwed.

No good options and we are not used to these kind of Hobson's choices.

Also, Ben claims the virus isn't going to be the big killer. That will come from the lack of food and and availability of healthcare. Food shortages already in the pipeline that haven't yet hit.

Peter Hitchens: 'Coronavirus lockdown like a national heart attack'

Journalist Peter Hitchens tells Mike Graham that the coronavirus lockdown is not sustainable "for very much longer. People have put up with it... but there is a limit. If the government don't act there will be a unilateral undermining of the lockdown."

He says there does not seem to be any action from any government in the world that has materially altered the numbers of deaths and infections. Peter says until there is a general debate on whether the government's policy approach is correct or not on factual grounds, we are "unlikely to get anywhere".

Peter Hitchens says coronavirus is "like a national heart attack" where there is a risk of long term economic damage if we let the current situation go on too long.

Blood-pressure drugs are in the crosshairs of COVID-19 research
By Deborah J. Nelson

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/blood-pressure-drugs-crosshairs-covid-100706799.html

(Reuters) - Scientists are baffled by how the coronavirus attacks the body - killing many patients while barely affecting others.

But some are tantalized by a clue: A disproportionate number of patients hospitalized by COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, have high blood pressure. Theories about why the condition makes them more vulnerable – and what patients should do about it – have sparked a fierce debate among scientists over the impact of widely prescribed blood-pressure drugs.

Researchers agree that the life-saving drugs affect the same pathways that the novel coronavirus takes to enter the lungs and heart. They differ on whether those drugs open the door to the virus or protect against it. Resolving that question has taken on new urgency after an April 8 report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 72% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients 65 or older had hypertension.

The drugs are known as ACE inhibitors and ARBs, broad categories that include Vasotec, Valsartan, Irbesartan, as well as their generic versions. In a recent interview with a medical journal, Anthony Fauci - the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert - cited a report showing similarly high rates of hypertension among COVID-19 patients who died in Italy and suggested the medicines, rather than the underlying condition, may act as an accelerant for the virus.

Efforts to understand how the virus uses the pathway to the heart and lungs, and the role of the medicines, are complicated by a lack of rigorous studies.

“There are millions of Americans that take an ACE inhibitor or AR daily,” said Dr Caleb Alexander, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Drug Safety and Effectiveness in Baltimore. “This is one of the most important clinical questions.”

An estimated 100 million U.S. residents suffer from high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. About four-fifths of them need to take prescription drugs to control it, according to the CDC. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are widely prescribed to patients with congestive heart failure, diabetes or kidney disease. The drugs account for billions of dollars in prescription sales worldwide.

The absence of clear answers on how the drugs impact COVID-19 patients has sparked rampant speculation in correspondence and editorials posted on medical journal websites and those where scientists share unreviewed, pre-publication study drafts.

Many patients are agonizing over whether their medicines will help or hurt them. Doris Kertzner, 88, of Redding, Conn., said she has carefully followed experts’ guidelines for preventing infection and keeps her distance from others in her retirement community. Now she has a new worry: She takes losartan, an ARB, and can’t decide whether to stop.

Dropping the medicine “presents its own problems” in dealing with her high blood pressure.

“It’s gotten very complicated,” she said.

Dr Carlos M. Ferrario - a researcher at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and co-author of widely cited studies on ACE inhibitors - understands patients’ plight.

“There is a lot of paranoia and a lot of speculation with very little fundamental, convincing information,” he said.

The National Institutes of Health in the United States has put out a call seeking proposals for studies into the issue. An independent consortium of researchers has launched a global study to analyze health records for thousands of COVID-19 patients in the United States, Europe and Asia. That project is part of the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics program, an open-source research platform that enables large-scale studies.

Dr Marc Suchard - a biostatistician at the University of California, Los Angeles who is leading the study - said that it aims to determine whether the medicines make infections more likely or more severe - or, by contrast, whether they help protect against the virus. Suchard said he expects a preliminary report within two weeks.

MORE TARGETS FOR THE VIRUS

There is evidence that the drugs may increase the presence of an enzyme - ACE2 - that produces hormones that lower blood pressure by widening blood vessels. That's normally a good thing. But the coronavirus also targets ACE2 and has developed spikes that can latch on to the enzyme and penetrate cells, researchers have found. So more enzymes provide more targets for the virus, potentially increasing the chance of infection or making it more severe.

Other evidence, however, suggests the infection's interference with ACE2 may lead to higher levels of a hormone that causes inflammation, which can result in acute respiratory distress syndrome, a dangerous build-up of fluid in the lungs. In that case, ARBs may be beneficial because they block some of the hormone’s damaging effects.

Novartis International AG and Sanofi SA are among the major drugmakers selling ACE inhibitors and ARBs.

Sanofi spokesman Nicolas Kressmann said that patients should consult their doctors on whether to continue taking the drugs but that the company has found insufficient evidence that they worsen COVID-19 through its own assessment of available scientific data.

The company reviewed several recent studies from China that came to conflicting conclusions about whether COVID-19 patients with hypertension fare worse than other patients, he said.

Novartis has not issued any guidance to clinicians or patients and defers to scientists studying the issue, said spokesman Eric Althoff.

Researchers and doctors generally agree that people with severe hypertension or heart failure should keep taking the drugs because of the high risks of stopping. The debate centers on how to advise the many patients with milder conditions who take the drugs. Two camps have emerged - one calling for no action unless the drugs are proven dangerous, the other for some limits on their use until they are proven safe.

The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at University of Oxford in England has recommended that clinicians consider withdrawing the medicines in patients with mild hypertension if they are in a high risk group, such as medical workers - and replacing them with alternative blood pressure-lowering drugs.

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) took the opposite tack, highlighting the drugs’ potential in fighting coronavirus and recommending patients continue taking the drugs until more about the risks is known. Several of the scientists who co-authored it had done extensive, industry-supported research on antihypertensive drugs.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Dr Kevin Kavanagh, founder of Health Watch USA, a patient advocacy organization, questioned whether scientists who are funded by the drug industry should be advising clinicians, given the high stakes.

“You need to consider stepping back, and let others without a conflict of interest try to make a call,” Kavanagh said.

His organization recommends that doctors temporarily avoid putting new patients on the drugs and warn those currently on them to take extreme precautions to avoid virus exposure.

Dr Scott David Solomon, a co-author of the NEJM article, conducts industry-financed research but said it has no influence on his position.

“Not only is there no compelling evidence that we should be discontinuing those medications, but there's reason to think that doing so might actually cause harm,” said Solomon, who is the director of noninvasive cardiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

The lack of consensus leaves doctors to navigate the issue patient by patient. Alexander, of Johns Hopkins, is trying to strike a balance in his own practice. Patients with more severe blood-pressure problems may need to keep taking the medicines, he said, while patients with milder or newly diagnosed cases could instead take one of the “literally dozens” of alternative hypertension treatments.

“Rest assured,” he said, “there are dozens of scientific teams working feverishly to put this question to bed.”

Coronavirus: Westminster Bridge crowds flout social distancing again during Clap for Carers
Will TaylorNews Reporter
Yahoo News UK

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-westminster-bridge-clap-for-carers-091559324.html

Anger at a crowd gathering at Westminster Bridge to clap for the nation’s carers despite social distancing rules has been voiced for the second week.

The show of support for NHS staff and key workers – taking place every Thursday at 8pm – has provided a way for the public to back those on the frontline of the coronavirus crisis.

But criticism has again been directed at those who congregated at Westminster Bridge for the applause, a week after the Met admitted social distancing was ignored at the event.

Though some members of the public can be seen keeping a safe distance, and emergency workers are limited with how they can practise it given their work, packed crowds can still be seen mingling and applauding.

The government has advised to keep space between people from outside your own household and said the public should only leave home for essential reasons like exercise.

That is designed to slow the spread of the virus and prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed with patients.

Social media users commented that it was ironic some people at the event were showing their support for workers but not following the rules which were implemented to help them.

Last week, the Met criticised those who failed to follow the government’s rules and said it regularly spoke to its officers about social distancing.

“Officers, along with other emergency service workers, came together last night on Westminster Bridge to celebrate the work of all key workers,” a spokesperson said on April 16.

“A large number of members of the public also gathered to express their gratitude.

“While many people adhered to social distancing guidance, it appears that some did not.

“We regularly remind our officers of the importance of social distancing where practical, and will continue do so.”

There are now 138,078 confirmed cases of coronavirus cases in the UK, with 18,738 hospital deaths related to COVID-19.

Coronavirus detected on particles of air pollution

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-detected-particles-air-pollution-132923789.html

Coronavirus has been detected on particles of air pollution by scientists investigating whether this could enable it to be carried over longer distances and increase the number of people infected.

The work is preliminary and it is not yet known if the virus remains viable on pollution particles and in sufficient quantity to cause disease.

The Italian scientists used standard techniques to collect outdoor air pollution samples at one urban and one industrial site in Bergamo province and identified a gene highly specific to Covid-19 in multiple samples. The detection was confirmed by blind testing at an independent laboratory.

Leonardo Setti at the University of Bologna in Italy, who led the work, said it was important to investigate if the virus could be carried more widely by air pollution.

“I am a scientist and I am worried when I don’t know,” he said. “If we know, we can find a solution. But if we don’t know, we can only suffer the consequences.”

Two other research groups have suggested air pollution particles could help coronavirus travel further in the air.

A statistical analysis by Setti’s team suggests higher levels of particle pollution could explain higher rates of infection in parts of northern Italy before a lockdown was imposed, an idea supported by another preliminary analysis. The region is one of the most polluted in Europe.

Neither of the studies by Setti’s team have been peer-reviewed and therefore have not been endorsed by independent scientists. But experts agree their proposal is plausible and requires investigation.

Previous studies have shown that air pollution particles do harbour microbes and that pollution is likely to have carried the viruses causing bird flu, measles and foot-and-mouth disease over considerable distances.

The potential role of air pollution particles is linked to the broader question of how the coronavirus is transmitted. Large virus-laden droplets from infected people’s coughs and sneezes fall to the ground within a metre or two. But much smaller droplets, less than 5 microns in diameter, can remain in the air for minutes to hours and travel further.

Experts are not sure whether these tiny airborne droplets can cause coronavirus infections, though they know the 2003 Sars coronavirus was spread in the air and that the new virus can remain viable for hours in tiny droplets.

But researchers say the importance of potential airborne transmission, and the possible boosting role of pollution particles, mean it must not be ruled out without evidence.

Prof Jonathan Reid at Bristol University in the UK is researching airborne transmission of coronavirus. “It is perhaps not surprising that while suspended in air, the small droplets could combine with background urban particles and be carried around.”

He said the virus had been detected in tiny droplets collected indoors in China.

Setti said tiny droplets between 0.1 and 1 micron may travel further when coalesced with pollution particles up to 10 microns than on their own. This is because the combined particle is larger and less dense than the droplet and can remain buoyed by the air for longer.

“The pollution particle is like a micro-airplane and the passengers are the droplets,” said Sett. Reid is more cautious: “I think the very small change in the size of the [combined] particles is unlikely to play much of a role.”

Prof Frank Kelly at Imperial College London said the idea of pollution particles carrying the virus further afield was an interesting one. “It is possible, but I would like to see this work repeated by two or three groups.”

Another expert, Prof John Sodeau at University College Cork, in the Republic of Ireland, said: “The work seems plausible. But that is the bottom line at the moment, and plausible [particle] interactions are not always biologically viable and may have no effect in the atmosphere.” He said the normal course of scientific research might take two or three years to confirm such findings.

Other research has indicated correlations between increased Covid-19 deaths and higher levels of air pollution before the pandemic. Long-term exposure to dirty air is known to damage lung health, which could make people more vulnerable to Covid-19.

On a dutch alternative news site i found this article;

German research shows:
“Covid virus is not transmissible
through objects ”

The German virologist prof.dr. Hendrik Streeck
According to the German virologist Hendrik Streeck, after research in the Heinsberg region near Sittard, the following conclusion may be drawn: “The corona virus is not permitted via latches, mobile phones, remote controls, cats or in hairdressing salons of shops. The risk of contamination exists especially if people are together for hours in a narrow room. “It would therefore be - to call it a cross street of the Corona hysteria that dear supermarket, garden center and hardware store employees have been cleaning the carts uselessly for more than 2 weeks .. And there is unfounded panic about tackling cash. . !!!

And, Professor Dr. Hendrik Streeck (42) is not just anyone. Because he is director of the Institute of Virology of the University of Bonn. In the case of COVID-19, he is particularly interested in the effect of the Coronavirus on humans and his immune system. He bases his own words only on facts and not on all kinds of general calculation models.

He was the first researcher to go door to door with his research team, in the hard-hit municipality of Gangelt (Heinsberg). There the virus had broken out in mid-February, after a carnival party. Each Corona patient was questioned by them and samples of the air were taken from these people's homes. And smears from door handles, cell phones, remotes, toilet seats, etc. were taken. You could say a thorough investigation ..!

What they were the first to determine is that no less than 70% of the infected persons assessed suffered from a loss of smell and taste for a few days. It is a characteristic observation, that we are now hearing around us from (ex-) Corona patients. Last week, Professor Streeck announced his new findings in the ZDF talk show Lanz.

Because he plainly determined:

“We are now certain that Covid-19 is not a contact infection. Not a single live virus has been found on objects, not even among the most heavily infected families. There is also no proven contamination at purchases, at hairdressers or in restaurants.
A door handle can only be contagious if someone coughs in his hands, immediately grabs the handle and then someone else touches the handle. ”

Roche Holding AG Chief Executive Officer Severin Schwan blasted competitors whose tests for potential immunity to the coronavirus have been subject to high-profile flops.

“Every kind of amateur can produce an antibody test,” Schwan said on a call with reporters Wednesday. “The question is, does it really work?”

“I can tell you, it’s a disaster,” he said. “These tests are not worth anything. Or have very little use.”

The new doubts about the efficacy of the tests were raised at the same time that the two largest U.S. laboratory testing companies, Quest Diagnostics Inc. and Laboratory Corp of America Holdings, said they plan to greatly increase their antibody screening capacity in coming days.

Antibody testing, intended to detect prior exposure to the virus rather than current infection, is easier to roll out widely. The kits generally need fewer components and fewer highly skilled lab workers. The hurdle has been developing an antibody test that’s reliable. Such programs usually need years to gain regulatory approval.

For its antibody test, Roche decided to use blood drawn intravenously, rather than from a simpler finger prick, because that ensures greater reliability, according to Schwan.

Failures might sow confusion in the public and politicians, he said.

“I know it’s so hard to believe or even think about or hear, but I keep uncovering everything I can to try to bring this to you and that’s why I say that with some realm of confidence, here that I really believe this is happening.”

Meanwhile, Dr Judy Mikovits tweeted yesterday that COVID-19 is the cumulation of “40 years of us putting all these viruses in the vaccines”, which got me to thinking about the FunVax, which I posted about way back in 2011, a vaccine that was supposed to turn Islamic Extremists into “normal people”. One wonders if elements of FunVax will be included in the forced vaccine the Deep State has in store for us?

An illustrious physician with over 130 patents who subscribes to FKTV has told me he fears that it will be and he’s concerned that the Deep State intends to wipe out our experience of connection with God.

He told me, “It’s game over for us if we let this vax be accepted. It’s the end of freedom over your own DNA, at best and cutting the cord to higher consciousness and God, at worst. Either way, welcome to hell. Either way, it’s Mark of the Beast. There’s no bigger issue facing the world [than resisting the coronavirus vaccine].”

FunVax was supposed to inhibit/decrease the expression of VMAT2 within a human population via a viral vector. The VMAT2 gene, also referred to as the “God gene” has been shown to correlate to one’s experience of spirituality.

Allegedly, the Pentagon had conducted tests on six different methods of dispersing the virus: “high altitude release, water supply release, insect transmission, diffusion by a ground level object such as a car, diffusion from a stationary object such as a bottle and infection of food supply such as cattle or produce.”

YouAreFreeTV mentions FunVax and its kinship with the behavior modification aspect of chemtrails. She thinks the docility of the American public, in the face of having everything taken away from them, might come from all of the lithium that she says is being sprayed on us in the geoengineering aerosols.

A Vital Paper: David Crowe challenges the discovery of the COVID-19 virus
by Jon Rappoport
April 24, 2020
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/04/24/a-vital-paper-david-crowe-challenges-the-discovery-of-the-covid-19-virus/

"Canadian author and independent researcher, David Crowe, has spent several decades analyzing and torpedoing SPECIFICS of conventional medical research. At the deepest level.

I’m talking about, for example, the mainstream claims of discovering new viruses.

Crowe doesn’t lay on vague brushstrokes. He goes to the core of fabrications and exposes them, chapter and verse.

His new paper, which he continues to update and expand, is: “Flaws in Coronavirus Pandemic Theory”.

Here I quote from the section of his paper where he takes up the question of discovery—have researchers actually found a new virus which they assert is the cause of a new pandemic, COVID-19?

At the end of this article, I list the published papers Crowe refers to by number, as he takes apart the very basis of the COVID illusion.

David Crowe: “Scientists are detecting novel RNA in multiple patients with pneumonia-like conditions, and are assuming that the detection of RNA (which is believed to be wrapped in proteins to form an RNA virus, as coronaviruses are believed to be) is equivalent to isolation of the virus. It is not, and one of the groups of scientists was honest enough to admit this”:

“’we did not perform tests for detecting infectious virus in blood’” [2]

“But, despite this admission, earlier in the paper they repeatedly referred to the 41 cases (out of 59 similar cases) that tested positive for this RNA as, ‘41 patients…confirmed to be infected with 2019-nCoV’.”

“Another paper quietly admitted that”:

“’our study does not fulfill Koch’s postulates’” [1]

“Koch’s postulates, first stated by the great German bacteriologist Robert Koch in the late 1800s, can simply be stated as”:

“* Purify the pathogen (e.g. virus) from many cases with a particular illness.
* Expose susceptible animals (obviously not humans) to the pathogen.
* Verify that the same illness is produced.
* Some add that you should also re-purify the pathogen, just to be sure that it really is creating the illness.”

“Famous virologist Thomas Rivers stated in a 1936 speech, ‘It is obvious that Koch’s postulates have not been satisfied in viral diseases’. That was a long time ago, but the same problem still continues. None of the papers referenced in this article have even attempted to purify the virus. And the word ‘isolation’ has been so debased by virologists it means nothing (e.g. adding impure materials to a cell culture and seeing cell death is ‘isolation’).”

“Reference [1] did publish electron [microscope] micrographs, but it can clearly be seen in the lesser magnified photo, that the particles believed to be coronavirus are not purified as the quantity of material that is cellular is much greater. The paper notes that the photos are from ‘human airway epithelial cells’. Also consider that the photo included in the article will certainly be the ‘best’ photo, i.e. the one with the greatest number of particles. Lab technicians may be encouraged to spend hours to look around to find the most photogenic image, the one that most looks like pure virus.”

“There is no way to tell that the RNA being used in the new coronavirus PCR test is found in those particles seen under the electron micrograph. There is no connection between the test, and the particles, and no proof that the particles are viral.”

“A similar situation was revealed in March 1997 concerning HIV, when two papers published in the same issue of the journal ‘Virology’ revealed that the vast majority of what had previously been called ‘pure HIV’ was impurities that were clearly not HIV, and the mixture also included microvesicles that look very similar to HIV under an electron microscope, but are of cellular origin.” [5][6]

In a half-sane world, David Crowe’s analysis would provoke an open honest discussion and debate among all sorts of scientists and researchers, and the repressed truth would tumble out and be confirmed.

Of course, we do not live in that world.

Instead, we have mistake-prone researchers and outright liars welcomed into the hallowed pages of medical journals. They are enabled by editors who look the other way.

The consequences, of course, aren’t merely academic.

A planet can be placed on lockdown.

Do I really need to say this at this late date—without the discovery of an actual disease-causing virus, the whole “pandemic” falls apart. The whole “spreading virus” assertion falls apart."

Link between air pollution and coronavirus deaths in England, study suggests
[PA Media: UK News]

Link between air pollution and coronavirus deaths in England, study suggests

Higher air pollution could be linked to increased deaths and cases of coronavirus in England, a preliminary study suggests.

An analysis by the Medical Research Council Toxicology Unit at Cambridge University compared regional data on total Covid-19 cases and deaths, against levels of three major air pollutants.

The study used data from seven regions in England, where a minimum of 2,000 infections and 200 deaths are reported from February to April 8, 2020, and air pollution records from more than 120 sites in 2018 and 2019.

Levels of pollutants nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen oxide, much of which comes from traffic fumes, were highest in London, the Midlands and the North West and lowest in southern regions of England.

Fatalities of people with the coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, followed the same trend, the study found, suggesting the higher the pollution levels, the greater number of Covid-19 cases and deaths.

The researchers said their study provided evidence that higher levels of some air pollutants correlate with increased Covid-19 mortality and spread in England.

But other experts warned that the results did not show a causal link between poor air quality and worse Covid-19, adding disease transmission and death would be expected to be higher in highly-populated areas such as London, which also have higher air pollution.

Though most people with the virus have a mild illness, some patients go on to develop severe respiratory conditions, and scientists are trying to work out why some sufferers are more at risk of a serious response than others.

Previous studies have pointed to a higher risk for older people or those with underlying health conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer.

Long-term exposure to air pollutants from car exhaust fumes or burning fossil fuels can put people at risk of these health conditions, and can also increase the risk of infection by viruses that affect people’s airways.

Marco Travaglio, a PhD student at the MRC Toxicology Unit, said: “Our results provide the first evidence that SARS-CoV-2 case fatality is associated with increased nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide levels in England.

“London, the Midlands and the North West show the largest concentration of these air pollutants, with southern regions displaying the lowest levels in the country, and the number of Covid-19 deaths follows a similar trend.”

The researchers say that their findings, which have not yet been peer reviewed, only show a correlation between dirty air and more severe Covid-19 disease.

Further research is needed to confirm that air pollution makes Covid-19 worse, but it does chime with findings from other parts of the world including northern Italy and the United States.

Dr Miguel Martins, senior author on the study, added: “Our study adds to growing evidence from Northern Italy and the USA that high levels of air pollution are linked to deadlier cases of Covid-19.

“This is something we saw during the previous Sars outbreak back in 2003, where long-term exposure to air pollutants had a detrimental effect on the prognosis of Sars patients in China.

“This highlights the importance of reducing air pollution for the protection of human health, both in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.”

Professor Keith Neal, Emeritus Professor of the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases, University of Nottingham, said the study used the number of deaths rather than the death rate per population, which made larger cities look worse, such as London and Birmingham.

“Covid-19 around the world has affected areas with the greatest population densities to a much greater degree.

“The population density and more people to get infected could well explain their results rather than the direct effects of air pollution,” he said.

Excerpt from Chris Martenson's latest:

There are two indicators. The Case Fatality Ratio, or CFR, is the ratio of the deaths and the diagnosed cases. So you are right for NY that would be something around 8%.

The arguments of the naysayers tend to be that this is not worse than the flu. They use the CFR of the flu, 0.1%-0.2%, and they say that the number of infected with SARS-CoV-2 is higher than the number of diagnosed.

For example:

• 21% of New Yorkers have antibodies they say, in other words, 4 million New
Yorkers have been infected.

• There are 20.861 deaths, so 20.861 x 100%/4million = 0.5%.

• Next they compare this number, 0.5%, with the CFR of the flu 0.2%.

But,… the ratio involving the number of infected is not the CFR, it is the IFR, the Infection Fatality Ratio. They compare apples and oranges. If you do it like this, you also have to compare against the IFR of the flu.

A recent flu pandemic was the 2009 H1N1. The IFR of this flu is estimated to be 0.2% [source], while the CFR is less than 1%. So assuming that the CFR for the 2009 H1N1 equals the CFR of the seasonal flu for New York,

• CFR: 8% versus 0.2% --> COVID19 is 40 times deadlier (For H1N1 CFR<1,
this would be between 20X (US) and 8X).

• IFR: 0.5% versus 0.02% --> COVID19 is 25 times deadlier than H1N1.

Here are a few snippets from an article published by the CEBM (Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in Oxford). They tried to estimate the values for COVID-19

Case Fatality Rates (CFR): 0.72%
Infection Fatality Rates (IFR): between 0.1% and 0.36%

But these numbers are just a rough estimate -- the article explains why these values should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Emphasis mine.

This page is updated daily as new information emerges. It sets out the current Case Fatality Rate (CFR) estimates, the country-specific issues affecting the CFR, and provides a current best estimate of the CFR, and more importantly, the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR).

The IFR estimates the fatality rate in all those with infection: the detected disease (cases) and those with an undetected disease (asymptomatic and not tested group).

Estimating COVID-19 Case Fatality Rates (CFR) Update 9th April:

Our current best assumption, as of the 9th April, is the CFR is 0.72% – the lowest end of the current prediction interval and in line with several other estimates.

Evaluating CFR during a pandemic is, however, a very hazardous exercise, and high-end estimates should be treated with caution as the H1N1 pandemic highlights that original estimates were out by a factor greater than 10.

We now want to draw your attention to the flaws in CFR estimation due to the changing nature of the testing regimes.

[...]

Estimating COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rates (IFR)

[...]

In Swine flu, the IFR ended up as 0.02%, fivefold less than the lowest estimate during the outbreak (the lowest estimate was 0.1% in the 1st ten weeks of the outbreak). In Iceland, where the most testing per capita has occurred, the IFR lies somewhere between 0.01% and 0.19%.

Taking account of historical experience, trends in the data, increased number of infections in the population at largest, and potential impact of misclassification of deaths gives a presumed estimate for the COVID-19 IFR somewhere between 0.1% and 0.36%.*

Data from COVID deaths in Gangelt, Germany, suggests an IFR of 0.37%. A random sample of 1,000 residents of Gangelt found that 14% were carrying antibodies (2% were detected cases), which led to the lowering of the IFR estimates

Multiple studies are occurring into Hydroxychloroquine around the world and results are patchy at best. Negative early results will be used to shut down any ideas of doctors prescribing this drug.

Again this reeks of a big pharma hit job.They do not want to see cheap effective remedies. This drug is well established in the production system as it is widely used against malaria, it is cheap and out of patent. It is the last thing that big pharma and the vaccine industry want to see gaining acceptance. We are seeing media drops about side effects and heart issues. more fear tactics.

How will big pharma shut this down? easy.They exert covert control over medical research, it is near dictatorial. Therefore the studies happening can be sabotaged. This is being done by ignoring the protocols that the doctors claiming results are advocating, which are to combine the hydroxychloroquine with zinc and azithromycin.

studies seem to be all looking at the drug in isolation, without the zinc and azithromycin.Therefore they will not be able to duplicate the results that the doctors are claiming, but the negative results that will come through will be used to intimidate doctors away from prescribing.

This trick happened with DCA , canadian doctors claimed great results against cancer, and stated that to get the right dosage, you had to risk mild neuropathy , but this could be prevented with vitamin b12 supplementation.

When the australians did a trial on DCA , they had to stop half way through as the neuropathy was too severe. This failed study will scare doctors off trying DCA of course. Surprise surprise, the study did not include the b12. Therefore to me it was just another big pharma hit piece on a cheap effective drug.

glad to say that at least one study seems to be doing it right:

"Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart donates $2.6m to fund a trial of a controversial drug pushed as a coronavirus 'game changer' by US President Donald Trump

Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart has donated $2.6million towards trial
Trial will see multiple combination of drugs used to treat coronavirus patients
Anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is used with zinc, vitamin C and antibiotic
The trial is not searching for a cure but rather a better treatment for patients
Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19

Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart has donated $2.6million towards a trial of an anti-malaria drug that US President Donald Trump has touted as a COVID-19 'game changer'.

The money from the billionaire mining tycoon will go towards a 'multi-therapy' trial involving Australian and American hospitals.

The Alliance COVID-19 Trial will see coronavirus patients treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc, antibiotic azithromycin and intravenous vitamin C.

The primary aim of the study is to reduce deaths resulting from COVID-19, and the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and prolonged hospital stays. "

Another week of grappling with the what is what....

L22hboXffXY

This was an outstanding presentation. Del is right on target and his analysis sums up perfectly where we're at with this pandemic and what the media, technocrats, and medical authoritarians have failed to convey honestly to the public. This information is now obvious; ventilators are stacked up unused, hospitals are operating at 25% capacity, and the death rate is well under 1.00%. Why not end the fiasco? The general explanation is anywhere from the authorities need to double down to save face to it was never about the danger of the pandemic in the first place, it was about ushering in the NWO, mandatory vaccines, digital cash, etc.

Any explanation on that continuum is not good and we need to stop this madness and end the draconian lockdown now, taking the appropriate measures we might given a nasty flu season, including wearing masks if the variables are an elevated Ro and asymptomatic transmission.

That said, there is still a potential problem I see with this analysis and another reason why those in power (who are privy to what's really going on behind the curtain) may not be capitulating to the facts. I am by no means disagreeing with Del here; I'm just considering a potential problem with its underlying assumptions. Remember, any theory or understanding is only as good as the data on which it's founded.

For example, given what we know about RT-PCR testing, there is a very real possibility this entire pandemic, whatever it is, is all based on faulty--likely deliberately faulty and misleading--statistics. If that is the case it shouldn't surprise us that we are now coming to understand COVID-19 is no more deadly that the season flu, certainly much less deadly than the media/CDC/WHO hype that triggered mass panic and a public willingness to catapult the entire world into the next Great Depression. We now know both the CFR (number of deaths per confirmed cases) and IFR (number of deaths per all those infected) of COVID-19 are in line with the CFR/IFR of the common flu (Chris Martensen correctly points out the death rate of COVID-19 is still many times greater than the flu if we compare the CFR of the flu with the IFR of COVID-19, but Martensen is also assuming the CFR/IFR deaths ascribed to COVID-19, e.g. the numerator of both formulas, is accurate. It is fairly clear based on a wide range of sources that this number is agenda-ridden and, to-date, largely overstated in the case of COVID-19 for reasons we can debate but which are nonetheless irrelevant to the fact. For one such source, see the 56:43 - 1:02 segment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L22hboXffXY) of this very video. So after we take into account the real death rate as imposed to the inflated one, we are likely right back down to comparing the IFR/IFR death rates of flu/COVID-19, e.g. oranges to oranges, resulting in the same or a similar range). In any case, they are both under 1.00% regardless of whether COVID-19-relatated deaths are some factor greater than flu-related deaths. That is multiple times less than the erroneous models that precipitated the lockdown.

All said, a nagging problem I have with the new analysis of the statistics is this: might we be analyzing the statistics of the common cold through and through, in which case both the CFR and IFR of the common cold, including the IgG antibodies we are now detecting throughout the population, are but the immunity antibodies of the common cold?

If this were a contagious bioweapon to which most of the population has not yet been exposed, and if the bioweapon were some other form of virus or substance we aren't even testing for but is nonetheless responsible for the deaths we are attributing to COVID-19 (whatever that real number is), and if I wanted to cover up said crimes against humanity, what better way to do so than to ascribe the whole fiasco to a benign coronavirus family? It's the perfect cover. The PTB could attribute unfortunate deaths due to the bioweapon to virtually anyone under the weather during the winter cold season, who would test positive for the disease in pandemic numbers (hence the panic).

Working off these assumptions, which were established early on in the narrative, we are tethered to analyzing the "pandemic" through and through on the same faulty cornerstone, i.e., virtually everybody who has survived the ascribed variant of the common cold will also test positive for the antibodies. When we come to understand these statistics (which are now coming to light), it reduces the COVID-19 death rate well below 1.00%. But what if we're way off track from the outset?

This is just a potential problem I see. If there is evidence to suggest the isolated virus causing the correlation is indeed SARS-CoV-2, I'd like to examine that a little more. This SARS-CoV-2 tag could all be a red herring.

Coronavirus: Government adviser questions science behind two-metre social distancing
Jimmy Nsubuga
Yahoo News UK

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-social-distancing-lockdown-scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies-180826409.html

The two-metre social distancing rule for coronavirus was “conjured up out of nowhere”, a government adviser has claimed.

Authorities have told people to stay at least two metres apart when out in public but this distance has been questioned by Robert Dingwall from the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag).

Nervtag is one of the organisations that feed information into the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which is a crucial part of the government’s COVID-19 response.

Nottingham Trent University sociology professor Dingwall told Radio 4's Today: “We cannot sustain [social distancing measures] without causing serious damage to society, to the economy and to the physical and mental health of the population.

'I think it will be much harder to get compliance with some of the measures that really do not have an evidence base.

“I mean the two-metre rule was conjured up out of nowhere.”

Dingwall said there was a certain amount of scientific evidence for a one-metre distance but there’s never been a scientific basis for two metres.

He called it a “kind of a rule of thumb” and said there wasn’t rigorous scientific literature that it is founded on.
Latest coronavirus news, updates and advice

Ministers have not set out an exit strategy to the current lockdown, despite coming under pressure to do so.

Health secretary Matt Hancock told Radio 4’s Today programme that easing the UK’s lockdown depended on the speed at which the number of new cases of Covid-19 falls and that is as yet “unknown”.

Meanwhile, people may be permitted to see ten friends or family members as lockdown restrictions for coronavirus are eased, according to a report from Mail Online.

The government is looking at plans for the next stage of the pandemic which involve small groups being allowed to meet up.

People would be allowed to select an unchangeable list of friends and family they wanted to meet for meals and social activities.

A Whitehall source said: “If we can find a way to allow a bit more flexibility without risking transmission of the disease running higher then we will do it.”

Isn't the timeline something like this:

In November, there were pneumonic plagues being treated in Beijing.

China could not be “covering up” what was only identified as a new disease on December 30, duly communicated to the WHO. Then, on January 3, the head of the American CDC, Robert Redfield, called the top Chinese CDC official. Chinese doctors sequenced the virus. And only on January 8 it was determined this was Sars-Cov-2 – which provokes Covid-19...how could U.S. intel have known about a contagion one month before Chinese doctors detected an unknown virus? Enough so that Israel confirms a Wuhan-related warning from November. Circumstances (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55094.htm) have it appearing that they "know" or respond to something that is not known in China.

It could easily be of U. S. origin and simply ignored until China discovered it.

I am not sure which is more accurate; the above, or the following, which is from Arabic, probably Egyptian, also believing that the deletion of phone numbers means millions of deaths, and also the release is intentional, specifically to get rid of the elderly so pensions and healthcare costs will be saved. I doubt those parts, but I really do not know the best version of "release":

11-10-2019: “On that date, the Chinese doctor, “Jiang Ki-Jian“, professor of virology and mononucleic cells at the National University of Wuhan pointed out the appearance of this virus for the first time in a paper he presented to the Higher Health Administration in Chinas’s Hubei. On 11-17-2019, the first viral infection was registered officially. And, likewise, the death of Dr. Ki-Jian was also registered and, by virtue of a report of the official coroner, his death was a result of “an extreme drop in blood flow.” What was revealed later was that it was an assassination undertaken by branches of the Chinese Intelligence (Services) seeing that (his report spread) a rumor aimed at defaming the good name of the province which was viewed as an important center for industry in China and (whose allegations) would seriously damage its economy."

Assassinations "revealed later" are perhaps a bit weird; obviously these dates do not match the other article, but it would give reasons for western intelligence to react in November.

Again, the New York study strongly suggests they had "thousands of cases in January", from which, it would be hard to say they did not have "some" cases last year. There is probably a much more real, unrecorded outbreak, but I am still unclear on the recorded one.

"One might ask, “Why is it that Trump has defunded the World Health Organization but he hasn’t fired Fauci and Birx? Aren’t they all on the same genocidal Bill Gates team?”

Nothing makes sense, right?

Based on her observations and research, YouAreFreeTV says that Trump is allowing these Deep State bioterrorists, who are sabotaging the global economy to hang themselves with their own hoax.

The coronavirus operation was long in the planning and the bioterroristic capabilities of the Deep State were going to have to be addressed, eventually. She says it has been the Deep State’s plan to replace their Muslim Extremist terrorism of ISIS and al Qaeda with bioterrorism.

“I know it’s so hard to believe or even think about or hear, but I keep uncovering everything I can to try to bring this to you and that’s why I say that with some realm of confidence, here that I really believe this is happening.”

Meanwhile, Dr Judy Mikovits tweeted yesterday that COVID-19 is the cumulation of “40 years of us putting all these viruses in the vaccines”, which got me to thinking about the FunVax, which I posted about way back in 2011, a vaccine that was supposed to turn Islamic Extremists into “normal people”. One wonders if elements of FunVax will be included in the forced vaccine the Deep State has in store for us?

An illustrious physician with over 130 patents who subscribes to FKTV has told me he fears that it will be and he’s concerned that the Deep State intends to wipe out our experience of connection with God.

He told me, “It’s game over for us if we let this vax be accepted. It’s the end of freedom over your own DNA, at best and cutting the cord to higher consciousness and God, at worst. Either way, welcome to hell. Either way, it’s Mark of the Beast. There’s no bigger issue facing the world [than resisting the coronavirus vaccine].”

FunVax was supposed to inhibit/decrease the expression of VMAT2 within a human population via a viral vector. The VMAT2 gene, also referred to as the “God gene” has been shown to correlate to one’s experience of spirituality.

Allegedly, the Pentagon had conducted tests on six different methods of dispersing the virus: “high altitude release, water supply release, insect transmission, diffusion by a ground level object such as a car, diffusion from a stationary object such as a bottle and infection of food supply such as cattle or produce.”

YouAreFreeTV mentions FunVax and its kinship with the behavior modification aspect of chemtrails. She thinks the docility of the American public, in the face of having everything taken away from them, might come from all of the lithium that she says is being sprayed on us in the geoengineering aerosols.

“Combined with the ionization of the skies, with the elctromagnetic lockdown, where we’re being entrained to be dulled.”

But people are starting to rise up. On May 2nd, there will be a lockdown protest in the captured Blue State of Oregon, and on May 3rd, Brian Rose of London Real, having now been de-platformed for an interview he did with David Icke is planning to do the most-viewed livestream in history."[/QUOTE]

David Icke on what is going on in old people's homes:

cO-Jvjhu3_E

People are being denied medical treatment (for cancer, for example) .... every death is automatically labelled a Covid-19 case ...... more people are going to die because of the lockdown rather than the virus .... screening is effectively paused in England ....a 75% drop in urgent referrals by GPs of people with suspected cancer ...for cancer treatment ... patients are not seeking help ....much of the diagnostic activity is on hold ....many treatments are being delayed.... we are seeing a massive decrease in elective cancer surgery ...
It seems to be madness, but in the shadows there is method. Everything is inverted because it is a scam. What people should be doing is go out in the sun.
He also talks about full-blown ventilators and the financial context in America. (an eye-opener)
He also says youtube and facebook are not only deleting videos that are critical of what's going on (like angry doctors), they are now also warning people who speak out publicly about having their videos deleted.
He believes that the vaccine has already been found, by Bill Gates, of course, but it comes with an agenda, obviously.
Then he references Aldous Huxley and George Orwell who knew what was to come.
A part of the British army (the 77th brigade) is setting out to undermine the views of people that challenge the official story online. They specialize on non-lethal forms of psychological warfare.
On the Isle of Wight, where David Icke lives, the army (the Scots Guards) arrived to "support the National Health Service" at St Mary's Hospital though the hospital is half empty. With 73 cases so far and 15 deaths most of which had underlying medical problems , they have shipped to the island and installed refrigerated containers for future Covid-19 victims "as a precaution" already.
Critical videos keep getting deleted.
5G is mentioned as well. British broadcasters are being banned from even mentioning 5G in this context and won't invite anybody to even debate the subject.
He says the foundation of this conspiracy is to manipulate people's psychology and this pandemic is an act of psychological warfare on the human psyche with the aim to produce the lockdown.
The last bit is about Bill Gates and his role in the whole thing.

Don't coerce public over contract-tracing app, say campaigners
The Guardian Matthew Weaver,The Guardian

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/dont-coerce-public-over-contract-112441467.html

Civil liberties campaigners are concerned that the public could be “coerced” into sharing data about their movements through a coronavirus contract-tracing app being developed by the government.

The health secretary, Matt Hancock, says the app, which will be available within weeks, is “crucial for holding down the rate and the level of transmission” of Covid-19.

But the campaign group Liberty is worried that signing up to the app could become a compulsory condition for returning to work and being allowed out of lockdown when conditions are eased. Such a condition would amount to coercion, Liberty claims.

The academic developing the app has said 60% of the population would need to sign up to the app to make it effective.

Clare Collier, the advocacy director at Liberty, said: “By presenting surveillance tools as a solution to lockdown, the government is drawing on the willingness we have all shown to make sacrifices in the face of this crisis while refusing to show it is taking seriously the enormous risks presented by invasive technology.”

She added: “Contact-tracing technology may require us to sacrifice deeply sensitive personal information and there can be no question of state bodies or private companies sharing our personal data other than what is absolutely necessary. It is vital no one is coerced into having the app installed, and using it as a condition for returning to work or everyday life will inevitably lead to discrimination.

“The opportunities presented by technology should be fully investigated, but seeking quick solutions in surveillance tools that rely on our personal data creates serious long-term threats to our rights and ways of life. The government needs to focus on providing a public health response that ensures we come through this crisis with our rights intact.”

Prof Christophe Fraser, of the University of Oxford, who is leading a team developing the app, said it would a require a very high take-up to be effective.

“For this intervention alone to stop a resurgence of the epidemic, about 60% of the population would have to use the app,” he told the BBC. “The app is going to be one of the building blocks of how to get out of the epidemic. For every one to two users who download the app and who adhere to the instructions, you will prevent one infection.”

He that if a person became infected, the app would send warning messages to anyone who had come within Bluetooth range of their phone. He said: “You’ll either get a message which says you’ve been in contact with a suspected case of Covid-19. Or you may later get a message and you’ve been a contact of a confirmed case. At that point, we would recommend quarantine of 14 days after the contact has taken place.”

He added: “When you install the app, this is an opt-in system so it will work in the background. Your phone builds up a memory of the sort of anonymous IDs of the other phones you come into contact with. It needs to be a contact long enough that there’s a risk of transmission.”

Asked about privacy concerns he said: “The NHS records patient data already and we trust the NHS to look after private data. This is being developed with a minimal amount of data – enough to make it work. It’s a public health intervention with data collected within a health system.”

Francis Boyle, a former advisory board member for the Council for Responsible Genetics, is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law.

His educational background1 includes an undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago, a juris doctor (lawyer) degree from Harvard and a Ph.D. in political science. For decades, he’s advocated against the development and use of bioweapons, which he suspects COVID-19 is.

In fact, Boyle was the one who called for biowarfare legislation at the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972, and the one who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by George Bush Sr.

In our first, March 8, 2020, interview, Boyle shared his views on the origins of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Here, we continue our discussion, as more details have emerged about this virus. One of the criticisms raised since our last interview is that Boyle has no formal training in virology. When asked what makes him qualified to speak about this particular virus, he says:

“I went to the University of Chicago, which is one of the top five universities in the country, if not the world. There I took their bio pre-med sequence, which was biochemistry, population biology and genetics, and got straight A's.

I was in there competing with all the University of Chicago bio pre-med students for grades and my biochem lab partner went to Harvard Medical School.

I won the University of Chicago's Sigma Zi award and prize in biology for my graduating year. They gave out one per year and it usually went to seniors, but in my case, they had to make a special exception because I was a graduating junior.

So, yes, I'm not a scientist, but one of the reasons the Council for Responsible Genetics asked me to get involved was that my knowledge in this field was well-known to my life science friends there on the Harvard faculty, and that's how I got involved here.

I had basic rudimentary training, actually very good training, at the University of Chicago, and my professors there, professor friends at Harvard in the life sciences, I guess they vouched for me. So, when I was asked to join shortly after CRG was founded in 1983, I agreed to do so and they asked me to handle their biological warfare work.”

SARS-CoV-2 — A Biological Warfare Weapon
“Novel coronavirus” means it is a new virus not previously known to previously infect humans. The currently held conventional view is that SARS-CoV-2 was transmitted through animals (zoonotic transmission), specifically bats. Boyle dismissed this notion in our initial interview, and still refutes the idea.

While a widely-cited paper,2 published in the Nature journal on February 3, 2020, claims to establish that SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus of bat origin that then jumped species, the work of one of the authors of that paper, Shi Zhengli, actually involved the weaponization of the SARS virus. (Another Nature paper3 published that same day reiterates the idea that the COVID-19 pandemic is zoonotically transmitted.)

However, according to Boyle, other scientific literature establishes that this is indeed an engineered synthetic virus that was not transmitted from animals to humans without human intervention.

For starters, a Lancet paper4 published February 15, 2020, by physicians who treated some of the first COVID-19 patients in China showed that patient zero, the one believed to have started the transmission, was nowhere near the Wuhan seafood market.

What’s more, there were no bats sold in or even close to the market. At least one-third of the patients reviewed also had no exposure or links to that market. This data supports the counter-hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was not zoonotically transmitted but is in fact an engineered virus.

Even U.S. politicians and intelligence agencies are starting to say they believe the virus leaked from the Wuhan BSL4 lab.5,6 In our first interview, Boyle discussed published research establishing that the novel coronavirus is SARS, which is a weaponized version of the coronavirus to begin with Wuhan BSL 4 lab, with added gain-of-function capabilities that increases its virulence (makes it spread easier and faster).

“I also went through the scientific article where the Australian health board working with Wuhan … genetically engineered HIV into SARS,” Boyle says. “So, that is all verified in scientific papers. In addition, it seems to me that they took that back to the [Wuhan] BSL4 and applied nanotechnology to it.

The size of the molecules are maybe 120 microns, which indicates to me we are dealing with nanotechnology. That's [something] you need to do in a BSL4. Biological weapons nanotechnology is so dangerous, people working with it have to wear a moon suit with portable air …

We also know that one of the cooperating institutions [to Wuhan BSL4] was Harvard, and that the chairman of the Harvard chemistry department, [Dr. Charles Lieber], a specialist in nanotechnology, set up an entire laboratory in Wuhan where [according to reports] he specialized in applying nanotechnology to chemistry and biology.

My guess is, based on what I've read in the literature, that they tried to weaponize all that together. And that is SARS-CoV-2 that we are dealing with now.

So, it's SARS, which is genetically engineered biowarfare agent to begin with. Second, it has gain-of-function properties, which makes it more lethal, more infectious. It has HIV in there. That was confirmed by an Indian scientist … and it looks like nanotechnology [has been used] … An MIT scientist who did a study found that it traveled 27 feet through the air. And that, I guess, was in lab conditions.

That, I think, is why it's so infectious, and that is what I believe we are dealing with here … [This is] why the 6-foot [social distancing recommendation] by the CDC … is preposterous. Even doubling that will do you no good. If there is nanotechnology, it floats in the air …

I am not saying that China deliberately released this, shooting itself in the foot. But it was clear they were developing an extremely dangerous unknown biological weapon that had never been seen before, and it leaked out of the lab.

And as you see in the Washington Post,7 U.S. State Department officials … [reported] back to Washington that there were inadequate safety precautions and procedures in that lab to begin with. We also know that SARS has leaked out of other Chinese biological warfare labs. So right now, I believe that is what happened here …

I personally believe that until our political leaders come clean with the American people, both at the White House and in Congress and our state government, and publicly admit that this is an extremely dangerous offensive biological warfare weapon that we are dealing with, I do not see that we will be able to confront it and to stop it, let alone defeat it.”

The Origin of SARS-CoV-2
While Boyle made the origin of SARS-CoV-2 clear in our initial conversation, as I started reading some of the literature it really was shocking because one of the primary investigators on the 2015 paper8 from the University of North Carolina — “A SARS-like Cluster of Circulating Bat Coronaviruses Shows Potential for Human Emergence” — was Dr. Shi Zhengli, a virologist who in 2010 had published a paper9 discussing the weaponization of the SARS virus.

Normally, while the coronavirus found in bats may be SARS,10 it typically does not infect humans as it does not target the ACE-2 receptor. The infectious agent causing the current pandemic is called SARS-CoV-2 — SARS standing for “serious acute respiratory infection” and CoV-2 indicating that it’s a second type of SARS coronavirus known to infect humans.

SARS-CoV-2, of course, contains the genetic modification to attach to ACE2 receptors in human cells, which allows it to infect them. Zhengli’s publications show that she engineered this bat coronavirus into one that crosses species and infects humans. She has in fact been working on this for more than 10 years.

“That is why I said SARS was a bioengineered warfare weapon to begin with,” Boyle says. “And that is what … [the University of] North Carolina and … the Australian lab were trying to make even more dangerous with the gain-of-function and the HIV. So … SARS was a biological warfare [agent] to begin with, it leaked, and that is the origin of the [COVID-19] epidemic.”

In addition, an Indian paper11,12 that ended up being withdrawn due to intense political pressure, shows a specific envelope protein from the HIV virus called GP41 was integrated in the RNA sequences of SARS-CoV-2. In other words, the implication is that the HIV virus was genetically engineered into SARS.

So, in summary, SARS-CoV-2 appears to be a bioengineered bat coronavirus13 — which was initially benign and nontransmittable to humans. Zhengli then genetically modified the virus to integrate spike proteins that allows the virus to enter human cells by attaching to ACE-2 receptors. That was the first modification.

The second modification was to integrate an envelope protein from HIV called GP141, which tends to impair the immune system. A third modification appears to involve nanotechnology to make the virus light enough to remain airborne for a long time, apparently giving it a range of up to 27 feet.14

Nanotech Expert With Wuhan Connection Arrested
While the BSL4 lab in Wuhan may have leaked the virus, its creation does not appear to be limited to the Chinese. As noted by Boyle in his comment above, the chairman of the Harvard department of chemistry, nanoscience expert Dr. Charles Lieber, was arrested earlier this year by federal agencies, suspected of illegal dealings with China.15 Lieber has denied the allegations.

The Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) allegedly paid him $50,000 a month from 2012 to 2017 to help establish and oversee the WUT-Harvard Joint Nano Key Laboratory. He also received another $150,000 a month in living expenses from China’s Thousand Talents program. The problem was, Harvard officials claim they had not approved the lab and didn’t know about it until 2015. Boyle comments:

“The cover story here — that Harvard didn't know what was going on — is preposterous. I spent seven years at Harvard. I have three degrees from Harvard. I spent two years teaching at Harvard.

Of course Harvard knew that its chair of the chemistry department had this lab in Wuhan, China, where he was working on nanotechnology with respect to chemical and biological materials. That's been reported. They didn't say what the materials were. In addition, it has now been reported that Harvard was a cooperating institution with the Wuhan BSL4.”

Researchers Working on Gain-of-Function to Spanish Flu
If you think SARS-CoV-2 is bad, be glad it’s not the weaponized version of Spanish flu, which has also been in the works, according to Boyle. He says:

“[The University of North Carolina’s] work was existentially dangerous and they knew it at the time. If you read the UNC scientific article16 [cowritten by] the Wuhan BSL4 scientist [Shi Zhengli] … it says, ‘Experiments with the full-length and chimeric SHC014 recombinant viruses were initiated and performed before the GOF research funding pause and have since been reviewed and approved for continued study by the NIH.’

It says recombinant … So, they admit it was gain-of-function [research]. [The research] was paused by NIH17 [National Institutes of Health]. Why was it paused by NIH? Because there was a letter put out by large numbers of life scientists at the time saying this type of gain-of-function work … could be existentially dangerous if it got out in the public. Therefore, it had to be terminated … [But] the NIH was funding this in the beginning …

A footnote here: I read the NIH’s pause letter to the University of North Carolina, and UNC was doing two gain-of-function research projects. The other one was with Dr. [Yoshihiro] Kawaoka from the University of Wisconsin, who had resurrected the Spanish flu virus18 for the Pentagon.

He, according to the pause letter, was also there doing gain-of-function work on the flu virus — one could only conclude it was the Spanish flu virus. It did not say the Spanish flu, but they also put a gain-of-function pause on that type of deadly research …

I mean, the Spanish flu, we all know what that is, so imagine giving the Spanish flu gain-of-function properties, making it even more lethal and more infectious. That's exactly what was going on there at that UNC lab …”

Disturbingly, while the NIH halted funding of this kind of gain-of-function research on lethal pathogens in 2014, it reauthorized it in December 2017,19 and Boyle suspects Kawaoka’s work may have been restarted as well, although he’s not found proof of it yet.

“So, this was existentially dangerous work that was going on at that UNC lab. Everyone knew it, NIH funded it, NIAID under Dr. Fauci funded it as well. They knew exactly how dangerous this was. They paused it and then they resumed it,” Boyle says.

Can Violations of Biowarfare Treaty Be Enforced?
As mentioned, Boyle is a professor of international law and drafted an international treaty on biowarfare agents and weapons. That law is still in force, and would provide life imprisonment for everyone involved in the creation and release of SARS-CoV-2, were it officially concluded to be a biowarfare agent.

“If you read that UNC article,20 it says exactly it was dealing with synthetic molecules … And in my biological weapons anti-terrorism act of 1989, I specifically criminalized — by that name — synthetic molecules.

That is why, at first, the whole synthetic biology movement … was set up by the Pentagons DARPA. They funded the whole thing. And it's DARPA money that is behind synthetic biology, gene drive and all the rest of it.

And that is why at the first convention of synthetic biologists, in their final report, one of their key recommendations was the repeal of my biological weapons anti-terrorism act, because they fully intended to use synthetic biology to manufacture biological weapons …

The law still applies. It provides for life imprisonment for everyone who has done this … all the scientists involved at the University of North Carolina and everyone who funded this project, knowing that it was existentially dangerous — and that includes Fauci and [people at] the NIH … UNC, Food and Drug Administration … the Dana Harvard Cancer Institute at Harvard … the World Health Organization …”

So, just how would we get that process of justice going? Boyle explains:

“There are two ways. First, you're going to have to pressure the Department of Justice to prosecute these people. That might be very difficult to do. Federal statutes require indictments to be brought by U.S. attorneys. However, just with respect to North Carolina, state law applies there too. I haven't researched North Carolina law; however, I was originally hired here to teach criminal law and I taught it for seven or eight years …

To have criminal intent, one of the variants of criminal intent is the demonstration of grave indifference to human life. And that is the criminal intent necessary for homicide.

So in my opinion, and my advice would be, if we can't get [attorney general William Pelham] Barr to sign off on prosecuting these people, that the district attorney, state’s attorney, attorney general out there in North Carolina, institute and indict everyone involved in this North Carolina work for homicide.

And that could include up to and including murder, malice of forethought. Again, one of the elements can be manifestation of grave indifference to human life. And it's clear from this article [the 2015 UNC paper21], they knew it was gain-of-function, they paused it because it was existentially dangerous, it was then reapproved and they continued it.

So, I think a good case could be made, certainly, for indicting these people under North Carolina law by North Carolina legal authorities, if the federal government is not going to do it for us, under my law [the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989]. But again, I want to make it clear, I haven't research North Carolina law.”

Time to Shutter All BSL4 Laboratories?
Boyle is adamant that all BSL3 and BSL4 laboratories must be closed down and all biowarfare work with lethal pathogens ceased. “They are all existentially dangerous,” he says. “This is a catastrophe waiting to happen. And it is now happened. Here we are. It's staring us in the face.”

Certainly, COVID-19 is nowhere near as devastating as the Black Death or the Spanish flu of 1918, both of which exacted a shocking death toll, all without the aid of synthetic molecules and nanotechnology.

The very idea that any of these horrific illnesses might be brought back in turbo-charged form should be terrifying enough for the world to unite in saying “No thanks; we don’t want or need that kind of research going on.” What value have these dangerous laboratories provided to date compared to the risk they are exposing all of us to?

In closing, while Boyle believes COVID-19 has the ability to become a serious pandemic killer, I strongly disagree. Based on all the data I’ve seen so far, I believe he’s wrong on this point, and I suspect the death toll due to economic hardship and emotional stress will be far worse than the disease itself.

Coronavirus detected on particles of air pollution

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-detected-particles-air-pollution-132923789.html

..
Previous studies have shown that air pollution particles do harbour microbes and that pollution is likely to have carried the viruses causing bird flu, measles and foot-and-mouth disease over considerable distances.

The potential role of air pollution particles is linked to the broader question of how the coronavirus is transmitted. Large virus-laden droplets from infected people’s coughs and sneezes fall to the ground within a metre or two. But much smaller droplets, less than 5 microns in diameter, can remain in the air for minutes to hours and travel further.

...

It just keep going crazy and crazy.. As far as I know a virus will only replicate in a host that is alive (inside the living cells).
Could it resist on a surface and still alive and infect cells after hours exposed in the weather and still being effective in terms of infection? I do not think so, but I am not an expert on it. Seems like panic spreading for me. haha!

My oldest daughter went hiking with her friend earlier , her friend is an RN supervisor at the nursing home up the road from us, the supervisor has a meeting the other day with an infectious disease specialist from the CDC, the woman told her with full confidence after reviewing deaths that occurred at the home November and December of residents that shouldn't have died and were tested for flu's etc all negative, that she is certain with confidence that covid19 had already run through that facility then which caused 12+ deaths. All residents and staff were recently tested and are negative aside from two employees who were recently ill and positive but have recovered and no longer at the facility.

.Boris Johnson warns of ‘huge loss of life’ if coronavirus lockdown is lifted too soon

The pressure to begin easing the restrictions came from a series of wealthy Tory backers who called over the weekend for the government to allow the economy to restart.

The prime minister has less than two weeks before the next major decision point comes up, with the next three-week review of the lockdown restrictions due on 7 May.

Foreign secretary Dominic Raab has said the government is doing its “homework” in preparation for when the rules could be eased.

It is thought that among the first moves could be a re-opening of schools, although Raab said that would be “inconceivable” without some further measures in place..

This drama is a conspiracy.

Worth mentioning the Swiss academic study (https://www.occupycorporatism.com/2013/04/10/swiss-study-shows-147-technocratic-super-entities-rule-the-world/) that characterises banking/corporate cooperation as a 'super entity' and this is where the danger lies.

The Swiss Federal Institute (SFI) in Zurich released a study entitled “The Network of Global Corporate Control” that proves a small consortium of corporations – mainly banks – run the world. A mere 147 corporations which form a “super entity” have control 40% of the world’s wealth; which is the real economy. These mega-corporations are at the center of the global economy.

We are presented with a story about a calamity with brave workers & politicians fighting to save us, however the reality is that this epidemic is a pre-planned scripted and stage managed process. The study above details how seemingly unconnected institutions , including corporates and regulatory bodies work together for agreed objectives, that of course are not published publicly and are often NOT beneficial for the mass of the people. It is a control and manipulation agenda.

In the case of the pandemic there are so many connections between charitable activities, (like the Gates Foundation), regulatory bodies (like the CDC , FDA, etc) who are controlled by big pharma, and the Corporates.

The following video documents the links between seemingly unconnected people & companies in the UK and is excellent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkzDQAeKcIU

Coming from a socialised health care perspective, I suspect that private enterprise cannot be trusted to lead health care provision, or at least without a greatly reduced level of corruption and much more transparency. It is not necessary to speculate as to whether the super entity released a virus to advance a control and financial tyranny agenda, or not, to see that because of the covert links between these groups, the providers of health care services have a strong financial incentive (profit) to promote a pandemic, panicked politicians throwing money at the problem, to promote the spread, to obfuscate and suppress cheap drugs etc.

Vaccines in themselves are a source of revenue in terms of the product, tests are profitable but the vaccines also create disease, such as allergies, auto immune diseases, inflammatory conditions etc. More profits.

For the hood-wink to work, a compliant media is essential, and we have the media now telling us that you cannot gain immunity from actually HAVING the virus, as it mutates so much. But of course, a vaccine based on a virus from months or years ago, that will have mutated, will be the silver bullet. This happens every year with flu. The vax is not suited to new mutations .

The Bizarre Rantings of Donald Trump

These are not producing the usual derangement as most science minded people assume that these are scientific bunkum ,nonsense and dangerous.

1. Cheap Drugs: He said: 'a very strong, powerful medicine. But it doesn’t kill people.' (Hydroxychloroquine)

We shall see however if all his big pharma advisors are slating it, it is probably worth looking at. India is recommending it.

2. Light/UV light: ''Suppose that we hit the body with tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful — light ... suppose you brought the light inside the body?”

Well there is blood irradiation therapy,
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_irradiation_therapy) plus work on putting UVC light into the lungs. The general principle is scientifically established. (https://www.genengnews.com/topics/translational-medicine/uv-light-that-is-safe-for-humans-but-bad-for-bacteria-and-viruses/)

3. 'Disinfectant' : ''Then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in one minute,” Trump continued. “Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? … It would be interesting to check that.”

He has been contacted by MMS advocates. The therapy they advocate is administration of a very small amount of Hypochlorous acid. This is the antiseptic used by our own immune system. Many Avalonians including myself have tried this and got results, and survived.

This and the other two remedies are all cheap and kryptonite to the Big pharma drug/vaccine tyranny. No wonder the Media is slating him. But be careful, as these clumsy pronouncements once vindicated, will empower Trump and medical sovereignty for the individual. Trump has cojones. Good luck to him.

Yes this is an established therapy. He's not - and I don't think ever is - just spit-balling out there. He knows exactly what he's saying. That maybe a painful idea for some people, but I don't care. I'm no Trump nutter, but I'll back anyone if I think they're right.

I think he's being very clever by bringing to light safe and effective alternatives to vaccines, while simultaneously showing up the media for they are. As frauds.

43447

Also of 'disinfectants' that he mentioned. Saw it posted elsewhere that two common ingredients for vaccines are Thimerosal and Formaldehyde - both disinfectants. Having the media react as they did at the perils of injecting disinfectants, he in effect got them to admit that vaccines were dangerous. And they didn't know it. And they call him stupid.

This sounds like it is probably exactly what is happening. IMO this means we should absolutely NOT depend on the established medical system. Don't we ALL ALREADY know so called "horror stories" form friends/family and maybe ourselves concerning "care"... the mistakes, the inept management, the total lack of repercussions (well, one might try to sue after the fact). The "maximization of patient benefit" is absolutely laughable. "Crappy nurses who don't care" is the result of a LOOOONG fall in American healthcare. That is RIGHT, one person alone cannot change this system.

Asking for records and transcripts is not going to be enough. Depending on some miracle will not be enough. The staff at hospitals are just like everywhere... afraid to lose their "jobs", not very smart, NOT BRAVE when in fight/flight/freeze themselves. It is criminal but the crime was committed drip by drip starting in 1910 when allopathy took charge.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!! DEAR BELOVED CITIZENS who have a mind, this is about the flaws suddenly becoming CHASMS that we will fall in if we don't take care of OUR SELVES. PEOPLE need to be self responsible....learn hygiene, learn self empowerment, take supplements, take charge and practice the cutting edge systems of changing our habits and the resulting condition of OUR body/mind complex like Wim Hof and Joe Dispenza.

This is an epidemic I really do believe of REAL OPPORTUNISM and viruses take hold of cells that are lacking defense. This is fractal IMO and as BELOW, SO ABOVE.

We must REPUDIATE the system by disengaging on a massive scale. REPEAT: one person cannot change the system. Maybe 2.5% (read that statistic somewhere) of the population at once maybe?

UK coronavirus response utterly hypocritical, says UN poverty expert
Robert Booth Social affairs correspondent
The Guardianyesterday

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/uk-coronavirus-response-utterly-hypocritical-172602520.html
The United Nations’ poverty expert Philip Alston has attacked the UK government’s coronavirus response as “utterly hypocritical” after successive administrations implemented policies of austerity and public-sector cuts.

The UN rapporteur on extreme poverty, who in 2018 issued a blistering attack on Conservative welfare policy, also said that globally “the most vulnerable have been short-changed or excluded” by official responses to the disease, which had claimed over 203,670 lives by Sunday evening, according to Johns Hopkins University.

“The policies of many states reflect a social Darwinism philosophy that prioritises the economic interests of the wealthiest while doing little for those who are hard at work providing essential services or unable to support themselves,” Alston said, warning that the pandemic could push more than half a billion additional people into poverty globally.

“Governments have shut down entire countries without making even minimal efforts to ensure people can get by,” he said. “Many in poverty live day to day, with no savings or surplus food. And of course, homeless people cannot simply stay home.”

He highlighted how the most vulnerable populations had been neglected, which “forces them to continue working in unsafe conditions, putting everyone’s health at risk.” And he warned that, while some nations were seeing curves flattening, the virus was “poised to wreak havoc in poorer countries”.

“As for the UK,” Alston told the Guardian, “my thoughts of course hark back to the sense of how utterly hypocritical it is now to abandon ‘austerity’ with such alacrity, after all the harm and misery caused to individuals and the fatal weakening of the community’s capacity to cope and respond over the past 10 years.

“And of course, many of the worst and most damaging aspects of ‘austerity’ cannot and will not be undone. The damage caused to community cohesion and to the social infrastructure are likely to prove permanent.”

His comments are likely to anger ministers in the UK, who have said their strategy is to put their “arms around every single worker” while adopting an “everyone in” policy to tackle the risk to rough sleepers. They have sanctioned huge cash injections into wages and businesses to prevent economic collapse, and the chancellor, Rishi Sunak announced £14bn for the NHS and local authorities fighting the virus.

But other parts of the social fabric have been stretched. Food banks, which give out at least 1.6m parcels a year, have lacked supplies while care homes, where thousands are dying from Covid-19, have struggled for essentials including PPE and to maintain staffing levels. There have been real-terms cuts in public funding of social care in the UK, according to the King’s Fund thinktank, with a £700m reduction between 2011 and 2018.

“This pandemic has exposed the bankruptcy of social support systems in many countries.” Alston said. “While some governments have embraced far-ranging measures previously dismissed as unrealistic, most programmes have been short-term, stop-gap measures that merely buy time rather than address the immense challenges that will continue well into the future. Now is the time for deep structural reforms that will protect populations as a whole and will build resilience in the face of an uncertain future.”

A government spokesperson said: “We have a strong record on supporting hardworking people across the country as well as our most vulnerable, reaching record employment over the last ten years and with both income inequality and absolute poverty lower than in 2010.

“These are unprecedented times and it’s right that we do everything we can to support people through this difficult period, including increasing Universal Credit by up to £1,040 over a year.”

There is a new report from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United Sciences of America (PNAS), which only used 160 samples, but comes to "stunning conclusions". These could perhaps be described as backwards (https://www.globalresearch.ca/tracing-evolution-migration-sars-cov-2/5710648). The data suggest this virus did not originate in Wuhan; the earliest sample of virus studied – collected on December 24 2019 in Wuhan – WAS NOT close to being the ancestor of SARS-CoV-2. The variant in China is barely found outside China; and it probably is a descendant of the varieties found outside China.

About the only way it makes sense is to "presume a scenario where the virus was already circulating under the radar in the West and were carried to Wuhan in December or some time before, where it then spread locally within China."

If New York is able to estimate they must have had thousands of cases in January before anything was confirmed, it is difficult not to rewind that to at least "a few" cases last year. If we are not able to specifically say it came out of UNC or Fort Detrick, it seems we are still left with a stronger likelihood it was somewhere around here, and the Chinese were simply quick in figuring out that something happened. How could someone in New York say, oh look, we found a new disease, watch out world? They either could not since not every death is probed for a unique virus, or, if they thought it might be, they perhaps lacked the Chinese ability to go after it.

another voice suggesting the virus is not natural...

Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Who Discovered HIV Says Coronavirus Was Created In Laboratory

In a highly significant development, Professor Luc Montagnier, the French scientist who shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has added his voice to those who believe the new coronavirus was created in a laboratory. Interviewed on the CNews channel in France, Montagnier asserted that the virus had been designed by molecular biologists. Stating that it contains genetic elements of HIV, he insisted its characteristics could not have arisen naturally.

Asked by the CNews interviewer what the goal of these molecular biologists was, Montagnier said it wasn’t clear. “My job,” he said, “is to expose the facts.” While stressing that he didn’t know who had done it, or why, Montagnier suggested that possibly the goal had been to make an AIDS vaccine. Labeling the virus as “a professional job…a very meticulous job,” he described its genome as being a “clockwork of sequences.”

“There’s a part which is obviously the classic virus, and there’s another mainly coming from the bat, but that part has added sequences, particularly from HIV – the AIDS virus,” he said.

Growing evidence that the virus was ‘designed’

Montagnier also pointed out that he wasn’t the first scientist to assert that the coronavirus was created in a laboratory. Previously, on 31 January 2020, a research group from India had published a paper suggesting that aspects of the virus bore an “uncanny similarity” to HIV. Taken together, the researchers said their findings suggested the virus had an “unconventional evolution” and that further investigation was warranted. While the researchers subsequently retracted their paper, Montagnier said they had been “forced” to do so.

In February 2020, a separate research paper published by scientists from South China University of Technology suggested the virus “probably” came from a laboratory in Wuhan, the city where it was first identified. Significantly, one of the research facilities cited in this paper, the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, is said to be the only lab in China that is designated for the study of highly dangerous pathogens such as Ebola and SARS. Prior to the opening of this laboratory in 2018, biosafety experts and scientists from the United States had expressed concerns that a virus could escape from it. As with the paper published by the Indian researchers, however, the Chinese scientists’ paper has similarly been withdrawn.

Professor Montagnier has long demonstrated that he is not afraid to challenge the prevailing views of the scientific establishment. Previously, in an interview recorded for the 2009 AIDS documentary ‘House of Numbers’, he had spoken out in favor of nutrition and antioxidants in the fight against HIV/AIDS. As the co-discoverer of HIV and a Nobel prize winner, Montagnier’s statements in this interview gave valuable support to Dr. Rath and other scientists who, for years beforehand, had been warning the world about the pharmaceutical business with the AIDS epidemic.

In a similar way, his assertion today that the coronavirus was designed by molecular biologists raises serious questions about the possible involvement of the pharmaceutical industry. As Montagnier infers, a manmade virus whose genome consists of a “clockwork of sequences” and includes elements of HIV could not have been assembled by amateurs. With estimates of the total global economic cost of the coronavirus varying from $4.1 trillion to $20 trillion or more, the ongoing questions about its origins are unlikely to disappear anytime soon.

This is a sad and sorry article about the deaths at Pennsylvania's Veterans Homes and Nursing Homes. It makes it sound like the families are almost incommunicado with their loved ones, until they are informed of their death.

‘It’s a sinking ship’: COVID-19 deaths triple at state-run vets nursing home in Chester County as families clamor for information (https://www.inquirer.com/news/southeastern-veterans-center-coronavirus-chester-county-covid-20200425.html)

some excerpts:

About half of Pennsylvania’s known coronavirus-related deaths have been residents of long-term-care facilities.

Family members, who normally visit the veterans home and see how loved ones are faring and if sufficient staff is on duty, have been in the dark with no recourse.
Frustrated and desperate to help her father-in-law, Bean said her family considered taking him out of SEVC, at least temporarily, due to the pandemic. But a staffer warned her brother-in-law that his father could have a hard time getting back in, she said.
“They said if Pop leaves, not only does he lose his room, we would have to apply all over again. They will not even put him on a waiting list," Bean said. “I consider that a veiled threat. Like, ‘Don’t you take him out.’ ”

One veteran, who repeatedly asked nursing staff whether the virus was spreading there, was “absolutely floored” to read that 10 residents had died, his son said. “He knew nothing.” (The son asked not to be identified to protect his father from any retribution.)

State Sen. Katie Muth, whose district covers parts of Chester County, said that until recently she’d never heard complaints about the veterans center, considered one of the best in the state and rated “much above average” by the federal government. Now she is unable to find out what is happening inside.

As of last week, SEVC, in consultation with the Chester County Department of Health, had stopped coronavirus testing in units where two or more residents have tested positive. Instead, the facility would treat other residents who showed fevers and other symptoms of the virus as probable cases, according to an internal report obtained by The Inquirer.
Muth said that does a disservice to those who might not be infected. “They deserve a test, right? And they’re not getting them because we’re rationing tests,” Muth said. “If we’re not going to test everyone on a floor, it just looks like these people are sacrificial lambs.”

YOUNG PEOPLE RECOVERED FROM COVID DYING OF STROKES
Doctors sound alarm about patients in their 30s and 40s left debilitated or dead. Some didn’t even know they were infected.

Thomas Oxley wasn’t even on call the day he received the page to come into Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan. There weren’t enough doctors to treat all the emergency stroke patients, and he was needed in the operating room.

The patient’s chart appeared unremarkable at first glance. He took no medications and had no history of chronic conditions. He had been feeling fine, hanging out at home during the lockdown like the rest of America, when suddenly, he had trouble talking and moving the right side of his body. Imaging showed a large blockage on the left side of his head.

Oxley gasped when he got to the patient’s age and covid-19 status: 44, positive.

The man was among several recent stroke patients in their 30s to 40s who were all infected with the virus. The median age for that type of severe stroke is 74.

As Oxley, an interventional neurologist, began the procedure to remove the clot, he observed something he had never seen before. On the monitors, the brain typically shows up as a tangle of black squiggles — “like a can of spaghetti,” he said — that provide a map of blood vessels. A clot shows up as a blank spot. As he used a needlelike device to pull out the clot, he saw new clots forming in real-time around it.

“This is crazy,” he remembers telling his boss.

Reports of strokes in the young and middle-aged — not just at Mount Sinai but in many other hospitals in communities hard hit by coronavirus— are the latest twist in our evolving understanding of covid-19. Even as the virus has infected nearly 2.8 million people worldwide and killed 195,000 as of Saturday, its biological mechanisms continue to elude top scientific minds. Once thought to be a pathogen that primarily attacks the lungs, it has turned out to be a much more formidable foe — impacting nearly every major organ system in the body.

Until recently, there was little hard data on strokes and covid-19.

There was one report out of Wuhan, China that showed that some hospitalized patients had experienced strokes but many of those were seriously ill and elderly. But the linkage was considered more of “a clinical hunch by a lot of really smart people,” said Sherry H-Y Chou, a University of Pittsburgh neurologist and critical care doctor.

Now for the first time, three large U.S. medical centers are preparing to publish data on the stroke phenomenon. The numbers are small, only a few dozen per location, but they provide new insights into what the virus does to our bodies.

Coronavirus destroys lungs. But doctors are finding its damage in kidneys, hearts and elsewhere.

Stroke, a sudden interruption the blood supply, is a complex problem with numerous causes and presentations. It can be caused by heart problems, clogged arteries due to cholesterol, even substance abuse. Mini-strokes often don’t cause permanent damage and can resolve on their own within 24 hours. But bigger ones can be catastrophic.

The analyses suggest coronavirus patients are mostly experiencing the deadliest type of stroke. Known as large vessel occlusions or LVOs, they can obliterate large parts of the brain responsible for movement, speech and decision-making in one blow because they are in the main blood-supplying arteries.

Many researchers suspect strokes in novel coronavirus patients may be a direct consequence of blood problems that are producing clots all over some people’s bodies.

Clots that form on vessel walls fly upward so one that started in the calves might migrate to the lungs, causing a blockage called a pulmonary embolism that arrests breathing — a known cause of death in covid-19 patients. Clots in or near the heart might lead to a heart attack, another common cause of death. Anything above that would likely go to the brain, leading to a stroke.

Robert Stevens, a critical care doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, called stroke “one of the most dramatic manifestations” of the blood clotting issues. “We’ve also taken care of patients in their 30s with stroke and covid, and this was extremely surprising,” he said.

Many doctors expressed worry that as the New York City Fire Department was picking up four times as many people who died at home as normal during the peak of infection that some of the dead had suffered sudden strokes. The truth may never be known because so few autopsies were conducted.

Chou said one question is whether the clotting is a due to direct attack on the blood vessels, or a “a friendly fire problem” caused by the patient’s immune response.

“In your body’s attempt to fight off the virus, does the immune response end up hurting your brain?” she asked. Chou is hoping to answer such questions through a review of stroke and other neurological complication in thousands of covid-19 patients treated at 68 medical centers in 17 countries.

Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, which operates 14 medical centers in Philadelphia, and NYU Langone in New York City, found that 12 of their patients treated for large blood blockages in their brains during a three-week period had the virus. Forty percent were under 50, and had few or no risk factors. Their paper is under review by a medical journal, said Pascal Jabbour, a neurosurgeon at Thomas Jefferson.

Jabbour and his co-author Eytan Raz, an assistant professor of neuroradiology at NYU Langone, said that strokes in covid-19 patients challenge conventionally thinking. “We are used to thinking of 60 as a young patient when it comes to large vessel occlusions,” Raz said of the deadliest strokes. “We have never seen so many in their 50s, 40s and late 30s.”

Raz wondered whether they are seeing more young patients because they are more resistant than the elderly to the respiratory distress caused by covid-19: “So they survive the lung side, and in time develop other issues.”

A mysterious blood-clotting complication is killing coronavirus patients

Jabbour said many of the cases he’s treated have unusual characteristics. Brain clots usually appear in the arteries, which carry blood away from the heart, but in covid-19 patients, he’s also seeing them in the veins, which carry blood in the opposite direction and are trickier to treat. Some patients are also developing more than one large clot in their heads, which is highly unusual.

“We’ll be treating a blood vessel and it will go fine, but then the patient will have a major stroke” due to a clot in another part of the brain, he said.

At Mount Sinai, the largest medical system in New York City, physician-researcher J Mocco said the number of patients coming in with large blood blockages in their brains doubled during the three weeks of the covid-19 surge to more than 32, even as the number of other emergencies fell. Over half of them were covid-19 positive.

It isn’t just the number of patients that was unusual. The first wave of the pandemic has hit the elderly and those with heart disease, diabetes, obesity or other preexisting conditions disproportionately. The covid-19 patients treated for stroke at Mount Sinai were younger and mostly without risk factors.

On average the covid-19 stroke patients were 15 years younger than stroke patients without the virus.

“These are people among the least likely statistically to have a stroke,” Mocco said.

Mocco, who has spent his career studying stroke and how to treat it, said he was “completely shocked” by the analysis. He noted the link between covid-19 and stroke “is one of the clearest and most profound correlations I’ve come across.”

“This is much too powerful of a signal to be chance or happenstance,” Mocco said.

In a letter to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine next week, the Mount Sinai team details five case studies of young patients who had strokes at home from Mar. 23 to Apr. 7. They make for difficult reading: The victims’ ages are 33, 37, 39, 44, and 49, and were all home when they began to experience sudden symptoms, including slurred speech, confusion, drooping on one side of the face, feeling dead in one arm.

One passed away, two are still hospitalized, one was released to rehabilitation and one was released home to the care of his brother. Only one of the five, a 33-year-old woman, is able to speak.

Oxley, the interventional neurologist, said one striking aspect of the cases is how long many waited before seeking emergency care.

The 33-year-old woman was previously healthy but had had a cough and headache for about a week. Over the course of 28 hours, she noticed her speech was slurred and that she was going numb and weak on her left side but, the researchers wrote, “delayed seeking emergency care due to fear of the covid-19 outbreak.”

It turned out she was already infected.

By the time she arrived at the hospital, a CT scan showed she had two clots in her brain and patchy “ground glass” in her lungs — a hallmark of covid-19 infection. She was given two different types of therapy to try to break up the clots and by day 10, she was well enough to be discharged.

Oxley said the most important thing for people to understand is that large strokes are very treatable. Doctors are often able to reopen blocked blood vessels through techniques such as pulling out clots or inserting stents. But it has to be done quickly, ideally within six hours, but no longer than 24 hours: “The message we are trying to get out is if you have symptoms of stroke, you need to call the ambulance urgently.”

As for the 44-year-old man Oxley was treating, doctors were able to remove the large clot that day in late March, but the patient is still struggling. As of this week, a little over a month after he arrived in the emergency room, he is still hospitalized.

Over-70s should not be forced to stay in isolation when coronavirus lockdown eased, Sage adviser says
The Telegraph Gabriella Swerling,The Telegraph

Last month, Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said older people would be 'shielded for their own protection' - Leon Neal/Getty

The over-70s cannot be told to continue isolating once Britain's coronavirus lockdown measures are eased, a Sage scientific adviser has suggested.

Last month, Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said older people would be "shielded for their own protection", meaning those aged 70 and over could be asked to stay at home for up to four months to protect themselves from the risk of coronavirus.

However, a scientist on a sub-committee of the Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) board, has called for "more reformed and nuanced" guidance.

Susan Michie, professor of health psychology and sirector of the Centre for Behaviour Change at UCL, said: "The guidance is based on averages, and as we know there's huge individual differences for every average.

"So there are many 70 and 80-year-olds that are much fitter and healthier than those who are a lot younger. I think the problem is that if people don't perceive the guidance to be proportionate to their own situation there will be problems with adherence, and we now know more about who is at risk and the whole progress of the disease."
Coronavirus podcast newest episode

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Prof Michie said "individual data" based on age, gender and underlying health conditions could help people find out how much additional risk they are exposed to should they contract the virus.

"Communities and people do want to be involved in decision-making," she said. "I think this is incredibly important going forward for this issue, but also for all issues, that communities are properly consulted, properly engaged, properly involved in decision-making about how we go forward in what's going to be a very complicated terrain of [easing] restrictions."

Last week, The Telegraph reported that ministers are looking to restart the economy using a "traffic light" system, with the over-70s "stuck on red for months" – potentially up to a year – until a mass-produced vaccine is available.

Prof Michie, whose research focuses on developing the science of behaviour change interventions and applying behavioural science to those interventions, said that, when the Government reviews its guidance, it should "take this on board and make sure people are given the information to make sensible decisions about their own lives".

She added: "One of the great things about the progress of medicine is that we have so many fit and active, young at heart 70 and 80-year-olds, and I think that that must be recognised. We have much more information now than we had when the guidance was originally given out, and I think it could become more reformed and nuanced now."

Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK, said: "When it comes old age, there is definitely no one size that fits all. There are enormous differences in the health of the older population. We all know fortunate individuals who seem as fit as many half their age, while others really struggle when many of their contemporaries continue to do well.

"A long period of lockdown would have enormous practical implications for older people, including the rising numbers who want or need to keep working, and all who care for their grandchildren too. There are also the potentially devastating mental health consequences to take into account if older people are advised to stay apart from family and friends for many months – a recipe for misery and loneliness.

"Government decisions about the lockdown that impact on all older people above a certain age on a compulsory basis, regarding of their health status, are unlikely to be acceptable or, it seems, particularly helpful in helping the country to transition back to a more normal way of life.

"Older people should be able to make up their own minds, armed with best information and the clearest evidence-based advice the Government is able to provide."

YOUNG PEOPLE RECOVERED FROM COVID DYING OF STROKES
Doctors sound alarm about patients in their 30s and 40s left debilitated or dead. Some didn’t even know they were infected.

<snip>

I have seen several local/state reports of various first responders dying unexpectedly. Police, Fire, EMS. At least one the cause of death was given as a heart attack. The others weren't listed. Other than the death being unexpected, no cause was given. These things happen, but it seems to be happening more frequently over the last several weeks.

Think its just being reported more frequently Sarah.
Something that has happened several times is "Birds falling from the sky in their hundreds" dead fish washed up etc.
Now is this 5G related?
I dont have a clue.
The immune system will handle anything if it is in good order.
If it is compromised by poor environment then thats a different story.
If work situation calls for you to be in a dense electronic WiFi system -- blue tooth head phones all day, then no matter your age you may well have a weakened immune system.
Thats guessing but May be so.
Chris

Entirely possible it's simply coincidence. But at the same time, these are the official pages on Facebook that are reporting the passing of their own service members. It's something they've always done. But there's been more reports in the last 3 weeks than all of last year combined. It does make one wonder.

But in fairness, it could also be more like what you're saying, indirectly related to covid via environmental factors. Everyone is under extra stress right now, particularly first responders.

28th April 2020, 16:14

Who knows for sure Sarah
However what is known is that stress drastically weakens the immune system.
Also locking people up and not exposing them to this virus does not allow the system to build up immunity.
At this time of year and earlier most people have caught the cold flu or whatever.
Not this year here.
I dont know anyone who has had any of those.
When has it been policy to guard healthy people against a virus by locking everyone up.
Fear fear fear kills too.
This is far beyond normal response to a "virus".

Coronavirus: 95% of victims in England hospitals had underlying health conditions (https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-95-of-victims-in-england-hospitals-had-underlying-health-conditions-11979733)

Now... apologies if this looks stupid, but, doesn't that ^^^ make that Covid-19 the perfect crime binary bio-weapon?

Now, if ever a vaccine is enforced on the planet’s population we could end up with this Bill Gates’ binary weapon:

Coronavirus vaccines CAUSED lung inflammation and death (https://www.fort-russ.com/2020/04/the-gates-of-hell-proven-coronavirus-vaccines-caused-lung-inflammation-and-death/)

Scientists first attempted to develop coronavirus vaccines (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22536382) after China’s 2002 SARS-CoV outbreak. Teams of US & foreign scientists vaccinated animals with the four most promising vaccines. At first, the experiment seemed successful as all the animals developed a robust antibody response to coronavirus.

However, when the scientists exposed the vaccinated animals to the wild virus, the results were horrifying. Vaccinated animals suffered hyper-immune responses (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22536382) including inflammation throughout their bodies, especially in their lungs. Researchers had seen this same “enhanced immune response” during human testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests (https://cvi.asm.org/content/23/3/189) in the 1960s.

Matt Hancock 'very worried' about new disease linked to COVID-19 leaving children in intensive care
Yahoo News UK Ross McGuinness,Yahoo News UK 7

Matt Hancock has said he is “very worried” after children have been left in intensive care from a new disease thought to be linked to coronavirus.

The health secretary said on Tuesday that experts are "looking into it with great urgency" following reports of a new illness in children.

Speaking to LBC, he said: “It's a fresh, new disease that we think may be caused by coronavirus and the COVID-19 virus.

"We're not 100% sure because some of the people who got it hadn't tested positive.”

Hancock’s comments follow a warning from NHS England on Sunday of a coronavirus-related syndrome emerging in children.

Much more on the link -- just promoting fear Chris

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-children-died-disease-covid-19-084702870.html

Fear is an emotion that is felt inside, an article is just words on a page how people react to something comes from themselves, not the article. Some people wrap their children up in cotton wool, protecting them from what they judge as being fearful and bad in the world. These children often grow up to be anxious because the world is not the artificial Bubble that was created for them.

Not being fearful is not denying or running away from your fears it is facing your fears while remaining calm. Do you want to live in the reality, the truth with all its imperfections and dangers or do you want to live with your head in the clouds.

Fear is something you need to learn to manage, facing the truth.

Ignorance and denial is where people fall down because sooner or later the truth will pay a visit.

Those that study history and know about the second wave of the 1918 Spanish flu, know that with the second wave it increasingly affected younger people and this could suggest something similar emerging.

Of course, the Spanish flu was an influenza virus and covid19 is a coronavirus so it is perhaps not accurate to compare the two, but what they have in common is that they were both new strains so that unfamiliarity can provoke similar responses from the immune system.

Hopefully this will not be the case but I believe it is better that people are armed with knowledge and awareness than blind ignorance.

It is best to plan for the worst and hope for the best, that is the way to face and manage fear.

As far as I know a virus will only replicate in a host that is alive (inside the living cells).
Could it resist on a surface and still alive and infect cells after hours exposed in the weather and still being effective in terms of infection? I do not think so, but I am not an expert on it. Seems like panic spreading for me. haha!

It depends on the virus -- but I'm not an expert. For example there is another virus which can survive on a surface for days or even weeks: norovirus aka "stomach bug". A comment from a family medicine specialist:

Q: My husband had norovirus last week. Is everyone in my house now in the clear ― or could we still catch it?

A: Norovirus is a troublesome stomach bug because not only is it easy to catch, it’s very hard to kill.

It can last for weeks on a counter, on an elevator button or even on a doorknob. If somebody doesn’t wash their hands thoroughly after going to the bathroom, you can catch it. Norovirus isn’t killed with hand sanitizer, so you must practice very good hand-washing.

It just needs some underlying health condition in order to lethally strike "useless eaters" which are costing the banksters' insurance affiliates some arms and legs...

It is blunt, but "useless eater" is any civilian, and further, me and millions more are "non-essential".

But as far as the disease mainly finishing off those with "co-morbidities", that also means massive savings to pension plans and governments.

What have we done, figured out ways to prop up survival so that people's eyes stay open to see how worthless their quality of life has become, while they drag out a torture session that usually involves losing one's house.

The Orwellian component that we are missing is the Assisted Suicide Center. This year there will be thousands of messy, expensive suicides at home, and that one is probably cheaper and more efficient.

Physically, you "are" the immune system, which is inhibited at birth by c-section, followed by hosing it with anti-biotics, and avoiding the natural boosts it seeks. If someone was interested in your health, they would help you build this, not replace it with substitutes. My grandmother survived small pox at the tender age of four; there was no "shutdown", how could you shut down a society where people live by working on their own farms?

You can't, so, family farming was rendered obsolete, by the combined force of banks, real estate, and conglomerates...and hybrid seeds.

Does anyone remember Mitt Romney's Bain Capital? Weren't they a bit tied in to Colombian death squads?

"Steve Pagliuca, co-owner of the Boston Celtics and the co-chairman of Bain Capital — as well as one of Dr. Cahill’s investors — helped copy edit drafts of their report, and he passed a version to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive David Solomon. Mr. Solomon got it to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin."

Wall Street Journal is covering a bunch who are a self-professed Manhattan Project (https://www.globalresearch.ca/secret-covid-19-manhattan-project-led-billionaires-seeking-influence-trump-admin/5711114) which is, well, another oligarchy, "an elite go-between the pharmaceutical industry and Trump administration decision-makers".

They do want to get in your phone, but they are against "electronic passport". But if somehow they are "helping craft re-opening strategies", this means they are acting as legislators and someone like Woodrow Wilson will probably rubber-stamp most of their work.

In the U. S., more than 10% (https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-covid-19-economic-holocaust-bankrupting-the-nation-the-shut-in-economy/5711090) of restaurants plan to close over the next month--except for larger chains--and about half of all walk-in retail is in a serious challenge if not closed.

"The FED is buying corporate debt in order for companies to off load their mistakes and receive fresh, new money. But the average small business receives the left over pennies."

At most, with another loan session, maybe 40% of small business will be able to get some pennies. So the old debt is entering the Fed, and new loans that perhaps do not have to be paid back are much more available to the "larger customers".

There is no excuse to say the virus has done this because these are all human decisions.

After aiming the Defense Production Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Production_Act_of_1950) at ventilators and masks, it is now to be directed at meat plants. The announcement is already updated right on the Wiki page.

Well they just closed because of...a bunch of people who weren't really sick but tested positive which...eh, wait a second, didn't you just say to quarantine these people? But, now they are compelled to work, or someone is.

So I guess you hire new workers constantly and on day two when they test positive, replace them? They do say they are getting extra testing equipment.

After all, it is meat, which is unhelpful since the resources would make ten times as much plant food. And, Tyson and Purdue are two of the four largest polluters along with two pharma companies. Tyson started shutting their doors. Are they Republicans? Is that how you get a hassle-free rescue? Process meat during a viral epidemic; money will take care of it.

But wait, this very idea is the brain child of the President's arch rival, a villain who will soon only be remembered as the Placeholder (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55091.htm):

"The party he supposedly leads stuffed him into a broom closet last week after he gibbered through a session with CNN’s leading light Anderson Cooper. They can’t just hide the poor fellow there until November 3.

Asked about reopening everyday life in America, Mr. Biden said, “You know, there’s a… uh, during World War II, uh… you know, where Roosevelt came up with… a thing, uh, that, uh… you know, was totally different than a… than the… the, it’s called… he called it the… you know, the World War II… he had the war… the War Production Board….

There’s no analog in history for any faction putting up such an empty vessel for high office."

Critical Questions for Dr. Shiva About His Attempts to Splinter the Health Freedom Movement
APRIL 28, 2020
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/critical-questions-for-dr-shiva-about-his-attempts-to-splinter-the-health-freedom-movement/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=2743c813-75ca-4890-b581-46054e2d25a6
By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children’s Health Defense
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/04-28-20-C_Cytosove_Featured_Image.jpg
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Handshake-tweet-e1588101235385.jpg

"For many months I have remained silent in the face of defamatory and dishonest attacks against me by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai. My approach was to ignore the sniping to preserve the unity of the Health Freedom Movement. However, Shiva has expanded his malevolent campaign to include venomous salvos against our community’s most prominent and effective leaders, including Del Bigtree, Mark Blaxill, Dr. Rashid Buttar, Polly Tommey and Samoan-Australian activist Taylor Winterstein. Because he now has some of our outstanding spokesmen in his gun-sites, and because his poisonous volleys have begun to damage the solidarity that is critical to our success, I reluctantly make this response.

Little Lies / Big Lies
I had never heard of Shiva when he approached me on the street following a January 6th, 2020 Trenton rally. We had a friendly chat and took a photo. Afterward, he tweeted that I had refused to shake his hand. A half-dozen photos of us shaking hands soon surfaced, proving his statements false. It was only then that I learned he was running as a fringe candidate for U.S. Senate against my nephew, Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Kennedy. It is axiomatic that a man who lies about small things, will also lie about the large. I made a note to fact check Shiva’s assertions. I advise others to take similar precautions.
Attacking Our Leaders
Del Bigtree, Mark Blaxill, Polly Tommey and Dr. Rashid Buttar are battle proven veterans deepl
y scarred by incalculable personal sacrifices suffered on the front-line trenches during decades of hand to hand combat against Pharma, corrupt regulators and the medical cartel. They have published, litigated, campaigned, debated, testified, strategized, organized, informed, and defended. I am proud to have served with each of them in dozens of state capitals, speaking at rallies, testifying before state legislatures, and meeting with public officials. They have emptied their personal bank accounts and, at times, ruined their health in service to our cause. They have each played indispensable roles in building the institutions that have helped us coalesce into the coherent and powerful movement that now threatens the Pharmaceutical paradigm. They have given us every reason to trust them and no reason for doubt. Shiva’s claim that these individuals are “controlled opposition” are patently absurd.

XWO_anzCOp8

When Shiva calls Movement leaders “controlled opposition,” is he speaking of himself?

Samoan-Australian activist Taylor Winterstein
Instead of preaching science, Shiva spends money from his Health Freedom donor base digging up dirt on other activists. Shiva employs a full-time “Negative Research” investigator, Jennifer Bennett, to excavate and invent defamatory gossip about Health Freedom Groups and their leaders in Massachusetts and nationally. In his war against our Movement, Shiva employs all the classic strategies and gambits prescribed by psychological warfare experts, in our Intelligence Services, for disrupting social reform movements when they begin to gather steam and threaten the power of entrenched vested interests.

So why, beside malignant narcissism, would a newcomer to our Movement seek to undermine our most effective and influential leaders and divide our forces? I don’t like to speculate about people’s motives, but it is a common motif among a certain species of scoundrel to project their own villainy in their slandering of others. Do Shiva’s accusations that all of us are “controlled opposition” reveal his own motivations?

Some hints to that answer may lie among the things Shiva doesn’t tell us.

Shiva, the Vaccine Maker
Shiva never mentions the fact that he is a vaccine maker. Shiva owns a pharmaceutical company, Cytosolve, that partners with vaccine and drugmakers to accelerate FDA approvals for vaccines and other pharmaceutical drugs. His principal business partner is Pfizer, the world’s #4 vaccine maker. Are Shiva’s attacks on our Movement calculated pandering, to court affection from Pfizer and the HHS regulators––upon whose favor his financial success relies––and to win their blessings by discrediting a Movement that questions vaccine products?

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1961-600x600.jpeg

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Cytosolve4-600x560.jpeg

Shiva’s business model requires him to court favor with vaccine companies.
Shiva made his money from the Clintons
Shiva claims to have invented Email (Smithsonian says Shiva’s claim is untrue and a Federal court has agreed). In fact, Shiva made his fortune running Email operations for President Bill and Hillary Clinton during the White House years. (It is ironic, therefore, that he accuses others of consorting with the Clintons). The Clinton contract propelled his company, EchoMail, to a $200 million valuation.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Image-4-28-20-at-11.26-AM-600x355.jpg

Shiva’s Echomail partner was Bill Gates’ Microsoft. Even today, Shiva lists Microsoft as his partner on his EchoMail homepage. Gates, the world’s most prominent and vocal advocate for universal mandatory vaccination is also a proponent for tagging human beings with injected technologies for tracking vaccine records. Both Microsoft and Gates are leading industry efforts to develop a subdermal biometric chip system. Shiva’s success at dividing our movement and undermining and discrediting our leadership might ingratiate him with these business partners.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Image-4-25-20-at-1.22-PM-e1588022140928.jpg

Shiva and Bill Gates

It is noteworthy that Shiva consistently mutes his criticism of Bill Gates, seeking to deflect public anger at Gates towards Hillary Clinton. This makes no sense. Hillary’s views on mandatory vaccines are abhorrent, but unlike Gates whose ownership of the WHO and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance allows him to dictate global vaccine policy, Hillary is an out-of-work politician with no political power. The Clinton Foundation is virtually defunct and bootless as an arbiter of public health policy. Why does Shiva shield Gates and insist that Hillary is the more important target?

Shiva and 5G
Both Gates and Microsoft hold leading stakes in the burgeoning wireless infrastructure expansion. Gates’ subdermal chip systems will be capable of meshing with Gates’ extensive new 5G antennae and satellite deployments, to harvest, not only our vaccination and medical data, but also lucrative information about our movements, our purchases, and our desires, at the granular level. Shiva lists his other business partners as the principle Big Data Titans, Dell, Oracle and IBM which all stand to make a killing on the current 5G expansion. Is this why Shiva refuses to condemn 5G?

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Image-4-25-20-at-1.22-PM-e1588084452529.jpg

How Does Shiva Escape Censorship?
Shiva is the only leader in our Movement who doesn’t suffer the Social Media censorship that bedevils the rest of us. His capacity to boost his audience, his immunity from shadow-banning and from eviction from his platforms has allowed him to exponentially expand his base, as the rest of us struggle past the censors to reach our audiences, one follower at a time. Why are Facebook, Google, and Instagram showering love on Shiva while they strangle the rest of us? Why does Silicon Valley boost Shiva and smother us?

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Both-IG2-1536x900.jpg

Shilling for Silicon Valley Big Data Billionaires
Shiva has previous experience shilling for Big Data/Telecom. In 2010, Shiva served as front man to PayPal’s Silicon Valley titan, Peter Thiel. Thiel was campaigning to destroy Gawker in revenge for its unflattering article about himself. Thiel funded Shiva to file a defamation law suit against Gawker for reporting that Shiva lied about inventing Email. Shiva, of course, lost the law suit, but the ruinous costs of the litigation helped bankrupt Gawker, which was always Thiel’s purpose. Shiva may have discovered, from that transaction, the economic opportunities in shilling for Silicon Valley’s Big Data Barrons.

Silicon Valley is deeply entrenched with the CIA and the Pentagon in cyber-warfare efforts and in developing AI surveillance systems that can compete with the Chinese. The Silicon Valley/CIA partnership has its own secretive Federal agency, the National Security Commission, chaired by ex Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. Their strategy is to roll out 5G as a comprehensive security and surveillance superstructure that will serve as a platform for new surveillance technologies. This sinister cabal undoubtedly see the evolving Health Freedom coalition between anti 5G and anti Pharma activists as an obstacle to their ambitions.

Why Does Shiva Want to Push Democrats Out of the Health Freedom Movement?
Shiva’s insistence that Democrats disown their party, before being welcomed into the Health Freedom Movement, and his attacks on anyone who ever voted for Hillary or any other prominent Democrat, seem deliberately calculated to foment destructive partisanship and to drive Democrats from our Movement.

Shiva knows that for us to succeed, our Movement requires political diversity, unity, harmony and a big tent. We welcome citizens of every nation and every political stripe. We don’t impose ideological tests or check party affiliations. I, myself, am a lifelong Democrat, but I understand that this issue must transcend party affiliations. All of our best leaders comprehend that there is no such thing as a Republican child or a Democratic child. I have worked effectively and aggressively across the nation, with Republicans—including President Trump. Trump, who himself donated $1,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation in 2009, did not hold my previous support for Hillary against me. He welcomed the opportunity to burnish the project’s bipartisan bona fides.

Our bipartisan approach is effective, and frightening to Pharma. Is this why Shiva is trying so hard to excite political hatred among our followers, and to polarize us along party lines?

Can Shiva Pass his Own Ideological Test?
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Image-4-25-20-at-12.43-PM-e1588024885644.jpg

Shiva’s insistence on ideological purity is ironic at best and duplicitous and deceptive at worst, given his own ambiguous political theologies. To win the top spot on the G.O.P.’s U.S. Senate ballot, Shiva persuaded Massachusetts Republicans that he was a staunch, dyed-in-the-wool Right-wing Trump supporter. Elsewhere, however, he brags of being a committed socialist and communist sympathizer. His wavering affiliations beg the question: Who is Shiva, and does he stand for anything beyond personal opportunism?

Psy-Ops Tactics
Shiva does not litigate, publish or fund scientific research, build institutions, treat patients, or collaborate with other leaders. He has demonstrated no inclination to work with the rest of us to build a Movement, powerful enough to confront the Big Pharma and the Big Data/Telecom tyrants. He behaves, in every instance, like a man determined to tear down all that others have built up. People who still believe in Shiva might demand to know why he chooses to spare FDA, Pfizer, Microsoft, and 5G his barbs, and to direct his poison instead at our proven leaders. Shiva seems intent on distracting Del, Mark, Rashid, Polly, Taylor, Candice and others from their important work. His sinister, treacherous and destructive rear guard action, fomenting and feeding schism, division, discord, and confusion that harms our Movement, plays directly into the hands of Big Pharma.

Shiva’s followers are entitled to an explanation."

NewsGuard Thought Police Deny SARS-CoV-2 Leaked From Lab
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
April 28, 2020

G9zrD4DitQ0

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
NewsGuard recently announced that my site has been classified as fake news because we have reported the SARS-CoV-2 virus as potentially having been leaked from the biosafety level 4 laboratory in Wuhan City, China, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak
According to NewsGuard, “There is no evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the outbreak, and genomic evidence has found that the virus is 96% identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus”
NewsGuard’s position is in direct conflict with published scientific evidence suggesting this virus was created in a lab and not zoonotically transmitted
SARS-CoV-2 appears to be a bat coronavirus modified to integrate spike proteins that allows the virus to enter human cells by attaching to ACE-2 receptors, as well as an envelope protein from HIV called GP141, which impairs immune function
Many mainstream media, U.S. and U.K. government officials, and even Chinese researchers, report that suspicions about SARS-CoV-2 having been created in and leaked from the BSL4 facility in Wuhan cannot be discounted, and that directions to censor reports about the virus’ origin is coming from the Chinese government
NewsGuard has classified mercola.com as fake news because we have reported the SARS-CoV-2 virus as potentially having been leaked from the biosafety level 4 laboratory in Wuhan City, China, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak.

NewsGuard’s intern Nina Zweig (edited by deputy editor John Gregory) referred to my February 4, 2020, article, “Novel Coronavirus — The Latest Pandemic Scare,” in which I stated:

"In January 2018, China’s first maximum security virology laboratory (biosecurity level 4) designed for the study of the world’s most dangerous pathogens opened its doors — in Wuhan.1,2 Is it pure coincidence that Wuhan City is now the epicenter of this novel coronavirus infection?

The year before, Tim Trevan, a Maryland biosafety consultant, expressed concern about viral threats potentially escaping the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory,3 which happens to be located just 20 miles from the Wuhan market identified as ground zero for the current NCIP outbreak.4”

According to NewsGuard,5 “There is no evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the outbreak, and genomic evidence has found that the virus is ‘96% identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus.’”

Evidence Suggests SARS-CoV-2 Is a Modified Bat Coronavirus
Sure, as detailed in my April 26, 2020, interview with bioweapons expert Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, SARS-CoV-2 started out with a bat coronavirus, but scientific evidence has revealed much more about this virus, none of which NewsGuard is bothering to take into account before classifying and censoring reports as “misinformation.”

Importantly, there’s compelling scientific evidence published in many prominent scientific journals showing this virus was indeed created in a lab and not zoonotically transmitted (transmitted naturally from animal to human).

As explained by Boyle, SARS-CoV-2 appears to be a bat coronavirus6 that was modified to integrate spike proteins that allow the virus to enter human cells by attaching to ACE-2 receptors. It’s also been modified to integrate an envelope protein from HIV called GP141, which tends to impair the immune system.

Additionally, Boyle strongly suspects nanotechnology was used in its creation as well, as its exceptional ability to stay airborne for long periods of time is a nanotech hallmark.7

NewsGuard’s arbitrary dismissal of my February 4 article as fake news is equally inappropriate even if the virus is “all natural” and zoonotically transmitted. As reported by The Daily Mail, April 11, 2020:8

“The laboratory at the center of scrutiny over the pandemic has been carrying out research on bats from the cave which scientists believe is the original source of the devastating outbreak.

Documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday show the Wuhan Institute of Virology undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan — funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US government. Sequencing of the Covid-19 genome has traced it to bats found in Yunnan's caves.”
Governments Are Not Dismissing Possibility of a Leak
An April 14, 2020, report9,10 by The Washington Post highlighted the fact that U.S. State Department cables from two years ago warned there were inadequate safety precautions and procedures in place at Wuhan’s BSL4 facility, and April 15, 2020, Fox News reported11 that “State Department leaked cables renew theories on origin of coronavirus.”

Yet NewsGuard, the thought police advertising front group for industries like Big Pharma and tobacco, simply dismisses and wants to bury this information. Such censorship has no room in a democratic and free society. I would argue that shutting down conversations about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is a direct threat to democracy and indeed to science itself.

Will NewsGuard classify The Washington Post’s and Fox News’ articles as “misinformation” as well? Fox News quotes Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff12

"It should be no surprise to you that we have taken a keen interest in that and we've had a lot of intelligence take a hard look at that. I would just say at this point, it's inconclusive, although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural, but we don't know for certain."

As you may have noticed, in my “flagged” February 4 article I didn’t even make an assertion, I merely asked the question: “Is it pure coincidence that Wuhan City is now the epicenter of this novel coronavirus infection?”

February 16, 2020, Chinese scientists even raised the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 is the result of bioweapons research leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. See the video below for this report.

ZC0gww2yznI

Since my February 4 article, I’ve become increasingly convinced — through reviewing the scientific literature that NewsGuard ignores or is unaware of — that SARS-CoV-2 may in fact be a synthetic virus, likely created and released (inadvertently or not) from one or more laboratories that worked on weaponizing SARS and bat coronaviruses.

According to an April 5, 2020, article13 in Daily Mail, British government officials are also considering the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the Wuhan facility, stating the possibility of this “is no longer being discounted.” Will NewsGuard classify Daily Mail as a misinformant?

Will they accuse Gen. Milley of spreading fake news? How about Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr, who tweeted14 an April 16 Fox News report15 about SARS-CoV-2 being leaked from the Wuhan lab “as part of China’s efforts to compete with U.S.”?

Ironically, Carr even commented, “I’m old enough to remember when posting this would get you deplatformed.” Apparently, the abusive power of censorship that Twitter and other tech platforms have has not escaped the FCC.

Is NewsGuard Protecting Chinese Interests?

VIDEO HERE--COULD NOT EMBED, BUT WILL ASK MODS-SOUNDS LIKE MIKE ADAMS

Interestingly, an April 16, 2020, report16 by CNN reveals the censorship of articles mentioning the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may have leaked from the Wuhan BSL4 facility appears to come from China, which means NewsGuard is functionally protecting Chinese interests and inhibiting scientific inquiry. CNN writes:17

“China has imposed restrictions on the publication of academic research on the origins of the novel coronavirus, according to a central government directive and online notices18 published by two Chinese universities, that have since been removed from the web.

Under the new policy, all academic papers on Covid-19 will be subject to extra vetting before being submitted for publication. Studies on the origin of the virus will receive extra scrutiny and must be approved by central government officials, according to the now-deleted posts …

The increased scrutiny appears to be the latest effort by the Chinese government to control the narrative on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic …

According to the directive issued by the Ministry of Education's science and technology department, ‘academic papers about tracing the origin of the virus must be strictly and tightly managed’ …

A Chinese researcher who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation said the move was a worrying development that would likely obstruct important scientific research.

‘I think it is a coordinated effort from (the) Chinese government to control (the) narrative, and paint it as if the outbreak did not originate in China,’ the researcher told CNN. ‘And I don't think they will really tolerate any objective study to investigate the origination of this disease.’"

US Funded Wuhan Laboratory
As I mention in my interview with Boyle, while the biosafety level 4 (BSL4) lab in Wuhan may have leaked the virus, the U.S. may have played a role in its creation. For starters, the chairman of the Harvard department of chemistry, nanoscience expert, Charles Lieber, Ph.D., was arrested earlier this year by federal agencies, suspected of illegal dealings with China.19 Lieber has denied the allegations.

Lieber allegedly oversaw the Nano Key Laboratory, a joint collaboration by the Wuhan University of Technology and Harvard, although Harvard officials claim they had no knowledge of the lab before 2015. In our interview, Boyle dismisses the idea that Harvard was unaware Lieber was working on nanotechnology for biological materials with the Chinese as “preposterous.”

NPR, which summarized the allegations as being centered around a Chinese recruitment program, added even more serious allegations, saying Lieber:20

“… faces charges of trading knowledge for money and lying about it. Prosecutors allege he set up a lab in China in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments from the Chinese government and then denied knowledge of those payments to U.S. investigators … others watching the case say it raises important questions about ethics, scientific openness and possible racial profiling in an era of geopolitical tension.”

Lieber’s attorney declined to comment on the charges, NPR said. It’s also noteworthy that both the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research have funded research at the Wuhan BSL4 facility, including research on bat coronaviruses.21,22

Arizona senator Martha McSally told Fox news,23 “The NIH must immediately stop deploying American tax dollars to China for this dangerous research.” Justin Goodman, vice president for advocacy and public policy for the White Coat Waste Project added:24

“The U.S. government’s spending spree that we’ve exposed at the notorious Wuhan Institute of Virology is outrageous and unacceptable. Taxpayers should never be forced to bankroll China’s hazardous bio-agent experiments, which put human life around the world gravely at risk. We’ll continue to work with our advocates and Congress to put an end to this egregious misuse of Americans' tax dollars."

April 14, 2020, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz tweeted,25 “At best, Americans are funding people who are lying to us. At worst, we’re funding people who we knew had problems handling pathogens, who then birthed a monster virus onto the world.”

NewsGuard Also Promotes Censorship via Public Libraries
NewsGuard has set itself up as the self-appointed global arbiter of what information is “trustworthy” based on nine “credibility and transparency” factors, not only for information viewed on private electronic devices, but also for information accessible in schools and public libraries26 — more than 700 libraries across the globe so far.27

Librarians will even provide instructions to patrons on how to install the NewsGuard extension on their personal computers, tablets and cell phones. Once you’ve installed the NewsGuard browser plugin on your computer or cellphone, the NewsGuard icon rating will appear on all Google and Bing searches and on articles featured in your social media news feeds.

The NewsGuard ratings are meant to influence the reader, instructing them to disregard content with cautionary colors and cautions. Fake news is certainly a problem. But determining who should have the final word on credibility and what is “truth” is not a simple one. Who is going to verify the credibility and transparency of the verifiers, i.e., NewsGuard?

NewsGuard Protects Big Industries
To understand NewsGuard’s agenda, you need to know something about its creation and funding. Aside from internet giants Microsoft28 and Google, NewsGuard is backed by companies that are involved in advertising and marketing of pharmaceutical products, cigarettes and unhealthy junk food to kids.

NewsGuard's $6 million startup was funded in part by the Publicis Groupe,29 the “third largest global communications group” according to the Publicis website.30 Publicis was founded in 1926 by Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, a French entrepreneur, with the goal of improving the image of advertising and turning it into “a real profession.” In fact, Publicis Groupe’s name is derived in part from the French word for advertising.31

The Publicis Groupe has been manipulating what people think about commercial products for nearly a century. Over that century, this advertising and communications firm bought or partnered with targeted advertising avenues, beginning with newspapers, followed by radio, TV, cinema and the internet.

With revenue avenues secured, Publicis’ clients and partners built a global presence that dominated the advertising world. Be it tobacco or sugar, Publicis Groupe found a way to promote and strengthen big industries. In 1983, Publicis introduced the concept of global communication driven by marketing.

Within the Publicis Groupe are four networks serving its clients,32 including Publicis Health,33 which once boasted on the website that its clients are "some of the biggest and most exciting names in health and wellness,” but has now taken that claim down and moved it to job postings.34

Publicis Scoops Up Top Vaccine Companies
The list of clients that once appeared on the health site’s wallpaper has also been taken down, but were proudly listed in an October 2019 Business Wire news release on Publicis’ third quarter revenue report — which, by the way, was up an impressive 17.3%.35

The report shows that Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Pasteur and Regeneron, just to name a few, have come onboard — showing that Publicis is now working for Big Pharma’s top dogs: vaccine companies.

By happenstance, Regeneron just announced that it’s working on a coronavirus vaccine and treatment.36 Regeneron is also partnering with Sanofi to find a COVID-19 treatment; Sanofi is independently working on its own COVID-19 vaccine.37

The Publicis Health board also consists of a power pack of high-profile individuals with Big Pharma position backgrounds or affiliations.38,39,40,41,42,43 Leo Burnett, the ad company famous for creating the Marlboro man ad campaigns that made Marlboro the best-selling cigarette in the world and led to the nicotine addiction of millions, many of whom died from smoking, is also part of Publicis.44,45

To put icing on the cake, Publicis has also added Google and Facebook Messenger to their repertoire.46 When you consider that Publicis now describes its business model approach as putting clients and their needs and objectives at the center of all they do so their clients can “win and grow,” it’s easy to see what’s driving NewsGuard.

What You Can Do to STOP This Abuse
Overall, NewsGuard is just another big business aimed at keeping the chemical, drug and food industries, as well as mainstream media, intact by discrediting and eliminating unwanted competitors and analysts who empower you with information that runs counter to any given industry’s agenda.

You can learn more about NewsGuard in my previous articles, “Beware: New Plan to Censor Health Websites” and “Thought Police NewsGuard Is Owned by Big Pharma.”

If you’re as disturbed by censorship as I am, be sure to contact your local library today to find out if they’re one of the more than 700 libraries using NewsGuard. If they are, then ask them if they’re aware of NewsGuard’s censorship of truthful news that is now encroaching on scientific freedom and threatening the very roots of our democracy.

If your local library is using NewsGuard, it would be helpful to start a campaign to get it removed. Contact your neighbors and let them know Newsguard is owned by a pharmaceutical public relations firm that censors information damaging to their clients' interests.

PLANNED STARVATION
Apr 27, 2020
The Atlantis Report
Review from Alexandra Bruce: https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/planned-starvation-of-america/
(Not just in the US, obviously!)
Q-D1AROQNGU

"This is the latest from The Atlantis Report and it is scary.

We’ve been hearing about the “Plandemic”. We may start hearing about the planned famine.

It feels like we’re being herded into the Green New Deal, despite nobody having voted for it. It’s like a slow motion trainwreck crossed with 9/11 and the film, ‘Groundhog Day’, with the TSA now everywhere, obliging you to wear a mask.

Don’t want to starve? You’ll take that vaccine and chip, whether you like it or not.

The Atlantic Report is calling this a “manufactured food shortage” in the making. He says hunger is what governments do to enslave their own citizens into submission and that this whole thing could also be an experiment to see how we react, to see how easy we are to control, to implement the next phase of Global domination.

We cannot look away. We need to see where this psyop is heading and to do whatever we can to get our local governments to stop the lockdown as soon as possible.

***

SELECTED QUOTES

The US Government and bankers stole your pension, savings, future and they’re about to starve you.

To be clear, this was not caused by COVID-19. This was caused by federal and state governments shutting down all businesses and putting millions out of work.

Never, ever, ever has the government just shut down the food supply because of the flu. This is all engineered. Food is a weapon.

Quarantine is what you do to restrict the movement of a sick person. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of a healthy person.

There is no rational basis to closing the slaughterhouses over a few cases of the virus, just as we don’t close them every year for the flu.

This is a deliberate attack on the food supply chain of the American People. Nothing is more tyrannical than threatening people with starvation.

Why are we paying 25 million unemployed to sit at home watching TV, while at the same time, we are destroying our food supply due to lack of workers?

But how else can you crash an economy if you don’t bribe unskilled labor to stay at home? How does food processing not come under an essential job and therefore, still remain open?

So, between higher food prices, unemployment and harder times ahead, they somehow thought, “Let’s kill all our livestock and burn them in a pile!”

Before the pandemic, 1 in 7 Americans relied on a food bank. Now, the demand has tripled. Millions of Americans are lining up for food. Meanwhile, millions of tons of food are rotting in the fields. Farmers are destroying produce, dumping milk and culling livestock because the pandemic has upended supply chains, making it impossible for many to get crops to market. We have long food bank lines and farmers destroying food.

The National Guard has been deployed to the nation’s food banks to ensure food supply chain networks are not severed and that the logistical pipelines of food to these facilities can continue dishing out care packages to the working poor. But how about deployments at meatpacking plants and dairies, chicken farms, etc.? w about help planting and harvesting?

Or is this a planned famine? Is this the Department of Homeland Holodomor?"

WE STILL DON’T KNOW HOW THE CORONAVIRUS IS KILLING US

By David Wallace-Wells

(some excerpts)

...We are now almost six months into this pandemic, which began in November in Wuhan, with 50,000 Americans dead and 200,000 more around the world. If each of those deaths is a data point, together they represent a quite large body of evidence from which to form a clear picture of the pandemic threat. Early in the epidemic, the coronavirus was seen as a variant of a familiar family of disease, not a mysterious ailment, however infectious and concerning. But while uncertainties at the population level confuse and frustrate public-health officials, unsure when and in what form to shift gears out of lockdowns, the disease has proved just as mercurial at the clinical level, with doctors revising their understanding of COVID-19’s basic pattern and weaponry — indeed often revising that understanding in different directions at once. The clinical shape of the disease, long presumed to be a relatively predictable respiratory infection, is getting less clear by the week. Lately, it seems, by the day. As Carl Zimmer, probably the country’s most respected science journalist, asked virologists in a tweet last week, “is there any other virus out there that is this weird in terms of its range of symptoms?”

You probably have a sense of the range of common symptoms, and a sense that the range isn’t that weird: fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath have been, since the beginning of the outbreak, the familiar, oft-repeated group of tell-tale signs. But while the CDC does list fever as the top symptom of COVID-19, so confidently that for weeks patients were turned away from testing sites if they didn’t have an elevated temperature.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, as many as 70 percent of patients sick enough to be admitted to New York State’s largest hospital system did not have a fever.

Over the past few months, Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital has been compiling and revising, in real time, treatment guidelines for COVID-19 which have become a trusted clearinghouse of best-practices information for doctors throughout the country. According to those guidelines, as few as 44 percent of coronavirus patients presented with a fever (though, in their meta-analysis, the uncertainty is quite high, with a range of 44 to 94 percent). Cough is more common, according to Brigham and Women’s, with between 68 percent and 83 percent of patients presenting with some cough — though that means as many as three in ten sick enough to be hospitalized won’t be coughing. As for shortness of breath, the Brigham and Women’s estimate runs as low as 11 percent. The high end is only 40 percent, which would still mean that more patients hospitalized for COVID-19 do not have shortness of breath than do. At the low end of that range, shortness of breath would be roughly as common among COVID-19 patients as confusion (9 percent), headache (8 to 14 percent), and nausea and diarrhea (3 to 17 percent). That the ranges are so wide themselves tells you that the disease is presenting in very different ways in different hospitals and different populations of different patients — leading, for instance, some doctors and scientists to theorize the virus might be attacking the immune system like HIV does, with many others finding the disease is triggering something like the opposite response, an overwhelming overreaction of the immune system called a “cytokine storm.”

The most bedeviling confusion has arisen around the relationship of the disease to breathing, lung function, and oxygenation levels in the blood — typically, for a respiratory illness, a quite predictable relationship. But for weeks now, front-line doctors have been expressing confusion that so many coronavirus patients were registering lethally low blood-oxygenation levels while still appearing, by almost any vernacular measure, pretty okay.

It’s one reason they’ve begun rethinking the initial clinical focus on ventilators, which are generally recommended when patients oxygenation falls below a certain level, but seemed, after a few weeks, of unclear benefit to COVID-19 patients, who may have done better, doctors began to suggest, on lesser or different forms of oxygen support. For a while, ventilators were seen so much as the essential tool in treating life-threatening coronavirus that shortages (and the president’s unwillingness to invoke the Defense Production Act to manufacture them quickly) became a scandal. But by one measure 88 percent of New York patients put on ventilators, for whom an outcome as known, had died. In China, the figure was 86 percent.

On April 20 in the New York Times, an ER doctor named Richard Levitan who had been volunteering at Bellevue proposed that the phenomenon of seemingly stable patients registering lethally low oxygen levels might be explained by “silent hypoxia” — the air sacs in the lung collapsing, not getting stiff or heavy with fluid, as is the case with the pneumonias doctors had been using as models in their treatment of COVID-19. But whether this explanation is universal, limited to the patients at Bellevue, or somewhere in between is not yet entirely clear. A couple of days later, in a pre-print paper others questioned, scientists reported finding that the ability of the disease to mutate has been “vastly underestimated” — investigating the disease as it appeared in just 11 patients, they said they found 30 mutations. “The most aggressive strains could generate 270 times as much viral load as the weakest type,” the South China Morning-Post reported. “These strains also killed the cells the fastest.”

That same day, the Washington Post reported on another theory gaining traction among American doctors treating the disease — that one key could be the way COVID-19 affects the blood of patients, producing much more clotting. “Autopsies have shown that some people’s lungs are filled with hundreds of microclots,” the Post reported. “Errant blood clots of a larger size can break off and travel to the brain or heart, causing a stroke or a heart attack.”

But the bigger-picture perspective the newspaper offered is perhaps more eye-opening and to the point:

One month ago, as the country went into lockdown to prepare for the first wave of coronavirus cases, many doctors felt confident that they knew what they were dealing with. Based on early reports, covid-19 appeared to be a standard variety respiratory virus, albeit a very contagious and lethal one with no vaccine and no treatment. But they’ve since become increasingly convinced that covid-19 attacks not only the lungs, but also the kidneys, heart, intestines, liver and brain.

That is a dizzying list. But it is not even comprehensive. In a fantastic survey published April 17 (“How does coronavirus kill? Clinicians trace a ferocious rampage through the body, from brain to toes,” by Meredith Wadman, Jennifer Couzin-Frankel, Jocelyn Kaiser, and Catherine Matacic), Science magazine took a thorough, detailed tour of the ever-evolving state of understanding of the disease. “Despite the more than 1,000 papers now spilling into journals and onto preprint servers every week,” Science concluded, “a clear picture is elusive, as the virus acts like no pathogen humanity has ever seen.”

In a single illuminating chart, Science lists the following organs as being vulnerable to COVID-19: brain, eyes, nose, lungs, heart, blood vessels, livers, kidneys, intestines. That is to say, nearly every organ:

And the disparate impacts were significant ones: Heart damage was discovered in 20 percent of patients hospitalized in Wuhan, where 44 percent of those in ICU exhibited arrhythmias; 38 percent of Dutch ICU patients had irregular blood clotting; 27 percent of Wuhan patients had kidney failure, with many more showing signs of kidney damage; half of Chinese patients showed signs of liver damage; and, depending on the study, between 20 percent and 50 percent of patients had diarrhea.

On April 15, the Washington Post reported that, in New York and Wuhan, between 14 and 30 percent of ICU patients had lost kidney function, requiring dialysis.

New York hospitals were treating so much kidney failure “they need more personnel who can perform dialysis and have issued an urgent call for volunteers from other parts of the country. They also are running dangerously short of the sterile fluids used to deliver that therapy.” The result, the Post said, was rationed care: patients needing 24-hour support getting considerably less. On Saturday, the paper reported that “[y]oung and middle-aged people, barely sick with COVID-19, are dying from strokes.” Many of the patients described didn’t even know they were sick:

The patient’s chart appeared unremarkable at first glance. He took no medications and had no history of chronic conditions. He had been feeling fine, hanging out at home during the lockdown like the rest of the country, when suddenly, he had trouble talking and moving the right side of his body. Imaging showed a large blockage on the left side of his head. Oxley gasped when he got to the patient’s age and covid-19 status: 44, positive.

The man was among several recent stroke patients in their 30s to 40s who were all infected with the coronavirus. The median age for that type of severe stroke is 74.

But the patient’s age wasn’t the only abnormality of the case:

As Oxley, an interventional neurologist, began the procedure to remove the clot, he observed something he had never seen before. On the monitors, the brain typically shows up as a tangle of black squiggles — “like a can of spaghetti,” he said — that provide a map of blood vessels. A clot shows up as a blank spot. As he used a needlelike device to pull out the clot, he saw new clots forming in real-time around it. “This is crazy,” he remembers telling his boss.

These strokes, several doctors who spoke to the Post theorized, could explain the high number of patients dying at home — four times the usual rate in New York, many or most of them, perhaps, dying quite suddenly. According to the Brigham and Women’s guidelines, only 53 percent of COVID-19 patients have died from respiratory failure alone.

It’s not unheard of, of course, for a disease to express itself in complicated or hard-to-parse ways, attacking or undermining the functioning of a variety of organs. And it’s common, as researchers and doctors scramble to map the shape of a new disease, for their understanding to evolve quite quickly. But the degree to which doctors and scientists are, still, feeling their way, as though blindfolded, toward a true picture of the disease cautions against any sense that things have stabilized, given that our knowledge of the disease hasn’t even stabilized. Perhaps more importantly, it’s a reminder that the coronavirus pandemic is not just a public-health crisis but a scientific one as well. And that as deep as it may feel we are into the coronavirus, with tens of thousands dead and literally billions in precautionary lockdown, we are still in the very early stages, when each new finding seems as likely to cloud or complicate our understanding of the coronavirus as it is to clarify it. Instead, confidence gives way to uncertainty.

In the space of a few months, we’ve gone from thinking there was no “asymptomatic transmission” to believing it accounts for perhaps half or more of all cases, from thinking the young were invulnerable to thinking they were just somewhat less vulnerable, from believing masks were unnecessary to requiring their use at all times outside the house, from panicking about ventilator shortages to deploying pregnancy massage pillows instead. Six months since patient zero, we still have no drugs proven to even help treat the disease...

By Emma Batha

LONDON, April 22 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - From Sydney re-opening beaches for swimmers to Paris introducing traffic-free roads, many cities are tentatively easing lockdowns (Coronavirus: our latest stories), but governments have a tricky balancing act as they draw up exit strategies.

Lifting restrictions too fast could lead to a new spike in infections overwhelming health services, but prolonging lockdowns could fuel unemployment, harm children's education and exacerbate domestic abuse and mental health issues.

Coronavirus: our latest stories (https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.trust.org%2Fcoronavirus%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cmagdalena.mis%40thomsonreuters.com%7Cc754cde46a0c4eedb55d08d7cb5b8533%7C62ccb8646a1a4 b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C637201466264677681&sdata=pJDxvFphFHDMPJIa6Y0ZkYZz14CIaDvY2gUM1SDXFBM%3D&reserved=0)
Bogota and Berlin are among a growing number of cities turning streets over to pedestrians and cyclists to reduce crowding and ease pollution, which appears to aggravate the impact of the virus.

In the longer term, urban planning experts say the pandemic could lead to more fundamental changes to cities as they aim to become more resilient to future outbreaks.

Here is a round-up of what different cities are doing. This story will be regularly updated with new developments.

FRANCE
Paris plans to reserve streets for pedestrians and bicycles when the lockdown is progressively eased from May 11.

Masks will be compulsory on public transport. Paris aims to distribute 2 million masks, prioritising the elderly and other vulnerable people. Bus stops, metro stations, gyms and nurseries will be equipped with hand gel dispensers.

Testing will be ramped up in areas with a high number of cases.

In the long term, Mayor Anne Hidalgo is aiming for the "quarter-hour city", where most daily needs are within a short walk, bike ride or public transport commute, to reduce congestion and pollution, and improve quality of life.

Nationwide, schools will gradually reopen from May 11 with a cap of 15 on class sizes. Shops will reopen in May but restaurants and cafes will remain closed.

SPAIN
Millions of children who have been cooped up indoors in cities across Spain since March 14 are now allowed out for one hour's exercise near their home. Parks and playgrounds remain closed.

Spain has one of the world's strictest lockdowns. Some fear the restrictions could impact children's mental and physical wellbeing. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has said everyone will be allowed to go out for walks or exercise from next week if contagion figures fall.

Barcelona has announced a 4.4 million euro ($4.76 million)plan to reduce traffic, including the creation of an extra 21 km of bike lanes and 12 km of pedestrianized streets.

ITALY
Europe's worst hit country will ease restrictions from May 4, when factories and building sites will be allowed to reopen.

People will be able to visit their families and move between municipalities, but not regions. They can also hold small funerals.

Exercise outdoors will be allowed if people keep 1 metre apart.

Restaurants and bars will be able to open from the beginning of June, but schools will remain shut until September, leaving families facing childcare problems.

Milan has announced an ambitious scheme to turn streets over to cycling and walking, according to Britain's Guardian newspaper. The city, among Europe's most polluted, is keen to avoid a big resurgence in car use when restrictions ease.

GERMANY
Berlin will ease a host of restrictions on May 4. Public transport will resume normal service, and museums, libraries and open-air sports grounds will be able to open with social distancing.

Protests, religious ceremonies and open-air gatherings of under 50 people will be permitted if participants keep 1.5 metres apart. Berlin's popular Tiergarten, a big central park with a zoo, can reopen but spaces with animals will stay shut.

As in the rest of Germany, car retailers, bikeshops and book stores were allowed to reopen on Monday, along with all smaller shops. Schools also opened for students taking exams and will gradually open to others from May 4.

It is now compulsory for everyone to wear a mask when shopping or using public transport.

Hairdressers have been permitted to reopen but must wear protective gear and space out customers.

In Frankfurt, ice cream parlours are allowed to open for take-aways, but ice creams cannot be sold in cones to prevent contamination, nor eaten within 50 metres of parlours to prevent crowding.

THE NETHERLANDS
The Hague city council has decided to resume meetings but needs to find a larger chamber to keep to social distancing rules.

Across the Netherlands, primary schools will reopen on May 11 with classes split in two groups attending on alternate days. Parents have been asked to walk or cycle children to school to avoid overburdening public transport.

From April 29, people over 70 who live by themselves will be allowed to receive one of two regular visitors.

BELGIUM
In Brussels, as elsewhere in Belgium, people will be allowed to meet up outside with two people not living with them.

All shops will be allowed to open from May 11 and schools will gradually open from May 18 with classes capped at 10 pupils.

In Antwerp, port workers will begin testing wristbands (https://news.trust.org/item/20200423083307-n57s0/) developed by a Belgian technology company that could help with social distancing requirements by giving a warning signal if people get too close. Developers believe the bands could also help with contact tracing if someone becomes infected.

JORDAN
Jordan has opened up four cities for business where there are no COVID-19 cases - Aqaba, Ma'an, Karak and Tafilah - but it has cut off transport in and out of them. Residents are still bound by a 6pm to 10am curfew.

Residents in the four cities can use their cars again, but elsewhere people must still walk to shops.

The government has launched www.stayhome.jo (http://www.stayhome.jo) where people can obtain permits to leave their homes for things like hospital visits or trips to the bank to wire salaries.

COLOMBIA
Bogota has added more than 100km of temporary bike lanes to its already extensive network, closing some roads to do so.

The initiative announced just before the March 20 lockdown was aimed at easing crowding on buses to curb the spread of the virus.

Colombia has extended its lockdown until May 11 when it will allow the construction and manufacturing sectors to open. Schools will remain closed.

SINGAPORE
The city-state has extended its lockdown to June 1.

Authorities have announced a S$30 million ($21 million) grant to ramp up local production of eggs, vegetables and fish in the city which imports 90% of its food.
In the longer-term Singapore is pushing urban farming - pushing urban farming (https://news.trust.org/item/20200408062120-9zn5k/): including rooftop farming - with an aim to produce 30% of what it needs by 2030.

CHINA
In Wuhan (https://news.trust.org/item/20200416041408-tgmvx), where coronavirus first appeared, shopping malls have reopened and businesses resumed work, but local residential committees still monitor households and restrict personal movement amid fears of a potential second wave of contagion.

INDIA
India allowed some small shops in residential areas to reopen on April 25 with staff wearing masks and gloves.

The lockdown is slated to end on May 3, but authorities may extend it.

One village council in Kerala state is distributing umbrellas to enforce social distancing, according to Indian media. The council says if everyone walks around with an open umbrella it will keep people at least a metre apart.

AUSTRALIA
Sydney's Bondi Beach and two neighbouring beaches were reopened to local residents on April 28 after being closed in March due to large crowds breaking social distancing rules.

New South Wales state will allow people to have two visitors from Friday, relaxing a ban on non-essential movement.

The government has launched a "contact tracing" smartphone app to monitor the spread of the illness.

NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand, which imposed one of the world's strictest lockdowns, eased restrictions on April 28, allowing workers to return to factories and building sites.

Take-aways can reopen, but restaurants, pubs and shopping malls remain closed.

Schools will reopen on April 29, but people are advised to study and work from home if they can.

UNITED STATES
Cities including New York and Washington are closing roads and extending bike lanes to give people more space to walk, jog and cycle. Oakland in California is turning over about 10% of its streets to pedestrians and cyclists.

Some states are now easing restrictions, despite criticism from public health experts and many Americans. Businesses reopening in Atlanta (https://news.trust.org/item/20200422092243-gveym/) include salons, gyms, bowling alleys and tattoo shops. Restaurants and cinemas will be able to open next week.

Nothing has happened yet, but, in the stumble through meat, there is some chance of the government using one of its only effective tools, Antitrust (https://www.rt.com/usa/487275-meat-industry-antitrust-shortages/) that was used on Standard Oil:

"Two US senators have asked the Federal Trade Commission to launch an antitrust probe into the US meatpacking industry. As these firms struggle to maintain supply chains, calls are growing for a return to small-scale farming.

Four companies now handle 85 percent of all beef production in the US, and three of these firms control 63 percent of the country’s pork production. The companies – Tyson Foods, Cargill, the Brazilian-owned JBS S.A., and the Chinese-owned Smithfield – have been criticized extensively before for underpaying farmers and workers, and for horrific animal abuse at their plants...In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Wednesday, Senators Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) urged the department to open an antitrust investigation into these meat monopolies...Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle – including Hawley and former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren – have also called for antitrust investigations into Amazon, Google, and other Silicon Valley tech giants."

Do I hear Fidel Castro speaking? "Grow food at home".

Meanwhile, the State Department (https://en.farsnews.ir/newstext.aspx?nn=13990210000949) wants to designate more sanctions based on lack of religious freedom:

"The State Department designates nine "countries of particular concern" on religious freedom - China, Eritrea, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.

The commission asked that all nine countries remain on the list. In addition to India, it sought the inclusion of four more - Nigeria, Russia, Syria and Vietnam.

Pakistan, India's historic rival, was added by the State Department in 2018 after years of appeals by the commission."

Ok, well, Pakistan historically is India, nothing there until the British carved it out intentionally to force religious conflict. Wish granted? What, India is not too keen on Muslims? But then we find a need to sanction Islamic countries, such as Saudi Arabia, except we have already pledged defense and business to them...our big partner...may have a few abuses going on?? What about Zionism? How can you miss such obvious apartheid? On purpose? This seems to be one of those things that has foregone conclusions and other motivations plastered to whatever data they approve.

Hold on, aren't Turkmen close to Uighurs that we wish to use as a new extremist proxy against China?

For India, "You could potentially have 100 million people, mostly Muslims, left stateless because of their religion. That would be, obviously, an international issue," said Perkins, a conservative Christian activist known for his opposition to gay rights who is close to Trump's administration.

India is the same word as Hindu: Indus River, which is mostly in Pakistan now. And of course the Islamic presence there stems from centuries of genocide and destruction at a level that is hard to overlook.

The U. S. may come up with many of its own ploys, but, diplomatically, the State Department is headed straight in to the dust bin of irrelevance. No one really wants to hear it any more, except, perhaps, those in NATO, and I believe there is at least some stratum interested in "NATO exit", which makes sense, as it is again irrelevant.

Coronavirus: New antibody test 'with 99 per cent accuracy' approved for use across Europe
The Independent Shaun Lintern,The Independent

You mean to say the other tests were not accurate?
Chris says

The first human vaccine trials will start on Thursday: AFP via Getty Images

A new antibody test to check whether someone has been infected with coronavirus, and said to be 99 per cent accurate, has been certified for use across Europe.

Global diagnostics specialists Abbott, which has a UK base in Maidenhead, has said it is expecting to have shipped millions of the laboratory based lab tests across Europe by the end of May.

The company’s diagnostic test has been given a CE mark showing it complies with EU safety rules and can now be used in labs across the UK to test for antibodies created when a person has been infected with Covid-19.

The test identifies the IgG protein the body produces when it has been infected by coronavirus and this can remain in the body for months and possibly years.

In tests Abbott claimed its product showed a sensitivity greater than 99 per cent, 14 days after a person developed symptoms in 73 Covid-19 positive patients.

It was also more than 99 per cent specific in identifying only Covid-19 antibodies from 1,070 negative samples.

The Abbott test, made in Europe, can be used in machines already in labs across the UK.

Antibody testing is crucial to helping identify patients who have had the coronavirus infection and have developed immunity as this will allow them to return to work and could be crucial for NHS workers and people in other key roles.

Rolling out widespread testing both for infected and recovered coronavirus patients is likely to be a key part of government measures to end the UK lockdown imposed on 23 March.

Mike Clayton, managing director of Abbott’s northern Europe diagnostics division said: “Abbott has been focused on bringing Covid-19 tests to market as quickly as possible to help address this pandemic.

“We are proud to be able to provide our antibody tests immediately as they will help understand who has had the virus, leading to greater confidence as we get back to living life. We are collaborating with the NHS, public health bodies and private laboratories across the UK to enable this test to be used here."

Abbott is significantly scaling up its European manufacturing for antibody testing and has also said it will develop testing for detection of the antibody IgM in the near future to expand the range of possible antibody tests.

The health secretary told the daily Downing Street press conference yesterday that people over 65 and their families would now be eligible for testing, as well as people who leave their homes to work who have coronavirus symptoms.

Care home residents and staff will also be able to access tests - even if they do not have symptoms, as well as asymptomatic NHS patients and staff.

The demand for home testing kits has so far exceeded supplies with the government website for ordering tests forced to close within hours.

Key workers could no longer order any tests online by 9.10am on Monday – the fourth day in a row where tests have become unavailable within hours of the booking system opening.

The kits ran out around two minutes after the service launched on Friday, and people were told there were none left on Saturday morning after around 15 minutes.

It was RFK Jr who did all the hard work. I just copied and pasted it here.

Wow, thanks a lot for the effort.
I was planning to look into Dr. Shiva work, it was in my list to research, seems like you did all the hard work. I knew about echomail Shiva's company ties with IBM and ORACLE, seems like it goes even further than that. Last video I watched he was asking for donations for his campaign, what an ass... hope people see it.
Again thank you very much for all this material, I will print and send over to friends take a look after analyse it.

DR ANDREW KAUFMAN - UNMASKING THE LIES AROUND COVID-19: FACTS VS FICTION OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Premiered 8 hours ago
London Real

"vDr. Andrew Kaufman, the American medical doctor, Professor of psychiatry, molecular biologist, and expert witness.

He studied at Duke, M.I.T, and the Medical University of South Carolina, where he conducted and published original research, and lectured to students, residents, and fellows.
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Kaufman has contradicted the mainstream media, by stating that the coronavirus is NOT causing a new disease, that there is no evidence of increased mortality, and that modern medicine is the leading cause of death.

Today I’m looking forward to an uncensored conversation about the COVID-19 pandemic, the science behind the virus, and the global erosion of civil liberties."

Madagascar's President Touts Herbal Drink Against COVID-19
By The Associated Press
April 28, 2020
https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/04/28/world/africa/ap-af-virus-outbreak-madagascar-herbal-drink.html

ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar — As their high school reopened after being closed for a month due to the coronavirus, students in Madagascar's capital city were given face masks and a small bottle of an herbal extract they were told to drink to protect them from COVID-19.

Many grimacing at its bitter taste, the students swallowed the drink and entered school to resume classes, where they were now seated one to a desk instead of two, for safer distance.

Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina promoted the drink, Covid Organics, on national television saying it will "change the course of history.”

There are no approved drugs for COVID-19 and numerous treatments and vaccines are currently being tested around the world.

Madagascar, an Indian Ocean island nation of 26 million people, currently has 128 recorded cases of Covid-19 and no deaths.

The herbal drink has not been scientifically tested and there’s no proof it works against COVID-19. But the president is enthusiastically promoting it.

“What we want to do today is to popularize this drink to protect our population,” said Rajoelina on television and then drank a bottle of the concoction.

The drink is being distributed for free in some schools that are reopening and in poor neighborhoods. Elsewhere it is being sold for about 30 cents for an 11-ounce bottle.

The drink was developed by the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research, a private organization that for more than 30 years has researched the uses of Madagascar's traditional medicines. The label on the bottle does not list the ingredients but the president said it is made from artemisia, a bitterroot that is used in some malaria drugs.

Medical experts are critical of the drink, pointing out that no scientific tests have been done on it.

“The scientific evidence that this is effective has not been proved. It's likely that it could actually harm the health of the population, particularly that of children," said the president of Madagascar's Academy of Medicine, Marcel Razanamparany, in a statement.

With no approved drugs for COVID-19, some people around the world are resorting to unproven therapies, sometimes with the backing of government leaders. Rigorous testing of herbal and other traditional remedies is needed, say experts.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health has warned against alternative medicine — including certain herbal therapies and teas — for treating or preventing COVID-19, saying there was no evidence they work and some may be unsafe.

“It’s the responsibility of those who make a herbal drink to show the scientific evidence that their claims are valid," said Dr. Stephen Barrett, a retired psychiatrist who runs Quackwatch, a website about unproven medical therapies.

“This is a worldwide problem, with untested products being promoted as cures,” he said. “The money spent producing this might be better spent in Madagascar vaccinating children against measles and other childhood diseases.”

Madagascar is currently battling an outbreak of measles, which last year killed nearly 1,000 children.

In Madagascar, the herbal drink was developed in recent weeks and will also be sold in larger 1-liter bottles for the equivalent of 80 cents and as tea bags for $2.60 for a box of 14.

In front of the Ampefiloha high school, in the center of the capital Antananarivo, hundreds of students in their final year, took the drink in order to return to class.

“I was a little afraid of this remedy at the beginning but I saw a program on television where the president of the republic drank it so I am no longer worried," said Hugo Ramiakatrarivo. "They say it boosts immunity, but I don’t know if it will work. My parents told me not to take this medicine. They even told me not to go to school today because the epidemic is not over and especially not to drink this medicine. They are really scared. But I decided to come to study because we have our exam at the end of the year.”

Classes were suspended on March 23 by the Malagasy authorities after the announcement of the first cases of COVID-19 in the country.

The school's principal, Mamisoa Randrianjafy, reassured skeptical students.

“It is an herbal tea as we are used to taking,” he explained, saying it is like many other herbal remedies popular in Madagascar. He said that if students refuse the drink, they would not be permitted to attend classes.

The secretary general of the Ministry of National Education, Herimanana Razafimahefa said the drink will be given to all students in the capital and two other cities where COVID-19 has been confirmed.

At the Ampefiloha high school, Déborah Andrianary, 19, took a few sips of the drink.

“It’s bitter and a little sweet at the same time, so it made me want to throw up," she said. "I’m not afraid to drink it because I’m used to herbal teas, but the taste is really weird. I don’t know if I’m going to finish this bottle.”

I don't think those claims re 5G are false!

Coronavirus: David Icke kicked off Facebook

Facebook has taken down the official page of conspiracy theorist David Icke for publishing "health misinformation that could cause physical harm".

Mr Icke has made several false claims about coronavirus, such as suggesting 5G mobile phone networks are linked to the spread of the virus.

In one video, he suggested a Jewish group was behind the virus.

Following the ban, his Twitter account posted: "Fascist Facebook deletes David Icke - the elite are TERRIFIED."

France (https://www.rt.com/news/487294-france-coronavirus-strain-italy-china/) has come to the conclusion that their virus is not from China or Italy.

This is reported by the Pasteur Institute (https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3081959/coronavirus-outbreak-france-did-not-come-directly-china-gene) and of course the U. S. president does not like it.

Just like some of the American studies, it turns out to have been well-distributed before any documented cases, and starts to show the dominant Chinese variety--which is supposed to be enough of a culprit they can be sued--as genetically younger than European or American versions.

There is already a 50% chance I might be an asymptomatic carrier of influenza, which might kill a whole bunch of others. Nothing much is new or different now.

There have been recent suggestions that the virus has various form causing different kind of illness and death.
Blood clots and strokes being mentioned.
David Icke never said that the virus was caused by 5G but implied that 5G weakened the immune system and made it more likely that a person could have a stroke or heart attack--blood clot if exposed to 5G
The article I posted several back in its fullness via the link --did not take into account the context.
Statements mean nothing without the context in which they were made.
I listened to the Live David Icke broadcast and he was very precise in what he stated
At no point did he say or imply that 5g caused the virus.
He gave information and left it up to the listener to make up their own mind,
Quite different from not being given choice to lockdown or not.
Free will and freedom-- seems to have disappeared over night.

Two-metre rule could be be reviewed, raising hope of relaxed restrictions
The Telegraph Sarah Knapton,The Telegraph

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/two-metre-rule-being-reviewed-195133676.html

The two-metre social distancing rule is being reviewed by the Government in the hope that relaxing the restriction could allow more businesses and schools to reopen, The Daily Telegraph understands.

Ministers have asked the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) to look again at whether people need to stay so far apart, amid growing evidence that coronavirus does not transmit well in the air.

The review is seen as increasingly important in government as the Cabinet prepares to agree the exit strategy from lockdown.

Business groups have been asked this weekend to provide feedback on government blueprints for how they might get back to work and the Prime Minister is considering gathering ministers for a summit at Chequers in the coming days to discuss the way forward.

The Sage meeting will be held on Tuesday, at which the virus’s rate of reproduction – the R-rate – will be assessed and a recommendation made on whether to lift lockdown measures.

It is believed that the Government is considering reopening schools before the summer holidays – probably in June – so that there will be a natural point when they could be closed again if infections start to rise, without disrupting parents for a second time.

Unions met ministers on Friday and discussed plans for schools to be given three weeks’ notice to reopen, adding to speculation that pupils may start to return after the May half-term holiday.

It is also expected that schools will be opened in phases, such as primaries first and then secondaries, to monitor how the different age groups are affecting the R-rate, and scrapping the two-metre rule would make classes easier to manage.

The World Health Organisation only recommends staying one metre apart, and following the less rigid approach would allow Britons to travel and work more freely when restrictions are eventually lifted.

One minister told The Telegraph that the issue of the two-metre rule was a “live discussion” in Whitehall.

“We want to get the country back to work and we want to keep probing so we are not missing any opportunities,” the minister said.

Ministers have “asked Sage to get us further and better particulars as to how hard and fast that really is. It is important to understand how much reliance has to be placed on it”, the minister added.

“The response genuinely has been led by the science. It is just about understanding exactly what is required and what isn’t.

“This is not about weakening the rules but it is about trying to test if it is actually necessary to be two metres. What is the empirical evidence on this?”

There is also unhappiness that Britain’s social distancing rules are more stringent than countries such as France, Italy and Sweden.

One minister said the two-metre rule was particularly hard to observe while maintaining health and safety practices in certain outdoor workspaces such as oil rigs and offshore construction.

“There has got to be common sense,” he said. “If someone’s fallen over, and you need to pick them up, you can’t say it’s a two-metre distance rule.”

Officials from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy are also understood this week to have raised the issue of whether the two-metre rule could be relaxed in talks with the hospitality sector this week.

Last Tuesday, Sage said the two-metre rule “remains appropriate” but ministers have asked the committee to look again at the measures.

Next week, Sage will publish a paper looking in detail at transmission in the environment which is expected to say that people are far more likely to pick up coronavirus from surfaces than through droplets in the air.

A senior source in No 10 confirmed that the two-metre rule had been looked at by Sage. However, the source said amending it was a “non-starter”.

Prof Robert Dingwall, who sits on the Government’s scientific advisory body New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group, which feeds into Sage, said it “made sense” to reduce the distancing rule to 1.5 metres, bringing it into line with nations such as Germany and Australia.

Robert Dingwall said it made sense to relax the rule

“Standing in line two metres apart outside supermarkets does not make a lot of sense,” Prof Dingwall said.

“The two-metre rule does not have validity and has never had much of an evidence base. I’ve tried to trace it myself.

"There is a fairly solid evidence base for a transmission rate if indoors and within one metre of someone with a respiratory infection for 15 minutes, but that time detail has been lost somewhere along the way.

“It is extraordinarily unlikely that any transmission will occur in the few seconds you are standing next to someone as you both reach for the instant coffee.

“It means that people are worrying unnecessarily when a jogger brushes past them in the park, for example, when transient contact is not an issue.”

Some experts believe there is no airborne transmission outdoors at all, as larger droplets carrying the infection get caught on clothes or fall to the ground before they can be inhaled.

Businesses are also concerned that attempting to reopen under the current social distancing strategy would require huge disruption.

Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, also said a lower social distancing rule would be welcomed, although she warned that pubs would not survive without further support.

“We will always take heed of government guidance on social distancing but any reduction in social distancing requirements will increase the usable space in pubs,” she said.

However, Colin Stanbridge, former chief executive of the London Chamber of Commerce, said the Government could be accused of sending mixed messages if it changed the rules and said it would just cause confusion.

“I can’t see that half a metre here or there would make much difference,” he said.

“The problem is much deeper than that. Can a business operate successfully if it only has half its tables out?”

At Friday's press briefing, Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said 18,000 contact tracers would be in place by mid-May, suggesting that the Government may be thinking of lifting some restrictions this month.

All this news of relaxing restrictions makes sense. But here in Ontario Canada, they are increasing restrictions. On May 4th, it will be a requirement to wear a mask to gain entrance into Costco. Would it not have made sense to put this into place a month ago rather than now when the number of new cases are falling?

A hardware store has just recently closed its doors and is requesting that you pho e in orders so they can put them outside for you to pick them up. I was in that store last week and everything seemed just fine.

People here are getting more stressed out as it seems many are falling prey to fear. People were heard today getting verbally angry with people who appeared to freak the 2 meter social distancing rule - and this was I side a grocery store where keepi g a distance of 2 meters is impossible in some places.

The world is upside down - and I think that while it is upside down it should be given a shake so that the bad pieces fall off!

I'll try again but man the last version was the bomb - alas, lost in limbo. Will remember to save a copy this time. Apologies in advance for the lackluster second attempt.

Sophistication is absolutely predicated upon its fundamental premise. So perhaps a simplistic look at genetics might be appropriate here. Remember, this is not me talking, this is the scientific establishment's take on the subject...

- Every living cell has a nucleus in which is located the vaunted DNA molecule.

- DNA is a complete linear set of code that contains all the information needed to replicate a living organism.

- Each set of DNA is a composite of two genetic lines of code - one from the mother and one from the father. Asexual reproduction is left out for simplicity's sake.

- In order to use the code, the cell must first unpack it. This is the most amazing marvel of genetics! The DNA is carefully pulled straight and unzipped along the long axis between mother and father's code. This is billions of lines of code, by the way, that must be unpacked and unzipped exactly right with no mistakes!

- When the two strands of genetic material have been separated, it is considered to be RNA. The difference being the prefix only...Dioxyribonucleic or Ribonucleic acid.

- Once the DNA molecule has been unpacked and unzipped, the RNA molecule can be copied. This is called transcription, a very precise lock-step procedure.

- Only RNA can be transcribed.

- In most cases, except for cell replication, only a small portion of the code is required for whatever the cell is working on at the time. A very complicated and as yet not well understood method searches along the strand of RNA code for a marker that tells it where to start copying. Another molecule searches for the end of that particular bit of code. When the markers have denoted the part to be copied the snippet is copied.

- That snippet of code is essentially a virus!

Did you know that? Well, it is the fundamentals under which current research operates. Just in what has been shown here it is quite obvious there are some high level mysteries that make this discipline not so simplistic. And if the wrong assumptions are made, vaccinations and other dangerous therapies will result.

Have a think about it. I know almost nothing but I know that amount about almost everything. I know the simple. Because I know even that is subject to debate. Also, I know that the minds that have given us our science were very much ignorant and biased, so can only be trusted with observations, empirical science, not with conclusions and assumptions, theoretical science. This is because to have vaulted to the tops of their fields in those archaic times, one had to accept the current, almost always incorrect, world view of their peers. They had blinders on folks, it wasn't their fault but their heads were filled with nonsense.

Do you know the basics? If not, what do you base your beliefs on - second-hand knowledge? And the person you do believe, how are they an authority if they cannot see beyond their own bias and that of their peers?

Half of what I see about this stuff is like a non-update because there never was anything there.

On a local basis we have been given a new widget which "tells all" about congregated living centers, mainly nursing homes. So, if you wondered how much of it was on the staff, about a quarter, something like 25-75 at several locations, so once it adds up, then you have quite a fair amount of staff positive.

They have one death at nursing homes and two if we include a type of detention center.

I mean, these are the people working in the middle of death of all death, and they caught death, and seem to have kept going. That is about as one-sided as anything could be, there is not exactly a shortage of residents dying.

There is also a chart showing how extra fatal it is to black people in every area reported. That one is significant, but when we look at all the staff, that must also have a lot of black people, and they survived. But most of them are relatively healthy to begin with. So it probably means old black people. It doesn't say that, but, it appears there is almost no way they cannot go together.

It does not seem to be any kind of twisted view that, currently, the cash that is being flung around is mostly to the Republican Party, while the deaths are disproportionally old black people.

Meanwhile, the first protestors got in a standoff with the police over a...sidewalk...and were arrested, leading to the fracturing of the group. They are now being out-performed by the armed group who likes to show how peaceful they really are.

Commuter temperature checks under consideration in lockdown easing plans

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/commuter-temperature-checks-under-consideration-230130443.html

Commuters could be asked to check their temperature at home before travelling under plans to ease the coronavirus lockdown being considered by the Government.

The Prime Minister will next week set out a “road map” detailing how people might get to work and how children can go back to school or into childcare.

Boris Johnson has said he wants to “get our economy moving” but there are concerns that the return to work could see the virus spread on public transport.

The Times reported that commuters could be asked to take their temperature before travelling, and those with an elevated reading – a symptom of Covid-19 – would be expected to stay at home.

A senior Government source confirmed the plans are being looked at but stressed they are a “long way” from being policy.

It comes after Health Secretary Matt Hancock said his target for 100,000 Covid-19 tests per day had been met, which he hailed as an “incredible achievement”.

The number of people who have died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 5pm on Thursday rose to 27,510.

Speaking at the daily Downing Street press briefing, Mr Hancock said 122,347 tests were performed in the 24 hours up to 9am on Friday, adding that testing would help “unlock” the UK’s lockdown.

But questions have been raised over how the tests have been counted, with changes in the last few days meaning newer home test kits have been counted as they are dispatched.

The overall total also includes tests dispatched to “satellite testing locations” – such as hospitals that have a particularly urgent need – but does not detail whether the tests have actually been used.

When he set the target, Mr Hancock said the UK “will carry out” 100,000 tests every day by the end of April.

Elsewhere:

– The Sun reported that the PM wants to implement his plan to restart the economy on May 26, while the paper said the Premier League could return on June 12.

– Leo Varadkar said Ireland will begin its journey to a new normal after a further two weeks of the current restrictions.

– A potential treatment for Covid-19 using plasma from recovered patients is to be trialled by doctors at London’s Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital.

– New data from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre suggested more than 70% of patients with coronavirus admitted to critical care are men.

– Fertility services will be allowed to reopen after treatment was stopped due to Covid-19, bringing hope to couples trying for a baby, the Health Secretary confirmed.

– Office for National Statistics analysis found that people living in the most deprived areas of England have experienced coronavirus mortality rates more than double those living in the least deprived areas.

The Government’s national testing co-ordinator, Professor John Newton, told reporters there had been “no change” to the methodology but said advice had been sought on counting as “new ways of delivering tests” were brought in.

He said some 27,497 kits sent out to homes were included in the total alongside 12,872 tests delivered to satellite locations.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Prof Newton insisted “whichever way” the results are counted, the 100,000 target would have been met.

He said: “All the tests are only counted once, and you can count tests when they go out or when they come back in, and whichever way you do it we still meet the target.”

Guidance on the Government website appears to have changed on April 28 to include wording saying home tests and satellite tests were being included.

Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said “many would have expected the 100,000 promise to have been met by actually carrying out testing, not simply because 39,000 kits had been mailed out”.

Meanwhile, queues have built up outside rubbish tips as they reopened for the first time since lockdown.

Local Government Secretary Robert Jenrick has said councils should be confident to reopen tips “as soon as possible”, although there have been warnings that protective equipment for waste workers and proper social distancing should be in place.

Greater Manchester Combined Authority reopened some of its household waste recycling centres on Saturday, with restrictions and social distancing measures in place.

At the waste centre on Reliance Street in Manchester, a queue of cars was already waiting by 7.30am, half an hour before it was scheduled to open.

Maryland's GOP governor deploys National Guard to protect COVID-19 tests from being seized by feds (https://www.salon.com/2020/05/01/marylands-gop-governor-deploys-national-guard-to-protect-covid-19-tests-from-being-seized-by-feds/)

Governors of both parties have complained of the Trump administration seizing personal protective equipment
IGOR DERYSH
MAY 1, 2020 6:19PM (UTC)

National Guard troops were protecting a shipment of COVID-19 tests Maryland ordered from South Korea from being seized by the feds Thursday, Gov. Larry Hogan, R-Md., said.

"The National Guard and the state police are both guarding these tests at an undisclosed location," the Republican governor told The Washington Post.

Hogan said the decision was motivated by reports from other governors who revealed that the Trump administration had seized supplies they purchased.

"There had been reports of — for example in Massachusetts, Governor Charlie Baker told the story of his planeload coming in getting confiscated by the federal government," Hogan said.

Baker, a fellow Republican, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) seized an order of 3 million masks at the port of New York, after which he had to rely on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft to bring in supplies on the team's private plane.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, told CNN that FEMA "swept up" an order of 500 ventilators purchased by the state. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, also a Democrat, kept a shipment of protective equipment from China secret to prevent the state from suffering a similar fate.

The chief physician at the Veterans Health Administration told The Washington Post earlier this week that FEMA had redirected a shipment of 5 million masks so it could replenish the national stockpile.

A hospital official in Massachusetts wrote in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine that he was forced to smuggle equipment in food trucks in order to avoid a seizure.

A FEMA spokesperson told Salon in a statement earlier this week that it "does not" and "has not" diverted shipments of personal protective equipment, but the agency did not respond when asked why the governors said it had.

Hogan ordered the tests from South Korea with the help of his wife, who was born in the country, after complaining that the Trump administration had left states to figure out their own testing supply.

"States have been competing on the open market and the domestic market and the international market . . . throughout this entire crisis. Competing with each other and the federal government," Hogan told MSNBC last week. "I'm not sure it should have been that way, but that's the way it is — it's the way the president said it had to be, so that's what we were operating under."

Trump groused about the move at a recent White House news briefing, arguing that Hogan "could've called [Vice President] Mike Pence, could've saved a lot of money."

"If there were an easier way, we certainly would have taken it," Hogan told MSNBC. "The president said the governors are on their own and they should focus on getting their own tests, and that's exactly what we did. His message changed yesterday. I'm not sure why."

Hogan said on Thursday that the state had worked for weeks to secure the tests.

"We spent about 22 days and nights dealing with this whole transaction with Korea. We dealt with the Korean embassy, folks at the State Department, and our scientists on both sides trying to figure out these tests," he said. "And then at the last moment — I think 24 hours before — we got the sign-off from the FDA and Border and Customs to try to make sure that we landed this plane safely."

The plane was met "with a large contingent of Maryland National Guard and Maryland state police, because this was an enormously valuable payload," he added. "It was like Fort Knox to us, because it's going to save the lives of thousands of our citizens."

In spite of obvious bias in this article, it does raise some flags. Why are the feds going around seizing medical shipments? I have to yet to hear one good (i.e. justifiable or non-malicious) reason.

I still don't get it...how, exactly, does a test save any lives? Are these particularly useful for anything, other than a very sick person who "may" get an option of something more than standard flu treatment?

I suppose the feds seize them because they can; if it is crossing a border, then they can probably apply thousands of excuses or reasons, the only answer being the state's guard. The fed cannot justify its existence.

But yeah...a month and a half after some virulent outbreak...some tests and masks. Why bother? A show of nothing?

I can understand some extra sanitation and quarantine of the sick, or if they had dispersed nursing home populations, that would have been a really good idea, but the only thing that can really save you is your immune system--which is preferred to be kept professionally scrubbed to nothing. I am not sure anyone knows how to free all of your hemoglobin once it has been locked by disease.

There's a couple things I see. First, regarding the tests, agreed, a test doesn't save lives. And really, that's more of the bias of the article and the governor speaking. That part's really just static, IMO.

The biggest thing is that this is just the latest in what seems to be a long (relative to current events) history. The feds have been seizing medical supplies for at least a month now.

Hospitals say feds are seizing masks and other coronavirus supplies without a word (https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-04-07/hospitals-washington-seize-coronavirus-supplies) from April 7, 2020

Although President Trump has directed states and hospitals to secure what supplies they can, the federal government is quietly seizing orders, leaving medical providers across the country in the dark about where the material is going and how they can get what they need to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

Hospital and clinic officials in seven states described the seizures in interviews over the past week. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is not publicly reporting the acquisitions, despite the outlay of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, nor has the administration detailed how it decides which supplies to seize and where to reroute them.

A 'War' For Medical Supplies: States Say FEMA Wins By Poaching Orders (https://www.npr.org/2020/04/15/835308133/governors-say-fema-is-outbidding-redirecting-or-poaching-their-medical-supply-or) from April 15, 2020

As the number of coronavirus cases surged in Massachusetts, nurses at a hospital in Milford were desperate. They held up cardboard signs outside the hospital asking for donations of protective gear to wear while treating infected patients.

William Touhey Jr. thought he could help. Touhey is the fire chief and emergency management director in this small town outside of Boston. He did some legwork, and placed an order for 30,000 protective gowns from overseas.

"We were hearing good things that it was coming," Touhey said.

Then he got a phone call from the distributor last week.

"The order had been redirected, as they put it, from us to FEMA," Touhey said. "It's just the way times are right now, where everybody's fighting for a very limited supply of material."

State and local officials are caught up in a fierce global competition for masks, gowns, ventilators and other medical supplies. The White House has told them not to rely on the federal government because it's just a "backup," and to find their own gear.

At the same time, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is keeping a tight grip on critical medical supplies leaving the country – and coming in from overseas. This new system is disrupting an emergency supply chain that's been in place for decades.

And now governors, hospitals and local officials say the federal government is big-footing them by poaching the supplies they ordered.

"We had a good lead with a manufacturer on vents, and they got swept up by FEMA, so we're not getting them," Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, in an interview with CNN this month.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, a Republican, says his state placed an order for millions of N-95 respirator masks — but never got them. "We had our 3 million masks that we had ordered ... confiscated in the port in New York," Baker said at a press conference this month.

After federal officials took those masks, Baker says Massachusetts scrambled to arrange a new shipment from China. But this time, state officials used a private plane that belongs to the New England Patriots.

So where did that first order of masks end up?

"I don't have any specific information on that," said Captain W. Russell Webster, who is in charge of FEMA's coronavirus response in New England, in an interview with member station WBUR.

While he can't explain what happened to those masks, Webster said that FEMA is distributing critical medical supplies from the national stockpile based on need.

"There is a priority of distribution based on health care workers and other first-line people involved in the COVID-19 response," Webster said.

But state and local officials say they're baffled. They don't understand how distribution decisions are made. And they don't understand why FEMA is taking some of the supplies they'd already ordered.

We asked FEMA headquarters in Washington about that. In a written statement, a spokesman said FEMA does not seize or commandeer supplies that are already inside the United States. But the spokesman said that a supplier might decide to "cancel on a state contract in favor of [a] federal one."

"FEMA rightfully can say we didn't grab it from them. We just simply outbid them," said Juliette Kayyem, who teaches at the Harvard Kennedy School. "And that's clearly what's happening."

During the Obama administration, Kayyem was an assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, where it was her job to coordinate the federal and local response to disasters. She's also baffled by the Trump administration's coronavirus response.

"This White House thinks everyone before them was stupid," Kayyem said.

Until now, Kayyem says, the playbook has been that federal, state and local officials should all be pulling in the same direction. But not anymore.

"For decades, we have worked disasters the same way. The locals execute, the states coordinate and the feds support," Kayyem said. "The federal government under Donald Trump has decided it is going to essentially go to war, create a parallel response apparatus, and it's winning. That's the problem."

The federal government is winning the chaotic competition for scarce protective equipment, Kayyem says, and in the process it's driving up the price of those supplies for everybody. And leaving states and hospitals even more desperate to find what they need.

So this is something that's been going on. Chris Martenson pointed it out a while back, too, but I'm not sure which one it was. We're not just talking about tests. We're talking masks, and gowns, and various other PPE, and thermometers... and tests. The feds have given no reason for seizing any shipments, and in fact, according to the Apr 15 article from NPR, do not do that. But states and hospitals are saying otherwise.

All that is basically context. What got me is that it sounds like we've now arrived at the point where the states are using their National Guard and state police to guard and hide their shipments...from the feds!

The UK has gone this far with racial profiling in the Mail:

Covid death rate in Black African Britons three times white British population
Deaths in Pakistanis 2.7 times higher, for Black Caribbeans it is 1.8 times greater

The U. S. is "pressuring" Mexico Mexico (https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-04-30/as-more-workers-die-from-covid-19-the-u-s-is-pressuring-mexico-to-re-open-border-factories) to re-open, although one of the main reasons is that it closed is that people walked out of work from factories after co-workers died.

Coronavirus: One of the UK’s richest men launches legal challenge over lockdown
Yahoo News UK Jimmy Nsubuga,Yahoo News UK

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-lockdown-simon-dolan-court-judicial-review-183107124.html

A businessman worth £142 million is launching a legal challenge against the government over the coronavirus lockdown.

Simon Dolan, 50, who owns Jota Aviation, intends to go forward with a judicial review if some of the restrictions are not eased.

He described the measures as ‘draconian’, bad for the economy and likely to cause more deaths than save lives.

Dolan, from Essex, said: “Too many people are losing their jobs; people can’t get cancer treatment, there is suicide, domestic violence. Why are we prevaricating?

“It’s like the government is now keeping this going to justify their original decision, whereas what they should do is say we did this and now we are doing something different.”

Dolan stressed he did not want to make things even more chaotic during the pandemic but he was eager for the public to choose if they wanted to self-isolate or not.

His lawyer Michael Gardner, who has delivered a “Letter Before Action”, has given a deadline of Thursday for a satisfactory response or he will request an urgent court hearing.
Latest coronavirus news, updates and advice

Dolan, who claims to not support any political party, added: “The lockdown is telling us to stop living to avoid dying.

“To imprison people in their homes is an extremely dramatic decision to make.

“It is unprecedented and it would have been a brave Boris to say ‘no, we are not going to do that’, but it has gone on too long now, and we need to lift it or loosen it.”

Dolan is also requesting minutes from meetings from scientific advice group Sage since the pandemic began.

He added a crowdfunding page was only set up to raise money if the action became prolonged and said it was already funded to the court stage.

Dolan said crowdfunding would also test the support of people for the action depending on how much they contributed.

Boris Johnson said on Thursday Britain was now past the peak of its coronavirus outbreak and promised to set out a plan next week on how the country might start gradually easing restrictions.

Dolan’s court action is similar to that taken by Gina Miller over Boris Johnson’s decision to prorogue Parliament last year.

Britons will suffer health problems from Covid-19 for years, warn doctors
The Guardian Robin McKie,The Guardian

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/britons-suffer-health-problems-covid-141625362.html

Many people in Britain are likely to suffer from physical and mental problems for several years after the Covid-19 epidemic has subsided. That is the grim message from doctors and psychologists who last week warned that even after lockdown measures had been lifted thousands of individuals would still be suffering.

Some of these problems will be due directly to the impact that the virus has had on those it has infected, especially those who went through life-saving interventions in intensive care units (ICUs) in hospital. In addition there will be a considerable impact on vulnerable people affected by the lockdown and isolation.

As a result, there is a danger our society could become more anxious and risk-averse, say scientists who have called for a range of research programmes to be launched to understand the issues and to allow society to prepare itself for the physiological and psychological problems that lie ahead.

“This has been a national trauma like no other that we have experienced,” said psychologist Professor Dame Til Wykes, of King’s College London. “Consider the terrible flooding we had earlier this year. People watched river levels rise and listened to weather forecasts to find out if they might be inundated the next day or the day after. That was stressful.

“But it was nothing compared to this threat which has hung over us for weeks already and is likely to go on for much longer. Spending months looking over your shoulder all the time is going to cause considerable, lasting anxiety for many people. In addition, if you look at other natural disasters, you can usually find help or comfort from people around you. However, it is the people around you that are the threat in this case. So there is no consolation there.”

Many who were treated in ICUs for Sars and Mers had post-traumatic stress disorders months, sometimes years, after the event Prof Rory O'Connor

This point was backed by Rory O’Connor, professor of health psychology at Glasgow University. “Increased social isolation, loneliness, health anxiety, stress and an economic downturn are a perfect storm to harm people’s mental health,” he said.

“If we do nothing, we risk seeing an increase in mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, and a rise in problem behaviours such as alcohol and drug addiction, gambling, cyberbullying or social consequences such as homelessness and relationship breakdown.”

These are problems that face society in general. For those struck down by Covid-19 and who have been treated in ICUs, there are likely to be further issues, researchers have warned. These problems have been revealed in studies of those who contracted two other diseases caused by coronaviruses – severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers) – and who also required intensive care in hospitals.

“Being in an ICU can be a horrible experience,” said Wykes. “Studies from those who were treated in ICUs for Sars and Mers reveal that many had post-traumatic stress disorders months, sometimes years, after the event, especially if they were put on ventilators. That can induce panic on its own. Later you get flashbacks, extreme anxiety – particularly about your family and your partner.”

In one study by Hong Kong University researchers of people who had contracted Sars, it was found that those who survived the disease still had, a year later, elevated stress levels and “worrying levels of psychological distress”. They also showed alarming levels of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic symptoms. “There is every reason to expect to see the same sorts of symptoms appearing in those directly affected by Covid-19,” added Wykes.

In addition to the psychological impact of the disease, it is also clear that lingering physiological problems are likely to be associated with Covid-19. “No one knows exactly what the disease will do in the long term to patients but we do know what impacts other forms of viral pneumonia – which Covid-19 can trigger – can have on patients,” said Professor Ian Hall of Nottingham University.

With these conditions, many patients suffer from significant lung scarring and are affected by a condition known as advanced respiratory distress syndrome which can require months of recovery. “There is some initial evidence to suggest that for Covid-19 patients, it may take even longer,” he said.

Hall added that there was likely to be impacts on other parts of the body. “For example, Covid-19 can cause serious inflammation that affects patients in the early stages of dementia and can leave them increasingly confused and stressed.”

Cardiologist Professor Tim Chico at Sheffield University also pointed to studies indicating that people hospitalised with Covid-19 were also at risk from blood clots in multiple locations, including their lungs, veins and brain. “Crucially, the risk of blood clots with Covid-19 appears to be even greater than the increased risk of blood clots seen in other severe illnesses,” he said. Such an effect would leave patients vulnerable to pulmonary embolisms, strokes and deep vein thrombosis.

Commenting on the above post
I wonder if those who suffer blood clots etc-- strokes pointed to in that article lived near 5G towers.
That would explain why most get a mild case of this "virus" and recover fully and others get extreme reaction, including death in relativly healthy young people.
Young people are also heavily into mobiles-- they seem to be stuck to the ear metaphorically.

Basically those with compromised immune system are much more likely to be severely affected by flu, cold, virus.
So what compromises the immune system and what strengthens it.
Lockdown weakens, it fear weakens it, polluted atmosphere weakens it.
A sense of freedom strengthens it, good environment strengthens it, exposure to germs the cold the flu the virus strengthens it.
Meditation etc takes away fear and thus strengthens it.
Thats basically it.

Beside a flood of serious, nasty side effects, the MSM boasted Remdesivir is a dud:

"Remdesivir Is Probably Worthless" - A Trauma Surgeon Exposes "Drug Company's Shenanigans" (https://www.zerohedge.com/health/remdesivir-probably-worthless-trauma-surgeon-exposes-drug-companys-shenanigans)

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/styles/thumbnail/public/pictures/picture-5.jpg?itok=LY4e264- (https://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden) by Tyler Durden (https://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden)
Sat, 05/02/2020 - 20:55

Markets got very excited (briefly) this week about a study finding a Gilead Sciences drug helped coronavirus patients heal a little more quickly.

But that was all the trial found: remdesivir isn’t the miracle cure that will get us all out of lockdowns tomorrow, unfortunately.

Worse, as Bloomberg's Faye Flam writes, the trial was rushed to get quick FDA approval (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-05-01/coronavirus-gilead-s-remdesivir-trial-missed-a-huge-opportunity?srnd=opinion&sref=ZtdQlmKR), without getting helpful information on what kinds of patients it helps or hurts the most; and now that the study is over, we’ve forever lost a chance to help doctors treat virus patients better.

All of which raises a significant number of questions and Acute Care Surgeon (and Asst Professor of Surgery at Wash U.) Mark Hoofnagle (https://twitter.com/MarkHoofnagle) warns
"I am truly sorry to say, Remdesivir is probably worthless..."
In an excellent Twitter thread, Hoofnagle details what he calls "some fascinating drug company shenanigans."

First, the pre-test probability that an infused, small-molecule inhibitor of a virus would improve mortality in symptomatic patients was already pretty low. Unfortunately, antivirals work poorly in acute disease. This has to do with their mechanism of action, and host response.

Antivirals usually target some aspect of viral replication/assembly/transmission. Remdesivir is a clever pharmacologic prodrug that inhibits a key piece of RNA viruses that mammals don’t have - the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and inhibits viral replication.

Unfortunately, by the time you are symptomatic with a virus, you are usually already high/peak viral load. So, when you give an antiviral to someone who is already ill, the damage from the virus is largely done.

It’s there in big numbers and in the cells.

Consistent with this, the Lancet paper on the remdesivir trial in China shows no impact on viral load clinically. (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31022-9/fulltext)
https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/inline-images/EW8RfKuXgAE5GDw.jpg
Pick your metaphor. The cat is out of the bag. The damage is done. At this point the host response to virus is activated, and your body is suppressing replication through a variety of mechanisms (which also make you feel terrible).

So how could inhibiting RDRP after the fact help? The answer is, it probably doesnt. It certainly didn’t in this trial - no difference, not even a trend in mortality, but in subgroup analysis maybe shortened disease duration in early/mild disease.

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com/s3fs-public/inline-images/2020-05-02_10-20-27.jpg (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31022-9/fulltext)
Now, critics of stupid drugs that should never have been stockpiled by govts say, “sounds like Tamiflu!”

Yes. This is the same as Tamiflu, which also maybe shortens flu by a day, but otherwise is a largely useless antiviral (and actually harmful with bad side effect profile).

Fortunately, side effects of remdesivir did not seem severe in this trial with only about 3x as many patients stopping than placebo, some rashes, nothing life threatening.

Where do the Shenanigans come in?

Well, remember how maybe this Chinese trial showed a shortened course in a subset of patients? Like tamiflu? But didn’t change mortality?

Well a month ago the NIAID trial changed their endpoints to remove death and instead look at dz duration.

No really.

They changed the destination half way through the race to match the only positive outcome of another trial, that they (or Gilead at least) certainly had a copy of the paper once it was submitted to Lancet.

Shenanigans! Get a broom!

Since NIH remdesivir trial is in the news...

was there an explanation about why the primary outcome (now positive) was changed last month to 'time until clinical recovery?' @matthewherper (https://twitter.com/matthewherper) https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT04280705?A=10&B=16&C=Side-by-Side#StudyPageTop … (https://t.co/fCTc1EGI1d)
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWy4m7MXYAEQToO?format=png&name=small (https://twitter.com/walidgellad/status/1255581527972417536/photo/1)9:35 PM - Apr 29, 2020 (https://twitter.com/walidgellad/status/1255581527972417536)This is like declaring a race and then when you realize you’re not going to win, declaring the destination was actually wherever you are standing at the moment.

Then, even more fishy, *the same day* as this Lancet trial is release, Gilead and NIAID claim a “positive trial” and they’ve “shortened the course of the disease significantly”. Notably, the mortality benefit did not reach significance.

By the end of the day, reports that FDA is going to emergently approve remdesivir for treatment of COVID.

Gilead gets what they want. No one will want to be in a control arm in further trials and they will argue all future trials must be non-inferiority.

Before we have the answer whether this drug actually changes anyone’s destiny, it’s going to become the gold standard therapy. We will likely now never know if (the unlikely possibility) it changes mortality.

Absolute genius. You have to salute them. On the day a negative trial of their drug is reported, based on a press release they took over the news cycle, and with some midstream edits to their endpoints their now “positive” trial wins them FDA approval and a halted trial.

It’s an infusion, once symptomatic, you need an admission, a test, etc., really even symptoms are probably too late a goal for such a therapy to work. Prophylaxis (like Gilead’s Truvada/PreP) would be better - but unworkable in its current form.

Either way, a big win for Gilead, but I’m unimpressed with any if the evidence presented so far that this is a game changer.

THEY ARE IMPLEMENTING THEIR FINAL PLAN, RIGHT NOW
5/3/20
reviewed by Alexandra Bruce of Forbidden Knowledge
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/they-are-implementing-their-final-plan-right-now/

"The NWO is pulling out all the stops all over the world. They want you to shelter in place and go bankrupt while they prepare a vaccine for you and your family.

Crow777 joins Sean from the SGT Report, who says, “Everybody knew this was coming. We’re here. Here it is. You can call it whatever you want but it’s tyranny and it’s tyranny for the whole enchilada: The entire world.”

• Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot threatened to throw people in jail if they throw a party.

• Oregon Governor, Kate Brown (little sister of Governor Moonbeam) has extended the State of Emergency to July 6th. Kate has ties to the Clinton Foundation, she was involved in Uranium One and the decision to kill LaVoy Finicum during the Malheur Park standoff.

• Soros puppet, Gretchen Whitmer extended her stay-at-home orders amid major protests, causing Trump to tweet, “The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.” The good news is that the Michigan House and Senate plan to sue her.

• Globalist slave, Justin Trudeau banned 1,500 models of “assault rifles” in Canada.

• In Spain, the people have been on lockdown for over 6 weeks. All “non-essential” work has been shuttered by the government. Closed businesses are dying. Unless your work is deemed “essential”, you are only allowed out of your home, one person at a time to buy food or medicine. People are stopped by police and be asked for their receipts. People are fined $2,000 for talking to someone outside of the house, even with social distancing. (In Toronto, that fine is $5,000).

In Spain, the rules are getting stricter and the fines are getting higher by the day. Anyone who is under 18 is not allowed out, at all. Children have been locked in apartments for two months and police brutality has spiked. People call police when they look outside and see people on the street. The police arrive in a group and beat the person up. People on balconies clap.

The government keeps on promising fast release if everyone behaves but the day of prison release keeps getting pushed further and further out. It’s impossible now for people to to get together and protest.

Spain almost sounds like Michigan.

As Crow777, says, “To address the scale of what’s going on here, this is bigger than anything we have a historical reference for. This is touching more of the world than World War II did. If you want to go back to the stock market crash, that didn’t affect as much of the world as this is…

“But there is some good news. I was sent video twice today from people on the streets of Italy. There are big protests going on there and you’re not going to catch it on Fox and CNN and MSNBC, because they are at the enemy and they’re not going to tell you the truth.

“There were huge protests going on in California. Things are going on all over. You’ll just not hear about it and this is part of the information war. This is war in the modern era. We don’t use bullets and bombs in the modern era, because people have started to grow up too much for that kind of thing…This is an information war, where you control the information for those who don’t know any better than to turn off the damn television, because that is your worst enemy – and always has been since its inception. Use other sources to get information.

“You’re going to feel hopeless. You’re going to feel beat-down, because that information has been designed to do exactly that: to beat you down to the ground.

“But I would remind you: anyone who grew up in the United States of America, when I came up, we were told this was the home of the free and the brave. If we deserve that title, we’re gonna probably have to show it pretty quickly. If we can do it like adults, that would be great, because I suspect that the next thing coming is they’re starting to mess with the food supply chains.

“We saw this coming. Almost like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first one is getting people sick second one is famine. You can see the games that get played.

“My point here is we’re in the majority, here and we have the right to demand a decent life. Hopefully, people won’t lose order to do that because I suspect if people lose order, an iron-fisted response will be right behind it…

“This is being pushed to a head. I think it’s going to come to a head and I think that’s part of the plan but if people conduct themselves like adults and just simply protest in an adult manner, I think that’s a critical thing to think about, because we’ve seen [the amount] of assets they’ve mobilized and we’ve seen that, regardless of what the presidents have sworn an oath to, nobody’s following the Constitution, which is a bit ironic, because the Constitution, if it was ever reinstated in a meaningful way, would collapse so much – even the Department of Homeland Security – it’s Unconstitutional…

“The Constitution has to totally go away for all this to work out in the direction we see it traveling. Will people let it?

“It’s pretty clear we’re looking at the largest coup d’état that the world has ever seen and it’s everything – all of it. Not just the enchilada – the restaurant that makes it, the factory that made the ingredients, the supply chain – everything, everywhere is what [they’re] going for, here.

“If they get their way, the people living best in the world will be in the middle of Africa, somewhere where they’re too remote to be messed with. That’s how bad it could get.

“Within a week of March 11, how was it that the Michigan Legislature had a pandemic budget approved in June of 2019? How are these things? I think we all know how these things are but what people need to keep foremost in their mind is there are many millions of people thinking exactly what you are thinking right now, so don’t be fooled that you’re all alone and that they’ve got you cornered and to lose your humanity and become one of those people who will rat out a neighbor, as if this was 1984 and your name was Winston.

“Come on we’ve grown past that. Now, there’s a lot of people who are fed up to their eyeballs so don’t don’t be fooled by the controlled information.

“And lastly, every one of us knows what right and wrong is. Nobody has to tell you what right and wrong is and I would just make this statement, ‘What good are rights if you’re going to accept wrongs?’ and that’s a critical thing to think about. I won’t be accepting wrongs and I will look out for the people around me and I will stand up to death if I have to for the things that I feel are right. I think it’s really that simple. And above all, act like an adult, don’t lose order.

“What’s going on here is a bid for a world takeover but each of us has freedom of choice. The divine spark of God in each of us. With that comes freedom of choice. Anyone who forcibly takes your freedom of choice is violating Universal Law and that’s why we see these games, to convince you to give up your own freedom to choose.

“And I’m here to tell you, if you give up your freedom to choose, then you never deserved it in the first damn place.

“If you can just remember that you’re carrying the divine spark, that this world was made for you and human beings as a whole are in charge of this place – keep in mind you were given freedom of choice and the divine spark – and you need to defend those things with everything you have.

“Just buck up, people. This is happening. What’s going on is happening. We’re going to get a reset but every time there’s a reset possibilities remain.

“Could be that a lot of the things we didn’t like about before could be started in a different direction. Don’t lose hope. Don’t let the damned controlled message make you believe that you’re all alone in this world, because let me tell you something, there are endless people thinking the same thing you’re thinking right now – and I’m one of them.

“I want to wish you all well. Take care of all the fellow human beings around you.” "

A "long time ago", Sweden already said 1/3 of its nursing homes were hit.

In U. S. prisons (https://en.farsnews.ir/newstext.aspx?nn=13990214000564), it is like this:

"The federal Bureau of Prisons, which has 152,000 inmates and 36,000 staff, found outbreaks in more than half of its 122 facilities.

On Thursday alone the bureau reported three deaths at the low security Terminal Island prison near Los Angeles, where some 60 percent of the roughly 1,050 inmate population has registered positive.

CoreCivic, a private company which operates dozens of prisons nationwide, tested all the 2,725 inmates and staff at its Trousdale Turner facility in Tennessee, and found 1,299 inmates and 50 staff positive, nearly all without symptoms."

It is in more than half of the prisons, and we're going to do some tests and slow the spread??

Over 1,300 positives--half of a facility--have no symptoms.

This is already everywhere, bothers almost nobody, is unlikely to have come from China, and they think they can sue Beijing?

With all these various reactions, it still seems evident to me that everyone is really not "one", but is poised behind a thin veneer ready to attack or repress everyone else, to a significant extent. I can defend our yard, but, I cannot do much about millions of others who like to exploit and make all the decisions.

Government is using daily coronavirus death toll as a 'propaganda tool', claims expert
Yahoo News UK Victoria Bell,Yahoo News UK

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/government-daily-coronavirus-death-toll-propaganda-tool-191559556.html

Downing Street’s publication of the daily COVID-19 death toll and testing counts is a “propaganda tool” because the data “is unreliable when reported daily”, an expert has claimed.

Professor Allyson Pollock, the director of Newcastle University’s centre for excellence in regulatory science, said coronavirus has “shone a spotlight on the widening inequalities” in Britain and called for the government to revisit its public sector policies.

Her comments came during the first session of a shadow version of the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which was formed amid calls for greater transparency and concerns about political interference in advice to the government.

Sir David King, a former government chief scientific adviser who has been vocal in his criticism of No. 10’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, has assembled the Independent Sage of experts to look at how the UK could work its way out of the coronavirus lockdown.

Pollock criticised austerity cuts to public services and local authorities and said that the lockdown was showing the growing and widening inequalities.

She said: “Forty per cent of our children living below the poverty line. Children are particularly affected by the lockdown.

“We know that the lockdown has had collateral damage on older people, vulnerable groups, children with learning difficulties and people with disabilities and we only see the tip of the iceberg in the excess deaths.

“I do see it as a great pity that the government used the daily death toll and the death counts and testing counts as a propaganda tool because these data are unreliable when reported, they're inaccurate and they're underreporting the excess deaths.”

Pollock recommended that the Office for National Statistics (ONS) publish the statistics either once a week or once a fortnight, to combat the “incoherent” data sent out to the public.

“It's really important that the public understand that where the official statistics are gathered and how they can be misused by the government,” she said.

“The second point I want to relate to is what’s the collateral damage of COVID-19 on the NHS.

“We know we were told we were to protect the NHS but all of my life I was told that the NHS is there to protect me so this is an extraordinary position to put me into that I've got to protect the NHS and I've got to stay at home to save lives.

“The reason why we're in this position is because for 30 years we've had the decimation of public services and especially the NHS, with marketisation, privatisation, foundation trusts that now generate up to half their income to the private patients and a home diversion through the Private Finance Initiative.”

Pollock said the government needs to revisit its public sector policies with particular focus on mental health services, community health services and above all, the 400,000 people who are in nursing homes who “have been completely left outside of the system”.

FYI:

Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) is an Israeli government defense research institute specializing in biology, medicinal chemistry and environmental science. The institute's work is a closely guarded secret. It is located in Ness Ziona, south of Tel Aviv and [1] has approximately 350 employees, 150 of whom are scientists.

Israel’s IIBR Completes Development Phase of COVID-19 Antibody
By Hamodia StaffMonday, May 4, 2020

The Defense Ministry has announced that the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), a secretive unit that works under the Prime Minister’s Office, has completed the development phase of COVID-19 antibody or passive vaccine, and is now working to patent it and commence development in coordination with the Israeli Defense Ministry.

According to news reports by Times of Israel and Jerusalem Post, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett visited the Ness Ziona-based lab on Monday, where he was briefed by the research team about a breakthrough antibody that attacks and neutralizes the virus in the body.

“I am proud of the Biological Institute staff, who have made a major breakthrough,” Bennett said Monday. “The Jewish creativity and ingenuity brought about this amazing achievement.”

Last month, IIBR announced that it had begun testing its antibody-based vaccine prototype on rodents, and it is unclear if this development is connected to the one previously announced.

In addition, IIBR has been involved in plasma collection from people who have recovered from coronavirus with the hope that this might help research.

The Pseudo-Science Behind The Mysterious Assault On Hydroxychloroquine

I reviewed the scientific literature on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), azithromycin (AZ), and their use for COVID-19. My conclusions:

HCQ-based treatments are effective in treating COVID-19, unless started too late.

Studies, cited in opposition, have been misinterpreted, invalid, or worse.

HCQ and AZ are some of the most tested and safest prescription drugs.

Severe COVID-19 frequently causes cardiac effects, including heart arrhythmia. QTc prolonging drugs might amplify this tendency. Millions of people regularly take drugs having strong QTc prolongation effect, and neither FDA nor CDC bother to warn them. HCQ+AZ combination, probably has a mild QTc prolongation effect. Concerns over its negative effects, however minor, can be addressed by respecting contra-indications.

Effectiveness of HCQ-based treatment for COVID-19 is hampered by conditions that are presented as precautions, delaying the onset of treatment. For examples, some states require that COVID-19 patients be treated with HCQ exclusively in hospital settings.

The COVID-19 Treatment Panel of NIH evaded disclosure of the massive financial links of its members to Gilead Sciences, the manufacturer of a competing drug remdesivir. Among those who failed to disclose such links are 2 out of 3 of its co-chairs.

Despite all the attempts by certain authorities to prevent COVID-19 treatment with HCQ and HCQ+AZ, both components are approved by FDA, and doctors can prescribe them for COVID-19.

Exclusive: Healthy over-70s set to be released from strict coronavirus lockdown measures
The Telegraph Camilla Tominey,The Telegraph

Healthy over-70s look likely to be released from stringent coronavirus social distancing measures, The Telegraph has learned.

Ministers are hoping to clarify the rules for pensioners amid criticism that the current guidance is confusing.

The move follows reports that people judged to be vulnerable could be shielded from normal life for up to 18 months or until a vaccine is found.

Former pensions minister Baroness Altmann warned that Britain faces "social unrest" if the over-70s are forced to endure a longer lockdown than younger generations. The Conservative peer said many older people would "risk going to prison rather than being forced to isolate at home".

Boris Johnson is due to reveal his "road map" for "phase two" of the lockdown on Sunday, which is set to include primary schools reopening as early as June 1 and new guidelines for employees returning to work.

Denmark, Norway and Germany have all partially reopened schools, while Italy – which bore the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic when it first hit Europe – saw around 4.5 million people return to work on Monday.

At Monday's Downing Street press conference it was announced that there had been 288 more coronavirus deaths – the smallest daily rise since March – but Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said the reproduction 'R' value, showing the rate of virus infection, was still not low enough to lift the lockdown.

Experts say the 'R' value needs to remain consistently below one, and it is currently between 0.6 and one.

A Cabinet minister told The Telegraph: "I'd be very surprised if there is a tightening of the measures for over-70s. The whole thing is going to be based around consent rather than compulsion."

A minister close to the discussions concerning elderly and vulnerable people revealed: "The all over-70s grouping is going to morph. There is a big difference between the 1.5 million 'shielded' people, known as extremely critically vulnerable, who have been sent a letter advising them to shield for 12 weeks, vulnerable people with pre-existing health conditions of any age, and healthy over-70s.

"This needs to be made clearer – you can't just have a blanket over-70s group. That's unsustainable. It's not a static group."

Pointing out that the over-70s make up nearly nine million of the UK's population, the minister said: "There aren't enough supermarket delivery slots to cater for that amount of people.

"What we are going to see is more self-selection and personal responsibility. People will self-select whether they are vulnerable or not. The over-70s are a very sensible group – by and large, they know if they should be staying indoors or not.”

The Cabinet minister added: "There has been a lot of over-interpreting of the advice, and people are going to have to start making judgments for themselves. So far it's all advisory – we haven't had a situation where the police have been checking the date of birth of elderly people in the supermarkets, and rightly so.

"I'd be very surprised if the advice gets any stricter for the over-70s."

Hancock dismisses claims of ‘state surveillance’ through Covid-19 app
PA Media: UK News Gavin Cordon, PA Whitehall Editor,PA Media: UK News

(please click link as there are graphs etc which I cant paste)

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/hancock-dismisses-claims-state-surveillance-103303732.html

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has dismissed warnings by civil liberties campaigners that a new coronavirus contact tracing app could open the door to widespread “state surveillance”.

Ministers are urging the public to sign up to the app – which is beginning trials on the Isle of Wight -as a way out of the current lockdown and re-starting the economy.

The Government’s efforts to promote the new “test, track and trace” strategy came as official figures showed the death toll had soared past 30,000 and analysis by the PA news agency found at least 140 NHS and care workers have lost their lives.

Mr Hancock however insisted it is “completely wrong” to say that the app represents a threat to civil liberties.

Instead, he said it is a “very, very positive step” which will enable people to regain some of the freedoms they had lost as a result of the lockdown.

The row erupted as the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics showed another rise in the weekly number of registered deaths involving Covid-19 occurring in care homes in England and Wales.

The total for the week ending April 24 was 2,794, up from 2,050 in the week ending April 17 – an increase of 36%.

Over the same period the number of registered deaths involving coronavirus occurring in hospitals fell from 6,107 to 4,841 – a decrease of 21%.

In other developments:

– A total of 32,375 deaths involving Covid-19 have now been registered across the UK;

– Lockdown restrictions should be eased “very gradually” in order to maintain public trust in health policy, according to a newly-published paper from a scientific pandemic influenza group which looks at behaviour and is advising the Government;

– Chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said the risk of a second peak is “very real”, telling MPs it was something “you need to watch out for, and you can see it in other countries”;

– Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said there would be a “phased approach” to reopening schools.

The new NHS Covid-19 app is central to the Government’s “test, track and trace” strategy for controlling the spread of the disease while easing social distancing rules.

Mr Hancock said concerns about the app expressed by groups such as Amnesty International UK – which warned they are “opening the door to pervasive state surveillance” – are misplaced.

“The purposes of this are purely and simply to control the spread of the virus, which is really important,” he told BBC Breakfast.

“We’ve all had to give up significant infringements on our liberty – for instance, with the social distancing measures and the lockdown – and we want to release those, and this approach will help us to release them.”

The app uses Bluetooth to track and trace contacts between users – alerting people if someone they interacted with has displayed symptoms or tested positive for the virus.

Officials insist it is designed with privacy and security “front of mind”, with the data stored on an individual’s phone until the point they contact the NHS to report symptoms and request a test.

However, Amnesty International UK director Kate Allen said ministers need to explain why – unlike other European countries – Britain is establishing a central database to store information.

“We remain concerned that the Government is using the coronavirus pandemic to normalise technologies that threaten our privacy rights, and which the public would not accept in ordinary circumstances,” she said.

Ministers have said that if the pilot on the Isle of Wight – beginning on Tuesday with NHS and council staff – is successful, the app could be rolled out across the country within weeks.

Mr Hancock said the more people who sign up to it, the more effective it will be.

“What I can tell you is that if you download the app then you are doing your duty and you are helping to save lives, and you’re helping to control the spread of the virus,” he said.
Coronavirus – Sun Apr 12, 2020

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he hopes the trial succeeds but warned that the Government needs other contact tracing measures in place as well.

“I am a bit concerned that a similar app in Singapore only had, I think, something like a 20% take-up rate in the public,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

“So, what I’m pushing the Government to say is you are going to have to have the traditional way of tracing as well, which is doing it more manually – phoning people, etc, etc.

“Because, if you put all your eggs in the basket of this particular app – which I want to work as much as anybody else – it may a) it may not work, or b) it may be that not enough people take it up.”

Dr Rashid Buttar Interview Why COVID 19 Is Not What You Think The Last American Vagabon

The Dr is a bit tired to begin with but when he gets going Wow!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpnvhKewM8w

Wow, that didn't last long!

Video taken down. :(

Here’s most of what Dr. Buttar is saying in this now taken down video (I took some notes):

The creation of the largest deception of the human race. Many people are blind.

Anonymous complaints against Dr. Buttar – subversive tactics; YT, Google, Facebook, MSM. (Bill Gates on ‘top’).

Misinformation, deception, divertion, and distraction are the real issues. The real danger not Covid but the coming vaccines and the erotion of the rights of individuals.

The orchestration and mental preparation, indoctrination and de-sensitivation in order to implement the RFID-chip regime. Monitoring us away from all privacy.

When this interview gets on YT it will be flagged if we mention ‘a number and a letter’ (5G).

In Buttars opinion (based on everything he’s seen) this is all based on covering up a technology (5G). Covid as a cover for the technological health issues.

Everything is in the interest of the globalist agenda = creating a NWO.

It’s not to what extent we’ve been lied to that matters (which is cognitive dissonance) but the fact that we’re being lied to.

Buttar’s followers are being accused of being cultists.

You can’t alter a fact by relabeling it.

Buttar & Lipton’s video last week about shifting the mind set and about love, gratitude, compassion for the rest of the world, asking for source energy = censored on certain platforms. That happened because they now realize we the people, the world’s population have the ability to change this. Makes them scared.

(Thoughts can be measured and are tangible – they can be measured outside of the brain (and head). Ergo the world can be changed if enough people ‘think the same way’.)

So that’s what happened; the meassage was being heard even though it was up for only 48 hours. (Confirmed by emails to Buttar).

The question is: Why do they feel threatened by a video that talks about showing love and gratitude?

The virus is a chimeric derivative and is virulent.

Buttar believes that 99.99 % of the world’s population have been exposed to the virus.

If it wasn’t for viruses we’d be dead, extinct hundred of thousands of years ago. Humans are a viral system. Without them we wouldn’t be able to evolve – that’s what it comes down to.

Viruses are already inside us as a toxic response to a toxilogical insult.

This virus is man made and anything that man makes gets screwed up therefore we have nothing to worry about (except for some of the already immunocompromised).

This is en evil agenda but it is brilliant – it’s been set up for decades. Nothing to do with saving people and everything to do with depopulation.

They’re making us toxic (with chemtrails, pecticides, and so on) so that our immune system is rendered more susceptible to what’s coming down the pipeline. (‘Buttar’s seven toxicity philosophy’: These 7 Toxicities are 1.) Heavy Metals Toxicity, 2.) Persistent Organic Pollutant Toxicity, 3.) Opportunistic (Pathogens) Toxicity, 4.) Food Toxicities, 5.) Energetic Toxicities, 6.) Psychological / Emotional Toxicities and 7.) Spiritual Toxicities. (Source (https://www.drbuttar.com/mission-statement-philosophy.html)).)

All put together this is an assault on global consciousness.

The biggest sceptics should ask this question themselves and then answer it: Why do they have patents (source (https://data.epo.org/publication-server/pdf-document?pn=3172319&ki=B1&cc=EP&pd=20191120)/ source (https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/1d/4e/4a/ac8914e765d645/EP3172319B1.pdf)- possibly) on the new altered chimeric version of the virus, who owns them and why? Why not patent the treatment? This is a historically consistent thing; H1N1 had patents, Zika, Covid etc. That’s the question we should be asking.

Second question: If this virus is so devestating, dangerous, and threatening to the world then why would it go from Wuhan to Iran, Italy, and then end up making New York the epicenter of the world? NB! Blaming China (or whoever) is just a diversion. It jumped over Beijing and Shanghai… This suggests that it’s a lie. Why didn’t Shanghai and Beijing shut down? = Not asking this question is cognitive dissonance.

It’s like you need to be socially isolated and six feet apart – but planes are still flying.

More health care professionals are being let go than ever before.

Why are the MSM taking a picture of one hospital and then presenting it as multiple hospitals? Some people ‘die’ over and over just with different credentials.

Death certificates are being altered. The mandate from the CDC; respiratory condition now equals Covid 19. Why? They’re elevating the numbers to justify what they’ve done because they don’t have the numbers. It still doesn’t match the seasonal flu.

People who want to open up (like the Mayor of Las Vegas) get attacked in and by the media. People need to start thinking for themselves.

Nobody’s asking; what does fear do to a person?

The issue of masks have been put on its head – from protecting others to protecting yourself. When you restrict the flow of oxygen there is a stress response/weakens the immune system. Wearing a mask causes the viruses in our body to express more because of the stress on the system.

Buttar voted for Bush the first time but not second (Dr Buttar was on of twelwe doctors appointed by Bush in a heavy metal ‘task force’). Same with Obama. He did not vote for Trump last time but will vote for him the next time – Trump’s been attacked from everywhere and still has accomplished more than the four last presidents did together.

This is a war against humanity that needs to be risen to.

Advance Medicine Conference was scheduled back in October 2019 that’s [now] supposed to occur in May 23., 24. and 25. and we have not canceled it and we’re going to have this conference. It may be streamed.

Now is the time for everybody to start speaking out. Make the effort, organize etc.

Why is social media now saying that if you try to use it to organize groups and gatherings to protest they will shut you down? = Infringement on our freedom of speech. Freedom of speech gives us the freedom to assemble and they’re impeding on that.

Questions like that can make people realize that this is about the future generations.

Watch all the Covid 19 conspiracy videos – you can watch the first two on YT or Facebook, the rest of them on Advanced Medicine / askdrbuttar (source (https://www.askdrbuttar.com/ask/)) (for free). Also Aaron Ginn’s article (source (https://www.zerohedge.com/health/covid-19-evidence-over-hysteria)).

This is the greatest hoax that’s ever been committed.

When you look at the people who’ve died in Wuhan, in Italy, in New York, in Iran; when you look at the genomic sequence of the virus it’s different. So it’s not the same component anywhere.

It’s not a viral injury but a hypoxic injury, it looks like altitude sickness and I believe it’s directly 100 % correlated with that technology we’re talking about because that is the next component.

How many of the people that’ve died of Covid 19 had the H1N1 flu shot or a different vaccine? We have no idea.

If Fauci knew in 2017 that this was going to happen and it’s been predicted (other people have been predicting this all the way back to 1981 – there were predictions in the pharma’s almanac that it was going to be a mass pandemic in 2020); how did they know this? Somebody knew this. It’s all been orchestrated and planned out.

Don’t allow your preconceived notions to dictate what you are going to believe. Remember the definition of cognitive dissonance.

Anybody who approaches this objectively and looks at it without any preconceived notions and is willing to challenge themselves will come to the same conclusion.

ABOUT THE FILM Humanity is imprisoned by a killer pandemic.

People are being arrested for surfing in the ocean and meditating in nature. Nations are collapsing. Hungry citizens are rioting for food.

The media has generated so much confusion and fear that people are begging for salvation in a syringe.

Billionaire patent owners are pushing for globally mandated vaccines.

Anyone who refuses to be injected with experimental poisons will be prohibited from travel, education and work. No, this is not a synopsis for a new horror movie. This is our current reality.

Let’s back up to address how we got here... In the early 1900s, America’s first Billionaire, John D. Rockefeller bought a German pharmaceutical company that would later assist Hitler to implement his eugenics-based vision by manufacturing chemicals and poisons for war.

Rockefeller wanted to eliminate the competitors of Western medicine, so he submitted a report to Congress declaring that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all natural healing modalities were unscientific quackery.

Rockefeller called for the standardization of medical education, whereby only his organization be allowed to grant medical school licenses in the US. And so began the practice of immune suppressive, synthetic and toxic drugs.

Once people had become dependent on this new system and the addictive drugs it provided, the system switched to a paid program, creating lifelong customers for the Rockefellers.

Currently, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US. Rockefeller’s secret weapon to success was the strategy known as, “problem-reaction-solution.” Create a problem, escalate fear, then offer a pre-planned solution. Sound familiar? Flash forward to 2020... They named it COVID19.

Our leaders of world health predicted millions would die. The National Guard was deployed. Makeshift hospitals were erected to care for a massive overflow of patients. Mass graves were dug. Terrifying news reports had people everywhere seeking shelter to avoid connect. The plan is unfolding with precision. But the masters of the Pandemic underestimated one thing... the people.

Medical professionals and every-day citizens are sharing critical information online.

The overlords of big tech have ordered all dissenting voices to be silenced and banned, but they are too late. The slumbering masses are awake and aware that something is not right.

Quarantine has provided the missing element: time.

Suddenly, our overworked citizenry has ample time to research and investigate for themselves. Once you see, you can’t unsee. The window of opportunity is open like never before. For the first time in human history, we have the world’s attention.

Plandemic will expose the scientific and political elite who run the scam that is our global health system, while laying out a new plan; a plan that allows all of humanity to reconnect with healing forces of nature.

2020 is the code for perfect vision. It is also the year that will go down in history as the moment we finally opened our eyes.

CHILDREN ARE FALLING ILL WITH A BAFFLING AILMENT RELATED TO COVID-19

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/05/nyregion/kawasaki-disease-coronavirus.html
No children are known to have died so far, but several have ended up in intensive care with mysterious symptoms that include enlarged coronary arteries.

One child, 8 years old, arrived at a Long Island hospital near death last week. His brother, a boy scout, had begun performing chest compressions before the ambulance crew reached their home.

In the past two days alone, the hospital, Cohen Children’s Medical Center, has admitted five critically ill patients — ages 4 to 12 — with an unusual sickness that appears to be somehow linked to Covid-19, the disease caused by coronavirus. In total, about 25 similarly ill children have been admitted there in recent weeks with symptoms ranging from reddened tongues to enlarged coronary arteries.

Since the coronavirus pandemic began, most infected children have not developed serious respiratory failure of the kind that has afflicted adults. But in recent weeks, a mysterious new syndrome has cropped up among children in Long Island, New York City and other hot spots around the country, in an indication that the risk to children may be greater than anticipated.

The number of children in the United States showing signs of this new syndrome — which first was detected in Europe last month — is still small. None is known to have died, and many have responded well to treatment.

No solid data yet exists about how many children in the United States have fallen ill with what doctors are calling “pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome.”

“This is really only a disease that has been clear for two weeks now, so there is so much we’re trying to learn about this,” the chief of pediatric critical care at Cohen Children’s, Dr. James Schneider, said in an interview on Tuesday.

Doctors say this condition does not seem to be driven by the virus attacking the lungs, a hallmark of coronavirus infection in adults.

While some of the children with this condition do end up with respiratory problems and a few have needed to be on ventilators, “it seems to be less a lung-specific disease,” said Dr. Steven Kernie, chief of pediatric critical care medicine at Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, which has treated between 10 and 20 children with the condition, ranging from infants to older teenagers.

He said many of their symptoms — from rashes to redness of eyes to blood circulation problems — appear to be rooted in an “overall inflammatory response.”

In some patients the syndrome seems similar to a rare childhood illness called Kawasaki disease, which can lead to inflammation of the blood vessels, especially the coronary arteries.

The symptoms of Kawasaki disease often start with a fever and a rash, but when undiagnosed and untreated, the illness can lead to serious heart conditions, such as coronary aneurysms. The disease, which generally afflicts patients 6 months to about 6 years old, is considered rare in the United States.

But Dr. Kernie said it was important to distinguish between this coronavirus-related condition and Kawasaki disease.

While some of the symptoms are similar, Dr. Kernie said, including fever, abdominal pain and sometimes a raised rash, there appear to be differences in how the coronavirus-related condition affects the heart.

While shock is a rare complication of Kawasaki disease, in the recent wave of coronavirus-related cases, he said, many of the children are in toxic shock with very low blood pressure and an inability of the blood to effectively circulate oxygen and nutrients to the body’s organs.

On Monday night, the New York City Health Department issued a bulletin, asking doctors to report any cases of the syndrome. The bulletin said the health authorities in the city knew of 15 such cases, involving patients age 2 to 15, who have been in intensive care units since April 17.

But interviews with doctors in New York City and on Long Island suggest that at least 50 children have been treated for the syndrome, not all in intensive care.

“I would say so far we have seen 13 patients,” Dr. Nadine Choueiter of the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx said of the children treated for the syndrome at just her hospital.

Still, doctors were reluctant to speculate how widespread it might be across the city. “That is the question we are constantly thinking about, and I don’t think we know the answer,” Dr. Choueiter said.

In Richmond Hill, Queens, Jayden Hardowar, 8, initially had only a mild fever, starting on April 23, his father, Roup Hardowar, said.

But several days later, Jayden started to grow very weak and listless. On April 29, he was lying in bed watching a Pokemon TV episode. “Mommy,” he cried out, before he stopped breathing. His face started turning purple. His 15-year-old brother, a boy scout, began performing chest compressions, stopping only when the ambulance arrived, his father said.

At Cohen’s Hospital, in New Hyde Park, Jayden was put on a mechanical ventilator for three days before he began to improve. Although Jayden tested negative for the coronavirus, he tested positive for antibodies, suggesting he might have been infected with the virus in recent weeks or months, his father said.

In recent days, Jayden has begun to open his eyes and smile or cry at his parents during video chats arranged by a nurse. “Last night he said, ‘I love you, Mommy,’” his father recounted on Tuesday.

Jayden is one of 11 children in the intensive care unit at Cohen Children’s deemed to have the syndrome, doctors there said.

Similar cases have appeared elsewhere in the country, too.

Juliet Daly, a healthy 12-year-old from Covington, La., woke up on April 3 with such sharp pains in her stomach that she had trouble moving. “I spent one hour in bed trying, attempting to get up, and I spent half an hour going down the stairs,” Juliet said in an interview on Tuesday.

Over the weekend, she had a fever, and, she said, “I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t drink because I vomited everything up.” By Monday, “my arms were cold and my lips were blue,” she said.

She was so lethargic that “she kind of fell asleep in the bath,” said her father, Sean Daly.

The family took Juliet to a nearby hospital, where they were told that she was experiencing an acute form of heart inflammation called fulminant myocarditis. Her heart rate was very low, and her heart was failing to pump blood.

The hospital decided to put Juliet on a ventilator and airlifted her to a medical center in New Orleans, about 40 miles south. During the intubation procedure, her heart stopped, and “she went into arrest for a little under two minutes,” Mr. Daly said. Later, on the helicopter, her heart stopped again and she needed to be revived by C.P.R., he said.

After nine days in the hospital, she returned home to her parents and two brothers. “I was able to walk around, but I was still wobbly,” she said. Now, Juliet, who likes to bike and do artwork, is feeling healthy.

Doctors in New York have noted that cases of the new syndrome began to appear a month or so after a surge of Covid-19 in the region. That timing suggests “it’s a post-infectious immune response to this,” said Dr. Leonard Krilov, chairman of pediatrics at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, N.Y.

In some cases, the treatment for children with the new syndrome is straightforward and quick. Dr. Krilov recently treated a 4-year-old boy whose family had previously fallen ill with Covid-19. Weeks later, the boy had a high fever, a rash and kidney trouble. He was given one of the standard treatments for Kawasaki disease: intravenous immunoglobulin, a serum harvested from donated blood. Within a day his fever fell and kidneys returned to normal, Dr. Krilov said.

Early research suggests that children are significantly less likely to become seriously ill with Covid-19 than adults. In New York City there have been 13,724 deaths of laboratory-confirmed Covid patients. Six have been 17 years old or younger, and all had underlying health conditions, according to city data.

Doctors say that even though there is growing evidence that some healthy children are falling gravely ill with this new syndrome, they are still at far less risk from Covid-19 than adults.

“It’s just a different disease in adults,” said Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Medical Center, who treated one pediatric patient with the new syndrome last week.

“It is very, very rare, and the children have been doing OK for the most part,” Dr. Lighter said of the new syndrome. “My patient is home and doing great.”

Legacy of coronavirus 'could haunt us for years', WHO chief warns
Yahoo News UK Andy Wells,Yahoo News UK

The dangers of coronavirus will not end with the pandemic, the European director of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned.

Aside from the health implications of the virus, Dr Hans Kluge said there would be other harmful legacies – including job losses, a rise in alcohol and drug-fuelled domestic violence and mental health issues.

Kluge said what comes after the pandemic could "haunt us for years”, and urged people not to consider turning to alcohol as the UK government prepares to announce possible easing of some lockdown measures.

Speaking during a WHO Europe briefing, Kluge said: "Yes, this (reducing alcohol consumption during lockdown) is definitely one of the recommendations, definitely to limit it.

"Everyone has to look at their own situation. The COVID-19 response is an additional moment to quit smoking but this has to be looked at in a broad atmosphere of how the person is feeling.
Latest coronavirus news, updates and advice

"But to put it short, alcohol is a very bad adviser.”

Kluge said the restrictive measures of lockdown had "understandably bred stress and anxiety", and added the WHO was "troubled" by reports from the UK, Ireland and some other European countries that this had led to an increase in violence.

Domestic abuse charities have reported a surge in demand for their services, with a 25% increase in calls to the National Domestic Abuse helpline since lockdown measures came into force on 23 March.

Kluge said: "So much related to COVID-19 has been unparalleled and is outside our control and understanding.

"But with solidarity we can prevent violence from blighting the lives of generations.”

The UK government announced this week that it would spend £76m on supporting vulnerable people who are "trapped in a nightmare" at home during the lockdown.

Kluge also highlighted the risks of sexual abuse taking place “out of society’s sight” with countries in full or partial lockdowns.

He added: “Out of school, at-risk children are off the radar of education and social sectors. With prevention and protection services on hold, those in need cannot access essential social services and care, nor be reached by those services.”

A report from the National Crime Agency released last month said that there are at least 300,000 people in the UK posing a sexual threat to children, either through physical ‘contact’ abuse or online.

The French government has revealed the final map which determines how some restrictions

When France begins to lift its lockdown on May 11th, there will be local differences, albeit small ones to begin with - and these depend on whether you live in a red or green area.

Preliminary maps have been published throughout the week, but the one revealed by health minister Olivier Véran on Thursday forms the final plan for the lifting of lockdown.

Three criteria
Three criteria are used to apply the red or green rating;

The number of new cases being diagnosed

The capacity in local intensive care units

Whether local authorities have a comprehensive testing and tracing programme in place

In the final map four regions of France - Hauts-de-France, Grand-Est, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and the greater Paris Île-de-France region received a red designation, which meant 32 départements in all.

One overseas département - Mayotte - is also red.

https://www.thelocal.fr/userdata/images/1588862586_screenshot-2020-05-07-at-16-40-02.jpg

The Prime Minister stated that the situation in Mayotte and the Paris region were causing particular concern.
“In Ile-de-France, the number of new cases is decreasing but it remains high, higher than we want it to,” Philippe said.

“We will begin to ease the lockdown (in Île-de-France), but seeing as this region is very densely populated, we need to practice a very strict discipline," he said.
Earlier versions of the map had taken into account only the circulation of the virus in the area and the hospital situation - the final map includes a third factor; how well organised local authorities are in regard to testing.

Earlier versions of the map also showed some areas in orange - these were the the areas as yet undecided.

The maps will continue to be revised after May 11th, but those areas that are now red will not be able to move to loosen some restrictions until the second phase begins on June 2nd - even if their département changes colour in the meantime.

What is the difference between red and green?
The idea is to enforce looser restrictions in areas where there are fewer cases of coronavirus and where local health services are coping well and tighter restrictions for areas where the virus is still prevalent and hospitals under pressure.

However local authorities have the right to make changes in accordance with local conditions.

The main difference in phase 1 is that parks and gardens will not reopen in red areas on May 11th - meaning that Paris parks will stay closed.

Secondary schools (colleges) will only be able to reopen in green areas from May 18th although even then it will only be two year groups - years 5 and 6. A decision for when years 3 and 4 can return to the classroom will be take at the end of May.
The health minister has also said local authorities in red areas may be given powers to close shops or schools if necessary.

France's PM also said those départments that remain coloured green in three weeks will be able to ease restrictions even further.

"The country is divided in two: in the major part we managed to slow down the epidemic wave (...) these are the green departments," said Edouard Philippe. "If they stay green for the next three weeks, we can at the very beginning of June consider a new phase of deconfinement."

He also suggested those living in red départements must be more vigilant with how they respect social distancing.

UK scientists condemn 'Stalinist' attempt to censor Covid-19 advice
The Guardian Paul Lewis and David Conn,The Guardian

Is this a break through a change of media presentation
Chris

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/revealed-uk-scientists-fury-over-105851929.html

Government scientific advisers are furious at what they see as an attempt to censor their advice on government proposals during the Covid-19 lockdown by heavily redacting an official report before it was released to the public, the Guardian can reveal.

The report was one of a series of documents published by the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (Sage) this week to mollify growing criticism about the lack of transparency over the advice given to ministers responding to the coronavirus.

However, large blocks of text in the report, produced by SPI-B, the Sage subcommittee providing advice from behavioural scientists on how the public might respond to lockdown measures, were entirely blanked out.

Several SPI–B members told the Guardian that the redacted portions of the document contained criticisms they had made of potential government policies they had been formally asked to consider in late March and early April.

One SPI-B adviser said: “It is bloody silly, and completely counterproductive.” A second committee member said: “The impression I’m getting is this government doesn’t want any criticism.”

On Friday afternoon, after the Guardian revealed frustrations over the redacted report, another member of the government’s advisory committee took to Twitter to complain of what he said was “Stalinist” censorship.

“Personally, I am more bemused than furious,” said Stephen Reicher, a professor of social psychology at the University of St Andrews. “The greatest asset we have in this crisis is the trust and adherence of the public. You want trust? You need to be open with people. This isn’t open. It is reminiscent of Stalinist Russia. Not a good look.”

Members of the committee have been discussing among themselves how best to respond to the redaction, which they believe was a heavy-handed move that jeopardises their independence.

At least one scientific adviser is understood to be considering resigning over the government’s secretive approach to science around the Covid-19 outbreak, which they believe is undermining public trust.

The report, from 1 April, summarised SPI-B’s discussions about how to handle possible changes to the social distancing measures that had just been introduced to slow the spread of Covid-19.

In the version published on Sage’s government website, almost a page and a half of text was heavily redacted. The Guardian understands the blocked text related to SPI–B’s criticism about possible government proposals around that time.

These included the idea of reducing the amount of time Britons could spend exercising or shopping, and stricter financial penalties for those found to be breaking the lockdown. A third proposal involved requiring people to self-validate their movements, as was occurring in France, where citizens were required to complete permits before leaving home.

Experts on SPI-B, which includes professors in psychology, epidemiology and anthropology, said they felt the proposals were too punitive and more likely to result in unfair treatment among people in deprived economic circumstances.

A spokesperson for the Government Office for Science said the redactions took place because the policies discussed in the document were still under consideration.

“The only redactions relate to comments made by a Sage subgroup where specific reference is made to policy still under consideration or to remove contact,” the spokesperson said.

“Redactions were carried out by officials working for the Sage secretariat in consultation with the department developing the policy. All the subgroups were notified and given the opportunity to comment in advance of publication on the redactions being made to specific elements of any papers.”

However, SPI–B advisers who spoke to the Guardian disputed that they had been consulted. “We weren’t given advance notice and we still haven’t been given a satisfactory explanation,” the second SPI–B member said, adding they felt the redaction had been intended to stifle criticism.

“This government has failed to show any self-criticism whatsoever, when it is glaringly obvious to everybody that big mistakes have been made. If you want the trust of the population you hold up your hand and you say ‘we’ve made these mistakes, this is why they happened, we regret it, we’re learning from it’. Rather than just keep saying ‘we’ve done the most fantastic job’ and not being open to criticism in any way.”
default

A third member of SPI–B said they felt the redactions undermined the expert group’s independence from politicians. “What is recorded in the redacted document is us criticising those proposals. They were just not particularly well thought out. Here we were being independent, and you can’t see it [because of the redactions].”

A fourth member of SPI-B questions whether the heavy redaction might even have been a mistake, as the documents were summaries of the committee’s discussions produced by civil servants.
The Guardian is investigating how the UK government prepared for – and is responding to – the coronavirus pandemic. We want to learn more about recent decisions taken at the heart of government. If you're a whistleblower or source and with new information, you can email investigations@theguardian.com, or (using a non-work phone) use Signal or WhatsApp to message (UK) +44 7584 640566.

“Whether it was a mistake or deliberate doesn’t matter; it should not have happened, it’s deeply problematic,” the adviser said. “The public needs to have trust and confidence in the scientific advice, which the government claims it is relying on, and to see sections redacted in published documents diminishes trust and confidence.”

The committee’s consideration of the government proposals is understood to have occurred during the first week of the lockdown, which began on 23 March.

The behavioural scientists said in their four-page report that there was a consensus that the high-levels of adherence to government guidelines “are likely to be maintained in the short-to-medium term, for as long as it is evident that Covid-19 poses a serious risk that cannot be managed in any other way”.

However they were concerned that introducing more coercive measures, such as more draconian restrictions on movements, risked undermining the high levels of adherence, which they said was “likely based on a sense of community cooperation”.

New coronavirus test that uses the gene-editing tool CRISPR could offer a simpler way to screen for the virus at HOME, scientists say (http://www.scoopyweb.com/2020/05/new-coronavirus-test-that-uses-gene.html)

3 hrs ago (http://www.scoopyweb.com/2020/05/new-coronavirus-test-that-uses-gene.html) 3 minute

The scientists behind the CRISPR gene editing technology have retooled it for use as a coronavirus test

CRISPR's first stage detects a piece of genetic material, and with the right enzyme, it can find viral RNA instead of human DNA

The Broad Institute's entire test works in one test tube, meaning it could potentially be done in full at home, rather than being sent to a lab for analysis

It's approximately as accurate as other tests and can return results in an hour

Broad has applied for emergency use authorization of its test with the FDA

One of the teams that developed the revolutionary (but controversial) gene-editing tool, CRISPR, has retooled it to make a new coronavirus (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/coronavirus/index.html) test, scientists at MIT and the Broad Institute announced Tuesday.

The newly-designed test can detect even trace amounts of the virus via either nasal swab or spit sample.

Dr Feng Zhang and his team told Stat News that their new test can return results within an hour.

And because all of the chemicals needed to run the diagnostic are contained in a single test tube, the researchers say it's more fail-proof and will be easier to launch than have been many of the fumbled tests that hit the US market earlier.

Already, Dr Zhang's collaborators have published the protocol required for the test, and the researchers are in talks with the Food and Drug Administration to get emergency use authorization for it.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/05/05/23/28046142-8290435-image-a-1_1588717468219.jpg
A new test that uses CRISPR technology to detect coronavirus genetic material in a patient sample could be run entirely at a point-of-care or even at home as all of the chemicals involved react within an hour in a single test tube, displaying negative (left) or positive (right) results on paper strips similar to a pregnancy test

Dr Zhang told Stat News (https://www.statnews.com/2020/05/05/crispr-covid-19-test-could-be-simple-cheap-at-home-diagnostic/) that the diagnostic is currently only available for research purposes, but that it is highly accurate.

CRISPR has drawn excitement for its potential to correct genetic diseases, as well as alarm, after a Chinese scientists revealed last year that he had gene-edited a pair of twins in the womb.

The technology is comprised of remarkable capabilities: it can find particular genes along a strand of DNA, then snip out the faulty piece and finally replace it with a corrected version of the gene.

That first element - correctly identifying a bit of genetic material - is essentially what coronavirus tests do. They detect the genetic material, or RNA, of the virus.

In lab experiments, the CRISPR test proved 97 percent sensitive - meaning it only failed to identify coronavirus in samples where the virus was present - and 100 percent specific, meaning it never mistakes something else for coronavirus.

That puts it on par with the other available diagnostics for coronavirus.

But the CRISPR test's most important distinction is that it is a 'one pot' test, meaning the sample goes into a test tube where all the necessary reactions to identify the virus happen in one place.

It doesn't have to be run in an analysis machine like others do.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/05/05/23/28046138-8290435-image-a-2_1588717568523.jpg

To make the test, researchers had to find an enzyme that would hunt down and identify viral genetic material at the appropriate temperature and detect even trace amounts of it

Currently, one 'at-home' coronavirus test kit - Abbott's Pixel - has gotten explicit emergency use authorization from the FDA.

But that simply means that the sample - a lower nasal swab - can be collected by a patient at home.

Then, it's sent back out to a lab, where it has to be run on a PCR (polymerases chain reaction) machine.

So while some of these tests can be run in a matter of minutes, it's often days before results are returned to the patient.

The entire CRISPR test could eventually be an at-home diagnostic, the Broad team says.

All of the agents that react to the sample can do so in one test tube, then a paper dipstick shows the results, similar to how a pregnancy test displays results.

Detection in CRISPR is accomplished by enzymes. For editing human genes, scientists use an enzyme called Cas9.

But to make the editor recognize coronavirus at correct temperature, the researchers had to pick out a different enzyme.

They landed on one that comes from a bacterium that gives orange juice its nasty taste when it's gone bad.

Instead of requiring a clinician to pipet reagent into a tray with the sample and other chemicals, it's all self contained.

So, in theory, a person could put their own sample in a tube, where it would mix with the CRISPR enzyme and reagent, react, and turn either the positive or negative stripe on the paper strip darker.

In early tests, it reacts with saliva also, which would make the test even easier to perform in the comfort of home without risking exposure.

'The ability to test for COVID-19 at home, or even in pharmacies or places of employment, could be a game-changer for getting people safely back to work and into their communities,' said Dr Zhang.

'Creating a point-of-care tool is a critically important goal to allow timely decisions for protecting patients and those around them.'

COVID: breathing ventilators, New York, death rate
by Jon Rappoport
May 8, 2020
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/05/08/covid-breathing-ventilators-new-york-death-rate/

"A recent study from the Journal of the American Medical Association Network delivers numbers that should make you stop and think—

JAMA Network, April 22, 2020, “Presenting Characteristics, Comorbidities, and Outcomes Among 5700 Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 in the New York City Area”:

“Mortality rates for those who received mechanical ventilation in the 18-to-65 and older-than-65 age groups were 76.4% and 97.2%, respectively. Mortality rates for those in the 18-to-65 and older-than-65 age groups who did not receive mechanical ventilation were 19.8% and 26.6%, respectively.”

Well, of course, the people who were put on ventilators were the most ill patients to begin with, right? Perhaps. We don’t know that.

In any case, the numbers are shocking.

How to explain them?

I offer several clues.

CLUE ONE: A close and trusted researcher has told me the following: many older people live with chronically low oxygen levels. This may not be ideal, but they survive.

However, when such people arrive at hospitals, doctors can misinterpret the oxygen levels, believing these are dire emergency situations—and therefore, they put the patients on ventilators. With too much pressure, the result can be lung damage and death.

CLUE TWO: The now-famous New York ER doctor, Cameron Kyle-Sidell, at Maimonides Medical Center, has stated that standard ventilator protocol could be damaging and killing patients.

NY Post, April 6: “In another video posted Sunday, Kyle-Sidell described COVID-19…It is as if tens of thousands of my fellow New Yorkers are on a plane at 30,000 feet and the cabin pressure is slowly being let out’,” he said in a video posted Tuesday.”

“’These patients are slowly being starved of oxygen … and while they look like patients absolutely on the brink of death, they do not look like patients dying of pneumonia’.”

Sidell has said the lung muscles of these patients are functioning. That is not the problem. Oxygen deprivation is the problem.

NY Post: “James Cai, a physician assistant who was New Jersey’s first coronavirus patient, told The Post that he agreed with Kyle-Sidell’s observations and conclusions…”

“Cai noted that the… ‘[lung muscle in the] COVID-19 patient works just fine. So [a] ventilator is actually doing more harm to [the] lung…thousands of thousands [of] Americans’ lives are on the line!’”

CLUE THREE: Money. Insurance money. In a phone interview, physician and Minnesota state senator, Scott Jensen, told me that hospitals, who are suffering very deep financial losses, are incentivized by Medicare to label as many patients as possible “COVID-19,” and to put them on ventilators.

Jensen stated that a patient on Medicare, diagnosed with straight pneumonia, would bring a $4600 payment to the hospital. The same patient, labeled “COVID-19 pneumonia,” would bring $13,000. And if that patient is put on a ventilator: $39,000.

Result? Patients unnecessarily put on ventilators. With the wrong protocol, harm and death could result.

CLUE FOUR: In New York, there are many elderly and very ill people, suffering from long-term conditions that have nothing to do with an epidemic. They have been treated for years with toxic drugs and toxic vaccines. They already have lung problems. Massive propaganda about the COVID virus terrifies them. They believe they might be “infected.” They’re also afraid their neighbors might report them to the authorities if they cough at night. They come to hospitals. There, in the midst of a foreign environment, they’re confused and even more scared. Diagnosed with COVID, put on ventilators, isolated from family and friends, they give up and die.

There is one more factor that has been overlooked. It involves the “high-altitude sickness” in patients. Oxygen deprivation. Some people have explained this as an effect of the recent rollout of 5G technology.

Here, from a CDC FAQ about 2003 SARS—yes, I said 2003—is a brief quote: “After 2 to 7 days, SARS patients may develop a dry, nonproductive cough that might be accompanied by or progress to a condition in which the oxygen levels in the blood are low (hypoxia).”

So unless the CDC is retrospectively rewriting history, straight oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) is not a recent development.

WebMD describes hypoxia: “Hypoxemia (low oxygen in your blood) can cause hypoxia (low oxygen in your tissues) when your blood doesn’t carry enough oxygen to your tissues to meet your body’s needs. The word hypoxia is sometimes used to describe both problems.”

WebMD lists a number of causes: asthma attack; trauma (injury); COPD; emphysema; bronchitis; pain medicines, “and other drugs that hold back breathing”; heart problems; anemia, “a low number of red blood cells, which carry oxygen.”

Among the drugs that can cause the oxygen deprivation known as hypoxia? From drugabuse.com: “…opiate [opioid] drugs also slow your breathing…and in case of an overdose, your breathing is slowed to a virtually non-existent and lethal level.”

Is anyone looking into that, in New York?

More from drugabuse.com: “In the U.S., a whopping 44 people die each and every day as a result of respiratory arrest brought on by prescription opioid overdose. The opioids depress your breathing, bring on heavy sedation and make it impossible to wake up. What’s more, the opioids found in painkillers are the same ones found in heroin, which caused over 8,000 overdose deaths in 2013.”

From Medscape, there is more: “Life-threatening breathing difficulties can occur in patients who use gabapentin or pregabalin with opioids or other drugs that depress the central nervous system, as well as those with underlying respiratory impairment and the elderly, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned in a drug safety communication issued today.”

2018 estimate of deaths from opioid overdoses in New York: 3000. Many more people in the New York area are addicted to these drugs. In New York State, in 2017, the number of people discharged from hospitals, after treatment for opioid overdose or dependency: 25,000.

In 2020, still more people who have developed opioid hypoxia would be missed, because they are diagnosed with “COVID-19 lung problems.” Some of these people would be put on ventilators—ignoring the need to deal with their overdose, their addiction, their withdrawal—and they would die.

New York City, opioids, heroin, severe breathing problems, hypoxia.

None of the clues I’ve listed requires the existence or transmission of a purported coronavirus.

Note: In the near future, I hope to publish updated information from the extraordinary environmental researcher, Jim West, who has been documenting the effects of pollution in the New York area for 20 years.

May 8, 2020 (https://www.iceagenow.info/this-is-a-funny-kind-of-pandemic-featuring-empty-hospitals/) by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/)

If you pay attention to the news, you might assume that record numbers of people are dying. The opposite is true. ______

This is a funny kind of pandemic, featuring empty hospitals

Adoni

The way this whole thing has played out shows me that there simply is no “novel corona virus”, at least not in the sense that the media is pushing it. A pandemic identifies itself by killing large numbers of people very quickly and by spreading across the planet in short order. If there actually was a pandemic, those two features would be overwhelmingly evident and there would be no need for a 24/7 media push to cement the idea onto the minds of people. If there was an actual pandemic, the sheer number of deaths and new cases of infection would be irrefutably evident, with massively overrun hospitals and mass burials in every country on Earth.

This is a funny kind of pandemic, though; featuring empty hospitals, comparatively very few deaths, plenty of time for politicians to bumble around making ridiculous statements, and absolutely no evidence of any spread of any single disease that can be proven to be due to this supposed “new virus”. This pandemic also features an almost infinite list of symptoms, and claims that infected carriers are asymptomatic. How convenient for those pushing this fraud.

Another feature of this new kind of pandemic is that deaths from other diseases seem to have stopped almost entirely. See: Death rates in the United States have been going down, not up ( (https://www.iceagenow.info/death-rates-in-the-united-states-have-been-going-down-not-up/)April 24, 2020 by Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser)

If you pay attention to the news, you might assume that record numbers of people are dying. The opposite is true.

This is a pandemic of unjustified panic, spreading due to media lies, not a pandemic of a lethal virus. Infection is self inflicted, though. You can stop it from infecting you by turning off your TV, or simply using it to watch old movies on DVD.

Consuming the nonstop stream of panic porn on TV news programming usually results in infection. The symptoms of the infection include wearing masks (improvised or manufactured), wandering around in public wearing exam gloves, and jumping away from anyone who strays within ten feet of you. Those infected by this panic are easy to avoid, but the people causing this reaction are bound to become more and more unavoidable as they think of new ways to inflict their ideas upon everyone.

Good luck, everybody.

Doctors on front line of worst-hit city in world say it’s time to end shutdown
The Telegraph Josie Ensor,The Telegraph

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/doctors-frontline-worst-hit-city-212802597.html

The doctor looked around the unusually quiet intensive care unit, catching his breath and taking stock for the first time in what felt like weeks.

Dr Samir Farhat’s hospital in New York had been at the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in the US. Now, the ICU was almost back to normal and he found himself wondering when the city would be too.

“It’s not often I agree with Trump, but I think that we should open up on May 15,” said Dr Farhat, who runs the emergency room at New York Community Hospital as well as working as a physician at Mount Sinai Brooklyn.

The New York governor’s three-phase plan to end the lockdown will see the city next week begin slowly easing restrictions that have paralysed the Big Apple for months.

But Dr Farhat and doctors at other major New York hospitals who spoke to The Telegraph said their experience on the front line of the crisis had, somewhat unexpectedly, convinced them the city should reopen without delay.

“Hospital census is right down, admissions are too,” Dr Farhat said. “Opening up now is a calculated risk we need to take.”

Dr Farhat, who specialises in pulmonology, worries that he has not seen the cases of severe asthma, heart attacks and strokes that usually fill his ER beds.

His concern is that the virus has stopped them from seeking medical attention, an unfortunate - and sometimes fatal - consequence of the stay-at-home strategy.

The number of 911 ambulance calls declined to 3,320 in late April, down from a peak of 6,527 on March 30, according to New York Fire Department data. The figure marks its lowest call volume in years.

Dr Daniel Murphy, chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at St Barnabas Hospital in The Bronx who has treated dozens of coronavirus patients, claims “inordinate fear” has guided the public response.

“While Covid-19 is serious, fear of it is being over-amplified. The public needs to understand that the vast majority of infected people do quite well,” he wrote in the New York Post.

He said he noticed the “wave had crested” at St Barnabas on April 7 - three weeks after the statewide shutdown was ordered. “It was a discrete, noticeable event. Stretchers became available, and the number of arriving Covid-19 patients dropped below the number discharged, transferred or deceased,” he said.

“This was striking, because the community I serve is poor. Most work in ‘essential,’ low-paying jobs where distancing isn’t easy. Nevertheless, the wave passed over us, peaked and subsided.

“The way this transpired tells me the ebb and flow had more to do with the natural course of the outbreak than it did with the lockdown,” he said.

His observation appeared to be supported by figures released on Wednesday by Governor Andrew Cuomo, which showed the majority of people who are still being hospitalised with the virus across the state were staying at home and not essential workers.

The survey of 1,269 patients admitted to 113 hospitals over three recent days - the first such look at people getting seriously ill despite six weeks of severe social distancing - confounded expectations.

Retirees accounted for 37 per cent of the people hospitalised. Another 46 per cent were unemployed. Almost three-quarters were 51 years or older. Only 17 per cent were working.

Just four per cent were still using public transportation in their daily life, though it also noted that information on transit use was only available for about half the people surveyed.

The data has prompted questions of how effective the lockdown has been and for how much longer it will be necessary.

“Covid-19 is also more prevalent than we think. Many New Yorkers already have the infection, whether they are aware of it or not,” Dr Murphy said.

A recent antibody sample study which showed that one-in-five residents of New York City had likely already had the virus.

“As of today, over 43 per cent of those tested are positive in The Bronx. We are developing a significant degree of natural herd immunity,” he said. “Distancing works, but I am skeptical that it is playing as predominant a role as many think.”

As states across the US began opening up this week - with mixed results - New York is set to remain closed until the middle of the month.

Mr Cuomo said the state can only progress to “Phase One” once seven requirements were met, including recording a 14-day decline in hospitalisations; an availability rate for intensive care unit beds of at least 30 per cent; and at least 30 working contact tracers per 100,000 residents.

So far it has only met three and is some way off meeting the other four, raising the prospect it could be under severe restrictions for weeks, if not months, to come.

Bill de Blasio, New York’s mayor, warned it looked as if life would not return to normal until September at the earliest.

Virologists and other health experts, however, are expressing growing dread over what they say is an all-but-certain second wave of deaths and infections that could force states to clamp back down.

"We're risking a backslide that will be intolerable," said Dr Ian Lipkin of Columbia University's Center for Infection and Immunity.

The US has recorded over 70,000 deaths and 1.2 million confirmed infections.

This week, the researchers behind a widely cited model from the University of Washington nearly doubled their projection of deaths in the US to around 134,000 through early August, in large part because of the easing of state stay-at-home orders.

Dr Lipkin said preventing outbreaks will require aggressive contact tracing powered by armies of public health workers hundreds of thousands of people strong, which the US currently does not have.

Dr Farhat said he thought a second wave would not be as bad as the first, in part, he offered, because of what doctors have learned. “We are much better prepared now, and have started to figure out what works and what doesn’t,” he said.

“There is a much greater immunity rate now too,” he said, while the elderly population, particularly those in nursing homes, has already been disproportionately affected.

Both talk about the serious longer term effects of a prolonged shutdown. “The lasting impact is what worries me the most,” said Dr Murphy.

The lockdown has decimated the economy, a factor both doctors said could hurt both physical and mental health and should not be downplayed.

One in five working New York City residents will lose their jobs by the end of next month because of the avirus, Comptroller Scott Stringer predicted in an alarming new fiscal report.

This quarter will see a 22 per cent unemployment rate — the highest in the city’s postwar history.

Peter Singer, a bioethics professor at Princeton, said officials need to think about the consequences other than in terms of deaths. “I think the consequences are horrific, in terms of unemployment in particular, which has been shown to have a very serious effect on well-being, and particularly for poorer people.

“Yes, people will die if we open up, but the consequences of not opening up are so severe that maybe we’ve got to do it anyway.” he told the New York Times.

The trade-off is already being made for essential workers, the majority of whom are low-wage. The calculations around reopening are, to some extent, about how comfortable we are with the professional classes becoming part of the trade-off, as Vanita Gupta, president and chief executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, put it.

The doctors the Telegraph spoke to stressed it was not simply a matter of reopening overnight.

“Life has to change, we don’t just spring back to normal,” Dr Farhat said. “We need to wear masks as a habit, scale up testing, and really consider whether we strictly need to travel.”

Mr Coumo has already warned there will have to be a “new normal” after the lockdown is eased, rather than a return to life as New Yorkers knew it.

“We can’t wait for a vaccine that may not come for two years, if it comes at all,” Dr Farhat said. A report out this week revealed a third of Americans would not get a vaccine even if there was one available.

“We just have to figure out a way to live with this,” the doctor said.

The Global Health Mafia Protection Racket

BOOM revelations get bigger as we go along. Stay with me!
Fauci, Event201, Foundations ...and something called the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board. I expose the front organizations covering for the Global Health Mafia.
1Z5VYqJqrtI

Review from Alexandra Bruce of Forbidden Knowledge:
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/the-global-health-mafia-protection-racket/
"COVID-19 is the Green New Deal, by hook or by crook. The Green New Deal is Agenda 21 by another name, also known as Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2050.Madonna and other blackmailed superstars are now telling their fans to never go back to their conspicuous consumption ways – the same way that AOC is.

COVID-19 is a pretext for the roll-out of Agenda 2030 and a “contact-tracing” technocracy, that mimics the NSA’s PRISM in 3D space, that’s being used to build-out the Internet of Things and reduce the population of the US by two-thirds, according to Deagel.com.http://www.deagel.com/country/forecast.aspx?pag=1&sort=Population&ord=DESC

Nobody was buying Agenda 2030 from Greta Thunberg, so the Deep State had to hold the world hostage to get its way.

The Plandemic had been decades in the making for just this moment, evident from the lockstep scripted behavior of global governments. How were they able to pull this off?

Big Pharma have emerged as heavies capable of staging this planetary coup. They’re perhaps the only cohesive group with financial resources to match the world’s militaries.

Many mayors and governors have obviously been read-in. We see the exact same pattern in countries like Brazil, where the lower-level authorities (mayors and governors), particularly those on the Left are shutting down businesses and effectively putting their citizens under house arrest.

We’ve all heard about the “Tropical Trump”. Less well-known are Brazil’s tropical counterparts to Eric Garcetti, Gretchen Whitmer and Kate Brown, “resisting” their President at every turn. Be it Trump or Bolsonaro, the commanders-in-chief are attacked for the “carelessness” of their responses to the Globalist Pandemic.

I’m sure there’s a similar pattern in the EU, the difference being that virtually every EU politician is either an agent or a hostage of the Globalist parasitic cabal. This is evident in the video of the Coronavirus Response international pledging event telethon, hosted by EU President, Ursula Van der Leyen, featuring various national and UN leaders from around the world, shown in this superb video by Amazing Polly.

East-, West- and South Asian states and former Soviet States are seen playing along with the covid psy-op., with African countries also joining in on the charade.

The Globalists momentarily have Trump on the ropes but he’s using the crisis to his advantage, folding the enemy Federal Reserve Bank into the Treasury and creating Special Purpose Vehicles to provide the interest-free $6 trillion stimulus package.

We’re seeing the execution of the endless money supply of Modern Monetary Theory. Why vote Democrat to have your Communism, when we’ve seemingly already got it under Trump? All he has to do now is to forgive college debt."

Because of the measures currently being taken, emergency rooms are empty because there are fewer outdoor accidents. Nobody is getting the flu. People who require immediate attention and arrive by ambulance are quickly whisked into a room. They're not filling out paperwork. The main hospital where I live, those undergoing any procedure are advised to enter by appointment, avoiding the emergency area. Elective surgeries have been rescheduled. This is why hospitals appear empty and why they are, indeed half empty. Mitigation efforts work. They have to slowly come to an end, granted, but nobody can justify the argument that Covid 19 is a hoax based on the success of a lockdown's success on hospital traffic.

Lockdown has prevented a surge in hospital admissions, absent a few hotspots, like Brooklyn.

Dr Buttar states that the company, Moderna, selected by 'Bill Gates' to manufacture the vaccine is over a billion dollars in the red and facing bankrupcy. (read as - DESPERATE)

He goes on to say that it's going to be the first RNA vaccine ever produced. RNA alters DNA. The trial humans for the vaccine have to abstain from sexual intercourse during the trial period. WHY ? . Dr Buttar suggests it's because they don't want us to find out too soon what effect it has on the next and subsequent generations produced after this vaccine has been administered. He suggests it could make them sterile.

I think it could be a lot of things, not just make them sterile.

Washington: Three members of the White House coronavirus task force, including Dr Anthony Fauci, have placed themselves in quarantine after contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

It's another stark reminder that not even one of the nation's most secure buildings is immune from the virus.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a leading member of the task force, has become nationally known for his simple and direct(Lies) explanations to the public about the coronavirus and COVID-19, the disease it causes.

Also quarantining are Dr Robert Redfield, director of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn.

Gates Offers Nigerian House of Reps $10 Million Bribe for Speedy Passage of Compulsory Coronavirus Vaccine Bill – Citizens Threaten Action to Stop It

https://vaccineimpact.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/05/Nigerian-Press-Conference.jpeg

"by Samson Atekojo Usman
Daily Post

Excerpts:

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), on Monday (May 4, 2020), alleged that it has intercepted a human intelligence report that the Nigeria House of Representatives leadership was poised to forcefully pass the compulsory vaccine bill without subjecting it to the traditions of legislative proceedings.

In a statement issued and signed by the spokesperson of the opposition political parties, Barrister Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere and sent to DAILY POST in Abuja on Monday, the body urged lawmakers in the lower chamber to rise against impunity.

The body in the statement alleged that a sum of $10 million was offered by the American Computer Czar, Bill Gates to influence the speedy passage of the bill without recourse to legislative public hearing, a development they averted as anachronistic, adding that the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila should be impeached if he forces the bill on members.

The statement read:

“Opposition Coalition (CUPP) has intercepted very credible intelligence and hereby alerts Nigerians of plans by the leadership of the House of Representatives led by Femi Gbajabiamila to forcefully and without adherence to the rules of lawmaking to pass the Control of Infectious Diseases Bill 2020 otherwise known as the Compulsory Vaccination Bill which is proposing a compulsory vaccination of all Nigerians even when the vaccines have not been discovered.

“This intelligence is coupled with the information of the alleged receipt, from sources outside the country but very interested in the Bill, of the sum of $10 million by the sponsors and promoters of the Bill to distribute among lawmakers to ensure a smooth passage of the Bill.

“The Nigeria opposition rejects the Bill and urges opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives to confront the Speaker of the House with these facts tomorrow at plenary and resist every plan to illegally pass the Bill.

“We have been informed that the alleged deal on the passage of the Bill was struck during a trip to Austria a few months back while the financial support for the promotion of the Bill was allegedly received last week to mobilize for a push leading to the hurried attempt to pass the Bill by any means necessary.

“Nigerians are reminded that at present, there is no discovered/approved vaccine anywhere in the world and one now begins to wonder why the hurry to pass a Bill for a compulsory vaccine when there is none.

“What if the world eventually does not find a vaccine or cure for coronavirus just like it has not found a cure for HIV AIDS? What is the hurry in passing a Bill based on speculation or is there anything else the leadership of the House would want to tell Nigerians? Is this bill what will stop the mass deaths and infections rising in Lagos, Kano, Abuja, Gombe, Borno, Kaduna, Ogun, Bauchi and indeed all over the country?

“Is this Bill going to revive and grow the economy and reduce hunger and give us more testing kits or bed spaces? Is this Bill going to stop the stealing of palliatives meant for poor and vulnerable Nigerians? Is it true that all these noises for the Bill is all for the alleged $10 million?

“Why make a law for a vaccine that has not been discovered? Does it mean that Femi Gbajabiamila and the promoters have an idea of the vaccine and when it will be ready? When nations like Madagascar are making local remedies which is working, APC is making a law to compulsorily inject Nigerians with vaccines our former slave masters have not yet discovered.

“The plan to push the passing of the bill is evil.”

“The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC did not make any contributions to the drafting of the Bill and has even told Femi Gbajabiamila to suspend the Bill as the timing is very wrong but Mr. Gbajabiamila believes he can secure the silence and acquiescence of the NCDC with all the illegal powers been provided for the NCDC in the Bill hence he still wants to push ahead with it the passage.

“We are saying loudly again and calling on House of Representatives to suspend this Control of Infectious Diseases Bill and await for proper input and scrutiny after the pandemic and charge all efforts towards giving the needed support to reduce the spread and find a homegrown solution.” "

Infectious Disease Bill: ‘Why the rush’ – Christian leaders blast Nigerian lawmakers
By Wale Odunsi
The Daily Post

"Excerpts:

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has kicked against the bill on Infectious Disease Control before the House of Representatives.

CAN, in a statement on Tuesday by General Secretary, Joseph Daramola, queried “the rush” to allow the bill to be passed into law with jet speed.

“The question in the hearts of many people is this: Why the rush when the vaccine is not available yet?,” they quipped.

The Christian leadership gave reasons it was against the moves by the Nigerian lawmakers.

CAN said the bill:

“was initiated to destroy the Civil and Human Rights of Nigerians; that it prevents Nigerians from having a say in their own affairs.”

“Among this denial of the fundamental human rights are: right to life, personal liberty, freedom from inhuman treatment, privacy, right to acquire/own property, freedom of movement and religion.”

“These rights are held sacred and invaluable except on clearly defined occasions as provided for by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

CAN reminded the federal legislators that the courts in Nigeria, on numerous occasions, struck out Acts of Parliaments and Legislation including Executive Orders of Governments, that were against fundamental human rights.

The body told them to:

“allow the Spirit of God to prevail over the primordial intentions and ambition; not to pass this controversial, nebulous and obnoxious bill into law in the overall interest of Nigerians”. "

COVID-19 is not the greatest crisis in our history. It is not even the greatest public health crisis in our history. But the lockdown is without doubt the greatest interference with personal liberty in our history.

It is normal at this point to add 'in peacetime'. But we can forget that. Even in wartime, we never confined the entire population to their homes, 24/7, if they did not have some excuse acceptable to a Minister.

States have always tried to confine people known to be carrying dangerous infections. But we live in a new world in which, if we are ill, the State will try to cure us. From this, it is said to follow that the State can take control of our lives against our will even if we are healthy, lest we fall ill and need its services too much.

Suddenly, it is our duty to save the NHS, not the other way round.

It is now pointless to object to the imposition of the lockdown in the first place. It has happened. The question is how we get out of it.

It is a pity that the Government did not ask itself that question when, in the blind panic following the delivery of Imperial College London's Professor Neil Ferguson's statistical projections, it legislated the lockdown on the hoof in a late-night press conference.

They now find themselves trapped by their own decisions.

Ministers have formulated five tests to be satisfied before the lockdown is lifted. What is wrong with these tests is that they are all about health and only about health.

The Government has formulated them in their own interest. They think that this will allow them to avoid criticism by sheltering behind the scientists. But that is just an evasion of political responsibility. Of course it is understandable that politicians should want to shelter themselves from criticism. But there is no reason why the rest of us should help them do it.

Ending the lockdown is a political decision, not a scientific one.

It boils down to a single question. Is it worth it? That depends only partly on the science. There are also moral judgments, constitutional values and economic consequences involved. But since the Government likes its tests to come in fives, here is a five-part test which tries to address the real issues.
LORD SUMPTION: What kind of relationship do we want with the State?
+3

LORD SUMPTION: What kind of relationship do we want with the State?

First, the medical issue. I am not going to argue about Professor Ferguson's projections. They have caused some discomfort among reputable professionals. They are based on some rather arbitrary assumptions. And they leave out of the account important considerations, such as the adverse health consequences of the lockdown itself or the number of people who would have died anyway from underlying clinical conditions even without Covid-19, maybe a few months later. But let us take it as a given, since it is probably true, that the lockdown will save a significant number of lives, albeit fewer than Professor Ferguson projects.

Second, we need to ask how many deaths we are prepared to accept in order to preserve other things that we value. However valuable 'saving lives' may be, it is not the only valuable thing. Some comparison is therefore unavoidable between the lives we gain and the other things we lose by a lockdown.

To say that life is priceless and nothing else counts is just empty rhetoric. People say it because it is emotionally comfortable and avoids awkward dilemmas. But they don't actually believe it.

We went to war in 1939 because lives were worth losing for liberty. We allow cars on the roads because lives are worth losing for convenience. We travel by air although pollution kills. We tut-tut about it, but we willingly do it.

Third question. What sort of life do we think we are protecting? There is more to life than the avoidance of death. Life is a drink with friends. Life is a crowded football match or a live concert. Life is a family celebration with children and grandchildren. Life is companionship, an arm around one's back, laughter or tears shared at less than two metres. These things are not just optional extras. They are life itself. They are fundamental to our humanity, to our existence as social beings. Of course death is permanent, whereas joy may be temporarily suspended. But the force of that point depends on how temporary it really is.

Viruses don't just go away. This one will never disappear unless and until there is enough exposure to it to produce collective immunity or an effective vaccine appears.

Talk of compulsorily 'shielding' (in plain English locking up) the old and vulnerable until one of those things happens is a cruel mockery of basic human values.

Fourth, there is the money question. People decry attempts to measure the mortality of Covid-19 against the economic cost of reducing it. But this too is rhetoric, and hypocritical rhetoric at that.

Money is not just for plutocrats. You and I and the editor of The Guardian and the driver of the No 9 bus and the Archbishop of Canterbury and the cashier at the supermarket all value and depend on money.

Not just in the sense that it pays our wages or pensions. Hundreds of thousands of businesses are going under. Millions are moving from jobs to universal credit. A thriving economy, of the kind that we are now throwing away, is the source of our security and the foundation of our children's future.

We would do well not to sneer at it. Poverty kills too. And when it does not kill, it maims, mentally, physically and socially.

Last but not least, we have to ask ourselves what are the limits to the things that the State can legitimately do to people against their will in a liberal democracy.

To say that there are no limits is the stuff of tyrants. Every despot who ever lived thought that he was coercing his subjects for their own good or that of society at large.

One of the more impressive observations of the Swedish epidemiologist Professor Johann Giesecke, in the interview in which he justified Sweden's refusal to lock its people down, was not about epidemiology at all.

His point was that there are some things that may work and that a totalitarian state like China can do. But a country like Sweden with its long liberal tradition cannot do them unless it wants to become like China.

We, too, have to ask ourselves what kind of relationship we want with the State. Do we really want to be the kind of society where basic freedoms are conditional on the decisions of politicians in thrall to scientists and statisticians? Where human beings are just tools of public policy?

A society in which the Government can confine most of the population without controversy is not one in which civilised people would want to live, regardless of their answers to these questions. Is it worth it?

My own answer is no. Guidance is fine. Voluntary self-isolation is fine, and strongly advisable for the more vulnerable. Most of them will do it by choice. But coercion is not fine. There is no moral or principled justification for it.

Not everyone will agree, which is fair enough. These are difficult value judgments, on which one would not expect general agreement.

The fundamental point is that these questions need to be confronted and publicly discussed by politicians without the kind of emotive evasions, propagandist slogans and generalised hype that have characterised their contribution so far.

President Tanzania "caught WHO on lie": "We sent samples of a goat and a papaya"

Some African leaders are suspicious of the World Health Organization (WHO). Tanzania President John Magufuli decided to test the reliability of the organization.
He sent the national laboratory of Tanzania samples of a goat, a papaya and a quail without telling where the samples came from. He then commissioned the lab to perform corona tests.
The samples are said to have tested positive for the virus. Magufuli subsequently fired the director of the lab and expelled the Tanzanian WHO envoy from the country.
Nasty game

There are two options: the coronavirus is much more contagious than scientists think and can even infect goats and papayas, or the WHO test results are incorrect. Therefore, if corona tests are found to be unreliable, people tested positive may not need to be sick.
The results show, according to Magufuli, that a "dirty game" is being played and that researchers are bribed to provide positive test results.
In Tanzania, 509 corona cases and 21 corona deaths have been reported to date

Bill Gates, HR6666, Remdesivir, Deaths in Italy
by Jon Rappoport
May 12, 2020
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/05/12/bill-gates-hr-6666-remdesivir-deaths-in-italy/

"Each of these subjects deserves its own article. Bill Gates would require a library of thick volumes. I don’t have the time to write separate pieces, since I’m also busy with other research on the fake pandemic.

So I’ll hit the highlights.

BILL GATES: Here, from FAIR, the long-standing media-watch group, is a September 4, 2016, article, “This Guardian piece touting Bill Gates’ education investment brought to you by Bill Gates.” It adds a layer of explanation about Gates’ Death Star:

“The Gates Foundation gives grants in the hundreds of thousands and often millions to such media organizations as NBCUniversal, Al Jazeera, BBC, Viacom (CBS) and Participant Media (the producer of pro-charter school documentary Waiting for Superman). Both Gates and the Gates Foundation are sizable shareholders in Comcast, which is the primary investor in Buzzfeed and Vox, as well the parent corporation of MSNBC and NBC News—the latter of which teamed up with Gates and other noted education experts like Exxon and University of Phoenix Online for the week-long charter school commercial ‘Education Week’.”

“In 2009, the New York Times reported that the Gates Foundation was partnering with media companies to write and shape stories to ‘embed’ messages in primetime dramas:”

“’It [the Gates Foundation] is less well known as a behind-the-scenes influencer of public attitudes toward these issues by helping to shape story lines and insert messages into popular entertainment like the television shows ER, Law & Order: SVU and Private Practice. The foundation’s messages on HIV prevention, surgical safety AND THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES have found their way into these shows.” [CAPS are mine]

“His enormous wealth and the reach of media parent corporations seem to exempt Gates from routine disclosure requirements. He was offered up as an education expert in the pro-charter Waiting for Superman, without any mention of the fact that he donated at least $2 million to the film and had a media partnership with its distributor, Viacom. He is given softball interviews in Comcast-backed Vox without disclosure that he’s a major Comcast investor. Because his stake in media companies is laundered enough times, it’s assumed not to merit mention.”

“In the case of the Guardian, Gates effectively owns an entire vertical, so when one of his investments is written up, one doesn’t notice the conflict of interest—like a fish doesn’t notice water. Because his influence is everywhere, it appears to be nowhere.”

HR6666: This aptly numbered bill is moving forward in the US House Energy and Commerce Committee. Titled TRACE, “Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone,” it officially embeds the snitch culture—with benefits for new agents of the State:

“To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes.”

“The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, to trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of such contacts…”

HR6666 funds this enterprise to the tune of “$100,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2020; and such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal year 2021 and any subsequent fiscal year during which the emergency period continues.”

Why don’t they simply advertise: “Have you always wanted to run around like a little fascist, targeting the unwary, the sheep, the outliers, the rebels, the dissenters? Here’s your chance. The State will pay you to do it. Who knows? Maybe the government will design a uniform for you, embroidered with the logo of a skull or a virus with spikes.”

REMDESIVIR: This is the Fauci COVID drug. He wants the antiviral to hit the market yesterday. At the Alliance for Human Research and Protection (ahrp.org), an article points to the fraud:

“Fauci’s Promotional Hype Catapults Gilead’s Remdesivir”: “[On 4/29], Gilead [the manufacturer of remdesivir] issued a press release announcing that it ‘was aware of positive data emerging from [a] National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) study’.” [Gilead provided assistance on study design and conduct to NIAID.]

“Based on the ‘positive data’ from the NIAID study, the Food and Drug Administration approved emergency use of remdesivir against COVID-19 on May 1.”

“…Dr. Anthony Fauci, who heads the President’s Coronavirus Task Force, and heads the NIAID, since 1984, has a vested interest in remdesivir. He sponsored the [NIAID] clinical trial whose detailed results have not been peer-reviewed. What’s more, [on May 1] HE declared the tenuous results to be ‘highly significant,’ and pronounced remdesivir to be the new ‘standard of care.’”

“Dr. Fauci made the promotional pronouncement while sitting on a couch in the White House, without providing a detailed news release; without a briefing at a medical meeting or in a scientific journal – as is the norm and practice, to allow scientists and researchers to review the data.”

“What Dr. Fauci failed to disclose to the public in his promotional pronouncement was that the [list of] primary outcomes [measures for success or failure] of the [NAID] study [NCT04280705] were changed on April 16, 2020. Changes in the Primary Outcome are posted on Clinical Trials.gov.”

“Changing primary outcomes [measures] after a study has commenced is considered dubious and suspicious.”

“Reuters News reported that highly respected prominent leaders in the medical community — such as Steven Nissen, MD, the chief academic officer at the Cleveland Clinic and Eric Topol, MD, director and founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California – were unimpressed by remdesivir’s tentative, modest benefit at best.”

“…the NIAID-Gilead study results have not been published in peer-reviewed literature – nor have details of the findings been disclosed. However, they were publicly promoted by the head of the federal agency that conducted the study, from the White House. What better free advertisement?”

So…take this admittedly toxic drug. Convincing data? No need. Just trust Fauci. Like other drugs of its type, remdesivir inhibits the machinery of cell-reproduction in the body.

DEATHS IN ITALY: I have reported on this con in the past. Italy’s own National Institute of Health has been combing through the records of patients who have died. Their average age? 79.5. And the overwhelming percentage of these people were already suffering from multiple, long-term, serious health conditions—and had certainly been treated with a number of toxic medical drugs. Claiming their deaths stemmed from the purported COVID-19 virus would be absurd.

Add to these facts the horrendous air pollution in areas of Northern Italy. Toxic air can easily explain the lung conditions attributed to the virus.

In recent years, the annual number of flu cases in Italy averages roughly five million. It’s a simple matter to label some of these people COVID-19.

I’ve also indicated that vaccination campaigns could account for destruction of health in Northern Italy. I have a few possible clues in that regard.

Colorado Naturopathic Doctor, Michael Murray writes: “Could a new flu vaccine be partly responsible for the COVID-19 mortality rate in Italy?…My colleague, Dr. Alex Vazquez, provided me with a valuable insight. In September 2019, Italy rolled out an entirely new type of influenza vaccine. This vaccine called VIQCC is different than others. Most available influenza vaccines are produced in embryonated chicken eggs. VIQCC, however, is produced from cultured animal cells rather than eggs and has more of a ‘boost’ to the immune system as a result. VIQCC also contains four types of viruses – 2 type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and 2 type B viruses…”

Well-known Italian writer, Br. Alexis Bugnolo, states: “Italians are still trying to understand why Bergamo, of all the cities of Italy, is the epicenter of the Coronavirus epidemic…”

“One factor may be that the city was vaccinated en mass not once, but twice, in the 2 months preceding the Coronavirus outbreak in the city.”

In the fall [2019], according to records 141,000 doses of vaccine against the winter flu were administered by the local health board. Of those, 129,000 were Italians over 65 years of age. Of those, 129,000, 70% had grave heart problems.”

“Then, again, in December, from the 24th through to January, there was a mass vaccination program against Hepatitis-C of 21,331 citizens of Bergamo. And in the surrounding province, another 12,000 citizens.”

At doctorsinitaly.com: “In September 2019 was made available for the first time in Italy a ‘cell-based’ flu shot, called VIQCC or QIVc, that is produced from cultured animal cells rather than eggs.”

“VIQCC is a quadrivalent flu vaccine that contains 2 type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and 2 type B viruses. It is approved for people ages 9 and older.”

ANY vaccines given to people whose immune systems are already weakened—such as the elderly and infirm—are automatically dangerous and life-threatening at a high level. Two vaccines within the space of a few months, one of which has added new viral material and/or a variety of new cellular and genetic debris—plus the usual toxic chemicals—and you have a potential recipe for disaster."

The Office Is Dead

Jeff Haynie, the CEO of Austin-based software company Pinpoint, was gearing up to find new office space. Pinpoint’s $25,000-per-month lease with WeWork for 1,800 square feet would be up in August, and it was time to move on. He was thinking he’d need maybe 10,000 square feet for his growing company, which makes software for programmers.
Then the pandemic hit, and along with it, the enforced work-from-home orders, and Haynie began questioning his figures. A survey he conducted a month in revealed that roughly half of the company’s 27 Austin employees would be perfectly happy to continue working from home. Maybe Pinpoint could get by with 3,000 or 5,000 square feet — less than half the amount of space he’d thought he needed — foregoing desks for basically a conference room and a little collaborative working space. And maybe, given that fewer employees might need to commute regularly or during rush hour, it could be in a neighborhood far cheaper than the Domain, the hot tech cluster where Facebook and Amazon also have offices. “It’s not something I was even thinking about six weeks ago, but it’s definitely something I’ve been talking about now with my investors,” Haynie says. “Overall it’s a win-win.”
This is just the tip of the iceberg. From startups and tech giants to more old-school Wall Street firms, businesses are rethinking the role of office space and whether they even need it. If, in the old world, an office was a form of corporate peacocking — a flashy location in some iconic building with a boutique-hotel level of design for clients, employees, customers, and investors— in the new world, it is becoming a very costly line item that could be reduced to the equivalent of a single flagship store. Instead of a sprawling, capital-intensive, real-world footprint, all the work can be done virtually, with one scaled-down symbolic home base left for critical face-to-face conversations, like meeting with clients or wooing talent. Perhaps in a space not much bigger than your average Le Pain Quotidien.
It’s something no one could have foreseen three months ago. After a decade of economic expansion, commercial rents had risen to an average of nearly $30 per square foot, or 3.4% over last year, according to an April report from Newmark Knight Frank, a New York-based commercial real estate brokerage firm with offices in some 100 U.S. cities. Many companies had an aversion to remote work — IBM, for one, canceled working from home in 2017 — and few had the technology or infrastructure to make it work seamlessly. IBM was hardly alone: At the outset of the crisis, remote work evangelist and Basecamp co-founder David Heinemeier Hansson Twitter-shamed dozens of companies — including Accenture, ATT, Cognizant, Epic Systems, Tesla, SpaceX, and Wells Fargo — for dragging their heels in allowing employees work from home.

HR6666: This aptly numbered bill is moving forward in the US House Energy and Commerce Committee. Titled TRACE, “Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone,” it officially embeds the snitch culture—with benefits for new agents of the State:

The better expression would be "referred to committee", and the "forward" part would be if it comes out unchanged, or what may change.

It is not a grant to a particular entity, but it is a grant for only one purpose, diagnostic testing.

I am not convinced this has much value.

The sphere of collaborators who finds this a necessary use of the funds is:

Mr. Rush (for himself, Ms. Barragán, Ms. Bass, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Brown of Maryland, Mr. Butterfield, Mr. Cárdenas, Mr. Carson of Indiana, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Correa, Mr. Cuellar, Ms. DeGette, Mrs. Demings, Mr. Gonzalez of Texas, Mr. Grijalva, Mr. Hastings, Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Higgins of New York, Ms. Kaptur, Mr. Khanna, Ms. Kuster of New Hampshire, Mr. Larson of Connecticut, Mr. Lynch, Ms. McCollum, Ms. Moore, Ms. Norton, Mr. Payne, Mr. Raskin, Mr. Rouda, Mr. Ryan, Mr. Sarbanes, Ms. Sewell of Alabama, Mr. Sires, Mr. Soto, Ms. Tlaib, Mr. Thompson of Mississippi, Mr. Van Drew, Ms. Velázquez, Ms. Wasserman Schultz, and Mrs. Napolitano) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

I already believe in a type of contact tracing, but, it is one where we comb for conflicts of interest, financial affairs, and participation in interlocking directorates and other forms of cronyism.

Most bills do not have that many sponsors, like 6656 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6656/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22hr6656%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=8) which grants disability and medical coverage to TSA employees, and, oh, covers their legal fees. 6657 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6657/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22hr6657%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=7) gouges Forestry, the Peace Corps, a few specifically-named universities, and no less than NASA.

Vitamin D Deficiency Is Associated with COVID-19 Severity and Mortality
MAY 12, 2020
By Katie Weisman and the Children’s Health Defense Team
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/vitamin-d-deficiency-is-associated-with-covid-19-severity-and-mortality/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=9da857ee-6a88-4a93-8f69-5faae06efca4

"On April 7th, we proposed that Vitamin D might be important in COVID-19 infections based on the timing of the pandemic and the “at risk” populations. We cited literature showing that Vitamin D sufficiency reduced the risk of acute respiratory infections and the severity of infection by other viruses. We found several studies using high-dose Vitamin D in patients on ventilators that showed improved outcomes including decreased mortality. A month ago, we called for more research.https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/covid-19-and-vitamin-d-could-we-be-missing-something-simple/
Now, new studies in COVID-19 patients suggest Vitamin D sufficiency might reduce disease severity and death.

The Associations are Strong
On April 9th, initial data from the Philippines https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3571484on 212 confirmed COVID-19 patients showed that Vitamin D status was strongly associated with severity of COVID-19. The study sorted patients into 4 categories of severity based on criteria established in Wuhan. The levels were:

Mild – Mild clinical features without pneumonia
Ordinary – Confirmed pneumonia by CT with fever and other respiratory symptoms
Severe – Hypoxia (low oxygen) and respiratory distress
Critical – Respiratory failure requiring intensive care monitoring.
In the analysis, 85.5% of patients with sufficient (>30ng/ml) Vitamin D had mild cases while 72.8% of patients who were deficient in Vitamin D (<20ng/ml) had severe or critical cases.

On April 26th, a second retrospective study came out of Indonesia. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3585561 This larger study investigated Vitamin D status in 780 confirmed COVID-19 cases. The researchers collected data on Vitamin D status, age, sex and the presence of comorbidities along with mortality data. The study confirmed what we know—that male patients, those over age 50, and those with pre-existing conditions were all significantly more likely to die of COVID-19. However, the most dramatic finding was that patients with Vitamin D insufficiency (between 20 and 30 ng/ml) were 12.55 times more likely to die and patients with Vitamin D deficiency (<20ng/ml) were 19.12 times more likely to die from the disease than patients with sufficient Vitamin D.

Since age, sex and comorbidities can also be associated with Vitamin D deficiency, the researchers then did an adjusted analysis. The key finding is that, even after controlling for age, sex and having a comorbidity, “When compared to cases with normal Vitamin D status, death was approximately 10.12 times more likely for Vitamin D deficient cases.”

Strikingly, 100% of ICU patients less than 75 years old had Vitamin D insufficiency.
A third small study out of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center dated April 24th, examined Vitamin D insufficiency (VDI) in severe COVID-19 patients and discussed possible Vitamin D-related mechanisms for the coagulopathy and immune responses that are being seen. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.24.20075838v1.full.pdf It stated that, “Among ICU subjects, 11 (84.6%) had VDI, vs. 4 (57.1%) of floor subjects. Strikingly, 100% of ICU patients less than 75 years old had VDI.” The study is limited by its small sample size but is consistent with the above studies.

In an excellent 2018 review paper on Vitamin D in critical care, the authors stated, “Vitamin D deficiency is common in critical illness with prevalence between 40 and 70%.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6240147/pdf/EC-18-0184.pdfThey continue, “Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be associated with sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute kidney injury and three different meta-analyses confirm that patients with low Vitamin D status have a longer ICU stay and increased morbidity and mortality.”

More recently, in another review paper (2020) investigating the potential links between Vitamin D status and risk of Influenza and COVID-19, the authors point out that, “Through several mechanisms, Vitamin D can reduce the risk of infections. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32252338/Those mechanisms include inducing cathelicidins and defensins that can lower viral replication rates and reducing concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines that produce the inflammation that injures the lining of the lungs, leading to pneumonia.” Cathelicidins and defensins are molecules your body produces to protect you against bacteria, viruses and fungi and modulate your immune system.

If Vitamin D can reduce severity of COVID-19, it is a potential game-changer.
Why Vitamin D Should Be Studied in Large Clinical Trials
Currently, only Remdesivir has been FDA approved for severe cases of COVID-19. It is an IV pro-drug (the drug is a precursor; the body creates the active compound) that is both expensive at a potential price of $4500 per patient and challenging to scale up quickly. The NIAID/NIH Remdesivir trial was double-blinded and placebo-controlled. Participants had to test positive for the virus and have evidence of lung problems. Remdesivir improved time to recovery (discharge from the hospital or ability to return to normal activity) by 4 days, from 15 days to 11 days. However, the overall survival difference in the trial did not reach statistical significance (8% mortality in the treatment group, 11.6% in the placebo group). So, Remdesivir is unlikely to be a significant factor in the U.S. or the solution on a global scale.

By contrast, Vitamin D is free from the sun and widely available. It is inexpensive in typical supplements and costs about $100 for a typical IV formulation which may be needed for patients with kidney disease. It is manufactured around the globe and is not subject to patent restrictions. Its safety is well-established and understood. If Vitamin D can reduce severity of COVID-19, it is a potential game-changer. Taking the pressure off of hospitals and health care workers, protecting our elderly, veterans and prisoners, and preventing a resurgence of hospitalizations and deaths are all on the table.

An April 28th press release from the Medical University of South Carolina is encouraging. https://abcnews4.com/news/coronavirus/musc-vitamin-d-research-team-to-study-connection-to-covid-19-prevention-and-treatment Long-time Vitamin D researchers, Bruce Hollis, PhD, and Dr. Carol Wagner, are starting to study COVID-19. Hollis and Wagner have recently been studying the impact of Vitamin D in pregnancy and during breast-feeding on infant outcomes. They have over 60 years of combined experience with Vitamin D research.

There are currently 10 clinical trials including Vitamin D for COVID-19, some in addition to standard therapies and some in specific combinations with other drugs and supplements. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=COVID&term=%22vitamin+d%22&cntry=&state=&city=&dist=Unfortunately, several of these trials are not well-designed to show significant outcomes because the doses proposed are fairly low.

The Bottom Line
Vitamin D might be a game changer, reducing deaths and disease severity. Vitamin D from sunshine is free and regular exposure for 20 minutes a day this time of year will provide about 1000 IU for people living in mid-latitudes who expose about 30% of their body surface. Vitamin D is available to almost everyone, even the poorest and recently unemployed. Populations that can’t get outside easily (the elderly, prison populations, indoor workers) may need Vitamin D supplements to achieve sufficient blood levels. We should work towards testing Vitamin D levels in those populations to ensure that they are sufficient.

Please share this information; it might save a life."

It seems there are 10K deaths in care homes that have gone down as unexplained.
They have not been put down as due to the virus
Thats a good sign.
Are Drs refusing to put the virus as cause of death?

In truth. treat people the way the elderly in care homes are being treated -- they might just say--no quality of life, I must as well let go and die.

The next ‘wave’ is symptomatic of folk postponing symptoms, folk not going for treatment, the ‘delayed deaths’ due to lock-down, and of course the broken hearts of those in care homes deprived of any vestige of family contact, a travesty of this inhuman strategy forcefully promoted with absolutely no interests in our wellbeing. Profit. Even damning them to hell will do no good, as they are from there.

Please.
Sign the appeal

Veritas liberabit vos.
Jn 8:32

In this time of great crisis, we Pastors of the Catholic Church, by virtue of our mandate, consider it our sacred duty to make an Appeal to our Brothers in the Episcopate, to the Clergy, to Religious, to the holy People of God and to all men and women of good will. This Appeal has also been undersigned by intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, journalists and professionals who agree with its content, and may be undersigned by those who wish to make it their own.

The facts have shown that, under the pretext of the Covid-19 epidemic, the inalienable rights of citizens have in many cases been violated and their fundamental freedoms, including the exercise of freedom of worship, expression and movement, have been disproportionately and unjustifiably restricted. Public health must not, and cannot, become an alibi for infringing on the rights of millions of people around the world, let alone for depriving the civil authority of its duty to act wisely for the common good. This is particularly true as growing doubts emerge from several quarters about the actual contagiousness, danger and resistance of the virus. Many authoritative voices in the world of science and medicine confirm that the media’s alarmism about Covid-19 appears to be absolutely unjustified.

We have reason to believe, on the basis of official data on the incidence of the epidemic as related to the number of deaths, that there are powers interested in creating panic among the world’s population with the sole aim of permanently imposing unacceptable forms of restriction on freedoms, of controlling people and of tracking their movements. The imposition of these illiberal measures is a disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond all control.

We also believe that in some situations the containment measures that were adopted, including the closure of shops and businesses, have precipitated a crisis that has brought down entire sectors of the economy. This encourages interference by foreign powers and has serious social and political repercussions. Those with governmental responsibility must stop these forms of social engineering, by taking measures to protect their citizens whom they represent, and in whose interests they have a serious obligation to act. Likewise, let them help the family, the cell of society, by not unreasonably penalizing the weak and elderly, forcing them into a painful separation from their loved ones. The criminalization of personal and social relationships must likewise be judged as an unacceptable part of the plan of those who advocate isolating individuals in order to better manipulate and control them.

We ask the scientific community to be vigilant, so that cures for Covid-19 are offered in honesty for the common good. Every effort must be made to ensure that shady business interests do not influence the choices made by government leaders and international bodies. It is unreasonable to penalize those remedies that have proved to be effective, and are often inexpensive, just because one wishes to give priority to treatments or vaccines that are not as good, but which guarantee pharmaceutical companies far greater profits, and exacerbate public health expenditures. Let us also remember, as Pastors, that for Catholics it is morally unacceptable to develop or use vaccines derived from material from aborted fetuses.

We also ask government leaders to ensure that forms of control over people, whether through tracking systems or any other form of location-finding, are rigorously avoided. The fight against Covid-19, however serious, must not be the pretext for supporting the hidden intentions of supranational bodies that have very strong commercial and political interests in this plan. In particular, citizens must be given the opportunity to refuse these restrictions on personal freedom, without any penalty whatsoever being imposed on those who do not wish to use vaccines, contact tracking or any other similar tool. Let us also consider the blatant contradiction of those who pursue policies of drastic population control and at the same time present themselves as the savior of humanity, without any political or social legitimacy. Finally, the political responsibility of those who represent the people can in no way be left to “experts” who can indeed claim a kind of immunity from prosecution, which is disturbing to say the least.

We strongly urge those in the media to commit themselves to providing accurate information and not penalizing dissent by resorting to forms of censorship, as is happening widely on social media, in the press and on television. Providing accurate information requires that room be given to voices that are not aligned with a single way of thinking. This allows citizens to consciously assess the facts, without being heavily influenced by partisan interventions. A democratic and honest debate is the best antidote to the risk of imposing subtle forms of dictatorship, presumably worse than those our society has seen rise and fall in the recent past.

Finally, as Pastors responsible for the flock of Christ, let us remember that the Church firmly asserts her autonomy to govern, worship, and teach. This autonomy and freedom are an innate right that Our Lord Jesus Christ has given her for the pursuit of her proper ends. For this reason, as Pastors we firmly assert the right to decide autonomously on the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments, just as we claim absolute autonomy in matters falling within our immediate jurisdiction, such as liturgical norms and ways of administering Communion and the Sacraments. The State has no right to interfere, for any reason whatsoever, in the sovereignty of the Church. Ecclesiastical authorities have never refused to collaborate with the State, but such collaboration does not authorize civil authorities to impose any sort of ban or restriction on public worship or the exercise of priestly ministry. The rights of God and of the faithful are the supreme law of the Church, which she neither intends to, nor can, abdicate. We ask that restrictions on the celebration of public ceremonies be removed.

We should like to invite all people of good will not to shirk their duty to cooperate for the common good, each according to his or her own state and possibilities and in a spirit of fraternal charity. The Church desires such cooperation, but this cannot disregard either a respect for natural law or a guarantee of individual freedoms. The civil duties to which citizens are bound imply the State’s recognition of their rights.

We are all called to assess the current situation in a way consistent with the teaching of the Gospel. This means taking a stand: either with Christ or against Christ. Let us not be intimidated or frightened by those who would have us believe that we are a minority: Good is much more widespread and powerful than the world would have us believe. We are fighting against an invisible enemy that seeks to divide citizens, to separate children from their parents, grandchildren from their grandparents, the faithful from their pastors, students from teachers, and customers from vendors. Let us not allow centuries of Christian civilization to be erased under the pretext of a virus, and an odious technological tyranny to be established, in which nameless and faceless people can decide the fate of the world by confining us to a virtual reality. If this is the plan to which the powers of this earth intend to make us yield, know that Jesus Christ, King and Lord of History, has promised that “the gates of Hell shall not prevail” (Mt 16:18).

Let us entrust government leaders and all those who rule over the fate of nations to Almighty God, that He may enlighten and guide them in this time of great crisis. May they remember that, just as the Lord will judge us Pastors for the flock which he has entrusted to us, so will He also judge government leaders for the peoples whom they have the duty to defend and govern.

With faith, let us beseech the Lord to protect the Church and the world. May the Blessed Virgin, Help of Christians, crush the head of the ancient Serpent and defeat the plans of the children of darkness.

Watching the case numbers in the UK and elsewhere at the moment and while Wuhan is readying to test about 11 million people in near future, i saw clearly the real numbers of people carrying this virus have to be at least 5 times bigger in untested population while most are asymptomatic and some may develop temporary immunity,
the rest of transmission can not be exactly “controlled” no matter what is claimed.

That’s possibly million people in the UK, not 232 000.

If you observe the graph of the growth of the viral transmission of Covid 19, you see it’s rising exponentially, steep up. The so called “flattening of the curve” as propagated by various political media is a bogus since we are unable to test people everyday and repeatedly or all of them.

The graph merely reflects the natural ability of the viral spread in this case that happens much faster than we can detect it.

It’s not “really” declining quite yet at the moment, no matter whether lockdowns are kept or broken. Of course that isolating yourself from about everybody does help but no one can do it absolutely or forever and other than that, logically seen, there are no guarantees.

It’s a kind of [another] bio hack of our immunity. Some will be “tweaked” by it, some people are immune, others perish. It’s multivariable scenario because it’s complex virus and as human beings we are indefinitely complex ourselves.

For explanation and as a footnote to my previous post but I will try to be brief,

common mistake shared by British and other global media that kind of sinks to minds of non biologists who are still in majority on this planet is a confusion of virus/viral disease and an idea of one to one transmission.

The “virus” is not a one animal that jumps around your neck and replicates to other few animals. No single virus is capable of it.

What we are commonly witnessing with wide spread viruses they are more precisely @viral colonies” with billions of fast replicating members acting in unison as kind of an AI.
They spread in clouds of viral colonies, not by passing an individual specimen to somebody.

When you are infected, the severity of your viral disease will always depend on how large a cloud- viral colony- has entered your biofield,
secondly, whether the particular colony found you an acceptable host.

If your inner environment is not attractive or conflicting with the chemistry of the particular RNA, the colony may die or still be passed to anybody else without being noticed.
It’s a case of super fast transmission that occurs commonly with flu for example with some people in family, school etc getting infected others not. In reality everyone is co-infected at some point but we don’t necessarily become super spreaders because our inner environment gets rid off or kills the viral RNA chemical information to the grit.

If the virus finds you an acceptable hosts and starts breaking your DNA and replicating only then we say that you are clinically “infected” and potentially testable for presence of the viral colony and/or immunity response.

Again, both presence of the viral colony and immunity response can be detected only after it started replicating to testable numbers.

Normally, we all have large microbiome of various bacteria and viruses living within our bio field that are very diverse but small in members so they don’t pose big danger until - they would meet others like them.

Once the colony grows sufficiently big enough to cause any response or be transmitted to other people it lives like a cloud in your biofield.
That’s about anywhere around you. No it can’t be exactly “contained” under face mask and during the early stages of epidemics in Wuhan it showed it can’t be exactly contained in biosuits either : unless they would be 4 level biohazard suits : those are probably very expensive and the mortality of the epidemics does not necessarily warrantee using them.

Quite like with winter flu, it was observed many times may infect you by standing in someone’s back in the supermarket even while keeping “social distance”.
Since we speak of viral colonies and clouds of them those that are airborne and most of them have the capacity once they adopt to life out of water as oxygenated environment clearly enhances their growth,
they can travel ten or more meters in distance especially in heated rooms and spaces and those with fans and air conditioning, air flows.

So “social distancing” is a questionable measure as long as people gather together in places like classrooms, public traffic etc.

If you think of yourself as standing in the centre of closed space, and being infected with growing viral colony, the average chance is 4 people to one being passed an infection. It may be more of them depending on how far has your colony progressed growing.
Among the nearest 4 people you have potentially met in that stage some may have good immune response or be otherwise inhospitable to the virus.

But, others who carry a new fastly developing colony away keep passing it further and so forth.

The reason why we don’t want to get infected with any virus is not only or precisely it would kill us but it is in nature of aggressive viruses to attack and corrupt portions of our DNA information some of which does not restore but remains coded as such, for the rest of our lifetime potentially passed as such to next generations.

Since the original template for human DNA does not exist as such- in itself being diverse mutation with countless variables you may “believe” in evolutionary benefit of restoring g yourself to new and better state after acquiring the virus but such a faith can’t be guaranteed.
In more practically observable cases, any aggressive viral infection slows our capacity
to develop better immune response in future or “live long and prosper”.

What we all generally try to do ahead other than self isolating is turning ourselves inhospitable to the viral invasion and of course, cleaning our whereabouts more than regularly which is often the very best measure to get rid of it in stage 1.

Unanswered Questions: Welcome to the World of Oxford Ethics
MAY 13, 2020
By John Stone, UK Editor, Age of Autism
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/unanswered-questions-welcome-to-the-world-of-oxford-ethics/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=f99d680c-1859-4acd-8317-4c4c004e521d

"Recently, the somewhat notorious Oxford bio-ethicist, Alberto Giubilini, posted a blog on the Oxford University web-journal Practical Ethics. Giubilini, was advocating in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, both for the compulsory tracking of global citizens and their compulsory vaccination (which was already a favourite theme of his before the advent of COVID-19). To the credit of the journal and Dr. Giubilini, I was able to post comments on the blog. Perhaps, less to their credit I have yet to receive an answer. This was my first comment:

Alberto

I have never understood with you bio-ethicists what it is you are doing except privileging your own opinions, often as not licensing the powerful to do what they want to the less powerful. And while there may be some conceivable benefit to licensing – as it were – this or that medical intervention you always seem over-optimistic about how it is monitored. Frankly, a scientist engaged in developing a product is going to be naturally dismissive of harms. As far as I can see you are playing a game in which the scientists are heroes and anyone who protests they have been hurt (or someone close to them) is trash almost by virtue of opening their mouths. But in fact there are myriads of ways that a product can go wrong, often quite frequently and admitted by the manufacturer (if not always disclosed by those administering). For instance, I have recently been referring to the Bexsero PIL which according to the U.K. schedule could give 3 in 1000 children Kawasaki Disease.

Let’s say with this present project that by the autumn, or even the end of next year, we will have little idea how to balance the danger of COVID-19 against the manifold products and simply professions of good intent will scarcely be enough. These products may well have the potential even to do immutable harm to human stock. Meanwhile, you are demanding that the population surrender rights over their bodies in perpetuity to inherently fallible bureaucracies and powerful industrial interests. I don’t see how you have knowledge to do that (or the reasoned acumen) and I don’t see where traditional checks and balances are engaged which could offer reasonable reassurance – frankly the agencies have been captured.

… in the event of a bad reaction the parents will probably just receive advice from the GP to give acetaminophen and go away and stop making a fuss – but they may have to deal with the consequences for the rest of their lives.
The second addresses Giubilini’s response to the challenge of another commenter. Giubilini had written as follows:

Thanks for the link. For the UK, that amounts to about 900 claims in over 40 years. Some of those vaccines are no longer in use and 40 years ago we knew less about risk groups. Today vaccines are not administered to groups at risk. Safety is basically 100%. If you look at the same document, you will see that the risks of non-vaccination are vastly larger. 20 million of cases of measles and thousands of deaths have been prevented in the UK alone thanks to the vaccine for instance.

As for the US, the document says that in 75% of cases compensation has been paid without the causal connection having been proved, but they were just settlements to minimize the time and expense of litigating a case and the desire to resolve a petition quickly. Even considering this, 1 individual was compensated every million doses of vaccine. That makes 0.000025% compensations with causal connections.

To which I replied:

Alberto

I think the safety is more hearsay (as is the care). When the reputation of the programme was under pressure 40 years ago from the media the British government introduced an award scheme and quickly compensated 600 cases but I don’t think they started showing more care – they didn’t remove the product for a further quarter of a century and they accelerated the delivery in 1990 so infants were getting it younger. They did not seek out those infants especially at risk, they just stopped awarding when the pressure was off. You can damage a lot of babies without getting to the point of statistical significance: in the event of a bad reaction the parents will probably just receive advice from the GP to give acetaminophen and go away and stop making a fuss – but they may have to deal with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

I also recall a BMJ on-line correspondence in which Profs Larson, Offit and Plotkin failed to respond when asked to produce the gold standard vaccine double blind placebo safety trials when challenged by Profs Exley, Healey and my lesser self, and we remain to be enlightened. For that matter why would the extreme professional harassment of Prof Exley continue if powerful interests were genuinely concerned about product safety? What do you know about aluminium adjuvants?

We await an answer (one might think it was an ethicist’s or a philosopher’s job to discuss things rather than walk away). Alberto, it may be said, is not good at babies. In 2011 he co-authored an article arguing that full-term babies were not people and as such could be killed (presumably they could also be treated as biological pin cushions). He was not alone since the article was published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, a subsidiary publication of British Medical Journal, edited by his mentor Julian Savulescu who has held the Uehiro Chair of Practical Ethics in the University of Oxford since 2002, with whom he still closely collaborates.

Both gentlemen are luminaries of the Oxford Martin School where Giubilini is attached to the ‘Oxford Martin Programme for Collective Responsibility for Infectious Disease’. As such they are also colleagues of Andrew Pollard who among many roles is director of Oxford Vaccine Group which develops vaccines. I have discussed Pollard’s conflicting positions many times as a member of the Jenner Vaccine Foundation (in its turn funded by Wellcome Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation among others), advisor to the British and European regulators and chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the British equivalent of the ACIP, where he recommends products with which he is closely associated (notably Bexsero, of which he was lead developer) to the schedule. Irregularly, back in 2016, Pollard was allowed to host a meeting of the JCVI at the Oxford Martin School as well as invite the company to a social event at his college, St. Cross. As things stand, he will preside over the committee that decides on the national use of Coronavirus vaccines, including his own.

They do not see, or they pretend not to see, the potential fallibility of the technology, or how they might even enhance the danger of it by talking in naive and gullible ways, while presenting arguments which are only grounded in their professional status (“trust me, I am a bio-ethicist”).
Last autumn, Giubilini was invited to advocate for compulsory vaccination on the Oxford Vaccine Group website – not perhaps a very sensitive choice given his history – which would under present arrangements leave Pollard as a biological dictator in the United Kingdom, determining what every man, woman, child or infant would forcibly be given. Pollard has indicated that he would not be averse to this.

It is evident that a longstanding problem, illustrated by a Practical Ethics blog discussion which I took part in in 2013, is that bio-ethicists are taking a mechanistic view. They do not see, or they pretend not to see, the potential fallibility of the technology, or how they might even enhance the danger of it by talking in naive and gullible ways, while presenting arguments which are only grounded in their professional status (“trust me, I am a bio-ethicist”). Some readers may recall how Art Caplan ducked out of the way in 2013 when challenged by Mary Holland in the Harvard Law Journal over his superficial arguments about making people legally responsible for their diseases, and suddenly there appeared in his stead Dorit Reiss, who could gloss over anything. But if Caplan had been forced to answer, the initiative – which was evidently part of the government-pharmaceutical complex’s strategic plan – would have been dead in the water. Instead, what Caplan did was opportunistically disappear from the fray, incapable of defending his own ideas (if they were truly his).

At the top of Alberto Giubilini’s blog is a sentimental image: A photograph of a patch of earth with a childish chalk drawing of a rainbow scratched into it, but I do not think he is a sentimental man. What lies behind it all is not the hopes of children living in poverty and dust but of industrialists and global bureaucrats living in glass and steel towers or the well upholstered historic buildings of Oxford, plotting their further control over humanity and the planet."

Quite like with winter flu, it was observed many times may infect you by standing in someone’s back in the supermarket even while keeping “social distance”.

One's body heat is enough to keep a small layer of air continuously churning at a fairly high rate, which, to extremely small particles, is like a breeze.

Such particles are readily displaced by heat and highly susceptible to small static charges like dust. So even if you are just standing there, you may be a bit like a billowing thundercloud, on a microscopic scale. It is a little bit of everything, from sweat to nylon fibers, tending to make a force field something like a candle flame, primarily upwards. At just a small distance outwards, it will lose momentum and float in to the environment.

Personally I take a sort of 360 degree constant flux of germs and other particles as a given. I do not know how everyone experiences it, but, to me--except for something superficial like conjunctivitis--anything that has a chance to penetrate and colonize internally, I can feel, at a distance. I can feel a wave of something moving in from like five feet away and something like a radar goes off and I can sense a corresponding team of something like librarians looking up the cure.

Most of these colds and flus either do not affect me, or it is not as strong as to most other people.

That is probably exactly what is going to happen to me, in two or three months I will be six feet behind someone and feel this thing hit and the librarians may not find their answer and they turn to the next guys who "think on their feet".

I think you would be totally justified if you canned the term human being and replaced with Human Colony, along with the idea there is also a kind of Homicidal Colony that is out to get you. It is because I can feel this, every time, which includes what I would have to call waves from asymptomatic people. They are generally faster and weaker.

That’s about right Shaberon, thanks for the good response🙏

I would not describe my experiences with handling various viral outbreaks over the years any better. I have good instinct for detecting it in environments especially closed ones. There had been too many of them in last two decades in my observation as people started to travel much more after 2000 on ..the numbers of natural interactions between individual members and cultures that were previously more isolated from each other increased exponentially.

Known and unknown microbial strands had been shared among all continents due to the amount of trade and travel. Bacteria and viruses previously endemic to certain semi isolated biotopes such as the Amazon basin known for its large and unique biodiversity or Tibetan glaciers or thawing permafrost in the North of Eurasia and America , likewise oceans being churned by various dirty industry passed examples of trillions of viruses and bacteria ..
to our labs but also to our bodies through many diverse pathways.
The process continues as we talk but logistically speaking,
the only measure that helps about everyone at the same time was stopping heavy industry and traffic.

We are oxygen dependant creatures but billions of people living in big cities are suffocating by high CO2 emissions for decades now, from London to Delhi to Beijing to Tokyo , to Western California, the air had been foul and bad everywhere recently.

The amount of human waste accumulated under many capitals and major cities is also ginormous and can not be exactly “contained”.

In turn ..waters contain times more amount of microbiome than years ago unless for glacier water and even if only the most aggressive and dominant strands get on the top of their own viral hierarchy they can still cause lots of trouble to us.

From global and timeless perspective ..if human kind can not control their heavy intrusion to the planetary ecosystem there is price to pay.

We are not animals or insects neither should we define our intelligence and identity as such. We aren’t uncontrollable swarm of locusts, we should not be guinea pigs either, no we can’t pass to heavens as “canned fish” indecently hanging on flying handles bumping to each other on buses , no we should not go to jam.

In truth, the state of this little planet depends mostly on “us” at the moment. There are issues to address , discuss and apply that could end wars and lift the state of this humanity faster than usually.
Now and then it comes to the point in the history of mankind when by ..

“By doing nothing everything is accomplished”.

We have food stuff for long time to go at the moment if we are honest with our resources. Even if all cloth and car factories come to halt today
there is more than we can ever use in our life times if we open the stores and car parks.

That’s not an “utopia” that’s reality. Most people don’t have to work if we look it soberly and lots of useless production can be stopped. We only need to make resources available, share them across the social hierarchies, reach to the needy, stop feeding the rich.

Everything transforms, changes, nature seeks balance unless we try to tamper with it constantly.

It simply comes to the point.

By doing nothing, the rest is accomplished.

Hope that makes sense

The freedom link
Very important
https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messages/edit?promo_id=8778

On May 1, 2020, 45 congress members co-sponsored Bill HR 6666, proposing to spend $100 BILLION dollars in 2020 to hire "contact tracers", coronavirus testers, and reporting agents. If passed, this would create an unprecedented new mega-industry for what appears to be a type of "medical martial law".

Proponents of this bill apparently want to hire a massive number of staff to enforce "social distancing", administer tests in our homes — apparently whether we consent or not, and apparently — if we perceive the bill correctly — even grant themselves the right to take people who "test positive" from their homes!

The full name of this bill HR 6666 is the "COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act". As many of you know, what is referred to as "contact tracing" is more aptly called Big Brother surveillance.

Ventura, California recently announced their own draconian measure threatening to forcibly test and remove people from their homes if "necessary"... though they subsequently backtracked probably due to the massive pushback.

As many of us have come to realize (not a comfortable process), there indeed appears to be an agenda to lock humanity into a so-called "new normal" reality of technocratic policing and constant monitoring. Self-appointed technocrats and their organizations appear highly motivated to have us vaccinated and tracked with wireless and, it strongly appears, biometrics.

But millions are waking up and sharing information. This is a fight for the soul of humanity, and we're learning what it means to combine love and action.

» YOU'VE AWAKENED. NOW LET'S COME TOGETHER AND ACT.

This instant action is the first step. It will be sent to each of YOUR elected reps, at the Federal, State and Municipal level.

We have about 80% coverage at the local level... i.e. so for most of you, you'll be able to instantly send to your Mayor and Councillors. Also, we currently have USA nationwide coverage, and will add several other countries shortly.

In this action, we'll use strong yet respectful language to 1) ask them to stop HR 6666 and all similar legislation, *AND* 2) remove our consent for all violations to our Constitutional Rights — including those occuring during this crisis.

» PRINCIPLES OF NON-CONSENT

Doing this simple action is powerful! In legal and contractual terms, there's a mechanism called "implied consent", or "tacit acceptance." That means that, once you've been notified of (or even learned about) a thing, if you haven't said NO, you've essentially said YES.

Because this is a free-will universe, those that pull the strings in our society want us to be informed of their agenda... to be in fear about it... and to not go further than sharing information, signing petitions (which do not remove our consent), and perhaps demonstrating.

These types of actions are all well and good, but they do not go deep enough, because we can do all of these things and still be in a position of legally / contractually having consented to the situation — or, in contractual terms, to their "offer".

But when we begin to realize who we are, the power we have, and the terrible charade happening in our world that is intended to bind us, we can turn the tables, then create what we want instead. Removing our consent and standing with our unalienable* rights, granted by our Creator (as recognized in the Constitution), is a significant and powerful first step. The steps that follow include embodying and walking this out — i.e. acting in alignment with the powerful, responsible beings that we are — throughout our day-to-day lives.

* unalienable: that which cannot be seprated from you.

» BELOW IS THE NOTICE TEMPLATE WE'LL HELP YOU INSTANTLY SEND.

NOTE: Since you are the one with power, you are the reponsible party. It's important that you read the Notice in full; and since it's editable, customize it accordingly (on Step 2) so that you are in full agreement with what you are sending.

Dear [Elected Rep's Name],

The discussions about “contact tracing” surveillance, and other measures associated with the lockdown, have unparalleled importance since what is at stake is whether Americans will retain unalienable Constitutional rights – or if those rights will be exchanged for “privileges”.

Various unprecedented “pandemic measures” are being discussed and or implemented by federal, state and municipal governments. On May 1, the TRACE Act (HR 6666) was introduced, proposing $100 BILLION in 2020 to create a “contact tracing” mega-industry – a ubiquitous, unconstitutional surveillance network – to continuously surveil without warrant, to enforce “social distancing” through citizen-policing, to enforce testing and possibly medicating against consent, and apparently to grant the “authority” to remove people from their dwellings (though as written, this last point is as of yet unclear in intent). See: bit.ly/bill6666

Combined with “lockdowns”, which are increasingly seen by Americans as clearly unfitting measures, this new legislative action is egregious and, for federal officials, you need to immediately stop this bill. For all officials: stop all anti-Constitution legislation, and align your actions to preserve all Constitutional rights and the rule of law in this country.

Will you uphold the US Constitution and support Chief Justice John Marshall’s decree that any laws in opposition to the Constitution are repugnant, and are null and void, as per the US Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison decided on February 24, 1803?

Second, is my understanding correct, that the US Constitution is still active and valid; and that I have the ability to seek legal and lawful remedy for that which causes me harm?

I will expect a response in writing (email) with your answer within 10 days. If I do not hear back from you, or you fail to respond, it will be clear to me that you do NOT deserve my vote in the next upcoming election; and that my understanding, as stated here, is correct.

There are many fundamental questions emerging about the CV-19 pandemic narrative. Much is coming to light about how mortality models were wrong; doctors saying they were asked to inaccurately state CV-19 as cause of death; studies reveal gross inaccuracies with PCR testing; whether mask-wearing helps or harms; and apparent agendas for advancing pharmaceutical/telecom interests, biometrics and the removal of basic freedoms. Many millions of Americans are becoming aware, and this isn’t a passing thing. See: bit.ly/2AoLEFn

AN UNDERSTANDING, PERTAINING TO MY RIGHTS

A. I have unalienable rights recognized in the original US Constitution that cannot be superseded by any agenda, nor be removed from me.

B. My unalienable rights are being harmed by agendas implemented by oath-sworn elected officials, corporate executives and/or non-elected officials (collectively “Agents Of Harm”). These include, without limitation:
i. My free rights to speak, travel, do commerce, work, assemble, and be free of surveillance without warrant.
ii. A threat of medical procedures, testing or experimentation without my consent.
iii. Threats of punitive detention, violence and or harm for non-compliance.

C. My unalienable rights are NOT conditional – i.e. subject to proving I am not contagious, nor submitting to surveillance, nor anything that would cause me harm – properly called “extortion”.

NOTICE OF NON CONSENT

Let it be known throughout all jurisdictions and dimensions that:

A. I do not consent to being harmed by any imposition of quarantine, or restriction on my Constitutional right to assemble, work, travel, speak or do commerce.

B. I do not consent to being told to live in fear, nor made to wear a mask, nor being mandated an allowable proximity to others, nor being made subject to “contract tracing” surveillance.

C. I do not consent to any offer of forced medical experimentation or testing; nor forced medical procedure (i.e. vaccine, or substance delivered by air, water, or other means without my knowledge and consent); nor exposure to radiation from deployments of 4G/5G/wireless infrastructure; nor being tracked by any technology or biometric device on or adjacent to my body.

D. I accept your oath of office as your sworn statement which compels you to uphold the Constitutional against all enemies, foreign and domestic; to protect my rights; and to exhibit a duty of care to respond appropriately when informed of harm taking place.

E. I reserve all my rights, nunc pro tunc, to pursue legal and lawful remedy for all harm and threats of harm, which may constitute criminal assault and or tort, caused or contributed by Agents Of Harm. I reserve the right to seek legal and lawful remedy unless and until the stated harmful actions cease and desist.

I sincerely hope that you perceive the gravity of the present situation, and that you choose to be on the right side of this matter – the side in which Constitutional rights are defended and we have a chance at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Thank you for reading this notice, sent to you in good faith, and without ill-intent.

“The law helps the vigilant, before those who sleep on their rights.”

“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.”
-Thomas Paine

'Punished, Exiled, Ruined'
“Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science.” by Judy Mikovits
Her new book
Organic Consumers Assoc.
5/14/20

https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/t9ZBySoyhjYSjbN6djrE4LCTHL81Cpq_YWAz9grWsNxdxtqOSiDh3blIJN6XmSAwHmvf69IJJnaMYExpvuErmnWv11PNWQg4GZjR DK6zGPGJEZnb-GNCIT_QXagO20VBkWS570F9SBMD9dn-r30HhO71oNyTIvkxKK5fvvIwI6g9DdGyAJebswwXWvk=s0-d-e1-ft#https://www.organicconsumers.org/sites/default/files/styles/250x250/public/plague_of_corruption_250x250.jpg?itok=I4I7R4vv

"It didn’t take long for the video “Plandemic” to go viral. It took even less time for Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and others to ban it, and for mainstream media to condemn it.

The woman behind “Plandemic”—Judy Mikovits—also has a new book out—“Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wrote the foreword to Mikovits’ book (the book topped the Amazon bestsellers list last week). Of Mikovits, Kennedy writes:

"From the outset, the most daunting obstacle to Mikovits’ career advancement was her scientific integrity. She always placed it ahead of personal ambition. Judy Mikovits never meant to wade into a public health brawl. She never considered herself a renegade or revolutionary. Judy’s relatives mainly worked in government or law enforcement. They believed in the bedrock American principles of hard work, respect for authority, and, above all, telling the truth. That backdrop made it impossible for her to abandon her high natal standards of honesty and integrity even when they became a hindrance.”

In her latest statements about COVID-19, Mikovits draws from her research on retroviruses. That research, Kennedy says, “changed the paradigm of HIV-AIDS treatment, turning the disease from a death sentence into a manageable condition."

But as in the past, Mikovits challenges Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Medicine, Big Business and all the other “Bigs.”

And, as in the past, she is once again being punished, exiled and ruined—not unlike many other outspoken scientists of the past, from Galileo to Rachel Carson, according to Kennedy.

In the middle of a pandemic unlike we’ve ever witnessed, with so many unknowns and so few answers, should we really ban the voices of anyone who dares challenge the status quo? As Kennedy argues:

"Science, at its best, is a search for existential truth. Sometimes, however, those truths threaten powerful economic paradigms. Both science and democracy rely on the free flow of accurate information. Greedy corporations and captive government regulators have consistently shown themselves willing to twist, distort, falsify, and corrupt science, hide information, and censor open debate to protect personal power and corporate profits."

Setting The Stage For Phase 2 As States Deploy National Guard For Contact Tracing

"Several states are preparing to ease restrictions related to the Coronavirus lockdowns, other states have extended the lockdowns while a handful of states like South Dakota never imposed a statewide lockdown at all, why don’t we hear about this in the mainstream media?

Surely we would hear about these rogue states if there was a significant increase in the numbers of infected or deaths because the establishment would never miss an opportunity to justify the lockdowns and say see, we told you so, now get back in side!

All of this is taking place as many states across the country are beginning to implement their contact tracing programs. Several of these states are calling on the National Guard to assist in their contact tracing programs and training has already begun.

While it has been stated that the National Guard's function is not a law enforcement role, their roll is Public Health Service, it must be noted that the very foundation of the contact tracing program is not only tracking every individual and their contacts, but isolating and quarantining suspected individuals who are infected.

So where does the line of law enforcement end? And the function of a Public Health Service begin? Only time will tell."

***

Legal developments have been so mind-blowing over the past 5 days, it’s like living inside a wind tunnel!

As you know, the DOJ dropped all charges against Gen Michael Flynn last Friday. On the same day, Barack Obama’s personal propagandist and original Russiagater, Michael Isikoff released an audio of a conference call with Obama and former members of his administration, in which he complained about the dismissal of Flynn’s case that, “there is no precedent…for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free” and “the rule of law was at risk”.

Except that Flynn was never charged with perjury. Now, however the judge in Flynn’s case appointed a retired judge to look into whether Flynn should be held in criminal contempt for perjury!

About this, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Victoria Toensing tweeted, “Let me get this straight…FBI threatened to prosecute his son if he did not plead guilty. Now Judge Sullivan wants him held in contempt for pleading guilty when he was not. Higher court should step in. Or there is no justice system.”

Meanwhile, Acting Director of National Intelligence, Ric Grenell released NSA documents, listing the names of 16 Obama Administration officials who requested to unmask the communications of (i.e., spy on) Gen Flynn between November 8, 2016 and January 31, 2017 – starting just after the presidential election and up to their very last days in office. Among those on the list are Samantha Power, James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comey – and, yes, Joe Biden, contrary to his claims of ignorance of the matter the previous day on national TV.

This led former Deputy National Security Advisor under Obama, Ben Rhodes to tweet, “The unconfirmed, acting DNI using his position to criminalize routine intelligence work to help re-elect the president and obscureRussian intervention in our democracy would normally be the scandal here…”

[OMG, still at it, with the Russiagating!!!]

Never mind that an acting DNI doesn’t need to be confirmed. Never mind that it isn’t “routine” for an outgoing administration to spy on an incoming administration. Never mind that the rule of law he feigns to care about was tossed out the window when the outgoing President directed his Justice Department and FBI to lay traps to sabotage the incoming President.

That these documents were publicly released suggests that there was no concern about their information tainting a jury pool. This means these people will not be prosecuted in Federal Court. Should they be prosecuted, it will be in military tribunals.

Meanwhile, Democrat governors and mayors continue to crush the livelihoods and health of their constituents, by extending stay-at-home orders unnecessarily. In lock step with Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, the goalposts of their Agenda 2030 genocidal plan are slyly shifting from “flattening the curve” to “finding the cure”, with Los Angeles Mayor, Eric Garcetti now saying that life won’t return to normal until there is a cure.

On Wednesday. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo worked to suppress the known cure for coronavirus (and many other viruses) when he issued an executive order banning pharmacists from dispensing chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine unless written as prescribed for an “FDA-approved indication”. Their prescriptions in New York are now banned from experimental or prophylactic use, unless as part of a NY State COVID-19 clinical trial.

Perhaps scariest of all, is Washington Gov Jay Inslee, who has launched an aggressive contact tracing program, declaring that those who refuse to cooperate with contact tracers and/or refuse testing will not be allowed to leave their homes to purchase basic necessities such as groceries and/or prescriptions.

It is going to take pushback from the public to roll back these Unconstitutional hijinks, and that’s what we’re starting to see with Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer, who stripped the operating license of 77-year-old barber, Karl Manke after he opened his shop.

Six state troopers entered his shop to deliver a cease and desist order from that state’s attorney general, Dana Nessel. The case was then sent to the Circuit Court, who ruled against the Governor and AG, dismissing the idea that Manke was causing irreparable harm by being open. Circuit Court Judge Matthew Stewart also rejected their claims that Manke had committed at least two misdemeanors, otherwise, they would have had him arrested.

Shiawassee County Sheriff Brian BeGole issued a statement after receiving “many calls” from local residents and businesses on the matter and “especially since the Michigan Legislature did not extend the state of emergency beyond April 30 as required by law…I have decided, within my authority, that our office cannot and will not divert our primary resources and efforts towards enforcement of Governor Whitmer’s executive orders.”

Sheriffs in a few counties of Arizona and California have been doing the same.

On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down Gov. Tony Evers’ extension of his stay-at-home order. The ruling reopens the state, lifting caps on the size of gatherings, allowing people to travel as they please and allowing shuttered businesses to reopen, including bars and restaurants.

The court had found that Health secretary Andrea Palm, who issued the order did not have the authority to do so. Chief Justice Patience Roggensack wrote in the majority opinion, “Rule-making exists precisely to ensure that kind of controlling, subjective judgement asserted by one unelected official, Palm, is not imposed in Wisconsin.”

Keep these victories in mind while Spiro Skouras terrifies you in today’s video with what the vaccinators and the contact tracers will do to us if we don’t stop them with similar victories in ALL counties."
