Covid19: Global reports, news and updates
Dear Friends,
This post is simply to start this new thread. Please see my detailed explanation here.
As the title suggests, this thread is for Covid19 global reports, news and updates. There are three other new threads to discuss other specific angles and aspects of the current situation.

Re: Covid19: Global reports, news and updates
This is interesting. Either the virus is changing, or people are.
(Meaning, 'younger' people may be over-confident about being 'immune', and aren't taking nearly enough care not to become infected. And many 'younger' people have poor diets, poor lifestyles, and compromised immune systems, too.)

North Carolina says 43% of people diagnosed with Covid-19 are ages 25-49
Dr. Mandy K. Cohen, secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), announced Friday that 43% of people diagnosed with Covid-19 are ages 25-49. So far, 29% are age 50-64 and 20% are age 65 and up, Cohen said.

WHO supports countries in their decisions around masks, official says
From https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-n...ntl/index.html
While the World Health Organization has not changed its position on whether the general public should wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic, it will support individual countries in making their own national recommendations around mask wearing."We can certainly see circumstances in which the use of masks — both homemade and cloth masks — at the community level may help in an overall comprehensive response to this disease, and we will support governments in making those decisions based on the situation they find themselves in in terms of transmission," Dr. Mike Ryan, WHO executive director of health emergencies programme, said during a media briefing in Geneva on Friday.
Ryan said that wearing a mask in public doesn't necessarily protect the person wearing it, but rather helps to limit that person's likelihood of infecting others if that person is sick.

If anyone reading this wants to decide for themselves whether to wear a mask or not (and I'm totally convinced we all should be, even if they're improvised), just watch this short 7 minute video.

Bill I don't want to cross contaminate your post (sorry for the sick analogy).
You will see how easy it is to have a thread derailed, unintentionally.
As Dr. Andrew Kaufman pointed out, face masks will not filter out viruses:
"Given the size of these particles (500 nm), that they are so tiny, there's really no way that you can prevent them from getting out or getting in, so if you look at the pores of the masks people are wearing, they are way bigger than the size of these particles. So they're essentially going to go right through."
We use strainers and colanders to filter foods (pasta, rice, vegetables etc.) from water or other liquids.
Sometimes we use them to filter larger foods from smaller foods.
Now think of a strainer or a mask (with its pores) trying to filter out a 500 nm particle.

Right. But there's a very good argument (did you see the video?) that they filter out aerosol droplets containing viruses, at least partially. In other words, they're almost certainly better than nothing.
That was Chris Martenson's main point, and I think I agree, based on what I feel I understand. The video contains a couple of excellent animations, which I'm not able to post separately... do watch it.

The wearing of masks helps to build fear as well.
My apologies if this is not in line with the new thread (and I am certainly not being sarcastic in any way). I understand why you have separated the threads in the way you have, but speaking for myself, I sometimes post info that although might seem to be off topic but I post it because I would like the people who are reading the thread get that particular message or thought. Maybe others have done the same.
And in case you have not recognized this - the threads and posts are a reflection of the situation that we are finding ourselves in - it is all mixed up and sending our thoughts in different directions.
It feels like TPTB have done a really good job of messing with us this time. I am hoping that someone somewhere is starting a counter movement because it is starting to feel like we really need one.

I am starting a counter-movement that involves strengthening our immune systems with powerful Seraphic energies. See the members only thread I started today about a teleconference we are holding this coming Monday, April 6th in which a Seraph will share powerful healing energies with all who join.

Re: Covid19: Global reports, news and updates
"THE HEAD OF THE WORLD Health Organization said that almost everyone who has died of the coronavirus in Europe has been over the age of 60.
Dr. Hans Kluge, the regional director for WHO Europe, said in a virtual press briefing that 95% of COVID-19 fatalities on the continent have been people older than 60. Additionally, more than 50% of all deaths in Europe were people aged 80 or older.
However, younger people are not immune. Ten to 15% of people under 50 with the coronavirus have developed moderate or severe infection.
"The very notion that COVID-19 only affects older people is factually wrong," Kluge stressed. "Severe cases of the disease have been seen in people in their teens or 20s with many requiring intensive care and some unfortunately passing away."
Age is also not the only risk factor. Eight in 10 deaths have occurred in people with at least one underlying medical condition, particularly cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and diabetes."

Re: Covid19: Global reports, news and updates
The good news about hydroxychloroquine continues to pour in. Last week, Dr. William Grace, an oncologist affiliated with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said they’ve not had any deaths in the hospital of close to a 100 patients. In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Dr. Grace said: “Thanks to hydroxychloroquine, we have not had a death in our hospital.’https://techstartups.com/2020/03/30/...eath-hospital/
Re: Covid19: Global reports, news and updates
This is important. The treatment should be open to question and making change. I don't know who Could be the lead in coordinating. Actually in my preference, we would have Tulsi Gabbard and other smart people. If anyone knows who needs this pass it on.....
I plan to use some DIY with a mask and use some ideas such as filter paper soaking in salt water. the sataurated papers attracts the droplets. Once saturated the viral coating shrivels.I'd like professional masks that work to stop viral spread. A cloth mask is better than no mask. I plan to stay home. No matter what we think, this is an Introvert'sGolden Age.

Next week, we will see Britain and USA recording record deaths.
