Wuhan Flu

Fauci and heads of CDC and FDA in self quarantine, as a growing number of White House associates and staff test positive.

Mask-wearing policy in Canada has resembled Orwell's 1984, where warring nations would be transformed into loyal allies overnight and everyone was expected to forget what they'd been told the day before.

@AlissaStollwerkA sobering way to look at it. 1 out of 154 NYC adults hospitalized. 1 out of 361 NYC adults dead. Among 75 and older, 1 out of 60 are dead.

Apparently rare, but concerningNearly 100 children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with the newly identified syndrome associated with COVID-19.

But still, there are positive developments stateside: Good news as covid testing expands and the positivity rate continues to fall.

More unusable masks from China and Trudeau pledges we “won’t be paying the full price”.

That’ll teach ’em.

  1. Why Scientists Think The Novel Coronavirus Developed Naturally — Not In A Chinese Lab

    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-scientists-think-the-novel-coronavirus-developed-naturally-not-in-a-chinese-lab/

    “But, Garry said, the tip of the SARS-CoV-2 spike is unlike anything scientists have seen before, sharing only a single key amino acid with SARS. Modeling suggests that it shouldn’t be able to bind to human lungs well, but the new configuration is about as effective as the optimized SARS.”

    1. What does that have to do with whether it was released from a lab? Zero. Why are you spouting Chicom propaganda that deliberately misses the point.

      1. Because the sequence of the virus makes it unlikely it was engineered at all in any lab.

    2. Yes, we know, all the globalist media has the exact same talking points. Thanks.

    3. yah, unDork, chicoms are lying through their teeth because this whole thing is a natural event. You keep rising to new levels of stupidity ever day. 2 virologist researchers say that virus engineering is at a level that is so refined, that they themselves, and any one else couldn’t detect such. Butt a lab urine taste tester links to a piece by a lefty shill who writes for lying NYT, has the answers (propaganda)

    4. These guys have no idea what the Chinese were doing in the lab in Wuhan.
      We know this because the Chinese say nothing was going on there and they won’t share any information about experiments with the coronavirus.
      Therefore this is complete conjecture on their behalf.
      Kind of like a global warming prediction.

      1. RTFA. The novel spike sequence is highly unlikely a result of any known engineering tech. Also: burden of proof is on those making extraordinary claims.

        1. According to the Yuri Deigen post, the spike protein was very similar to a virus found in a sick pangolin.

          This virus is almost certainly across between a bat virus and that virus. I don’t see anything in that post that would poke holes in the Yuri Deigen analysis.

          Whether that crossing happened in nature or in a lab is unknown.

    5. Japan’s Nobel Prize winning Professor of Medicine, Dr. Tasuku Honjo stated today that the Coronavirus is NOT natural. (emphasis mine). I’ll take his word for it.

    1. My mother passed away this week. She has been in hospice since she had a heart attack in her sleep six weeks ago. A week before she had a respiratory infection and complained that she couldn’t taste anything. Blood clots cause heart attacks. She was in decent health before the heart attack. No COVID test, don’t know what to think.

      1. May your mother rest in peace.

        Her Chinese and globalist murderers will be repaid for her death manifold. She WILL be avenged.

      2. Your loss is our loss as well.

        Shalom to you and your entire family as you grieve, remember, celebrate and continue her legacy in your lives.

      3. That’s so sad, Tim. Please accept my condolences. It sure sounds like COVID … why no testing? Even though she’s passed, we can learn more about the virus if she indeed had it. Science … right? Data … right? She should have been tested.

      4. It’s Mothers’ Day today, Tim, and I am praying for you and your family. There is no good time to lose a mother.

  2. Interesting, brief history of pandemics. Some nasty descriptions.

    https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/how-pandemics-end/ar-BB13RQjM?ocid=spartan-dhp-feeds

    “Historians describe three great waves of plague, said Mary Fissell, a historian at Johns Hopkins: the Plague of Justinian, in the sixth century; the medieval epidemic, in the 14th century; and a pandemic that struck in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.”

    Haha! The “Plague of Justinian”. Don’t kid yourself, we’re in year 5, FFS!

  3. If di Blasio had cared about anything but kicking the Jews and licking the ass of the Chinese, all he had to do was impulse a real lockdown in Gotham. Tyrone and Cuauhtemoc gets MRE’s dropped at their door every three days and get shot dead if they leave their apartment in anything but an ambulance.

    New York’s body count is on di Blasio and his hideous wife.

  4. Nice fear porn. I decided to play with the numbers given. Population 8,398,748. Hospitalizations 43,913 Deaths 14,389. Therefore 1 in every 191.258 hospitalized with a 0.17% death rate. Not sure how they came up with their numbers. Also there is a lot of evidence that seems to indicate the number of deaths is wildly exaggerated in order to get more funding for the hospitals.

      1. The numbers are all BS. I see our idiot PM saying that we may all have to go back indoors during the summer if he doesn’t like what is happening. Well, folks this where the rubber has to meet the road. They will have to kill me before I put up with this shit ever again.

        1. Outdoors is the best place to be. UV is a natural disinfectant. So is air/wind dilution.

          Our “leaders” are mind numbingly stupid………or the true fascists our forefathers all but wiped out in WWII.

          Masks serve little purpose outdoors as to be useless. Indoors, in confined spaces, ok, I’m a buyer.

      2. “A sobering way to look at it. 1 out of 154 NYC adults hospitalized. 1 out of 361 NYC adults dead. Among 75 and older, 1 out of 60 are dead.”

        Back of envelope:

        1 in 361 works out to 0.277 %

        .277 * 6,500,000 (over 18) = @ 18,000 dead. Total COVID + Probable = @ 19,000

        It’s close enough for government work.

    1. Here’s a shocking … sobering … fact for all of you to become concerned about! People aged 75 and older die at a rate 7,500x greater than those aged 15-35 yo.

      Forgive the “off the top of my head” math calculation

      1. Well that’s because the majority of them are holed up in nursing homes…..much like cruise ships. Petri dishes.

        1. This part is true. They stay at home in buildings with shared ventilation. Didn’t they see Outbreak?

          1. Geeze Neo … haven’t you seen the brochures for these places!? Water Aerobics … mixers for socializing (with the 25% male residents) … Bingo night … dance lessons … retirement homes are for LIVING!

      2. I like Rush Limbaugh’s carrot analysis.

        Over 75% of people involved in a car crash in the US had seen a carrot within the previous 2 days. Every single person that ate a carrot over 120 years ago is now dead. How many people realize just how dangerous carrots can be?

        1. And that carrot was a result of racism and “climate change” and it was all Trump’s fault.

      3. LOL.. That most dangerous of all viruses “OLD-AGE”.. you can run but you can’t hide..

      4. Kenji, ay my age I have noticed that I now have more dead friends than live ones. Something about that living longer than expected thing.

    2. Weird how with such a low death rate due to COVID, such a high number of people in NYC have died.

      1. Living in multi-unit towers with central re-circulated “shared” air systems.

        The subways, congested spaces with too many people.

        High co-morbidity rates of the victims. Obesity, diabetes, and, if we believe some of the media reports, a high percentage were black as well. For some reason, non-whites are more susceptible to Covid mortality. We may never know the real reason in this PC virtue signalling age. Is it genetic? Is it due to poverty and poorer diets and nutrition? Or is it none of the above, and just a poor government/ residential response in NY to the Wuhan Plague?

    3. “A sobering way to look at it. 1 out of 154 NYC adults hospitalized. 1 out of 361 NYC adults dead. Among 75 and older, 1 out of 60 are dead”.

      The 1 in 154 hospitalized figure refers to ADULTS: 6,717,423 adults, divided by 43,599 adults hospitalized = 1 in 154.

      Deaths were based on ADULT deaths confirmed (those with positive COVID-19 test) = 14389
      plus probable ADULT deaths (those with no test, but COVID listed on death cert) = 4245
      so 6,717,423 divided by 19702 = 360.

      Deaths over 75 was 9322. population over 75 was 561,199. Dividing gives 1 in 60.

      Now we could argue over how to count deaths. Are they COVID or not COVID?

      Here is a table of COVID deaths in NYC:
      https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-19-deaths-confirmed-probable-daily-05102020.pdf

      A foot note to the table says “From March 11 – May 9, 2020, Deaths not known to be confirmed or probable COVID 19 = 13042. Thus we get total deaths in NYC in the 59 days from March 11 to May 9:

      COVID confirmed = 14753
      COVID probable = 4313 (report complete)
      COVID probable = 856 (report incomplete
      other NYC deaths = 13042
      Total = 32,964 or approx 559 per day

      Now on average 147 people normally die each day in NYC

  5. Nationwide, nearly 100 children have been diagnosed with the newly identified syndrome. At least eight states — California, Delaware, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington — as well as Washington, D.C., have reported cases.

    1. The name of this “newly identified” syndrome reminds me of another of my favorites … “multiple chemical sensitivity”. I suspect both are most common among the transgendering children of woke parents.
    2. Find the RED State among the list of Eight States where this “syndrome” has been discovered. I’ll wait.

    1. FEARLESS FORECAST:
      This ‘newly identified syndrome’ in children (which is seen ONLY in Democrat/blue states) will be used to keep schools closed in the Fall while still paying (unionized) public school teachers in those blue states. In the lead-up to the November 3rd election Democrats + their MSM megaphones + thousands of unionized blue state & swing state teachers will howl relentlessly that “Trump wants to kill your children by opening the schools!”
      Guaranteed that’s what’s coming.

        1. Wasn’t looking for confirmation bias, just that it was germaine to the conversation at hand.
          Remember confirmation bias works in more than one direction.
          The New York Times and the CBC were built on that.

  6. The Wuhan Flu probably wasn’t genetically engineered by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. By that I mean they didn’t fire up their Crispr Machine and cut and paste genetic code into the Chinese Coronavirus. That would have been noticeable in the viru genetic code.

    But that doesn’t mean they didn’t “play” with it, Just like the way we used to modify plants and animals the old fashioned way. The Bat Virus is found in a species of bat that lives more than 400 miles away. It didn’t get to Wuhan by itself. In the lab, they could have exposed several different test animals to the original virus, and as it adapted to the new non-bat hosts, it changed naturally.

    Scientists have also been performing gain of function experiments on many different viruses, and even published papers describing how they had increased the virulence of existing flu viruses they were “experimenting” with. The method is to expose test animals to the virus, and as it is modified by the test animal and nature, expose the new virus to more test animals, repeat as needed. Soon you get a virus that is well adapted to a completely new host. If you pick the virus that kills its new hosts quickly or thoroughly, you can train the surviving virii to be more lethal. This is sort of like how Kate breeds her Miniature Schnauzers to win dog shows, except faster, when virus generations are only days or weeks long. There are some test animals that better mimic humans than others, supposedly civets are one such species.

    They may have been trying to develop a possible bio-weapon, or they may have been doing theoretical research, but somehow one of their bugs made it out of the Wuhan lab. If China ever comes clean on the truth, we will find out that Patient Zero was either from the lab, a significant other of a lab employee, or handled a test animal smuggled out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, likely in September, October, or November of 2019.

    1. There was also a high level biology lab near the Ebola outbreak and there’s no more reason to believe it was the epicenter than the Wuhan lab was.

      Read the article I linked to. It’s highly unlikely the radical change in spike sequence was a result of ‘enforced selection’. It’s just too radical of a leap.

      EDIT: while the virus may have lived in bats, pangolins were a likely intermediate between bats and humans.

      1. UnGooph

        Right…and the research and number of papers from Shi Zhengli (Bat lady), proposing certain modifications (Gain of function), to enable a benign Bat Corona Virus to become infectious to humans…but to you, there’s nothing to see there eh.??

        https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985
        …that was in 2015…a full 5 years ago.

        The Question becomes: Who the Fk in their RIGHT mind would even want to know.?? For what Purpose was this being investigated, pursued……& WHY.??
        THERE CAN BE ONLY 1 Answer sonny boy … I’ll give you a few decades to figure it out.

        Wet Market .. ? my (_i_).

  7. More evidence Covid19 may not be natural

    It has a spliced in genetic footprint that does not exist in nature.

    “…… talked about the polybasic furin cleavage site PRRA which looks suspiciously like an ‘insert’ in covid-19’s genetic coding.
    In today’s video, he focuses on the RaTG13 sequence, which raises even more questions. It suggests that either the sequence itself is not natural OR that the larger covid-19 virus isn’t.
    There are even further questions raised by the virus’ E protein.”

    https://www.peakprosperity.com/more-evidence-covid-19-may-not-be-natural/

  8. The drumbeat of children stories are starting. They can’t get the panic they need out of “everyone will die” and then “old people will die”, now it is “the children will die” stories. Predictable douchebags. They tried a couple of “pets will die” stories but folks were wondering why they were testing animals while people still needed tests. Have to save that one a little longer.

    Kids are at less risk than adults. The numbers appear to prove that out. We may still no know all we need to know about the virus, but the death toll under 60 is small, and it is gets smaller as people get younger. In the 4 provinces that break down deaths by age no one under 19 has died with or from covid, yet. As a percentage of the people who test positive for covid under 19s are the least represented group.

  9. More covid19 fear porn from the “trusted” media partners who want to drag out this fake pandemic as long as possible … the Guardian, Microsoft News, Clinton associates, NBC, CNBC, big Pharma, and HuffPost … not exactly credible Kate … it’s all fake news.

    SDA has drifted to the dark side.

    1. I’m getting this || close to closing comments.

      If you don’t like the content here, find a site that wraps you in comfy confirmation bias as it whispers sweet conspiracies in your ear. There’s plenty out there to chose from.

      1. HUH???? You’re “close to closing comments” because you disagree with some of the commenters on your site???!!!?? And if that isn’t enough…you tell them to go elsewhere if they don’t like it? The same ones who made your site #1 for a number of years? Those ones?
        Well now…I’d say things here have definitely changed. You know what…you don’t owe us a god damned thing because it’s your site and you can do whatever the hell you want, but this snively “don’t like it, get the hell out” attitude tells me more about you than anything else. Especially the last few months. I’ve seen this slow arc before from other sites.
        If your heart ain’t in it, just say so Kate. It’s ok, we’re all grownups here.

        1. When readers post to these threads and their singular contribution is to complain that I am not living up to their expectations — they need to move on.

          I’ve made it clear that the comments are to stay on topic, and that these threads are for additional information from which everyone can then draw their own conclusions or update their knowledge — not an invitation to spew your 4000th recital of the same old bullshit diatribe.

      2. Oh c’mon. Lighten up. Most on here only come to read the comments. Debate should be encouraged.

      3. Even the Catholic clergy know that the covid19 pandemic is fake;
        https://www.dw.com/en/germany-catholic-chiefs-reject-cardinals-coronavirus-conspiracy-theories/a-53384164

        Interesting that Kate figures anything other than the MSM is biased and driven by a conspiracy theory … that type of argument is used to shut down dissenting opinion … to use it on a “right-of-centre” blog speaks volumes. Censorship and threats are the hallmark of marxism and leftists …

        BTW; the word “choose” has two “o’s”

        1. We should be able to disagree, and still be respectful. Especially with those who, in the main, are from the same philosophic big tent.

          I trust our host’s instincts as I assume most of you do. Thanks to Mark Steyn, I’ve been coming here since June 2005.

          Don’t agree with all topics, but who does… with anyone, on anything??

          I give Kate’s instincts & abilities great respect because, jmo, its been well earned.

    2. “SDA has drifted to the dark side.”

      FFS.

      In case you hadn’t noticed over the years, our host is a good person with good instincts. That means her views are worth examining and, if necessary, challenging with alternative information, not just dismissing with tribal insults. Having a disagreement with someone you’re close to is some of the most valuable conversation there is. If you’re up to it.

    3. Wuhan Coronoavirus is going to be SDA’s Little Green Footballs moment.

  10. Fauci in self-quarantine. How F’n convenient! Just when he is scheduled to testify before the Senate on Tuesday! What a tough break for him. /s

    1. Hope he takes his Remdisovir, made by his Gilead benefactors…..and fails badly. It has not proven anything in any trials to speak of that challenges the effectiveness of HCQ.

      He could take HCQ, but he wouldn’t be making Big Dollars for Big Pharma, so there’s no way it could possibly work.

      HCQ + Zpac+ zinc = $20 for full treatment
      Remdisovir? Oh, around a thousand per patient or so.

      The health industry is corrupt.

      Karma!

        1. Not according to the people who were given it and are still alive. But obviously you as a progressive fuuctard know better than actual patients.
          Thanks for your expertise.

          1. The data. The data is all that matters, and there simply isn’t strong data backing up this so-called ‘treatment’.

            Remdesivir OTOH is looking good when administered early-ish.

          2. Yeah, according to Gilead and their corrupt press releases and corrupt mouthpieces who stand to make millions for a treatment has saved ZERO lives.

            Or HCQ, which has been proven over thousands of patients, by many doctors in many countries.

            It’s getting a bad ride because:

            1. It’s a generic drug and no one will get rich.
            2. OrangeMan Bad. It’s better to kill thousands more people cuz OrangeManBad.
            TDS politics is more important than saving lives. Of course it’s just a coincidence that Lupus sufferers on HCQ aren’t getting sick. The political left won’t discuss facts that don’t fit their meme.

            Oh, and Remdisovir does not work for Covid. Funny how only Gilead says it works, but no independent doctors have proved it, unlike the many independent doctors that have proved HCQ. No money to be made by Big Pharma means thousands more must die, according to Leftist Media, and the simpletons/trolls that obediently obey.

          3. Nope. It’s the data, and it supports Remdesevir more than the TriPack.

            “unlike the many independent doctors that have proved HCQ”

            Doctors don’t do that. Only well-designed trials trials can do that.

        2. lots of anecdotal evidence, and as it’s an already approved drug for human use, just use it. Doctors use it as a prophylactic, so if I got sick with this flue, I would ask for it. You see you idiot, I worked as a trouble shooter, (analyst) and never waited for trials, if anecdotal was available, and 90% of the time things when as wanted. You are a low level (dunning-kruger type) who has never had to put your reputation on the line for a decision you had to make, I did that quite often, and my bosses hated me for it, but never fired me because of my success rate, now go grow unDork

          1. No use telling the troll what to do, Rosie Barton and Don LeMon are his idols.

          2. Medicine is not like fashion or computer programming where you can just mix and match to see what works. It’s serious business.

      1. Yes, the conclusion is hanging there waiting to be pciked. Oh, it’s just a conspiracy theory … right.

  11. Not paying full price but still paying with money that is not his.

    The words fit to describe Pierre’s rotten offspring are not fit for publishing here.

  12. That NYC death rate is off by a factor of about a thousand (or is it ten thousand).

  13. Population:
    Florida – 21,500,000 NY State – 19,500,000
    Virus cases:
    Florida – 38,850 NY State – 337,420
    Virus Deaths:
    Florida – 1,600 NY State – 26,370
    Florida’s Governor DeSantis (R) poll numbers dropping.
    NY State’s Governor Cuomo (D) has never been more popular.

    The Power of the Media…

  14. … as Ted Nugent said;

    “Why do I have to stay home just because are scared? How about stay home…. stay in house indefinitely, wear a mask, socially distance yourself from me, avoid restaurants, avoid baseball games, stay off the roads, avoid malls and beaches and parks, believe the made up death numbers, believe the media hype, get your toxic vaccine while avoiding vitamin C, sunshine and the things God gave us to actually heal,
    I’m done playing dumb game. We are not “all in this together.” I’m not wearing dumb tin foil hat anymore. I’m no longer going to be a prisoner of your fear. I’m no longer staying in my house or catering to because are scared. I’m not wearing a mask and I’m not staying 6 feet away from you anymore because I’m not afraid of you. You are not my enemy and if I get sick, it’s not because of , it’s because of me and my system, which not only have I been addressing for quite some time, but I also know how to treat if I get sick.
    This virus (or whatever it is) is already circulating. Millions of people have already encountered it, as it’s been circulating around the world probably since last September. You WILL have to confront this thing, if you haven’t already. There is no way around it, unless you lock yourself up in your house and it somehow doesn’t manage to hop on some mail or some groceries that you ordered online.
    fear is not an excuse to destroy America. fear is not my fear and your fear does not have the right to interfere with my life, my job, my income or my future as a free American citizen. So if you’re scared, you can just put your tin foil hat on, or even wrap foil all around your whole body – or around your whole house if you wish – but please keep your fear contained to your little corner of the world and don’t contaminate me or my family or my Country.”

    1. I’m not medically trained, but dr John Campbell on YouTube among others have noted the race link/vitamin d deficiency and Wuhan along with many other diseases. Some have even speculated this could have something to do with the seasonality of flus and colds.

  15. I appears that any death from bear attack to getting hit by lightening is being attributed to Covid-19. Why would they be cooking the books? Why is the media screaming that any semblance of re-opening is wrong and dangerous? The new mantra: Must have mail in only voting in November.
    Could it be because it is not about the virus, it never has been. It is all about the fall election?

  16. “Fauci and heads of CDC and FDA in self quarantine, as a growing number of White House associates and staff test positive.”

    Has someone sick been copying Dan Savage and started licking doorknobs?

    1. Intel community figuring out the only way to get rid of Trump?.. The hell to pay if he goes down.. The world will be in for a world of hurt, if Pelosi and her Mutts take the reins.

    1. Did Not Want to Post all of This!!
      This regards a Senate Hearing with some key players in the massive destruction of the World economy, and it’s tomorrow. The names of those who have zero interest speaks volumes.
      Just read the questions. You can always retreat again to your comfy place and your very own cozy confirmation bias.

      On Tuesday, health bureaucrats Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIAID, will testify at a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Republican Senators should ask them four questions about their failures to expedite deployment of vaccines and test the successful HCQ-zinc treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

      1. Vaccine question for Redfield: Why haven’t you invoked the Accelerated Approval Process to get Moderna’s Vaccine out right away?

      During the H1N1 (Swine Flu) epidemic in 2009 when a Democrat was President, the CDC approved four vaccines just 7 weeks after clinical trials began by invoking the Accelerated Approval Process. Here are excerpts from the timeline on their website:

      April 15. First human infection.
      May 5. School closings affect 607,778 students.
      July 22. Clinical trials testing the vaccines begin.
      September 15. Four H1N1 vaccines approved for use by the FDA.

      In this accelerated process, designed for epidemics, a single clinical trial phase determines whether a vaccine is safe and whether it creates the required antibodies. In vaccine terminology, the pathogen-specific antibodies developed by a vaccine are considered to be a “surrogate endpoint” permitting the vaccine to be deployed immediately, without Phase 2 or Phase 3 studies. A “Phase 4” process begins after deployment to track the effectiveness and the side-effects of the vaccine.

      On May 7, the FDA announced that the Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine had been approved to begin its Phase 2 trial. Since its Phase 1 clinical trial concluded successfully, it is safe for healthy people and able to produce a “surrogate endpoint.” As a result, it could be immediately deployed to healthy people in order to create the 60% herd immunity condition that prevents spread of an epidemic.

      Moderna’s Phase 2 clinical trial is scheduled to end mid-summer which will determine whether the vaccine is safe for older people and other groups that would have high mortality rate should they contract COVID-19. If this trial is successful, use of Moderna’s vaccine could immediately be extended to those less-healthy groups.

      There are several additional Covid-19 vaccines waiting in the wings, all of which could be tested quickly if the CDC would simply put the Accelerated Approval Process into place today, just as they did in 2009.

      2. Vaccine Question for Fauci: Why did you tie up Inovio’s vaccine in a year-long Phase 1 clinical trial?

      Inovio Pharmaceuticals was the first company to create a COVID-19 vaccine. Then they made the mistake of agreeing to Fauci’s offer to test their vaccine for free, perhaps not realizing that NIAID planned to tie it up in a year-long Phase 1 clinical trial. Fortunately for the world, Moderna saw what happened to Inovio and avoided making that mistake.

      3. Treatment Question for Redfield: Why haven’t you tested hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) HCQ with a zinc supplement for early treatment of COVID-19?

      When the H1N1 epidemic hit. The CDC quickly tested every promising drug for use in treating the COVID-19 virus. In contrast, when COVID-19 hit, Redfield’s CDC didn’t even bother to conduct clinical trials on those drugs that had worked abroad. Fortunately, Internet research is available to all doctors, and HCQ is a well-known safe drug that is already prescribed for daily use by lupus patients, so many physicians have been prescribing HCQ for COVID-19.

      In April, Dr. Robin Amstrong, whose medical group serves the Resort at Texas City nursing home, successfully treated 56 residents and 31 staff members who had tested positive for COVID-19. He administered HCQ with zinc supplements and an antibiotic for five days. As a result, only one of his patients and not a single staff member died. This compares favorably with the usual Case Fatality Rate of about 15% for patients who are 80 and up.

      Armstrong used the same 5-day course of treatment that had been successfully used by primary care physician Dr. Vladimir Zelenko when COVID-19 raged through the New York Hasidic community that he served. If this treatment proves to be as effective as Armstrong and Zelenko report, then tens of thousands of lives could be saved. But the CDC has not yet conducted a randomized clinical study to determine if it works.

      4. Treatment Question for Fauci: Why did you leave out zinc when testing HCQ with hospitalized zinc-deficient patients?

      Fauci’s NIAID has publicized two studies in which HCQ was given to seriously ill hospitalized patients without administering zinc at the same time. The patients involved were probably zinc deficient, since almost all those who die from COVID-19 are drawn from zinc deficient groups.

      HCQ is a zinc-ionophore (meaning that it helps transport available zinc from the blood stream through cell walls into cells where it slows virus replication). Medical researchers from around the world are currently calling for the combo of HCQ and zinc supplements to be tested, based upon their extensive reviews of the research evidence. These researchers include:

      · Two Michigan researchers, Mujeeb Olushola Shittu and Olufemi Ifeoluwa Afolami

      · Two German researchers: Martin Scholz and Roland Derwand.

      · Two Belgian Researchers: Amir Noeparast and Gil Verschelden.

      The Belgian researchers’ conclusion is especially relevant. They found that when HCQ is administered without zinc to zinc-deficient patients, it could actually reduce the zinc in the part of the cell (the lysosome) where it can do the most good.

      Dr. Jackson in this video (see 40:16 mark) reports that not one of his elderly (and thus zinc-deficient) patients experienced the worsened arrythmias from HCQ in Fauci’s studies of hospitalized patients. In view of the 2007 finding that zinc supplementation combined with a zinc ionophore can prevent heart arrythmias, the explanation could be simple! Jackson gave zinc supplements to his elderly patients along with the HCQ. The studies that Fauci touts did not!

      Instead, of taking the time to keep up with the research regarding zinc and HCQ, Fauci talks daily on the telephone with Andrew Cuomo of anti-Trump CNN, supposedly to ask him about his health. Meanwhile, at the CDC, instead of expediting vaccines and testing treatments, Redfield calls for mail-in voting in the next election, a measure that would benefit Democrats.

      Fauci and Redfield are playing political games while Americans die. Republican Senators need to ask them why they are failing to invoke the Accelerated Approval Process to get out a vaccine right away and why they are failing to test the HCQ-zinc treatment.

  17. Coronavirus doing exactly what the Chinese sent it here to do. I’m wondering how long it will take for “folks” to get back in bed with them.

  18. Filed under — Things that can’t hurt me – and may help:

    Dosing up on the previously neglected, now expired vitamins in the cupboard. I’ve been taking a good hit of Vitamin D daily for a while now, since reading of the first study suggesting it may have beneficial effects. No reminder needed at all now to pop a daily dose of vitamins. C & D currently.

  19. These guys have no idea what the Chinese were doing in the lab in Wuhan. Therefore this is complete conjecture on their behalf.
    Kind of like a global warming prediction.

  20. Now one reason the Wuhan Lab could be suspect,is its very history,designed by the French and built by Chinese Government Contractors..French apparently pulled out when project was 2 years behind schedule and way over budget.
    Now my experience ,when a project goes sideways like that,corners get cut.
    Throw in government involvement and the chances of failure to meet spec grows to damn near a certainty.
    Remember this was to be a secure facility.

    On the masks,the opportunities for mischief grow daily.
    While the virus is a serious business,the endless blunders,contradictions and utter stupidity are there to mock.
    My public mask shall use Justine’s Face.
    I’m a retard 2.
    Hairy Caterpillers for eyebrows?
    As the idiots go full authoritarian hiding your identity becomes necessary..
    And it is legal.
    Every Liberal Activist does it,you should too.
    Get used to going masked in public,it is the new normal.
    Safety First.
    Fake ID’s next.
    fake as in politically correct and totally misleading….I self identify as……at this point in time…due to the quantum aspect of time..I cannot specify which time period I identify as what..Thus there can be no fake identification.

  21. I wear a mask when shopping basically, or when I go into the office, or any other crowd.

    The point of wearing a mask is to prevent MY germs from infecting YOU, you arsehole not wearing a mask. If we all wore masks, we can forget about all this economic suicide and business closures and 6 foot distance an interminable lineups.

    I don’t listen to the experts and their computer models supplied with garbage data with outputs that basically are wild arsed guesses.

    1. Robert I think we agree.
      Masks work.
      The Asians sure seem to believe they do and they have best results so far.
      I am saying we can make masks fashionable and socially useful.
      Instead of V for vendetta stiff plastic masks,I say Justine in Blackface,with mobile eyebrows and a fitting caption.
      As the power of State is being used,in an inept and heavy-handed manner, mockery is called for.
      Pointing out the practical benefits of going masked,should encourage greater use there of..as we are told this Pandemic will drag on all year…Respect Muh Authority.
