Critical Update 07.23.2020

This is only the beginning

This morning I took the time to pour over on the ground reports from an especially hard hit area of Texas. It is a town of about 350,000 people that I'm very familiar with as I lived there for 5 years and still own property there although I haven't been there in about 5 years now.

Despite it being a very backward and uneducated place, this town issued a stay at home order and was conducting temperature checks before there was a single case of COVID in the county.

The first confirmed case was on March 21st. Local experts were predicting a peak in April and that by June, there would be virtually no cases.

Fast forward to July- for the past several weeks the town has been consistently reporting 300-500 new cases a day and 8 people in the town are dying every day this month from the virus.

Doctors and members of the police force have been lost to the virus.

Lines of cars go on for miles at testing sites. Medical staff in full PPE- body suits with tape, face shields, n95 mask with a surgical mask on top of that.

Many people are low income even before the shutdown ravaged the economy. The only shopping mall is now a meal distribution center where the lines of cars waiting for food are just as long as the ones at the testing sites.

It is unclear how the virus spiraled out of control in this town which is almost 3 hours away from any other city. As much as I loath the place, ostensibly they did everything right from the very beginning before there was ever a known case of the virus. It seems like you can run but you can't hide from this thing.

For as much disruption to daily life as it is causing, it has only burned through 2% of the population.

By my calculations, even as quickly as the situation has spiraled out of control there, it will take 4 more years to reach a point of herd immunity at this rate, if that is even possible with this virus.

From everything I'm seeing, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Everything we have seen and experienced so far is just one tenth of what is to come.

Supply chains are already spotty, local budgets are spent and within the next week the economy will implode with bankruptcies and the end of stimulus benefits.

Regional hotspots are on the verge of erupting into conflict. Economic strain and resource scarcity are all it will take to shove things off the cliff.

Those places that haven't been hit very hard by the virus won't be spared, they are just waiting for their turn in the barrel.

I concur with Uncle Doom's assessment: prep like you are the third chimp on the ramp of Noah's Ark and it's starting to rain.

This isn't over by a long shot.

A question on the use of the word "cases" on sites like worldometers and the general parlance I see being used for local reporting.

I wonder what the definition of "case" truly is.

Is it a positive test result? That's my suspicion.

Or is it a unique person? Which I fear it isn't.

If a positive test result is a "case" I have concerns over interpreting the data being reported.

Example: Major League Baseball in the US starts a shortened season tomorrow. Players are being tested every day.

If player Smith tests positive tomorrow he can't play. He's on the "injured list". So he's a "case" on Friday.

If he's tested every day for a week and comes up positive Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday before going negative next Wednesday is he going to be counted as five "cases", the number of positive tests?

Or one "case" because he's still one person, player Smith, who has been tested and found positive five days before returning to a negative test result?

More tests are being done, for sure, but given how many places are now testing pretty frequently, how many individual people are actually represented by that overall number of tests?

These are things I wonder.
 Quoting: Larry D. Croc


good point. from what i see not every place is reporting the same way. very hard to read what they <state,country,etc> are doing as a whole. here it seems a case is a + test. an isolated person is not a test. this keeps the case count down. then after 3 days a + is considered recovered unless in the hospital.

all keeps the count low so the ppl don't panic. keeps the local economy that relies on sales taxes moviing.

now is it incompetance and stupidity or by design on purpose? i've seen too much. i think it is TPTB or elite using the outbreak to cull the population. let the virus spread, blame TRUMP, and then they have power and bring in AI. there were some clues along the way. like when they didn't have the sence to isolate everyone in the homes for months.just isolate the sick person. that was beyond stupid, especially for trained professionals.

COPIED FROM DR. GABRIEL COUSENS*
"Statistical Inefficacy of Lockdowns:
* There appears to be no difference in outcome between lockdown countries and non-lockdown countries. Research in comparing the two approaches did not find a significant difference in outcome. Non-lockdown countries such as Belarus, Sweden, Japan did equal to, and in some situations better, than lockdown countries.
* In countries like the US and the UK, with lockdowns, the overall mortality is in the range of a strong influenza season. In countries where social distancing was not enforced, the rate of mortality may have even been lower than countries with enforced social distancing. For example, in Taiwan, population 24 million, only 7 people have died. In Japan, population 121 million, less than 1,000 died. In Singapore, less than 12 have died, and in Iceland, 10 people have died.
* Because of its low fatality rate, COVID-19 falls into the second tier of the 5-level pandemic plan developed by US authorities. Level-2 calls for only the voluntary isolation of sick people. Further measures such as face masks, contact tracing, school closing, distance rules, vaccinations, and lockdowns of entire societies are not recommended for this tier.
* In May of 2020, Germany’s Bild newspaper wrote, “Lockdown was a Huge Mistake”.
* JP Morgan’s actuarial showed that the longer the lockdown, the greater the death rate. They cite that where no lockdown, such as North Dakota, there are 5 deaths in 100,000. With a 30-day lockdown, there are 8 deaths per 100K. With a 40-day lockdown, there are 16 deaths per 100K. With a 50-day lockdown, there are 20 deaths per 100K. In lockdowns greater than 2 months, there are 32 deaths per 100K. The longest lockdown had 5 times higher fatality compared to the shortest lockdown duration.
* In countries without curfews and contact bans, such as Japan, Belarus, Sweden, South Korea, and Taiwan, there was no increased mortality compared to those with curfews and contact bans.
* Stanford professor and Nobel laureate in chemistry, Michael Levitt, points out that the lockdown didn't save lives but cost many.
* Experts in virology and infectious disease and epidemiology, such as Stanford professor Scott Atlas, who said in an interview with CNN, “The idea of having to stop COVID has created a catastrophic healthcare situation.”
* British Chief medical officer Chris Whitty stated, “There is no danger to the vast majority of the population.”
* Professor Yoram Lass, former director-general of Israel's ministry of health suggests the lockdown measures have been disproportionate and represent a serious threat to hundreds of millions of people. He suggests that people have been intimidated and "brainwashed".
* The German Ministry of the Interior, responsible for disaster protection, in a 100-page analysis on COVID management, described the pandemic as a global false alarm and that the collateral damage caused by the lockdown is significantly higher than the lockdown’s benefit and far exceeds the risk potential of the virus.
* One of the world’s most renowned epidemiology experts, Johan Giesecke, former first chief scientist of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, said, "Measures we should take against the pandemic should be evidence-based. When you start looking at the measures now taken by different countries, very few have a shred of evidence."
* In general, there are over 250 experts worldwide who disagree with the governmental and international attempted enforced COVID-19 dogmas. For example, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons sued the FDA for “irrational interference of access to life saving hydroxychloroquine”. [June 14, 2020] In their lawsuit they say, “Hydroxychloroquine is the first choice in a study of 6,000 doctors in treating the coronavirus.”
* The lockdown has created lethal levels of unemployment with greatly increased levels of suicide, child abuse, spousal abuse, drug abuse, and depression.
* Already, there are reports that isolation measures are triggering more domestic violence in some areas. Prolonged school closings are preventing special needs children from receiving treatment and could presage a rise in dropouts and delinquency. Public health centers will lose funding, causing a decline in their services and the health of their communities. A surge in unemployment to 20% – a forecast now common in Western economies – could cause an additional 20,000 suicides in Europe and the United States among those out of work or entering a near-empty job market.
* A 1% increase in unemployment can result in 39,000 deaths of despair over the next 5 years. Unemployment rates of 15% create an increased rate of suicide up to 800,000 additional deaths. These deaths are labeled "deaths of despair", which include socially isolated people facing an increased risk of death from heart disease.
* The YWCA of Northern New Jersey, in another example, told Reuters its domestic violence calls have risen 24%.
* Mandatory quarantines have been shown to have devastating impacts on the social, economic, psychological, physical, and spiritual wellbeing of healthy individuals.
* In the history of pandemics, there's never been any quarantine of healthy people. This quarantine of healthy people is a dangerous approach with no scientific validity.
* Is the cure worse than the disease, where fear and anxiety have kept people focused on the small picture rather than the big picture, such as 130 million people in Africa starving to death from the effects of the lockdown in the US?
* The sage Dr. Alan Keys said, “I raise the question that individual fear for life is disproportionate to losing our way of life and our very nation and freedom.”
Inefficacy of Masks:
* Worldwide research on mask efficacy showed no difference in outcome whether one wears a mask or not.
* A cross country study published by the University of East Anglia concluded that the mask requirement has no benefit and may increase the risk of infection.
* Two US professors in respiratory protection from the University of Illinois explain in an essay that the masks do not affect self-protection or protection of third parties. As noted in the news, masks didn't prevent the outbreak of the virus in Wuhan.
* In the New England Journal of Medicine (May 2020), an article appeared that concluded that masks offer little or no protection in everyday life. The call for a mask requirement was described as “irrational fear reflex”.
* In searching the worldwide literature, there is no peer-reviewed study showing the efficacy of face masks amongst healthy or asymptomatic individuals. Research suggests that people who are physically sick should wear facemasks to protect those around them. In emergency and surgery rooms, facemasks prevent saliva and nasal secretions from falling onto the ill and operated upon and are not necessarily for prevention against viral disease.
* Wearing a mask may be detrimental to your health.
* It's not natural to rebreathe exhaled air. Masks increase levels of CO2 which raises it in the blood to potentially harmful levels. Excess CO2 is associated with mental confusion, unclear thinking, visual disturbances, headaches, and nausea. If you insist on wearing a mask, don't do it while driving as it decreases one's ability to drive safely.
* Wearing a mask may further compromise those with existing lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and COPD
* Facemasks cause people to rebreathe exhaled viruses, increasing the number of viruses in the nose, giving these access to the brain via olfactory nerves.
* N95 masks have been shown to lower blood oxygen up to 20% below the normal levels, which may cause blackout or death in those already oxygen compromised.
* WHO has issued a statement saying, “No evidence of asymptomatic COVID-19 transmission, so no need for restrictions if you’re not sick.” This statement suggests that asymptomatic people are not contagious and implies that only symptomatic people should wear masks.
* Dr. John Ioannidis, professor of medicine and health research policy at Stanford stated, “If COVID-19 deaths were added to the flu deaths from last seasons, we would see no noticeable difference from normal deaths from flu.”
COVID-19 and Children:
* Countries that had reopened their schools in May of 2020 saw no increases in cases of infection. Sweden, which never closed its primary schools had no increase in the incidence of COVID-19 cases in children.
Short-lived Existence of COVID-19 Antibodies (raising the question of vaccine efficacy):
* A study in the Journal of Nature Medicine suggests that the antibodies against COVID-19 post-infection may be lost after 2 months [and may not offer any validity to herd immunity].
OVID-19 having lifelong protection.
* The results of these studies certainly cast doubt on the idea of immunity passports.
COVID-19 Vaccine:
* Many medical experts feel that the proposed coronavirus vaccine is unnecessary or even dangerous.
* An increasing number of scientific evidence suggests that vaccination may increase the risk of harmful or deadly overreaction (such as cytokine storm) to the virus, or simply severe lung damage.
* A Pentagon study showed those vaccinated against the flu are 36% more likely to contract COVID-19.
* One study found children younger than 18 who received the flu vaccination had a higher risk of developing viral pneumonia.
* An Australia study showed a 55% greater risk of developing a lung infection after vaccination.
* Vaccinated children had a 4.4-time greater risk of developing a serious viral lung infection.

Critical Update 07.23.2020

This is only the beginning

This morning I took the time to pour over on the ground reports from an especially hard hit area of Texas. It is a town of about 350,000 people that I'm very familiar with as I lived there for 5 years and still own property there although I haven't been there in about 5 years now.

Despite it being a very backward and uneducated place, this town issued a stay at home order and was conducting temperature checks before there was a single case of COVID in the county.

The first confirmed case was on March 21st. Local experts were predicting a peak in April and that by June, there would be virtually no cases.

Fast forward to July- for the past several weeks the town has been consistently reporting 300-500 new cases a day and 8 people in the town are dying every day this month from the virus.

Doctors and members of the police force have been lost to the virus.

Lines of cars go on for miles at testing sites. Medical staff in full PPE- body suits with tape, face shields, n95 mask with a surgical mask on top of that.

Many people are low income even before the shutdown ravaged the economy. The only shopping mall is now a meal distribution center where the lines of cars waiting for food are just as long as the ones at the testing sites.

It is unclear how the virus spiraled out of control in this town which is almost 3 hours away from any other city. As much as I loath the place, ostensibly they did everything right from the very beginning before there was ever a known case of the virus. It seems like you can run but you can't hide from this thing.

For as much disruption to daily life as it is causing, it has only burned through 2% of the population.

By my calculations, even as quickly as the situation has spiraled out of control there, it will take 4 more years to reach a point of herd immunity at this rate, if that is even possible with this virus.

From everything I'm seeing, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Everything we have seen and experienced so far is just one tenth of what is to come.

Supply chains are already spotty, local budgets are spent and within the next week the economy will implode with bankruptcies and the end of stimulus benefits.

Regional hotspots are on the verge of erupting into conflict. Economic strain and resource scarcity are all it will take to shove things off the cliff.

Those places that haven't been hit very hard by the virus won't be spared, they are just waiting for their turn in the barrel.

I concur with Uncle Doom's assessment: prep like you are the third chimp on the ramp of Noah's Ark and it's starting to rain.

This isn't over by a long shot.

another thing that ppl don't realize and should start to b awaare of is the dog and cat populations near them. in hard times,those will not b fed. domesticated dogs will go back to being wild. the neighbor's pet dobermans and german shephards will become hungry wolves. 1 ankle biter won't bother you,but what if u run into 20 of them?

will it get that way and how long before it? hard to say. the govern. is so good at playing "kick the can". they have done it thru the summer. America is very spoiled. we haven't lived with hard times that other nations have seen. but we are not invincable. the higher we are the farther and harder the fall will be too.

in the Great Depression era,ppl depended on themself. now we have swung completely left. ppl depend on the govern and supply chains.

 Quoting: CleverCreator


"them thinking" do u mean ppl or government? this is a problem. the ppl think and relie on govern. govern does have ideas long term. but it is not to save u. it is COG,to save themselves. i'd bet the govern does have more knowledge than they let us in on.

predicting what the govern's ideas are is not easy.they kick the can to buy time. they give hints of the immediate future< usually a month or so>. but long term is much harder to see. best i can tell is bring inj AI which is a decade or 2 away.this virus with the recovery time runs up to the AI.

so no i don't see the govern ,or elite if u prefer, saving us the ppl. i do see them keeping the lights on as long as possable since it keeps them in control. that leaves a lot of time in the middle to try and figure out what our enemy will do.

The irony for me is that I'm old and poor and I'm the only one I know who tried to grow food this year and who is thinking about how to survive this winter with no power. I have no extra resources, and I know folks with money, strength and time who are wasting it all on trying to recoup a life that is never going back to normal.
No one but me sees the new normal around here.
If you watch that show Jericho, the most shocking thing to me was that the young and strong town's people spent their time in the bar by candle light instead of organizing some food production. No one thinks of food production anymore. No one knows how to do it anymore, except for the illegal immigrants who do it for us and are dying of covid.
We are so screwed and no one around me knows it. A lot of us on glp are in that boat.

San Antonio, Texas saw 1688 new COVID19 cases yesterday. Mayor Nirenberg reported that for the last week, daily new cases in San Antonio averaged at 1200. The week before that, daily new case averages were 600. We are all hoping this surge is due to 4th of July partying.

One thing’s for sure. Governor Abbott killed a whole lot of Texans by opening up our state too early. And it appears that putting the genie back in he bottle is easier said than done.

Good day from a sunny Moscow hf +19.3C outside and the garden is being very productive, if infested by snails.

Today Russia has a total of 795 038 cases, which is 5848 more then last time. Of those 580 330 people have recovered and 12 892 have passed away.

Moods are a bit lifted by the lovely sunshine here. Getting in touch with the Norwegian University to see how long they could wait for my arrival before deciding I'm not worthy. May buy my saving campaign a few extra days.

Antwerp Belgium, had more cases in one day (370) than during the May peak of the pandemic
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78592066

There is at this moment in Belgium a highly ominous increase again of COVID-19 infections with about 12 cluster sources - Antwerp being the most virulent. Contact tracing appears to be relatively ineffective.

Antwerp mayor Bart De Wever did not wait for the government to publish its new set of rules for the second wave and has already started implementing some new, more severe restrictions (such as, in bars or restaurants you will have to wear a facemask if you move around - i.e. go to the bathroom).

Re contact tracing - starting now, asking infected persons where they have been is now allowed, whereas it was not until now.

A question on the use of the word "cases" on sites like worldometers and the general parlance I see being used for local reporting.

I wonder what the definition of "case" truly is.

Is it a positive test result? That's my suspicion.

Or is it a unique person? Which I fear it isn't.

If a positive test result is a "case" I have concerns over interpreting the data being reported.

Example: Major League Baseball in the US starts a shortened season tomorrow. Players are being tested every day.

If player Smith tests positive tomorrow he can't play. He's on the "injured list". So he's a "case" on Friday.

If he's tested every day for a week and comes up positive Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday before going negative next Wednesday is he going to be counted as five "cases", the number of positive tests?

Or one "case" because he's still one person, player Smith, who has been tested and found positive five days before returning to a negative test result?

More tests are being done, for sure, but given how many places are now testing pretty frequently, how many individual people are actually represented by that overall number of tests?

These are things I wonder.
 Quoting: Larry D. Croc


good point. from what i see not every place is reporting the same way. very hard to read what they <state,country,etc> are doing as a whole. here it seems a case is a + test. an isolated person is not a test. this keeps the case count down. then after 3 days a + is considered recovered unless in the hospital.

all keeps the count low so the ppl don't panic. keeps the local economy that relies on sales taxes moviing.

now is it incompetance and stupidity or by design on purpose? i've seen too much. i think it is TPTB or elite using the outbreak to cull the population. let the virus spread, blame TRUMP, and then they have power and bring in AI. there were some clues along the way. like when they didn't have the sence to isolate everyone in the homes for months.just isolate the sick person. that was beyond stupid, especially for trained professionals.
 Quoting: JAZZz50


According to Wordsie, the method of counting varies by State. Some count test positives and some count individual positives.

The numbers are completely unreliable, and the tests are veritable crap. I mean, 30 percent false negatives and 20 percent false positives doesn't give me any faith in the testing at all. May as well throw spaghetti at the wall and if it sticks say you're positive. If not, negative.

So, I'm going to reitterate what we experienced with my hubby.

Did telemedicine. The doctor is a legit doctor and he interviewed quite extensively and listened to breathing and coughing. Based on symptoms, he was diagnosed with Covid.

The doctor said there is NO NEED to go get a test as they are only ordering testing for people that they are not certain have Covid. So they're only ordering tests for questionable cases.

Goes along with DR's modeling, imo. Also the recent CDC release about up to 13x more infected than counted.

If the tests were actually accurate, say over 90% accurate, we would have gone to get one...Maybe. DNA collection and contact tracing is a concern as well.

The only reasonably logical thing to do is to treat everyone as if they have this. With the massive antimask campaign, it's just about certain that most will have this. Asymptomatic spread is a PITA.
Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy
