Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
dr, I very much appreciate all the work you have done here.

While there is still entirely too much that we don't know, we can know for certain that the economic effect of China tanking is going to have severe ramifications for the rest of the developed world. Just that alone will be difficult.

Then there are all the things we don't know, like average lethal infections, length of times for infectivity before and after symptoms, whether or not there will even be a test that is better than 40% accurate, and on and on.

So we can only prepare as best we can. There's no containing this. And I suspect a great number of existent pneumonia cases are actually Covid 19.

I'm still looking at the Japanese cruise ship as our control model. Do you agree or disagree with that view?

Obviously there are numerous variables we don't know, like age, health status even nationalities of the people on board, nor do we know about their diets and/or supplements.
Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy

And NOBODY would read it...heck, half the people here didn't even read the entire main post, which is nothing.


Just look at how much time and words I used to answer a SINGLE question.

But I bet a ton of people won't read this entire reply.

I am.

I’ve been watching this thread (and the -001 thread) several times a day since they were posted and I’ve been prepping accordingly. Besides ensuring I am well stocked in supplies, yesterday I also converted some investments to cash, and I will be withdrawing all investments from the market next week (despite my 20% return in 2019).
In other words, I and many others of GLP are taking your posts VERY seriously and ACTING on those posts accordingly.

Reading comprehension has long been a problem among many GLPers for many years.

Please don’t become frustrated with the village idiots of GLP. Recognize there is a large and growing crowd that are indeed hanging on your every word (while also understanding it’s a moving target, but a very real target).

Thank you for what you’re doing for all of us.

 Quoting: Close_with&destroy



I have seen it, but I choose to ignore because it is based on China numbers.

Not only that, but if the R0 would indeed be over 4.0, the world would be already fucked, today.


My model is built on an R0 value of 2.4-2.6. Granted, it is a mathematical model, and not a true epidemic model...because I do not have the data. CDC doesn't have it...and if they do have it, they don't make it public.


An epidemic model of R0 value over 4.0 might have lower numbers than a mathematical model built on an R0 of 2.2., because an epidemic model have the data from infection cycle, or hop.

I do not know if the cycle is 24 hrs, or 9 hrs...or 72 hrs. I have no idea, because such information is not available.

I chose my cycle to be 24 hrs, based on what a normal person, infected with the virus, does in 24 hrs : wakes up, goes to work and come back home.

Now, that person is asymptomatic at first, and he might or might not be contagious enough to spread the virus to other 2.4-2.6 people in 24 hrs.

He might get infected on a Friday, and he doesn't go to work on Saturday and Sunday. He might live alone. Or he have a big family...

All these variables are taken into consideration when making a model, and as I said, my model, the LONGER this pandemic goes unchecked, the closer will be to the real numbers, because all the variables start to balance toward a mathematical constant.


Think of this model like a fishing contest, where someone tries to determine the median number of fish caught in 24 hrs., while the number of fishermen involved in the contest rises every day.

The more fishermen are present, the better the determination of the median number of fish caught, and at some point, the mathematical value will be almost 100% correct.


The more people get infected and them more time passes, the variables start to equalize toward a mathematical number.

Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
ITS LIKE A MASSIVE SLOW MOTION TRAIN WRECK - That’s what it feels like we are watching – a massive slow motion catastrophic train wreck as it is happening live. Lots and lots of conspiracy stories developing from aliens to the UN. Doesn’t matter at this point. The only thing that matters at this point is how serious is this virus going to be for each one of us. Sleep does not come as easily as usual, for many of us now. I am only posting in this thread as some of you know. Props to Lady Jayne Smith for keeping this thread short and clean. Hats off to you. I still believe OPs numbers are good. The issue I am focusing on now is Wuhan numbers and deaths outside of China. Ratios and reporting numbers should really start moving, starting tonight coming from outside of China. I am afraid the Wuhan numbers that will be reported beginning with todays or tomorrow’s numbers (numbers will be bogus of course) will start to decrease as these newly reported decreasing numbers will be interpreted by global media as the virus is dying and all will be normal soon. We are already seeing hints of this in the media. Do not be fooled by this.

Also the global supply chain is already beginning to decrease and freight ship activity leaving the China region is already slowing down. Large companies are already closing plants temporarily (yeah right) because of China supply chain issues. This is huge as these corporate measures will affect shareholders thus affecting the market price of the company’s share price. It is the prudent thing to do as a CEO but the equivalent of cutting off your leg to stay alive. This entire CoV event might be a global reset orchestrated to forgive sovereign (each countries) debt while culling the entire global herd too. See I told you there are lots of conspiracy theories. But this one (mine) is making more and more sense to me. It still does not change my firm belief that - Where you live will determine if/how you survive this ordeal.

Below I am providing some items you might want to get for this and any future event. They will come in handy and may not be available for too much longer (remember supply chain). Just search the term on Amazon or elsewhere. I do know all these items are still available at Amazon and can be delivered to your door next day delivery.

Oxygen Blood Level Meter (this is very important) - $15-$20
Virus Killing Light or Light Bulb - $16-$150
Make Your Own Colloidal Silver - $30- $200
Clear Lungs Supplement Extra Strong (Excellent, I use it daily) - $25
Cytokine Suppress Supplement - $17
 Quoting: IdeaMan1624


I wanted to follow up on this as I have a first-hand experience. Back when this whole thing broke around the 17th, in one of the threads someone suggested the Clear Lungs supplement. I bought a bottle and haven't thought about it since.

Well, 2 days ago I picked up some sort of respiratory sickness with stuffy head, coughing, and a headache (no fever). So about 4 hours ago I said what the hell, I'll give the Clear Lungs a try. Dayquill was doing nothing.

After about 1-1/2 hours I showed a very nice improvement. I became less congested and could breath easier. I'm not going to claim a miraculous cure or anything, but if I put a number to it I went from 25% effective to 50-60% effective. So just an FYI, it did seem to help me.
 Quoting: Bud Fox



Good for you. I think it is the bomb. It has allowed me to get that deep full lungs breath anytime I desire. It has really helped me I take one in the morning and one before bed every day for 2-3 years now. Really has helped me.
 Quoting: IdeaMan1624


An amazon search yields a variety of results... care to share a brand or the specific product that is working for you?

Thank you!
 Quoting: Azaziah


The one I ordered was the Ridgecrest Herbals Clear Lungs - Chinese Herbal Formula. It worked well for me. Next time I will try Extra Strength as the other poster suggested, just to see if it is better.

There is no "doom's day", what will happen is that, in the next few days, it may start to have outbreaks all over the world and there will probably be at least one case of panic in a big city. But if you want a specific day, from what I understand from what OP wrote, I would say, February 18th.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78442634



There won't be any quarantines in the West, as long as the hospitals are managing the influx of patients.

After that point, anything is possible, but London won't be in a lock-down.

Some areas, in South and East London, might be actually be quarantined, because, well, those area are the most "diverse", if you catch my drift.

I lived in London for almost 3 years...traveling on daily basis across all London. Like any other major city, the underground system is overcrowded. ONE INFECTED person on Central Line at rush hour, and London is toast.


If London or other major capital in the West will ever reach the need for a total lock-down...the world is done for decades, if not more.

It will be the worst-case scenario.

OP, that would be an interesting point to add to the green section on Pg 1.

1. Test kits are in limited supply;

2. Test kits are only 25% reliable;

3. Governments and MSM are hiding the real numbers.

Snippet:
By grafting HIV proteins into a flu virus, renegade researcher Yoshihiro Kawaoka not only increased a dormant virus’s ability to replicate but, in the process of repeating this technique in his subsequent virus research, has unleashed ruthlessly aggressive hybrids with massive killing power as seen in the unstoppable slaughter of innocents in Wuhan. The exponential expansion of the death toll in China, soon to be repeated in other countries, proves that a persistent laxity of ethical standards in the major powers, and abysmal performance of the WHO, has enabled a maniacal campaign of extermination by the heirs of Unit 731 to realize their mission of genocide. The lawless pharmaceuticals, insane vaccinators and rogue microbiologists must be stopped in their tracks or humanity will face its final solution.

OP, you show approximately a doubling every day for cases outside of China. Please explain.

If that was the case, the pandemic would have been over in China by early January. As it is, they have yet to reach the peak of the pandemic after over two months.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77706747



Why would the epidemic been over in China by early January?

Do you know when it started? Because not even the Chinese know.

In theory, the entire population of China would be infected in 1 month. Yes, in THEORY, and in perfect circumstances, in 31 days, the entire on China would be infected.

But in real world, there are thousands of reason why an epidemic might get slower or faster.

We don't know much about China in general, and Wuhan, especially. There is very possible, and highly probable that the epidemic was in Wuhan for a very long time, and I have no time or the will to write a paper on this subject.

The R0 is nothing but a theoretical value, that is used in MODELING, and not applied to the real world.

We know that Wuhan is a main transportation hub, and this is the main reason why the epidemic spread all over China, but we don't know WHEN and HOW.

When an epidemic starts, there is a patient Zero. The Patient Zero might not be contagious for DAYS...or he might be contagious after 1 minute. We DO NOT KNOW.

Same for patients 1 and 2, infected by P0 at some point. They also might become contagious after DAYS.
Again, WE DO NOT KNOW.

P0 might have been stayed indoors, with P1 and P2, his buddies, for 3-4 days, with booze and food...or all of them might have been traveling to separate destinations in day 1 : one to Shanghai, one to Beijing, and one to Shenzen.

WE DON'T KNOW.


So, yes, while in theory, in 7 days there might be 127 infected people...there might as well be only 13, or 17, or 310, depending on how contagious were the infected people, where they work (or not), how they travel, when and where, what social life they have, family size, where their family lives, where they go, etc. etc.

WE DON'T KNOW.


What we ALMOST know, is when the critical stages are reached in an epidemic, mainly when there are hundreds of CONFIRMED cases, in 2 or more locations, and when those cases were confirmed

From that point on, the models begin to get closer to reality...but the models are still far from reality. We still need to know the incubation period and how contagious are the people that are still in the incubation phase...but again, we STILL DON'T KNOW THAT.


Depending on the situation, an epidemic might take WEEKS before it reaches the stage of hundreds of confirmed cases, which would imply thousands of infected people.

This is a theoretical model for 2 weeks, where all the infected patients are equally contagious, and all of them infect another 2 people :
DAY - INFECTED
1-1
2-2
3-4
4-8
5-16
6-32
7-64
8-128
9-256
10-512
11-1,024
12-2,048
13-4,096
14-8,192

At the end of 14 days, we would have a total of 16,383 infected people.
(At the end of 31 days, we would have like 1.6 billion infected people).

Now, add in a single variable : the infected people are not contagious for 2 days.

Well...this means that it would take 28 days for the same number of 16,383 people to be infected.

Add one more variable : the incubation period is 14 days, and the infection chance for people within the incubation period is half of those that are symptomatic.

This means that we would get the same 16,383 people infected in 56 days.


Obviously, all of the examples are THEORETICAL. But you should get the idea. It HIGHLY depends how contagious people are in the incubation period, after the incubation period, where they live, travel, etc. etc.

What you and everyone else needs to understand is that there are critical stages in an epidemic.

We all know that China lies about the numbers, that is a given. But we also know that China took measures that slowed down the epidemic, mainly full lock-downs of cities (and withing those cities, lock-down of buildings and districts) and provinces and travel restrictions between cities and provinces.

All those measure matter in slowing down an epidemic that is already affecting thousands in 2 or more locations.


My model is a theoretical one, and it might be wrong, but it is closer and closer to reality the more time passes.

I can be off by several days, or even a week or two...the MAIN ISSUE is that except China, NOBODY ELSE took ANY measures to slow down the pandemic WITHIN THEIR COUNTRIES and BETWEEN THEIR COUNTRIES.

Sure, many stopped flights to China...but China didn't stopped flights to other countries. Taking the temperature in airports is completely useless. Well, let's say 99% useless. They might get 1-2 people here and there with fever or whatever.

But did anyone stopped flights between the U.S. and Germany? Or U.K. and Japan? Nope. Everyone is still happily traveling all over the fucking world and nobody is testing them...because it is IMPOSSIBLE to do it.


My model predicts a number of 200-250 million people infected at the end of February 15th. I am 100% SURE AS HELL that I am wrong, because I do not know how and when the first infected guy outside China got infected, who he infected, how contagious he was, the incubation period, where he lives, etc.etc.

But what I do know is that even if I am off by a week...this pandemic is full blown outside China, because NOBODY is stopping traveling between countries, inside countries, nobody is locking-down cities or areas in a city.

In other words, my model numbers for February 15th could be the numbers from February 7th., and there are only 550-700k infected outside China, instead 200-250 million.

Do you think THAT MATTERS even a little bit?

It matters not, because when we are in hundreds of thousands, the models are very close to reality, and instead of having 250 million infected outside China on February 15th...we will have them on February 23rd.

There are so many variables in a model, and if I would have posted THE ENTIRE MODEL I HAVE, it would be a fucking book or a 6 hours power point presentation.

And NOBODY would read it...heck, half the people here didn't even read the entire main post, which is nothing.


Just look at how much time and words I used to answer a SINGLE question.

But I bet a ton of people won't read this entire reply.

Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
Which brings us to an amazing idea...Why not transfer suspected/infected cases to cruiseships, instead of dropping people off in cities? The folks that were recently dropped off in California, should have been taken to a large cruiseship where at least the spreading stops hopefully at that point for time being until properly tested/researched.


Also, would like to thank you OP for keeping us updated with your model findings

Michael they have taken you away,
For you stole trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn,
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

I cannot convince you that my numbers are the real ones.

Don't try. Encourage people to go out and find the truth themselves. I have a feeling this is the great culling, it's only been talked about forever. The math is truly frightening. All you have to do really is put one number in at the top right-hand corner of excel for day 1 and just put a 1 in that cell. Put your formula into the adjacent cell referencing cell A1 or A2. That is day 2, now just pull that plus sign down 60 cells. And that's just a very crude but somewhat decent estimate, all based off of the R0.
Come on and take a free ride.
