I don’t know which FReeQ to thank for the link to the interview with Dr. Erickson - I’ve lost the post.
Listening to the two physicians in California use actual clinical data to explain that Covid-19 is equivalent to seasonal flu in terms of statistics (who gets it, who dies from it, who gets over it without assistance) and compares data among US, Spain, and a few other countries (one that quarantined, one that didnt’). Reporters in the room debate them - challenging them to explain how they can disagree with the world renowned Dr. Fauci. One Dr. noted this debate or “arguing a point” and the reporter denied it, insisting he was simply asking a question.
The reporter asked how their data can vary, the second doctor makes the point that they are the ones literally interacting with patients, whereas Dr. Fauci is an academic who hasn’t treated a patient in 20 years.
Dr. Erickson makes the point that the immune system system weakens in isolation (antigen creation decreases)and he says the longer isolated, the more likely illnesses will spike when quarantine ends.
Dr. Erickson notes that historical, this is the first time the healthy have been quarantined, normally the sick are quarantined.
I copied the auto-generated transcript but it’s so long I don’t want to put it on thread. I placed in in Festival on the last thread if anyone would like to read the transcript of the 51 minute video.

Quarantining the people who have the disease works, when you know they have it. However, it seems as though many people have it and don’t know it. So-like typhoid Mary they are infecting people.
It seems this disease is also more contagious than the regular flu. Also the goal was to slow down the spread to allow time for getting the equipment and people positioned to be able to fight the virus and avoid a collapse of the medical system. However, the hospitals have responded by stopping their normal activities to concentrate on CV.
This is having a bad impact on the system’s financial health-and continuing this will result in collapse of the system from the bad financial situation. They need to have a separate facility or wing for CV and go back to normal activities—and the personnel for CV should be used exclusively for that —possibly some sort of rotation schedule could be worked out. We can’t stay locked up forever.
Here’s an interesting article I ran across-just a brief excerpt and link is below:
The coronavirus remains the No. 1 cause of death in America on a day-to-day basis, vastly outpacing deaths from cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, obesity, accidents, shootings and all violent crime combined. Nothing is killing more Americans right now, day to day, than the coronavirus. Clearly it isn’t “just the flu.”
I do not see how they get from “20% of those with symptoms test positive” to “20% of the whole population must be positive.”
Just sayin’.
