Another Freeper pointed out that many cell phones have the 02 sensor (it uses the infrared light camera sensor).

The app came with my Samsung phone under Samsung Apps, then “Samsung Health”, and then they have a “stress” test that measures pulse and O2 as you hold the sensor to your finger.

I forget now, but it is accurate to 2% or so. My typical number is a 97%. IIRC above 95% is fine. Below 90% is time to worry about it and add O2. Below 83% is long-term damaging.

Hmm - it was 98% now, but pulse was a bit higher. Perhaps that extra pulse (not relaxed) is forcing more blood and O2 to my finger tips? My circulation to my fingers and toes isn’t the greatest. Of course with 2% error, 97 is the same as 98.

The CDC/FEMA report the media is mis-representing.
Actually has good news, and lots of it.

Sure the high estimate is 3000/day, but the low estimate is a few hundred.

Ricardo Machado Ricardo Machado 4 days ago (edited) I have been trying to get this idea out there but nobody listens to me!! Aminaphtone will solve the problem!! Aminaphtone to stabilizes endothelial cells and avoid release of endothlin-1 and many other factors such as ELAM, VCAM and ICAM,all those factor are linked to anti-phospholipid antibody surge in the body. Aminaphtone also reduce levels of TNF-B and IL-6. Cheap, low toxicity and very few side effects. Please listen to me!!! Some articles to support my claim https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2016.04.018 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinthera.2008.05.009 https://doi.org/10.2165/00126839-200809040-00005 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2011.05.060 DOI: 10.1002/1529-0131(199805)41:5<800::AID-ART5>3.0.CO;2-J DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosissup.2017.05.039

Whopping 373 workers at meatpacking plant test positive for COVID-19 — and they were all asymptomatic

Something doesn't add up in these mass numbers of people testing positive but asymptomatic. When South Korea followed their contact tracing, and tested everyone they could find who was exposed, they found very few asymptomatic positive cases. 96% or more of positive cases develop symptoms within 14 days. They have published several case studies showing this, including this one with 4% positive cases being asymptomatic within 2 weeks:

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/8/20-1274_article

The odds that they caught 373 people, every one of them "presymptomatic", is astronomically small. Are people lying about symptoms so they can work, or are the tests producing false positives, or something else?

That’s so cool. I didn’t even known I had that. 96 so I’m good!

Thanks for the ping.

How many of you have seen the video of the Nevada nurse who is working in an NYC hospital?

It is chilling. She gives a vivid account of how the resident MDs are actually killing covid patients.

There is 100% Mortality. The patients are mainly black and poor.

She has asked everywhere for help, even Black Lives Matter and the Black Panthers!

No one will help.

I think I understand now why that young NY doctor committed suicide.

The video is on Gateway Pundit.

I came across it while reading about Trump calling Scarborough a Psycho.

That is horrible about the blood clotting.

What effect do ventilators have on viscous blood?

Why are people dying from being ventilated?

Early on Dr Zelinkos plan should be used but if later Vitamin C by IV perhaps. See two links. Also for me I believe in Vitamin C in large dosages early on to fight against colds even though I’m told I don’t need that much, but I get better turnaround with using it along with frozen grapefruit or orange juice in early stages of cold. Along with the zinc lozenges but the directions for lozenges say to use it early when symptoms first are seen and later they wont help so much.

Samsung S9+ has an iris scanner for security. My fingerprints are very hard to read. Iris is much easier. It made it simple to secure my phone.

One excerpt...

“… Under the new waivers and rule changes, Medicare will no longer require an order from the treating physician or other practitioner for beneficiaries to get COVID-19 tests and certain laboratory tests required as part of a COVID-19 diagnosis. During the Public Health Emergency, COVID-19 tests may be covered when ordered by any healthcare professional authorized to do so under state law. To help ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have broad access to testing related to COVID-19, a written practitioner’s order is no longer required for the COVID-19 test for Medicare payment purposes... “

“Lots of research says the masks are of marginal or no value.”

Well, they keep your virus-laden snot out of my lungs, so wear one as common courtesy.

Lots of research says that, too.

He’s going to be sooooo easy.

Speaking of playbooks:

Jan 24 - Details of CDC test publically announced. ...The nation had developed its own diagnostic tests for the Ebola and Zika viruses and opted to use the same playbook again, William Schaffner, a CDC adviser and infectious-disease specialist at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, told Business Insider.
