CDC updates guidelines, now says people exposed to coronavirus may not need to be tested

PLease note in the first link that I provided that the number of Covid deaths in June, July and August were reportedly back in the thousands supposedly showing a “second wave”. However, deaths from all causes continued to decrease through this same time period. Does this make any sense? Only if they are calling deaths from other causes... Covid deaths. Which is exactly what the authorities have become more adept at doing throughout this “crisis” most likely because there are financial incentives to do so.

How many patients have died because they couldn’t go for scans and treatments which allowed the cancer to progress to an untreatable level?

When all is said and done the number who died from not getting treatment for the statistically more significant killers will most likely be larger than the actual number of Covid deaths. My brother in law had a cancerous brain tumor, they said it was too dangerous for him to come in to get treatment and put him on hospice care instead. When he died his death was classified as a “presumptive covid death” by CDC guidelines. This was my first clue that something was seriously amiss with the accounting system in place.

Very sorry to hear about your brother in law. That is a tough ordeal.

My son has brain cancer and was determined to be terminal last winter. He did not want to stop fighting so he was able to try an experimental drug thanks to President Trump who got the Right to Try legislation passed. On the first night of the RNC Natalie Harp talked about it.

So it was too dangerous for someone like my son to go to a clinic and be around other people. They set up a small office in a separate building for that purpose. He would go in and be the only patient there. They could do the blood draws and such and then clean the place thoroughly for the next high risk patient.

I am sorry to hear of the difficulties you and your family have been going through.

Saddly my poor brother-in-law spent over 40 years married to a person who made him miserable most of the time. I hate to say it, but when he got the cancer diagnosis I fear that he saw it as a way out. He did have a parade of people who came to say their goodbyes. He had no fight in him at all. No attempts of any kind were made to extend his time on this earth. He died much more quickly than predicted, more likely the result of over-medication than Covid.

In early 1990 he came to my wife and told her he had fallen in love with another woman. They were always very close. She told him he should fix his relationship with his wife, so he tried. She now feels that she should have told him to follow his own conscience and heart and not have interfered. He was a great guy and just retired a couple of years ago.

Not to be insensitive but the old joke comes into play there.

Why do married men die before their wives????

Because they want to.

But what you said is correct. The will to live is the most powerful cure there is sometimes.

Sadly, the “joke” is dead on accurate in this situation. He married his high school sweetheart a little less than 50 years ago. (Time goes by so fast!) She was a beautiful young woman but their were plenty of warning signs before they got married that problems were just around the corner. She started puting on weight immediately after they got married and has been a morbidly obese nasty witch ever since. He completely lost control over his life. Even the obituary posted on the internet was all about her.

He made the one attempt that we know of to escape... we both feel very bad now that we did not support him. It ran against what we believe about marriage, divorce, and family. But we knew he was miserable and had a miserable life. It was a waste.

The media is fixated on “new cases” but have little or no interest in “deaths”. This is because so many positive tests are of asymptomatic people who never get sick. Ask why this preoccupation with statistics is absolutely a new response to what would otherwise be a bad flu season.

I know a guy whose 91-year old aunt died from corona in a Philadelphia area nursing home.

Her 94-year old husband shared the room with her. Despite sharing a room with a woman who died of this he never got sick, and never tested positive.

I sincerely hope that this has not happened to your wife. The Mayo Clinic is a world leader in cancer treatment and she is in the best of hands as you face this disease together. May you know God’s peace and comfort at this time.

This will kill the infection rate by eliminating all the false positives on people who have no symptoms. In our county the actual infection rate is at most half of what the reported rate is because of the false positives and the number of people counted multiple times because they are reported as a new case each time they get tested.

And yet, at the same time the mortality rate will spike like crazy because the official number of deaths stays the same, but the 'out of' cases drops a bunch.
