Yes I know. But if the flu vaccine given for seasonal flu prevented some deaths, then the CV19 10 times fatality rate is flawed.

If we had no seasonal flu vaccine, then I suspect that number would be higher, resulting in less than a 10x factor.

CV19 did not have the benefit of having an immunization available.

I think increased vitamin D production from being outside more, and an increase in sunlight levels in summer is also a significant factor in lowering numbers of diseases from viruses.

Coronavirus Lockdown! Now It Gets Tough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRR2ot8CuM4

Chris & Peak Prosperity in their efforts to provide continuing coverage of the Corona virus outbreak.

With millions now living under home lockdown (or as it is more gently referred to, "mandatory shelter in place") the serious reality of the coronavirus' impact is sinking in.

Living within the confines of your home, squeezed in with family members, can be frustrating and stressful. Especially when you're seeing your savings vaporize in the markets on a daily basis.

On top of that, many households aren't receiving income while under lockdown. And many of those still with jobs are increasingly fearful that the longer this persists, the more likely their job will be lost in the coming mass layoffs.

The key to preserving your happiness and sanity during this undetermined period of house arrest will be maintaining your emotional resilience, as well as healthy relationships with those living under your roof.

With expert guidance on how to do that, Chris takes time in today's video update to interview Dr. Peter Boghossian, best-selling author of the book 'How To Have Impossible Conversations'.

Dr Boghossian explains how to get your spouse, your kids, your elderly/at risk family members, onto or at least nearer to a mutual understanding of the 'house rules' that will preserve safety, respect and harmony.

In most of North America there is not enough sunlight to produce adequate D3 between mid Sep and mid Mar. Even on sunny days.

What sun you get is filtered through more atmosphere and of a shorter duration.

And D3 is essential to the body’s ability to fight off infection along with C.

A couple of slaps upside the head works too, and it’s easier.

The increase in sunlight levels (not temperature per se) is a possible mitigant—would not rule that one out...

Its literally the cause of the invention of the Gin and Tonic. Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun...and all that rot.

They would mix the quinine with the gin and lime for a better tasting drink.

The Queen is 93 (I think.) Sitting up with her eyes open is pretty good for the old dame. The rest is a bonus.

Exactly, and I believe I've read that the vast majority of Americans are D deficient. I take D3/K2, daily, and still get quite a bit of outdoor exposure on most days.

But in the context of what causes the well know drop in the flu during warmer months, I feel confident the increase in natural vitamin D in the populace during the summer is a key factor as well.

We were setup for a giant fall here in 2020. Very unique situation. Obviously, the Oligarchy wanted Hillaey in power right now. This is the reality of the situation. Strip away the death, economic calamity and hardship. We have an executive with almost unlimited powers now. Trump can change the US into whatever he imagines. Obviously Hillary was supposed to be in his position. Perhaps that is why they risked everything to remove Trump.

True. I think there are a multitude of factors, vitamin D, greater sunlight levels, which destroys the actual virus, and a temperature increase, all contribute. I’ve read studies which back each.

"FDA made the drug stores take the chloroquine off the shelves I’ve been told."

I looked a little bit yesterday online for sources, no dice. I suspect the time to buy that ended about a week ago.

This is a world pandemic.

Seriously.

Italy could not give a flying f&^% about Hillary or any other American politician.
