On Friday, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, Professor Johan Giesecke, sat down with UnHeard and discussed lockdown policies across the globe, and what he perceives as the policies’ weaknesses in tackling the China-originated novel coronavirus, COVID-19.
Professor Giesecke currently serves as an advisor to the Swedish Government, was the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), and a former advisor to the director general of the WHO (he’s now retired and serves as an advisor to the WHO only in an honorary capacity).
“The measures we should take against the pandemic should be evidence-based,” he told UnHeard, “and when you start looking around for the measures are being taken now by different countries, you find that very few of them have the shred of evidence base.”

Thank-you for telling the truth!
Least of all democrat governors.
Effectiveness of lockdowns is 100% anecdotal or worse, based on the self appointed genius of tyrants
yet, if you got your news from FakeNewsMSM, you would not even know the so-called evidence on which the lockdowns were based was FAKE.
no mention of the WILDLY EXAGGERATED, FAKE IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON “predictions”, which caused the LOCKDOWNS.
no questions about Wuhan labs. Trump bad.
no hard questions. no honest answers.
Youtube: 24:27 - 20 Apr: BBC Hardtalk: Dr David Nabarro: Society must “learn to live” with coronavirus
With nation states across the world struggling to contain the coronavirus pandemic, there is an urgent need for an internationally coordinated response. That is where the UN agency the World Health Organisation should have a vital role to play, but right now the WHO is at the centre of a political storm. Donald Trump has withdrawn US funding, accusing the agency of being China-centric. Stephen Sackur speaks to WHO special envoy for Covid-19 David Nabarro. Is his organisation failing its greatest test?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaXQlL-HeOE
just one of the pertinent detaisl not mentioned by BBC/Sackur:

20 Apr: Sky News Australia: UN climate change fund calls coronavirus an ‘opportunity’ to re-shape the world
Digital Editor Jack Houghton
The UN-funded financial arm of the Paris Agreement has labelled the killer coronavirus an “opportunity” to raise funds for climate change action and “relaunch economies on low-emission, climate-resilient trajectories”.
The extraordinary statements have been published in a document by the Green Climate Fund – an international organisation with a $10.3 billion budget (US)...
“While COVID-19 is causing untold suffering, the international response to this unprecedented health crisis in modern times offers an opportunity to direct finances towards bolstering climate action. GCF will continue to make critical investments in climate-resilient water resource management, health care facilities, agriculture and livelihoods – all of which are essential to subduing and overcoming the pandemic,” the organisation wrote in an official public update.
“Similarly, we will step up our efforts to catalyse green investment to relaunch economies on low-emission, climate-resilient trajectories.
“The Green Climate Fund is confident that only a united approach – bringing together determined efforts and innovation – will provide lasting solutions to both the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.”
The Green Climate Fund went on to suggest that climate change was a threat comparable to COVID-19 which has killed 165,000 people, infected millions more and ravaged global economies.
“The COVID-19 pandemic and the global response required to stem it shows the importance of acting together to solve unparalleled threats to people and our planet,” the GCF said.
“The far-reaching impacts of COVID-19 are a stark reminder of the catastrophic implications the world faces if we don’t.”...
It can also now be revealed that the fund sent $157.5 million (AUD) to China in December despite the country planning on increasing emissions by several thousand mega tonnes of CO2 by 2030.
China escaped having to pay a cent towards the climate change fund by hanging on to its “developing nation” status even though it is a global superpower with the world’s second largest economy.
China’s failure to contribute to the fund led to US President Donald Trump withdrawing from the deal, clawing back billions...

Don’t forget the RINO Republican Governors.
There is no scientific data to support:
• Lockdown policies
• Six feet for “social distancing” (EU says 1 meter)

19 Apr: Boston Globe: This crisis provides a very green opportunity
We can accelerate climate progress as we rebuild society and the economy.
By Peter Fox-Penner
(Peter Fox-Penner is a professor in Boston University’s Questrom School of Business and director of BU’s Institute for Sustainable Energy. He is also chief strategy officer at Energy Impact Partners, an investment firm)
The pandemic and accompanying sharp economic downturn are forcing much reflection on how we’ve built our society, and how we will manage and rebuild it after COVID-19 is gone. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the need to protect ourselves from an even stronger latent threat: global climate change. Although the current crisis is creating setbacks in the long effort to counter this threat, it also heralds a giant opportunity to put our country on a path to substantially reduced greenhouse emissions...

I won’t but it seems the most egregious are rats. None can match Gretchen.
Pretty interesting. Wash your hands, go to work, protect the old and vulnerable. This takes a society that can come together as one and not fight among itself. Unfortunately, we don’t have that.
Sweden is going to end up being the silver lining in all of this.
What face mask? I only wear one at work
AMEN
Worth reading..Im going to send it to my Gov..it will not do any good... maybe I should send it to Trump he likes second options
Sweden is the control group in this experiment. It will be interesting to compare their final outcomes, with those of Norway and Denmark in particular (they’re neighbours, and culturally and ethnically similar — aside from the recent Muslim immigrants).
good video to watch watched 10 minutes back to the rest of it now.
This virus is a political situation, never was it a medical one.
