There is simply no other way to state this.
Nearly everything weve been told about models, rates of infection, deaths, and recoveries was inaccurate.
Im not here to argue that it was malfeasance or ignorance both are unacceptable. But the one thing that Governor Andrew Cuomos stunning announcement made clear on Thursday is that there are some pretty shocking and what should be reassuring truths.
Cuomo announced that antibody testing in New York state, which only began four days previous, was already demonstrating that at minimum 13.9% of New Yorkers, had COVID-19 late stage antibodies.
The implication of this is a shockwave to the system.
With a population of 19,540,500 the findings point out that over 2,500,000 New Yorkers had the virus and have recovered. Keep in mind that as of this writing that only 263,000 New Yorkers have currently confirmed cases. Also as of this writing New York has reported 19,543 fatalities.
Weve been told that the true death rate is 7.4% in New York. We were told there would be hundreds of thousands dead. We were told that this was worse than the flu, which has still recorded more deaths to date in this past flu seasoneven though the CDC instructed medical personnel to start counting influenza, heart disease, pulmonary, respiratory, drug overdose, and possibly even car crash deaths as COVID-19 deaths.
We were told that we had to upend an economy, go into solitary confinement, and divorce ourselves from normal life because this would rage beyond any previous pandemic. We were told that this virus with 846,000 current confirmed cases was worse than the H1N1 that broke out on Obamas watch that infected 60,000,000 people. (We were conveniently not told that Obama had authorized $3.7 million U.S. tax dollars to be used at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to utilize corona viruses in bats in 2015 but thats yet another deception of omission.)
But none of these truths turned out to be so.
The death rate in New York State isnt 7.4%, it is actually .75%. The recently ended influenza season numbers from the CDC indicate possibly 56,000,000 cases of flu, 740,000 hospitalizations, and 62,000 deaths. Under the current count from the Johns Hopkins Dashboard in this five month stretch CoVid19 has racked up 845,959 confirmed cases, 122,000 hospitalizations and 46,972 deaths.
A couple of other observations are extremely relevant. To begin with the flu which has no vaccine but rather a randomized version of a shot designed to help develop antibodies to fight the version of the flu that smart people *think* will be the primary version that particular year has remedies that physicians prescribe in primary care on an as needed basis. So were not accustomed to thinking that the flu is this deadly killer that all of life must be shut down to prevent. CoVid19 had no known treatments at the beginning of the breakout, and for political reasonsand possibly financially incentivized ones to bootthe most effective treatment for CoVid19 became a political football. Even the supposed negative trials that were reported on this past weekend, had cherry picked subjects that were mostly late stage victims of the virus. As Dr. Vladimir Zelenko pointed out on my show this week, doing so created the negative outcomes purposefully & by design. When used under a physicians care, in the primary care basis, and early on after testing or onset of symptoms, the hydroxycholoroquine, azithromycin, & zinc cocktail reduced the rates of deaths and long term infectious stages. Zelenkos numbers to date: 1,450 patients treated, two deaths, four ventilator cases (all fully recovered,) and all others recovered. Zelenko and other physicians using the treatment are releasing the worlds largest Meta-study to date within the next few days that will examine more than 2,000 confirmed cases.
The antibody numbers from Cuomo also scream one other harsh reality. The virus was in America long before January.
No thanks to the Communist Chinese Party who bear the sole responsibility for every American who died from CoVid19 the infection made its way to American sooner than we had believed. With three flights a day from Wuhan to New Yorks John F. Kennedy airport alone the virus was being imported faster than understood.
Since going into national lockdown weve also failed one other key component of recovery from this virusherd immunity. Weve developed not nearly enough of it. For if 2.5 million New Yorkers were able to fight it off without any treatment at allunaware they even had ithow much more immunity did we miss out on creating by simply sheltering everyone in place?
We are well on our way to a vaccine. Weve also got a $12 treatment with the hydroxychloroquine cocktail that has smashed Brazils fatality rate by 95%.
Most importantly weve got millions upon millions of Americans who have been exposed to CoVid19 and who now have the late stage antibodies that demonstrate immunity.
It is time to acknowledge these facts, draw the necessary conclusions they lead us to, make changes for the benefit of the American people (for once), and end this nightmare.
Thank you Governor Cuomo for acknowledging it, now lets go!
I figured this out yesterday after CuHomo said 21% of NYC residents have the antibody! He should have at least noted me as the source:-)
We were told by The State Science Institute......
RE: I’m virtually certain I caught it the day after Thanksgiving
How do you know it wasn’t the flu? To verify, have yourself tested for Covid-19 antibodies.
Ive been saying this since the beginning, Wuhan virus here way earlier than weve been told.
I have suspicions that it tore through my family in January.
-—I’m virtually certain I caught it the day after Thanksgiving——
Were pretty sure we caught it too in early January. My neighbor who is 65 caught it last month.
“The death rate in New York State isnt 7.4%, it is actually .75%.”
That is assuming that they accurately tested and reported the deaths. I’m betting it is less than 0.37%.
RE: That is assuming that they accurately tested and reported the deaths. Im betting it is less than 0.37%.
0.75%, 0.37%, that’s still lots of times higher than the flu.
RE: Were pretty sure we caught it too in early January.
The only way to find out is to have Covid-19 antibodies tested. If you’re positive, then you had it. If not, it was just the flu.
Does anybody believe any of these tests right? Its time to stop testing.
RE: Does anybody believe any of these tests right? Its time to stop testing.
OK, stop testing you say. What’s the alternative?
Talk about an inconvenient truth... for the media.
People at my company have said the very same thing. When we saw the symptoms, particularly the unusually heavy chest congestion, lingering cough and phlegm production, a LOT of people I know said, “Hell, we already had it in December.”
The first indication was the 93-96% of people who tested positive, but the source of exposure could not be identified. Then they started to test for the COVID antibody and people who hadn’t been sick in months had it. I wanna hear Fauci explain that... Put on your taps, Fauci!
So the oppressive shut ins, locked downs, stay at homes, shelter in places, have limited the spread of the virus but at the same time it also limits the numbers who would have had the antibodies
And the virus started to take off right after the Senate cleared Trump.
How about acknowledging that it’s been here longer than we’ve been told; more people have had it than we know; more people will get it; it is highly contagious, but serious in only 3-4% of all cases of exposure, then admit that we’ve been lied to about the severity of the panicdemic and hold those responsible to account? Fair enough?
In addition to being an Orange Man Bad election year, another source of confusion around COVID-19 is that schools arent teaching basic math and science skills. So peoples heads are exploding with respect to virus spread statistics.
