Interesting Tid-bits (hopefully)

Fatalities and New Cases in the United States

Fatalities fell off by 119 cases from the previous day, to come in at 784
yesterday. That was a 22.88% increase from the same day the previous week.

New Cases dropped off by 4,252 from the day before, to come in at 80,979
yesterday. That was a 48.89% increase from the same day the week before.

This was the second highest single day for New Cases, and second only to
the day before.

Fatalaties and New Cases on the Global Scene

Fatalities grew fell by 928 cases from the previous day, to come in at 6,509
yesterday. That was a 3.85% increase from the same day the previous week.

New Cases fell by 43,622 cases from the day before, to come in at 454,323
yesterday. This was an 24.60% increase from the same day the week before.

Now 24.60% is an impressive number, but it doesn't reveal there were 89,709
more New Cases yesterday, than on the same day last week. Ouch!

New Global Case Level

There have now been over 43 million Cases of COVID-19 documented.



Section: 02

The Following Addresses the Numbers Here in
the United States of America


Here we go...

New Case Declarations fell by 4,252 cases yesterday.

Please take note of the Resolved Percentage level on the right.
That category took another hit yesterday.

The number is significant enough now to take note of it daily now.


Concept of adding in Active Cases and Serious Critical here, courtesy of amorphous

Here are more of our numbers...

Active Cases rose by over 36,745 cases yesterday.

Serious/Critical cases rose by 46 cases on the day. That was a little lower
than it has been in the last few days.


Our Slice of the COVID-19 Pie

The growth of our slice of the pie has been decreasing recently.

Here are the numbers I've been tracking, Globally Declared and Active Cases.

This area has been looking a little better day by day, for around a month now.


Active Cases in the United States / Chart

Unlike some of the other charts here, we should see a good rise and
fall at some point withone.

Note that this presents the single, seven, and fourteen day averaging versions.

Remember, these are not new Declared Cases. These are remaing Active Cases.

The Active Cases are rising day by day. Using this metric we are experiencing
a new wave at this time. About all we can do is wait to see how severe it
becomes.

I reference it as the third wave, but Fauci has let it be known, he still thinks
we're on the first wave. He may be right. I'm not sure what the scientific
requirements are to declare a wave over. If it settles down, that seems like
an end to me, and the chart looks for all the world like a third is in full
swing now.


Testing and New Case Figures
Requested by stocksthatgoup

Some folks have shown an interest in seeing the COVID-19 Test figures compared
to the New Cases being declared. The following Data addresses that. The size
of it just doesn't seem reasoned to me.

Why/how could the posive portion of the popoulace vary ass much as 2.0% from day
to day? I could a lot easier see a 2.0% trend over three or four days. One day?
Nah.

Testing fell off by around 99,000 tests yesterday, to come in at
1,151,780 tests.

Postive test percentages rose above 6.00% on the 14-day chart line. The
3-day chart line fell a bit, but the single-day rose up.

As long as the 3-day and Single-day positives remain high, the 14-day will
creep up. Look how much it has crept up already.


Positve Percentages are clearly rising in the body of people being tested
in recent days. I use the 14-day figure when addressing this. The other
figures are too volitale to make reasoned long term claims about.


The U. S. Stats / w 10 Day Averaging / Fr: 03/17
Requested by: Texas Eagle

This data and chart presents things in a little different way. In the
chart it is easy to see the relationship of these numbers. I may be wrong
not to do so, but I don't plan to put much weight in those figures for a
few days until they normalize.

The Chart will use the data all the way back to 03/17, but the data displayed
here will only go back one month.

Here is the chart to watch.

 

The New Case Declarations line is moving on up.

The Active Case line is rising.

I have been saying I wasn't too happy with the Recoveries and Resolved Cases
lines there. At the present time they don't seem moving toward flattening any
longer. They may show some strengthling almost imperceptibly.

Compare to the rise of Recovered and Resolved cases on the Global Scene to see
a different more healthy trajectory. These look lethargic by comparison, but a
a little less so.

You can right click view to see the Global Chart enlarged.


United States Movers and Shakers...

I will present the U S States with the most New Cases and New
Fatilities rankings.

Here we go...

Texas and Florida took the top spots yesterday.


Section: 03

The Following Addresses the Global Numbers
without Mainland China


Here is the first set of Data for the Global Outside China
Territories

New Case Declarations rose by 454,308 yesterday.

The Resolved Percentage fell off a little again, and we are now sub 77.00%
in the Resolved percentage column. At this rate, we'll be sub 76.00%
in the next few days.

Fatalities, Recoveries, Resolved, Active Cases, and
Serious/Critical Cases - Globally, Excluding M/L China

Concept of adding in Active Cases and
Serious/Critical here, courtesy of amorphous

Here we go...

Active Cases rose by 204,266 cases, in accordance with the large number
of New Cases declared yesterday. Serious/Critical cases rose up on the
right. Look up the column to see how it has changed over the last month.

This is a very big number for this metric. Not good. What it means is
that we have a larger body of people who are struggling to remain alive.
I want that number to be as small as possible.


How is the Global Community Outside China Doing,
Without U. S. numbers?

Let's see...

The middle/important number fell off yesterday, yet look how big it remains.
Ouch! It's hard to believe it is now that size of a daily number.


Global numbers fell off yesterday, but remained very high. It remained
at 454,323. This was still the third highest day here.


The blue line depicting New Cases, is still trending up steadily.
Dang it. How far will it continue up this time? Stay tuned...

Dag nabbit!


The Active Cases outside China Globally / Chart

As in the United States' version of this, we should see a good rise and fall at
some point these two.

Note that these present the one day and then 7 and 14 day averaging versions.

Global Active Cases are growing considerably, and both the above charts are
showing an uptick more clearly each day now. The format of the graph is
looking considerably modified in recent days over the past.


Special Section on France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U. K.
Case growth.

Jim Noble mentioned he'd like to see the US numbers added here. I added them
in on 06/21/2020. I did not add them to the chart because it would have
dwarfed the European nations chart lines. (they would have been reduced to
about 15% of their normal size)

Let's Look at Some Numbers in Five Day Increments:

Spain has looked a bit better over the last few days, but it is still
going up considerably. France looks to overtake it if this trend
continues.

All these nations have taken a turn for the worse here. Sorry to see
that.


Sweden and It's Neighbors, Who Has the Best Tactic Against COVID-19?

Sweden is doing its own thing with regard to isolating. I think most people
are aware of it by now.

Here are some numbers to help us look at this issue.

Sweden has flattened out a bit after that correction a while back.

The Netherlands is still going up about as strong as it can go.

The other nations are being dwarfed by it's continue growth.


Global Movers and Shakers...

I will present the top fifty nations with the most New Cases and New
Fatilities.

Here we go...

The United States has taken the top spots a few times over the last
week and did so again yesterday.


Global osChina Stats / w 10 Day Agveraging / Fr: 03/05
Requested by: Texas Eagle

This data and chart presents things in a little different way. In the
chart it is easy to see the relationship of these numbers.

The Chart will use the data all the way back to 03/05, but the data
displayed here will only go back one month.

Here is the chart to match.

 

The Active Case chart line is turning up. Sorry to see it.

In the United States chart like this one, the Recoveries, and Resolved
Case lines have not shown near the strength as is revealed here with these
upward bound lines.

That chart is provided here, in a small version, but you can see it full size
if you right click view.


Section: 04

The Following Addresses the Global Numbers
including Mainland China*

Mainland China's numbers are 0.003% of today's total global numbers.


A Look at Declared, Resolved, and Active Cases, Includes M/L China

End of day figures follow:

We wound up at 76.268% for Resolved Cases yesterday Globally. We slipped
down a bit. As the new wave of cases grow, this percentage won't fare well.

Folks should view up the column to see what the trend here has been
recently.


Fatalities, Recoveries, Resolved, Active, and Serious/Critical
Cases Globally, Including M/L China

Concept of adding in Active Cases and
Serious/Critical here, courtesy of amorphous

Active Cases rose up normally for the number of New Cases declared
yesterday.

Serious/Critical cases rose. The total there is a large number.


Section: 05

the Mortality Report


Here is the data for four entities...

Here are the figures for the growing case totals for four entities.

We hear all sorts of stories about how these figures are wildly off. The CDC
has studied them and seems to think they may actually be on the low side of
things. I am providing the CDC Provential Numbers down below. Not sure if
anyone has a rock solid number. I doubt it is possible. This is what is
reported out by WoM and JHU. Check out the CDC numbers too.

Charts like this one only show growth. That's why I recently took the advice
of a FReeper and added in a new chart for the U. S. and Global outside China
regions.

Here are figures revealing the daily growth for those four entities.

Fatalities in the United States dropped off to 784 yesterday. Sounds pretty
good, but it doesn't reflect that number is 22.88% higher than the same
day last week.

The other areas rose by small margines.


Since the beginning of COVID-19's activity in the U. S., higher New Cases were
soon followed by elevated Fatalities. If we have gone to school on the data
of this disease, we know who should avoid exposure the most. So if the
demographic that has little to fear from the disease is out there getting
infected, it may not be a bad thing at all. If the Fatalities remain low,
vastly higher cases may simply increase the rapidity of the saturation of the
people in public who have already fought it off. And that may facilitate the
end of the disease. I'm sure others know this, but I did want to explain why
my thinking has fluctuated over time regarding these dynamics.

Here, let's look at data for the United States broken out by itself.

That 784 Fatalities yesterday was a 22.88% increse over the same day last week.


We can see the abnormality of the last couple of day's counts here.


Section: 06

Population Saturation

Here are figures revealing how many people in each population base represent one
case. I'm also showing what percent of each population base is infected at this
time.

This area hasn't looked too good lately. Not good...


Nations With Lots of Cases

At the end of the day yesterday, there were:

I expanded the levels here yesterday. We had nations who were seeing serious
growth, and their levels weren't showing up very well at the top.

Over 50% of the 215 nations we're tracking now, have declared over 5,000 cases,
but they have far lees of them still Active. Over 25% of the nations we're
tracking have delared over 50,000 cases along the way. None of them have
anything near their declared amount remaining active. Keep that in mind.


Daily Case Report Evaluation

I'll be keeping tabs on the daily tallies for days of the week for a while. Folks have
noticed some patterns of larger and smaller data entry on certain days, and on Fridays
sometimes the numbers get noticeably larger because of it.

And we now know Thursdays have potential to break out also. Yikes!

IMO Let's check out the numbers and a chart.


In grouping five there, look at that massive increase over the same day
last week. It was 24.60% more than last week, and that was by 89,709
cases.


Section: 07

The Top 200 Counties in the U. S., by Number of Cases

This little report lists 200 Counties in the United States in declining Case numbers.
There is also a listing that is alphabetical. This report list only the entities
and the number of Cases in the two different sorts.

It will also be available as a downloadable Excel file in Section 12.


For months Puerto Rico was showing up with the Counties. That stopped in early July
if memory serves me well.

There are two reports. The presentation above comes from the second one,
and the detailed segmented information below it, may interest you.


These can now also be found under the states on the Alphabetical list. The
states and these entity's numbers should be combined to match that of the
U. S. figures each day.


Section: 09

The United States, Where it Ranks With Other Nations?

Each of these pages is sorted differently. Look at the red header above
the columns to see which column was used for the sort on any given page.

The U. S. will be highlighted red here so we can find it easily in the list.
There was 215 nations on this list last night now. I didn't want to post
seven lists with 215 nations on it, so I picked the top 50. Coincidentally,
one report category had the U. S. at 41st, so it wasn't showing up on the
list with the 31 top nations on it. That wasn't the reason why I extended the
list length, but it did work out well.

I work on the nations right next to the states on my spreadsheet. The
states with the District of Columbia come in at a total of 51 lines.
I decided to keep the international reports near that length, and 50
was good enough.

Here we go... for your review.

Around 06/23, China started putting out it's testing numbers. I thought
they were suspect. The number they put out was 90,410,000. Ours and most
everyone else's numbers are specific. For instance on 06/28, our number of
of tests at the ned of the day was 32,592,368. That specificity separates it
from the number China put out. It was rounded to the 10 thousandth place. In
addition, China did not update that number until 09/02/20. On that date they
raised the number to 160,000,000. As of October 3rd, 2020, they haven't updeded
it again. So I do not inlude China in the Nation's Comparison Sort regarding
Testing, and any place that reports out global testing numbers for a top level
comparison.

Please note that global testing on the Dashboard was only deducting China's
90,410,000 figure from 09/02 through 10/02/2020. I should have been
deducting the 160,000,000 figure, and all global figures during that period
were 69,590,000 tests too high.


We remained in 19th place yesterday.

Here is what it is all about. From January 20th to the present.

Go to minute 48 for MATH+ therapy:

https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/covid-19-how-new-information-should-drive-policy

Used in a Houston hospital:

https://www.click2houston.com/health/2020/04/17/local-hospital-using-experimental-drug-treatment-in-hopes-of-saving-lives-of-covid-19-patients/

This illness is completely treatable. The above is late stage treatment with 98 to 100% efficacy.

Zinc + ionophore (HCQ, quercetin, red onion, red apple and a few other things; see Mercola.com) is the early stage treatment.

Taking vitamins A, Bcomplex, C and D3 daily will keep most people out of the MD’s office. D3 blood levels above about 35 ng/mL means about zero cv19 mortality.

This is NOT a pandemic.

It’s a pandemic. Get over it. With 43 million plus people
who have been discovered to have/or have had it, it’s not
a simply community infection.

Does that mean it’s a global killer of unmatched rival? No.
We weren’t sure of that at the beginning, but months ago
we were.

Yes it is treatable and with some pretty decent therapies,
seems like there are several that are effective.

Is it something to be worried over. Only in certain groups
with other problems.

Should we be opening back up? Yes.

“It’s a pandemic. Get over it. With 43 million plus people
who have been discovered to have/or have had it, it’s not
a simply community infection.”

Your numbers are not defensible. The PCR test is not accurate, and the money given to hospitals for a positive cv19 DX has been an incentive to code just about every dead body as a cv19 death (or in NYS case, and some others, to intentionally spread the virus to folks with co-morbidities). This scamdemic has been pumped up by the Gates-funded WHO in order to push a mandatory garbage vaccine.

If you’re scared of viruses, stay home. Stop fear mongering. It plays into the BS narrative which will end up destroying the Republic as we know it. The only people I know pumping that narrative are leftists and the medical establishment who would love to morph a free republic into a technocracy.

“Appeal to authority” aka a failing debate tactic.

You do realize that there is political calculus in what Trump has to do? Don’t you? That if he did any less than what he had done, that the nervous nellies, Karens, big Pharma...and apparently you, would put him out of office?

And Trump himself said we should not fear this, while here you are saying we should “worry”.

It is no different of a political calculus than “pro-vaccine Trump” which is another mandatory posture which must be done to avoid the wrath of Pharma, the Karens and maybe you. Trump’s instincts on vaccines were clear in the past. And right of parental consent on vaccines is a Republican position at the state level. It is the Democrats who want mandatory masks, shutdowns, and vaccines.

Got it? Thanks for playing.

You folks sure have it all figured out .

Everything you accused me of, Trump would have to be guilty of also.

You can’t accept that realty so you pass it if as merely a discussion ploy.

Never mind that Trump would have to look much worse according to your theory, than he would have to right now going into the election.

Yes he’s fearmongering. Helping the Left and Bill Gates and the WHO
take over the world. He and I are working together behind the scenes.

Don’t tell.

“...it’s not a simply community infection.”

“Is it something to be worried over. Only in certain groups
with other problems.”

Compare with what Dr Steven Hotze, MD has written about Cv19:


The Coronavirus Scam
Steven Hotze, MD

The coronavirus Covid-19 “plandemic” is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the American public. It is a political “plandemic,” not a medical one. Sadly, most Americans have swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker. We have never responded to a virus like this before. Why are we doing this now?

Government health bureaucrats, using faulty data and disease projection models, have intentionally created irrational fear and mass hysteria. This fear was fed by the fake news media and by politicians who have acted like tin- pot dictators. This manufactured crisis is all about power, control and money.

Once you get the majority of people to operate on the basis of fear, they will gladly exchange their constitutional liberties for the delusion of safety offered to them by the politicians and civil government officials. They end up with neither. The politicians and civil government become all powerful, take control and dictate the actions of the masses.

The purpose of civil government is not to protect your health. The purpose of civil government is to protect your rights. You are in charge of protecting your own health.

Fear Is Unwarranted

Since the beginning of the coronavirus scare, I have been pointing out that the fear that has gripped our society is completely unwarranted. As of May 19, 2020, according to data reported by the Texas Department of State Health Services the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1,369 Texans have died with a confirmed or presumptive diagnosis of COVID-19. The odds of any Texan dying of COVID-19 is 1 in 28,000. According to National Geographic, your lifetime chance of being struck and killed by lightning is 1 in 3,000.1 This means that you are nine times more likely to die from a lightning strike than from this coronavirus.

COVID-19 is a de minimis cause of illness and death. Contrary to reports by government health bureaucrats, COVID-19 is not highly contagious. There have only been 5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide. The annual flu infects nearly 1 billion individuals worldwide.

If you are worried about a virus that is trivial when compared to other diseases and causes of death, then you are allowing mass hysteria and delusion to rule your life.

United States Deaths Attributable (Not Confirmed) to COVID-19 Reported to the CDC as of May 19, 20202
DEATHS
United States 90,340
Texas 1,369

Just look at this list of annual and average daily deaths to get a perspective on this “plandemic.”
Total number of deaths of all causes in the United States in 2019: 2,813,503 deaths, 7,708/day, as reported by the CDC

Iatrogenic (caused by medical treatment): 780,000 deaths/year, 2,136/day (reported in Death by Medicine by Gary Null, M.D.)
Heart Disease: 650,000 deaths/year, 1,772/day
Cancer: 600,000 deaths/year, 1,650/day
Traffic Deaths: 37,000 deaths/year, 100/day
Traffic Injuries: 2.35 million/year, 6,438/day
Lung Infections: 160,000 deaths/year, 438/day
Stroke: 146,000 deaths/year, 400/day
Alzheimer’s: 121,000 deaths/year, 332/day
Alcohol Related: 88,000 deaths/year, 241/day
Diabetes: 84,000 deaths/year, 230/day
Flu: An average of 50,000 deaths/year, 278/day (During flu season, Oct. 1-Mar. 31)
Kidney Disease: 51,000 deaths/year, 140/day
Suicides: 47,000 deaths/year, 129/day
Abortions: 800,000 deaths/year, 2,192/day
Opioid/Narcotic Overdoses: 47,000 deaths/year, 129/day
HIV/AIDS: 56,500 new cases/year, 155/day
Venereal Disease (VD) Infections (gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia):
2.4 million cases/year, 6,575/day

Look at the number of new venereal disease infections on the chart, 2.4 million per year or 6,575 a day. So, why hasn’t the CDC recommended that everyone be tested for VD and AIDS, and quarantine those who test positive? Following the distorted thinking of the half-witted government health bureaucrats, I am amazed that they have not banned sexual relations and fine anyone who violates the ban $1,000 and six months in jail.

Alcohol-related problems led to 88,000 deaths in 2019, 241 a day. Think of the enormous health and psychological damage that alcohol causes. Why haven’t these government health bureaucrats called for a new prohibition on alcohol?

Why haven’t they banned cigarette smoking? They are not going to do that, because they want to give everybody the opportunity to smoke wacky tobacky. The sin taxes provide a lot of revenue for the politicians and bureaucrats.

Think of the 37,000 traffic deaths and 2.3 million traffic injuries. This is a huge public health problem which could be solved by dropping the speed limit to 5 mph or just by reverting to horses and carriages, bicycles and walking.

So, you see this “plandemic” is not about public health at all. It’s all about gaining power and control over your lives. This is right out of the communist playbook. Read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, in which he extols Lucifer as the first great rebel.

This coronavirus is just another run-of-the mill respiratory virus. Eighty percent of people who get COVID-19 have only mild flu-like symptoms, at worst, and 25% of them are completely asymptomatic.

Serious, life-threatening respiratory infections almost exclusively affect the infirm and debilitated elderly, who have serious preexisting
medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, diabetes, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.

The average age of death from COVID-19 is approximately 80 years, and a large proportion of deaths due to COVID-19 have occurred in nursing homes—72% of all COVID-19 deaths in New Hampshire and 67% in Pennsylvania.

The primary reason individuals are placed in nursing homes by their families is because they have had a significant decline in their health and were unable to be properly cared for at home. The average nursing home patient lives less than two and a half years after they are admitted. Twenty-two percent of all deaths of Americans occur in nursing homes. Nursing homes effectively function as “hospice-lite.”

More Harm Than Good

The lockdown, which includes social distancing, quarantining and shutting down businesses, schools, churches and public gatherings, only delays and extends the spread of coronavirus infection, because it prevents the development of natural herd immunity among the population.

The lockdown is being promoted by government health bureaucrats who are trying to condition individuals to accept mandatory vaccinations with nanochips and immunity-tracking cards. People have shown that they will readily accept the loss of their constitutional rights and liberties in the vain hope that the government will make them safe and secure from disease and death. How foolish!

How pitiful it is to operate one’s life based on fear of man or of germs! We should operate our lives in the fear of the Lord. Confidence about the future is found in the fear of God.

“In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence.” (Proverbs 14:26) We should live our lives by faith and not by fear. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Having a sound mind means using common sense.

“Everything you accused me of, Trump would have to be guilty of also.”

Nope, you’re not under any political pressure to go along with a narrative.

“You can’t accept that realty so you pass it if as merely a discussion ploy.”

The reality is that this “pandemic” is actually a “casedemic” and a “scamdemic”.

“Yes he’s fearmongering. Helping the Left and Bill Gates and the WHO
take over the world. He and I are working together behind the scenes.”

Says you.

Trump has played this perfectly, bringing in Scott Atlas, sidelining Fauxci, telling us not to fear the virus, not wearing a mask, using alternative treatment for his own infections. Melania used...supplements and diet, according to her. If he promoted MATH+ therapy, his re-election would be sunk.

It seems we can’t go more than a few days before “another” complainer shows up. Ty for your time and effort.

“It seems we can’t go more than a few days before “another” complainer shows up. Ty for your time and effort.”

There is no complaint. Having read other threads on FR, there is quite a large constituency of people who think Covid-19 is a scamdemic, that promoting it as a serious disease for all but the most frail in the population (ie. like the seasonal flu) is fearmongering. I challenge anyone who disagrees to do a poll of FR members on the subject of Covid-19.

Imagine if a FR member daily, routinely talked about the danger of school shootings, and then said nothing (or very little) about the root causes of the problem, and how it could be quickly (and Constitutionally) solved.

The message of Covid-19 as a killer is a message of fear which is harmful to the Republic.

“...it’s not a simply community infection.” “Is it something to be worried over? Only in certain groups with other problems.” Compare with what Dr Steven Hotze, MD has written about Cv19:

I'd appreciate you letting Rush Limbaugh know he shouldn't worry about coming down with COVID-19.

While you're in the mood to enlighten the rest of us, please let everyone know who has COPD, Diabetes, and other known co-morbidities, Let them know they shouldn't worry any longer. I know they'll really appreciate it.

Lets see...

We have one MD out there who has an opinion, and has provided
things to bolster that opinion.

Then we have the rest of the nation doing everything it can
to control the spread of the disease and find a cure.

Hmmm, millions in the health care industry, or one M.D.?

Testing goes on around the nation, people having to have
negative testing before going back to work, but gosh it’s
all a hoax.

I guess you folks think Trump was gamed too, because the
test given him wasn’t real.

Yes the fatality rates for other things was interesting.
Informative for this topic. LMAO

Did I say everyone needed to be locked down?

In fact I said open up. You do know what that means right?

Oh, I’m sure you have a way to make that comment look bad
too.

As I said, you guys are a real hoot.

I wonder if we can find an MD that swears he was abducted
by aliens too. Hey, if one MD says something, it has to
be true.

You tell me I’m certain things because I provide these
numbers. When the president does it, you give him full
immunity to your hurled insults.

My providing numbers on a bulletin board accessed by tens of
thousands, is more harmful than the president providing
that same information to over 330 million people.

If these numbers are harmful to your mental faculties
please stay off the thread.

I’d imagine the folks who come here are interested. You
aren’t. That’s fine.

Hope you feel better soon.

Changing the subject to support the narrative, I see.

People with co-morbidities need to be careful about any infection. One might think a good plan would be to reduce or eliminate the co-morbidities. Let’s start with all the obese people whose health issues double the average health insurance premiums for everyone. Lose some weight. In the meantime, take chelated zinc with an ionophore and get vitamin D levels up?

You really do want the country to be trapped in fear over an illness that is entirely preventable and treatable, don’t you? Since you’re the “covid-19 guy” on FR, it might, just might, be useful of you to post prevention and treatment protocols in your daily update. Encourage great outcomes. That would be the approach of someone who actually wants this miserable scamdemic to end. But you? You’d lose your daily “update”.

Your “appeal to authority” arguments and bringing up Rush only make the whole thread series even more pathetic.

Looking back on previous updates, it appears I am not the only one who has drawn the same conclusion.
