COVID research updates: How 90% of French COVID cases evaded detection [stay-at-home orders brought only marginal benefit... Extensive study findings-must read for the student...]

In the weeks after France ended its first lockdown, nine residents with COVID-19 symptoms went undetected for every person confirmed to have the disease...They found that the national testing campaign missed some 90,000 people with COVID-19 who showed symptoms at a time when infections in the country were declining...

The results also suggest that many people with symptoms of COVID-19 did not seek medical advice or testing...

21 December — How 90% of French COVID cases evaded detection...18 December — Stay-at-home orders have limited value for curbing COVID

An analysis of COVID-19 data from 41 countries has identified 3 measures that each substantially cut viral transmission...adding stay-at-home orders to those actions brought only marginal benefit..

the most seriously ill had high levels of autoantibody activity..A combination of the drugs baricitinib and remdesivir...for people who were on the edge of requiring invasive ventilation, median recovery time fell from 18 days on remdesivir alone to 10 days on both drugs...

Biotech firm Moderna in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has reported that its vaccine is more than 94% effective at preventing COVID-19. Four months after the first jab, their blood still contained ‘neutralizing’ antibodies that disable the virus...

Low levels of antibodies to the new coronavirus might be sufficient to protect against COVID-19..The study also found that immune cells called T cells contribute to immunity to the virus, particularly when antibody levels are low...

Scientists have identified a SARS-CoV-2 mutation that allows the virus to escape recognition by several antibodies manufactured as COVID-19 treatments...

Immune responses to coronavirus persist beyond 6 months..Among the persistent immune defenders were memory B cells, which jump-start antibody production when a pathogen is re-encountered,

19 November — The coronavirus mutates rapidly as it races through mink farms...coronavirus can mutate swiftly

Colds caused by coronaviruses might not ward off COVID...

This is a 297 word (300 word FR limit on this source) excerpt of a very extensive report that those who want to be informed should be interested in.

Other findings (paraphrased) include that there are some fast COVID tests which can catch the people who are most infectious;

The mystery of Kenya's low COVID death toll (look at their weight for one thing);

Coronavirus mutations may weaken the power of antibodies;

Some children who have never caught the virus have antibodies that recognize SARS-CoV-2 (cold?). 60% of uninfected participants aged 6 to 16 had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 which blocked COVID-19 from infecting cells in petri dishes;

A vaccine that contains nanoparticles that mimics the coronavirus prompted potent antibodies;

8% of samples from frequently touched surfaces in a US city tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 genetic material yet in small amounts;

Recent research indicates that coronavirus is spread more efficiently in US homes than previously thought;

In one study, moderate or high levels of Coronavirus-fighting antibodies were found in 90% of infected people, and with only a modest decline after 5 months after symptoms began;

Some fur animals can spread the coronavirus in a farm setting;

A study of professional basketball players in the United States showed that about 3 days after they tested positive infected participants viral levels peaked;

A disorganized immune response was found in infected people aged 65 and older;

Nearly 50% of coronavirus transmission is from people who are asymptomatic;

82% those over the age of 80 mounted an antibody response to the virus;

Genetic evidence pf reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 has been confirmed;

Asimple saliva test called called SalivaDirect that detects SARS-CoV-2 RNA in spit holds potential for mass testing;

Some common colds might provide aSARS-CoV-2 immune reaction;

Half done!

“The results also suggest that many people with symptoms of COVID-19 did not seek medical advice or testing... “

Not only that but people keeping locked up at home together helps spread the virus when anyone in the home happens to get infected - viral load + close contact in enclosed spaces + over a period of time; compared to the random encounters when out in the public.

More than one study has found that the public meeting, gathering, encountering places are far less places that spread INFECTIONS than (a) homes and (b) health care institutions including nursing/assisted-living-retirement places.

Recent studies have shown there is no Covid spread from asymptomatic people. We also know by now that many “studies” are direct results of the study format and desired outcome.

Twitter is now going on a rampage against anyone posting or re-tweeting anything that contradicts the WHO Covid narrative. I was blocked for posting a tweet that showed a self-care Covid pack for over-the-counter sale in India—Revlimid, Doxycycline and zinc. Blocked again for questioning graphs in England. They will push this narrative as long as we are buying it, and they have something nasty planned for us.

1930'S...antiseptic masks in the thick of the winter new virus flu season.

In the 1918 flu epidemic

Workers at army camps were particularly susceptible to the virus during the 1918 flu epidemic. The workers here are captured using a home remedy, swigging tonics of salt and water

So we do probably remain immune to Covid after contracting it. It’s like that we nearly every other disease on the planet.

They keep doubling down even as there are a number of reliable studies that say asymptomatic spread is not a real deal.
So, now they add by saying a lot more people have it than they have been able to prove even though that would mean a lot less actual sickness and death, percentage wise, if the numbers were actually inflated to account for all them uncounted ghost cases..

Here is another excerpt:

“An analysis of COVID-19 data from 41 countries has identified 3 measures that each substantially cut viral transmission: school and university closures, restricting gatherings to no more than 10 people and shutting businesses. But adding stay-at-home orders to those actions brought only marginal benefit.”

It looks like they are gargling the salt and water. I do that anytime I get a sore throat and it seems to work very well for me.

Fair to say some of the old remedies appear to do a good job.......
