A Japanese microbiologist discovered ivermectin and won a Nobel prize for it. I haven’t heard anything about ivermectin being used for COVID in Japan. Many other countries but not Japan. Think I’ll do some googling.

There are hundreds of variants now. More than half of them will be less lethal than the original. Find a variant that is 1) almost harmless, 2) spreads faster. Call it the natural needle-free vaccine. Take one sneezing person with the variant and have them to ride public transport systems and fly around the world. A few weeks later the great China death is over.

Sixteen beds in ICU are occupied, 14 are vacant due to lack of hospital staff. They are being crushed by 16 patients. Hmm...

Couldn’t find much on ivermectin for COVID in Japan. Not authorized for COVID as of February 2021. Clinical trials are ongoing. Sounds like some Japanese citizens are buying it from sources outside Japan.

try not to laugh, but I was watching an early Christopher Walken movie about aliens and em, probes. Then I recalled reading a recent article about humans being able to absorb O2 thru em, the probe location. Which made me wonder if oral intubation might not even be necessary in the future?

Back to your question, I remember it was found early on that high pressure was a no-no and was a contributor to deaths. If CCPVirus is migrating lipids to the lungs (much like the fatty lungs of alcoholics, the obese, and diabetics), wouldn’t high pressure just push the phlegm-moving tryglycerides the body produces, along with lipid-laden macrophages, deeper into the alvioli and make the problem of 02 transfer worse? It would seem so.

Wait! Wait! Japan is Maskerbation Central. They’re all hairy palmed and blind from all the maskerbating. And they’re a very conformist and obedient population that practically exists to follow rules. But the Beer Flu is breaking loose there anyhow.

Could it be that the virus doesn’t care? Maskerbation and prison-like lockdowns just delay the inevitable?

according to this article, young people in Japan are being hit harder and longer with the ‘British variant’

————-
Most other articles say it’s the Indian variant

....”what exactly happens when a hospital or medical system collapses?”..... Take a look at India of late.“

Take a look how? Go over there? No thanks it’s a dirty place. Have you actually been there recently and seen the effects of covid, the filled hospitals on the verge of collapse?

Again, it’s a lie. No one has actally seen these over run hospitals with patients in hallways and such. Where are the real reporters who have actually been inside one of hospitals on the verge of collapse?

All these stories look as if they were cut and paste from the same template.

Hospitals so full of highly contagious patients would be infecting and killing doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers yet you never here of a serious case when it comes to those working in these supposed hot zones.

This whole thing is such an obvious lie the only mystery is how and why so many people believe it.

“Just talk with people in Japan...it isn't a good situation. “

Again have YOU talked with people in Japan? Have you seen these filled up hospitals?

None of this stuff has ever been verified and the reason is it’s all been made up.

“How are those Olympic preparations coming along?“.

Probably not to well and they know the reality is the Olympics are going to be a huge loss so now they are looking for a way out. Covid is the perfect excuse.

Seems like a few ship loads of Balance of Nature should take care of the problem. According to their ads, it fixes everything.

The 'vaccines' are killing the Japanese.

Look what the 'vaccines' did to India.

Here's what the 'vaccines' did to Venezeula. 

80% of countries getting 'vaccinated' had increased deaths. The other countries knew to avoid the big reveal by reducing the number of PCR 'test' cycles, and changing reporting rules as needed.

From Fractal Trader | 05/23/2021 7:19:40 PM PDT replied

163 countries/provinces. 6 (4%) have less COVID death than expected post vaccinations. 27 (16%) have more or less expected. 131 (80%) have more than expected.

Interesting coincidence that India and Japan just happen to be on the Chinaman's sh*t list.

Is there any reason they might be upset with Venezuela?

Are they flirting with switching sides maybe?

I had heard these rumors about empty hospitals and asked somebody I trusted (who works in health care system) what they thought.

Possible explanation, not sure how many of the “empty hospital” stories this would cover ...

In preparation for COVID19 patients, some portions of hospitals have been reorganized so that perhaps three floors of a large hospital now have all their activities on two floors, with the third floor set aside for COVID overflow. If there isn’t a large surge in COVID admissions that overflow wing or floor never gets used.

A random visitor could in theory only see that empty floor and draw wrong conclusions (no COVID).

I’m not saying this refutes the argument or serves as a complete explanation but it was a factoid that I had not heard about before I asked. My contact says she thinks that COVID admissions are roughly as advertised and that the area first designated for COVID treatment is regularly near full if not more than full, with some occasional use of the overflow area described.

The shrinking down of other services is handled by the postponement of some “optional” medical procedures, shorter stays and home care options.

Good thinking.

Based on Wikipedia's information, I'd say China is tired of the 'middlemen' (the Venezuelans) and plans to take ownership of its investment.

 Wiki:
"Various bilateral deals have seen China invest billions in Venezuela, and Venezuela increase exports of oil and other resources to China. In 2016, Sino-Venezuelan trade amounted to $7.42 billion, with $4.9 billion coming from Venezuelan exports and $2.52 billion coming from Chinese exports.[3]"

I'm surprised by the ones that look so severe and obvious (Iran).

However, many countries have really bad vaccine profiles, and I think the ones are 'mostly bad', neutral or good were more sophisticated in dicing the numbers before putting them in the hopper. 

Just imagine what the United States profile would look like if Biden's administration wasn't working hard to cover statistics. There are so many ways to do it, beyond the PCR.

The Medical Oligarchs have been counting flu as Covid; now I bet we're gonna see more flu and less covid, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN AND I THINK YOU DO.

And they can start shifting more 'died from Covid' to 'died with Covid'.

Anyone that had a full blown case of this $hit would never make light of it. I had it when it first came out and nobody knew what it was. I nearly died from it.
