Biden Coronavirus Task Force’s Osterholm: ‘We’re Going to See Hospitals Collapsing in the Next Two to Three Weeks’
Breitbart ^ | November 19 2020 | TRENT BAKER

Posted on 11/19/2020 11:43:33 PM PST by knighthawk

Dr. Michael Osterholm, a member of former Vice President Joe Biden’s coronavirus task force, predicted on Thursday that hospitals will be “collapsing in the next two to three weeks” due to spikes in coronavirus cases across the country.

As many push the President Donald Trump administration to provide information regarding coronavirus cases to the Biden transition team, Osterholm emphasized the importance of someone in his position knowing “current information on the number of cases.”

17 Nov: Utica Phoenix: Portuguese Appeals Court Deems PCR Tests Unreliable
By Pete Bianco
On November 11, 2020, a Portuguese appeal court ruled it was unlawful to quarantine people based solely on a PCR test.
The court stated, the test’s reliability depends on the number of cycles used and the viral load present. Citing Jaafar et al. 2020, the court concludes that “if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the rule in most laboratories in Europe and the US), the probability that said person is infected is less than 3%, and the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%.” The court further notes that the cycle threshold used for the PCR tests currently being made in Portugal is unknown...

The court’s summary of the case to rule against the Regional Health Authority’s appeal reads as follows: “Given how much scientific doubt exists — as voiced by experts, i.e., those who matter — about the reliability of the PCR tests, given the lack of information concerning the tests’ analytical parameters, and in the absence of a physician’s diagnosis supporting the existence of infection or risk, there is no way this court would ever be able to determine whether C was indeed a carrier of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, or whether A, B and D had been at a high risk of exposure to it.”

In the US, the FDA’s instructions for PCR testing recommends a threshold of 40 cycles for a specimen to be considered positive. See page 35 of the instructions...
At 25 cycles the original material has been multiplied 33,554,432 times.
At 30 cycles the original material has been multiplied 1,073,741,824 times.
At 40 cycles the original material has been multiplied 1,099,511,627,776 times.
As you can see there is quite a difference in magnification at various cycle thresholds.
It is also important to remember PCR was invented as a way to create copies of genetic material. Its was never intended to be a diagnostic tool.

This is what they did in NYC t the very beginning of this and it was a total hoax-—the MSM left it alone and never followed up on it—also conjured images of so many deaths refrigerated trucks appeared “ready” to store the bodies shoen in hospitakl hAny bodies ever actually went into those trucks?No end of theatrics, no end of anecdotal “evidence”,and direct-t0-video theatrics just pure demagoguery and propaganda. It’s starting all over again as a last ditch effort before the lockdowns and the coronation of Joe Biden. And this Osterholm guy is straight out of the WEF Central casting-—the most dangerous of them all-—He will play Goof Cop to Fauci’sGood Cop in a criminal charade that will be exposed if we have the nerve-—and we’d better.

It is probably a coincidence, but the current Covid spike is well-timed as cover for the Election theft & coverup

demographics have made the masses more susceptible to being serfs. destroying the ideals of our country helped bring along the rest. It’s easy to fool people into giving away freedom when most were raised in places where freedom isn’t even practices, or indoctrinated here to believe this country and it’s foundation is horrible.
The only freedom the loons on the left love drugs, and sexual freedom/trans gay stuff because that helps destroy our culture as well...which is what they love.

Let’s at least hope he doesn’t know a more virulent strain isn’t being released on us—and is merely fear mongering. This guy is as Deep Big Pharma as they come.

It certainly isn’t in my neck of the woods, NE Ohio. The Cleveland clinic postponed elective surgery’s for two days, voluntarily. People on here saying this is a hoax are delusional

Here in Reno the biggest hospital reopened the overflow area in a converted parking garage.

A step that was not taken lightly or for “fake” purposes.
