"Growth in Moscow’s Covid-19 cases due to increased testing, not spread"

It's bewildering how this fact escapes the media - worldwide
Increasing testing is hardly "controlled" statistical analysis ...
but such numbers can help certain political agendas.

However, less testing is usually the favored norm
when the numbers might represent something undesirable.

"Napolitano blasts judge who jailed Texas salon owner: She is a hero for refusing to 'bend the knee' "

This salon owner is perceived as a hero for resisting, but the situation is akin to popular support
for removing signs "Beach Closed - Sharks!" because people have a right to use a public beach ...
and will be intimidated by such signs.

Of course, arrest was not good counterpoint to this resistance.

"As the yellow school buses pulled in front of the school at Willow Creek on Thursday, staff members wore masks and carried pool noodles to measure distance, so that the mandated six feet of separation was kept."

Somehow the 6 feet of separation rule seems more symbolic than effective science. After all, how would we disprove method of contraction if Jessica later complains to the School Board "I caught the Covid from John's infected noodle." These noodles have long been popular for playground jousting as well as in the pool ... by the old and young alike.

Re: https://news.yahoo.com/another-study-sh ... 00395.html

"A new study has found that hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug ... does not help patients hospitalized with COVID-19"

"The research, which followed 1,376 patients suffering from symptoms of the coronavirus at New York-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center in Manhattan ... was not a randomized clinical trial, and its authors noted that while the drug did not appear to help coronavirus patients, it was not observed to harm them either."

"Not observed to harm them either" may be the explanation for why other studies "prove" that this is effective treatment - something other than (or in addition to) this therapy is the real cure, such as a patient's immune system. Perhaps some immune systems benefit from the therapy while others do not.

"Dr. Imran Sharief, a pulmonologist from California, gave tocilizumab, a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, to severely ill COVID-19 patients ... one patient's condition improved within 72 hours and they came off a ventilator after five days ... after a French study found patients given tocilizumab were less likely to be put on life support and less likely to die than those given a placebo"

"Researchers believe it mitigates cytokine storms, which occur when the body doesn't just fight off the virus
but also attacks its own cells and tissues"

Another drug treatment for this coronavirus with focus on how a patient's immune system responds
(and what controls the response from that patient). More evidence that the immune response is often
the real problem of serious complications.

"The flu is a fast-moving disease. Its typical incubation time is 48 hours or less
and infection usually resolves in three to five days."

"The new coronavirus acts more slowly. Its average incubation period is six days"

Interesting explanation of immune response to the coronavirus, suggesting that recently infected people may be asymptomatic AND infectious for a longer period ... which hints that impatience with quarantine will permit this virus to keep spreading. However, suppressing the body's initial immune response is not yet recommended treatment, according to the immunologist.

Re: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society ... ial-immune

The new coronavirus acts more slowly. Its average incubation period is six days

Suggests a person may keep contracting more of the virus from their environment
since they're not aware of their initial exposure. And this may relate to conjecture that
quantity of virus particles contracted before one's immune system is fully activated
determines eventual severity of the disease.

Reports that race is a significant indicator of vulnerability might ignore the
fact that excess weight is another determinant (since more ACE2 receptors
are present and these are the cell's entry point for the coronavirus).

"Belgians have been told to pick four relatives or friends who will be allowed to visit them at home"

You might need an AI app for this since those four might not pick you to visit them ...
or finesse the system (with app) so that you get to visit many friends regardless of location.

What's the math say about maximum visits possible?
You pick 4 friends to visit you, but you could visit everybody?

Entrepreneur Alert
The app might calculate group distribution (with weighted picks)

Call the app The Belgian Waffle (as in "to waffle")

hey rod, that's only a part of the plandemicmovie.com can't wait for more and wonder how gatekeepers will scramble over the rest. i think there are valid points in the video and an interesting point of discussion would be the condemnation and removal of the video from popular social media platforms as it would seem private interest act in contrast to westerns constitutional values(despite their success and origins being birthed as a platform for the people by the people). to quote from the plandemic website, "The window of opportunity is open like never before. For the first time in human history, we have the world’s attention. Plandemic will expose the scientific and political elite who run the scam that is our global health system, while laying out a new plan; a plan that allows all of humanity to reconnect with healing forces of nature. 2020 is the code for perfect vision. It is also the year that will go down in history as the moment we finally opened our eyes." and that's what's happening.

i also agree with dr francis boyle who says the WHO, big pharma and the CDC are in collusion. You'll find his claims about the virus research in the US alongside facilities listed match the statements made by dr. judy mikovits. https://youtu.be/VVTbW47hPmo

near the end of the interview he describes the patriot act and the decree of his censorship here in the, "land of the free." i did not find this video easily and am happy to say it's still available for your viewing eyes. i support trends.gab.com because it does not remove content in the name of, "public safety." outlandish thoughts or idea's are allowed to be debated among a discerning eye. i find wikepedia's political bias once again targeting dissenting opinion by labeling dr. judy mikovits as a discredited scientist, "known" for her scientific misconduct... CBS has been caught staging covid-19 related news... all this to say, i wonder what collusion exist between major media platforms.

"Staten Island hospital nurse accused of stealing, using credit card from her dying Covid-19 patient"

Considering what was charged on the card (only "gasoline and groceries"), this could also have been
with the father's permission and for the nurse's quality care at a time stressful to all.

This kind of generosity by a patient is not unusual ...
and often without the family's knowledge.

Morning insight ...

The accumulating articles about this coronavirus suggest that how one's body responds
is unique and must be effective! The many people - worldwide - showing excess weight
indicates that these people are not getting sufficient exercise 1) to burn excess calories
and 2) to get the greater health benefits from exercise that will cause better response
to typical viral loads (via shedding by infected people) in public places. Of course,
lack of exercise limits the response of people not overweight as well.

"If there’s going to be a public insurrection, they know the battle lines will be dawn in Texas.

"Dawn in Texas" may be the reality whereas "drawn" was intended.

Unless "patriot community" is a psychological concept,
one needs to belong to this group to know that it exists ... apparently.

Whether real news or not, this statement has been true historically:
"ideal method of execution for instilling fear among the masses"
(even if fake news, this begins to arouse a bit of fear).

Depriving the brain of oxygen may end consciousness
much faster than other popular methods of life dispatch.
