Another misconception is that the young are more or less unaffected by the virus and should be free to go about. According to the World Health Organization’s Regional Director for Africa, “In terms of those who are infected [in Africa], younger people tend to be the majority who are infected, people between the ages of 25 up to about 45

That’s because Africa has the youngest population on earth. Back here in the developed world, a young person is more likely to die from a car accident than Covid-19. In order to improve your analysis, may I humbly suggest reading the 1954 book How To Lie With Statistics which many scientists today are using as a manual to get their manuscripts published rather than a cautionary tale.

For stating the obvious, conspiracy theorists will say that I am part of the conspiracy and morons will say that I favor a permanent lockdown,

No, what I am saying is that you have succumb to confirmation bias which is something we must all must guard against. This is evidenced by the fact that you have used virologists to justify lock downs instead of epidemiologists and those who know something about data analysis and statistics.

Virologists are not qualified to say how Covid-19 spreads. This is not their expertise.

whereas what I actually advocate is caution.

This assumes that the lock down policy which you advocate does not actually make Covid-19 deaths and infections worse – which is clearly not the case.

Contrary to what virologists and other experts say, the infection data shows that the Covid-19 virus is spread through the air and not by mystical droplets. This means that locking people up in unventilated rooms increases the concentration of the virus and increases Covid-19 infection and death. Outside, the virus is dispersed so even if you are laying on top of each other, there is no way to get a great enough concentration of Covid-19 to get infected.

An excellent interview with Maurice de Hond is below.

Note that not even Norway, the country most cited by the pro-lockdown crowd, thinks that lockdowns are unnecessary.

Cuomo just reversed his policy of requiring nursing homes to take coronavirus patients from hospitals.

Has New Jersey and California reversed this policy as well?

But more importantly, useful solutions, from vitamin C and D and Zinc to environmentally protective factors like humidity haven’t been discussed almost at all. These things are obvious

Trump promoted them, so they must be true. No science necessary.

You are saying that that adequate levels of Vitamin C and D and Zinc are not necessary for good health? Are you so consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome that you automatically disagree with anything Trump says? BTW, the best way to deprive people of essential Vitamin D is to encourage them to stay in there homes making them susceptible to disease and depression.

Most don’t seem to understand that Covid is costing the medical community lots of money, and they have little financial interest in turning non-Covid deaths into Covid deaths.

Really,? Medicare compensation is higher by simply marking any patient as having the corona virus.

School staff can choose to continue or not to work, a choice not really free when a salary is at stake.

You are correctly pointing out that the independently wealthy are the only ones with true freedom of choice in the US. So why not solve this by giving everyone Universal Basic Income for at least the duration of the Corona Virus Outbreak – like Trump wants to do instead of trampling on everyone’s civil liberties?

If they did it to spite Trump and drag him down, it recalls the aphorism that, before you set off down to road to seek revenge, you must first dig two graves. Nemesis has extracted her revenge in that case.

You are quite correct that the Democrat efforts have boomeranged. Trumps popularity continues to increase. The Democrats hyping of the virus only serves to scare their own but not Trump’s base. This is why the Democrats want vote by mail because their base is too scared to physically go to the polls. Not to mention how vote my mail presents the Democrats with exciting new opportunities for voter fraud.

What’s 50 Hz got to do with 5G?

Answer – Nothing. 50Hz is the power line transmission frequency in Europe (60Hz in the US and Japan). The paper may lend support to those who are concerned about living close to power lines but has nothing to do with 5G.

That’s 50G, at the very least. Please avoid 1 pettaherz until I advice safe

Incorrect. 5G is a protocol not a transmission frequency. In the US, T-Mobile 5G is at 600MHz a band that was stolen from home UHF Over The Air TV. This makes 5G much safer than 4G or any other previous cell phone protocols which all operate at much higher frequencies.

Aerial bombing of cities in fact started during WW1. Germany adopted the tactic on a massive scale during its 1939 invasion of Poland, deploying several thousand aircraft to that end

As usual, CanSpeccy provides a post that is a complete deflection. The point was not who started bombing first but who purposely bombed civilian, non-military targets first in WWII and this was indisputably the British.

I’m not sure why we have a lockdown anymore. Are we trying to extinguish the virus

No. We have a lockdown because the Democrats are trying to destroy Trump’s popularity and re-election chances by continuing to destroy the economy. Notice that it is the anti-Trump Democrat governors who are resisting opening up their states while instituting policies designed to inflict the maximum economic harm on the small businesses while the Republican governors are leading the way to re-opening.

In both cases, the Anglo-Polish Mutual Assistance Agreement and the US commitment to Taiwan, the objective was to deter what the UN has defined as the ultimate war crime, a war of territorial aggression.

Complete BS. You do realize that there was no UN back then to make such a declaration.

Also, Germany would say it had a duty to protect the Germans in Poland which supercedes any laws against territorial aggression. The duty to protect has been used by the west as recently as its invasion of Libya and Syria.

Also, China would that the US is committing war crimes by aiding and abetting those who seek to violate its territorial integrity.

Yes, let us look at one particular German scientist, Dr Wolfgang Wodarg. Use Google Translate.

Rather than have everyone wade through your links, summarize the three our four most compelling arguments in your own words that you think prove your point that Covid-19 is more harmful than the flu.

There are many lessons that we should learn from the virus challenge.

Yes, not the least of which is what are the hardest three words for scientists, epidemiologists and Paul Craig Roberts to say – I don’t know.

Any scientist who says we know this or that doesn’t have the first clue about the scientific method. Since science is always contingent on the next experiment, the greatest certainty any real scientist can state is we think we know this or that.

The same goes for epidemiologists who always work with vastly incomplete data and inaccuracies within the data they have.

In our republic, citizens are supposed to educate themselves the best they can and act accordingly. If you think those who argue that Covid-19 is the greatest plague since the Black Death are convincing, by all means, quarantine yourself or isolate yourself. You do not have the right to lock everyone in their homes and persecute every one who disagrees with you and behave like Torquemada trying to save everyone’s soul.

Said carte blanche being the:

Anglo-Polish Agreement in 1939 for mutual assistance in case of a military invasion from Germany, as specified in a secret protocol.

So Britain, directed presumably by the devious Winston Churchill – a back-bench MP at the time, gave a “unique carte blanche” to Poland to do what, exactly? Defend itself? Good God, how devilish was that? No wonder Hitler conspired to wipe Poland off the map.

Yes. Quite benign. By the same token, you must find China being upset about the commitments the US made to Taiwan in case of invasion quite baffling as well.

There was nothing illegal in the Ukraine call, therefore no need for the IG to report it. And until someone got a bee under their bonnet, 2nd hand information did not legally qualify as “whistle-blowing” but someone changed the reporting form (a piece of paper not a law of Congress) to hide that little problem.

Exactly. Yes, Trump put people in in charge who wouldn’t try to sabotage his agenda – how awful. Trump also put people in charge to stop the corruption and money laundering of the Obama appointees. For example, EPA funneling money to environmental groups by settling instead of fighting lawsuits and then these environmental groups taking that settlement money and funneling it back to Obama and the Democrats.

The people elected Trump not any of these technocrats. Philip Giraldi seems to be applauding their subversion of the Republic.

Your claim has psychological plausibility, although it provides no basis for the view that either Britain or, single-handedly, Winston Churchill was responsible for the war, or that events made any war inevitable. Rather, Germany and Russia entered into a secret agreement to commit the ultimate war crime: the initiation of a war of aggression, a war that resulted in the occupation and partition of the sovereign state of Poland.

Timelines are important here. Which came first, Poland’s refusal to negotiate with Hitler or the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact?

If forced testing is a thing, I would applaud it.

Thanks for pointing out that I succumbed to the false dilemma logical fallacy. I hadn’t considered a third possibility – that you actually are a totalitarian for which forced medical treatment is a hallmark. Unfortunately, you have proven David Horowitz right again – Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.

Please don’t go to the hospital for anything, your genius can cure any n all illness.

Actually if you had your way and everyone who tested positive for Coronavirus was unnecessarily hospitalized, I couldn’t go to the hospital because it would be full.

Because people like you who have Corona virus Derangement Syndrome control my state, I can’t get my cat neutered because Veterinarians are banned from performing elective surgeries. Because you know, we can’t be to careful.

Besides all the deaths you already have on your hands, you can add a bunch of unwanted kittens and puppies to that list.

He got the virus and died from it despite following all precautions during his service.

Where is your proof that he died from the virus and not just with the virus? You do know that the vast majority of those with Covid-19 never develop any symptoms. I realize that these type of nuanced arguments are difficult to follow for people like you who suffer from Covid-19 Derangement Syndrom but please try to focus.

This is where testing and hospitalization comes in. This is where we, USA lags behind China by several million miles. We don’t do contact tracing, don’t test enough people, we also forced most to go home, infecting their family members. When we should be keeping them in hospitals.

Yes. That’s why we hospitalize all flu patients and don’t send them at home. After all, it is much easier to get infections at home than when you are in the hospital.

If only all the retarded deniers get karma like this.

Only the credulous believe what they read in The NY Times and NBC news.

First of all, it is unclear if Bishop Gerald O. Glenn died from corona virus or WITH coronavirus.. People not suffering from CDR (Corona virus Derangement Syndrome) know the difference. It would have been very easy for media with resources like NBC and The NY Times to get a copy of the death certificate. However, as usual, NBC news and The NY Times chose to rely on rumours instead getting hard data which could destroy their narratives. Note that Bishop Gerald O. Glenn had severe diverticulitis which resulted in frequent fevers and sinus infections which makes Covid-19 as the cause of death even more suspect.

Second, contrary to the liars at The NY Times, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn DID practice social distancing. Quote from his daughter:

When he decided to have services, he was very clear in posting signs and having hand sanitizer, and wearing gloves and not congregating with people after service, during service, People were asked to sit six feet apart. Family members sat together. That’s it. After service, there was no talking and hanging around. Everyone left.

Finally, although some of the bishop’s family members are apparently infected with Covid-19, I can find no information regarding any illness they may have.

If Rick Grenell destroys the CIA, more power to him. The CIA is nothing but a treasonous assassination, democracy overthrowing, dirty tricks, drug dealing and torture organization which makes the US less safe and has spawned everything from the Islamic Republic of Iran to ISIS. The CIA should be immediately disbanded to make the US and the world a safer place. It’s important to remember that Truman stated that his greatest regret was his creation of the CIA. Maybe Rick Grenell can correct or at help alleviate Truman’s error.

The Unnecessary Invasion?

It’s worse than unnecessary. The US entry into WWII and before that, supplying weapons to Churchill actually caused the Holocaust. Anyone wanting to read the real history of why the Holocaust occurred and how WWII turned the US from a Republic into a national security state should read Human Smoke and The Good War that Wasn’t

To very briefly summarize the arguments in these books which contain many citations and references:

The Nazis wanted to deport the Jews, No country, including the US would take them. The British even blocked their entry into Palestine and Madagascar.

Churchill, with the help of the US put a starvation blockade on Germany. As a result, Germany didn’t have enough food to feed all its people so it exterminated the Jews and other undesirables rather than starve them to death. This is also why Germany invaded the USSR – to get the breadbasket of Europe, the Ukraine.

I don’t know Chinese eating habits well enough to say whether they really eat stranger stuff on the average, or whether it is simply that the large population means that there are more eccentrics.

It’s neither. First of all China is a huge country and the regional diets vary greatly. Like is true around the world, including Europe and the US, the traditionally poorer sections of China had to supplement their diet with non-livestock animals in order to get their protein.

An example from the old TV comedy The Beverly Hillbillies caricaturing poor US southerners diet follows.

Mr Drysdale: What are you cooking Granny?
Granny: Snyder Swamp Stew
Mr. Drysdale: Why is it called Snyder Swamp Stew?
Granny: Because it’s got all the critters from Snyder Swamp in it.
