Below are recent interviews of worldwide medical experts.

 

Maybe listening to them would help temper the ongoing hysteria...

I guess it's the same as climate change, a small percentage beg to differ.

Are you prepared to trust your life to their opinion?

Bravo! Fantastic thread!

 

The government’s anti-COVID19 measures are grotesque, absurd and very dangerous. The life expectancy of millions is being shortened. The horrifying impact on the world economy threatens the existence of countless people. The consequences on medical care are profound. Already services to patients in need are reduced, operations cancelled, practices empty, hospital personnel dwindling. All this will impact profoundly on our whole society. All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide based on nothing but a spook.

 

 

Whoever thinks that governments end viruses is wrong.

Probably more than trusting my life to politicians surrounded by people representing special interests...

Yes, excellent post, thank you Op.

 

So many important truthful statements that it is hard to choose the best. But this one stood out, in the context of elderly being hit the hardest by WuFlu:

 

"However, even some so-called mild or common-cold-type coronaviruses that have been known for decades can have case fatality rates as high as 8% when they infect elderly people in nursing homes."

The average age of the Covid19 fatality in Germany is 81.

 

The average age of the Covid19 fatality in Italy is 81.

 

End the panic!  

 

Open the doors!

 

Let the people live!

Not forgetting though: do please protect the elderly.

Not just the elderly, everybody should be given the care they need if they have any illness.

 

That goes not just for Covid19 but any other illness.

 

This mass panic is of course having the effect of really sick people being unable to even get hold of a doctor, as the idiot governments close everything down and create mass Covid19 panic.

Where is the figures for that? And quoting Italy which has the second highest aged population is kinda not giving the whole story

Governments are copying each other for political purposes mainly and acting as if this virus has a 100% death rate

I remember (well figurately) when Galileo was the only percentage who differed.

Or  counter agendas. Already there seems to be  reference  to "The Elderly" in dismissive terms as if they dead already. I am sure the majority have their own agenda which is to stay alive !

Could the Covid-19 case fatality rate be that low? No, some say, pointing to the high rate in elderly people. However, even some so-called mild or common-cold-type coronaviruses that have been known for decades can have case fatality rates as high as 8% when they infect elderly people in nursing homes.

 

Interesting topic. My sister informed me that more than ten people at a home for the elderly have passed away.

 

I am still raising a fundamental question on the virus. How does using a glass, or similar, of an infected person affect people?

 

  So more you read about the virus, so less you know.

Yes.Like Paddy standing in his paddock to get ahead in life,"they are outstanding in their field".

I think that's the point,we are not getting the whole story and many decisions are being made without having the whole story and without much consideration to the possible negative effects of those measures outweighing the benefits of the introduced measures.Beware the cure!

The national health institute said the average age of those who have died was 81

Yes, it's certainly being hyped up by the media, including countless updates on here. My favourite comment was this:

But remember the joke about tigers. “Why do you blow the horn?” “To keep the tigers away.” “But there are no tigers here.” “There you see!” 

 

Notwithstanding that, my gut feel is I'm not risking anymore than I have to, with once a week fresh food shopping as being the only near contact to others. And, of course, I'm in no position to weigh up whether the beneficial effects of segregation and self-isolation outweigh the economic and social negatives.

I agree and it could be a good practice run and a timely warning if something more deadly comes along so enormous benefits can be gained from the current outbreak.Not knowing is creating the biggest fear I think.

Thanks, I'm very aware that some young people have also died. However, they were exceptions. They do not qualify the hard statistics.

 

The statistics stand. They say that in Italy the average age of the Covid19 fatality is 81. In Germany equally the average age of the Covid19 fatality is 81.

 

Posting isolate reports of exceptions does not invalidate the statistics.

 

It's the same with people claiming two reports of re-infected from China and Japan mean there is no immunity.

 

That's not what it means. It means those cases were exceptions.

The 2003 SARS virus was very deadly and with some much smaller effort, it petered out.  I was living in Singapore when it started and next to Orange Grove Nursing home.  3 old patients died there from catching it from one younger family member that survived.  That SARS was the flu of the century when it occurred and a lot of fear and trepidation about, but it was gone a month or so later.

And obviously, governments around the world learnt lessons and would never be caught out by a similar outbreak again....

Because the protocols of testing, identifying and isolating works. 

 

We were also lucky that the SARS virus lost part of its genome in a mutation which affected its transmission.

 

Mutations can go in our favour as well, they need not be a bad thing.

Not only did the Robert Koch Institute warn in 2012 of a coronavirus pandemic, witness Bill Gates in 2015 warning of a pandemic. Gives you chills down your spine...

 

 

What did the governments do? Nothing! 

 

Now they are overcompensating and going to the other extreme.

many young ones too in NYC - dying drowning in my own snot is not something I want to experience, imo this country will be going to 24 hr curfew, sooner than later, and should have done so 6 weeks ago..

A practice run?

 

At the cost of the global economy!
