thats garbage. He is political. there are retired experts with no political agenda who say he is wrong. I disagree with him and Im not a cover denier. I disagree with the measures. Cant you see the dfference?

not sure what you mean by this. If you mean that death rates were decreased by lockdowns I would ask where is the evidence of this? Its too simplistic to say it would have been worse without them.

Apparently he has strong ties to Big Pharma since back in the 80s and HIV. One does not need to be a polititian for this.

That would make 3 years in total, unlikely. SARS lastet roughly one year. So Wuhan outbreaks on large scale shoud be over within the next quarter. Perhaps a bit longer due people not getting exposed that much. Herd immunity was confirmed in Sweden and works just as with any other virus.

Have you got any link confirming Sweden has confirmed has confirmed herd immunity?
 

 The immunity you get differs a lot from virus to virus. Once you have caught a common cold you are not immune to catching one again.

You can do your homework yourself. How do yo think a flu vaccine works? Or that common cold you get exposed to it? They do not last for 3 years and you do not get sick from the same one again. Different viruses, sure, but same result.

Excess death rates went down in every country about 3 weeks after lockdowns were introduced. That is pretty strong evidence that they worked.

 

So I ask you again do you have any explanation apart from lockdowns for why the excessive death rate went down

Thats a good point. My understanding is that herd immunity does not mean total immunity, just like vaccines confer only partial immunity. There have been recent studies suggesting that there has been too much focus on antibody immunity which at the most has been measured at around 20% of the population. There is a suggestion that due to the very close similarities with the outer proteins of other corona virus a large percentage of the population already has T cell immunity. That would mean the threshold or herd immunity is lower than originally thought. The bottom line is its highly unlikely we can eradicate the virus with or without herd immunity or a vaccine so we need to learn too love with its minimize both damage from the disease and collateral damage from the policies of suppression.

Herd Immunity = Wishful Thinking.

Nobody has the final answer on that (yet).

But when comparing geographies that applied different measures to cope with covid, it is clear that the Simpleton Explantation of Lock-downs and Mask-wearing is NOT the answer.

That's the importance of the Sweden case, that did not do worse than UK or Spain were draconian measures were enforced (with much collateral damage).

have you got an explanation as to why the same pattern is in every country regardless of lockdown or not? The lockdowns were often after the disease had widely spread and had already affected the most susceptible. I have seen experts saying exactly this and that the peak arrived and fell regardless of lockdowns. The most susceptible were elderly in their 80s with low immune systems and co morbidities it makes perfect sense that there would be a spike in deaths and then once thse people have passed a fall in deaths

totally agree and a longer term look at this will probably show that excess deaths spiked and then fell as happens in other years following a "soft" flu season

8 posts but speaking for whole Asia. Impressive ????

 

Do you really think Thailand is immune because of keeping the borders closed? I would rather expect a huge outbreak in a not so distant future while most other countries succesfully recover and restart their economies and life.

 it is actually possible to disagree with lockdown policies without being a so called COVID denier

many here are simply expressing objection to the reaction and policies not denying existence of the virus

Lockdown has worked real well for Peru, the Philippines and many other countries hasn't it?  Months and months of lockdowns, yet cases kept rolling in.  

Guys like Poovorawan have no idea what they are talking about. And don't you hate the term "new normal"? I despise it. He has no idea where this thing is going. It is a wild guess, at best. And all it does is invoke fear in people, and serves no productive end. Therefore, he is an panic monger, and a threat to the security of the nation. 

 

And from the beginning, there is only one thing I have been certain about. The official narrative is not the reality, or the truth. Ever.

yes exactly you beat me to it Peru is a classic example of this. Also consider the timing. Its not disputed that the virus is tramitted quickly and easily. So in the case of Thailand the lockdown occurred about 3 months after the virus first arrived here. So what happened during those 3 months? It waited in a corner for us to lockdown? And no one points this out when crediting the government policy for suppressing it. The imperial college model predicted 80,000 deaths for Sweden if they didn't lockdown. Why can't they admit they got it wrong.

Maybe you should have added some more information. New cases of covid in Sweden are increasing. A city has gone into a voluntary lockdown to fight the incease of new covid cases. These are both signs that there is no herd immuntiy in Sweden. Also I can not find any link that states that herd immunity has been comfirmed. In fact the only links I could find state that the number of antibodies in the general Swedish population is very low.

Why do new cases matter if they are just mild, no outbreaks and do not cause any more deaths? Your body shows also a reaction when you get vaccinated, that is needed and simply how it works. Cases means tested, not sick.

 

The same actually happens in most other countries too, regardless if lockdown or not, with exemption of the USA. Maybe more, can't check all.

You need to do some research on Fauci.  He's not political at all.  Do the research.  The measures are the best we have right now.  Considering the virus is new and we still don't know all about it.

That's why deaths in the USA go constantly up whereas in most other countries they are falling.

I spend pretty much every day researching this. I don't know how you can say he isn't political. Plenty of experts with no political agenda such as retired virologists disagree that these are the best measures. Also the science is one part of the equation. Scientists are equipped to give scientific advice on the contagion but it doesn't make them experts on how to balance all public interests including the economic and social fallout

T cell immunity may well be the answer to this. Antibody immunity is not the only immunity. This virus is from a family of similar virus circulating in the population. The. outer structure is very similar and scientists are saying there is evidence of  T cell immunity in the population. The original forecasts of catastrophe are based partly on the notion that there was zero immunity to begin with.
