COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[bluethrunthru]

It seems like the only way we are getting to grips with this in the near future is by almost all of us catching it. With the evidence suggesting that viral loading results in a worse case of the virus, could it ever be considered to manually infect people with a very low dose to let the body naturally defend itself against it? That way we can get to the point of having the right amount of people with the antibodies without causing people to need medical treatment. Or is this a pie in the sky idea?

Only if 250k deaths is acceptable

These things are cheap, made from common resources and easy to manufacture. The mask shortages were always going to be a very short term thing. By the end of May the world will be swimming in more masks and respirators than we can use.

We'll need to be, they're not effective for very long.

Watching horizon the other day they already know how to make the vaccine , they’ve reproduced the protein that the virus uses to latch on to a human cell, they can introduce that into the body so it can create the antibodies but not have to deal with the virus , a scientist in London said they can produce 5million in a week but the catch is this all needs testing & approving .

How do we know that it's the NHS management or PHE giving the advice to the Gov't on facemasks?

As far as I know, NHS management aren't giving any advice to the Gov't on COVID-19? Obviously PHE are or are you saying that the two groups are one and the same?

There are a few articles on this back in february. I'll dig them out when I'm feeling a bit better tomorrow.
Basically PHE sets the scientific rules and NICE and other NHS bodies delivers the guidence. NICE or the other bodies are in no way flexible so "could" advice is interpreted as "shouldn't" or "won't". It's the way monothic bureaucracy works.

Yeah, it's just the further they travel, the more they disperse, the less densely they are packed. And they know the more virus particles you get, the worse things are. Being coughed on from 4 metres wouldn't be great. But they're concentrating on the early evidence, that most people are getting infected by picking up virus strands on their hands from droplets given out by someone standing within a metre or so away from them for a good few minutes... we then transferring what's on our hands to our face, and bang. That's apparently the story they've found in the early cases, over and over.

I've almost given up vaping because one doctor on another forum said it was definitely not a good combination with corona. Using niquitines and the spray whenever possible, but I will have the odd toot now and then.

And I know someone who's making the stuff! Essential work apparently. (I suppose better than going back to ciggies.)

It’s mad that this whole 5G thing is making the headlines so often. How the fuck do people think you catch a virus from an electromagnetic wave?

You say that, but oddly enough my wife has a friend making them at home. They can be washed and dried daily. They've some type of filter which can also be washed.
It seems to me that the government is missing a trick here. Make do, mend and save lives.

That's what happens when you give people with half a brain access to the internet mate.
The same idiots blamed 3g then 4g on brain cancer, AIDS and heart and lung function.
These types usually refuse to let their kids be immunised as well.

My county in the US just put under curfew 9pm to 5am

Seriously?

 

[Bill Walker]

Which County?

Hazard county.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Which County?

Hillsborough, Tampa

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Seriously?

Yes.

Hillsborough, Tampa

I thought Florida had been dragging it's feet

3M are now making 100 million N95 masks per month and that's on it's way to doubling. And while they are the biggest supplier they are not the only one.

China are currently making 116 million masks and respirators every day.

These things are cheap, made from common resources and easy to manufacture. The mask shortages were always going to be a very short term thing. By the end of May the world will be swimming in more masks and respirators than we can use.

That’s about half that work then.

It effects your immune system by receiving incorrect signals due to increased electro, therefore the body creates to much anti bodies to fight a non existent threat, along comes covid and your to weak to handle it or you’ve created so much anti bodies they make you ill. not my thoughts. 5g theorist.

Can see it now, in stead of smack, dealers will be offering, “a bag of masks”. Made by wife’s friend, not the Chinese shit.

Belgium has the worst deaths per million from Covid and they haven't got 5g.

Conclusion: not having 5g leads to greater incidence of Covid, therefore 5g must somehow destroy the virus.

A much better conspiracy theory. Dear Eamonn....

For those outraged that some people are not being registered as covid related deaths. Stop fucking worrying. Their death is registered and total deaths are logged and published here. It's not like anyone is sweeping anything under the carpet despite your desire to think so. Just because you don't know something doesn't make your opinion true.

If I read it right, that's the stats for "excess deaths" (above expected) but excluding Covid deaths. So if a doctor doesn't attribute death to Covid it would appear in these stats but not the daily Covid list, even if the cause was Covid-related.
