The World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19 urged world leaders this week to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method.”
“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Dr. David Nabarro said to The Spectator’s Andrew Neil. “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”

The WHO is recommending some changes to PCR testing.
"PCR positive" is no longer a Covid "case"
You are not Covid "case" now unless you get a second test to confirm it, and are presenting clinical symptoms.
WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology.
WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity.

Cheap hair lice drug may cut the risk of hospitalised Covid patients dying by up to 80%, study finds
Ivermectin - which can cost as little as £1.50 per treatment- was also found to potentially halve the time those suffering from the virus were on the ward
Ivermectin was discovered in the 1970s and has fast become an essential medicine for a vast number of parasitic infections, such as head lice and scabies.
It is branded as Stromectol, an oral tablet for scabies and Soolantra, a skin cream for rosacea. It is branded as Sklice for treating head lice, which was approved in the US this year.
Today it is prescribed on the NHS and in the US for these conditions, but some scientists argue it could also be useful against Covid-19.

“Several studies show you can grow the virus in a test tube and then kill it off with high doses of various drugs we already have
Innocuous FDA-approved drug like ivermectin at five or ten times the normal doses, of course you’re going to have toxicity”

- A virus has been reported. The virus affects mainly old, infirm, and those with comorbidities - the people who typically die of the flu.
- The virus also appears to affect PoC more severely
- PCR "cases" indicates the presence of old inert remnants of inactive pieces of virus
- The PCR test replicates, amplifies, multiplies the sample X times. 30-35 cyles is good, above will give lots of false postive "cases" - but they are false positive - if the PCR test was re-run at 28 or 30 it will likely be negative.
- PCR testing has an interesting side effect in that the testing organization obtains your full DNA profile
This is an excellent overview of the cases issue: "Case rate fallacy/false positive paradox" is derived from Bayes theorem. When the incidence of a disease in a population is low, unless the test used has very high specificity, more false positives will be determined than true positives. The difference in the numbers can be quite striking and certainly not inherently understandable." MedPageToday.com - Here's What's Wrong With COVID-19 Case Counts
- The CDC last updated the data in 2018 - we have no data from 2019 or 2020 - no cause of death by age.
- This is important because how will we know when the vaccines are effective?
- Why is this simple data being withheld?
- Old infirm w/ comorbidity are dying. So Why inject young healthy of reproductive age?
- If the supermarket and many stores and business can be open, why not the library?
- It is completely unrealistic to believe a natural virus jumped out of a bush and caused this pandemic. This is a man-made virus.
- The virus did not come from nature. It has too many advanced gain-of-function features that scientists recently proudly documented in published papers.

Here is a question I posted on Facebook, and also on Twitter
Who are famous people who are questioning the whole narriative of lockdowns and injecting young healthy people
- Ian Brown (British Rocker Stone Roses and solo)
- Van Morrison (British Rocker 1960's to now)
- Eric Clapton (British Rocker 1960's to now)
Who apparently is a fascist in favor of lockdowns and injections of young healthy of reproductive age
- Healthcare providers - injecting young healthy to save old infirm? Really? Where is the logic in that?
- Local officials and public health officials - lock down the library and withhold data of deaths by Cause by Age - why hide simple data?

Love, Death and Robots love-death-and-robots-zima-blueImage via Netflix Created by: Tim Miller
Executive produced by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and legendary filmmaker David Fincher, the animated anthology series Love, Death & Robots is kind of the perfect catch-all for sci-fi fans. Each episode hails from a different writer and director, and the theme holding them all together is the idea of sci-fi technology. As a result you get a wide range of tone from uber-violent to romantic to hysterically funny. All in all, though, there’s just some really great sci-fi storytelling in here. – Adam Chitwood
