I don’t fear a virus that is allegedly infecting and killing as much as I do politically induced panic.  There are so many mixed messages based upon faulty if not contrived and outright fraudulent data it is difficult to sort out and draw any conclusion from this so-called pandemic.  And now, as if there wasn’t enough confusion, we have government permission to pray but we can’t go to church (ban on assembly in large groups)!  More about that at the end of this report.

Under the conjured-up fear of death, world populations have willingly complied with political mandates to lockdown and self-quarantine indoors and avoid contact with others, essentially freezing economies and further worsening a respiratory disease season that is largely defined by a lack of sunshine vitamin D in winter months.

Coronavirus calendar /cycle of infection

Health authorities should know coronaviruses come in November-December and decline in April and May (see chart below).  Regardless of testing or treatment, as the earth tilts back towards the sun in spring and summer the coronavirus outbreak should subside.  If it doesn’t, one should suspect falsified science and fake news reporting.

Coronavirus was always in circulation but human immune systems are weak in winter due to a lack of sunshine vitamin D, a preventive modern medicine chooses to ignore.

Politics enters the discussion

Political posturing has entered the discussion over how to handle the coronavirus epidemic.  With an anticipated month off work, one wonders how Americans are going to pay their taxes on April 15.  Critics of a proposed payroll tax cut for the remainder of the year issued the usual opposition from the other side of the political aisle asserting such a measure would only benefit the wealthy – – but those are the only people paying taxes (the bottom 45% of American households pay no federal taxes, though they do pay mandated payroll deductions for Medicare & Social Security).

The situation room

Put yourself in the situation room.  Here is what is known.

The US doesn’t have an adequate supply of test kits to confirm respiratory disease cases are COVID-19 coronavirus.  What good would testing do? Treatment is not necessarily tailored to the type of virus detected and sunlight cures all infectious respiratory tract diseases.

It could be presumed that laboratory-confirmed infection with survival would indicate an individual has developed natural antibodies and would therefore not benefit from or need to be inoculated when a vaccine gains approval.  However, the current COVID-19 test determines who is spreading the disease.  A new test that measures whether adequate antibodies were produced would determine who, among the infected and certainly the uninfected, would benefit from future vaccination.  Those individuals with sufficient antibodies would not benefit from vaccination.  They have developed memory T-cells that afford long-term immunity.  The CDC makes no mention of this side benefit from prior infection.  And the CDC is likely planning universal mandated overvaccination.

Why the CDC released testing kits that provide faulty results (false positive and false negatives) goes unexplained.   The labs the CDC dispatched the tests to detected the problem, not the CDC.  How could labs detect the flawed test kits and not the CDC?

More befuddling, a recent report indicates infected patients may exhibit positive testing days after hospital discharge.  Then do these people have to remain under quarantine?

What is the benefit of testing?

It is difficult to fashion a rationale how testing is going to slow rates of infection.  In the United Kingdom (UK), 20,388 people were tested to find 163 cases of COVID-19 coronavirus infection (less than 1% infection rate).  No mention is made what brought the other 20,225 to the clinic or hospital for examination?

Free testing

Congress just passed legislation for free testing.   The masses are mindlessly going to clamor for the test.  Politicians are already making noise the poor should have equal access to testing.

Rather, testing should be targeted at high-risk groups (mostly the aged) as infection rates among the young and healthy are nil.  And just precisely what does a doctor do with an 80-year old with no symptoms who tests positive for COVID-19?

Early testing and quarantine in South Korea are said to have resulted in a very, very low (7/10ths of 1%) mortality rate among those infected (51 deaths among 7.478 infections as of March 9), compared to 3.4% in Wuhan, China.  However, careful review of this report reveals this low death rate is not attributed to testing or treatment but rather the fact 63% of infected individuals were young, according to a report in Asia Times.  Cases of lung infection in younger adults suggest tuberculosis, not coronavirus.

When disease is reported without infection

Testing itself can falsely fan the flames of fear.  As explained in a report in Science News, “If you’re going to test in a State that doesn’t have a coronavirus outbreak right now (3 States), with a specificity of 90% (specifically confirms COVID-19 and not some other virus is present), 10 out of 100 people are going to show up positive even though the coronavirus isn’t there yet.”

Nothing like spreading false panic.  The CDC has been doing this with its false flu numbers for years.  An authoritative report published in Epoch Times reveals out of 62,034 deaths in 2001 reported for influenza and pneumonia, only 18 cases of the flu were laboratory confirmed!  This represents massive over-vaccination.

There is so much confusion over the flu versus flu-like illnesses that reporting from the CDC is like a hidden card trick.

What business is the CDC in?

To ensure there is enough flu going around, the FDA re-released nasally instilled FluMist which is known to facilitate shedding of viral particles and spread of infection.  A CDC panel recommended Flu-Mist be withdrawn from use in 2016.  Flumist was reported to be inferior to standard needle-instilled viral particles.  A major problem is that Flumist sheds viral particles that may put immune compromised family members at risk for infection (a great way to start an adult epidemic from children to grandparents).

Confusion reigns

We don’t know whether people are dying of the seasonal flu, coronavirus, or something else (likely is Mycobacterium tuberculosis; which would likely infect younger Latino immigrants in the US with latent TB).
