Its in the literature on cdc and who websites when u read through carefully. Its bow diagnostic tests work.. They magnify the specimens they extract.. And the truth is half the population is harboring bactetis and virus all the time.. Including coronavirus family of viruses.. If any viral count is detected, no matter the load, it is counted as positive for “corona” not “covid 19.” It also takes a certain viral.load to cause sickness and evem if one little speck of corona family virus is detected in a test it is labeled as positive and the case numbers go up.. If we were to test this much every year we would probably have very similar numbers.. As to “deaths” attributed to covid i can inly speculate and dont wish to delve into conspiracy or lunacy because it is auspicious and clearly happening, according to the cdc and who, but they are both private entities in and of themselves and it can all b easily wrapped together as a play on numbers to instill fear and control.. But i digress… Fact is the science of the diagnostic tests is not even fully tested against the scientific norm of following up on initial tests to see how and who and how much people are actually sick.. Like i said, and like science has said, we all carry a load of bacteria, virus, pollen, etc in our nasal and mouthways and i fear that i false positives and not helped with the mass hysteria.. It may b why people are “asymptomatic.” The cdc and other epidimeologists have also blatently said that these small viral.loads we may harbor do not equate to infecting others… I am no scientist myself but i have been trying to glean from as many reputable sources as possible in my down time.. Chasing something.. Perhaps we are all trying to chase some kind of understanding to deal with the actual unknown out there.. But the cdc amd fda and who have for years prescribed and suggested poisons for people as medicine and my “conspiracy” is that the covid 19 deaths are not related to one new singular disease.. Either way.. Its also just my.opinion and i have plenty of tp in case i am wrong. Thanks for all your reporting.

I agree.

I agree, thanks for taking the time to write that. The more you really read between the lines about it…that means stray from the front page articles and do follow up sluething…unafraid to really look at what’s happening, the more it became obvious to me that something’s rotten in denmark. There’s a serious, very serious, lack of common sense. Nefarious or not, there’s an element of fear intentionally being pushed that isn’t necessary, and is very unintelligent. However, it begets no-questions-asked reaction, which is what the proverbial “powers that be” are unpretentiously pushing for. It perpetuates anxiety and stress, which does in fact create all sorts of health problems. Forcing the ducks in line with cattle prods. I feel sorry for today’s children, who see this hysteria as how the adult world operates. It’s how sensationalism and fearmongering become standard.

…Or what.

Don’t count on any real results from our county officials. They are all incompetent.

Especially those represented publicly, they are just puppets.

Your only hope is to ignore the powers-that-be and isolate yourselves.

Best of luck to you and yours. Stay safe, stay alive – STAY HOME.

What do you think…. Coincidence? Problem, Reaction, Solution…. ?
Just in case you thought things would quickly return to normal, check out this article from one of Americas Think Tanks- Social Engineers of Technology; Massachusetts Institute of Technology Aka: MIT “We all want things to go back to normal quickly. But what most of us have probably not yet realized—yet will soon—is that things won’t go back to normal after a few weeks, or even a few months. Some things never will….. Read the Article on MIT:

I did see this coming.

My parents are prepared for 2 years of this new life, until a vaccine is ready for 7 billion people.

It would be possible to have a half-normal return if we employ health-screenings and Corona testing everywhere (and I mean everywhere), along with intense case tracking.

Will the USA do that? I doubt it.

The reason that Germany has such a low death rate is because they implemented ‘track and trace’ early on.

I think it’s too late now to effectively track and trace in the US. Infection is too widespread. We need to test everyone irrespective of contact.

Another interesting point In the article on Germany answered one of my earlier questions which was shouldn’t the death rate be going down (which it isn’t) as the world tests more asymptomatic people and people with mild symptoms. The answer was as I assumed.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/04/world/europe/germany-coronavirus-death-rate.html

Germany has been testing far more people than most nations. That means it catches more people with few or no symptoms, increasing the number of known cases, but not the number of fatalities. “That automatically lowers the death rate on paper,” said Professor Kräusslich.

If we play our cards right, and start building infrastructure for it – we could get to the point of track and trace here before August and fall time.

Keeping essential business open and safe and healthy can be an economy of its own.

I agree, since it will give a truer number of how many in the US actually got the virus, and went unreported.

I also like to see tests to see if the virus was in the US far earlier than when it was first detected by current testing, since some respiratory deaths, that occurred Humboldt in the early fall of 2019, seemed rather suspicious.

The only reason you say some things wont b “normal” is because of how easiky everyone was whipped into a frenzy ajd scared of other people.. I guess we will see as time goes on.. You know, whatvthe “numbers” Say… How many false positives are out there? How many people still die of other corona family viruses (flu, etc) . the cdc itself says the tests result in false positive because they are designed to test for all virus..

I would like to know. How many people are tested each day, what are they being tested for exactly, and is there any followup tracking and retesting. How accurate are the tests, false negatives, false positives? At this point are people only being tested if they show possible symptoms?
