Fully referenced facts about Covid-19, provided by experts in the field,
to help our readers make a realistic risk assessment. (Regular updates
below)
"The only means to fight the plague is honesty." Albert Camus, The
Plague (1947)
Overview
1. According to data from the best-studied countries such as South
Korea
<https://www.businessinsider.com/south-korea-coronavirus-testing-death-rate-2020-3?op=1>,
Iceland <https://www.covid.is/data>, Germany
<https://www.tagesschau.de/regional/nordrheinwestfalen/corona-studie-heinsberg-101.html>
and Denmark
<https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/doedelighed-skal-formentlig-taelles-i-promiller-danske-blodproever-kaster-nyt-lys>,
the overall lethality of Covid19 is in the lower /per mille/ range
and thus *up to twenty times lower than initially assumed by the WHO.*
2. A study in /Nature Medicine/ comes to a similar conclusion
<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0822-7> even for the
Chinese city of Wuhan. The initially significantly higher values for
Wuhan were obtained because a *many people with mild or no symptoms
were not recorded*.
3. 50% to 80% of test-positive individuals remain symptom-free
<https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1375>. Even among the 70 to 79
year old persons about 60%
<https://www.niid.go.jp/niid/en/2019-ncov-e/9407-covid-dp-fe-01.html>
remain symptom-free, many more show only mild symptoms.
4. The median age of the deceased in most countries (including Italy
<https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/sars-cov-2-decessi-italia>)
is over 80 years and only about 1%
<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/99-of-those-who-died-from-virus-had-other-illness-italy-says>
of the deceased had no serious previous illnesses. The age and risk
profile of deaths thus essentially corresponds to normal mortality
<https://www.vienna.at/analyse-zeigt-covid-19-opferkurve-entspricht-normaler-mortalitaet/6581246>.
5. Many media reports of young and healthy people dying from Covid19
have *proven to be false upon closer inspection*. Many of these
people either did not die from Covid19 or they in fact had serious
preconditions
<https://sports.yahoo.com/spanish-football-coach-francisco-garcia-163153573.html>
(such as undiagnosed leukaemia).
6. Normal overall mortality <https://www.euromomo.eu/index.html> in the
US is about 8000 people
<https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm> per day, in
Germany about 2600 people and in Italy about 1800 people per day.
Influenza mortality in the US is up to 80,000
<https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/cdc-us-flu-deaths-winter/>, in
Germany and Italy up to 25,000, and in Switzerland up to 1500 people
per winter.
1. Strongly increased death rates, as in northern Italy, can be
influenced by additional risk factors such as very high air
pollution
<https://www.heise.de/tp/features/Feinstaubpartikel-als-Viren-Vehikel-4687454.html>
and legionella contamination
<https://www.apotheke-adhoc.de/nachrichten/detail/coronavirus/erhoehen-legionellen-die-todesrate-einer-corona-infektion/>,
as well as a collapse in the care of the elderly and sick
<https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/coronavirus-pflegekraefte-ausland-1.4866124>
due to infections, mass panic and lockdown.
2. In countries such as Italy and Spain, and to some extent Great
Britain and the US, *a serious overload of hospitals, notably by the
flu, is **not unusual*
<https://off-guardian.org/2020/04/02/coronavirus-fact-check-1-flu-doesnt-overwhelm-our-hospitals/>*.
*In addition, up to 15%
<https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-spain-morgue-idUSKBN21B1PP>
of doctors and nurses currently have to self-quarantine, even if
they develop no symptoms.
3. An important distinction concerns the question of whether people die
/with/ or indeed /from/ coronaviruses. Autopsies show
<https://www.abendblatt.de/hamburg/article228828787/rechtsmedizin-pueschel-hamburg-corona-virus-infektion-covid-19-coronavirus-krise-patienten-krankenhaeuser-kliniken-infektionsrate-krankheit-pandemie-test-lungenkrankheit-sars-cov-epidemie-sars-cov-2.html>
that in many cases the previous illnesses were an important or
decisive factor, but the official figures usually do not reflect
<https://swprs.org/rki-relativiert-corona-todesfaelle/> this.
4. Thus in order to assess the danger of the disease, the key indicator
is /not/ the often mentioned number of test-positive persons and
deceased, but the number of persons who actually and unexpectedly
develop or die of pneumonia.
5. The often shown exponential curves of "corona cases" are misleading
<https://multipolar-magazin.de/artikel/coronavirus-regierung-ignoriert-daten>,
since the number of tests also increases exponentially. In most
countries, the ratio of positive tests to total tests either remains
constant between 5% to 15%
<https://twitter.com/FScholkmann/status/1247873259422482434> or
increases only very slowly.
6. *Countries */*without*/*lockdowns and contact bans, such as Japan,
South Korea and **Sweden*
<https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/03/coronavirus-swedish-experiment-could-prove-britain-wrong/>*,
have **not experienced*
<https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/20/national/coronavirus-explosion-expected-japan/>*a
more negative course of events than other countries.* This might
call into question the effectiveness of such far-reaching measures.
7. According to leading lung specialists, invasive ventilation of
Covid19 patients is often counterproductive
<https://www.doccheck.com/de/detail/articles/26271-covid-19-beatmung-und-dann>
and causes additional damage to the lungs. The invasive ventilation
of Covid19 patients is partly done out of fear
<https://archive.is/KX5IQ> of spreading the virus through aerosols.
8. Contrary to original assumptions, however, the WHO determined at the
end of March that there is no evidence
<https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations>
of aerosol dispersal of the virus. A leading German virologist also
found no aerosol and no smear infections
<https://www.zeit.de/wissen/gesundheit/2020-04/hendrik-streeck-covid-19-heinsberg-symptome-infektionsschutz-massnahmen-studie/komplettansicht>
in a pilot study.
9. Many clinics in Europe and the US have been lacking patients
<https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/trotz-corona-pandemie-warum-kliniken-jetzt-kurzarbeit-anmelden-a-3dc61bc9-fb12-4298-8022-bb4c2be39d7d>
and some have had to introduce short-time work
<https://www.20min.ch/schweiz/news/story/Spitaeler-28949526>.
Numerous operations and therapies were cancelled by clinics, even
emergency patients sometimes stay at home
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KucqjgM0P1E> out of fear of the virus.
10. *Several media have been **caught*
<https://nypost.com/2020/04/01/cbs-admits-to-using-footage-from-italy-in-report-about-nyc/>*trying
to dramatize the situation in clinics, sometimes even with
manipulative pictures and videos.* In general, many media outlets do
not question <https://swprs.org/corona-media-propaganda/> even
doubtful official statements and figures.
11. The virus test kits used internationally are prone to errors
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32219885>. Several studies have
shown that even normal corona viruses can give a false positive
result <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2095096/>.
Moreover, the virus test currently in use has not been clinically
validated <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_AyuhbnPOI> due to time
pressure.
12. Numerous internationally renowned experts
<https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/24/12-experts-questioning-the-coronavirus-panic/>
from the fields of virology, immunology and epidemiology consider
the measures taken to be counterproductive
<https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/28/10-more-experts-criticising-the-coronavirus-panic/>
and recommend a rapid natural immunisation
<https://off-guardian.org/2020/04/08/watch-perspectives-on-the-pandemic-2/>
of the general population while protecting risk groups.
13. The number of people suffering from unemployment, psychological
problems
<https://twitter.com/JesseKellyDC/status/1246449878219145216> and
domestic violence as a result of the measures taken has exploded
<https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-layoffs/us-weekly-jobless-claims-seen-at-record-high-again-idUSKBN21K0FX>
in the US and worldwide. *Several experts believe that the measures
may claim **more lives*
<https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/opinion/coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing.html>*than
the virus itself.*
14. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden warned that
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pcQFTzck_c> the corona crisis is
used for the massive and permanent expansion of global surveillance.
The renowned virologist Pablo Goldschmidt spoke of
<https://www.rubikon.news/artikel/der-corona-totalitarismus> a
"global media terror" and "totalitarian measures". Leading British
virologist Professor John Oxford spoke of
<https://novuscomms.com/2020/03/31/a-view-from-the-hvivo-open-orphan-orph-laboratory-professor-john-oxford/>
a "media epidemic".

Below you will find regular, but not daily, updates on medical and
political developments.
April 12, 2020 *
New studies*
* Stanford professor of medicine John Ioannidis concludes in a new
study
<https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.05.20054361v1> that
the risk of death from Covid19 for people under 65 years of age,
even in global "hotspots", *is equivalent to the risk of a fatal car
accident for daily commuters driving between 9 and 400 miles.*
* In a serological pilot study
<https://www.land.nrw/sites/default/files/asset/document/zwischenergebnis_covid19_case_study_gangelt_0.pdf>,
the German virologist Hendrick Streeck comes to the interim result
that the lethality of Covid19 is at 0.37% and the mortality (based
on the total population) at 0.06%. *These values are about ten times
lower than those of the WHO and about five times lower than those of
Johns Hopkins University.*
* A Danish study with 1500 blood donors found that the lethality of
Covid19 is only 1.6 per thousand
<https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/doedelighed-skal-formentlig-taelles-i-promiller-danske-blodproever-kaster-nyt-lys>,
i.e. more than 20 times lower than originally assumed by the WHO and
thus in the range of a strong (pandemic) influenza. At the same time
Denmark has decided
<https://www.thelocal.dk/20200406/denmark-to-reopen-schools-and-kindergartens-next-week>
to reopen schools and kindergartens next week.
* A serological study in the US state of Colorado comes to the
preliminary conclusion
<https://reason.com/2020/04/08/mass-antibody-testing-in-this-rural-colorado-county-sheds-light-on-covid-19s-prevalence-and-lethality/>
that the lethality of Covid19 has been overestimated by a factor of
5 to a factor of 20 and is likely to be in the range between normal
and pandemic influenza.
* A study conducted by the Medical University of Vienna concluded that
*the age and risk profile of Covid19 deaths is **similar to normal
mortality*
<https://www.vienna.at/analyse-zeigt-covid-19-opferkurve-entspricht-normaler-mortalitaet/6581246>*.*
* A study in the /Journal of Medical Virology/ concludes that the
internationally used coronavirus test is unreliable
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32219885>: In addition to the
already known problem of false positive results, there is also a
"potentially high" rate of false negative results, i.e. the test
does not respond even in symptomatic individuals, while in other
patients it does respond once and then again not. This makes it more
difficult to exclude other flu-like illnesses.
* A Swiss biophysicist has for the first time evaluated and
graphically displayed
<https://twitter.com/FScholkmann/status/1247873259422482434> the
rate of positive tests in the US, Germany and Switzerland. *The
result shows that the positive rate in these countries is increasing
only slightly and not exponentially.*
* Dr. Daniel Jeanmonod, emeritus Swiss professor of physiology and
neurosurgery, recommends in an analysis: "Think deep, do good
science, and do not panic!
<https://off-guardian.org/2020/04/07/think-deep-do-good-science-and-do-not-panic/>"
* US researchers conclude that local air pollution greatly increases
<https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.05.20054502v1> the
risk of death from Covid19. This confirms earlier studies from Italy
and China.
* The WHO concluded at the end of March that, contrary to earlier
assumptions, Covid19 is not transmitted by aerosols
<https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations>
("through the air"). Transmission mainly takes place through direct
contact or by droplet infection (coughing, sneezing).
* The German-American epidemiology professor Knut Wittkowski argues in
a new interview <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARTf4bpiXuI> that
the Covid19 epidemic is already declining or even "already over" in
many countries. *The curfews had come too late and had been
counterproductive,* Wittkowski argues.
*European Mortality Monitoring*
European mortality monitoring
<https://www.euromomo.eu/outputs/zscore_country_total.html> now shows a
clear projected excess mortality in the over-65 age group in several
European countries. In some countries, however, including Germany and
Austria, mortality in this age group is still in the normal range (or
even below).
*The question remains open as to whether the partially increased
mortality is due to the coronavirus alone or also due to the sometimes
drastic measures taken (e.g. isolation, stress, cancelled operations,
etc.)*, and whether mortality will still be increased in the annual view.
Among the age groups under 65 years, so far only in England there is a
projected increase in mortality beyond earlier waves of influenza. The
median age of test-positive deceased is 80 in Italy, 83 in Germany and
84 in Switzerland.
*Switzerland*
* According to the latest report
<https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/de/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-epidemien-pandemien/aktuelle-ausbrueche-epidemien/novel-cov/situation-schweiz-und-international.html>
of the Federal Office of Public Health, the median age of
test-positive deceased is now 84 years. The number of hospitalised
patients remains constant.
* A study by ETH Zurich found that
<https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/ansteckungsraten-flachten-bereits-vor-dem-lockdown-ab-809893127675>
the infection rate in Switzerland fell to a stable value of 1
/several days before/the "lockdown", presumably due to general
hygiene and everyday measures. If this result is correct, it would
fundamentally question the sense of a "lockdown". (About the study
<https://bsse.ethz.ch/cevo/research/sars-cov-2/real-time-monitoring-in-switzerland.html>)
* The Swiss magazine /Infosperber/ criticizes the information policy
of authorities and the media: "Instead of informing, authorities
conduct a PR campaign
<https://www.infosperber.ch/Artikel/Gesundheit/Corona-Statt-zu-informieren-fuhren-Behorden-eine-PR-Kampagne>".
Misleading figures and graphics are used to spread at least partly
unjustified fear.
* The Swiss consumer protection magazine /Ktipp/ also criticises the
information policy and media reporting: "Authorities provide
misleading information
<https://www.ktipp.ch/artikel/artikeldetail/behoerden-informieren-irrefuehrend/>".
* A Swiss researcher has analysed the latest Covid19 report of the
Federal Office of Public Health and comes to a very critical
conclusion
<https://covid-19-fakten.blogspot.com/2020/04/die-analyse-des-aktuellen.html>:
the report is "scientifically unbalanced, patronising and
misleading". *In consideration of the facts, the measures taken by
authorities are "irresponsible and inducing fear".*
* In an open letter to the Swiss Minister of Health
<https://www.rontalpraxis.ch/aktuelles>, Swiss doctors speak of a
"discrepancy between the threat scenario, which has been fuelled
above all by the media, and our reality. *The Covid19 cases observed
in the general population were few and mostly mild, but "anxiety
disorders and panic attacks" are on the increase in the population
and many patients no longer dare to come to important examination
appointments.* "And this in connection with a virus whose
dangerousness, according to our perception, exists in Switzerland
only in the media and in our heads."
* Due to the very low patient workload, several clinics in Switzerland
<https://www.20min.ch/schweiz/news/story/Spitaeler-28949526> and
Germany
<https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/trotz-corona-pandemie-warum-kliniken-jetzt-kurzarbeit-anmelden-a-3dc61bc9-fb12-4298-8022-bb4c2be39d7d>
have now had to announce short-time work. The decrease in patients
is up to 80%.
* The Swiss physician Dr. Paul Robert Vogt has written a highly shared
article
<https://www.mittellaendische.ch/2020/04/07/covid-19-eine-zwischenbilanz-oder-eine-analyse-der-moral-der-medizinischen-fakten-sowie-der-aktuellen-und-zuk%C3%BCnftigen-politischen-entscheidungen/>
on Covid19. He criticizes a "sensationalistic press", but also warns
that this is not an "ordinary flu". However, the physician is wrong
in some points: *lethality rate and median age are very much key
variables, differentiation between with/by coronavirus is essential,
respiratory masks and respirators are unsuitable in many cases (see
below), and curfews are a questionable and possibly
counterproductive measure.*
*Germany and Austria*
* In a new paper, German health experts criticise the crisis policy
<https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/ndr-wdr/corona-experten-thesenpapier-101.html>
of the Federal Government. They speak of long-term damage to the
population caused by the partial shutdown. The figures published by
the RKI were "only of limited significance".
* In a statement, the Federal Association of German Pathologists
demands that
<https://www.pathologie-dgp.de/die-dgp/aktuelles/meldung/pressemitteilung-an-corona-verstorbene-sollten-obduziert-werden/>
there must be autopsies of "corona deaths" (in order to determine
the true cause of death) and thus explicitly contradicts "the
recommendation of the Robert Koch Institute", which spoke out
against autopsies, allegedly because they were too dangerous.
* Dr. Martin Sprenger resigned his position
<https://mailchi.mp/addendum/fles-home-office-260342> in the Corona
Expert Council of the Austrian Ministry of Health in order to
"regain his civil and scientific freedom of opinion". Dr. Sprenger
previously criticized, among other things, that the government did
not sufficiently differentiate the risk of the virus for different
population groups and took too sweeping measures
<https://www.addendum.org/coronavirus/interview-sprenger/>: *"We
must be careful that the loss of healthy life years due to
inadequate care for other acute and chronic diseases is not a factor
of 10 times higher than the loss of healthy life years caused by
COVID-19".*
* In a German nursing home, an 84-year-old man tested positive for
Covid19, after which the entire home was quarantined and mass tests
were conducted. The initial test result later turned out to be false
<https://www.schwerin.de/news/4a3e5560-78c9-11ea-b543-1967de695b51/>,
however.
*Scandinavia*
* The Norwegian Medical Association writes in an open letter to the
Minister of Health that they are concerned that the measures taken
could be more dangerous than the virus
<https://www.abcnyheter.no/helse-og-livsstil/helse/2020/04/06/195667780/nesten-halvparten-av-sengene-pa-oslo-universitetssykehus-star-tomme>,
*as normal patients are no longer being examined and treated.*
* A Swedish author explains in the British /Spectator/
<https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/no-lockdown-please-w-re-swedish>:
"It is not Sweden that is conducting a mass experiment. It is all
other countries that are doing it."
* Professor Ansgar Lohse, Director at the Hamburg University Hospital,
explains in an interview
<https://www.abendblatt.de/hamburg/article228880917/uke-professor-shutdown-lohse-deutschland-hamburg-corona-virus-infektion-covid-19-impfstoff-coronavirus-krise-patienten-immunitaet-krankenhaeuser-kontaktverbot-kliniken-infektionsrate.html>:
"In my opinion, the Swedish measures are the most rational in the
world. Of course, the question arises whether this can be kept up
psychologically. Initially, the Swedes have to reckon with
significantly more deaths, but in the medium to long term these will
then be significantly reduced. The bill will be paid in a year - if
the Swedes can hold out. Unfortunately, the fear of the virus often
forces politicians to take actions that are not necessarily
reasonable. Politics is driven also by the images in the media."
* According to Swedish chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, Stockholm
may now have reached a "plateau" with regard to Covid infections.
(More news about Sweden
<https://www.thelocal.se/20200310/timeline-how-the-coronavirus-has-developed-in-sweden>)
*US and Asia*
* In the US, the authorities now also recommend
<https://nypost.com/2020/04/07/feds-classify-all-coronavirus-patient-deaths-as-covid-19-deaths/?link=TD_mansionglobal_new_mansion_global.11147f181987fd93>
that all test-positive deaths and even suspect cases /without/ a
positive test result be registered as "Covid deaths". *An American
physician and state senator from Minnesota **declared that*
<https://www.valleynewslive.com/content/misc/Sen-Dr-Jensens-Shocking-Admission-About-Coronavirus-569458361.html>*this
was tantamount to manipulation. Furthermore, there would be
financial incentives for hospitals to declare patients as Covid19
patients.* (Some humour
<https://swprs.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/cv-2019-2020.jpg> on this
topic).
* A Covid19 field hospital near Seattle in Washington State was closed
after only three days without admitting any patients
<https://www.yahoo.com/news/armys-seattle-field-hospital-closes-165646379.html>.
This is reminiscent of the hospitals built at short notice near
Wuhan, which were also mostly under-utilized or even empty and were
then dismantled
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/12/what-chinas-empty-new-coronavirus-hospitals-say-about-its-secretive-system>
after a short time.
* Numerous media reported on alleged "corona mass graves" on Hart
Island near New York. *These reports are misleading in two respects:
firstly, Hart Island has long been one of the best-known
"**cemeteries of the poor**" in the US, and secondly the mayor of
New York **declared*
<https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/new-york-coronavirus-cases-burials-bodies-covid-19-hart-island-a9459956.html>*that
no mass graves are planned, but that "unclaimed" deceased (i.e.
without relatives) are to be buried on Hart Island.*
* One of the leading Indian epidemiologists said that "We cannot run
away to the moon
<https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/we-cannot-run-away-to-the-moon-need-to-develop-herd-immunity-dr-muliyil-120040601232_1.html>".
He recommends the rapid development of a natural immunity in the
population.
*Northern Italy*
Regarding northern Italy, several potential risk factors have recently
been discussed.
It is true that two major vaccination campaigns against influenza
<https://www.bergamonews.it/2019/10/21/vaccinazione-antinfluenzale-a-bergamo-ordinate-185-000-dosi-di-vaccino/332164/>
and meningococcus
<https://www.bsnews.it/2020/01/18/meningite-vaccinate-34mila-persone-tra-brescia-e-bergamo/>
were carried out in Lombardy in the months immediately preceding the
outbreak of Covid19, notably in the later hotspots of Bergamo and
Brescia. *Although it is */*theoretically possible*/*that such
vaccinations could interact with coronavirus infections, such a
possibility has not been established at present.*
It is also true that a high asbestos exposure
<https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/asbest-prozess-in-italien-nun-sind-alle-krank-a-666421.html>
was present in northern Italy in the past, which increases the risk of
/cancerous/ lung disease. But here again, there is no /direct
connection/ with Covid19.
Nevertheless, in general it is true that the lung health of the
population in northern Italy has been affected for a long time by high
levels of air pollution
<https://twitter.com/esa/status/1238480433047916545> and other
detrimental factors, making it particularly susceptible
<https://www.thelocal.it/20170131/our-lungs-are-breaking-smog-levels-way-above-safe-limits-in-northern-italy>
to respiratory diseases.

*
Swiss chief physician Pietro Vernazza*
The Swiss chief physician of Infectiology, Professor Pietro Vernazza,
has published four new articles on studies concerning Covid19.
* The first article
<https://infekt.ch/2020/04/schulen-schliessen-hilfreich-oder-nicht/>
is about the fact that *there has never been medical evidence for
the efficacy of* *school closures*, as children in general do not
develop the Covid disease nor are they among the vectors of the
virus (unlike with influenza).
* The second article
<https://infekt.ch/2020/04/atemschutzmasken-fuer-alle-medienhype-oder-unverzichtbar/>
is about the fact that *respiratory masks* generally have no
detectable effect, with one exception: sick people /with symptoms/
(notably coughing) can reduce the spread of the virus. *Otherwise
the masks are rather symbolic or a "media hype".*
* The third article
<https://infekt.ch/2020/04/corona-testen-testen-und-kein-ende/>
deals with the question of *mass testing*. The conclusion of
Professor Vernazza: "Anyone who has symptoms of a respiratory
disease stays at home. The same applies to the flu. There is no
added value in testing."
* The fourth article
<https://infekt.ch/2020/03/immunschwaeche-und-schwangerschaft-kein-covid-19-risikofaktor/>
deals with the Covid19 *risk groups*. According to current
knowledge, these include people with high blood pressure - it is
suspected that the Covid19 virus uses cell receptors that are also
responsible for regulating blood pressure. However, surprisingly,
people with immunodeficiency and pregnant women (who naturally have
a reduced immune system) are not at risk. *On the contrary, the risk
of Covid19 is often an */*overreaction*/*of the immune system.*
*Intensive vs. palliative care*
A German palliative physician explains in an interview
<https://www.ruhr24.de/ruhrgebiet/coronavirus-behandlung-intensivstation-nrw-lungenentzuendung-matthias-thoens-witten-zr-13645038.html>
that Covid19 is "not an intensive care disease", as the severely
affected people are typically people of old age who have multiple
pre-existing conditions. When these people get pneumonia, they "have
always been given palliative care (i.e. accompanying death)". *With a
Covid19 diagnosis, however, this would now become an intensive care
case, but "of course the patients still cannot be saved".*
The expert describes the current actions of many decision-makers as
"panic mode". At present, intensive care beds in Germany are still
relatively empty. Respirators are free. For financial reasons, hospital
managers may soon come up with the idea of admitting elderly people.
*"In 14 days, the wards will be full of unsalvageable, multi morbid old
people. And once they are on the machines, the question arises as to who
will switch them off again, as that would be a homicide." An "ethical
catastrophe" from greed may ensue, warns the physician.*
*Ventilation with Covid19*
There has been and still is a worldwide rush for ventilators for Covid19
patients. This site was one of the first in the world to draw attention
to the fact that invasive ventilation (intubation) may be
counterproductive in many cases and may cause additional harm to patients.
Invasive ventilation was originally recommended because low oxygen
levels led to the false conclusion of acute respiratory (lung) failure,
and there was a fear that with more gentle, non-invasive techniques the
virus could spread through aerosols.
In the meantime, several leading pulmonologists and intensive care
physicians from the US and Europe have spoken out against invasive
ventilation and recommend more gentle methods or indeed oxygen therapy,
as already successfully used by South Korea.

against authorities.
* In Germany, an attorney in medical law has filed a constitutional
complaint against the Corona measures and published an open letter
on the subject, in which she warns against slipping into a police
state and called for demonstrations. *The public prosecutor's office

website was temporarily shut down. The constitutional complaint has
since been rejected.*
* In Austria, too, several lawyers have now lodged complaints
<https://wien.orf.at/stories/3043172/> against the Corona measures
with the Constitutional Court. The lawyers argue that fundamental
rights and separation of powers have been violated by the measures.

From South America, where payment must be made with subtlety, the Bormann
organization has made a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of the
brightest Jewish businessmen into a participatory role in the development of
many of its corporations, and many of these Jews share their prosperity most
generously with Israel. If their proposals are sound, they are even provided
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund. I spoke with one Jewish
businessmen in Hartford, Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown
several years before our conversation, but with Bormann money as his leverage.
Today he is more than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the community with a
certain share of his profits earmarked as always for his venture capital
benefactors. This has taken place in many other instances across America and
demonstrates how Bormann’s people operate in the contemporary commercial world,
in contrast to the fanciful nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much
“literature.”
So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish participation in Bormann companies
that when Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv to stand trial, it
produced a shock wave in the Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires.
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities in no uncertain terms that this
must never happen again because a repetition would permanently rupture
relations with the Germans of Latin America, as well as with the Bormann
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish money to Israel. It never happened
again, and the pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of these Jewish
leaders. He is residing in an Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most
efficient German infrastructure in history as well as by all those whose
prosperity depends on his well-being.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
