PROJECT VERITAS UNDERCOVER VIDEO SHOWS Funeral Directors in COVID-19 Epicenter Doubt Legitimacy of Deaths Attributed to Pandemic


Project Veritas spoke to several funeral directors in New York who are doubting the legitimacy of COVID-19 labeled death certificates. 
“To be honest with you, all the death certificates, they’re writing COVID on all the death certificates whether they had a positive test, whether they didn’t, so I think, you know again this is my personal opinion, I think like the Mayor (Bill de Blasio) in our city (NYC), they’re looking for federal funding and, the more they put COVID on the death certificate the more they can ask for federal funds,” Funeral Director, Colonial Home Michael Lanza said. “So I think it’s political.” 
Another funeral director in Queens, NY told Project Veritas that she had one victim autopsied because the sister was furious because she “knew” her sister didn’t die from the Coronavirus. 
This victim is related to a Supreme Court Justice, but the funeral director did not disclose which justice. The angry woman said her sister had Alzheimer’s and they didn’t suction her. 
“You have to suction her because they forget how to swallow. And um right away they put down COVID-19 on her death certificate and the Supreme Court Justice whoever it is contacted the hospital, they did an independent autopsy, Bingo, no COVID-19,” said President of Dimiceli & Sons Funeral Home, Josephine Dimiceli.
The only question I have is, how would the Funeral Director know if there had been a test for COVID-19 or not?

I don't think they would. Unless, perhaps, they asked the family. They might do that in a conversational way, if they were particularly interested.

Certainly, the Funeral Directors would have a little bit more information on types of deaths occurring in an area than would the average citizen.

Elon Musk: Free America NOW!


Musk on Twitter this week criticized lockdown measures put in place in the United States to slow the spread of COVID-19, demanding in one, "FREE AMERICA NOW." He applauded Texas for its plan to begin reopening the state's economy, and said the U.S. should "reopen with care and appropriate protection, but don't put everyone under de facto house arrest." 
Musk also replied to a user who claimed the "scariest thing" about the pandemic isn't the coronavirus but seeing Americans willing to give up freedom, to which the Tesla CEO responded, "true."

BREAKING: Former FBI General Counsel James Baker Has Flipped! Durham is Building Conspiracy Case on All of Those Who Lied to the Court!

Former US Attorney was on with Howie Carr again this week and he dropped some more bombshells about the current investigation of the investigators involved in removing President Trump and his team from office. diGenova discussed the Durham investigation and said at the 5:30 mark that Durham is building a conspiracy case and anyone who lied to the court will be indicted for obstruction of justice charges: 
The bottom line is this, it’s unfolding and what’s happening is, what Durham is actually doing is he’s painting a picture and not everyone of these acts is going to be a specific separate crime. But they are going to be, what’s called overt acts in a conspiracy. One to defraud the United States government. One to deny the civil rights of Trump and Flynn and Page and a bunch of other people. 
diGenova: You know Baker is now working with Durham. James Baker the former General Counsel. 
Carr: He’s flipped? 
diGenova: Who was a target, is now understandably cooperating because he was looking at a boat load of criminal charges. Once these notes were discovered, and by the way, these were the notes that [FBI Director] Chris Wray and Dana Boente did not want turned over.

Woman Who Fed Her Husband a Deadly Dose of Aquarium Cleaner (Under the Guise It Had Chloroquine In It) Is Now Under Investigation, For Murder

Arizona police are now conducting a homicide investigation into the woman who claimed she gave her husband fish tank cleaner after hearing President Trump talk about the possibility of using the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus. ... "As this is an active investigation, I cannot go into any details at this time regarding the case," homicide detective Teresa Van Galder told the Free Beacon.

MEDIA LIED, PEOPLE DIED: Italian Study Finds INCREDIBLE Prophylaxis Results for Patients on Hydroxychloroquine

The media has been on a jihad against the drug since President Trump first announced its amazing ability to treat coronavirus patients. 
Last week the liberal media went as far as to report on a shoddy UVA study that founds no benefit from the drug. 
Dr. Stephen Smith told “The Ingraham Angle” Monday night that a study published last week indicating the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine showed no benefit for coronavirus patients in U.S. veterans hospitals was a “sham.” 
And now a new study from hard-hit Italy found that those Italians on hydroxychloroquine for Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis did not come down with the coronavirus. 
Only 20 patients tested positive for COVID-19. No ICU, and NO ONE DIED! Despite comorbidities the patients on hydroxychloroquine did not succumb to coronavirus!

COVID-19 Turning Out To Be Huge Hoax Perpetrated By Media


COVID-19 Turning Out To Be Huge Hoax Perpetrated By Media

When the postmortem is done on the media’s coverage of COVID-19 (and it will be), it will be clear that the virus was no Black Plague — it’s not even the flu on a bad year. SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has killed 56,749 Americans as of Tuesday. Advertisement - story continues below 
That’s not good. But it’s not as bad as the 2017-2018 flu season, when 80,000 -plus perished. 
And it’s a long cry from what all the experts were warning about just a few weeks ago: 
First, they predicted 1.7 million Americans dead; then they redid the models (this time apparently entering a few more “facts”) and said 100,000-240,000 dead. 
Now, a major model relied on by the White House Coronavirus Task Force predicts about 70,000 dead by the end of August. 
And for that we shut down the U.S. economy?!

CNN Writer Blames the Bible for Climate Change in Nihilistic Letter to His Son

Over the weekend, CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir wrote an open letter to his newborn son apologizing for destroying the earth, telling him there’s no meaning in the universe, and blaming the Bible for casting a “spell” that led humans to pollute the earth and destroy it. 
Weir is struggling to provide an ounce of that meaning and heritage, and coming up empty on every level. The best he can do is condemn every single religious, ethnic, and national tradition by reducing them to “stories we tell ourselves” as humans, and warn his son about the dangerous Bible story that led humans to destroy the planet — or save it at a tremendous cost. While the most scandalous part of Weir’s letter comes when he blames the Bible for inspiring the recklessness allegedly responsible for climate change, the nut and kernel of his nihilistic philosophy comes in this paragraph: 
"Along the way, EVERYTHING in our man-made world — flags and borders, money and markets, laws and religions — all of it came from the stories we tell ourselves. Some are older than others. They vary by time and place. And all of them are under constant revision." 
There is a superficial plausibility to this argument. After all, the basis of most modern currency is fiat — trust — not gold. Borders are often selectively enforced. Flags change, and so do laws. But law is based on the universal human belief in morality, which is often linked to the mystery of religion. Both morality and religion are far more than mere stories. 
Weir has cut himself off from these “stories,” claiming instead a story he suggests is more real: the devastating threat of climate change. 
“The American Way of Life that I grew up with is already gone. The Goldilocks climate that allowed humanity to thrive is in the past. And nobody seems to know it yet,” Weir writes. 
His story has heroes and villains, but the story can only end in tragedy. “If we follow the warnings of science and do everything possible to spare your generation maximum pain, it will mean completely new forms of power, food, construction, transportation, economics and politics. It will mean landscapes covered in solar panels, windmills and carbon capture plantations and the kind of intimate relationship with our land and water that went the way of the hunter/gatherer,” the CNN climate correspondent predicts. 
“And if we do nothing? It will mean the end of predictable growing seasons, flight schedules and supply chains, resource wars and tens of millions of climate refugees changing everything we know about borders, neighbors and strangers,” he adds. 
By his lights, he has condemned his son to a life of climate dystopia or harsh mitigation. 
“There’s no telling which side will prevail so it’s no wonder some believe that bringing you aboard this sinking ship was selfish, immoral and hypocritical,” he writes to his son. “But if we give up on our most primal job we have as humans, haven’t we already lost?” 
Ironically, the Bible also describes reproduction as the original “job” of human beings, in Genesis 1:28 — the very verse that Weir condemns for its role in fostering the reckless burning of fossil fuels that allegedly produces climate change. 
Linking the coronavirus and climate change, Weir writes, “See, for decades, scientists told us that if we weren’t careful, humans would unleash an invisible enemy out of the jungle and into our lungs. But that was a story few wanted to believe. As you get older, this will be hard to understand. But we were under the spell of Genesis 1:28: to take dominion over every living thing. We had the strange urge to carve straight lines out of nature’s curves and were under the spell of a uniquely human force called ‘profit motive.'” 
Weir’s decision to single out Genesis 1:28 for condemnation is interesting, especially given his view of reproduction. Here’s the passage: 
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Genesis 1:28).

US to recognise Israel annexation of West Bank, Jordan Valley


US to recognise Israel annexation of West Bank, Jordan Valley
The United States said it was ready to recognise Israel's annexation of much of the occupied West Bank, but asked the new unity government also to negotiate with the Palestinians. 
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has reached a power-sharing deal to remain in office after three inconclusive elections, has vowed to press ahead with annexations that the Palestinians say will shut the door on a two-state solution. 
A Middle East "vision" unveiled in January by US President Donald Trump gave a green light to annexations. Netanyahu's coalition deal with centrist Benny Gantz agreed the cabinet would consult Washington before moving forward. 
But Palestinians have expressed outrage at Israel's plans to cement its hold further on land it seized in the 1967 war, territory they are seeking for a future state. The European Union has also criticised Trump's plan as failing to achieve a two-state solution. Pompeo says annexation is Israel's decision (2:38) 
"As we have made consistently clear, we are prepared to recognise Israeli actions to extend Israeli sovereignty and the application of Israeli law to areas of the West Bank that the vision foresees as being part of the State of Israel," a US State Department spokesperson said on Monday. 
The step would be "in the context of the Government of Israel agreeing to negotiate with the Palestinians along the lines set forth in President Trump's Vision," she said.

NOT AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS: Board of Supervisors, Orange County, California Votes Unanimously To Re-Open Business


ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - The Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted 5-0 Tuesday afternoon on guidelines required to reopen businesses to ensure the safety of the public. The guidelines set by Chairwoman Michelle Steel and Supervisor Don Wagner were approved by the board will act as a model for Orange County to transition back to a normal state of activity, officials said. 
According to the board, "All the recommendations follow the Orange County Health Care Agency and do not supersede any conflicting or more restrictive orders issued by local governments, the State of California, or the Federal Government."
If it doesn't conflict with more restrictive guidelines put out by Governor Gavin Newsom then this vote wasn't worth shit.

Governor Newsom is a Junior Dictator, a wannabe Fidel Castro.

Our Dress Rehearsal For a Police State

"Police state" does not mean totalitarian state. America is not a totalitarian state; we still have many freedoms. In a totalitarian state, this article could not be legally published, and if it were illegally published, I would be imprisoned and/or executed. But we are presently living with all four of the key hallmarks of a police state: 
No. 1: Draconian laws depriving citizens of elementary civil rights. The federal, state, county and city governments are now restricting almost every freedom except those of travel and speech. Americans have been banned from going to work (and thereby earning a living), meeting in groups (both indoors and outdoors), meeting in their cars in church parking lots to pray and entering state-owned properties such as beaches and parks -- among many other prohibitions. 
No. 2: A mass media supportive of the state's messaging and deprivation of rights.
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

I really think this guy nailed it better:

ZERO TO SHARIA IS JUST 2 MONTHS
After years of fighting the left’s attempt to impose The Sustainable Organic Church Of The Carbon Apocalypse as America’s official state religion, I really didn’t expect an upstart religion to go from zero to Sharia in just two months, but here we are. How’s everyone enjoying the mandatory religious codes under our new state religion that just showed up from Wuhan? 
Social distancing went from “keep a safe distance” to “remain behind closed doors at all times” in about the same time that Fat Tuesday gives way to Lent. And this sure is feeling like Lent in that you must sacrifice pleasures to be an obedient adherent. But unlike Christianity’s Lenten season, where there is no police force nor elected official commanding you to be properly observant, our new state religion will not tolerate anyone being deficiently pious. 
There are many parallels that can be drawn between the required Covid observances and traditional religious practices, but the two that stand out the most are Masks and Shutter-At-Home. 
Masks = Veils. Don’t misunderstand, if I’m in a fairly crowded store I’ll wear a mask (at least for now) to assure frightened co-shoppers that I’m not going to spread germs on them. And if I were on a plane or in a nursing home, I would certainly wear one just in case I’m an asymptomatic carrier. But the zealotry over masking is long past any health or safety concern. It’s become a public showing of obedience to the rules handed down by our ruling clerisy. A person riding his bike, alone, without wearing a mask is at risk of a public shaming from way too many Americans right now. He is not posing a risk to anyone, but neither is he publicly displaying obedience to the faith. And that will not be tolerated these days. 
Shutter At Home = Observing The Sabbath. The high priests of our new religion are ordering police to arrest lone surfers, or dads playing catch with their kids at a park, or couples launching a canoe, etc. Their motivation has nothing to do with preventing the spread of disease. Zero. It is about regulating unapproved pleasure-seeking during a time when piety behind closed doors has been decreed mandatory. If you’re not miserable and pent up behind locked doors, you are a sinner. 
And then there are the Church Ladies of our new state religion - the whole Karen meme is about these suddenly empowered secular Church Ladies who live for moments like this. Normally their only joy in life is scolding people for simple sins such as not using canvas grocery bags or perhaps driving a large SUV. Now these humorless vigilantes feel they are deputized to enforce the observance of the shutter-at-home sabbath. A sabbath that goes on day after day, week after week, without any end in sight. Karen could not be happier. It is a near certainty that lockdown-induced chastity being imposed on millions of people is a thought that warms the icy heart of these charmless people. (And yes, there are male Church Ladies. We most commonly refer to them as “journalists") 
So go out and live in a manner that that is safe and makes you feel comfortable. But above all else – enjoy life. Publicly and proudly.

INSANITY: Hong Kong’s 8 Million Continue Their Economic Shutdown Into the 4th Month – After 4 Coronavirus Deaths in 4 Months

Coronavirus Reality Check


From First Things:
On March 16, Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London predicted a coronavirus death toll of more than two million in the United States alone. He arrived at this number by assuming that infection would be nearly universal and the fatality rate would be high—a terrifying prospect. The next day, Stanford epidemiologist John Ioannidis sifted through the data and predicted less widespread infection and a fatality rate of between 0.05 and 1.0 percent—not that different from the common flu. 
The coronavirus is not the common flu. It has different characteristics, afflicting the old more than the young, men more than women. Nevertheless, all data trends since mid-March show that Ferguson was fantastically wrong and Ioannidis was largely right about its mortal threat. 
But Ferguson’s narrative has triumphed, helped by our incontinent and irresponsible media. A young doctor in Wuhan died—COVID-19 must be dangerous and deadly for everybody. Hospitals in Italy are overwhelmed—we are witnessing a pandemic of epic proportions. China succeeded with draconian methods of mass quarantine—these must be our only hope of protection against the coming disaster. 
By the end of March, most of the United States had been locked down. Tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs. More than $6 trillion has been spent to save society from complete collapse. Relentless warnings have whipped the populace into frenzies of fear. All of this to contain a disease that, as far as we can tell at this point, is not significantly more fatal than the flu.

“People Are Dying!… I Believe This Is About Money!” – Nevada Doctors Sue Democrat Governor Over Hydroxychloroquine Ban

Advertisement - story continues below But there’s more… If you read the governor’s order he also prevented senior citizens from using chloroquine as a prophylactic to ward off the disease.
Now Nevada doctors are suing the Democrat governor for the right to prescribe hydroxychloroquine on their patients.

His attorney Joey Gilbert then told Laura, 
“People are dying. People are dying. If this is not used in a therapeutic use window which is a sensitive time period, each and every case is different. It depends on who you are. You know, 90% of population, maybe 80-85% are going to be fine. But it’s that 15% of high risk that are going to die… I believe this is about money. I believe this is about panic and creating a whole swath of problems for America.”

‘Wow, What Is That?’ Pentagon Formally Releases Three UFO Videos



‘Wow, What Is That?’ Pentagon Formally Releases Three UFO Videos
The Pentagon on Monday approved the release of three "unidentified aerial phenomena" videos taken over the years by U.S. Navy aviators. All three had been, shall we say, informally available on the internet, but now viewers can see them with the military's stamp of approval. 
Defense Department spokesperson Sue Gough said, "After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena." 
Gough explained, "DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos." 
And then my favorite part from her statement: "The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as 'unidentified.'"

Why Is FDA Playing Politics with New Warnings on Hydroxychloroquine? Why Would they Put American Lives in Danger?


Hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades as a prophylactic treatment against malaria for adults and children. It has been widely accepted as a safe way to prevent the disease for adults and children.
Hydroxychloroquine does not raise alarm with the CDC as a Malaria treatment. It can people taken by adults and children. The only people who are warned away from it are people with Psoriasis.


Here's what the CDC screenshot above says, if you are having trouble reading it:
What is hydroxychloroquine? 
Hydroxychloroquine (also known as hydroxychloroquine sulfate) is an arthritis medicine that also can be used to prevent malaria. It is available in the United States by prescription only. It is sold under the brand name Plaquenil and it is also sold as a generic medicine. It is available in tablets of 155mg base (200mg salt). You should know that the 155mg base tablet is the same as the 200mg salt tablet. It is just two different ways of describing the same thing. Hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed for either prevention or treatment of malaria. 
This fact sheet provides information about its use for the prevention of malaria infection associated with travel. 
Who can take hydroxychloroquine? 
Hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed to adults and children of all ages. It can also be safely taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers. 
Who should not take hydroxychloroquine? 
People with psoriasis should not take hydroxychloroquine. 
How should I take hydroxychloroquine? 
Both adults and children should take one dose of hydroxychloroquine per week starting at least 1 week before traveling to the area where malaria transmission occurs. They should take one dose per week while there, and for 4 consecutive weeks after leaving. The weekly dosage for adults is 310mg base (400mg salt).
Ever since President Trump mentioned the highly successful studies of hydroxychloroquine treatments on coronavirus patients the media has downplayed and miracle drug. The far left Washington Post led the charge early. Attorney General Bill Barr appropriately called the media reaction a jihad to discredit hdroxychloroquine. 
There have now been several studies touting the use of hydroxychloroquine and antibiotics in treating coronavirus. But on Friday the FDA folded to pressure led by the liberal press and warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine. 
It was a completely political move and will undoubtedly lead to several deaths. How else can you explain this move? 
The FDA is so politicized today that the leaders would rather see Americans die than tell the liberal horde to back off.

The Bearer of Good Coronavirus News


Stanford scientist John Ioannidis finds himself under attack for questioning the prevailing wisdom about lockdowns.
"Dr. Ioannidis estimated that the U.S. fatality rate could be as low as 0.025% to 0.625% and put the upper bound at 0.05% to 1%—comparable to that of seasonal flu. 'If that is the true rate,' he wrote, 'locking down the world with potentially tremendous social and financial consequences may be totally irrational. It’s like an elephant being attacked by a house cat. Frustrated and trying to avoid the cat, the elephant accidentally jumps off a cliff and dies.'”

"CUOMO HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS": New York Required Nursing Homes To Admit ‘Medically Stable’ Coronavirus Patients. The Results Were Deadly


From The Daily Wire:
On March 25, New York’s Health Department issued a mandate that state nursing homes could not refuse COVID-19-positive patients who were “medically stable,” meaning facilities that housed the most vulnerable populations were forced to introduce the virus into their midst. 
A nursing home in Queens received two coronavirus patients who had been discharged from a hospital (but were still contagious and in need of care) – along with a box containing body bags, The New York Post reported. 
An executive at the facility told the Post it had been free of the coronavirus prior to accepting those two patients. The executive also said that along with the two patients arrived a shipment of personal protective equipment and the body bags. 
“My colleague noticed that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. Curious as to what could possibly be making that particular box so much heavier than the rest, he opened it,” the executive told the Post. 
“The first two coronavirus patients were accompanied by five body bags.” The Post reported that within days, “three of the bags were filled with the first of 30 residents who would die there.” 
The nursing facility continued to receive shipments of five body bags per week since those first two patients arrived – and they have been needed. 
“Cuomo has blood on his hands. He really does. There’s no way to sugarcoat this,” the nursing home executive told the outlet. “Why in the world would you be sending coronavirus patients to a nursing home, where the most vulnerable population to this disease resides?”

HIGH DOSAGE VITAMIN C DELIVERED INTRAVENOUSLY, KILLS CANCER AND CORONAVIRUS


From Oncology Nurse Advisor:
High-dose vitamin C causes cancer cells to die in a cell culture model. These experiments revealed the mechanism of action by which vitamin C achieves this.1 As vitamin C breaks down, it generates hydrogen peroxide. 
Hydrogen peroxide is a reactive oxygen species that can cause cellular and DNA damage. Tumor cells are less able to remove hydrogen peroxide due to low levels of catalase, an enzyme that removes hydrogen peroxide. 
“In this paper we demonstrate that cancer cells are much less efficient in removing hydrogen peroxide than normal cells. Thus, cancer cells are much more prone to damage and death from a high amount of hydrogen peroxide,” said senior author Garry Buettner, PhD, a professor of radiation oncology and a member of Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. 
“This explains how the very, very high levels of vitamin C used in our clinical trials do not affect normal tissue, but can be damaging to tumor tissue.” 
Intravenous delivery of vitamin C can bypass the gut metabolism and excretion pathway, resulting in serum levels that are 100 to 500 times higher than serum levels after oral ingestion. At this higher serum level, vitamin C could cause the selective death of cancer cells over healthy cells.
AND THEN THERE'S THIS FROM HARVARD.EDU:
The idea that high-dose IV vitamin C might help in overwhelming infections is not new. A 2017 study found that high-dose IV vitamin C treatment (along with thiamine and corticosteroids) appeared to prevent deaths among people with sepsis, a form of overwhelming infection causing dangerously low blood pressure and organ failure. 
Another study published last year assessed the effect of high-dose vitamin C infusions among patients with severe infections who had sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in which the lungs fill with fluid. 
While the study's main measures of improvement did not improve within the first four days of vitamin C therapy, there was a lower death rate at 28 days among treated patients. 
Though neither of these studies looked at vitamin C use in patients with COVID-19, the vitamin therapy was specifically given for sepsis and ARDS, and these are the most common conditions leading to intensive care unit admission, ventilator support, or death among those with severe COVID-19 infections.

IS THIS TRUE? Something is Fishy in China

COURAGE? IT’S IN SHORT SUPPLY


From Powerline:
Here’s one of the crazier features of “expert guidance” as governors try to lay out criteria for reopening their states. With the exception of the Deep South governors (who are taking variable stances), it seems that most governors want to see declining counts of positive cases in the state. 
But everywhere we have tested a whole population (a ship at sea, all the women coming in for delivery in NYC, everyone in a Boston homeless shelter), the finding is that a majority (often a large majority) of infected people are asymptomatic. 
Aren’t “experts” aware of this characteristic of the disease? It has been widely reported for weeks! 
What this means is that confirmed cases is hugely problematic as an indicator – it just can’t tell us much about how or where the disease is spreading. If we do more tests, we’ll find more positive cases. We started out only testing the most severe cases and ones with ties to Chinese travel. 
Now tests are more plentiful, so more people with mild symptoms are being identified as positive. But even if we are picking up modestly more of the symptomatic cases, we’re still missing the asymptomatic cases. Given how many people have mild or no symptoms, that’s most of the cases! 
Case counts just don’t provide meaningful epidemiological information under these conditions. Why can’t experts seem to see this? 
The original goal of the lockdowns was to bend the curve to bring it within the system’s capacity. That has clearly been achieved! There continue to be empty hospitals all over the country, bleeding money and furloughing staff. 
So to gauge the status of the situation in their states what governors really need to be looking at is hospital capacity. What is the trend there? Is there sufficient slack for a surge of COVID? Those are the key questions for public policy. 
One can think about it in this simple way: the virus doesn’t disproportionately strike nursing homes relative to other institutions. It’s just that when it reaches a nursing home, it has a devastating effect. 
But the fact that it’s gotten into so amazingly many nursing homes around the country just means that it has gotten into an amazingly large number of institutions and households all around the country. 
Most of the time the virus’s spread is very stealthy, because it doesn’t make most of those infected very sick or even sick at all. But it is lethal for particular subgroups, especially for frail elderly in nursing homes. 
What this tells me is that the virus cannot be contained via contact tracing, etc., because it’s too widespread already. We don’t (and won’t) have the capacity to test everyone everywhere anytime in the foreseeable future. 
We must recognize that the idea that the virus can be stamped out entirely is quixotic at this point. The question should be on how to manage the disease. We have to accept that it is here, part of our environment. 
We have to figure out how to have a functioning society while we live with it. Will the experts and elected officials ever have the courage to tell people the truth about the situation? 
Contact tracing works for sexually transmitted diseases because most people can remember the names of those with whom they have had sexual relations. But it is useless to “contact trace” in the context of COVID-19, or any respiratory virus, by asking people whom they rode the subway with, or who else may have been in the grocery store at the same time they were there. 
If you read carefully, you can figure out that all the epidemiologists–as far as I know–say that CIVOD-19 will continue to spread, over time, until enough of us have had it to confer herd immunity. The percentages I have seen range from a low of around 25% of the population to a high of 80%. This is true regardless of how long the shutdowns last. The curve no longer needs to be flattened, so the shutdowns no longer have a coherent purpose, but have taken on a life of their own. 
Will the “experts” and elected officials ever have the courage to tell people the truth about the situation? No. And the less said about our hopelessly corrupt press, the better.

Coronavirus Survey Reveals 13.9% In New York Have COVID-19 Antibodies, Cuomo Says



Coronavirus Survey Reveals 13.9% In New York Have COVID-19 Antibodies, Cuomo Says

New York State Population = 19,450,000

19,450,000 X 13.9% = 2,703,550

Total COVID Deaths in New York State = 16,162

16,162 divided by 2,703,550  = .00597

Seasonal Flu 2017-2018 

45,000,000 Cases

61,000 Deaths 

61,000 divided by 45,000,000 = .0013

California Doctor Gives His Take on Coronavirus: "We've Never Seen Where We Quarantine The Healthy, Where You Take Those Without the Disease and Lock Them In Their Home"


This Doctor is counting numbers wrong, in my opinion. Generally what he is saying is correct. But his analysis of numbers is not framed correctly.

Serological tests done on a cross-section of the population show that 13.9% of the population of the state of New York already has the antibodies for Covid. That means 13.9% of people have had Coronavirus.

New York State Population = 19,450,000

19,450,000 X 13.9% = 2,703,550

Total COVID Deaths in New York State = 16,162

16,162 divided by 2,703,550  = .00597

What the Doctor says in the video is that 39% of people who have been tested for whether or not they have Coronavirus currently, do indeed have Coronavirus.

But that testing is administered to people who believe, with evidence, that they have Coronavirus.

It is not Serological testing to determine the presence of antibodies. And it is not on a cross-section of the population, so it's results are not very meaningful as to what we can expect if every single person were to be tested.
