Doctors condemn secrecy over false negative Covid-19 tests
This is from the UK but the facts fit here too. So when Trump talks about distributing swab test to millions just remember this.
“Swab tests are known to be unreliable. Doctors and hospital bosses have told the Guardian that about 25% of those carried out during the pandemic wrongly said that a carrier was not infected. Medical research has found that as many as 29% yield a false negative.”
USA Covid deaths & war deaths
This is a comparison of how many people from the USA have died from covid and how many USA soldier died in these wars.
(Don’t forget that million of innocent people around the war died from these wars. It also doesn’t include how many soldiers killed themselves after from PTSD).
In all these scenarios, capitalism & imperialism are killing us

Antibody that inhibits the new coronavirus discovered in patient who had SARS 17 years ago

“Blood samples from the patient, who had SARS in 2003, contained an antibody that appeared to block the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2”
EVEN IF YOU MAY SURVIVE COVID, DO YOU REALLY WANT THESE SYMPTOMS FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS?
Someone in my covid group made a list of about 60 symptoms. I had 42 symptoms at some point over the past 2 months:
1) chest pain/tightness
2) body aches/muscle aches
3) headaches
4) respiratory distress
5) fatigue, lethargy, weak
6) GI issues
7) body ache, muscle ache
8)having symptoms in waves
9) emotional distress, sadness
10) high heart rate, palpitations
11) brain fog, forgetfulness
12) talking causes exhaustion
13) blurry vision (had for 2 days in one eye)
14) chills
15) no appetite (that only last a week or two)
16) insomnia
17) tachycardia/pots (High heart rate, heart palpitations)
18) tingling body sensation
19) lung, heart pain
20) changes in taste/smell
21) sinus press headache
21) heavy sweating
22) symptomatic 30 days
23) phantosmia (smelled metallic or burning)
24) increased blood pressure
25) constricted throat (hard to swallow)
26) dehydration
27) oxygen under 90
28) tinnitus
29) ride side rib pain (that’s where my bad pneumonia was)
30) breast pain
31) irregular heart beat
32) enlarged lymph nodes (very painful)
33) blocked ear drum/ear ache (very painful)
34) pneumonia
35) low temperature
36) hallucinations (at night when I think my fever was very high)
37) leg pain
38) abdominal pain
39) enlarged aorta (from my heart trying to pump blood)
40) gum sensitivity/pain
41) dizziness
42) seeing spots
And I’m lucky because I never had some of the other symptoms, such as:
-rashes
-inflamed eyeballs
-kidney issues & dark urine
-cough
-covid toes
-terrible joint pain
-burning in lungs
-loss of taste, smell
-sore throat
-numbness in fingers and toes
-blood clots
-pink eye
-crackling lung
-restless leg
-vomiting
-tremors
-hives
Some people also have permanent damage to their lungs, heart and other organs. Even young healthy people have these horrible symptoms. Covid is no joke.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR IMMUNITY, WRITTEN MAY 24th, 2020:
[“I have yet to see a definitive case of reinfection reported in the scientific literature [to date]. To truly prove reinfection, and discriminate from prolonged viral shedding related to the first infection, would require sequencing of both the first and second viruses and demonstration that the two viruses are genetically different,” he said, adding it will also be important to look at symptoms and how long reinfection lasts.
“It is also important to recognise that documentation of one or a handful of reinfections does not prove that this is a common, epidemiologically important event.”
What happened in South Korea, where patients tested positive after having recovered from Covid-19?
This initially caused concerns, as experts feared the results might suggest patients had been reinfected. However, the World Health Organization has since said the results were actually false positives, a result of the test picking up particles of the virus within dead lung cells – but this is not active virus. That’s because the PCR (or “have-you-got-it”) test is based on detecting genetic material from the virus – on its own it does not reveal whether that virus is active, and infectious, or not.]
SWEDEN’S MORTALITY RATE IS THE HIGHEST IN EUROPE DUE TO FAILED “HERD IMMUNITY”
[“Unlike its Nordic neighbors, Sweden decided early on in the pandemic to forgo lockdown in the hope of achieving broad immunity to the coronavirus. While social distancing was promoted, the government allowed bars, restaurants, salons, gyms and schools to stay open.
Initially, Sweden saw death rates from COVID-19 that were similar to other European nations that had closed down their economies. But now the Scandinavian nation’s daily death toll per 1 million people is 8.71 compared to the United States’ 4.59, according to online publication Our World in Data. Sweden’s mortality rate is the highest in Europe.
“I’d say it hasn’t worked out so well,” said Dr. George Rutherford, professor of epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco. “I think the mortality in Norway is something like ten-fold lower. That’s the real comparator.” (Norway’s daily death rate is less than .01 per 1 million people.)
“If you let this go or don’t try very hard or go about it in somewhat of a more restrained way rather than we have here, this is the price you pay,” Rutherford said. “Maybe it didn’t hurt businesses, but you have twice the mortality rate of the United States. All those people who died were part of families and they were citizens and part of the fabric of Swedish society. And now they’re gone because of a policy that hasn’t worked out quite the way they thought it would.”
Scientists estimate herd immunity for the coronavirus is reached when 70-90% of the population becomes immune to a virus, either by becoming infected or getting a protective vaccine.
Despite its relaxed response, Sweden is nowhere near to hitting that goal. Tests on 1,118 Stockholm residents carried out by Sweden’s Public Health Agency over one week in late April showed that only 7.3% had developed the antibodies needed to stave off the disease.”
HOW LONG DOES COVID LAST ON VARIOUS SURFACES?
It’s crazy that people would act like you or your house are plagued after you are cured from covid. So many people in my covid support groups say that even their family and friends won’t even talk to them or drop of food at their doors. It’s horrifying.
I’m so blessed to have a great support system, that in the past 2 months 80 people have dropped or sent food or items to me, and some people 3-4x! And about 40% of the people I have never even met!
Covid does NOT last long on most things. Here is how long it lasts:
Paper for up to 30 minutes.
Tissue paper for up to 30 minutes.
Wood for up to a day.
Cloth for up to a day.
Glass for up to two days.
Bank notes for up to two days
Stainless steel for up to four days
Plastic for up to four days
The inner layer of a mask for up to four days
The outer layer of a mask for up to seven days
Now, with that said, I 100% support quarantining and believe we are opening up way too soon. I’m just saying that people should treat ill people or formerly ill people with kindness and not like they have/had the plague.
This was preventable
Coronavirus patients stop being infectious after 11 days even if they still test positive for the disease, study finds
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8353093/Coronavirus-patients-stop-infectious-11-days.html
An infected person becomes contagious around two days before symptoms show, researchers from Singapore found.
They then remain contagious for between seven and ten days after they start showing signs of the disease – which include having a high temperature and a new and continuous cough.
Covid-19 ‘could not be isolated or cultured after day 11’ of the illness, researchers said.
Scientists from Singapore’s National Center for Infectious Diseases and the Academy of Medicine examined 73 patients with coronavirus.]
