Others get the flu and show no symptoms (asymptomatic) or their symptoms are so mild that they do not know that they were infected by a virus. For others, the symptoms could be so moderate that the individual never goes and gets diagnosed.
We do not know how many people get the flu with no symptoms and receive a lifetime of immunity.
But, we know that 95% of the people who contracted the Poliovirus never showed symptoms or they were so mild they never knew that it was polio yet became immune.[1]
The current gamble seems to be to shut down the nation indefinitely to suppress a virus that is supposed to be especially deadly to some demographics and experts agree cannot be contained, only slowed.
By the Ides of March, 2020 "More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions, according to the country’s national health authority.”
People seem to want to believe that if we merely quarantine sick people and those at risk, a “mitigation” strategy being used in Denmark, one computer model projects the U.S. death toll at about 2 million, again half from lack of ventilators, not depth of disease. But the Hoover Institution's study and model suggests “the total number of cases worldwide will peak out at well under one million, with the total number of deaths at under 50,000″, which is comparable to the annual death rate due to flu in the United States.
So, what is the truth?
Coronavirus confirmed cases as of March 25 were 64,765 with 910 deaths (Death rate of 1.4%).
Since we know that half the people who get this Covid 19 flu show no symptoms and the half that do show symptoms only have mild to moderate symptoms, the true number of cases of people who have already had this flu and are now immune is likely more than the most conservative number of at least 129,000 people in America (Death rate .7%).
Until they can actually test for the RNA of the virus, or better the antigens[2] or antibodies[3] that show you are now immune, there is no way to actually know those already immune or if the numbers have already reached herd immunity. It is very possible a million people have already been exposed which would bring the death rate down to .09% or lower. The sharp drop of new cases in China with over a billion people is evidence this may be occurring.
Delaying herd immunity is not good but destroying the economic stability of millions of families may be worse.
Why the CDC does not accurately factor that into their estimates only they can explain. We know that 95% of the people who contracted Poliovirus never showed symptoms so most people did not need the vaccination when it came out because they were already immune.

Early Evidence
John P.A. Ioannidis, a professor of medicine, epidemiology, and statistics at Stanford University and co-director of Stanford’s Meta-Research Innovation Center stated
"If we assume that case fatality rate among individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 is 0.3% in the general population — a mid-range guess from the Diamond Princess analysis — and that 1% of the U.S. population gets infected (about 3.3 million people), this would translate to about 10,000 deaths."
News from the Princess
Professor John Ioannidis's data might allow an estimated of a .3% death rate which contradicts Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson's data which everyone has been pushed to accept as gospel. But many of the studies admit there are data limitations. Others have suggested in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19 infections in China end in death.[4]
- "... a total of 634 people including one quarantine officer, one nurse and one administrative officer tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. These individuals were among a total of 3,711 passengers and crew members onboard the vessel."
On the Diamond Princess cruise ship their laboratory tests were primarily PCR tests[5] that were "conducted focusing on symptomatic cases especially at the early phase of the quarantine. If asymptomatic cases were missed as a result of this, it would mean we have underestimated the asymptomatic proportion."[6]
There is a huge difference between calculating death rates using "case" numbers verses "estimate" numbers of a disease. You cannot compare the two without misleading people. If you are a professional and you do then you are lying. "As of February 20, tests of most of the 3,711 people aboard the Diamond Princess confirmed that 634, or 17 percent, had the virus; 328 of them did not have symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Of those with symptoms, the fatality ratio was 1.9 percent, Russell and colleagues calculate. Of all infected, that ratio was 0.91 percent. Those 70 and older were most vulnerable, with an overall fatality ratio of about 7.3 percent."[7] But if you calculate the death rate of the Covid-19 based on actual infections even amongst a population of people over 60 who are the most vulnerable that makes the death rate "in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19".[7]
The passengers and crew of the Diamond Princes were not a random sample but the passengers were mostly over 60, which may "lead to underestimation"[6] of the natural true asymptomatic portion of society. Even with the high age factor the death rate onboard was only 0.5 percent or less. If anyone factored in that everyone under 40 including small children have generally produced a percentage of .2% The death rate comes closer to the estimate of Professor John Ioannidis.
We cannot forget those pre-existing conditions that account for the vast majority of cases that show symptoms are found generally in the older population.
So, it is reasonable, considering the track record of COVID-19, that the presence of symptoms "may correlate with other factors unrelated to age including prior health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and/or immunosuppression."[6]
Reports from the Diamond Princess cruise ship should make it clear that the virus is highly contagious[8] under ship conditions. But we also know that many people, though they get the virus, show little or no symptoms. A "substantial fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals are asymptomatic"[6] which had also been verified with higher numbers in a Japanese study.
Silent Cure
Anywhere from 80 percent of infections in adults to 95 percent of infections in children that are observed or detected appear to be mild to moderate cases overcome in about two weeks with rest at home. Since death rates are calculated only from those who get severely ill and are tested, we can assume the death rate from this virus is actually much lower. If we take in the high rate of asymptomatic individuals that we see in the Princess analysis and other broader examinations no one knows how many people or the rate they are being infected but recovering. That would infer that no one knows the actual death rate which seems far lower than some of the models.
As fast as it is spreading, we can assume that society is well on its way to "herd immunity" which is the best way to reach maximum protection of society. A vaccine cannot accomplish that and a quarantine of society only delays the natural process of the society obtaining herd immunity.
Many people have likely been exposed, recovered and are now immune. Why are we risking a wrecked economy and welfare expansions beyond FDR’s wildest dreams?
Richard Epstein at the Hoover Institution writes of serious flaws in predictions of 1 million or more Americans dead from coronavirus:
- “Clearly, the impact on elderly and immunocompromised individuals is severe, with nearly 90% of total deaths coming from individuals 60 and over. But these data do not call for shutting down all public and private facilities given the extraordinarily low rates of death in the population under 50.”
- “Of course, every life lost is a tragedy…but those deaths stemming from the coronavirus are not more tragic than others, so that the same social calculus applies here that should apply in other cases... A Depression Will Ruin 330 Million Lives, Not 4 Million.”
Victor Davis Hanson was a professor of classics at California State University, Fresno, and is currently the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. He has been a visiting professor at Hillsdale College since 2004. He suggests that:
“[T]he massive curtailments of the U.S. economy can have as many health consequences as the virus itself—if millions lose income and jobs, become depressed in self-isolation, increase smoking, and drug and alcohol use, and postpone out of fear necessary buying and visits to doctors and hospitals for chronic and serious medical conditions unrelated to the virus...”
Backtracking
By March 26 after the world economy has almost entirely shut down, millions of people ending up unemployed, hundreds of thousands of people losing their business and suffering hardships, an increase in suicides, and the list goes on. But now Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson is downgrading his original estimates for many of the same reasons we have already shared on our network. He reduced the number of expected deaths from 2.2 million people in the United States and 500,000 in the U.K. to a fraction of what he originally predicted. Now, this expert epidemiologist tells the British government that hospitals will be just fine taking on COVID-19 patients and he estimates "20,000 or far fewer people will die" from the virus itself or from its agitation of other ailments, as reported by New Scientist the day before.
From the beginning, hundreds of epidemiologists and doctors were saying this flu, while more contagious,[8] would not reach Ferguson's frightening numbers. And many published prediction models have been far closer to the truth. But they were not invited into the media so most people have only heard the hype. Their low number predictions are coming true while Ferguson backpedals. But the damage is done.
What can we learn?
Ferguson would eventually backtrack on his downgraded prediction saying that the new numbers are only the result of social spacing and the shutdown. This, of course, contradicts what he said about the numbers revealing that far more people likely have the virus than his team figured.
When Ferguson lowered his estimates to a fraction of the original panicking numbers, he stated, “What we’ve been seeing, though, in Europe in the last week or two is a rate of growth of the epidemic which was faster than we expected from early data in China. And so we are revising our quotes... we should have been looking at previously.”
The "early data in China" did not factor in the mild symptoms or the numerous asymptotic people that included more than half of the passengers on the cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, nor have they considered the millions of people with symptoms so mild or moderate they never thought they had this particular flu.
Gupta on the Silent Cure
Professor Sanjay Gupta with the research team from the Oxford study suggests that the virus had been invisibly spreading for at least a month earlier than suspected, concluding that as many as half of the people in the United Kingdom have already been infected by COVID-19.
No one is ending this virus. It will still be around when people are let out again.
Remember they said these drastic measures were just to "slow" the spread of the virus.
Experts warned us that slowing the virus could be dangerous but for some reason they chose to cripple the economy. Why?
They kept telling us this was a "novel" virus and no one is immune. What they did not tell you is there are new viruses every year and have been for decades and centuries. Yet, we become immune, or enough of us do to protect society. Our bodies do so naturally if we let them.
The case of the missing estimate
Many people are beginning to do the math and some journalist are saying we are being lied to.
Clive Cookson, Science Editor MARCH 24 2020 announced in his story "Coronavirus may have infected half of UK population — Oxford study "where he reveals that a "New epidemiological model suggests the vast majority of people suffer little or no illness."[9] Herd immunity equates to anything over 60%.
The UK population is over 67,530,172 and halving that suggests 33,765,086 people already have or have had the virus.
After Oxford announced on March 17th they believd more than half of the UK already had the virus only there were only 14,543 cases that had been counted with deaths numbering at 759.
That would make the actual death rate only 0.00002% for 33,765,086 million people who had mild cases and possibly showed little or even zero symptoms.
Of course, more deaths will come as those who are seriously ill may succumb. We can now see 15 days later the numbers changed.
The United Kingdom had 38,868 confirmed cases on April 3.
But of course, the actual number of people who have contracted COVID 19 has also been increasing to over the 33,700,000 estimated by Oxford scholars.
Official sources tell us that 208 seriously ill patients have recovered. But that is deceptive because, according to Oxford scientists who have been testing for the actual antibodies, a clearer picture is provided to the public when they are also told that more than 33,700,000 people have recovered with their own antibodies protecting them from getting ill or spreading the virus.
At the same time the number of deaths has reached 3,611. Using that number from April 3 and the Oxford estimate from March 17th for estimated cases of COVID 19 the death rate still calculates out to 0.0001%. The average death rate for the annual seasonal flu is 0.1%.
So, we all need to ask the question of why has almost the whole world economy has been shut down?
We also may want to ask, rather than devastate the lives and the personal economies of millions of Americans and plunging the nation into trillions and trillions of dollars in debt, was there something more practical that could have been done?
Wouldn't it have been simpler to quarantine the people who are most vulnerable? You could have put them all in those private motels we have shut down and brought them room service from all those restaurants we closed. That all could have been done for a fraction of the cost.
If you ponder the facts rather than run behind the media narrative you might be ready to ask more questions. Like is this corruption, conspiracy, or incompetence? Or is their more going on than we know?
The Oxford study
The Oxford study that shows that half the people in the UK may already be immune has been referenced in the news.[10]
The Oxford study contradicts the Imperial College London model used by the UK government to develop policies to halt the crisis using social distancing.
- “I am surprised that there has been such unqualified acceptance of the Imperial model,” Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study, told the Financial Times.[11]
Has Britain been allowing the virus to spread, while other countries have closed schools and implemented more drastic measures? The government is trying to build up herd immunity to combat the infection. Oxford and London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) are said to agree with the British approach.[12]
This massive but silent spread of immunity in the UK has certainly been going on in America too. They tell us to listen to the experts, but then they only let you hear from the experts they want.
This "Silent Cure" has been taking society toward the ultimate goal of reaching the safety of herd immunity as nature has done throughout the history of mankind.
For weeks we have been informing people on our network and those who listen to our Podcasts details based on all the reports that were coming out before the government began to shut down the economic lives of the people and the media began to panic the lemmings of society.
So have the governments of the world failed to listen to all the expert analysts that were giving drastically different numbers? Has the media struck fear into the people to cause panic? Is their more to these events than what the people have been told? Did some people seize the opportunity to use this virus to cover the movement of trillions of dollars, the expansion of government powers, the doubling of the national debt, and to test the people's resistance to martial law? Are they done? Or is their more to come?
Delaying herd immunity
Should we be delaying herd immunity by the drastic economic shutdown being imposed by the government?
Experts seem to agree that we should not but are often barred from major media until no one can hear the truth having believed a lie.
Professor Knut Wittkowski
Further, he offers data to show that China and South Korea had already reached their peak number of cases when they instituted their containment measures. In other words, nature had already achieved, or nearly achieved, herd immunity. Part 1. Time 41:30
Professor Knut Wittkowski is saying what many other accomplished Epidemiologists have been saying for years and we have been reporting since March. He warns against delaying herd immunity and says there is no need for a vaccine. For most places, the epidemic is over and delaying it further will flatten the curve but will prolong the virus's presence in society and with this shut down will cause more deaths in the long run. We are guarantying a second wave with social distancings. Most people are probably immune already and the panic is causing shortages and will cause great damage to the whole of society. He says we "should be resisting". Shutting down the schools was the worst thing to do. We should not have isolated the children but only the elderly and vulnerable. Americans are too docile and they need to ask their politicians real questions. "If people do not stand up for their rights their rights will be forgotten."
Rights Forgotten
"If people do not stand up for their rights their rights will be forgotten." Professor Knut Wittkowski. Time 4:00
We need to look at real data to know what to ask those who are trying to lead us through the media madness or political agendas of the world. The issue of vaccines was also addressed by Professor Wittkowski. If most of us are immune why should anyone be forced to get vaccinated? If natural immunity for the majority of the population is already present could vaccinations do more harm than good?
If you have a right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" given to you by God, how come a government has the right to take those rights away?
Americans need to listen to other qualified experts who are giving us a better and broader perspective to truly understand this virus or any virus. If we are to promote a healthier society we need to understand how society works and what makes us healthy and what seems to make us sick.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." Hosea 4:6
Don't be a lemming; be a learner. Study to seek the truth in all things.
The Constitution is the law governing the government. It could only be written after the Declaration of Independence which states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
The shutdown, according to the experts, is effecting our "Safety and Happiness". Taking away the livelihood of individuals and their right to assemble, or pursue happiness, or even to live, is common in under socialism and communism. But, in the past, it has been considered unAmerican.
What has changed in America? What has been changed in us?
Polybius said before the death of the Republic of Rome:
"The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence; [13] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[14] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." [15] [16]
- Polybius saw the downfall of the republic by way of their free bread and welfare a 150 years before the first Emperor of Rome and 175 years before the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ who opposed these same systems of free bread at your neighbor's expense.
- The authoritarian State often uses force and violence to become the Benefactors of the people if the covet what is their neighbors'. They make a social contract where one class of citizen is forced to provide for another class through "legal charity" which is not true charity. The writings of the Apostles warned along with countless passages of ancient writings of the prophets including Proverbs 23 which warned them about what Christ forbid which was the covetous practices of socialist forms of government.
If these quarantine measures are making things worse what should we really be doing?
“Graham Medley from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who chairs a group of scientists who model the spread of infectious diseases and advise the government on pandemic responses, says that the actual goal is the same as that of other countries: flatten the curve by staggering the onset of infections. As a consequence, the nation may achieve herd immunity; it's a side effect, not an aim.”[17]
But according to Thomas House, “The current coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19 [2020-03-14 ]) has raised questions about herd immunity, social distancing measures, and the relationship between these.” “In fact, the later intervention dramatically reduces the burden on the healthcare system, cutting in half the maximum numbers ill and potentially needing treatment at any one time, and significantly reduces the final number infected, which the earlier interventions fail to do.”
“The reason that this happens is that social distancing measures do not lead to herd immunity, so once they are lifted the epidemic starts again.”[18]
There is a need to develop herd immunity rather than shutting down the economic livelihood of society at the devastation of millions of families and cursing our children with eternal debt.
- "We think this virus is likely to be one that comes year on year ... like a seasonal virus ... Communities will become immune to it and that's going to be an important part of controlling this longer term." Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief scientific adviser.
In one interview with James Walsh, Pulitzer-winning infectious disease reporter Laurie Garrett explained the necessity of antibody tests:
- "If we had this antibody test, we can go around randomly selecting people in New York City and find out how many New Yorkers, including right now, have had this virus in their bodies."[19]
Other experts are saying the same thing because they know that natural herd immunity is essential to good societal health:
- "Johnson's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, who along with chief medical officer Chris Whitty has been entrusted by the government to manage the spread of virus, says between 60 to 70 per cent of the population would need to be infected to achieve herd immunity." [20]
Vaccines generally only give temporary immunity. If more half the population of the UK is already immune there is little need for a vaccine and reopening the economy can begin immediately. It also means all the projected numbers of vast hospitalization are completely bogus. The other 30 million Brits would only produce at the most 14,000 more cases with far less national deaths numbering at less than 1500 and not the 20,000 revised figure of Ferguson nor his outlandish original of 500,000.
The slowdown of the spread of the virus may not be because of the shutdown and social spacing, but the fact that the people are reaching herd immunity. Remember Correlation is not Causation.
The only way to know for sure is to begin to randomly testing the populations for antibodies of the Coronavirus.[21]
Professor Trudie Lang, of the Global Health Network at the University of Oxford, said that the latest test for COVID-19 works by detecting the vital antibodies which “will demonstrate if your immune system has cleared the infection...It’s very unlikely you can get the virus again.” [22]
Other countries are working on tests for antibodies. We know that the PCR or RT-PCR test[5] is inaccurate by itself for identifying a specific virus or those infected.
Numerous teams in numerous countries have developed the equipment for a test for the Coronavirus and the Antibodies of the Coronavirus in early March and have already been testing in Oxford, UK, and Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital in New York. They can test a patient and have results in six minutes. If people in the governments of the world care about the people and the economy by which they sustain their "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" they will make an antibody test the priority.
There will be a drawback to this commonsense approach. If it is discovered that 60 to 70 percent of the people are immune already or quickly approaching that herd immunity, as Oxfordand LSE agree, then a vaccine will not be as important or needed. This means hundreds of millions of dollars will not be made by pharmaceutical companies, nor will they be able to claim credit for saving the people when in fact the people already saved themselves because of their robust immune systems. Pharmaceutical companies and developers of vaccines have no interest and certainly no financial incentive in finding out that society is again becoming immune without them.
The Test
David Crowe, an expert in global infections such as SARS, Ebola, and flu, sees the coronavirus panic as an irrational panic, based on an unproven RNA test called “polymerase chain reaction” (PCR).[5]
- "The coronavirus test is based on PCR,[5] a manufacturing technique. When used as a test, it does not produce a positive/negative [actually this would be better described as "presence or absence" of the amplified gene product] result, but simply the number of cycles required to detect genetic material. The division between positive and negative is an arbitrary number of cycles chosen by the testers. If positive means infected and negative means uninfected, then there are cases of people going from infected to uninfected and back to infected again in a couple of days."
- "The world is suffering from a massive delusion based on the belief that a test for RNA is a test for a deadly new virus... but that is not proof that the RNA is from a virus. Without purification and characterization of virus particles, it cannot be accepted that an RNA test is proof that a virus is present."
A new scientific paper (citation) has calculated the false positive rate with the PCR Test[5] for asymptomatic patients at 80%! The data is little more than a guess and the statics tell you nothing since so many people without symptoms or mild cases are never even tested with any test nor counted when estimating death rates.
Everyone wants to believe testing settles the issue as to being infected or not. An accurate dependable test that is virus-specific is still in development. Without purification and characterization of virus particles of the RNA there is no proof that a virus is present. The common PCR[5] test (polymerase chain reaction) gives many false positives and is not RNA specific. If you're sick stay home, avoid contact, treat as most flu infection or call your health provider.
In-house developed molecular assays
Asked how well the new tests work, Mayo Clinic internist and biostatistician Dr. Colin West said: "The most honest answer is, we don't really know."
Most of the 30 or so lab-based rapid-detection tests that detect genetic traces of the virus were validated using 30 “contrived” samples of the novel coronavirus — not a clinical trial. Even less information is available about the tests that look for the presence of antibodies in blood samples. There is little evidence yet that the tests work well.
“Everybody is focused on how many tests will be out there. No one is really focusing on quality. ... We need to have the right data, not just more data.” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Political Backpedaling
Governor Cuomo is backtracking on the shutdown policy with his statement, “If you rethought that or had time to analyze that public health strategy, I don’t know that you would say quarantine everyone. I don’t even know that that was the best public health policy."[23]
Why is Cuomo changing his mind? Does he have information that is not yet released the public? Could this change of heart be because of new testing in New York, Oxford, and some locations in Europe? Because they can now test for the antibodies of the Coronavirus will we finally reveal the extent and truth about this professed pandemic?
They asked the question in Science magazine, "How many COVID-19 cases have gone undetected? And are those who had mild cases of the disease—perhaps so mild they dismissed it as a cold or allergies—immune to new infections? If so, they could slow the spread of the burgeoning pandemic."[24]
This new testing being used can identify the DNA of the virus and answer these question which the common PCR test (polymerase chain reaction), which is an RNA-based diagnostic test,[5] cannot answer. This new equipment can test a person’s blood for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2[25]. Such tests can detect active infections, too, but more importantly, they can tell whether a person has been infected in the past because the body retains antibodies against pathogens it has already overcome.
Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital
That is right. The ability to actually make these virus-specific tests was not available until the mid-March announcement. They certainly had to test the equipment locally where, "An expert team of researchers and clinicians in microbiology, virology, pathology, molecular science, and immunology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and The Mount Sinai Hospital (MSH) have been working together around the clock to design, validate, and implement an “end-to-end” clinical pathology laboratory solution that will allow for the testing of approximately several hundred people per day in order to rapidly diagnose and help guide the selection of treatment and monitor disease course."[26]
During their validation process they had to be testing both ill patients and healthy people to determine if their new procedures were effective just like was being done in the UK with the Oxford study team.
Reading the article and seeing the fact that they have been secretly testing already, could it be that they are already confirming the Oxford study's projection that more than half of the UK is already immune and well on their way to herd immunity? Are they getting similar numbers testing American?
The article quoting Cuomo's shrouded confession talks about "other pieces of evidence", and "the number of people who are infected" being "much larger" "with few exceptions around the world":
- "At the same time, we have other pieces of evidence that the number of people who are infected is much larger compared with the number of cases we have documented. In most places, with few exceptions around the world, we are just testing people who have substantial symptoms who have come to seek health care or even to be hospitalized. These are just the tip of the iceberg."[23]
Cuomo went on to say the following:
- “Young people then quarantined with older people was probably not the best public health strategy because the younger people could have been exposing the older people to an infection."[23]
Cuomo at this point knows that people, especially young people, can have the virus with no symptoms. Of course, we have been saying this for months which was confirmed by the earliest analysis from the Diamond Princess cruise.
Cuomo further stated that:
- “What we did was we closed everything down. That was our public health strategy. Just close everything, all businesses, old workers, young people, old people, short people, tall people. Every school closed, everything.”[23]
The well-written article, worth reading entirely, written by Jeffrey A. Tucker also states, "It’s true that anyone following the unfolding fiasco and the gradually emerging data behind it knows that Cuomo is right. The response has not been modern and scientific. It has been medieval and mystical. The theory behind the policy has been nothing but a panicked cry of run and hide before the noxious gas gets you. Lacking reliable data – which is the fault of the CDC and FDA – we replaced knowledge with power."[23]
I agree entirely with Jeffrey except for the part about "fault". Blame is not like pie. You do not divide it up in shares. The CDC, FDA, CNN, ABC, Fox and all the media carry their burden of personal blame from 100% of their own lack of perception, integrity, due diligence, and honesty. Every politician and their incompetent advisors must also carry the blame in what has become a fiasco of foolish panic.
But most of all in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the people must accept their own blame. They have given the power to their government leaders, to the talking heads of the media and to the puppet masters behind them. They have also given power to men in white coats, and letters after their names. They give power to men by using labels like "expert" paraded by the media across the screens of their electronic devices.
Now it has been revealed that they ate the cheese and accepted the fake news that the sky was falling, and a plague was going to kill us all when the truth was available to journalists, advisors, politicians and even the people if they had the honesty, fortitude, industry, and spirit to pursue the truth. But isn't that pursuit included in the command to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness?
If the evidence Cuomo speaks of and suggested by the teams at Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital, the Oxford study, and other research teams around the world is shared with the people, some will begin to realize that society can become immune to new diseases naturally through herd immunity. They may also realize that they should stop putting too much "faith" and "power in the hands of the government and the media.
There are elements of society that would like to keep this information from the people because with the people's ignorance and apathy men are allowed to seek power.
Cuomo says he cannot believe the president just extended the quarantine that shortly before Cuomo thought were a good idea.
- “I don’t believe that he could be serious, that any federal administration could be serious about a physical lockdown of states or parts of states across this country,” Cuomo continued. “I don’t believe it is legal. I think it would be economic chaos. I don’t think the American people would stand for it. It’s just a question of time before you see the numbers growing in hot spots across the nation. So, I think it makes absolutely no sense and I don’t believe any serious governmental personality or professional would support it.”[27]
Even though Cuomo and everyone else were saying a few weeks ago shut it down, now he is criticizing Trump for extending the quarantine, even threatening to sue the President.
- “I’ve sued the federal government many times by the way over the past few years, we’ve had quite a number of policy decisions,”[27]
Again, why was he so adamant about shutting everything down and now thinks it makes "no sense"?
- "So, I think it makes absolutely no sense and I don’t believe any serious governmental personality or professional would support it.” [27]
Is Cuomo sharing Mt Sinai's new evidence and test results from Mt Sinai with the president and his advisors? Or is he baiting the president as a political rival?
- “Look, if the president was considering this, I guarantee he would have called me. I mean, we talk about relatively trivial matters when it comes to dealing with this situation,” Cuomo said. This is a civil war kind of — this is civil war kind of discussion.”[27]
I do not care about their politics, only the truth. Because the truth, whatever it is, will set you free.
Where is wisdom?
Why are so many willing to plunge the nation, and even the world, into a depression that kills many businesses and shoves millions onto welfare for what could be the next several generations?
Banks are closing their doors, changing their rules and removing longstanding safeguards and controls. Cash is rejected out of fear because it might carry a virus while the "printing presses" are fired up ushering in a future of inflation and a virtually cashless society.
Millions more will be transformed from productive workers into bitter takers, causing a faster implosion of our already mathematically impossible welfare state. In the subsequent depression, many people may die due to poverty, and despair with suicide rates and crime rising even higher.
Courts can now delay your trial for a year or more and your day in court facing your accuser can be diminished to a mere video link.
People are quarantined in their home by media hype, misinformation and politicians who do not respect the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of the individual, but only their own power. They are so drunk[28] on the power and the vanity of their office they have become blind guides. People may claim to care about their personal loss of freedom but not the loss of their neighbors' liberty. They have given away their rights and power because of their own personal sloth toward the love of righteousness, and the avarice of the people in their personal desire for benefits and security.
The world has come to a place were doctors, bureaucrats and politicians casually talk about going house to house and taking out people who they say are infected and retaining them against their will under the guise of public safety. It seems to have worked quite effectively to shut down the business, jobs, and livelihoods of the people by the millions with words of fear.
I have heard men and women say they would choose to get sick and die rather than take away the livelihoods of their children and the future of their grandchildren. But they are few and far between.
Most of the people, having grown accustomed to feeding at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, are more than willing to institute the rule of violence. This, of course, is because they have had an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence through the power of men who exercise authority one over the other.
Christ preached the opposite of those covetous practices and condemned the Corban of the Pharisees. This means that there is significant blame that can be placed on the modern Church which has failed and even refused to preach the whole Gospel of the kingdom. They have replaced the way of faith, hope and charity with fealty, fear, and force. They have abandoned the daily ministration of righteousness and love offered by the early Church who rightly divided bread from house to house for the wages of unrighteousness offered by the welfare state and became workers of iniquity getting the people to believe a lie for they have become the false prophet of the beast.[29]
I do not know how this will all end but I know those who are willing to drink the blood of their neighbor or to take a bite of their neighbor will come to poverty.[30]
The flesh and blood of Christ is a product of charity and love while the sacrifices of the world which provide their free bread make you merchandise and curse children.[31]

Italy
For months, Italy closed the borders, closed the schools, closed the churches, locked everyone in their houses, closed "non-essential" businesses, limited people's right to travel, freely assemble or even go outside and get fresh air and sunlight, without required permission papers provided by the grace of their government.
We and they were told that their medical system would be overwhelmed if the did not force their whole nation into an economic and social shutdown. What they did not tell you is the Italian socialist medical system is overwhelmed every year during average flu seasons. What they did not tell you is that Italy has one of the largest elderly populations per capita in Europe. What they did not tell you is that epidemiologists warned if you slowed and delayed the novel virus's natural progression in society you would only prolong its movement and presence in the population which is exactly what has happened in Italy.
Other countries like Sweden, South Korea, Brazil, Germany, etc. had a more open or moderate approach with what appears to be better results.
The UK delayed their quarantine allowing the virus to spread and now, as a result, new blood tests that identify the actual presence of the virus and its antibodies have now revealed that most people are actually immune to COVID 19.
Overwhelmed Systems
Most hospitals are not overwhelmed any more than they are during most flu seasons. Italy is overwhelmed every year and has one of the oldest populations in the EU. New York closed a dozen hospitals in the last ten years and reduced bed count in the ones they have... Yes, it moves fast and it is new so there will be a death rate that is higher than some years. But you do not compare death rates to "confirmed cases" for the coronavirus with "estimated cases" and death rates in previous years which the media and CDC have been doing.
Look at the data from the Diamond Princess cruise ship which was full of elderly people. Far more people have had this virus with little or no symptoms which has allowed it to spread. That is how society develops a robust immune system.
This will become clear if they get good virology tests and we compare outcomes in places like Sweden. But in the meantime, trillions will have been lost and nations will be farther in debt, businesses and lives of millions will be ruined because of fear.
All the dire models were "hypothetical " and are clearly being proved to be wong but the fear remains.
Hospital closures
The overwhelming of systems is a direct result of socialism. Shutting down the economy is more of the same spirit.
12 Groundbreaking Hospitals in NYC That Have Closed by Noah Sheidlower
New York has thrown away 20,000 hospital beds, complicating coronavirus fight By Carl Campanile, Julia Marsh, Bernadette Hogan and Nolan HicksMarch 17, 2020
- New York has lost a staggering 20,000 hospital beds over the last two decades to budget cuts and insurance overhauls,... The cutbacks helping fuel New York’s hospital deficit came in waves.
- In 2006, Gov. George Pataki’s Berger Commission recommended cutting 4,200 hospital beds to trim $1.5 billion from New York’s health care system.
New York’s Ailing Hospitals
- "Albany’s low Medicaid payments have caused many to close."
- "... it’s worth pointing out that the state’s hospital bed shortage is in part due to years of Medicaid mismanagement." https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-yorks-ailing-hospitals-11585179029
Twenty-some hospitals have closed in New York City alone over the last two decades, most located in low-income communities...
Hospital Closures and Medicaid Shifts Took Toll on NYC’s Health
Comparative Lies
UK’s Boris Johnson claimed to be ‘Furious’ With China’s Coronavirus ‘Disinformation Campaign’[32] But what of the disinformation coming to the people through the government and promoted by the media? Boris went on to pledge a day of “reckoning”. But what of the disinformation right before us if we have eyes to see and ears to hear? It has been steadily fed to the people by governments and the media. Disinformation is a politically polite word for misinformation. Or more precisely, a lie. Certainly, there will be a day of reckoning for those who are to blame for lies.
The annual flu, according to the numbers, appears to be twice as deadly as the Covid-19. The death rate for the annual seasonal flu[33] is 0.1%. But numbers available to the government bring the Death rate for Covid-19 from 0.09% to as low as 0.002%.
This is because of the use of "confirmed" numbers, often labeled as "Cases", to calculate the Covid-19 death rate is going to give you a different percent than if you use the total "estimated" numbers.
The video by Ben Swann shows the WHO, the CDC, journalists, and politicians have been comparing "confirmed" numbers or "Cases" to the "estimated" numbers giving an incorrect comparison and advancing the idea that Covid-19 is more dangerous or deadly than the actual seasonal flu and causing a panic amongst people through an incompetent media void of responsible journalism.
Estimated numbers are available although they may vary because they are estimates. But we know from the Diamond Princes analysis that even among people over 60 there was a large number of cases that were moderate to mild and even asymptomatic of COVID-19. As we have shown earlier in our analysis of the Diamond Princes cruise data:
There is a huge difference between calculating death rates using "case" numbers verses "estimate" numbers of a disease. You cannot compare the two without misleading people. If you are a professional and you do then you are lying. "As of February 20, tests of most of the 3,711 people aboard the Diamond Princess confirmed that 634, or 17 percent, had the virus; 328 of them did not have symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Of those with symptoms, the fatality ratio was 1.9 percent, Russell and colleagues calculate. Of all infected, that ratio was 0.91 percent. Those 70 and older were most vulnerable, with an overall fatality ratio of about 7.3 percent."[7] But if you calculate the death rate of the Covid-19 based on actual infections even amongst a population of people over 60 who are the most vulnerable that makes the death rate "in the real world, about 0.5 percent of COVID-19".[7]
Many hospitals have developed a policy of accepting and testing only severe cases and testing only those who were suffering difficulty breathing. That policy drives up the number of cases to deaths ratio and percentage.
We are constantly being told that that COVID-19 is an unprecedented, life-threatening virus to the whole of society, when in fact it appears that it was the quite the opposite. Many of the facts were available if we looked closely and the truth was attainable as a simple grade-school math problem.
But the media worked its magic on the minds of the people who, through the power of fear and suggestion, fell pray to the Lemming Effect and mass hysteria. This allowed the governments of the world to lock down the people of the planet with little or no resistance and crash the personal economy of workers and small businesses by the billions.
We know CEO's and people in the know, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, sold off huge blocks of stocks shortly before this all began, reaping huge profits with more to come.
We also know that members of the US legislature sold off millions of dollars in stocks shortly before the shutdown and the subsequent stock market crash. They and their friend are positioned to make more profit if they start buying just before the governments choose to turn the economy back on. Meanwhile, the people suffer and are drained of their own resources in one of the largest wealth transfer in history.
This has all been made possible by the irresponsible acts of the health institutions who should have known better than to announce to the public skewed numbers and false comparisons of the available data they are paid to analyze. There is certainly plenty of blame to be placed directly on the shoulders of the media who published and promoted this false, erroneous narrative. Their relentless repetition has demonstrated the most incompetent journalism of this century and probably the last. And then there are the politicians who sought private profit, and those who voted themselves a raise while taking away the right of the people to their own lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
Instead of letting the people make their own choices as to how best to quarantine themselves when necessary or deal with the dangers and responsibility of providing for their own health and wellbeing, they chose, with apparent impunity, to seize the lives and liberty of every American and squeeze. There, of course, is someone to blame for this tragic state of affairs, the people themselves.
But there is more because this has never really been about a flu virus but lies and why they were originally told.
What is going on
Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., lead member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force addressing the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in the United States, evidently was aware Back in February that, "If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%."[34] This is less of a threat than the annual flu and he knew it at least back in February. He was in a position to calm the panic but instead chose to promote it by encouraging lies to be spread in the media as truth. Why?
The Oxford study team in the UK and the medical team at Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital in New York have developed machines to test the blood of people and determine not only that they have the virus but if they have ever had it.
It appears from the reports coming from their earliest testing and because people under 40 are far less symptomatic that the death rate of actual infections can be proven to be far less than the 0.5% seen on the Diamond Princes cruise ship, but more like 0.05% or even far lower. But the shutdown continues and has been extended even though this information is and has been readily available.
Even into April the media and the White House and the governors are not informing the people that the death tolls predicted originally were way out of line. Why are they not opening up the economy? What is going on?
By March 27th the president chose to continue to expand the authority of the government, which often diminishes the choices of the people,[35] and even call up troops for the emergency.[36]
Sweden resisted a lockdown, and its capital Stockholm is expected to reach ‘herd immunity’ in the first weeks of May according to top epidemiologists.
Is there something else going on that few people are seeing, that the media is not telling us about> What will happen when things open back up? A bigger spike will be expected amongst the vulnerable age classes within society for those who postponed the natural progression. Add in the suicides, the abuse, the anxiety, the bankruptcy, and economic hardships caused by the shutdown, and the price of these social experiments rises. The UN predicts hundreds of thousands of children will suffer and die because of this shutdown and economic downturn.
If it was not the virus, then what was it?
Is there something more destructive than the virus coming?
Of course, the answer is to repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. That means we should be doers of the word and abide in Christ according to what He Commanded in love and hope.

- ↑ 8.0 8.1 Factors used in calculating contagious spread are R0 and SI. R0 is pronounced “R naught.” The formal definition of a disease's R0 is the number of cases, on average, an infected person will cause during their infectious period. R0 value only applies when everyone in a population is completely vulnerable to the disease. The new coronavirus has an estimated R0 of roughly 2 to 2.5 with Fergison estimating 3.1 and some as high as 3.58 with an 8-fold to 2-fold increase in the reporting rate. This number will immediately decrease as society moves toward heard immunity until this disease can no longer spread through the population.
The serial interval (SI) of an infectious disease represents the duration between symptom onset of a primary case and symptom onset of its secondary cases. Estimates for coronavirus have ranged from 4.4 days to 7.6. The estimated serial intervals as an example have been calculated for influenza A(H3N2) (2.2 days), pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (2.8 days), respiratory syncytial virus (7.5 days), measles (11.7 days), varicella (14.0 days), smallpox (17.7 days), mumps (18.0 days), rubella (18.3 days), and pertussis (22.8 days). - ↑ https://www.ft.com/content/5ff6469a-6dd8-11ea-89df-41bea055720b

- ↑ An alternate translation in context, "9. For no sooner had the knowledge of the jealousy and hatred existing in the citizens against them which is replaced by democracy, emboldened some one to oppose the government by word or deed, than he was sure to find the whole people ready and prepared to take his side. Having then got rid of these rulers by assassination or exile, they do not venture to set up a king again, being still in terror of the injustice to which this led before; nor dare they intrust the common interests again to more than one, considering the recent example of their misconduct: and therefore, as the only sound hope left them is that which depends upon themselves, they are driven to take refuge in that; and so changed the constitution from an oligarchy to a democracy, and took upon themselves the superintendence and charge of the state. And as long as any survive who have had experience of oligarchical supremacy and domination, they regard their present constitution as a blessing, and hold equality and freedom as of the utmost value. But as soon as a new generation has arisen, and the democracy has descended to their children’s children, long association weakens their value for equality and freedom, and some seek to become more powerful than the ordinary citizens; and the most liable to this temptation are the rich. (which degenerates into rule of corruption and violence, only to be stopped by a return to despotism.) So when they begin to be fond of office, and find themselves unable to obtain it by their own unassisted efforts and their own merits, they ruin their estates, while enticing and corrupting the common people in every possible way. By which means when, in their senseless mania for reputation, they have made the populace ready and greedy to receive bribes, the virtue of democracy is destroyed, and it is transformed into a government of violence and the strong hand. For the mob, habituated to feed at the expense of others, and to have its hopes of a livelihood in the property of its neighbours, as soon as it has got a leader sufficiently ambitious and daring, being excluded by poverty from the sweets of civil honours, produces a reign of mere violence. Then come tumultuous assemblies, massacres, banishments, redivisions of land; until, after losing all trace of civilisation, it has once more found a master and a despot."
