it is estimated that 5% to 20% of the population get one of many strains of flu each year and show symptoms strong enough to realize that they have the flu and up to 200,000 are hospitalized from flu complications, with about 36,000 dying from those complications annually.
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.

Coronavirus pandemic or just panic?

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.”  

Average age of those that died are in their 80's and more than half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses. More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease. 300,000 people die every year from obesity. 647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year.

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 near the annual death rate due to flu in the United States.

So, what is the truth?

The number of 17 to 25 million people making medical visits is certainly not the number of cases because most people do not rush to the doctor when they get the flu. The estimate of 38 to 54 million cases is based on those who will show symptoms of the flu and those who go to the doctor.
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 or antibodies 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.

John P.A. Ioannidis, a professor of medicine, epidemiology, and statistics at Stanford University and co-director of Stanford’s Meta-Research Innovation Center.

"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.

On the Diamond Princess cruise ship their laboratory tests were only PCR tests 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."

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" 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."

Reports from the Diamond Princess cruise ship should make it clear that the virus is highly contagious 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" 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.

So many people have likely been exposed and 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, 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, 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 a research team at Oxford 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 us do. Our bodies do so naturally.

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." 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. But only 14,543 cases have been counted with deaths numbering at 759. Which makes the actual death rate only 0.002% for 33,765,086 million people.

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.

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.

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.

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 and then they only let you hear from the ones 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?

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." ~Rahm Emanuel

Delaying herd immunity

Should we be delaying herd immunity by the drastic economic shutdown being imposed by the government?

“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.”

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.”

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.

Antibodies of the Coronavirus

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."

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."

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 opening the economy can begin immediately. It also means all the projected numbers of vast hospitalization is 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 slow down 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.

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.”

Other countries are working on tests for antibodies. We know that the PCR or RT-PCR test is totally inaccurate for identifying the virus or those infected. 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 immunity, as Oxford and LSE agree, then a vaccine will not be as important or needed. This means 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).

• "The coronavirus test is based on PCR, a manufacturing technique. When used as a test, it does not produce a positive/negative 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 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 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.

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."

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."

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, cannot answer. This new equipment can test a person’s blood for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. 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.

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."

During the 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 team.

Reading the article and seeing the fact that they have been secretly testing already, could it be that they are already confirming Oxford'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."

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."

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.”

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."

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 the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the people must take 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 gave power to men with labels like "expert" paraded by the media across the screens of their electronic devices.

Now as 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, Oxford, 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 was 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.”

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 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,”

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.”

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.”

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, removing longstanding safeguards and controls. Cash is more frowned upon because it might carry a virus while the "printing presses" are fired up ushering in a future of inflation and a virtual cashless society.

Millions more will be transformed from productive workers to 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.
