And here’s @cdcgov warning ordinary (non-N95) masks will do nothing to protect you against wildfire smoke because “they do not catch small particles.”
Fun fact: smoke particles are far larger than #SARSCoV2.
Your mask protects… well, no one. pic.twitter.com/sFJzzGNLVa

Ignore the "swamp" comment if it shows up. This is both interesting and damning.

Everyday there is more and more documentation that masks do NOT matter. Perhaps could be detrimental. Breathe the air folks and STOP being sheep. Do you think wearing that mask is going to stop the transmission of this FLU? Countries where masks have born worn are now doing worse than the USA. Do you think it is just going to disappear because people are wearing masks. . .. . . . . or is there just a slight possibility a few germs will survive here and there and that FOREVER. . .. . someone. . . . . . . somewhere .. . . . . is going to have COVID? For goodness sake. The only way get pass this, is through it.

Video from Stockholm, Sweden today.
Can someone explain to me how a country of over 10 million people has less than one death per day without the miraculous power of cloth masks? pic.twitter.com/I5oGeqgGUW

The measures taken by Sweden to curb the COVID-19 pandemic have polarized the media. Sweden, it seems, is like the elephant being examined by the blind men. There is so much to appraise that we can all come away with different conclusions on how it has handled the pandemic. And we can choose to which orange we want to compare Sweden’s apple: the rest of Scandinavia, Europe more broadly, or even the province of Quebec. Sweden is an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord that satiates everyone’s taste for how the pandemic should be managed, and the coverage of its approach is often woven with misinformation and decontextualization.
Before I dove into the so-called “Swedish experiment,” I had heard dire warnings. Sweden had no lockdown. The country, I read, was attempting to reach herd immunity the natural way, by getting everyone infected so that whoever survives is now immune to the disease. And now, months after this grand, reckless experiment on the Swedish population, deaths had gone through the roof, proving that the Scandinavian country best known for ABBA and IKEA had failed to assemble a rational response to the virus. Meanwhile, some conservative news outlets were celebrating the success of Sweden, which had preserved personal autonomy while also, allegedly, saving the economy. So whose Sweden is the correct Sweden?
Sweden is not Hell
The claim that Sweden was playing Russian roulette by betting on herd immunity--by essentially letting the virus run its course--was wrong. Sweden has denied time and time again that achieving herd immunity was the primary strategy. Rather, the country had chosen to enact a sort of voluntary lockdown, and while herd immunity was mentioned as a concept and perhaps even hoped for as a side effect of their approach, it was never the stated goal. The very first month of Sweden’s response to the pandemic saw recommendations familiar to us in Quebec: staying home if sick, frequent hand washing, physical distancing, and avoiding travel unless necessary. Sure, cinemas were briefly open, but attendance was so low their main chain had to close on March 17. Some flights were still operating but mostly to transport essential workers and supplies to remote areas of the country.
The second half of the month of March saw a progression of additional measures, such as a banning of public events with more than 50 people and advice to work from home if possible. It’s just that these measures were voluntary for many reasons. Their public health agency, which called the shots and is meant to be separate from the elected government, did not think it was realistic to keep the population under a prolonged lockdown. They were aiming for a tolerable, long-term adaptation. They also believed that a mandatory lockdown that included closing elementary schools would create a problem with essential workers having to take care of their children at home. Besides, Swedish law does not allow for the quarantining of a whole city or region (although it can be enacted for people or small areas).
Sweden was also accused of ignoring the recommendations of the World Health Organization, but as Dr. Rachel Irwin of Sweden’s own Lund University pointed out in an academic paper on the misinformation surrounding Sweden’s pandemic strategy, their recommendations are not laws. They are a grab bag of binding and non-binding policies and guidance documents that must be adapted to a country’s capacity, context, and situation. Sweden did tailor these recommendations to their reality, and whether or not their interpretation was effective is a better question to ask.
So has Sweden’s approach failed at adequately protecting its population? Media outlets were quick to point to the country’s high death rate from COVID--more than 5,500 people in a country of 10 million, the BBC was reporting in July--but the number of daily new deaths has been going down since late April. Sure, the country’s long summer staycation probably helped but the trend is holding true to this day. There are also many ways of looking at deaths. Stockholm county was reported as having 91 deaths per 100,000 people, but further south the county that includes the city of Malmö clocks in at 15 per 100,000.
Sweden is not Heaven
As for Sweden’s economy, it is predicted to contract by 4.5% this year. Spendings fell 25% (comparable to neighbouring Denmark) and unemployment increased from 7.1% in March to 9% in May. The country’s economy is thus hardly unscathed, though it is important to point out that this economic impact is also tied to trade, which is influenced by how other countries juggle the crisis. An encouraging trade-off might be the attainment of herd immunity in Sweden, when it is estimated about 70% of its population would have protective antibodies against the virus, but blood surveys of residents of Malmö in April estimate that only 4% of the city’s population have those antibodies. The number for Stockholm is 17%.
Some fawning media coverage has been describing life in Sweden as perfectly normal, with Swedes going about their business as if the virus was a figment of the imagination. “If COVID were ‘over’ in Sweden,” Dr. Irwin told me via email, “I wouldn’t have cycled 200 kilometres last week to avoid taking the bus.” Sweden, she tells me, has adapted to a new normal. Using hand sanitizer, meeting friends outdoors to reduce the risk: these new realities are hoped to be sustainable for most people.
Even though I may be painting a rosier portrait of Sweden’s approach than the condemning narrative expressed by some media outlets, a fair amount of criticism is warranted. Workers in long-term care homes complained of a lack of personal protective equipment. Over half of the deaths in Sweden due to COVID-19 happened in care homes for the elderly, which their public health authority conceded was due to a failure on their part. By not highlighting that asymptomatic individuals could be contagious, Sweden’s public health agency may also have been responsible for a false sense of reassurance (their website still claims asymptomatic transmission is “a minor part” in overall transmission). Finally, their stance on face masks is also lukewarm: unclear scientific evidence, they say, so they do not recommend them.
Sweden has a history of being portrayed as either a liberal paradise or an out-of-control hellscape depending on who holds the metaphorical brush. The country’s approach to dealing with the pandemic is being adjudicated prematurely. It’s like we’re looking at a tennis ball in mid-air and trying to figure out who will win the match an hour later. A middle-of-the-road approach may be better in the long run than the more severe, somewhat unpredictable clampdowns that punctuate other countries... or it may not. Time will tell if Sweden’s approach was wise so that we can better prepare for the next pandemic that will inevitably strike our modern world.

A brief short-term lockdown may have been prudent in the beginning to "flatten the curve" and avoid hospitals from being overrun by pats, however the strategy of continuing to lock things down for everybody over the warmer months in the northern hemisphere (especially areas that have winters harsh enough to keep most people indoors) was/is a disaster waiting to happen. Our lovely governor Whitless here in Michigan addressed this by keeping our state locked down well into the summer months, when hospitals were literally begging for pats and laying off staff.
Guess what? People are tired of the lock down and have now gone back to normal behavior, just as we are heading into the "indoor season" again. And our lock down was so severe that few who would contribute to herd immunity and who would have normally had less severe cases over the summer are now ripe for adding to the case count. It is pretty clear that the viral load has a significant impact on the severity of the symptoms, and so a mild exposure for normal healthy adults and children would, in most cases, result in mild symptoms. That is in the process of changing. Do we wonder why cases spiked in southern states over the summer? Two words...air conditioning. Now for the norther part of the United States and Canada...heating season.
The only good thing is that it bought a bit of time and due to President Trump's policies to expedite and promote therapeutics and hopefully a vaccine soon, along with a better knowledge of how the virus responds to various treatments, there is a better chance of lessening the symptoms once somebody has contracted it. Masks will do little to stop it at this point. Lockdown now? Good luck with that!
I'm in good shape here. I have my Dexamethasone, my Ivermectin, and I have been using Multimin 90 on our herd which has high amounts of Zinc. Now to find a source of hydroxychloroquine? If I only had an aquarium...

Discussion thread 12-6-2020 Bogeyfree says: December 6, 2020 at 9:32 am As we know there is one test for COVID that has been adopted across the entire globe and that test is the PCR test. One test controlling everything. Now a large group of scientists are pushing back on the accuracy of this test and if a positive test truly indicts you have the CV. Below is that article. We know the CV first showed up possibly around the end of 2019 right? So why don’t the doctors and scientists simply go get some older blood stored before say June 2019 and test it? My bet is even blood from 2019, 2018 and earlier would all show a positive PCR test, meaning the test is another fraud on the world because CV was not around then. The test as reference in the attachment has significant fatal errors in it according to these scientists. It is time Americans push back on the test and once you expose it was a fraud designed to create fear is when we expose all of these perpetrators. We need to call on PT to order that the PCR test be tested on old blood where we 100% know CV was not present and watch the false positives show up. PCR IMO is rigged just like the election. uncoverdc.com/2020/12/03/ten-fatal-errors-scientists-attack-paper-that-established-global-pcr-driven-lockdown/Reply TheWanderingStar says: December 6, 2020 at 9:53 am One statistic that is never shown or discussed is the number of people who have tested positive, were quarantined and never developed the disease or even symptoms of the disease. Yet we have anecdotal evidence that these situations occur. To gain a complete picture of what is happening requires that these positives be adjusted out in those cases. Bogeyfree says: December 6, 2020 at 10:17 am Sure, the key sentence is…… “When Drosten developed the test, China hadn’t given them a viral isolate. They developed the test from a sequence in a gene bank. Do you see? China gave them a genetic sequence with no corresponding viral isolate. They had a code, but no body for the code. No viral morphology.” Basically never had the real virus to include in their testing makeup is how I read that. They guessed. And what the world has is a test that most likely is giving out massive false positives and most don’t really have the actual CV. They needed numbers to create massive fear so develop a test that delivers massive amounts of positives. Also read about excessive deaths in 2020 vs 2019 or 2018. There are not any. Similar totals with the only difference being they have labeled thousands of thousands of deaths in 2020 as COVID when they vast majority of these people really died from other causes and ailments they had. It is all a massive fraud like the election IMO. One Adam-12 says: December 6, 2020 at 10:11 am PCR cycle settings: 0-30=probable viral load 30-35=gray area of possible but not probable 35-40=meaningless amplified fragments 40=setting recommendation of the CDC 45=setting recommendation of the WHO John Hopkins study: No spike in overall annual deaths in 2020 Decline in deaths of heart attacks, pneumonia, heart disease, influenza By using fraudulent 35+ cycle settings they are merely re-classifying statistically annual deaths that occur as Covid Rigged pandemic Rigged election
