Big Holes in the Covid 'Spike' Narrative

Motorcycle accidents ruled Covid deaths? In the rush to paint Florida as the epicenter of the “second wave” of the coronavirus outbreak, government officials and their allies in the mainstream media have stooped to ridiculous depths to maximize the death count. A television station this weekend looked into two highly unusual Covid deaths among victims in their 20s, and when they asked about co-morbidities they were told one victim had none, because his Covid death came in the form of a fatal motorcycle accident.

Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. In fact the “spike” that has dominated the mainstream for the last couple of weeks is full of examples of such trickery.

Washington state last week revised its Covid death numbers downward when it was revealed that anyone who passed away for any reason whatsoever who also had coronavirus was listed as a “Covid-19 death” even if the cause of death had nothing to do with Covid-19.

In South Carolina, the state health agency admitted that the “spike” in Covid deaths was only the result of delayed reporting of suspected Covid deaths.

An analysis of reported daily Covid deaths last week compared to actual day-of-death in Houston revealed that the recent “spike” consisted largely of deaths that occurred in April through June. Why delay reporting until now?

Ho dear Kiks, you might not be getting that 50% to 100% increase in deaths you are hoping for after all...

'It was always going to backfire': a postcard from Barcelona's second lockdown

‘Barcelona plunged into second lockdown!’ screamed the headlines on Saturday morning. ‘Covid cases soar to 884 in the Catalan capital!’ The truth, as always, was rather less explosive.

After three months enduring one of the world’s tightest lockdowns and with a total death toll of more than 28,000, Spain not only flattened its curve, but managed to bring the number of cases down to a couple of hundred a day by the beginning of June. Since then, however, the ‘new normality’ has seen the country let its guard down, with many of the initial hygiene measures all but abandoned.

Which brings us to Friday, when Catalunya’s regional government warned that things were not going entirely to plan. The numbers are still low, however – that widely quoted figure of 884 turns out to include positive antibody tests (in other words, includes those who may have recovered from the virus some time ago), and refers not to Barcelona, but to its ‘metropolitan area’ – a region that comprises 36 towns and cities....

Coronavirus deaths drop by almost one third in a week, ONS figures show

Fourth week in a row that deaths have fallen below number that would usually be expected at this time of year

Coronavirus deaths have fallen by almost one third in the space of a week, with the virus now accounting for less than five per cent of all deaths, figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show....

Perhaps a hint of where things may go if everyone gets a quantum dot tattoo along with the vaccine:

Last September 2019, an annual summit was hosted by the ID2020 alliance, composed of significant partners from around the world. Microsoft, GAVI (Global Alliance of Vaccines and Immunizations), The Rockefeller Foundation, and a growing number of partners from international governments, universities, and humanitarian relief programs. The entire summit was sponsored by the UN Office of Information Communications Technology, the UN Refugee Agency, the International Telecommunication Union and the Danish Mission to the UN.

The mission of the ID2020 alliance is “Accelerating technology to ensure that everyone in need has access to a unique digital identity as part of their basic human right.”

and, yes, this is to be done at the same time as immunization:

During the 2019 summit, ID2020 announced its latest program “Recognizing the opportunity for immunization to serve as a platform for digital identity, this program leverages existing vaccination and birth registration operations to offer newborns a persistent and portable biometrically-linked digital identity.”

I can see there may be some merit to everyone having their ID indelibly etched into their skin, and it is heartwarming for this to be described as a basic human right, but shouldn’t this process be subject to open, democratic debate and oversight rather than it being imposed through subterfuge and coercion by a small cabal of the most wealthy and powerful people on the planet?

Hmmmn... That reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Ho dear Kiks, you might not be getting that 50% to 100% increase in deaths you are hoping for after all...

Has anyone ever told you that you have a very short attention span and patience?

No?

You have now!

You think...?

I was happy to wait until mid June to prove CoCo wrong on his exchange rate prediction...

...and I'm happy to wait until the end of July to prove you wrong on your 50% to 100% extra daily deaths...

...I was just pointing out that the numbers are not looking good for you with only 9 days to go is all...

How is Sweden’s herd immunity going?

This is how:

Maybe Sweden was right with its ‘mad experiment’

…

One country can look to the winter with less trepidation than most. Last week, a study suggested that 30% of Swedes have built up immunity to the virus. It would help explain why COVID-19 has been fizzling out in Sweden. If a measure of herd immunity also helps them avoid the second wave, Swedenʼs take-it-on-the-chin approach will be vindicated.

“a study suggested that 30% of Swedes have built up immunity to the virus”.

I’m sorry, which study is this?

Then we have this report.

Someone is lying.

How Sweden’s bold ‘herd immunity approach’ on COVID-19 failed


Web Desk July 08, 2020 13:18 IST

Sweden, the Scandinavian nation, under the leadership of Prime Minister Stefan Lofven never imposed a lockdown like many other nations across the world did at the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak. However, Sweden’s different approach of herd immunity did not exactly work in the nation’s favour. In the nation with a population of 1.02 crore, the virus has so far claimed more than 5,420 lives.

Sweden’s central bank expects its economy to contract by 4.5 per cent this year, a revision from a previously expected gain of 1.3 per cent. This is more or less similar to how the damage caused by the pandemic has played out in Denmark, where the central bank expects that the economy will shrink 4.1 per cent this year.

https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2020/ ... ailed.html

I was astonished to hear a piece on this morning's Today programme from the Gates Foundation-funded BBC suggesting that the Swedes may have got it right after all. Following the standard Gates propaganda line in which Sweden's death rate was compared with that of other Nordic countries, against which it looks bad, as opposed to the global figures, against which it looks good, and the fact that deaths in Sweden were highly concentrated in nursing homes, which certainly should not have happened, and were not in the general population was ignored, the report noted a huge drop in fatalities and hospital admissions in Sweden in recent weeks. However much you are conditioned by the propaganda you unquestioningly imbibe to mock the notion of herd immunity in Sweden, if there has been a massive drop in the number of fatalaties, it suggests the Swedes have attained it.
