Macca if the main point of the article was saying that people should still try to keep on top of their other medical issues as well as COVID risks I would be in total agreement.

Unfortunately that is not what is being said at all. The story attempts to completely undermine the dangers of COVID with misinformation and outright fabrications.

IMV Mercola is a pernacious website run by a man whose history should be examined more closely.

Check this out.

Dr. Joseph Mercola Ordered to Stop Illegal Claims

Stephen Barrett, M.D.
July 27, 2020
Joseph Mercola, D.O., who practiced for many years in Schaumburg, Illinois, now operates one of the Internet’s largest and most trafficked health information sites. Since 2012, Mercola has stated that his site has over 300,000 pages and is visited by “millions of people each day” and that his electronic newsletter has over one million subscribers [1]. The site vigorously promotes and sells dietary supplements, many of which bear his name. It also publishes a steady stream of propaganda intended to persuade its visitors not to trust mainstream healthcare viewpoints and consumer-protection agencies.

He is another b---t artist, millions of visitors a day, not even close to the truth, try maybe a 1000 vistors a day.

For those that don't know what the above is, it is a traffic report for websites and generally fairly accurate.

The truth never lies and data is data.

As for pages on his website, 300,000. Google only recognises :

I realise all of that but I still find his site full of info that is thought provoking and acts as a great spot to find out what is happening in traditional medicine.

An example would be that his site was collecting links that showed that Vitamin D is a very successful defence against the flu and Covid, this has since been proven in quite a few countries.

Most overseas countries do a lot more research than here in OZ and his site is a good way to track them down, unfortunately here in OZ where we have heaps of sunshine, this is still not promoted by the "Health" professionals
 
Macca I have no problem with the research and promotion of Vitamin D as a way to improve health and decrease the effects of some illnesses.

Full stop..
 
Daily COVID deaths in the US now around 2900 mark and rising.
Death toll from 9/11 was 2996. The US is now seeing the equivalent of a 9/11 disaster every day with the pandemic.

In all the discussions on mass testing for COVID the easiest, cheapest and most effective process was sniffer dogs.o_Oo_O

Yep. Easily trained, exceptionally accurate, very cheap. Well proven..

So I wonder why we have not seen these process established for airports, mass transit systems, any place people congregate and one wants immediate results on potentially infected people?

Dogs detect coronavirus fast and reliably — why not use them everywhere?

Why aren't dogs being used to sniff out COVID-19? – DW – 10/21/2020

Finnish researchers say their canine sniffer experts can detect COVID-19 quickly and cheaply but, so far, their skills are hardly used to control the pandemic. Teri Schultz wonders: Who isn't letting the dogs out?

Overall (and the main-stream media (MSN) attacking Sweden because they are going against the status quo), they seem to be right on track with their mortality rate in 2020 as the previous 10 years.

Hmm, who would have thought....

Assuming December and the remains of November are average for the other months I get 93053, But of course the virus is at its worst there right now so I would guess 93,700.
They had it fairly under control till recently and there is a 2 week lag for deaths.

Let's put a calendar reminder to see figures in 3 months then, at the worst case i think we can agree, and i can bet you now it will not be bad either ..
In france, figures show lockdowns are actually not really working and peaks started deflating BEFORE the lockdown..obviously srasonal increase in autumn etc

People will start social distancing as soon as they hear the virus is rampant again. Swedens will drop now as they hear the virus is loose without much government action.

USA is a special case as they have a lot of special people.
 
Rudy Giuliani Has Already Filed 37 Law Suits Against His COVID-19 Infection


Rudy-Giuliani-1-620x348.jpg

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has wasted no time fighting his COVID-19 diagnosis, immediately filing thirty-seven lawsuits in eight different states.

The New-York-mayor-turned-totally-xucking-insane-Trump-lawyer said it was clear that his COVID diagnosis was rigged and demanded that the result be overturned.

“If you only count the legal test results, and you discard the illegal test results, then I don’t have COVID,” he said.

“Don’t you think it is strange that yesterday I didn’t have the coronavirus, and then today, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I do?”

Presenting to a judge in New York, Giuliani’s legal team said they had evidence that their client did not have COVID. When asked to provide that evidence, they conceded that the number of positive tests received by Mr Giuliani was a non-zero number.

In Georgia, a judge allowed for the positive test to be recounted. It remained at one.

Thought I would do an update.

The USA is getting close to 0.1% of the population dying from covid. 1 in a thousand. They are presently officially 0.0894%.

Percentage of population who has caught covid is officially 5% of the population, 1 in 20. Both figures, as is well known, are below the reality.

Only 4.5% of the total deaths occurred to people under 65 without a medical condition.

Source-worldometer. Yesterday's figures.

South Korean filmmaker Kim Ki-duk dies from COVID-19 complications (msn.com)

VILNIUS/SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean filmmaker Kim Ki-duk, a controversial figure both for his work and in his personal life, died in Latvia from coronavirus complications on Friday, a Latvian film official said.
Kim, 59, died at a hospital in Riga, Rietuma told Reuters, citing the director's private secretary.

Kim, who had won awards at the Venice, Cannes and Berlin film festivals, had been staying in the Latvian capital Riga, in a private capacity after travelling to neighbouring Estonia for work, according to Dita Rietuma, director of Latvia's state National Film Centre.
 

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

“The coronavirus is out of control, so we don’t want to do things piecemeal but act decisively,” Bavaria Premier Markus Soeder said alongside Merkel, describing the pandemic as a “catastrophe” and calling for a national effort to tackle it. “If we’re not careful, Germany will quickly become the problem child of Europe,” he warned.
