Could Corona Virus lead to a never before crash?

COVID19 PCR Tests are Scientifically Meaningless
Though the whole world relies on RT-PCR to “diagnose” Sars-Cov-2 infection, the science is clear: they are not fit for purpose

Lockdowns and hygienic measures around the world are based on numbers of cases and mortality rates created by the so-called SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests used to identify “positive” patients, whereby “positive” is usually equated with “infected.”

But looking closely at the facts, the conclusion is that these PCR tests are meaningless as a diagnostic tool to determine an alleged infection by a supposedly new virus called SARS-CoV-2.

UNFOUNDED “TEST, TEST, TEST,…” MANTRA
At the media briefing on COVID-19 on March 16, 2020, the WHO Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said:

We have a simple message for all countries: test, test, test.”​

The message was spread through headlines around the world, for instance by Reuters and the BBC.

Still on the 3 of May, the moderator of the heute journal — one of the most important news magazines on German television— was passing the mantra of the corona dogma on to his audience with the admonishing words:

Test, test, test—that is the credo at the moment, and it is the only way to really understand how much the coronavirus is spreading.”​

This indicates that the belief in the validity of the PCR tests is so strong that it equals a religion that tolerates virtually no contradiction.

Scientists discover new drug to combat inflammation caused by COVID-19

According to the researchers, including those from the University of Toronto in Canada, when the two peptides are combined, they work together to penetrate a cell's membrane in order to dampen an acute inflammatory response

Scientists have discovered a new drug which they claim could be useful to combat inflammation of all varieties, an advance that may help in fighting aggravated immune response in respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19. The therapeutic, described in the journal Cell Reports, is called TAT CARMIL1, and is actually a combination of two naturally occurring small proteins, or peptides.

According to the researchers, including those from the University of Toronto in Canada, when the two peptides are combined, they work together to penetrate a cell's membrane in order to dampen an acute inflammatory response.

In the current study, they said the peptide reduced degradation of the protein called collagen by up to 43 per cent.

If deployed early enough, the scientists said, the peptide could reduce some of the worst damage caused by acute inflammatory responses.

They said acute infections, such as those caused by the novel coronavirus, can cause inflammatory responses known as "cytokine storms," -- a term that has gained in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The researchers explained that when the body becomes overwhelmed by infections, such as those caused by influenza, H1N1 or COVID-19, it can release an unregulated flood of molecules called cytokines into the body.

They said when the body becomes overwhelmed by infections such as those caused by influenza, H1N1 or COVID-19, it can lead to the unregulated release of a flood of cytokines into the body -- a natural defense response to an acute infection.

Under such cases, the study noted that infection-busting cytokines can cause severe damage in the body -- everything from holes in the lung tissue to vascular damage and blot clots, with the most acute cases causing death.

According to the scientists, the peptide combines a segment of a naturally occurring protein, CARMIL1, with a peptide "vehicle," TAT, that brings the CARMIL1 directly into the cell.

They said this enables the CARMIL1 to calm the inflammatory storm.

"The CARMIL peptide effectively blocks a family of cytokines, called interleukin1, from signalling and reproducing in vast quantities," the researchers noted in a statement to the press.

They said the study gives the first indication of how these CARMIL proteins are involved with this pathway.

The TAT CARMIL1 peptide, according to the scientists, targets two receptors, sticking to both the cell's surface and its cell substrate, where it adheres to other cells.

"The two receptors necessary for it to work supplies an unusual level of specificity," explained Chris McCulloch, a co-lead of the study from the University of Toronto.

"We think the unusual nature of this pathway might restrict its side effects," McCulloch said.

The scientists believe the therapeutic could be an unusually strong candidate as a potential drug.

Since molecules designed to work in conjunction with this peptide would need to target cells at both receptors, they said it narrows the potential field of candidates from tens of thousands to hundreds.

The research team hopes to track the peptide's effectiveness and working mechanism further in lab studies.

40 years ago, another virus popularised masks of a different kind (HIV). They still don't have a cure or vaccine for that virus.

In Bengaluru, nobody is wearing any mask, the people feel that mask was only enforced by the police, so if the police are not visible, they don't wear mask. If they wear it, it is drooping to cover their chin / beard area.

It doesn't look like people know anything about the virus...

Chennai and Pune are under additional lockdowns... in Bengaluru, seems only a stick will work to control the spread of coronavirus.

See the new cases .. lots of them.. only thing is .. they are not getting much publicity..

Here's another statistic that's not getting much publicity : tests per million population.

We are way behind the world there.

That's why a larger number of detections is significant.

‘Covid-19 could have lingering after-effects in recovered patients’: Study

It was found that after an average of 60 days after reporting their first coronavirus symptoms, 87.4 percent of patients still reported at least one symptom.

Patients who recover from Covid-19 may still exhibit some symptoms later, even months after recovering, a latest study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated. Nnearly 90% of Covid-19 patients who were discharged from a hospital in Rome were still not back to normal an average of two months after becoming ill, researchers said.

The doctors studied 143 adults who had been hospitalized on average for two weeks in the hospital, news agency Reuters reported.

It was found that after an average of 60 days after reporting their first coronavirus symptoms, 87.4 percent of patients still reported at least one symptom - particularly fatigue and shortness of breath. Most of these patients suffered from pneumonia and one in five patients needed help to breathe.

More than half of the patients reported three or more symptoms while about one in four still had joint pain and about one in five experienced chest pain. Nearly 44 percent of the patients said their quality of life was worse now than before they got sick.

The researchers, however, did not have information on patients’ pre-Covid-19 medical problems and called for more research on the long-lasting effects of coronavirus infection.

Currently India is in the top 3 by way of highest new cases everyday. With cases doubling every approx 15 days.. we could be the highest in new infections by 31 July .. ???

Russia has successfully managed to keep the infection rate under control.
