Jon Stewart once again delivers the potential truth through comedy – so strange how in the beginning it was the narrative to suggest otherwise as crazy conspirator – Jon Stewart On Vaccine Science And The Wuhan Lab Theory – YouTube

Another compelling study showing the value of using Ivermectin as treatment for Covid….so strange so much resistance The mechanisms of action of Ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2: An evidence-based clinical review article | The Journal of Antibiotics (nature.com)

“Considering the urgency of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, simultaneous detection of various new mutant strains and future potential re-emergence of novel coronaviruses, repurposing of approved drugs such as Ivermectin could be worthy of attention.”

Covid is clearly pointing out one needs to be healthy. New study show those getting covid AGAIN – 96% have more than 1 comorbidity Comprehensive characterization of COVID-19 patients with repeatedly positive SARS-CoV-2 tests using a large US electronic health record database | medRxiv

“96% had ≥2 comorbidities.”

“Our study demonstrated a high prevalence of immune compromise, comorbidities, obesity and smoking among patients with repeatedly positive SARS-CoV-2 tests. Despite limitations, including lack of semi-quantitative estimates of viral load, these data may help prioritize suspected cases of reinfection for investigation and continued surveillance.”

Strong immune system is one that is used – Yale identifies common cold virus boost defense against Covid – Common cold combats COVID-19 | YaleNews

“Exposure to the rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, can protect against infection by the virus which causes COVID-19, Yale researchers have found.

In a new study, the researchers found that the common respiratory virus jump-starts the activity of interferon-stimulated genes, early-response molecules in the immune system which can halt replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within airway tissues infected with the cold.”

Brazil leads in confirmation. India leads in death. Death per capita continues to be relatively low across the world ~0.2%…..so US 300 Million = 600K certainly not a small number but on an odds of dying it is relatively small….first you have to get covid – that is 10% chance in US – then under 2% chance to die from it and hopefully treatment improves and that number falls. Also the data shows if you get healthy you can improve your odds.

Death has been jumping up for India

Perhaps a summer spike in Confirmation in TX and CA – it has been hot. Ventilation is key….

Not many hotspots which shows that it’s a general distribution across states
