Golden Globes Superspreader

Posted on by Thor

The hands down winner at the 2023 Golden Globes Award Ceremony is COVID-19. In the spirit of “the pandemic is over”, more COVID-19 infections were handed out to the mask less crowd than awards at the Golden Globes on January 10, 2023. LA County where the awards were held had recommended mask mandates to help stop the spread of the virus. Despite this the privileged felt it was their right to spread disease at the ceremony.

Jamie Lee Curtis proudly announced on the red carpet that “We are out of COVID” just prior to being infected.  So far, Jamie Lee Curtis, Colin Farrell and Brendon Gleason, ans Jen Statsky, have have tested positive after the ceremony. Michelle Pfeiffer, tested positive before the ceremony and did not attend.  Jamie Lee Curtis  also pointed out that “life is short and precious” and COVID has trimmed 10 years off of every American’s life expectancy. Lisa Marie Presley attended the Golden Globes and died of a cardiac arrest days later.

Curtis took to social media to announce the results, posting a picture of three positive rapid antigen tests and sharing that she would be sitting out of some other upcoming award season events. According to the CDC, it can take up to 10 days for COVID-19 to develop once a person is exposed, and it’s possible to spread the virus before becoming symptomatic—so while Curtis tested positive Friday, it’s possible that the actress could have been contagious at the January 10, 2023 in-person award show.

With hardly anyone in attendance wearing a mask and over 11,000 reported cases in Beverly Hills (where the ceremony took place), the Golden Globes had all the makings of a “super-spreader” event, and some say it’s only a matter of time before more stars fall ill—especially as stars return to the social award circuit. Many of the infected will soon be going to Sundance for another super spreader. After many stars see the back lash from early COVID positive tests being announced, I suspect many will sweep their positive tests under the rug.

One actress, Jessica Chastain, wore a sequined mask that went beautifully with her sequined gown. Shockingly she was not infected at the Golden Globes super spreader. Of all the photos I saw from that evening, hers is the only mask I saw. The awards show was also a dinner, so stars chowed down on food and drink with open mouths as they shouted across the table at each other. It is amazing that people feel they can remove the mask to eat as if the virus will pause at that moment. A full list of the infected from the Golden Globes is slowly coming to light.

Los Angeles County reported 1,534 new infections and 25 additional virus-related deaths, bringing the county’s cumulative totals to 3,659,260 cases and 34,969 fatalities since the pandemic began. Health officials have stressed, however, that the official number of cases is an under count, due to the large number of people who rely on at-home tests without reporting the results to the county. Other people don’t test at all, despite being possibly infected. The county is also averaging 23 new COVID related deaths per day. I am amazed I need to say this, but the pandemic is not over people.

Child COVID Resevoir

Posted on by admin

Children spread COVID-19. Children’s ability to fight off infections of all kinds is damaged for months by COVID. We are forcing them to catch the virus repeatedly.

Babies under age 1 might be at higher risk of severe illness with COVID-19 than older children. Newborns can get COVID-19 during childbirth or by exposure to sick caregivers after delivery. If you have COVID-19 or are waiting for test results due to symptoms during your stay in the hospital after childbirth, wear a well-fitting face mask and have clean hands when caring for your newborn. Keeping your newborn’s crib by your bed while you are in the hospital is OK, but maintain a reasonable distance from your baby when possible. When these steps are taken, the risk of a newborn getting COVID-19 is low. However, if you are severely ill with COVID-19, you might need to be temporarily separated from your newborn.

Infants who have COVID-19 but no symptoms might be sent home from the hospital, depending on the circumstances. It’s recommended that the baby’s caregivers wear face masks and wash their hands to protect themselves. Frequent follow-up with the baby’s health care provider is needed — by phone, virtual visits or in-office visits — for 14 days. Infants who test negative for COVID-19 can be sent home from the hospital.

Children with COVID-19 might have many symptoms, only a few symptoms or no symptoms. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 in children are cough and fever. Possible signs and symptoms include:

  • Fever
  • Cough that becomes productive
  • Chest pain
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Changes in the skin, such as discolored areas on the feet and hands
  • Sore throat
  • Nausea, vomiting, belly pain or diarrhea
  • Chills
  • Muscle aches and pain
  • Extreme fatigue
  • New severe headache
  • New nasal congestion

Anyone who has had COVID-19 can develop a post-COVID-19 condition. Research suggests that children with both mild and severe COVID-19 have experienced long-term symptoms. The most common symptoms in children include:

  • Tiredness or fatigue
  • Headache
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Cough

These symptoms could affect your child’s ability to attend school or do his or her usual activities. If your child is experiencing long-term symptoms, consider talking to your child’s teachers about his or her needs.

INFECT and KILL

Attack Big Bird, attack Mickey Mouse, attack M&M’s candy, that is the moral high ground the right wing media use to distract from over two thousand deaths a week in America due to COVID-19. The latest distraction campaign involves attacking M&Ms choice to promote 3 colors of candy, Purple, Brown and Green which equates to the the candy’s trio of female characters. The packaging shows the female characters upside down with the tag line,  to “celebrate women everywhere who are flipping the status quo.”

The advertising campaign works to create a world where everyone feels they belong,” said Gabrielle Wesley, chief marketing officer for Mars Wrigley North America, in a press release. In a world of hate, such a message can not be tolerated. The all-female pack quickly sparked “culture wars” outrage on right-wing news networks and on social media. One anchor said the feminist-forward pack emboldens China. Apparently there is such a thing as “woke” candy. There seems to be outrage over the characters new boots as well. I just don’t get it. None of it makes sense. It is smoke and mirrors.

In the real world, Omicron variants continue to spread world wide, resulting in the World Health Organization (WHO) advising countries worldwide to “consider recommending” that passengers wear masks on long haul flights.  The United States is the hot bed for the new highly transmissible Karkan variant (XBB.1.5). WHO wants to save the world from America’s stupidity and ignorance as the virus once again spreads across America. All domestic flights in America were grounded on January 11, 2023.

 

COVID Resistance is NOT Futile

Posted on by Thor

COVID-19 resistance is futile. The infected want to see you infected. Some think it is their moral obligation to make sure you become infected. From the top down humanity is being sacrificed to help corporations and the economy. It started with a campaign to infect all children. That campaign is close to completion with 98% of children in the United States infected.

When the COVID Borg see any individual taking any form of protection from the virus they move in to infect any soul that still thinks for themselves. Masks are a sure sign that you are a thinking, sentient being, and not a part of the mindless collective. Personally I am upgrading to a quality N95 mask but you, do you if you fear being different.

Mass infection is being promoted under the false theory of “immunity debt“. The idea behind this, is that children should get infected to pay the debt for adults inability to follow simple health precautions. People were told the lie that children are perfectly safe from the virus and they were sent back to crowded poorly ventilated, classrooms to infect one another. Those children then went on to infect their parents and grand parents. The children will suffer the same consequences of repeat infections of COVID, with damage to lungs, blood vessels, heart and mind. They might not die immediately but their life expectancy is being diminished.

People were told the lie that an infection would build immunity. They are being encouraged to get sick to become healthy. Amazingly some people believe this sort of insane reasoning. The problem is that immunity is short lived and second and third infections result in increasingly worse outcomes. Immune systems are being destroyed by the virus making infections to other pathogens like the flu and RSV more common and with worse outcomes.

Some Borg try to claim that COVID is natural and therefor good for you. Infectious diseases are natural, but they aren’t good for you. If avoiding the pathogen all together is not a viable option, the next best option is to get the immunity without getting the infection. That’s what vaccines do.

Someone should explain to the Borg that herd immunity is impossible. Since so many people have been convinced to not get vaccinated the virus will be around forever. There remain plenty of people to infect. The previously infected and vaccinated are both being re-infected. The only difference is that the vaccinated are not having to go to hospitals. Only a precious few have remained uninfected. So when does the nightmare end. The fast is, as long as COVID minimizes keep spinning their lies, it doesn’t.

Animal Reservoirs

Some have theorized that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 was circulating widely in populations of mice before it found its way back into human hosts. That would explain why the variant was so completely different that the previous variants of COVID. It came out of left field, unrelated to strains of the virus that had been mutating in the human population.

Humans as a rule tend to think of themselves as the center of the universe. They are however only a fraction of the life on the planet. Scientists have known for a long time that animals can catch COVID-19. However research has been scant as to exactly which animals have contracted the virus and more importantly how often animals have passed the virus back to humans.

Undoubtedly people have passed the virus to their pets as they become infected multiple times. COVID may have infected over 500 other mammal species. Humans have become complacent about the virus spreading from human to human so of course there is little concern about the virus spreading among animals. The only problem is that the virus tends to mutate differently in other mammals. COVID is not a human virus it is a virus that attacks many species. Mutants of the virus could become more transmissible but no one knows it that has happened.

17 million mink were murdered in Finland in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. China began killing pet store hamsters in another effort stop the spread. It is fascinating how murder is often considered the best solution to a public health issue. Animals who get the virus are often asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. That is another reason people seem blissfully ignorant of this issue.

White tailed deer in America have been rather susceptible to the scourge of the virus. Since hunters wander the woods to kill the deer they might be the ones spreading the disease to the deer population. Researchers test some of the deer killed and an amazing number are infected. Of 481 deer tested, 30% were infected. Another surprise is the the variants found are different that those circulating among humans. One bit of advice to hunters is that they should not eat the brains of their kill.

Sars Ani-Vis has built a site that shows the animal species that are becoming infected and where they are found. The deer population in America has the largest number of documented cases followed by dogs and cats. The numbers however are very small compared to the millions of humans that have died from COVID-19. Not many researchers are following this lead. There is probably not much money in knowing animals are getting infected.

Multi System Cluster Bomb

Research led by Monash University has highlighted the need for General practitioners and physicians to know the COVID history of patients they treat. The study published in MJA looked at hospitalizations that had causes other than respiratory complications. COVID-19 is not a simple respiratory disease. CODID is not a cold or the flu.

Data from laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases prior to the vaccine rollout were compared to hospital admission data prior to Omicron. “The incidence of hospitalization within 89 days of onset of COVID-19 was higher than during the baseline period for several conditions, including myocarditis and pericarditis, thrombocytopenia, pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction.” Simply stated “there are considerable risks associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection beyond the initial COVID-19 illness”, said epidemiologist and PhD candidate Stacey Rowe.

“You are 15 times more likely to acquire myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) requiring hospitalizations following COVID-19 compared with beforehand,” she said. “Things like heart attacks, or acute myocardial infarction occur quite proximally to getting COVID infection, but other conditions such as the clotting conditions – pulmonary embolism, for example — that risk was highest later in the course of COVID illness, highest around 14 to 60 days following COVID illness.”

COVID-19 is a multi-organ disease, it’s not just a respiratory infection. Rowe and colleagues recommend vaccination and “other mitigation strategies”. You are better off not getting COVID. The problem of course is that Americans are done with mitigation strategies of any type. In a pandemic, 15% of people make decisions that help, 15% make decisions that hinder their survival, the rest just follow the herd. The herd has decided to let the virus rip.

COVID Lung Damage

Posted on by Thor

Lungs are the main organs affected by a COVID-19 infection. A study published in Radiology showed that there is Persistent Lung Damage after recovering from COVID-19. The study of COVID’s long term effects are being studied as more people suffer from Long COVID. Researchers in Germany evaluated changes in lung structure and function in 54 pediatric COVID-19 survivors and nine healthy controls aged 5 to 17 years using low-field MRI. Twenty-nine patients (54%) had recovered from their infections, 25 (46%) had long COVID, and all but one were unvaccinated at the time of infection. Four COVID-19 patients had asymptomatic acute infections. The study findings show that lung abnormalities persist among children who have experienced COVID-19 illness.

Long COVID can cause lingering health problems and wreak havoc for months. Long COVId can include symptoms like, shortness of breath, fatigue and brain fog. The symptoms can come and go, but have an impact on the person’s everyday functioning, and cannot be explained by another health problem. Long COVID can happen in people who have mild symptoms. COVID can cause damage to the lungs, heart, nervous system, kidneys, liver and other organs.

A bad case of COVID-19 can produce scarring and other permanent problems in the lungs but even mild infections can cause persistent shortness of breath — getting winded easily after even light exertion.

Many people recovering from COVID-19 suffer from long-term symptoms of lung damage, including breathlessness, coughing, fatigue and limited ability to exercise. COVID-19 can lead to inflammation in the lungs due to the infection and the immune system’s reaction to it. The inflammation may improve over time, but in some people it persists. Lung recovery after COVID-19 is possible, but takes time. Experts say it can take months for a person’s lung function to return to pre-COVID-19 levels. Breathing exercises and respiratory therapy can help.

COVID Disenbarks

A cruise ship with 800 COVID-19 infected passengers docked in Sydney, Australia. The Majestic Princess cruise ship was about half way through the scheduled cruise when the infection spread among the passengers and crew like a wildfire. There were 4,600 passengers and crew passengers and crew on board. Infected guests were isolated in their staterooms being separated from non-infected guests.

The infected passengers were escorted off the ship and “advised” to isolate for five days. What passenger will self isolate when they are on vacation? You can bet the infected are rushing out to every restaurant and crowded venue in Sydney. They will justify their mindless and violent, act saying they are only mildly infectious.

This seems to be the new normal, knowing that you will likely be infected when you book your dream horror cruise. The New South Wales Ministry of Health has recorded 19,800 new cases of Covid-19 and 22 deaths in the past week. In America, the new normal is over 300 deaths due to COVID every day.

At least three other ships within the company’s Princess fleet, the Ruby Princess, Diamond Princess, and Grand Princess – experienced outbreaks earlier in the pandemic. A spokesman for Carnival Cruises said, Fuck the health of the passengers, they are mindless brain eating zombies, give us your god damn money.

Citizen COVID

The undisputed winner of the mid term election is COVID-19. COVID won the race in an undisputed red wave. Regardless of which party dominates Congress and the Senate, they are both down playing the ongoing pandemic. The cost of vaccines will no longer be covered by the government but will cost about $130 per jab.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned of a shortage occurring for COVID-19 rapid tests. In this advisory, the CDC advised diagnostic service providers to expect an increase in the demand for laboratory-based COVID-19 testing due to a shortage in supply for both point-of-care testing and rapid testing for COVID-19.

There is currently a temporary shortage in point-of-care and over-the-counter test supplies. To help preserve rapid test kits and supplies and meet the current test demand, CDC recommends the use of laboratory-based testing whenever possible.

As the election approached every candidate held packed election rallies which of course are fabulous venues to spread the virus since no one masks anymore. Passive conventionalists pretends the pandemic is over but it is not. The herds press together but there is no herd immunity.

President Joe Biden seems to think that Americans care about only one thing, and that is the price of gas. He may be right. He went on to announce that he felt the pandemic was over. All United States government efforts to curtail the coronavirus have disappeared. Mask mandates have been lifted on public transit. Public health agencies are being crippled by conservative law makers.

The White House and the CDC have framed COVID as a problem for individuals, but informed action is hard when cases and hospitalizations are underestimated, most testing sites have closed, and the over optimistic CDC guidelines downplay the coronavirus’s unchecked spread. COVID has won.

COVID Happily Ever After?

Posted on by Thor

The COVID-19 pandemic had played out like a fairy tale for most people. In the first act normal everyday life was interrupted by a dark and deadly mythical creature. In the second act heroic scientists helped the millions of people who were dying by creating an invincible vaccine. For many, once they took the vaccine, the story was over, they were vaxed and done and life returned to normal. Masks came off and everyone huddled together indoors to comfort one another, and spread the disease.

However the vaccines do not actually protect against infection, it protects against hospitalization and death. There is also another segment of the population who decided that vaccines were a hoax and they refuse to ever get vaccinated. There is plenty of human wood for the COVID forest fire to continue to burn through.

We are in a relative calm right now, but hospitalizations have begun to climb again due to immune evasive new variants. No one knows how high the next infection wave will rise this winter. Flu which has been on the sidelines because of social isolation and masking is now coming back with a renewed vengeance along with RSV. This winter promises a triple whammy of infections.

The other factor is that the immediate threat from a COVID infection is not always apparent at the first flush of infection. Cardio vascular disease, diabetes, blood clots, along with heart disease, and brain problems are being discovered months and even years after the initial infection.

So just how many people have died due to the pandemic so far? The pandemic directly or indirectly caused 14.9 million deaths in 2020 and 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on May 5, 2022, in its newest attempt to quantify the outbreak’s toll. That’s around 2.7 times more than the 5.42 million COVID-19 deaths the WHO says were previously reported through official channels in the same 2-year period. Over 2,000 Americans continue to die each week from COVID-19 and this seems to have become the accepted new normal.

On top of this, excess deaths are on the rise. Excess deaths are the number of deaths above what would be expected over a 5 year average. Excess deaths are happening in every age group.  The number of excess deaths today is higher that the number of deaths from COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic lockdown. For some reason no one is reporting about this rise in excess deaths. My concern is that these deaths could be the result of the after effects from COVID infections. There is likely collateral damage. I however an not a scientist, so don’t take my word on that point. It is just my suspicion. The long term effect of COVID infections are only now being discovered. And the media remains silent.
