Flubros and Flubras! Day 161 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

It looks like in much of the world the criteria to end the lockdown revolves around the percentage of tests that are positive. The WHO recommends the lockdowns stay in place until the percentage of positive tests goes below 5%. According to John’s Hopkins much of the US is over 5% except for much of the Northeast which is under 5%. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states/connecticut

The issue with these tests is that perhaps 90% of positives have so little virus that the person is both asymptomatic and not contagious. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/news/science/is-your-coronavirus-test-positive-maybe-it-shouldnt-be-/amp_articleshow/77831794.cms These tests are too sensitive and provide false positives. This is causing needless quarantines and, going back to the paragraph above, causing a continuation of the lockdowns. Republican governors are so scared to “reject the science” that they are holding to nonsense WHO standards and faulty CV tests.

I just want a Republican politician to say that he rejects the science because the scientists are full of crap.

Why won’t websites show up as hyperlinks in the body of the thread? Is there a trick?

How do you remove evil in power unless you reveal the ultimate truth?
It must be compelling to avoid a divide (political attack/optics).
We are the majority and growing.
Worldwide.
Sheep no more.
TOGETHER.

One of my daughters, aged 39, and her husband both got the virus and got sick. Flu-like symptoms. But here is the thing: They are political liberals.

So, I asked her if she got her doctor to prescribe hydroxychloroquine and she snapped back that she will not take that stuff.

She’ll be fine because of her age and her diet, etc. But her attitude proves that politics could have killed her (if she was not so healthy).

don’t think Dr. Kaur specifically mentions zinc, but she might be suggesting it when she says “combo”:

30 Aug: Sky News Australia: Outsiders: Clinical trials show Hydroxychloroquine is ‘safe’ with no reported toxicity
Concerned Ontario Doctors President Dr Kulvinder Kaur Gill says contrary to the media narrative, potential COVID-19 treatment Hydroxychloroquine is a “safe and generic medication” approved 65 years ago which is sold over the counter.

Dr Gill pointed out while Hydroxychloroquine as been criminalised in some Australian states, it has been clearly listed on the World Health Organisation’s page of essential medications for an extended period of time.
“When used in the appropriate dose, there has been no reported cardiac toxicity in all the clinical trials and studies done in COVID-19 patients to date,” she said.

“A study published recently in the Journal of Electrocardiology found no clinically significant changes in the non-ICU COVID-19 patients when they were treated with a five-day Azithromycin-Hydroxychloroquine combo”.
She also highlighted a “peer reviewed systematic publication that actually showed that HCQ is protective to the heart as opposed to being harmful”.

The intervention of government into the medical sector which has made the use of hydroxychloroquine unlawful in some developed countries is unprecedented and reveals how politicised the pandemic has become, Dr Gill said.
“Doctors have always had the ability to prescribe existing approved medications for non-indicative conditions”.

The CDC disagrees with you, but the Marxists agree.

You discover you are a tool yet?

a final note re Berlin protest over covid restrictions. had seen comments under youtubes saying half a million, a million attended, but cannot verify. however, interesting RT Germany mentions 2 million. this would be spread out around Berlin, it seems:

(translation)
29 Aug: RT Germany: Berlin2908: “We are not Covidiotes” - tens of thousands of people demonstrate at the Victory Column
According to police spokesman Thilo Cablitz, there are “tens of thousands” of people listening to the speakers on the Great Star alone by the Victory Column. Although there are no reliable figures on the total number, ***some speak of an upper limit of two million people who gathered in Berlin today and protest against the Corona measures, but also against the federal government itself...

31 Aug: news.com.au: Sam Newman urges 250,000 Melburnians to protest stage four restrictions
Outspoken AFL personality Sam Newman and others are being “actively investigated” for encouraging anti-lockdown protests.
by Alexis Carey
Former Footy Show star Sam Newman and others are being “actively investigated” by police for encouraging a quarter of a million Melbourne residents to protest against Stage Four lockdown...
Victoria Police told 7 News they were “actively investigating those responsible for coordinating and encouraging protest activity on Saturday”.

“Victoria Police expects to make further arrests over coming days in respect to individuals suspected of inciting illegal activity,” police said in a statement. “Organising and participating in this protest would be a serious and blatant breach of the Chief Health Officer’s directions and jeopardises the health of the entire community.”...

Newman, 74, could face the same fate as a number of other Victorians who have attempted to organise protests in recent months.
Last week, a 76-year-old Windsor man and alleged organiser of the same proposed “Freedom Day” rally on September 5 was arrested and charged with incitement.
It comes after police raided the homes of a 41-year-old Mooroolbark man and a 41-year-old Chirnside Park earlier this month for allegedly planning a protest, seizing mobile phones and a computer...

This hoax appears to running its course. Expect for the empire to strike back before the election with a fresh round of scare porn. Meanwhile, Twitter deleted a post by the President when all he did was quote the CDC.

Someone needs to email the CDC’s new info to the Oklahoma State Health Dept., which has resumed its scare tactics of breathlessly reporting hundreds and hundreds of alleged “new cases” every damn day, and anywhere from 1 to 15 or so deaths per day.

They’ve also stopped putting that little blurb in the body of the Channel 9 website about “none of the reported deaths occurred in the last 24 hours”.

Guess even Oklahoma has its own version of the Deep State. They appear to WANT the fear, uncertainty, etc. to continue. (Or, maybe they just haven’t received the CDC info yet.)

Might be as high as a 90% false positive rate. This was a hoax to get the #badorangeman. As his re-election is looking better and better, the hoaxes are falling apart.

They sure were TOGETHER in London Saturday...here's a fun speech from that 'anti-mask/anti-lockdown/pro freedom rally ...as President Trump would say 'Enjoy'! (Banned by YouTube, of course.) There was another huge rally in Berlin, as well.

Local media is pulling the same stunt in Tennessee...and I suspect the same applies to MOST of the local media outlets all across the country.

What they really want is to lock down the country again in an attempt to stop Trump’s pending re-election and/or to preserve their vast, new, self-anointed omnipotent (confirmed by the Roberts USSC) powers which they so enjoy exercising over their state’s commoners.
