The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared that all coronavirus screening in public schools must be “voluntary,” warning that compulsory testing is a violation of both ethics and the law. In a new set of guidelines for testing in K-12 schools earlier this week, the CDC noted that administrators are required to obtain consent from parents or guardians before testing students. “If a school is implementing a testing strategy, testing should be offered on a voluntary basis,” the CDC said. It is unethical and illegal to test someone who does not want to be tested, including students whose parents […]

Three days after being flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center because of the severity of his COVID-19 infection, President Donald Trump announced that he will leave the hospital—and urged people not to fear the virus that has already killed more than 200,000 Americans. “I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M.,” Trump tweeted on Monday afternoon. “Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!” The […]

After months of downplaying the danger of COVID-19, President Trump and the first lady tested positive, and on Friday the president was taken to the Walter Reed Medical Center “for the next few days” as “a precautionary measure.” On Saturday, a series of confusing and conflicting updates, on and off the record, about the president’s condition landed on top of the confusion spread by the president about the virus. He’s not the first national leader to be stricken with the virus and, when he recovers, the question may be which example he follows: that of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro or British […]

Every once in a great, great while, life is more delicious than you’d dared to hope. I was reading early Wednesday afternoon about what may be the big scoop from Bob Woodward’s new book on the Trump administration: that on February 7, while Trump was pooh-poohing the virus publicly, he told Woodward: “This is deadly stuff.” In fact, five times as deadly as the normal flu, he said. There’s no denying that Trump said this; lordly, there are tapes. So I asked myself the question that any journalist would : What was Trump saying publicly on that day? When the president […]

New research has discovered that coronavirus tests may be finding traces of dead virus cells from weeks-old infections, resulting in false positives that inflate the scale of the pandemic. The study was carried out by experts from the University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and the University of the West of England. It found there was a risk of “false positives” because of how Covid-19 testing is being conducted. The scientists discovered that, despite people with Covid-19 being infectious for only around a week, one test used to detect the disease can still give a positive reading weeks after the […]

Guest post by Lawrence Sellin, PhD From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus identified as the causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, has been consistently described as “novel” because of its unique structural features. Also since the onset of the pandemic, the conventional wisdom concerning the origin of SARS-CoV-2 has been that it was a naturally-occurring outbreak, acquired by humans after exposure to infected animals, a conclusion aggressively promoted by the Chinese Communist Party, supported by some Western scientists and endlessly regurgitated by the left-leaning global media. That narrative is not only unproven, but much of the scientific data being used to […]

The pandemic virus is slowly mutating. But is it getting more dangerous? by Kai Kupferschmidt/sciencemag.org It’s only a tiny change.

It is found in the vast majority of newly sequenced viruses and has become the center of a burning scientific question: Has the mutation become so common because it helps the virus spread faster? Or is it just coincidence? More than 6 months into the pandemic, […]

A cell that has less functions available to it, will be a target for mutations. When the cell structure is not cluttered with devices it can change more easily and survive those changes. Viruses do not have the ability to even reproduce themselves. Thus, they hijack other cells and use those cells to make more of themselves/replicate. A virus can mutate quite easily.

Today we see that restriction has been adjusted. But on the US side, not much has changed from the Trump team tactic of making allegations that the virus came from the Lab, but never offering any evidence week, after week. This is something we have gotten accustomed to from the Trump […]
_________HurriyetVirus expands grip in many areas, as US nears 100,000 deaths South Korea reported its highest number of new coronavirus infections in weeks on May 27 and India reported another record single-day jump of more than 6,000 cases, as the pandemic expanded its grip across much of the globe. Still, optimism over reopening economies from business shutdowns to fight the virus spurred a rally on Wall Street, even as the official U.S. death toll approached 100,000. Outbreaks are still climbing in much of the Americas, while many countries in Asia and much of Europe are making steady progress in containing the […]
_________The Daily Beast by Clive Irving Where are the billionaire tech innovators when we need them? America’s health security has to be rebuilt from the ground up. We’re in a war for survival. The skills and systems essential to win that war are known. It’s no use looking to the White House to grasp this reality. Trump has no concept of what a wartime grand strategy looks like. He can never see beyond the daily news cycle. And we really do need a long-term grand strategy to beat this virus. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, […]
Michael Zamora and Ben de la Cruz/NPR YouTube Scientists have learned a great deal about how the novel coronavirus spreads. But one of the mysteries they’re still trying to untangle is where the virus, known as SARS-CoV-2, came from in the first place. Scientific evidence points overwhelmingly to wildlife — and to bats as the most likely origin point. Bats are critically important for pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds. They catch bugs, the same ones that bite us and eat some of our crops. But bats also harbor some of the toughest known zoonotic diseases — those caused by germs that […]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace pressed White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx on the rising coronavirus death count, asking Birx if the Trump administration has “underestimated” the strength of the virus as it rushes to fully reopen the economy. With all 50 states now at least partially reopened amid the pandemic and people flocking to beaches and parks to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend, the Fox News Sunday host noted that models have increasingly upped their projections of COVID-19 deaths as states ease social-distancing restrictions. “Early this coming week we’re going to reach 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus […]

The head of Wuhan’s virology institute has debunked the evolving US ‘Wuhan virus’ theory, saying Covid-19 couldn’t have artificially leaked. She said her lab didn’t have the first virus samples until as late as the end of 2019. Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) director Wang Yanyi described the theory – that Covid-19 was a creature of her laboratory – as “pure fabrication.” She explained that the institute was effectively caught off-guard when learning about the newly discovered contagion. “Our institute first received the clinical sample of unknown pneumonia on December 30 last year,” she recalled, in an interview to China’s CGTN […]
Another Bank Bailout Under Cover Of A Virus By Ellen Brown, Web of Debt.

Insolvent Wall Street banks have been quietly bailed out again. Banks made risk-free by the government should be public utilities. When the Dodd Frank Act was passed in 2010, President Obama triumphantly declared, “No more bailouts!” But what the Act actually said was that the next time the banks failed, they would be subject to “bail ins” – the funds of their creditors, including their large depositors, would […]

Daily Beast: A shocking report suggesting that the coronavirus was “release[d from] the Wuhan Institute of Virology” in China is now circulating in U.S. military and intelligence circles and on Capitol Hill. But there’s a critical flaw in the report, a Daily Beast analysis reveals: Some of its most seemingly persuasive evidence is false—provably false. Multiple congressional committees have obtained and are scrutinizing the 30-page report, produced by the Multi-Agency Collaboration Environment (MACE), a part of Sierra Nevada, a major Department of Defense contractor. The report claims to rely on social media postings, commercial satellite imagery, and cellphone location data to draw the conclusion that […]
A pandemic has claimed a million lives despite a vaccine sent from the future, yet EU officials are patting themselves on the back for a good job and mull even more bureaucracy. That is how a comic book published by the EU ends. While there is no shortage of epidemic fiction out there, some titles are more obscure than others. The comic book “Infected” by French writer Jean-David Morvan is not an international bestseller, yet it surely stands out. For one, despite being released in 2012, it features some of the hot-button elements of the real Covid-19 pandemic we are living through […]
SEOUL—The message, accompanied by loud buzzing, flashes on the screens of millions of mobile phones, the headline in red letters in English—“Emergency Alert”—the rest in Korean: “Anyone who has been in Itaewon from April 21 to May 6 should be tested.” For thousands, it’s the next sentence that really counts: “We can test anonymously.” “Coronavirus strikes regardless of people or places.” — Lee Jung-geol, leader of the Rainbow Coalition Against Social Discrimination The reason for the guarantee of anonymity is clear to the hundreds in South Korea’s LGBT community who had flocked to clubs in Itaewon, an historic district of nightlife, […]

Denmark is “very unlikely” to be hit by a second wave of coronavirus, the country’s chief epidemiologist said on Tuesday. Kare Molbak made the statement after the government laid out plans for increased testing and a contact tracing system. The Nordic country, which has 533 coronavirus-related deaths, was the first in Europe to relax its coronavirus lockdown almost a month ago. The infection rate and the number of deaths have continued to drop. Denmark this week began a second phase of relaxing its lockdown which will include reopening of restaurants and shopping malls. “No country has seen an actual second wave […]

With news last week that close aides to President Trump and Vice President Pence tested positive for the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus, speculation led by never-Trumper Bill Kristol has arisen about a scenario where Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), second in the line of succession, becomes president after Trump and Pence are taken down by the virus at the same time. The measured scenarios by the likes of Kristol, Forbes writer Seth Cohen and Just the News’ Nicholas Ballasy envision Trump and Pence being incapacitated by the virus while others hope for a more final transition of power. “Straightforward from […]
Katie Miller, 25, press secretary for Vice President Mike Pence and the wife of senior Trump administration official Stephen Miller, tested positive for the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus Friday. The news of Miller’s test result comes a day after a White House military valet who serves President Trump and his family was reported to also have tested positive for the virus. Newlyweds Katie and Stephen Miller were married on February 16. Trump and Pence both report they have tested negative, with their weekly testing being increased this week to daily testing with the new rapid response Abbott Laboratories test. Trump said Friday […]
