  • About 97.5% of people recover from COVID-19

    I just took a course on immunity and COVID-19 at nutrition-network.org. During the course there was an interesting graphic showing how COVID-19 affects the body and the percentages of severity that people experience when they get infected. I’ve seen these numbers before in other places but I thought this graphic puts it all in a…

  • Hospitals and doctors get a spiff for COVID-19 patients

    It’s always nice to get a pay bump. But in this case we’re the suckers paying the bill. Are the number of infections and deaths related to COVID-19 inflated in order for the hospital systems to cash in because they can’t perform elective procedures?

  • COVID-19 may not be the mass killer it was cracked up to be

    The researchers found that the percentage of infections was indeed vastly larger than the roughly 1,000 known positive cases in the county at the time of the study. The preliminary results—the research will now undergo peer review—show that between 2.5% and 4.2% of county residents are estimated to have antibodies against the virus. That translates…

    Professor Johan Giesecke, an advisor to the Swedish government and one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists is interviewed about Sweden’s non-lockdown response to COVID-19 vs. the rest of the world. I started the clip at the part that makes my point but the entire interview is informative and not fear mongering. There is no…
