The WHO is fighting the wrong virus


oops

Recommended Posts

The WHO has based their response to covid19 on the measures taken to overcome the H1N1 pandemic of 1918. Covid19 is not the H1N1 virus of 1918. In the 1918 pandemic one third of the worlds population was infected, and 10% of the infected died. With covid19 one in 107 people have been infected, and less than 4% of resolved cases have resulted in death. In 1918 the deaths occurred in people with strong immune systems ass well as ones with weak immune systems, necessitating a general lock down. Covid19 results in death mostly in elderly people weakened by other ailments. A specific approach of investing in improving our long term care homes would be more helpful.
 

The reason that the 1918 virus caused so many deaths in young healthy people is that it caused a cytokine storm. Covid19 does not.

Scientists have mapped key elements of a severe immune overreaction -— a “cytokine storm” -— that can both sicken and kill patients who are infected with certain strains of flu virus. A cytokine storm is an overproduction of immune cells and their activating compounds (cytokines), which, in a flu infection, is often associated with a surge of activated immune cells into the lungs. The resulting lung inflammation and fluid buildup can lead to respiratory distress and can be contaminated by a secondary bacterial pneumonia -- often enhancing the mortality in patients.
 

Covid 19 is a virus that causes mild to moderate symptoms in most people, and in Canada 99% of people living outside of long term care homes recover from it.
 

The WHO has invested so much time and effort convincing world governments to lock down their citizens and businesses, and so little in actually finding out if that is an appropriate response. So many intelligent people, with so little common sense, that is the real crisis.

Well I thought the last thing I read from WHO is they do not recommend lockdowns.

Doubling of world poverty. "Stop using lockdowns. Lockdowns make poor people an awful lot more poor"

So shall we follow WHO's advice? Or some air-head politician. Pick yer poison.

Good find. That is very useful information for me. Many thanks.
