    Good morning. It’s pretty well known, now, I think, that not only did Chris Cuomo contract COVID-19, so did his wife Christina. She wrote about how she treated herself at home in a publication called ‘Purist’.

    I took a bath. At the direction of my doctor, Dr. Linda Lancaster, who reminded me that this is an oxygen-depleting virus, she suggested I take a bath and add a nominal amount of bleach. Yes, bleach. So, I add a small amount– ½ cup ONLY–of Clorox to a full bath of warm water–why? To combat the radiation and metals in my system and oxygenate it. “We want to neutralize heavy metals because they slow-up the electromagnetic frequency of our cells, which is our energy field, and we need a good flow of energy. Clorox is sodium chloride–which is technically salt.

    https://thepuristonline.com/2020/04/the-cuomos-corona-protocol-week-3/

    There’s LOTS more where that came from. This is the kind of thing that makes me almost support involuntary sterilization.

    If you wonder if Chris Cuomo really IS stupid – there’s your answer. He married this

    NBC is reporting that Trump said injecting disinfectants, such as bleach, would kill the virus.

    Morning all.

    My formal employer is screwing with the severance payout somehow, and holding back on PTO altogether.

    One check. That’s what they told me. Now I’m getting smaller checks weekly apparently, am locked out of seeing my checks (have to request stubs via email), and nobody pertinent is answering the phone.

    context context context

    Trump is already briefed on all this before the presser starts. He was aware of more of the research than Bill Bryan talked about. Hence, his remark about putting it ‘inside’, which referred to UV light. UV irradiation of blood has been around since the 40s.

    At no time did he say to inject disinfectant and the only way you get there is malicious interpretation

    “Question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn’t been checked but you’re going to test it,” Trump said, looking over to Bryan.

    “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re gonna test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?”

    He continued: “And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number, so it will be interesting to check that. So that you’re going to have to use medical doctors. But it sounds, it sounds interesting to me. So we’ll see.

    “But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s, that’s pretty powerful.”

    @ eaglesoars:

    When I file biweekly, I have to file for each week reporting anything paid out as part of the filing process.

    There’s a question about vacation hours, which I believe will be paid out next week, and a question about hours worked, but nothing as to how to report a severance payout.

    I already reported the amount on my initial claim, but they simply use that to determine total payout. I believe I also have to report it as weekly income, where it will basically negate my payment for the week. By giving me two checks instead of one, it will negate any payments for the entire period.

    That’s fine, I’m OK. I just don’t want to screw myself on the benefits moving forward by misrepresenting my income, and there’s NO WAY to get a hold of PA Unemployment right now.

    Is your level on of those Aluminium jobs or a bad arse hardwood one?

    Glad your back outside working and staying out of mischief. Don’t tell me some plonker prohibited golfers from walking around golf courses? Keeping a social distance and all that BS of course? They powers that be allowed groundsmen to attend to golf courses, bowls pitches and the like a few weeks ago. Why they got trusted up in the rest of the shutdowns I’ll never understand. They work ALONE mostly riding mowers! Anyway they have been tending to their patches for a week and a half so everything is ready for the return of golfers from Monday night 2359 hours. I’m guessing that there will be golfers with fluorescence ballsand wearing head lamps at 0001 Tuesday. Surfing fishing and stuff is also back on as we go from level #4 to level #3. Drive through of take out for and cafes are also opening as are order online , pay with touch and go tech and collect at the do. Building is also back on. as are hardware and landscaping outfits with a stay in the car and we come to you service. Including hooking you up to a loan trailer to go!

    🙂

    Bubbles get to merge between family bubbles.

    So far NZ has been doing OK. 14 infection hot spots mostly a St. Pats party before the lockdown 98 infections, a Wedding party in Invercargal (down the bottom of the SI) 93 infected and a nursing home 89 infected. Most of the rest are retirement villages where folks came back to NZ from holidays or cruises. Total of about 1500 infections nationwide with 1100 now recovered, no new known cases in the past 3 days and a total of 12 in hospital currently with 2 in ICU and a total of 17 deaths.

    Looking at another 3 weeks at level #3 then to level #2 when most folks go back to work. Schools for emergency workers’ kids but most still stay at home ‘home schooling’ now that 100% have access to computers. THAT was an expensive exercise!

    For weeks I’ve been hearing about how Bill Gates is really in it for the vaccine, he’s working against therapeutics, $$$, blah blah blah. There are a lot of people out there who are convinced he eats babies for dessert.

    This should put the kabosh on all of it

    The University of Washington School of Medicine is looking for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 to participate in a clinical trial aimed at finding out whether a controversial antimalarial drug called hydroxychloroquine can keep them from having to be hospitalized.
    .
    .
    “We are recruiting patients with recently diagnosed COVID infection and hope to show whether early treatment can keep them from having to be admitted to the hospital,” co-principal investigator Christine Johnston, an associate professor of medicine at UW, said today in a news release. “We are studying whether the early treatment of COVID-19 prevents viral pneumonia and also seeing if the medications decrease viral shedding, which could have a potential benefit of reduced transmission of COVID-19.”

    The trial will gauge the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as well as a combination of the drug with azithromycin, an antibiotic.
    .
    .
    The $5.8 million trial is funded by the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator, an initiative launched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome and Mastercard, with support from an array of public and philanthropic donors.

    Results from the trial are expected by July.

    Ahhh can’t cut and paste the report!

    43 | April 25, 2020 12:12 am

    French microbiologist Didier Raoult on Friday released some early results from his treatment of 1061 coronavirus patients with a combination of hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin.
    Raoult says the treatment had a good outcome in 91.7 percent of patients, a poor virological
    outcome in 4.4 percent (viral shedding persistence at day 10) and a poor clinical outcome in 4.3 percent (either death or transfer to intensive care unit or hospitalization for 10 days or more).
    He says 98 percent were eventually cured.
    There were 5 deaths.
    From the paper:
    ABSTRACT
    Background In a recent survey, most physicians worldwide considered that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZ) are the two most effective drugs among available molecules against COVID-19. Nevertheless, to date, one preliminary clinical trial only has demonstrated its efficacy on the viral load. Additionally, a clinical study including 80 patients was published, and in vitro efficiency of this association was demonstrated.
    Methods
    The study was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France.
    A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the HCQ-AZ combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated. Endpoints were death, worsening and viral shedding persistence.
    Findings
    From March 3rd to April 9th, 2020, 59,655 specimens from 38,617 patients were tested for COVID-19 by PCR. Of the 3,165 positive patients placed in the care of our institute, 1061 previously unpublished patients met our inclusion criteria. Their mean age was 43.6 years old and 492 were male (46.4%). No cardiac toxicity was observed. A good clinical outcome and virological cure was obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%). Prolonged viral carriage at completion of treatment was observed in 47 patients (4.4%) and was associated to a higher viral load at diagnosis (p 3 days of HCQ-AZ than in patients treated with other regimens both at IHU and in all Marseille public hospitals (p
    Interpretation
    The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.
    Raoult on Friday was also visited by French President Emmanuel Macron.

    There you go Eagles.

    The study funded by Gates and co that will use up ANOTHER 3 months… IS ALREADY IN the can!

    .

    That $5 million is just chump change for Gates to STALL the Study for another 3 months!

    To clarify: THIS is the kind of thing I’m talking about seeing, straight up conspiracy lunacy:

    EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Birx Helped Bill-Gates-and-Clinton Backed Pharma Company Distribute PHONY Drugs & Vaccines While FBI Was Investigating the Criminal Cartel

    https://truepundit.com/dr-birx-helped-bill-gates-and-clinton-backed-pharma-company-distribute-phony-drugs-vaccines-while-fbi-was-investigating-the-criminal-cartel/

    And Fauci is implicated in this story also, altho not at this link.

    Fauci is being slimed by one Dr. Judy Mikovits. If you watched the Epoch Times documentary on the COVID-19 origin, you would have seen her there as one of their sources.

    She has an interesting background. She was a virologist/vaccine person who was pretty much drummed out of the field because her work was not reproducible, journals retracted all of her papers. She was arrested for removing materials from the lab that fired her. She blames Fauci.

    At some point, one has to step back and get a grip. This is right up there – or down there – with pizza gate and child sacrifice.

    I’m not defending Bill Gates or his globalist world view, or Fauci’s view of humans as his personal lab rats. But ledges are ledges and it’s a good idea not to be walking off them.

    The health director for Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) says that phase one of reopening could take at least two years.

    During this time, many businesses would remain closed, face coverings would be required and social distancing would be mandated.

    Northam outlines phase one of Virginia’s plan for emerging from COVID-19 pandemic

    Along with a decline in cases and hospitalizations, Northam said the state must also grow its healthcare capacity and increase its supply of protective equipment.

    “We cannot and will not lift restrictions like one turns on a light switch,” Northam said of moving onto the first phase of recovery, which he called “Phase One.”

    “Easing too much too soon could jeopardize public health and consumer confidence,” he said.

    Phase One, state officials said Friday, will still involve keeping some businesses closed, while others reopen under “strict safety restrictions.”

    Phase One will also involve “continued social distancing, continued teleworking [and] face coverings recommended in public,” according to an outline of the plan made public Friday.

    How long that phase will last is unclear, but State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver said he expected it to be in effect until “medical countermeasures” like a treatment or vaccine are rolled out broadly.

    “I, personally, think Phase One will be a two year affair,” Oliver said. “There are a lot of people working on this, and I hope they prove me wrong, but I don’t see it happening in less than two years.”

    This will be ignored/revolted against

    The health director for Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) says that phase one of reopening could take at least two years.

    During this time, many businesses would remain closed, face coverings would be required and social distancing would be mandated.

    This represents the kind of magical thinking in which elementary school age children engage. Who in the real world thinks you can just shut things down for two full years? Two months has been devastating and is an example of what happens when you let people with the real-world wisdom skills of 8 year olds run things.

    The desired outcome by the people funding it has definitely been achieved. For their paultry investment of $5 million, they got any resolution postponed for another 12 weeks. The cost of about $50k per day is chump change for these guys who want to draw this thing out for as long as possible.

    Shukan Gendai subsequently detailed how the surgeon in charge of Kim’s operation was not used to dealing with obese patients and was too nervous during the operation, leading to delays that left Kim in a “vegetative state.” ……

    Isn’t it fitting that tyrants so frighten their subjects that nobody has the guts to save their lives. When Stalin collapsed with a stroke none of his cabinet members would even go into his room as he lay in his own vomit choking. His doctor refused to go anywhere near him in case he was accused of killing him

    Now Un has a doctor so terrified of making a mistake that he doesn’t treat his patient and Un because he didn’t trust doctors didn’t have someone with the knowledge available that knew how to treat obese patients.

    Not desired outcome, but desired study result.

    In my work, I’ve had the opportunity to work with world class experts in a number of fields. One of them, who has been around for a very long time, said that when he was a pup just starting out, he got started in “this analysis stuff”, he said, “I thought this was great, you get a problem statement, spend some time and study evaluating the facts, and from those facts and derivations, you get a solution. Then my mentor and I went to visit a lead technical investigator who wanted us to perform a study. We sat and listened to his summary of the study he needed, the parameters and his budget and timeline. My idealistic dreams were shattered when my mentor then concluded the meeting by saying, ‘OK, we’ll get right on this, what conclusion are you wanting us to come up with?'”

    In this case, it was the hard sciences and engineering. Kind of where design meets reality and design decisions are dependent upon assumptions and initial design solution approaches. There are a myriad of ways to solve a problem; some use the ideas near and dear to certain Principal Investigators, other approaches do not. Just as in your prior life designing software — multiple ways to get to a solution, it depends on the designers choices and preferences.

    Yup

    There is a LOT type of analysis going about, especially now.

    When I underwent a number of courses (I must have been a slow learner or something) in intelligence analysis we were drilled in leaving our assumptions and as many of our biases as humanly possible to strip away, at the door. The idea was to get into the head of the people you were opposing, and to understand all of the key assumptions and biases that they had. Inly then could you understand how and why they were thinking the way they were, and with a bit of luck and some base objective understanding of how the whole shebang held together… figure out what the bastard opposite was about to do, where, how and why and especially WHEN he was doing it.

    This really worked but it took a LOT of effort on we analysists, and we always added some alternative scenarios a few weasel words to cover our arses, and listed what to look for to identify which course of action the bad guys were taking that might be different to the prime forecast course.

    This really worked a treat but it was hard work. Getting a good Commander who actually understood the Intelligence Problem , its strengths and weaknesses and the capabilities of the INTEL guys working for him and trusting them was key. Those Intel guys also trusted their Commander not to throw them under the bus, because they knew that he always had their backs.

    Ahhh Margaret Mead and her sojourn with the Samoans! She got too close to their culture and was eventually subsumed by it. She lost her objectivity poor woman and as they say ‘went Tropo’.

    I saw it on a few occasions during my short time in 1970-71 flying from the North coast South into the hinterland of New Guinea. The deeper into the interior and the less contact with the outside world these Europeans had caused a lot of normally well adjusted people to get mildly or extremely ‘changed’ mentally.

    I was lucky that I flew into and out of VERY remote places daily and had the chance to observe the changes in the mental states of some people living in VERY primitive conditions with native peoples. I could climb into my aircraft deep in the jungle and an hour later could be back at Vanimo on the coast having a beer and a swim and listening to the radio. The ones in the bus didn’t have that option .

    Some couldn’t be dragged kicking and screaming to go on 2 weeks ‘ annual leave back in Australia. They were fretful, fearful and mentally disturbed as their leave period approached. Interesting

    National Geographic still runs pieces about ‘lost tribes’ that are about to be subsumed into western civilization – oh noes! – and when you read between the lines you figure out they really like decent dental care, those toothaches are a bitch. Not to mention clothes that allow you to sit down without endangering your sensitive parts.

    And Nat Geo just ran a piece on a guy that decided to go native with some tribe – in Brazil, I think.

    I did 10 days on an Outward Bound expedition in the Everglades. Take your primitive utopia and shove it. Those Nat Geo articles never tell you about the insect bites, the ghastly water, the truth about what rotting vegetation really smells like, let alone the rotting carcass of some animal decaying in the heat and humidity.

    Guess what? I just finished reading the Senate Intel Committee report and it doesn’t say anything like that. It has a section of what they believe Russian intentions were and nowhere does it say anything about helping Trump win the election.

    Here’s the report. 65 pages, a lot redacted, a lot of footnotes.

    This is in the summary at the top of page 4

    While the Committee does not know with confidence what Moscow’s intentions were, Russia may have been probing vulnerabilities in voting systems to exploit later. Alternatively, Moscow may have sought to undermine confidence in the 2016 election simply through the discovery of their activity.

    Here it is, vol 2, page 4

    However, where the Intelligence Community assessed that the Russian government “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him,” the Committee found that IRA social media activity was overtly and almost invariably supportive of then-candidate Trump, and to the detriment .of Secretary Clinton’s campaign.6

    186 | April 26, 2020 9:14 pm

    This bullshit printed today:-

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday warned against the use of two antimalarial drugs that have been touted as possible treatments for the novel coronavirus following reports of “serious heart rhythm problems” in COVID-19 patients treated with the medications.

    The drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine should not be used outside of a hospital or clinical setting, the agency said, especially when used alongside the antibiotic azithromycin, also known as a Z-Pak.

    “The FDA is aware of reports of serious heart rhythm problems in patients with COVID-19 treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, often in combination with azithromycin,”

    https://www.foxnews.com/health/hydroxychloroquine-avoided-outside-hospitals-fda-warns

    But, but…..hang on…..Laura Ingraham had a veteran cardiologist on her show that said COMPLETELY the opposite!
    Here’s a partial transcript, the full transcript URL below.

    INGRAHAM: But what are the facts? Joining me now is Dr. Ramin Oskoui, Cardiologists, CEO of Foxhall Cardiology. Dr. Oskoui, you’re a cardiologist in active practice. You’ve treated several COVID patients – symptomatic. What are your thoughts here? What’s this all about?

    DR. RAMIN OSKOUI, CEO, FOXHALL CARDIOLOGY: You’ve got to wonder. We know that Tylenol can cause liver failure, but it’s available over the counter. Today, I pulled down and I sent you the package insert from the FDA on hydroxychloroquine, forget about chloroquine. No one’s using that.

    But it actually shows that for rheumatoid arthritis that you should use 400 to 600 milligrams a day until adequate results are achieved and then dropped down to approximately 5 milligrams per kilogram per day, which is about 200 milligrams twice a day. This is how we dose this for COVID, except we only use the 4, 5, 10-day course, the most. Typically, 5 days.

    So the FDA’s recommendations are really schizophrenic. I would make one last comment about what your predecessor, the previous doctor spoke. The instance rate of cardiac toxicity is vanishingly low. It’s not 5 percent, it’s probably 0.05 percent. We used this drug in pregnant women. We used it in children. We use it without monitoring in countries for malaria prophylaxis. You may have taken it yourself.

    INGRAHAM: Yes, I have taken it three times. Yes, Africa.

    OSKOUI: It’s ridiculous. This toxicity risk is crazy.

    INGRAHAM: So, again, when you when you read these headlines and these media lemmings just repeat things. I don’t even think they went read what the FDA actually says on its website. I did. And they don’t ask the question, Dr. Oskoui.

    First of all, we’re not talking about chloroquine, we’re talking about hydroxychloroquine. And it’s been established that chloroquine is much more toxic, has much more toxicity. But what I don’t understand is that lupus patients, rheumatoid arthritis patients, they’re on this, as Stephen Smith said many times for decades – decades.

    And yet they can get the prescription in a doctor’s office. So they don’t have to go to a hospital, which we’re not supposed to go to a hospital now. Right? If you have COVID you want to stay out of the hospital. But I – I’m just a layperson. But I just think none of this to me makes any sense.

    OSKOUI: It really doesn’t. Even the FDA package insert never mentions doing EKG as a baseline. All the patients – somewhere close to a dozen that I’ve treated are established patients with EKGs that I know their heart history from. I’ve had no problems except for one patient who had persistent nausea, a small price to pay for avoiding the ICU.

    INGRAHAM: And Dr. Didier Raoult found, I think, one or two cases in a thousand where anyone had – I think any – maybe it wasn’t any. I have to go back and read up. It was over a–

    OSKOUI: It was none actually.

    Why on earth does anyone pay any attention to this frightful man. Every one of his predictions in the past has been wrong. The one with the most devastating result was the one that led to millions of healthy cattle being destroyed unnecessarily innthe foot and mouth panic a few years ago. A period of silence from him would be morr than welcome.

    @ Aussie Infidel:

    But the FDA already cleared the drug protocol for’compassionate use’. It’s a totally fucked up organization. You know those little devices the doc clamps on your finger to measure your oxygen level? Here they’re available over the counter but if it’s imbedded in an Apple watch it’s banned. By the FDA. Something about the Medical Device regs in Obamacare.

    nothing. wrong on the cattle disease, wrong on SARs and wrong on COVID-19. That’s why I speculate his funding is untouchable. People on the DM comment thread, except for the Brit version of Karens, are spewing at this guy.

    This is the guy who said it wouldn’t be possible to peer-review his models because its comprised of tens of thousands of lines of C code that he hadn’t looked at in years – since the last time he fucked up a model.

    He’s an epidemiologist, not a software developer. I already ranted about him on that score.

    Jill Biden’s left hand is DEFINITELY up old slo Joe’s arse.

    He and Kim Jong UN will be a great pair together. Brain dead leaders with the fingers on nuclear triggers.

    WHAT could possibly GO WRONG?

    Mine is on Obama as well.

    Just got 4 stingrays swimming by within 10 feet of the beach. Daddy stingray all 6′ of him. Mrs. S at 4′ and a couple of toddler stingrays at 2 ‘ across.

    The guys casting off the beach are not going to be catching dinner for a while with stingrays hunting the shallows
