WHO Doctor pretends his feed is messed up after being asked about Taiwan, then refuses to answer as not to upset China, incredible timeline we're living in.


It isn't surprising. The same man also said the world owed China/Wuhan a debt of gratitude. It is truly insane. They started this with their disgusting wet markets, they cover it up, they silence those that tried to inform the rest of the world, they claim this was an American military plot, and yet somehow the world owes China/Wuhan.

I just watched this video and it explains how COVID-19 kills us. I really had no freakin' idea.

Last night's numbers as of 9pm from bing.com/covid

USA-142,152 confirmed cases- 4435 Recoveries- Recoveries went from 3231 to 4435
Florida- 4950 confirmed cases- Still have 0 Recoveries

California- 4643 confirmed cases( Same number but there's a lot of pending cases)
Georgia- 2683 confirmed cases
Illinois- 4956 confirmed cases
Louisana- 3540 confirmed cases
Massachussets- 4955 confirmed cases
Michigan-5486 confirmed cases
New jersey- 13,386 confirmed cases
Pennsylvania- 3394 confirmed cases
Texas- 2552 confirmed cases
Washington- 4310 confirmed cases
New York- 59,513 confirmed cases

China- 75, 448 recoveries, 2691 active cases
South Korea- 5033 recoveries but still 4398 active cases
Italy- 97,689 confirmed cases ( 13,030 recoveries but still 73,880 active cases)
Spain- 80,100 confirmed cases( 14,709 recoveries but still 58,588 active cases)

Today's number's as of 9pm from bing.com/covid

USA-163,479 confirmed cases- 5604 recoveries- Recoveries went from 4435 to 5604
Florida- 5704 confirmed cases- Still have 0 recoveries, CMON FLORIDA
Seminole county- 88 confirmed cases, orange county- 300 confirmed cases

California- 6388 confirmed cases- A big surge from them as they had a lot of pending cases
Georgia- 3082 confirmed cases
Illinois- 5057 confirmed cases
Louisana- 4025 confirmed cases
Massachussets- 5752 confirmed cases
Michigan- 6498 confirmed cases
New jersey- 16,636 confirmed cases
Pennsylvania- 4087 confirmed cases
Texas- 2877 confirmed cases
Washington- 5298 confirmed cases
New York- 66,497 confirmed cases

China- same numbers as last night
South Korea- 5288 recoveries but still 4275 active cases
Italy- 101,739 confirmed cases( 14,620 recoveries but still 75,528 active cases)
Spain- 87,956 confirmed cases( 16,780 recoveries but still 63,460 active cases)

So I noticed with Georgia, Illinois, Louisana, New Jersey, Texas there are small increases in their confirmed cases around 400 each per state while the other top states are still increasing around 1000 new confirmed cases per day. So lets keep an eye on Georgia, Illinois, Louisana, New Jersey and Texas over the next few days if maybe those states have reached a peak and their confirmed cases per day maybe continue to drop or if any of these states shoot up in confirmed cases the next day.

California,Florida, Illinois, Mass, Michigan, Penn, Washington and New York keep surging every single day so for now maybe perhaps Georgia, Illinois, Louisana, New jersey and Texas are getting their confirmed cases to come down?

This doctor said he has treated 699 Covid- 19 patients with a 100% success rate. He said shortness of breath has resolved within a few hours.

would love if hydroxychloroquine was the solution but lets pump the breaks here. he treated 699 mild patients, as in he treated 699 patients who were not likely needed to be hospitalized or worse. an then he's touting hydroxychloroquine as the cure when a majority of them would have recovered with hot soup and water.

I'm actually curious how it really did originate (certainly possible it was a wet market). I watched a few documentaries on the spanish flu recently and apparently some scholars now think it originated in Kansas.

I'll be interested to see if we can ever really track down the origin of this.

I don't see any real value in debating on where it came from. We all know it came from China. We can link most of the initial cases to those absolutely filthy and disgusting Chinese wet markets. This certainly wouldn't be the first disease to come from a filthy Chinese wet market.

I think the WHO loses credibility when they try to argue that the world owes China and Wuhan a debt of gratitude.

We not recovering because We don't have that hydroxychorolquine/z-pack in Florida as that medicine is only in New York as far as I know. We should have recoveries by now but we don't. It's very hot down here so this heat should be killing the virus. But people like to travel to Florida so if people are coming to Florida with the virus than it spreads. I heard on the radio yesterday that the cops are on I10 and I95 stopping any vehicles coming into Florida that don't have a Florida license plate.

I've been avoiding this thread since it gives me a lot of anxiety. Is there news that hot weather kills the virus? Is that confirmed?

Do you think the markets are filthy? I couldn't tell for sure

That's huge though. It's a cheap drug.

Can give it to people from doctor clinics as soon as they show symptoms.

Absolutely not.

Does hot weather slow the virus? Quite possibly, but that’s a big difference.

I'd take anything from that doctor with a huge grain of salt. Anyone who is familiar with Monroe, NY and Kiryas Joel will understand.

Doesn't work for everyone. My folks know of a man in his 70's a few towns away (we're in MA) and he's on a ventilator and probably near death with organ failure. He has covid-19. He doesn't even know how he got it. Grocery store?

I am not close enough to the situation, but none of the experimental drugs helped him I heard today. They do try these things at times and it isn't always a GAME CHANGER.

I wish the news was telling the truth, it doesn't work for EVERYONE. Thats why Dr. Fauci types are not singing about it from the roof tops right now.

No it’s bull. Don’t trust that and other unverified sources. Stick with mainstream media, actual experts and legitimate organizations.

Even the slowing down part is debatable and unproven. There are research going on that studies the link between wind speed and covid-19 spread.
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200323-coronavirus-will-hot-weather-kill-covid-19

In general mortality is lower in summers compared to winters. For example this is the 2017 data.

I was wondering why the death rate keeps going up. This is really scary **** now.
