Nearly everything we've been told about models, rates of infection, deaths, and recoveries was inaccurate.
I'm not here to argue that it was malfeasance or ignorance — both are unacceptable. But the one thing that Governor Andrew Cuomo's stunning announcement made clear on Thursday is that there are some pretty shocking — and what should be — reassuring truths.
Cuomo announced that antibody testing in New York state, which only began four days previous, was already demonstrating that at minimum 13.9% of New Yorkers, had COVID-19 late stage antibodies.
The implication of this is a shockwave to the system.
With a population of 19,540,500 the findings point out that over 2,500,000 New Yorkers had the virus and have recovered. Keep in mind that as of this writing that only 263,000 New Yorkers have currently confirmed cases. Also as of this writing New York has reported 19,543 fatalities.
We've been told that the true death rate is 7.4% in New York. We were told there would be hundreds of thousands dead. We were told that this was worse than the flu, which has still recorded more deaths to date in this past flu season — even though the CDC instructed medical personnel to start counting influenza, heart disease, pulmonary, respiratory, drug overdose, and possibly even car crash deaths as COVID-19 deaths.
We were told that we had to upend an economy, go into solitary confinement, and divorce ourselves from normal life because this would rage beyond any previous pandemic. We were told that this virus with 846,000 current confirmed cases was worse than the H1N1 that broke out on Obama's watch that infected 60,000,000 people. (We were conveniently not told that Obama had authorized $3.7 million U.S. tax dollars to be used at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to utilize corona viruses in bats in 2015 — but that's yet another deception of omission.)
But none of these "truths" turned out to be so.
The death rate in New York State isn't 7.4%, it is actually .75%. The recently ended influenza season numbers from the CDC indicate possibly 56,000,000 cases of flu, 740,000 hospitalizations, and 62,000 deaths. Under the current count from the Johns Hopkins Dashboard in this five month stretch CoVid19 has racked up 845,959 confirmed cases, 122,000 hospitalizations and 46,972 deaths.
A couple of other observations are extremely relevant. To begin with the flu — which has no vaccine but rather a randomized version of a shot designed to help develop antibodies to fight the version of the flu that "smart people" *think* will be the primary version that particular year — has remedies that physicians prescribe in primary care on an as needed basis. So we're not accustomed to thinking that the flu is this deadly killer that all of life must be shut down to prevent. CoVid19 had no known treatments at the beginning of the breakout, and for political reasons — and possibly financially incentivized ones to boot — the most effective treatment for CoVid19 became a political football.
Even the supposed "negative" trials that were reported on this past weekend, had cherry picked subjects that were mostly late stage victims of the virus. As Dr. Vladimir Zelenko pointed out on my show this week, doing so created the negative outcomes "purposefully & by design." When used under a physician's care, in the primary care basis, and early on after testing or onset of symptoms, the hydroxycholoroquine, azithromycin, & zinc cocktail reduced the rates of deaths and long term infectious stages. Zelenko's numbers to date: 1,450 patients treated, two deaths, four ventilator cases (all fully recovered,) and all others recovered. Zelenko and other physicians using the treatment are releasing the world's largest Meta-study to date within the next few days that will examine more than 2,000 confirmed cases.
The antibody numbers from Cuomo also scream one other harsh reality. The virus was in America long before January.
No thanks to the Communist Chinese Party — who bear the sole responsibility for every American who died from CoVid19 — the infection made its way to American sooner than we had believed. With three flights a day from Wuhan to New York's John F. Kennedy airport alone the virus was being imported faster than understood.
Comment: That's just ridiculous. Remember the whole point of this article is COVID-19 is not the threat it was made out to be!
Since going into national lockdown we've also failed one other key component of recovery from this virus — herd immunity. We've developed not nearly enough of it. For if 2.5 million New Yorkers were able to fight it off without any treatment at all — unaware they even had it — how much more immunity did we miss out on creating by simply sheltering everyone in place?
We are well on our way to a vaccine. We've also got a $12 treatment with the hydroxychloroquine cocktail that has smashed Brazil's fatality rate by 95%.
Comment: How about we rely on hydroxychloroquine over a vaccine that can't possibly be effective against a constantly mutating strain.
Most importantly we've got millions upon millions of Americans who have been exposed to CoVid19 and who now have the late stage antibodies that demonstrate immunity.
It is time to acknowledge these facts, draw the necessary conclusions they lead us to, make changes for the benefit of the American people (for once), and end this nightmare.
Thank you Governor Cuomo for acknowledging it, now let's go!

Cuomo: "Sorry. We faked all these numbers to create fear in you, the populace."
People would scream: OMG! Etc. But what would follow?
But spinning that fact as something bad....that there is now proof via multiple studies is certainly manipulative in the extreme.
I've been successful in getting several mask people to be free recently.
Keep trying.
A pandemic of testing that can assign itself to a huge segment of the population at any given time - regardless of sickness or health.
The underlying new normal that is being pushed like a boot heel onto the face of humanity, defines life itself as risk of infection, risk of extremist, risk of terrorist, risk of disinformation - that runs as protection racket of organised crime set over and against the living.
Many in the middle and lower ranks believe in the protection and are either blind to the racket or learn that to go there is to jeopardise your career or social standing.
The insane irony is that the accusers are right in their basic idea - that false thinking infects the mind and leads to extreme dissociations that fuel hateful agenda. But they always point AWAY from self - and never look within. The presumed right of the leader-protector to set themselves in authority over others is stolen from the power entrusted them, or by deceits and false promises.
Question the premises of this as your OWN willing curiosity instead of just latching onto opinions of others - and follow where it takes you.
In all of this kettling under much noise - what is actually established as certain?
Was a novel virus 'discovered' and proved to cause the symptoms assigned to an extremely polluted Wuhan?
Fear operates the way to trigger reaction of emotional investment in a narrative frame-up.
Fear can also generate a viral immune response in our body.
As can toxic exposures, and radiations.
All kinds of interventions can undermine or render our immune systems dysfunctional or overreactive - such that the sickness that is innately designed to realign and strengthen or update cellular health - becomes itself a means of breakdown of function.
This is a funny kind of pandemic,though; featuring empty hospitals, very few deaths (and not a single death proven to be due to the imaginary virus) plenty of time for politicians to bumble around making ridiculous statements, and absolutely no evidence of any spread of any single disease that can be proven to be due to this supposed "new virus". This pandemic also features an almost infinite list of symptoms, and claims that infected carriers are asymptomatic. How convenient for those pushing this fraud.
Another feature of this new kind of pandemic is that deaths from other diseases seem to have stopped almost entirely. This is a pandemic of unjustified panic, spreading due to media lies, not a pandemic of a lethal virus. Infection is self inflicted, though. You can stop it from infecting you by turning off your TV, or simply using it to watch old movies on DVD.
Consuming the nonstop stream of panic porn on TV news programming usually results in infection. The symptoms of the infection include wearing masks (improvised or manufactured), wandering around in public wearing exam gloves, and jumping away from anyone who strays within ten feet of you. Those infected by this panic are easy to avoid, but the people causing this reaction are bound to become more and more unavoidable as they think of new ways to inflict their ideas upon everyone.
Good luck, everybody.
A body is like a clock. Keep it clean it'll give you time. Keep it unclean, it'll take your time. ... as Agron wrote this morning elsewhere... playtime for Ostrich, byebye.
