CDC Did Not ‘Admit Only 6%’ of Recorded Deaths from COVID-19 --

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/cd...from-covid-19/

...

In weekly updates provided on the CDC’s website, the agency includes information on additional conditions present in patients who died with COVID-19. These other illnesses or conditions found to be present in a patient are called comorbidities. The agency also includes a chart detailing the number of patients with each additional condition.

For the week referenced in the claim, the CDC explained that the chart “shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.”

That means that 6% of those who died with COVID-19 through Aug. 15 didn’t have any other reported conditions.

It does not mean that the CDC has “quietly updated” the number of deaths associated with COVID-19 to a fraction of what had been reported. It’s also not new information; the agency has been providing the same information since May.


...

The following morning, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, clarified what the CDC data mean.

He noted that the 6% figure includes cases where COVID-19 was listed as the only cause of death. “That does not mean that someone who has hypertension or diabetes who dies of Covid didn’t die of Covid-19. They did,” Fauci said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“So the numbers you’ve been hearing — the 180,000-plus deaths — are real deaths from Covid-19. Let [there] not be any confusion about that,” Fauci said.

...

As the epidemiologist and science writer Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz explained in a recent post, “it’s pretty rare that someone wouldn’t have at least one issue caused by coronavirus prior to their death, and all it means is that in 94% of cases people who had COVID-19 also developed other issues, or had other problems at the same time.”

Meyerowitz-Katz notes that influenza and pneumonia are listed as the most common concurrent diseases, which isn’t surprising. “Similarly,” he writes, “respiratory failure, something that the coronavirus directly causes, is listed here as a ‘comorbidity’ that 55,000 people had.”

So, it’s misleading to say that 94% of those who died with COVID-19 also had other ailments without explaining that the disease causes other serious illnesses. And it’s wrong to claim that only 6% of the recorded COVID-19 deaths were caused by the disease.

...

The above posted article also notes:

But the data on which all of this is based come from death certificates, which list any causes or conditions that contributed to a person’s death.

To use an example, when I obtained a copy of my mother's death certificate, the cause of death was complications from Alzheimer's. but the specific condition that resulted in her death was cardio vascular failure, which was a by-product of the Alzheimer's disease...

A long time ago, I had a discussion with some attorneys at a law firm in which I was employed and the topic got around to a murder case which was prominent in the news at the time; cause of death was in question and the lawyers, to a person, noted that the cause of all deaths is heart failure, pure and simple: the heart fails, blood ceases to circulate, the brain shuts down, and you are dead; it is the reason a person who is 'brain dead' and on life support maintaining heart function is still legally considered alive, even though their cognitive/conscious functionality is gone; so, technically, all deaths are the result of heart failure and, technically, even in a murder, it remains the cause of death; however, for the law and for the purposes of medical data, the proximate cause of the heart failure is treated as the actual cause of death; you may have died of heart failure, but if that failure was caused by a knife in the chest, well...

The same holds true in medical cause of death: you may have died of asthmatic respiratory failure, but if that failure was caused by Covid-19, that is the root cause of death, for the record...

A strict lockdown in the Australian city of Melbourne has been extended by two weeks, with officials saying new Covid-19 cases had not dropped enough.
Victoria State Premier Daniel Andrews said the restrictions would be in place until 28 September, with a slight relaxation.
A gradual easing of the measures will be implemented from October.
The state has been the epicentre of the country's second wave, accounting for 90% of Australia's 753 deaths.
Australia has recorded a total of 26,000 cases in a population of 25 million.

India overtakes Brazil in the number of infections recorded, and is now second only to the US. India recorded more than 90,000 new cases of Covid-19 in the past 24 hours.

Here in the UK, almost 3,000 people tested positive on Sunday - the highest daily total since May.

Australia secures almost 85m doses of a vaccine to be rolled out next year if trials prove successful.

Tokyo Olympics will go ahead next year "with or without Covid", the vice-president of the International Olympic Committee says.

Globally more than 27 million cases and 883,000 deaths have been confirmed, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The coronavirus test and trace system has been updated to ensure people who need tests won't have to travel further than 75 miles away, the UK health secretary has said.

UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said the rise in coronavirus cases across the country has largely been among young people aged 17 to 21, as he urged everyone to take social distancing seriously.

France has recorded almost 9,000 new cases on Friday, the biggest daily increase since the start of the pandemic in March. That rise is almost twice as high as in Spain and four times higher than in Italy.

Costa Smeralda, a stretch of coast along the island of Sardinia, is known as a tourist hotspot for the wealthy and famous. But it has been drawing attention for different reasons - as a source of outbreaks in other parts of Italy. During recent weeks, around 800 infections in Lazio have been traced back to Costa Smeralda, particularly its nightclubs.

The next three days will be decisive for Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, says professor Alberto Zangrillo who's treating him for pneumonia as San Raffaele hospital in Milan.

The health ministry in the Philippines reported 1,383 new coronavirus infections on Monday - the lowest number of new daily cases in nearly eight weeks. A total of 3,890 people have died in the country with Covid-19. It has the largest number of coronavirus infections in south-east Asia, with 238,727 confirmed cases.

Tja tja.

If Dr. Campbell earns merits, then for bringing this point up again and again - and from beginning on.

I am only irritated a bit that he does not mention the very strong recommendation to also take K2 and Magnesium., but especially K2 (MK7 all-trans). On my view it is almost a must. Especially if you go higher with your daily dosage than the 2000 IE he mentions.

I again repeat the rule of thumb, as a general red line to lead you through the labyrinth: a flooding phase to fill up the fat deposits in your body with D3, else it will not start to saturate the blood and so will not be felt in positive effect (D3 in fat cells only is of use for the body if these fat cells are being "consumed"). Consider a single one dosis of 50.000 IE at the start. Then 2-3 weeks a daily dose of 10 thousand, and then reduce to the maintenance dose for the time to come, which you can calacultre by 50 IEs per kilogram body weight. If you tend to have more body fat, you should comepsnate by being generous, up to 80 IE per kipogram in case of ver yobese people. K2 should be taken daily as well, 200-250 micrograms for normally weighing people, as a rule of thumb. 100, as quite some combination drugs include, is not enough for 3-5 thousand IEs of D3.



Its not expensive. Do yourself a favour. Make a small investment into your chances. Even if the probabilities shift only slightly in your favour, the difference in your individual case might become the decisive difference.


There is nothing like D3 poisoning as was long time claimed: probloems with the clacium in bones and blood, its a misintepretation of a K2 deficit - and that is why you shoudk take K2 as well. Probolem solved. Safety limits: D3 has shown to produce slow developing problems (hyper- and hypocalcemia and consequences) or immediate reaction (dizziness, migraine, psychotic episodes) not below regular daily dosis of 40 thousand or rushed once-in-a-lifetime dosis of 200 thousand. Stay well below these maximum limits and take K2, and chances are you will survice your daring selfpoisoning adventure. Mostly, the critical threshhold dosis can be assumed to be even higher, but I gave the minimums to maximise the safety implication.


You may want to consider Magnesium as well, but with a time delay of min 6 hours to K2, because it is an antagonist to K2 if meeting it in the stomach. Easy way: D3+K2 in the morning, magnesium in the evening.

How I do? I had 20 thousand units per day for around three weeks or so, then 10 thousand for another three weeks, and then 5.000 per day since then. Plus 240 micrograms K2, and 300 milligrams magnesium. Half a year now. Still alive. Still healthy.

Consider Zinc as well, for quick swallowing as well as lower dosed longines when lebving the house. Not certain that it can unfold its protective (and proven) effect in this way, it must get into the cells and sufficient saturaiton, and there-in lies the problem: to get it there, but at least it cannot do harm, if you do not overdose it. Do not go beyond 40 mg per day in total - including your normal food's zinc contained. Zinc can be overdosed, and ther eis less stuff to read about it, its not that much documented as D3. Better safe than sorry. Not more than 30-40mg. I prefer to stay at a generous half of that.


Social distancing. FFP2 masks. Hygiene and often hand washing. Vit D3, K2 and Zinc. Thats what everybody can do to manipulate probabilities in his - and everybody's! - favour.

Children not affected? Children only lightly affected? "Are you kidding me?"

From FOCUS:


Dangerous inflammations: Children suffer from severe long-term effects - even if the corona disease is symptom-free

Children can still get seriously ill weeks after an asymptomatic corona infection, as a study has now revealed. Severe inflammatory syndrome can lead to shock in 60 percent of cases. The organ system suffers as a result, and long-term heart damage is possible.

For a long time, children were considered largely insensitive to SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19. Most of them have mild or no symptoms at all. But as early as May 2020 there were increasing reports of a rare but serious form of the disease that leads to a severe inflammatory syndrome in the affected children. According to initial evaluations, this syndrome occurs on average in two out of 100,000 infected children and adolescents.

This so-called multi-inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) causes fever, severe abdominal pain and inflammation of the blood vessels and tissues. If left untreated, it can cause circulatory collapse and damage to the coronary arteries. This systemic inflammation is similar to Kawasaki syndrome, an autoimmune disease that only occurs in young children.

It has now been shown that the inflammatory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2 is more serious than Kawasaki disease and also occurs in older children, as Mubbasheer Ahmed from the Texas Children's Hospital and his colleagues have found in an overview study. To do this, they evaluated 662 cases of MIS-C that were reported worldwide from January to July 2020. The mean age of these cases was 9.3 years.

The result: Contrary to the initial assumption, the inflammation syndrome can seem to hit even supposedly healthy children out of nowhere. "According to the data, the children do not have to have shown any of the classic respiratory symptoms before," says Ahmed's colleague Alvaro Moreira. "The children had no symptoms, no one knew they were infected, and a few weeks later they develop this excessive inflammation in the body - that's terrifying."

This means that children can also suffer from the long-term effects of an infection with SARS-CoV-2 - similar to the delayed heart damage and neurological failures in adults.

Typically, the inflammatory syndrome caused by the coronavirus manifests itself as fever, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain. "Abdominal pain can be so severe that several young patients have been mistakenly diagnosed with appendicitis," said Ahmed and his team. The severe systemic inflammation led to shock in 60 percent of the children affected.

The course of the inflammatory syndromes is also often difficult: 70 percent of the children examined had to be treated in the intensive care unit. A good 22 percent of them had to be ventilated, and a good four percent even had to be subjected to external oxygenation of the blood by the so-called ECMO. In most cases, however, the syndrome disappears after a few days with intravenous administration of immunoglobulins, cortisone and other anti-inflammatory agents.

In eleven of the 662 children, however, the disease ended fatally, as the researchers report. Similar to Covid-19, MIS-C also affected a disproportionately large number of severely overweight children and children with previous illnesses.

According to the data, this inflammatory reaction caused by SARS-CoV-2 is significantly more serious than Kawasaki syndrome or the toxic shock that can result from a severe bacterial infection, for example. "It can be fatal because it attacks many organ systems," says Moreira. "Be it the heart and lungs, the digestive system or the nervous system - MIS-C has so many different sides that it was initially hard to grasp for doctors."

Closer examinations of various inflammation markers in the children's blood revealed that the glycoprotein procalcitonin was increased on average by a factor of 200 - that is far more than in severe blood poisoning. While septic shock typically causes procalcitonin values ​​of more than 0.1 nanograms per milliliter, values ​​of more than 30 nanograms per milliliter were measured in the blood of children with MIS-C.

The scientists are particularly concerned about the consequences of the inflammation syndrome for the children's hearts: "Almost 90 percent of the children had an EKG because they showed significant impairment of their heart function," reports Moreira. Around half of them showed signs of reduced heart pump function in the EKG, and many suffered from pathological dilation of the coronary arteries. In ten percent of the cases an aneurysm - a bulging of the blood vessel - formed out.

Troponin was also an indicator of damage to the children's heart. This protein complex is released by myocardial cells when they are damaged or die - for example in the event of a heart attack. In children with the inflammatory syndrome caused by the coronavirus, troponin levels were 50 times higher than normal, the researchers report.

"These results suggest that children with MIS-C have tremendous inflammation and potential tissue damage to their hearts," says Moreira. "We need to keep monitoring these children closely to understand the long-term consequences this could have for them." (EClinical Medicine, 2020; doi: 10.1016 / j.eclinm.2020.100527)

Here in Denmark the number of infected keeps on going up. Today's number was 230 Friday's number was 170-something.

Most in some part of Copenhagen and Odense(third biggest city in Denmark)

Today the health authorities has imposed sanction in these two cities.

Number of people allowed in groups from 100 to 50.
No social arrangement
and other things.

These step will not help- and it has to do with our democratic rights.

1. There will always be some infected who just don't care and take his/her car to another city.

Markus

[Skybird]

Do democratic rights include the right to physical assault? Because that is what it is if an infected person ignores his infection and walks amognst the people and puts them at risk.



It compares to strolling around in a cafe or bar and putting some rat poison into people'S offee itf the loooik the other way for a seocnd. "Why not? I have a freedom to do what I want. Rat poison harm rats, the name does not say it harms people."


Which leads us to the right of self-defence. We have h dioscussions about how wise or ethical it is to lecture mask offenders in public and enfiorce the rules, laws, regulations to wear masksa. Oh the precious valuable feelings of those pure insulted egos! How can we dare...?


Some days ago a female ticket controlelr in a train got beaten up badly because she remianded a renitent "gjuest" of his obligation to wear a mask. Bus drivers, ticket controller have repatedly been spit at, beaten, kicke,d thgreatened, beaten up by antisocial thugs and scumbags who think they own all freedoms and rights and the other have none.



Scumbags. Antisocial scumbags. But we have discussions about whether it is morally right to call brutal egoists and violent ofender as that antisocial.


Why not just pull a police rubber stick througntheir face, then have them spending a night or two in prison, bill them for food and bed, and log their IDs, so that in case of repeated offence they can be recongised as such and be given a full washing up then.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock says a "sharp rise" in cases in the UK in recent days is "concerning" No 10 not ruling out tightening restrictions on the number of people who can meet in England.

People in Scotland warned to stick to one pub visit per night, as three new deaths recorded.

Leaders of seven councils issue joint appeal to public after big rise in cases in north-east England.

Japan says it will hold the Tokyo Games in 2021, even if the pandemic is still continuing.

UK tax authorities admit about 5-10% of cash paid out on the furlough scheme was wrongly awarded.

India records its highest daily deaths in more than a month - 1,133 people in 24 hours.

US President Donald Trump and rival Joe Biden trade insults over their stances on a vaccine.

We want freedom
(The biker meeting in Sturgis)

You got your freedom and here is what you had to pay for it

Epidemiologists believe that figure is a significant undercount, due to the resistance of some rallygoers to testing and the limited contact tracing in some states. As a result, the true scope of infections stemming from the rally that ran from Aug. 7 to Aug. 16 is unlikely to ever be known. Public health officials had long expressed concern over the decision to move forward with the annual event, believed to be the largest held anywhere in the U.S. since the pandemic shelved most large-scale gatherings

If only they had called Sturgis a protest this year, why then there would be no negative results reported.

This comes at a time when in Russia concern over their own rushed vaccine (that seems to have started without valid and competed phase 3 trials) are mounting and got revealed to the public. At least it was the first time I red about that there is such concern, with the state apparently unable to suppress it (not that that is a desirable option anyway.)
