98% Growth of US Corona deaths

The growth rate of U.S. deaths reported with Corona virus dropped from 153% to 98% in the last seven days (10 April 2020 to 17 April 2020) versus the previous week.  As of 17 April 2020 there were 37,154 deaths in the U.S. reported with Corona virus C-19, versus 18,747 last week.  The rate of growth of deaths is still almost doubling in 7 days, but the rate of growth has peaked and is now declining.  The curve is flattening.

A report from the clinic regarding the hemoglobin hypothesis

Here is a report of a single patient treated with EPO, a widely prescribed drug for treatment of anemia. It appears to confirm the computer-modeled hypothesis for a mechanism of action for CoV-2 virus involving hemoglobin in red blood cells. Obviously, a single anecdotal report from the clinic is not sufficient testing.

Vit D intervention on upper respiratory infections

Important view here especially for COVID-19 response. This video lecture is a review of medical literature on Vit D3 efficacy in respiratory infections.

Study reveals that COVID-19 attacks hemoglobin in red blood cells

Important read here especially for first responders, ER, ICU. “…study reveals that COVID-19 attacks hemoglobin in red blood cells, rendering it incapable of transporting oxygen.”
The following full paper is more precisely worded than the review article linked above.  The full paper is linked in the review article, but here is the link.  https://chemrxiv.org/articles/COVID-19_Disease_ORF8_and_Surface_Glycoprotein_Inhibit_Heme_Metabolism_by_Binding_to_Porphyrin/11938173
This sort of computer modelling study must be done in drug/vaccine and diagnostic development.  The paper is NOT a recommended treatment, as they clearly state, no clinical testing has been done.  No invitro testing has been done.  They call for such testing.
And here is one anecdotal, single case report that appears to confirm the computer-modeled hypothetical mechanism of action.

Abstract
 
An 80-year-old man with multiple comorbidities presented to the emergency department with tachypnea, tachycardia, fever and critically low O2 saturation and definitive chest CT scan findings in favor of COVID-19 and positive PCR results in 48 h. He received antiviral treatment plus recombinant human Erythropoietin(rhEPO) due to his severe anemia. After 7 days of treatment, he was discharged with miraculous improvement in his symptoms and hemoglobin level. We concluded that rhEPO could attenuate respiratory distress syndrome and confront the SARS-CoV-2 virus through multiple mechanisms including cytokine modulation, anti-apoptotic effects, leukocyte release from bone marrow, and iron redistribution away from the intracellular virus.

Rate of increase in C-19 deaths in U.S. declined versus previous week

Comparing the rate of deaths from C-19 in the US week over week, the rate of growth of deaths declined from 620% last week to 153% this week.  The rate of deaths is still growing in the US.  Deaths more than doubled in the last 7 days.  But 153% growth is better than 620% growth.  The curve is flattening.  We need to keep doing what we are doing until the growth rate is 0% or turns negative.  We are not out of danger yet.

Death stats are the best stats we have and they are pretty good. It is the most reliable data available. Docs and hospitals report deaths routinely…the measurement system is in place. It is not important whether the person died solely because of C-19…because we can never be certain of cause of death even if each dead patient had an full autopsy (which would be impossible.) On the other hand, if they died AND tested positive, we have a reliable statistic which we can then compare with ongoing statistical death rate trends from other diseases.

It is not necessary to have an independent variable to do reliable statistics, in fact that almost never happens. Statistics requires reliable, reproducible sampling. Statistics on new C-19 cases, infection rate, recovery rate etc are skewed by variability in the availability of tests, lack of knowledge about symptom-free transmission, re-infection rate, mutation rate, date of first community transmission, etc.

Population eugenics by idealogy

Entire nations have decimated their gene pools for many decades, so there is no surprise …to me at least …that solutions, problem solvers, real leaders and true creativity are rare. The beliefs and idealogies that result in gene pool decimation are vastly different, but the end result is the same. China wiped out generations of its babies by its “one child” policy. Muslims have killed 8 of their own brothers and sisters per infidel killed in order to maintain their idealogy. Europeans and Americans have killed hundreds of millions of innocent babies in the womb to sustain their lifestyles and the tax rates required to sustain our socialist cradle-to-grave governments. These are just a few of the major, ongoing idealogies that control entire societies today and each of them decimates the gene pool of individuals and individual liberty. If God did not want us to be free, to think for ourselves, then human population would already be like ant or bee colonies. These idealogies are hubris. Guilt in humans is driving entire populations to eugenics and genocide, but they call it religion, women’s rights, shared global responsibility, a new world order, sustainability and climate change. Jesus sacrificed himself to free us from that guilt, from that inital sin, from that hubris. No one need join any organization to understand His truth, love and sacrifice and thereby be free, as God made us. What God made, too many humans are casting asunder or intentionally disrupting. Thus, the extent of human problems today is no surprise.

More ridiculous UN and WHO stuff

UN Secretary General called for a 10% tax on the global economy…”at least 10% of global gross domestic product” …to fight the Covid-18 Wuhan virus…to be managed and controlled by the WHO and UN.  That would be about $8.7 Trillion.  He also asked for several other ridiculous things.

Reminder, the UN-associated WHO, World Heath Organization, is the the same group that announced the following on January 14, 2020:

Screenshot_2020-04-03 UN Wants a 10% Global Tax to Pay for New Shared Responsibility Program to Address Coronavirus Pandemic.

Now, in addition to all the many other deplorable activities of the UN, here during a viral epidemic started in China, and spread by China, the UN has appointed China to its Human Rights Commission. Mr. President, get us out of the UN and WHO. #RealDonaldTrump, #WhiteHouse
