The Chinese virus is a social evil that seems to attack good social behavior, like going to churches and synagogues, socializing across generations, and making sure that grandchildren interact with their grandparents, while rewarding bad social behavior, isolation and distancing. It’s almost designed to further fragment American social life…

At a time when the country should be coming together, their only thought is of how to tear it apart for their political profit, racializing the virus and then blaming it on racism, instead of on Communist China, which lied about the pandemic, may have created it, and then cornered the market on protective gear.

Grandparents who can’t see their children because parents are scared stiff, workers who can’t go to work, politicians using this opportunity to further their controls, and veterans who can’t be buried to rifle salutes, taps or committal ceremonies.  All of impoverishing America, financially, spiritually and mentally.

I find it all disgusting.

At the very beginning of this outbreak, while I didn’t dismiss the threat of the Coronavirus, I stated to several friends online, and to family and extended family, that we haven’t yet heard the whole story on this.  It’s buried, and if anyone knows it all, he isn’t talking, or if he does, he’ll probably not be talking for long.  He’ll disappear.

I was perhaps the first out of the gate saying that this was an engineered virus.  My background is engineering and mathematical model development, and so the lack of background with microbiology caused most people to ignore my statements.  But to me, the facts that this virus hasn’t learned to live among the population without killing its host, is the perfect admixture of SARs, Bat-SARs and HIV to cause problems with humans, and came from near a weapons lab, along with the Chinese doctrine of unrestricted warfare, pointed to something much more sinister than a wet market.  I would also mention my views on the second law of thermodynamics and increasing entropy, and the virtual perfection in development of this pathogen versus the stochastic diminution that would occur in nature.

Then along came Paul Cotrell’s video (he has many more since then) followed by the Epoch Times research, in which the microbiology studies were supplemented by the paper trail, and it suddenly became a little more difficult to dismiss my assertions.

Next up, this post addresses this same issue in at least as comprehensive a fashion as Dr. Cotrell’s analysis, and it is must reading if you really want to understand the origin of this virus.

The bureaucracy is now arguing that this virus came from the deepest part of China in a bat cave somewhere (note that this is a modification of the paradigm they gave earlier, which is that it came from the wet market near Wuhan, an argument that fell flat when it became wider knowledge that many of the very early and original Coronavirus patients had no connection whatsoever to the wet market and never went there).  Google “patient 31.”  This is an actual person with a number, meaning that they know about patients 0 – 30, and exactly where they were and weren’t, and more than likely how they got the virus.

There model then was wrong, and their model now is wrong (or better, a lie).  Furthermore, they continue to argue that Hydroxychloroquine isn’t an effective therapeutic and are trying to do their very best to prove it (I have multiple documents in my possession to the N.C. hospital system concerning this very subject).  They want Remdesivir to be in wide use, being a patented drug, and able to make a lot of money for big Pharma.

Their epidemiological models were wrong from the beginning, and are still wrong today.  The CDC has been fighting gun violence, obesity, and racism, so anything to do with biology and analytical statistics is rather too difficult for them.  Apparently, the CDC has become a FedGov jobs program for people who can’t otherwise do real work.

Just recently I stumbled across another interesting video where a doctor treating Coronavirus patients in New York challenged the entire paradigm for treatment of this disease.  This is necessary watching, and the authority he brings stands based on experience, and in my opinion shouldn’t be questioned.  He’s been there and done it.  I haven’t, and you haven’t.

So here it’s appropriate to point out that we’ve also discussed the model for treatment of this disease.

When the red blood cell gets to the alveoli, or the little sacs in your lungs where all the gas exchange happens, that special little iron ion can flip between FE2+ and FE3+ states with electron exchange and bond to some oxygen, then it goes off on its little merry way to deliver o2 elsewhere.

Here’s where COVID-19 comes in. Its glycoproteins bond to the heme, and in doing so that special and toxic oxidative iron ion is “disassociated” (released). It’s basically let out of the cage and now freely roaming around on its own.

Without the iron ion, hemoglobin can no longer bind to oxygen. Once all the hemoglobin is impaired, the red blood cell is essentially turned into a Freightliner truck cab with no trailer and no ability to store its cargo.. it is useless and just running around with COVID-19 virus attached to its porphyrin.

This, I observed, is like carboxyhemoglobin, where carbon monoxide binds with the red blood cells and doesn’t just leave no room oxygen (it’s worse than that), but it hangs on and doesn’t give room for oxygen until the patient is treated in a hyperbaric chamber.

Now, it’s important to note that there are reactions to this author’s assertions like in the comments to this article written by a smarter-than-thou researcher.

Another dubious link.

Just who is ‘libertymavenstock’? What qualifications to they have to ELI5?
What is with ridiculous lines like:

‘Well, a few had some things eerily correct (cough Trump cough), especially with Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromicin[sic], but we’ll get to that in a minute.’

There is a big quote in that article and I can’t see where it is from.

How could anyone take such an article seriously?

I guess the doctor’s conclusions from New York would seem to justify the assertion that something is happening in the blood to cause problems with the uptake of oxygen and delivery to the cells.

You see, smarter-than-thou writers and commenters who know everything tell you what they know, and most often they’re wrong.  In this particular case, the entire treatment paradigm may be so wrong that it’s harming patients rather than helping them.  And smarter-than-thou commenters and researchers who do this sort of thing are most often proven wrong if they just waited a little while, but are never held to account.  It’s embarrassing that they aren’t embarrassed by it all.  It’s sort of like watching a speaker piss in his pants or fart out loud in front of a room full of people.  The listeners almost can’t watch, cover their faces, speak in hushed tones, and generally want him to stop.  Some laugh.  These smarter-than-thou folks are pissing in their pants, and are hoisted on their own petard.

Next up, the model you had squirreled away for who’s involved in all of this at the root level, is wrong too.  This video will help.

The source video is here.  You see, up until very recently, the NIH was neck deep in all of this research, Harvard, UNC and Canada being involved before that.

There are sinister forces at work, and what you’re being told about how this virus originated, how it is spreading, how society should behave, what’s effective as a therapeutic, what treatment paradigm needs to be followed, and who stands to benefit from it all, is a story the full extent of which hasn’t yet been told, but is being teased out by very good researchers little by little.

Even the textual underpinnings of the narrative has changed.  “Social distancing” was the byword before now.  I recently drove into S.C. and as soon as I did I passed road signs that said in alternating lights, “Go home … stay home.”  You’re beginning to see all of that fade in favor of “contact tracing.”  They know you object, but they are going to help by doing it without you even having to put an App on your cell phone.  Google and Apple are their partners in health.  They are willing to bet that you’re so desperate to return to work that you’ll accept just about anything to make a living again.

Jettison your models.  They’re no good.  Not a single one of them.

Results are about as I expected they would be.  I still want at least one of each.

In the cabin, there was a gun rack. David’s father left four guns hanging on it when he went to fight the fire. There was a double-barreled LC Smith 12 gauge shotgun; a surplus O3-A3 Springfield .30-06, sporterized by Sedgely; a Remington model 721 .300 H&H Magnum; and a Winchester model 61 pump-action .22 rifle. David’s father kept the .22 loaded for when it was necessary to dispatch a porcupine (porcupines do enormous damage to timber) or to harvest a grouse for the pot.

[ … ]

She screamed at the bear, to get out and grabbed the little Winchester .22 pump from the gun rack. She knew it was loaded.

David looked at his mother. She had the .22 rifle in her hands. She screamed at the bear again. Get Out!

The bear ignored the screams and started working its way in through the window.

David’s mother stopped screaming. She brought the rifle to her shoulder and started shooting.

[ … ]

David’s mother explained what had happened. The two men loaded the .30-06 and the .300 H&H Magnum and followed the blood trail.

There, behind the woodshed, was the bear, dead, only 30 yards from the kitchen window.

David watched his father and brother skin out the bear. As he watched, his father pointed to the wounds his mother had inflicted on the bear with the .22 Winchester model 61 pump-gun.

One shot went into the upper left jaw. Another shot went through the left eye. A third shot was just above the left eye. A fourth shot was in the nose, and a fifth shot was just below the right side of the jaw, in the neck, cutting the carotid artery on the right side. That shot was fatal. Blood had squirted from the artery, spraying the kitchen sink, the window frame, and on to the porch. The blood trail was heavy, and lead to the dead bear behind the woodshed.

A bear’s brain is located low, between and behind the eyes. A shot to or above the eye will often miss the brain.

That was a mighty fine shot, but I’ll tell you what.  I’d much rather have a large bore gun for large predators.

Smart ass collectivist who hates home schooling.

I know that math stuff is hard for “JournoLists.”  If you can’t solve a differential equation, you might want to begin by adding and subtracting numbers.

“Should you choose to classify such a firearm as a ‘Destructive Device’ under CFR 479.11 the firearms mentioned in the ATF article also have a barrel diameter of greater than one half inch (12 gauge being approximately .69 inches),” Savage continued, revealing how TF had closed the door on that alternative as well. “The Destructive Device definition does exempt shotguns, however since the firearms described in the article are neither rifles nor shotguns … I would remind you, I would NOT be changing bore diameter of the firearm that is neither a rifle nor a shotgun mentioned in the article. Making such a classification would appear most arbitrary and capricious given the facts at hand.”

“Marty Ewer used to own Shockwave Industries.” Savage explains. “I gave Marty my letter as he was making a birds head grip so that a factory 14″ barrel could be purchased and installed legally. He later sold the trade name shockwave to Mossberg and retired.”

“For what it’s worth, I also approached Mossberg and was rebuffed,” Savage adds. “I posted the letters on several gun boards and gave it to anyone who wanted to make them.”

Historic Arms, LLC developed the first firearm taking advantage of “the rules” and received the first ATF approval. All I ask is that we don’t forget Len Savage’s contribution and his name.

After discussing this with Len several years ago, I wrote Mossberg and asked to speak to their attorney.  To my surprise, he called me within minutes.

His discussions with me were interesting and he defended the use of the term “firearm.”  I’ve never told him so, but congratulations to Len on this victory.

Len is one of the very good guys, and I’m proud to know him.  I wish he could have gotten some scratch out of this.

NRO.

We identified only a single outbreak in an outdoor environment, which involved two cases. The first salient feature of the 318 identified outbreaks that involved three or more cases is that they all occurred in indoor environments. Although this finding was expected, its significance has not been well recognised by the community and by policy makers. Indoors is where our lives and work are in modern civilisation. The transmission of respiratory infections such as SARS-CoV-2 from the infected to the susceptible is an indoor phenomenon.

And yet governors across the country are closing parks.

The CDC failed to ensure enough PPEs were available for a pandemic.  The CDC failed to develop good models for things just like this.  The CDC failed to “war game” such an outbreak.  The CDC failed to tell the truth about all of this for many months.

The CDC continues to give false information and bad recommendations to the public.  The CDC cannot even keep the models up-to-date and correct.  The CDC begged for more money to study racism and “gun violence.”  The CDC failed to shut down experimentation on this very bug at UNC, Harvard, and in Canada, and failed to warn others about what was happening.  The CDC fails to incorporate consideration for a completely failed economy in their calculus and its cost to human lives.

The CDC cannot agree on a therapeutic, even though they recommended the very thing for treatment that’s working now, Hydroxychloroquine, back in 2005, and are now denying that this very therapeutic works.  The CDC continues to be an impediment to progress on this, not a catalyst for success.

Because the CDC is full of ne’er-do-wells, morons, rubes, hicks, rednecks, idiots and awful people.

So when I went on this rant with my daughter this afternoon, she responded: “Well, you keep calling them idiots, and I think you’re ignoring the fact that this could be the result of intentional and nefarious behavior on their part.”

That’s my daughter.  Good girl.  The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

News from Florida.

Citing the Stand Your Ground law, the Fifth District Court of Appeals dismissed the longstanding charges against a Port St. John man accused of shooting a Brevard County Sheriff’s deputy during a botched arrest in front of his home in 2015.

The decision, issued Wednesday, ends the prosecution of John DeRossett, 60, on the attempted premeditated first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer while discharging a firearm, News 6 partner Florida Today reported.

DeRossett spent nearly five years at the Brevard County Jail Complex in Sharpes as he awaited a trial. He was allowed to leave on bond in March.

“The appellate decision is better than a jury acquittal. An acquittal only means not guilty. This order means that John is innocent, that his actions were justified, and that he never should have been arrested in the first place. It’s a total vindication,” said Michael Panella, DeRossett’s Orlando-based attorney.

“Great, great. Thank God. Thank Jesus. Thank everybody, thank you. You just don’t know, how it feels, you know? I’m trying to hold the tears back,” DeRossett said in a statement issued to Florida Today.

Florida Today reached out to Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey for comment, but no statements have been released.

The appellate court found that DeRosset, whose attorneys argued that he did not know he was firing at deputies, was entitled to protect his home against what he thought was a threat.

Prosecutors and Brevard County sheriff’s investigators said DeRossett opened fire at deputies who were arresting his niece on a prostitution charge.

DeRossett’s attorney’s argued that he did not know who the men were confronting his niece and that he was responding to her screams for help at the front door.

The shooting took place as the sheriff’s office investigated reports of prostitution taking place at the home Mary Ellis DeRossett, 47, shared with her uncle, DeRossett.

Good.  Now in order to close the loop on this ordeal, throw the district attorney who jailed him in prison for five years.

Listen.  I don’t care who you are or what your claim to authority is.  You don’t do something in or near another man’s home without specific and explicit approval from the head of the household.  Not someone who happens to live there – the head of the household.

I don’t care what this woman did.  The cops didn’t talk to the head of the household.  Maybe next time they should knock, ask to speak to the head of the household, and explain their position.

If the man thought his niece was under threat, he had a right to shoot, regardless of who was at the door.
