Could this be why so few people have died in Australia??

This little bastard of a virus seems to be more complicated than we first thought.

From a very reliable Danish media source.



We have been used to regard covid-19 as a serious lung disease that affects breathing so much that for some patients it becomes fatal.

But maybe we should look at the new virus differently. Many doctors point in this direction, according to Danish doctors interviewed by the Health Policy Journal .

Both Danish and foreign intensive care physicians who treat coronary patients see so many blood clots and blood vessel damage in their patients that it is suspected that the new virus is not a common respiratory virus at all.

"We see that unexpectedly large COVID patients form blood clots in both the veins and arteries of the lungs, arms and legs and probably also in the kidneys, so the preventive treatment guidelines have been changed and double dose of blood thinners is given to those patients. who are hospitalized on intensive. It is a problem that we do not understand the root cause of, ”says a consultant at Hillerød Hospital's intensive care unit, Carsten Huus Jensen for the Health Policy Journal.

He believes there is more at stake than just a respiratory illness - that is, a disease that affects the respiratory tract - and his colleague, chief physician in anesthesiology and intensive therapy at Næstved Hospital, Kenneth Jensen, agrees.

He wonders if covid-19 is as much a circulatory disease as a respiratory disease. Maybe in reality first and foremost a circulatory disease.

A circulatory disease means that the disease affects the blood vessels in the body, and that may explain why many corona patients get blood clots and vessel damage.

Torben Mogensen, hospital director and chairman of the Lung Association, also points out that studies have shown that young corona patients who did not have the typical lung symptoms nevertheless exhibited severe neurological symptoms.

He calls for more knowledge about whether it is the coronavirus that attacks the circuit or whether it is the response of the immune system to the virus that causes damage to the circuit.

If coronavirus attacks the circuit, Kenneth Jensen explains why some groups are particularly prone to getting seriously ill from the virus.

New research shows that viruses attack what is called endothelial cells, which are on the inside of blood vessels, the heart and lymph vessels.

And it makes the virus more deadly for people who have a dysfunction in the type of cells that you see it in those at risk of becoming seriously ill with coronavirus.


This is not just a seasonal flu!!

5G will set fire to our hair

Only the 5G enabled hair dryers. I hope people still have stashed away some of those old fashioned hair dryers,
they will come in handy. But there are 2 ways of looking at this, 5G might fry our cells, but the good news is that 5G is so bad, it may also be the only treatment for COVID19 So what will end up nuking our brains, might actually be the holy grail of cures. It's perhaps the only thing Trump has not touted in his long list of miracle cures against covid19

P.S. I hope you do understand that 5G is non ionising radiation - it's not always wise to listen to members of the illuminati

Yeah, a rushed vaccine definitely - just like the H1N1 vaccine that caused Guillaume Barre in some people.
Who knows what a rushed covid19 vaccine do to people, one thing for sure, it will include tracking chips,
it will allow authorities to instantly change your DNA - So if there is too much population governments can ORDER deaths and diseases on demand. Ok mind you not any different than it is now, albeit more personalised thanks to individual chips !

I am not taking any vaccine for covid19, I'd rather DIE than be injected some vaccine by some corrupt, money hungry, greedy and evil pharmaceutical with money interests tied to thieving politicians around the world.

So can I

Oh!! Hi Darkstar

To finally being quoted by you again, It's an honor (Highlight of the month).

Yes!! there is really not much to be exited about at the moment.


Sadly i got corona yesterday, 6 of them in fact!!

It will be HORRIBLE!! THE END


5G will set fire to our hair

The Oxford vaccine will have a side-effect and turn everyone into mad ravenous killers.

The internet will go bust and cause more physical socializing (Disgusting and could cause all kind of germs).

All beer companies will go bust, And Coors light will be distributed worldwide as the only option.

I could go on forever!!!

I ditched my smartphone years ago, And i have not missed it since. screen is way too small and my big clumsy fingers always gets in the way and mess up the search on it.

But if you're out travelling or in surroundings unknown to you, They suddenly become quite useful to have.


There are different types of tracking, And most of it is companies who love shoving their commercials right up your nostrils and into your lemming brain to make you buy a lot of things you absolutely don't need (buy buy buy Beep beep)

But when the state offers tracking I suddenly become much more hesitant.


This pandemic has also shown me a little hint of what it could be like!! living in a surveillance state, A lot of fines of $400 have been handed out if the police found you in a locked down area (Even if you're alone in that area) or if they felt the social distance rule was not upheld in general.


God!! i miss my social activities, If i die it might not even be of Covid 19

The concensus is 12 to 18 months would be very vast.

Yes! under normal circumstances it could take a couple of years and maybe even 20 if you're in no rush.

But this one is already developed and tested, They are just waiting for the result.

If everything goes as planned, Mass distribution could begin in July (But september/october would probably be a better guees).


I'm talking about distribution to the more vulnerable population (globally).

I don't think i need it either.

But if it works as intended older or weaker people would greatly benefit from it, I'm in no rush

Oxford vaccine on its way: - We know the answer in six weeks

A group of researchers from Oxford University have created a vaccine that they believe works against coronavirus. We have the final answer in six weeks.

The whole world is hungry for a vaccine against the damned coronavirus.

And now a number of researchers from Oxford University say they have an answer as to whether their vaccine works in mid-June. Small six weeks from now.

It writes several British media including The Telegraph .

Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, says hundreds of Britons have now received the vaccine, and so it's all about waiting and crossing fingers.

- Hundreds have been vaccinated now, and we hope to get some signals about whether it works or not in mid-June.

Now that it's been approved, we don't want to spend time going back and figuring out how to get it out to as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time, says John Bell.

That's why Oxford University's team has already made a deal with pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca, which will be in charge of mass-producing the vaccine.

If all goes well, it means that those at risk will be vaccinated first. And preferably worldwide.

"We are very conscious that we do not want to delay the availability of this vaccine," he says.


If the spelling is off it's because i just translated it with google and copy pasted it

They have given loans and grants to businesses.

Some States are locked down tighter than others.

Some States are opening businesses bit by bit and some have opened beaches and other
areas where people gather. Most wonder what the outcome of that is going to be...more
infection or what.

Yeah yeah spelling error!! it should have said covid-19 and not 10 , I don't know what covid-10 is.


We are also starting to open up more or less, Dining service (only outside) should open in the middle of this month, And our national soccer league also continuing at the end of this month.

Maybe we'll catch up with the Swedish statistics in a month or so

valerie wrote: That was the first approved stimulus check.

The senate has been out but were to be back May 1st. They are discussing a second stimulus
package. The monies discussed now is $2,000 for six months or 12 months. We won't know
until they come out with it. That is, per month.

In regards to health insurance, any cover-19 health related issue is covered by the government.
So in reality, those that don't have insurance are at least some what better off in that regard
because they won't have to be concerned with health care costs if they need to be tested for
covid-19 or get sick from it.

Keep in mind, there are various forms of health care in America. Even many jobs that are
part time, will have health care options that the worker can purchase. There is also Medicare
for those over 65 years of age. Also, State Medicaid is based on income for adults/children/families.

I'm aware that there are several options when it comes to healthcare in the US (Including state aid), And for foreigners it's a bit more complex than we are used to. The question was more related to what are being done during covid 19

While it's true that many Americans buys a lot of stuff and having issues with controlling their spending, There is also a nice percentage that can only afford their rent and basic needs due to low paid jobs.

600$ is quite generous and is about the same amount one on early pension would receive in Denmark if it was based on a week and not every month

Sounds like amnesia.

P.S. do you have any bazuka for sale ?

Why are they buying guns???

Australia is nicely isolated from the rest of the world, And they are one of the countries that are faring best during this pandemic.

valerie wrote: A few things....

People in the US, always buy guns. Always. It's big sales and actually always has been.
The only time gun sales literally jump through the roofs is when people think the government
might restrict the sales. So, when the media states people in the US are buying guns, it is
laughable because people always buy guns.

Every adult in America received a stimulus check or bank deposit in the amount of $1,200.00.
Those with children, also received in addition, $500.00 per child. If you were a married couple
with three children, your total stimulus was $3,900.00. There is some exception to this such
as a person owing child support. If a person owes $1,200 in child support or more, that person
would not get the stimulus check.

Even if you are retired, such as myself, I received the $1,200.00 stimulus direct deposit.

In addition, if you are unemployed and filed for unemployment, you will receive $600 per
week, in unemployment. I have some friends that received $3,900.00 in stimulus and
the woman works at Walmart and her husband is unemployed receiving $600.00 per week.

The reality is, for many people, they are receiving more than if they were working.

Also, those on SNAP benefits have received more. At least one I know of received almost
twice the allotment as usual. SNAP (food stamps).

Many people in the US live beyond their means. Not everyone of course but many do.
Those that live beyond their means, probably have the toughest go of it during hard times
like these. Hopefully it is a wake up call for them.

I'd hate to have everything some people have and have the worry those people have.

Is there any estimate for how long they'll receive this benefit??, From my point of view employees at a supermarket is also front-line workers. An idea would be that they should at least also receive free healthcare during this crisis if they need it, According to some of my family members in the US many of them are only part-time workers and therefore don't have insurance from their workplace.

But to be fair and see things in a neutral way, You also have to take peoples low wage in consideration as many will not be able to pay their rent or take properly care of their families if they are not able to go to work.

many people in the US (Sadly) lives from pay-check to pay-check as i'm sure many other residents from other countries knows all about!, Many can't even afford going to the hospital if they contract covid 19.

They will probably blame the democrats as always, And that is only a good thing for the democrats as they will "wisely" use this in a political way to fire right back at the right-wingers to make them look really stupid.

And that is how the game goes in the US, A fine game of cherry-picking.

The US!! a big big country with a big big diversity in the population, And no-one can ever agree to anything.



If Mr Trump want's to turn the tides of the coming election he needs to start taking responsibility and stop firing left and right to put the blame on anyone else but himself. He's the head of the country and needs to act like one.

Don't eat the red mushrooms Tas!

Dark' theory about coronavirus vaccination emerges

Nearly a third of Americans believe a coronavirus vaccine exists but is being withheld from the public, according to a new survey.

The Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape Project with USA TODAY asked 6,200 Americans between April 2 and 8 about coronavirus.

Thirty-two per cent responded they believe a vaccine exists for COVID-19 but isn’t being distributed.
Robert Griffin, research director for the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, told USA Today he found that particular result “pretty shocking”.

That's a pretty dark type of thought to be floating around the public, he said.

There's an undercurrent of a lack of trust in society, a lack of trust in elites.

Yes!! And that is also why i beat the drums for a political game-changer, Cause at the moment it don't instill trust in many populations.

Politics is serious decisions and not a game-competition, Sadly way too many are treating it like that.

It's not about faking actual footage, Its about how biased media have become in the US.

My problem is the staggering amount of people eagerly blindfolding themselves to idolize a certain political god who can do no wrong (That goes for many countries).

Watching politics in the US is like watching a WWF match where the goal is to destroy the opponent in every possible way, Stop playing the political game and start playing the real one (But that requires self-processed thinking).

this link on what he is saying is more relevant than the others posted Trump Suggests Injecting Disinfectant Into The Body To Treat Coronavirus | MSNBC - YouTube
(And Yes!! he actually said it, But it's also easy to interpret it in different ways).

What the US really needs is a political party that are not obligated on right vs left politics, But instead dedicate themselves to want the majority of the population wants.

If he really did say that, He is not mature enough for the position as president. Even though i find his comment a bit funny it's simply not the right time or place to joke about that, I would't be surprised if some of his most devoted supporters actually went ahead and did exactly that.

But is there any real evidence that he actually said that, Remember!! This is American media where the left and right parties will use every trick in the book and use every bit of misinformation to their advantage (As always).

I simply can't think of any other country where the media is more biased, If i were a permanent resident in the US i would only believe what comes out of the horses mouth and nothing else.


Any links from FOX news

You can't have a war with China.

Who else is going to do the cheap labor, Never heard of "MADE IN CHINA)


And Trump already has a war against Corona, many states imprisoned and needs to be liberated again.
