Dr. Fauci Just Warned of This ‘Very Disturbing’ COVID Symptom
U.S coronavirus: Dr. Fauci says rushing reopening could have devastating consequences.
The United States needs to get control of Covid-19 and carefully reopen the country,
or the consequences could be devastating, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday.
“To think that it’s just the flu and get the economy back, it’s not gonna happen,”
Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert, told actor Matthew McConaughey
in an interview on Instagram.
“It’s just not gonna happen. You gotta do both. You gotta get control of the biology as you carefully open the country.” Fauci emphasized the importance of acting in a measured, prudent way. He noted that Americans have seen the consequences of jumping over the guideposts that have been established for safe reopening.
He said it goes beyond the financial aspects and that what happens it could be
devastating psychologically and medically.
“If you’re really shut down, children may not get their vaccinations.
People don’t go to hospitals when they get chest pain,” he added. “There’s a lot of different things that could go wrong, beyond the economy.” He also gave another grim warning.
“There’s projections that if you stay shut down, the number of deaths unrelated to Covid will go up,” he said. “The number of suicides, overdoses, family issues, such as child abuse and things like that, they all go up.” Ultimately, Fauci said that he believes the country can come together to overcome the virus.
The CDC issued a dire warning for the fall
A top federal health official is issuing a dire warning: Follow recommended coronavirus measures or risk having the worst fall in US public health history.
“For your country right now and for the war that we’re in against Covid-19,
I’m asking you to do four simple things: wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands and be smart about crowds,” said Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“I’m not asking some of America to do it,” he told WebMD. “We all gotta do it.”
Without following the recommendations, this could be “the worst fall,
from a public health perspective, we’ve ever had,” he said.
Some officials are already preparing for the coming months.
Mayor Quinton Lucas of Kansas City, Missouri, extended the city’s coronavirus state of emergency order until January 16, 2021. The order requires most people to wear face coverings in public places and
limits crowds at bars to 50% capacity.
“It is now obvious to everyone that Covid-19 is not going away over the next five months,”
Kansas City Health Department Director Dr. Rex Archer said in a news release Thursday.
“As we move out of summer and into fall and winter, we will still be confronting this health emergency.”
The flu season also occurs in the fall and winter, the CDC said.
Coronavirus has infected more than 5.2 million people, according to Johns Hopkins University. Coronavirus continues to spread at high rates across the South, Midwest and West — even as the total number of new cases has declined following a summer surge.
The seven-day average of daily coronavirus deaths was over 1,000 on Thursday, the 18th consecutive day the US averaged over 1,000 deaths per day.
“You can’t run away from the numbers,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Diseases, said during a National Geographic panel Thursday. “You can’t run away from the numbers of people who’ve died, the number of people getting hospitalized, the surges we’re seeing.”
You asked, we’re answering: Your top coronavirus questions
Dr. Tina Hartert of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center said lack of faith in the vaccine can lead to major outbreaks. She described the government’s communication on the vaccine as crucial. “We should have started on this months ago but it’s never too late to start this important messaging. Because otherwise the messaging people will listen to is the story of one child from another parent,”
Hartert told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Dr. Mike Ryan, the executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme, said governments will need to have a “dialogue” with their citizens about vaccination. “I think science and government have a job to do that is to make the case,” Ryan said Thursday. “I think communities and people have a job to do, which is to listen to that case, and hopefully the result of that will be a widely accepted successful vaccine that could bring this pandemic to an end.”

I hope you stay well, but if COVID-19 strikes you or a loved one, I hope you can find a doctor willing and able to help you. Yale epidemiologist Harvey Frisch told Laura Ingraham that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) could save up to 100,000 lives.
But you probably won’t be able to get it. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, with or without a positive test, your doctor may tell you to stay home, isolate yourself, take Tylenol for symptoms, and go to the ER if you can’t breathe. Once in the hospital, you might—or might not—get the $3,000 new drug Remdesivir or
qualify for a clinical trial.
If you get HCQ it will likely be too late to help.
Antiviral drugs need to be given early. HCQ was FDA approved in 1955 and has been taken safely by hundreds of millions of people. High government officials who are determining federal policy insist in private that doctors have the legal authority to prescribe HCQ or other FDA-approved drugs for “off-label” uses. However, the FDA has refused to reverse statements that state and local authorities cite to threaten doctors or pharmacists who provide you with this cheap remedy.
AAPS has filed for an injunction to force the FDA to stop obstructing use of this drug, while it hoards and wastes the millions of doses that manufacturers donated to the Strategic National Stockpile. If a drug could save 100,000 lives, then government agencies that block its use are responsible for 100,000 needless deaths. In some countries in Central America, officials are going door to door to distribute HCQ. Poor countries that allow free use of HCQ have far lower death rates than rich countries that hinder it.

When Did the Coronavirus Arrive in the U.S.? Here’s a Review of the Evidence.
Was the virus here in January? In December? Earlier? Here’s a look at the evidence of
how the virus emerged from China and landed in the United States.
By Mike Baker

SEATTLE — In a county north of Seattle, two people who came down with respiratory illnesses
in December now have antibodies for the coronavirus.
In Florida, a public health official who got sick in January believes he had Covid-19.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the first case of coronavirus in the United States. After returning to Seattle, Washington, from traveling in Wuhan, China, a man in his 30s began to experience pneumonia-like symptoms, the CDC announced Tuesday.
“Based on the patient’s travel history and symptoms, healthcare professionals suspected this new coronavirus. A clinical specimen was collected and sent to CDC overnight, where laboratory testing yesterday confirmed the diagnosis,” the CDC said in a press release.
The man is being treated at a hospital in Everett, outside Seattle, and “(The patient) is in good condition and is hospitalized out of an abundance of precaution and for short-term monitoring, not because there was severe illness,” Washington state health officials said.

Many of the patients in China are believed to have gotten sick after spending time at a food market in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people. But according to officials, the U.S. patient reported that he was “just traveling through the area,” and did not visit the market or know anyone who was ill. State health officials said the man did not take a direct flight from Wuhan to the U.S., but did not say which airports he flew through to get to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on January 15. Washington Governor Jay Inslee said Tuesday night that the man fell ill a day after arriving in the U.S., and sought medical treatment on the same day.
He added that the man lived alone and traveled alone.
And in California, a surprising discovery that an early-February death in San Jose was linked to the coronavirus triggered a broader search for how that person was exposed. As those cases have contributed to growing questions about when the virus first reached the United States and how long it had been circulating by the time its arrival was publicly confirmed in Washington State at the end of February.
While there was limited testing to uncover specific cases before then, researchers have other tools to trace the path of the coronavirus. That includes genomic sequencing of the virus to help scientists build an ancestral tree of cases, a re-examination of specific deaths and thousands of old flu samples that have been repurposed to look for the coronavirus.
Here is a look at the evidence and what it shows:
I got really sick in February. Did I have the coronavirus?
It is possible, but it was most likely something else.
The Seattle area emerged as an early epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak at the end of February, but there is compelling evidence that, even there, the virus did not yet have much of a foothold compared with the flu, which had a particularly potent season. A team that analyzes flu trends in the region has been able to review nearly 7,000 old flu samples collected from around the region in January and February, re-examining them for the coronavirus. All of the samples from January were negative. The earliest sample that tested positive was Feb. 20.
Based on that and later case counts, Trevor Bedford, who studies the evolution of viruses at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, and who was part of the flu study team, estimated that there were probably a few hundred cases in the area by that point.

A New York Post editorial on July 3 denounced the Liberal Media,
including The New York Times and Washington Post, for disseminating the false narrative that the recent spike in COVID-19 cases was mainly attributable to states with Republican governors, who recklessly re-opened a few months ago.
By Mark Schulte
“Media Refuse to Admit the Coronavirus Doesn’t Care About Red vs. Blue” notes that in April the “national daily death toll was often above 2,000,” but it has now plunged to “around 600.” But neither the NY Post nor other conservative media outlets have documented how many coronavirus fatalities occurred in states with Republican governors, as compared to the number of deaths in states with Democrats.
Based on the death tolls compiled at the Atlantic Magazine’s COVID Tracking Project,
as of the afternoon of July 6, I calculated that the 26 states with Republican governors have 35,384 coronavirus deaths, or 29%, of America’s 121,926.
The 24 states with Democratic governors have 86,542 deaths, or 71% of the nation’s fatalities.
However, on July 1, 2019,the 24 Democratic-led states had 177,301,000 residents, or 54.2%, of the nation’s 326,826,000 people. The 26 Republican-led states had 149,525,000, or 45.8%.
Thus, the states with Republican governors have 23.7 deaths per 100,000 residents,
while those with Democratic governors have 48.8 deaths per 100,000.
With a population of 326,826,000 and 121,926 coronavirus deaths,
America’s fatality rate is 37.3 per 100,000.
What factors account for states with Democratic governors having more than double the number of deaths per 100,000 residents, as compared to those with Republicans?
The primary reason is that the three states in metro New York – New York with 24,904 deaths, New Jersey with 15,211 and Connecticut with 4,335 – accounting for a mind-boggling 44,450 deaths, or 36.5%, of the nation’s 121,926 total fatalities. But in 2019, the three states total population of 31,903,000 represented just 9.7% of America’s 326,826,000 people.
Their COVID-19 death rates per 100,000 residents are:
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York: 128.0
Gov. Phil Murphy’s New Jersey: 171.3
Gov. Ned Lamont’s Connecticut: 121.6
New York City, led by the serially incompetent Democrat Bill de Blasio,
has 18,596 deaths as of July 6, or 223.1 per 100,000 residents.
While Andrew Cuomo’s New York has the second highest fatality rate among the 50 states,
the three states with larger populations – California, Texas, Florida – has a combined 12,800 fatalities as of July 6, and thus much lower death rates. California’s Democratic governor is Gavin Newsom, and the Republican governors of Texas and Florida are, respectively,
Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, and their key statistics are:
State Population Deaths Per 100,000
California 39,512,000 6,331 16.2
Texas 28,996,000 2,637 9.1
Florida 21,478,000 3,832 17.8
Gov. Cuomo’s performance in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic is so abominable that the Democratic-controlled state legislature should have impeached him in May. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio should have also been removed from office two months ago.
In addition to California’s Newsom, other Democratic governors of states among the Top 13 most populous, who effectively battled the coronavirus epidemic are: Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Dr. Ralph Northam of Virginia, and Jay Inslee of Washington.
Their vital statistics are:
State Population Deaths Per 100,000
North Carolina 10,488,000 1,396 13.3
Virginia 8,536,000 1,853 21.7
Washington 7,615,000 1,354 17.8
Conversely, two states with Republican governors – Charlie Baker in Massachusetts and
Larry Hogan in Maryland – performed badly in the battle against the COVID-19 epidemic:
State Population Deaths Per 100,000
Massachusetts 6,893,000 8,183 118.7
Maryland 6,046,000 3,243 53.6
Four other Democratic governors – J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and John Bel Edwards of Louisiana– did not effectively
fight the COVID-19 epidemic:
Illinois 12,672,000 7,320 57.8
Pennsylvania 12,802,000 6,753 52.7
Michigan 9,987,00 6,221 62.3
Louisiana 4,649,000 3,288 70.7
Key conclusions about how each of America’s 50 states battled the epidemic are:
Overall, the 26 Republican-led states performed much better than the 24 states with Democratic governors.
Tri-state New York governors – New York’s Cuomo, New Jersey’s Murphy, Connecticut’s Lamont – have the worst records in battling COVID-19.
Over the last two weeks, they have taken epidemiological demagoguery to McCarthyite levels by announcing
an ever-expanding “Fake Voluntary Quarantine” from visitors from 19 states, 13 of whom have Republican governors. These states have recently seen a spike in the number of residents testing positive for the virus, but not a worrisome increase in daily death totals.
Fourteen Democratic-led states have done well.
Only two Democratic-led states – Massachusetts and Maryland – have done poorly.
Indeed, the Center for Disease Control’s provisional death tallies show only six states have experienced at least a 10% spike in total deaths from all causes this year, as compared to deaths for the first six months in previous years: Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and New York.
As the late Democratic Senator from New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who retired in 2000, famously said: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinions, but not to his own facts.”
Tragically, wise, decisive and moderate leaders, like Sen. Moynihan, have been in short supply among the top leadership of the Democratic Party nationwide
during the 21st century. Indeed, seven major states with Democratic governors – New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Louisiana – account for 68,032 of the nation’s 121,925 coronavirus deaths, or a highly disproportionate 55.8%.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases per 100,000 in Europe 2020, by country.
Published by Conor Stewart, Aug 18, 2020.
As of August 17, 2020, there were 3,488,546 confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) across the whole of Europe since the first confirmed case on January 25. Armenia has the highest incidence of coronavirus cases among its population in Europe at 1,408.61 per 100,000 people, followed by a rate of 1,211.77 in Luxembourg. With 922 thousand confirmed cases, Russia has been the worst affected country in Europe, which translates into a rate of 632.64 cases per 100,000 population.
Current virus hotspots in Europe
The Faroe Islands have the highest rate of cases per 100,000 in the last week at 129, as of August 18. In Moldova, 95 cases per 100,000 people have been recorded in the previous seven days. Spain, a popular summer holiday destination, has had 77 cases per 100,000 in the last week. This prompted countries such as the UK and Germany to place Spain on their ‘high-risk list’ which requires travelers to quarantine on their return from the country.
Coronavirus deaths in Europe
There have been 210,519 recorded coronavirus deaths in Europe since the beginning of the pandemic. The UK has the highest number of deaths recorded in a single European country at 41,366. However, Belgium has the highest rate of deaths from the virus with approximately 86.7 deaths per 100,000 as of August 16, followed by the UK with 62 deaths per 100,000 population.
