Myths and Facts on ‘The Virus’ by Infectious Disease Epidemiology Expert Michael Osterholm

Full video interview under the summary.

This is just the beginning and there is more to come for a while. It’s like an influenza virus being spread through the air and we get infected even before the symptoms show.

Within a few days the spread of infections and increase in death rates was unbelievable so lockdowns and isolations are crucial.

It is not an age. Smokers, obese and specific risk factors make you more vulnerable.

The incubation period is 4 days. So you share the air with someone infected and wont show symptoms for another 4 days. While some have minor symptoms, others will die.

Don’t treat it like a corona blizzard that is just going to pass. It’s here to stay for a while.

Masks don’t really help. It’s like trying to stop the flu. Best thing is avoiding large public spaces.

The good news is that kids don’t get sick easily. Closing schools will put a burden on 38% of kids.

Michael predicted a lot of what is happening. From shortage of IVs to shortages of drugs because everything is imported from somewhere overseas.

Saunas do not help. The heat does not kill the virus. The air gets cooled down by the time it reaches your lungs or it would burn your lungs up.

There is no evidence of this being a bio-terrorist attack by China. Again, no bio-engineering here. Totally mother nature.

Talks about why hunting is so vital for our survival. Killing infected animals and sterilising before moving from state to state. Testing deer, eliminating bucks because they wander more. If you are interested, google Chronic Wasting Disease in deer or here – Chronic Wasting Disease Resource Center. This can be spread to humans.

Be as healthy as you can be. Keep in shape. If you’re on medication, stick to it. Studies show that probiotics and other ‘immune boosters’ don’t help. Get sleep, drink a lot of water, etc. Data shows that touching your face is not an issue.

Washing your hands is good but it’s not going to stop the air around you.

N95 masks work! They are specially made so that air is filtered.

Closing schools will really hurt people especially essential workers.

Leaders need to tell more of the truth.

Vaccines can be lifesaving. There is a reason why polio went away… vaccines. They look at brothers with and without vaccine.

I was predictable that China will get the virus issues because of the population and other factors that make it a virus soup vessel.

Same with Ebola in Africa because bush meat is vital for life but bush meat means any meat they can find.

So with all the meat markets with all kinds of animals in the markets, China is a Petri dish for viruses.

The virus multiplies in the nose.

High dose vaccine injections are best especially for adults.

Also if you get influenza, you will feel like you got hit by a truck but it you don’t start seeing improvements in 2-3 days, by day 5 get yourself checked or it’ll open you to more serious illnesses like pneumonia.

Probiotics boost your tummy flora temporarily. Your normal gut flora will always come back so probiotics are not really worth it. Fecal transplants are very effictive for very special cases.

Lyme disease came from deer ticks and it spread because the deer was moved and spread. The ticks moved from infected to the local deer. With no fires, the unwanted trees thrive. The tick population has changed since the white men brought them to America. The deer and mousse are living together.

In summary avoid the crowds, stay healthy, don’t celebrate to soon and use your brain! It’s not the time for conspiracy theories, stick to valid science!
