Coronavirus in Poland

This has always been the worry. The young are often more resilient but can carry the disease to others.

This is so true, and just hope that the vaccination programme will start to make a difference soon....

That's why the young should be locked up and kept in the basement. Their needs to socialize and have normal childhood means nothing if old geezers can live a couple of months longer.

@mafketis, the media were probing with swine flu, bird flu, ebola etc. since at least 2004. But they were unsuccessful until 2020 in grabbing people's attention on a scale large enough for this social engineering project we're living in now to get started. I just spot the pattern.

I'm not especially proud of that cause I think it was obvious. And it didn't make my life any easier knowing that, especially during the initial phase of the "pandemic".

I will spare you the details but it was a massive learning experience.

The only legit reason for the government's covid terror was to flatten the curve. Modern civilized society does not want to see people dying on the sidewalks.

All the rest is like trying to stop the wind blowing in Chicago - made-up crap.

That and the recent lockdown (in the UK) have reduced the infection rate and death rate, obviously. We're a little behind here due to the lockdown being lighter and the vaccination programme being slower.

Well some of these are serious diseases. Also, China (especially the south) is new virus capital of the world with new ones appearing every year (which mostly burn out quickly).

So the possibility of a real serious virus coming out of China (given bad hygiene and culture of secrecy and coverup).
Ebola (fortunately) doesn't seem to travel so that's good.
Simply saying that potentially deadly diseases don't exist is just as wrongheaded as hysteria .....


No lockdowns don't work. I was tentatively in favor of the first (for two weeks or so) to give the healthcare sector time to prepare but beyond that it's performative rather than effective and does more damage than good.

No more lockdowns! Ever! (Joan Crawford voice)

If people followed their governments advice during lockdowns, and stayed home as much as possible, would that not stop the virus spreading as much, as no lockdowns? Some scientists seem to think it will.

Lockdowns are like war stories or jokes. They get old very quickly. You can do it only once per generation. How often can the US print trillions before the country is destroyed?

They've reduced infections and the death rate in countries that have been strict with them.

Here in Poland, there's a less strict approach and there's a rise in stats.

Lockdowns are designed to curb the spread of the covid19 virus. End of.

Not true. The only legitimate lockdown policy objective is (1) not to overwhelm the medical care system, (2) to reduce the death count. Just getting the virus is not relevant. Plus, if lockdowns worked, there would be no second wave.

My question still stands: how many lockdowns per decade can a nation afford?

Sorry I mistook you for a troll, didn't realise you are a Virologist. Maybe if people followed the guidelines for the first lockdown, there might not have been a second wave.

If people did not follow the guidelines then, they will follow them even less now. No more lockdowns. People are exhausted and close to the end of the rope.

So what's next? Patrols with AK's and the orders to shoot on sight?

another update on covid-19 treatments. quora.com/Is-there-any-cure-for-COVID-19/answer/Steve-Kirsch?ch=10&share=2cb27c60&srid=uBmSa
Seems like 'cures' for the virus have been found, but so much money involved in it, as well as ideological postions and power grabs that this info is withheld.

If you want to pretend that it's "withheld", then it evidently isn't "withheld" very well. Given that it's on Quora, has been widely reported elsewhere, and is searchable on Google...

There's a bit you missed from the Quora post. An important bit. Very important even:
- "They will not recommend a drug unless it passes Phase 1, 2, and 3 trials because doing so would violate the public trust"

The CDC of course is an organisation relating to one country only. I don't see other major countries racing to recommend other treatments, without proper trials either.

There's a couple of other interesting quotes in the post:

- "The biggest mistake people make is underestimating this disease."

- " I will try to get vaccinated as soon as possible. After you are fully vaccinated (2 weeks after your second dose is the safest margin), you can generally ignore the rest of this article."

Did i say anything about against vaccines ?


It should be on the front page that there have been RCT's all over the world that decrease hospitalisation and death by 85 percent (ivermectin) and 90+ percent fluvoxamine.


Wrong because vaccines are not 100 percent efficacious.

You leftwingers believe in exploitation by capital but when it comes to the medical industry (which includes the science circles) its all pure white as snow.


There already have been proper trials for ivermectin just not usa and uk. Your first world snobbery is showing. Has already been introduced in states in peru and india with massive drops of death. Also just allowed in slovakia, macedonia and last day czech. yet media blackout if you can't see this you are blind .

Whoever said you did?


It's been widely enough reported. Even a year ago. Do you want it repeating daily ad nauseam?


So you're now claiming to know more than the person whose article you've posted about! That's probably a first even here....

Not to mention that 95 percent of GPs don't know about these treatments. And that's when these treatments need to be perscribed not when one is in ICU>

A leftist defending the messed up status quo! it would be hilarious if it wasin't so sad

Where did you pull that gem from?


There you go again. You probably think Dr Fauci's a 'leftist' too. And the Polish Minister of Health, and the Health Minister down in your country.

Yes it is very plausible that you are an economic and status quo conservative, but instead virtue signal on identity politics and immigration issues. In other words a drip.


Of course not they're just caught up in beurocracy machine. And unwilling to change the big pharma dominated method of accepting medicines. when its patently obvious that like everything else has been transformed during the pandemic, the processes of emergency use authorisations for repurposed medicines need to change too.

Bureaucracy.

Perhaps he's a bit more than that, being head of U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as well as an advisor to every president since Reagan. And being an eminent and respected Immunologist.


Oh dear.

And it would have been so much better for them if they had an NHS. Even the Polish system works well. And neither need to prescribe medicines that haven't been through clinical trials. There's nothing to stop people sourcing them privately, if they don't object to 'paid for' medical treatment.

I'm still laughing that you posted an article to praise then disagreed with it! It's always a good idea to read articles that you post...

Well ivermectin has. Just not in the first world. Racist. ivmmeta.com/
Since you claim to be a homosexual with AIDS i'm sure you know the two years of pleading by AIDS activists to get Fauci to accept AIDS/HIV treatments that were successfull around the world while he waited two years for a USA Phase III trial which cost tens of thousands of lives. Homophobic Aids Hater.

Which is where you and I both live; in countries where prescribing medicines is highly regulated for very good reasons. They don't just make it up as they go along, you know...


Really? News to me. Not that HIV medication is the same as that for any other given illness, or why the esteemed Dr Fauci would have anything to do with medicines outside his own jurisdiction which is within one country only.

But hey, evidently you pretend to know more than one of the world's leading Immunologists, Chief Medical Adviser to President Biden and his predecessors. On the basis of a post on Quora (which you didn't even finish reading!). Perhaps the words were too long for you.

You do get things mixed up, don't you...

Here is Andrew Hill who is leading the WHO analyses to recommend ivermectin webinar. This is from January so have been many more trials since then.

Your smug dismissal is unwarranted.

So not exactly


The opposite even.


Definitely not "withheld".

Anecdotally California and Florida - the former had some of the strictest measures in the US and the latter the most lax - and overall the Florida results have been better....

Lockdowns without detailed exit plans (there's no evidence that anywhere has done that) and pre-elaborated ways of mitigating the economic toll are simple political performance (and note how many politicians have ignored lockdown policies themselves).

Yes as in withheld by the media. Its more profitable to scare people with variants and watnot.

I just googled it.

209,000 news items, and 6,000,000 mentions in total.. Significantly, more than a few warnings about it.

An interesting article here:


inews.co.uk/news/health/invermectin-tablets-what-covid-miracle-drug-social-media-explained-882700

Be sure to read to the end this time.

Yes with withholding information there is also dumb ass misinformation. In the usual leftist tradition that the masses are too stupid, that it will hurt vaccine confidence etc. Funny how you had to scour to find an anti ivermectin article. drip. .

In other news Czech has now said it will use chinese vaccine as well as russian one. I wonder what poland will do? Prefer the sputnik to sinopharm
