Two California Doctors: "The Data Is Showing Us it's Time to Lift the Lockdown"! - Dr. Erickson COVID-19 Fact Briefing! - Must See Video

You have NOT been given good facts about COVID-19 by the Big Media.

But now, new testing and fatalities data from Stanford University, USC, and the County of Los Angeles show the death rate is much lower than previously predicted and is comparable to the two seasonal flu strains. Yet the COVID-19 death rate is even lower than this latest data reports, since many hospitals are artificially inflating COVID-19 deaths.

Dr. Dan Erickson, M.D. and Dr. Artin Massihi, M.D. are former former emergency room physicians. They own Accelerated Urgent Care, which has several clinics in Bakersfield. In Kern County, they are the top tester for COVID-19, conducting 5,000+ tests to date. Over the last two months, they’ve been intensely studying COVID-19 and those infected with the virus. And these honest. expert doctors conclude, based on the latest data, the lockdown was not justified and should be immediately lifted.

The physicians’ April 22, 2020 briefing for Bakersfield area media was posted on YouTube by KERO Channel 23. 

Highlights of this medical briefing:

Of the 5000+ people they’ve tested for COVID-19 in Kern County, 6.45% were positive. The doctors report they’ve seen a 0.03% death rate among those infected, with 96% of infected persons completely recovering.

Dr. Erickson stressed several times that with COVID-19 worldwide, he’s seeing “millions of cases; small amount of death.” For example, he says, even New York State has a 0.1% death rate and a 92% recovery rate.

Noting there are 50-60 million annual flu deaths in the United States, and a flu death rate of 0.1%, Dr. Erickson said COVID-19 is “similar in prevalence and death rate to flu.” Looking worldwide at nations that “lock down” and those that don’t [such as Sweden], Dr. Erickson said, “It is not statistically significant whether you lock down or not. So why do we do it?”

What’s more, Dr. Erickson said, “Our immune systems have weakened” from the lockdown. “When I look at the basic tenets that we know of microbiology, and I say, ‘Do we need to still shelter in place?’ Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. Do we need to test them, and get them back to work? Yes, we do. The secondary effects that we went over — the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue — all these are, in our opinion, a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.”

Dr. Erickson also said:

• “We also need to put measures in place so economic shutdown like this does not happen again.” 
• “We want to make sure we understand that quarantining the sick is what we do, not quarantining the healthy.”
• “We need to make sure that if you’re going to dance on someone’s constitutional rights, you better have a good reason. You better have a really good scientific reason, and not just theory.”
• “The data is showing us it’s time to lift the lockdown”

Dr. Erickson revealed that most physicians and health officials in California that he’s talked to agree with these facts, but that they’re all waiting for Governor Gavin Newsom to agree.

Dr. Erickson continued, saying:

• “Coronavirus has shown to be very contagious…but the actual cause of death and the disease cycle is similar to what we’re seeing from the flu, with more of a respiratory component.”
• “Eventually we treat this like we treat flu, which is, if you have the flu and you’re feeling fevery and body aches, you stay home. If you have coughing or shortness of breath — Covid is more of a respiratory thing — you stay home … This virus is the same [similar to recovering from the flu]. You have Covid, go home; let it resolve, and come back.”
• “From what we’ve seen right now, it’s time to open back up. The science says it is. The models we have been using from predictions to predict the amount of disease are not accurate. This information [pointing to the latest testing evidence] is accurate. It models the flu. Let’s go back to work. That’s what the data is saying — not models. Data is saying that.”
• “Big businesses are open, little businesses are not, there’s no science behind that.”

Also speaking was Dr. Artin Massihi, who said social distancing was needed initially, “but now that we have the data, we’re seeing that 96, 97 percent of patients completely recover. And those 4 percent of patients that died have over 90% comorbidities … heart failure, emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, they’re on immunomodulating medications, they’re immunodeficient, HIV — these are the people that are dying. You get some healthy people who die, but that’s an infinitesimal number — tiny.”

Near the media briefing’s conclusion, Dr. Erickson warned about unscientific public policies, stating, “At what point, who says what’s safe? Are you smart enough to know what’s safe for you, or is the government going to tell you what’s safe for you? As soon as they use the word ‘safe,’ that means control: ‘We know what’s safe for you. You’re too dumb to understand disease. You see, we know what’s safe.’”

Finally, Dr. Erickson advised people to not accept government-imposed lockdowns. “They’re going to use this model for different things. We get a bomb threat from China; everybody stay in their homes for 3 months. What? They are using this to see how much freedom can they take from you, and will you roll over and stay in your house — and it’s working.”
 
We are beginning to see figures on the extent of the epidemic and the faulty figures fed us by all government agencies and the conventional controlled media. From CNBC comes revelations that many, many more people in LA County have been exposed to, and have immunity to COVID than heretofore believed, 55 times in fact. This would drop the mortality rate by 50-fold and suggest that we have way, way overreacted to the outbreak. If these numbers are true, and other reports I’ve posted here suggest the same, the SARS COVID-2 virus literally tore through the population incredibly fast. Even with a quite low mortality rate, the lightning speed hit us fast and gave the ILLUSION of a terrifying horror about to befall us. But with this lightning speed, it strongly suggests that the worst is behind us and that officials overplayed their hand.
