Lift the Lockdown the Facts Are Out

COVID-19 and the new war is Truth vs. Political Opportunism; the latter assisted by mainstream media’s pursuit of click-bait by posting flawed and fraud COVID-19 statistics.

Governments are being forced to backtrack or face the consequences of their panic-driven response to a virus downgraded to flu-status. Regimes must now base their reaction on accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasising hypothetical projections.

Five key facts are being ignored by those calling for continuing the near-total lockdown.

Fact 1: The overwhelming majority of people do not have any significant risk of dying from COVID-19. The recent Stanford University antibody study and others now estimate that the fatality rate if infected is likely 0.1 to 0.2 per cent, a risk far lower than previous World Health Organization estimates that were 20 to 30 times higher and that motivated isolation policies.  

In New York City, an epicentre of the pandemic with more than one-third of all U.S. deaths, the rate of death for people 18 to 45 years old is 0.01 per cent or 11 per 100,000 in the population. On the other hand, people aged 75 and over have a death rate 80 times that. For people under 18 years old, the rate of death is zero per 100,000. 

Of all fatal cases two-thirds were in patients over 70 years of age; more than 95 per cent were over 50 years of age, and about 90 per cent of all fatal cases had an underlying illness.

Of 6,570 confirmed COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions to date, 99.2 per cent, had an underlying illness. In other words, if you do not already have an underlying chronic condition, your chances of dying are small, regardless of age. And young adults and children in normal health have almost no risk of any serious illness from COVID-19.

Fact 2: Protecting older, at-risk people eliminates hospital overcrowding. We can learn about hospital utilisation from incoming global data. For those under 18 years of age, hospitalisation from the virus is 0.01 per cent per 100,000 people; for those 18 to 44 years old, hospitalization is 0.1 per cent per 100,000. Even for people ages 65 to 74, only 1.7 per cent were hospitalised.

Of 4,103 confirmed COVID-19 patients with symptoms bad enough to seek medical care, Dr Leora Horwitz of NYU Medical Center concluded ‘age and underlying health issues are far and away from the strongest risk factor for hospitalization.’

Even early WHO reports noted that 80 per cent of all cases were mild and more recent studies show a far more widespread rate of infection and a lower rate of serious illness. Half of all people testing positive for infection have no symptoms at all. The vast majority of younger, otherwise healthy people do not need significant medical care if they catch this infection.

Fact 3: Vital population immunity is prevented by total isolation policies, prolonging the problem. We know from decades of medical science that infection itself allows people to generate an immune response, antibodies so that the infection is controlled throughout the population by ‘herd immunity.’ 

Indeed, that is the main purpose of widespread immunisation in other viral diseases, to assist with population immunity. In this virus, we know that medical care is not even necessary for the vast majority of people who are infected. It is so mild that half of the infected people are unaware they are positive.

That has been falsely portrayed as a problem requiring mass isolation. In fact, infected people without severe illness are necessary antidote to establish widespread immunity. By transmitting the virus to others in the low-risk group who then generate antibodies, they block the network of pathways toward the most vulnerable people, ultimately ending the threat. Extending whole-population isolation would directly prevent that widespread immunity from developing.

The lockdowns actually worsened the problem by preventing the onset of herd immunity whilst bankrupting entire nations’ economies.

Fact 4: People are dying because other medical care is not getting done due to flawed and fake overhyped forecasts. Critical health care for tens of millions is being ignored. People are dying to accommodate ‘potential’ COVID-19 patients and for fear of spreading the disease.

Most nations and many hospitals abruptly stopped nonessential procedures and surgery. This has prevented diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, like cancer screening, biopsies of tumours now undiscovered and potentially deadly brain aneurysms. Treatments, including emergency care, for the most serious illnesses, were also missed.

Cancer patients suffer and die from postponed chemotherapy. An estimated 80 per cent of brain surgery cases were put to one side. Acute stroke and heart attack patients missed their only chances for treatment, some dying with many now facing permanent disability.
