When I went into the boxing gym there were pros that would train wearing a mask. They would do so to purposefully decrease the flow of air into their lungs, leading to less oxygen being able to enter their bloodstream.Yes, it does affect the oxygen and CO2 levels. If you are an athlete or exercising with a mask on, your body may get less oxygen to convert glucose into energy, meaning that athletes can expect to fatigue faster when exercising with a face mask. I can't believe the rubbish some doctors are putting out there. And I can't believe that people just pass all of this on as factual when it is clearly illogical and could be detrimental to some. So sad.

On the slightly less fear-mongering side and on the more optimistic and fact-based side, Sweden's numbers are looking super good. Despite massively ramping up tests, daily new cases have dropped a sharp 60% in the past weeks and daily deaths are also successively decreasing to zero. Fact is that viruses, including Coronaviruses, have been mutating back and forth within our society for millenia. This is why you can catch a flu every year (it is also why the flu vaccine is utterly pointless). If you can catch the same virus twice within a short amount of time then there is something seriously wrong with your immune system, and in any case, a vaccine is utterly pointless if you can not become immune.

If he has antibodies, that means he was in contact with the virus some time ago and the immune system managed to deal with it. These cases are also taken up into the statistic, if the tested person can not explain when he became sick / had no symptoms, they are put into the RKI current days statistic of the "Meldedatum" (Date when the case was noted) The best antibody tests are about 97-98% reliable. Antibodies mean your body has a better chance at beating Covid19 and similar Corona viruses the second time round. Although the media constantly downplays the body's ability to immunize against Covid19, other scientists claim that it is obvious that the body can become immune against it, seeing as how many people don't even get symptoms.

Thanks, I was skeptical about buying the DVD at first. But the few amazon ratings were so promising, so I went ahead and bought it. It's coming next week. Soooo much look forward to it now!

This is all related to a single hotspot. 1000 employees of a single factory, all tested positive but hardly any have any symptoms. That's why I say, don't buy into all these sensational numbers.

I wonder if "waves" are really such a bad thing right now. It's summer on the northern hemisphere and people are more likely to survive Covid19, like any other flu or corona virus. Numbers seem to imply this. Since April 10, new daily cases in the USA have dropped by a mere 20.8 %, but daily deaths have dropped by a whopping 70.4 %. You can't explain this fact away with stuff like "social distancing" or "wearing masks": This can only be explained by the miracle that is the immune system. Maybe someone has a better explanation. To the best of my knowledge, we haven't found a miracle treatment for severe cases yet. I'm far more worried about this thing still being around in November / December, to be honest.

If people are "fed up" of lockdown because they can't get a haircut, that is something to be upset about. The thing is that these lockdowns are far more damaging in other areas. For example, farmers throwing food away because they are simply not allowed to ship it to the next logistics point. Or people in Third World countries forced to stay indoors where they have no supplies. These people aren't "fed up", they are struggling to survive. EDIT: And I think what many people are really upset about is the lack of transparency in the data. They feel like they are being fed lies. For example. we had a "hot spot" of over 700 cases and they locked down an entire company with thousands of employees. 700 cases, that immediately implies 700 sick people, but the fact is that only a few showed any symptoms, mostly mild symptoms. The same goes for all the Corona-deaths that were falsely attributed to Corona despite negative tests because the patient exhibited Corona symptoms while dying. As Elon Musk asked, how do you die in general without coughing or shortness of breath? And it is things like this that are getting people, including me, to start being "fed up". Honesty, something I don't expect from this system, from politicians, from scientists, from corporations and from media, honesty is the best policy.

One thing that annoys me about this whole pandemic is "a study suggests" and "may last only two to three months" or "does not necessarily mean" "the authors suggested" People always imagine the scientific community to be like a group of people who all look into a microscope and then draw an obvious conclusion and discover new facts, when it is all just "suggestions" and suppositions and assumptions based on numerical data that was put together within the setting of maybe 10-20% of all facts being actually known facts. And sadly, much of these facts are then discarded if they do not fit into the context of the sales pitch. The new mRNA vaccine, for example, the one they are trying to fast-track against Covid19, is supposedly not doing to good in clinical trials at all. But they are not being very candid with the data in the public debate because this is a multi-billion dollar market (some claim trillion dollar market in the long run, depending on circumstances). Always keep that in mind when you debate that this whole thing is primarily about health, and that money shouldn't go before people's lives. Don't believe for a second that "science" is interested in saving your lives or keeping you healthy. Don't put your trust in nobles.

Again .. this is the second part. It was just released last year

I really hate to constantly be the one to tone down the panic, but wait and see what happens instead of panicking. Fear isn't healthy. In Germany, we've had at least a dozen things happen from loosening restrictions to mass protests with a 100.000 young people (that's one in 800 population) on the same day, where everybdoy was constantly saying "Greaaat, the virus is gonna explode" and absolutel nothing happened. Except for one abattoir where they found 700 positives at once (none of whom were actually sick by the way), with some scientists linking that to a cross-reaction to the bovine Coronavirus vaccine. Yes, if you're in the risk group, stay safe. But don't panic.

I am sure that you mean the one about the Exodus from Egypt, the first part, Patterns of Evidence: Exodus. That was the first part, this is the second part, was just released last year The first part talked about Jacob, Joseph, Joseph's work for the Pharao, the vast expansion of the Hebrew people in Goshen, the genocide of the Hebrew boys and the 10 plagues, as well as talking about Jericho. This part focusses on the historicity of Moses, it would seem.

I was surprised to see this is already out Has anyone seen it? We just bought the DVD, at least to complete the collection, and hopefully it has some interesting theories.

Isn't it weird how this Corona thing seems to systematically create nothing but fear of the things that make life enjoyable. Fear of singing. Fear of going outside. Fear of seeing people's faces. Fear of hugging and touching. Fear of people talking to you. So what I do is I just don't fear it. I just find ways to continue to enjoy life wherever I see a possibility to. I grab my guitar and sit out in the sunshine in the park and practise and sing. I smile at people when they walk past me and greet them in a friendly way. When I've spent enough time with people to be "infected" (whatever that means) with Covid19, I say goodbye with a warm and loving embrace. When I stand in line in the supermarket, I dance to the music. No, this is not "the end of song", but it certainly is causing the love of the greater number to cool down fast.

You're entirely missing the point. The cloth mask does little to nothing to protect YOU from Covid19. It protects others from YOUR germs should you carry Covid19 and be an asymptomatic spreader. After wearing a mask for a while and breathing into it for long enough, the cloth becomes saturated with germs and you spread them nonetheless. There is a reason that wearing masks is not a no-brainer and why the W.H.O. initially said they could even be counterproductive. The "something is better than nothing" argument is simply not necessarily true.
