The Mysterious Coronavirus Spreading Worldwide


Recommended Posts

It annoys me personally that anyone’s personal choices that turn out poorly are always primarily linked to some statement by the US President. That is nothing more or less than media bias . That said.  
      This outbreak is evidence of the Wisdom that guides us Through the FDS

In Germany, one of the issues with the test is that, depending on how few cases factually exist (infestation), the amount of tests will show up a large amount of false positives due to the specificity of the test being "only" about 98,5%. However, the sensitivity of the test is so remarkable, that you will hardly get any false negatives to balance it out.

 

So if you test 10.000 people and 100 are infected, you will get 100 true positives and 150 false positives, creating a total "new infections" of 250 although there are, in fact, "only" 100. The reasons for these false positive tests can be a variety of reasons.  

That's science for you. 

Another thing to keep in mind is just because somebody has some fragments of a coronavirus in their face, doesn't necessarily make them "infected" or "contagious". 

Just sit back and enjoy them hopelessly groping in the dark. They deserve this for worshipping the false god of science. Jehovah said they will never figure out his the entirety of his creation. They thought they could. They are now being humiliated for being so proud.

Well, it appears that Fauci and co lied to Americans about the effectiveness of masks just because they didn't want us to buy them all. So they basically are responsible for the vast amount of community spread.

That's why each individual needs to use common sense, and some of their own research, and not just believe anything anyone tells them, including health professionals.

 

A mask is a barrier. How can 'no mask', ever be better than actually using a mask? It never made sense.

It depends on the mask. T-shirts, for example, were never designed to protect against the spread of viruses. How could they be? They weren't masks to begin with! Yet they were recommended as masks and people were wearing them.

 

So it could very well be when I think about it, that they were recommending stuff that didn't really work anyway. Who knows unless they study it? Obviously, medical masks worked, but they didn't provide those to us, and didn't want us to have them.

 

So the spread could be the result of just late detection and early slow action on the ground. That's what I think now since I've been thinking about it.

When that mask causes you to breathe more through your mouth than your nose? Or when that mask is full of germs itself and you are constantly breathing in your own carbon dioxide, maybe?

Plenty of people where masks and so far no one has died of carbon dioxide. It may make some people lightheaded.

The mask is full of your own germs. Your own germs. They were just inside your body.

Also, cloth masks should be washed regularly. I prefer the cloth masks for this reason. They can be washed. My mask also allows me to insert a carbon filter. Will it make it work better? That's what they say, I don't really know. But since I have it I may as well use it. I also heard that coffee filters can be used...but again, I've just heard this. Is it true? I don't know, I'm not an expert.

The intent of the mask is to prevent you from spreading the virus. Washing your hands is to protect you from the people that don't wear masks.

Plenty of people have called in sick that are working with them hard labouring for 8-10 hours a day. It is not normal to cover your mouth and raise CO2 levels in your organism for such a long time-span. 

Another thing is that at some point, the mask becomes so saturated with Covid19 germs that it makes literally no difference becacuse you're passing it around all the time, which is why you should actually change the mask every hour or so. 

Sorry to rain on your parade, but there are more facts to consider here than the simple "barrier" argument which holds little ground. It may change the projection of your breath, but the same volume still exits your lung, and at some point, the mask does little to nothing to prevent the spread of germs.

 

But by all means, if it makes you feel safer.

That's not even to mention that the COVID particles are smaller than the holes of these masks.

Following what the USA Branch says for USA publishers (which should have been distributed to baptized and unbaptized publishers by their group overseer or his assistant) is this from the COVID19_FAQ-E pdf file.

 

Quote

Question: If I must go out in public, what specific precautions can I take?
Answer: Maintain social distancing and clean your hands frequently.

Following what the FDS says definitely makes me feel safer and those who follow their encouragement during this global pandemic.

Oh, I don't believe that was the case at all! I think part of that was to discourage hoarding all the PPE that medical professionals needed. We saw what happened with the toilet paper.. 🙄😒There was- and is- a shortage of those disposable masks. Once people got into making washable cloth masks, getting and wearing those become de rigueur. 

 

I have no problem wearing mine while out and about- and I'm not doing that much.  It helps keep me from possibly infecting others and vice versa- and helps everyone's peace of mind.. which probably has greater value.

Several of the people I work with have recovered from COVID and have yet to test negative after a month. It is to the point that even the hospital I work at has effectively given up on getting a negative test for them . The negative test could also be a false negative ( about 50%) so it is likely to be the case that for quite some time after getting a negative test that the infected person simply remains an asymptomatic carrier.

At the most I've worn one for 6 hours straight.  It has a pocket for a filter. I cut out a piece of furnace filter.

Oh I agree with not hoarding masks.

 

But that's no excuse to deliberately LIE to us about their effectiveness.

I guess the FDS beleives the CDC "lies then"?

Well, my brother, the CDC lied and admitted as such. I'm sure the GB is now aware of it, so yes.

The GB has made previous statements on infectious diseases like Ebola in 2016 (no doubt considered good available medical science and knowledge) and they knew from that and other infectious diseases around the globe they came up with the COVID19 precaution documents to benefit the friends.
