DeWine's conflicting COVID-19 tests raise backlash

On Sunday, he told CNN's “State of the Union” that “people should not take away from my experience that testing is not reliable or doesn’t work.”

 

So, after having an unreliable Covid-19 test, the Ohio governor says people should not think that testing is unreliable after he received an unreliable test.  

 

Meanwhile in New Zealand...

 

New Zealand marks 100 days with no new COVID-19 cases. Here's how the country stopped the spread

New Zealand got rid of the virus by imposing a strict lockdown in late March when only about 100 people had tested positive for the disease. That stopped its spread. For the past three months, the only new cases have been a handful of returning travelers who have been quarantined at the border.

 

It appears New Zealand is an example that strict quarantine can, indeed, defeat the virus.  Sorta makes sense since we are seeing spikes in the US in areas that have opened back up and allowed people to gather in restaurants and bars... and how we've seen spikes after every US holiday so far.

So, you have half of dozen of this and half of dozen of that.  Where does one go from here?  There is no clear cut understanding of this virus.  We know its deadly and its not going anywhere anytime soon so it seems.  The GB is telling us to use common sense and if one needs to work or go out or whatever is considered a necessity to do with caution.  If you don't have to go out then don't.  Why expose oneself and others?  This could be (and I am using this loosely) our "inner rooms" that Isaiah prophesied.  All of the organization world wide is in doors in compliance with the law and direction of the GB. So, we wait!

I was watching this interview today and the spokesperson (Robert J Hendriks III) for the Jehovah’s Witnesses was asked about the inner rooms mentioned from Isaiah and I remembered you had mentioned something about it. Thought I’d share what was said.

In the last year I have had literally 10 people I personally  know die. Most of them coworkers and under 50 years of age. Some in their thirties. Many causes of death. Two murders , one suicide one killed while trying to rescue someone else in a car accident. Then various other health related things.  But until yesterday no COVID. 
     Yesterday a Coworker died at age 44 from COVID. He was a single father raising his kids. He had just lost his own mother to COVID and probably caught it at the funeral. Of all the people I know he was the most physically fit. Very physically strong . Athletic even. So it was quite a shock to see. 
      This Virus does not obey the rules. It is like a serial killer walking around with a magic 🎱 and a pair of dice deciding which person to give the sniffles and which to knife to death. Be careful loved friends.

Oh Davis, I’m so sorry! How this really hit home, especially for you at the forefront. What resilience and fortitude our health workers show! I greatly admire your courage in helping the community with such high risks..  But you especially have the best help, Jehovah. Keep doing what you need to do to make it though, with Jehovah’s help and our prayers.🌹

NZ caught it early before it got deeply seeded in the population. Only 100 people had it and they found them all. The US had two strains on Covid - both the more contagious European strain entering into New York, and the Asian strain in Seattle. 

 

The same logic applies to even your own health. Catching an infection early enough is the key to stopping it. Once the infection spreads, you're toast... best you can do is slow it (if there is no cure)

 

Lockdowns only work when you catch it early. When it gets seeded, nothing you can do will stop it. At best you can slow it.

You'd think they'd just want to focus on a cure... but noooo.

I’m not dunking on New Zealand here, but now they’re dealing with a “fresh outbreak” after people were using them as the shining example of fighting covid. 
 

Quote

New Zealand's fresh outbreak has drawn parallels with Australia and Hong Kong -- both places that imposed strict border measures when they had low infection numbers and appeared to have the virus under control, only to experience a reemergence of the virus

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/08/14/asia/new-zealand-coronavirus-lockdown-intl-hnk/index.html

 

Lockdowns do not appear to be long term strategy for fighting covid.

 

At best, it hides the virus and when people begin to interact once more, you have transmission.
 

And I am sorry, this statement from the prime minister is just plain ignorant:

she said. "We have got rid of Covid before ... We can do all of that again."

 

No you never “got rid” of covid. If you did, you wouldn’t have an outbreak. You just probably pushed it underground, but despite how I feel about that remark, I will give them the benefit of the doubt:

But Ardern said that, for now, authorities did not know how the outbreak happened.

I can accept that.

And yet the federal reserve chairman has called for the entire US to go back into a total lockdown.   Think on that for a moment: the Organization which lends to the US government and already owns 3/4 of all properties in the US through its lending practices and has effectively just bailed out and accepted stakes in the largest companies on earth is calling for all these assets to be devalued : again.

Your comments seem to exclude the possibility that this new outbreak came from outside.  Why are you not open to this possibility?

 

New Zealand suspects ‘some failure at the border’ after COVID-19 returns

Quote

 

New Zealand officials and scientists are eying a breach in isolation security as the possible cause of the first cases of community transmission in the country in 102 days. Investigators are exploring several possibilities, but experts believe the alternatives—that the virus was circulating undetected or that it entered the country on a freight shipment—are unlikely.

“We must have had some failure at the border, it’s unlikely there could have been silent transmission for that long,” says Nick Wilson, a public health scientist at University of Otago.

Of coarse this outbreak came from outside. Why is that important? It is inevitable that unless all nations on earth come together with a plan for international health Security this virus and others will continue to cross borders. Even lawless areas like Sudan or Somalia or parts of Afghanistan would have to be made to cooperate or else be shut off from all outside contact . This will include preventing all product shipments as these may transmit his disease.  And , of coarse, no international travel at all. If as remote as Middle Earth is from the rest of earth what hope would there be for say Holland?

I acknowledge that. Recall, I said I give them the benefit of the doubt that they admit to not being sure about the genesis of the outbreak. You could be right. I could be wrong. Either is fine with me!

But the US was never in a total lockdown. And it shouldn't. You can't treat, say, Casper Wyoming the same as NYC.

     It would seem that COVID is now thought to be spread by light beams.  
             Well , it is New York after all.

That’s kinda the point. The Fed is clearly using fear of COVID to make a huge wealth grab.  And they are being quite successfully at it.
