Same in Portugal

my oldest aunt is with COVID too

just been told minutes ago she passes 80 🙄😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

Oh I'm so sorry sister Sofia. Maybe she will get through it as many have. 
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 
Yes that’s the thing, they relaxed the rules, (even for just one day, Xmas day,) and now they are seeing the effects from it. Thank goodness they changed the relaxation to just one day instead of the five days they had planned. Can you imagine how many more thousands would be infected! 
A couple of days ago I was shocked when they announced 1,200 that died! But today it’s heartbreaking to see the numbers so high!
Behind every number is a person who has a family who are grieving. Very sad 😔

she´s over 80, not dead yet, but sick for 2 weeks now, so Im ready for the worse :(  thanks ❤️

P.S Can you believe she tested only TODAY! grrr.... how irresponsible

SHE´S SICK FOR 2 WEEKS, now she has passed the virus into a lot of people, including my cousins and others

ah! it all started AT CHRISTMAS celebration.

In Portugal everybody is blaming christmas celebration for the 14 000 average new positives each day.

 

and yes, I was yelling with caps on.

Ah, I misunderstood.  Hoping she recovers.

Phillipians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.

Sis, one way or another we are all suffering from this. We are looking forward that this will all be done away with soon. Revelation 21:1-4  We love and care for you too.

Well done for finding the truth of the matter. 
 

A few more known to us have tested positive in the past few weeks. I just don’t see it ending anytime soon.

Dr. Fauci says U.S. could expect ‘degree of normality’ in fall

 

The nation’s top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci gave a glimmer of hope Thursday during his first coronavirus briefing under the Biden administration.

Dr. Fauci said if 70 to 85% of Americans get vaccinated by the end or middle of the summer, a “degree of normality” can be expected by around the fall.

The trouble is that politically motivated people tend to have an agenda.

 

https://new.finalcall.com/2020/09/15/questions-about-safety-corruption-oversight-vaccine-makers-and-dr-faucis-guarantees/

 

Del Bigtree, CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network, told The Final Call in a telephone interview, “I know there is absolutely no way to say that any of these vaccines are going to be safe if delivered by next year. There is no way because we are talking about mRNA vaccines that manipulate your RNA, DNA, cells. We have never made a vaccine like this before. It is brand new. Before a vaccine of this magnitude can be brought to market, a true safety trial must be performed to ensure that we don’t have long term autoimmune and neurological disorders caused by these vaccines. The only way you can do that is to have trials that are compared to a placebo group and follow them for a least two to three years.”

I am really surprised. 

 

I would have not thought to see the day when a quote is taken from the people, I (and other JWs compete for space in old street corner witnessing in my area) would appear in a JW affiliated forum. 

 

I have seen it all. Lol

The point is simply about acknowledging that people connected to politics tend to have an agenda and often get involved in corruption of some sort or another.

 

Government corruption has been defined as the abuse of public power for private gain. Such abuse has a long history. For example, the Bible includes a law prohibiting bribery in judicial cases, showing that the practice was already well-known over 3,500 years ago. (Exodus 23:8) Of course, corruption involves more than just accepting bribes. Corrupt public officials sometimes appropriate goods, take advantage of services to which they are not entitled, or even steal funds outright. They may also use their position to favor their friends and relatives unfairly.

While corruption can exist in any human organization, it seems that corruption in government is the worst. The 2013 Global Corruption Barometer, published by Transparency International, reported that people worldwide have the perception that the five most corrupt institutions are political parties, the police, public officials, the legislature, and the judiciary.

Maybe we should check our sources a little bit better for political/religious ties and agendas..

Not all sources of information are equal..

 

The Final Call (ISSN 1090-7327) is a newspaper published in Chicago. It was founded in 1979 by Minister Louis Farrakhan and serves as the official newspaper of the Nation of Islam. The magazine acts as the group's tool to spread their agenda, goals and their view of world events and natural disasters.

 

Also they are quoting from the Informed Action Network...a little bit of cherry picking and symbiosis going on..

 

The Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) is one of the main anti-vaccination groups in the United States. Founded in 2016 by Del Bigtree, it spreads misinformation about the risks of vaccines and contributes to vaccine hesitancy,[1][2][3] which has been identified by the World Health Organizationas one of the top ten global health threats of 2019.[4][5] Arguments against vaccination are contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensusabout the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.[6][7][8][9]

Take this post as advice and not a statement. I have sat on it for a while before posting. 

 

I wish people would treat their choice and research on vaccines or medical treatments the same as blood fractions. In other words, it's nobody else's business what we decide. Nor is it our duty to inform others of our personal research. It's your personal research. I actually thought we were as witnesses specifically not to recommend medical advice to others. I'm seeing advice being given to others in other threads when nothing is known about those who may be listening to perhaps deadly advice. It's crazy. 

It should be remembered that if we pass our research on and it happened to harm someone then we are partly responsible for that harm. That does not take away from the listeners own responsibility for what they choose to do though. 

We should do research for ourselves or our family. Perhaps if someone asks our advice we could pass it on but only if your absolutely sure it is correct and you know all the facts and not just because you read it heard it or saw something about it. 

Here is a true story. My Father had stage 3 bowel cancer. Some brothers and sisters in the early days gave him all sorts of advice on what he should eat, what he should take, what will help, what they had read, what they had watched tc etc. 

He mentioned a few of those ideas to his surgeon. One thing in particular that he had been told would have sped up the growth of the particular type of cancer he had. It might have been OK for another type of cancer but most certainly not his.

He would not be here today if he had listened to the research and advice, no matter how well intentioned it was. 

Nobody was out to harm my dad but it could have been deadly advice.

I know that nobody is out to harm anyone by their suggestions but we have been encouraged time and time again to be very careful what is passed on. Some people can be easily led.

There were several well meaning friends who gave us advice also for my husband's cancer.  Sometimes they would send me articles, videos, etc, that had convinced them that the 'treatments' were "proven safe and effective".   Sadly, all of them would all have killed my husband years before the cancer did. This concerned me greatly because I knew there were brothers/sisters who would not have done their own research to see if the information was in fact true and safe.

Regarding richer nations hoarding vaccines while the poor countries languish behind:

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/australia-s-vaccinations-are-about-to-begin-but-some-countries-may-have-to-wait-years?cid=sbsnews:edm:newswe:relation:news:na:na

 

“Everything about this is unprecedented,” Dr Taylor said. “Because of the sheer scale of this effort, and the volume of vaccine needed, and the need to cover every population in every country across the globe, more or less at the same rate, in order to control the pandemic, these are all new, new experiences for the global community.”

 

World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom on Monday described the possibility of poor countries missing out on the vaccine as a “catastrophic moral failure” with the promise of equitable access “at serious risk”.

So far, more than 39 million doses of the vaccine have been administered in at least 49 high-income countries, he said, compared to just 25 single doses in one low-income country.

 

“Not 25 million, not 25 thousand, 25,” he said. “I need to be blunt: the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure - and the price of this failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world’s poorest countries.”

 

Bottom line: If the pandemic is able to continue spreading in low-income countries, the virus has a greater chance of mutating and evolving into strains not covered by the first generation vaccines.  


The vaccine is really not going to be the solution they hoped for UNLESS it’s shared and distributed across the globe.

Jan. 22, 2021

The Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) announced today that the COLCORONA clinical trial has provided clinically persuasive results of colchicine’s efficacy to treat COVID-19. The study results have shown that colchicine has reduced by 21% the risk of death or hospitalizations in patients with COVID-19 compared to placebo

“Our research shows the efficacy of colchicine treatment in preventing the ‘cytokine storm’ phenomenon and reducing the complications associated with COVID-19,” said Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif, Director of the MHI Research Center at the Université de Montréal and Principal Investigator of the COLCORONA trial.

Treating patients at risk of complications with colchicine as soon as the diagnosis of COVID-19 is confirmed by PCR reduces their risk of developing a severe form of the disease and, consequently, reduces the number of hospitalizations.

Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is an important tool for creativity. It causes a rush of activity in a circuit, which connects different parts of the brain and allows the mind to make new associations.

I was looking at this chart on the BBC Website.  The first wave lasted for about 3 months (March to June), then we had about 3 months (July to Sept) where cases were low, and it seemed like things were going to back to normal.  Then the second wave hit.  And it has hit hard. Number of patients in hospital with Co-Vid is double than that of the first wave.  And it has been with us for 4 months now (Oct to Jan), and will continue.

Two face masks are better than one, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday.

The infectious diseases specialist advised that double-masking is a logical way to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Yep..LOL...I saw this one sis..been wearing doubles for several months now!!! 😷

Hubby just started two days ago doubling up!😛

Masks outdoors is compulsory at all times in France , so 2 masks  make breathing  difficult .  It is a challenge if one is working all day (compulsory masks at all times in working environments here) and then can't take them off to get some fresh air on the way home.

 

Still , better safe than sorry.    In fact if one is good, two is better... maybe three or more is best!

So if we have a three year pandemic like the Spanish flu....possibly over 300 million infected over the three years. At a death rate of 2.9 percent, we are looking at deaths in the range of 8.7 million. 
 

that’s the entire population of Chicago or Tehran. Based on Wikipedia numbers. 

Jer 29:11-“For I well know the thoughts I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

Psalm 56:3-“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Romans 8:38-”For I am convinced...”
