Mortality in the United States. 2018 and 2020.

" ... there have been serious debates about how to react to the spread of this disease ... from closing schools and universities to locking down entire cities and countries. An alternative strategy would be to allow the causal virus (SARS-CoV-2) to spread to increase the 'population herd immunity'. 1 ...the virus will keep spreading until the population develops herd immunity when enough of the population has become immune so that the disease stops spreading."... It's estimated that 60% to 70% of the population needs to be infected to achieve herd immunity.

CDC Says COVID-19 Soon No Longer An ‘Epidemic’ At Current Rate of Decline Death rates likely to drop Nationally, levels of influenza like illness activity remain below baseline for the twelfth week and in all 10 surveillance regions for the past ten to thirteen weeks.... For children (0-17 years), cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rates are much lower than cumulative influenza hospitalization rates at comparable time points during recent influenza seasons. Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 6.9% during week 26 to 5.5% during week 27, representing the eleventh week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC. The percentage is currently below the epidemic threshold but will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks.

A pandemic is a type of epidemic (one with greater range and coverage), an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population.

A Single Session of Exercise Alters 9,815 Molecules in Our Blood The extensive molecular changes that occur during and after working out underscore how consequential activity is for our bodies and health. When we exercise, the levels of thousands of substances in our bloodstream rise and drop, according to an eye-opening new study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32470399/) of the immediate, interior impacts of working out. ... The study is the most comprehensive cataloging to date of the molecular changes that occur during and after exercise and underscores how consequential activity and inactivity may be for our bodies and health.

Association of American Physicians and Surgeons Sues the FDA to End Its Arbitrary Restrictions on Hydroxychloroquine PDF of complaint: http://aapsonline.org/judicial/aaps-v-fda-hcq-6-2-2020.pdf... June 2, 2020, the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS) filed a lawsuit, AAPS v. FDA, against the Food and Drug Administration to end its arbitrary interference with the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which many world leaders have taken as a prophylaxis against COVID-19. Two million doses of HCQ are being sent by the United States to Brazil to help medical workers there safeguard themselves against the spread of the virus. But at the same time the FDA continues to block Americans’ access to this medication. HCQ has been approved as safe by the FDA for 65 years, and the CDC states on its website that CDC has no limits on the use of hydroxychloroquine for the prevention of malaria. More than 150 million doses have been donated to the strategic national stockpile controlled by the federal government, but unjustified FDA restrictions limit its use to only hospitalized patients for whom a clinical study is unavailable. Hospitals are even returning HCQ to the stockpile because they are not able to use it effectively. It is shocking that medical workers in Brazil will have access to HCQ as a prophylaxis while Americans are blocked by the FDA from accessing the same medication for the same use, observes AAPS Executive Director Jane Orient, M.D. There is no legal or factual basis for the FDA to limit use of HCQ, states AAPS General Counsel Andrew Schlafly. The FDA’s restrictions on HCQ for Americans are completely indefensible in court. Many foreign nations, including China, India, South Korea, Costa Rica, United Arab Emirates, and Turkey, use HCQ for early treatment and prevention of COVID-19, AAPS points out. Entrenched, politically biased officials at the FDA should not be allowed to interfere with Americans’ right to access medication donated to the federal government for public use, Schlafly says. By preventing Americans’ use of HCQ as a prophylaxis, the FDA is infringing on First Amendment rights to attend religious services or participate in political events such as political conventions, town halls, and rallies in an important election year. FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn states that the FDA does not interfere with physicians’ ability to prescribe HCQ, and yet at the same time the FDA denies access by millions of Americans to 150 million doses of it in the national stockpile, Schlafly adds. This irrational hoarding by government is an abuse of power. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) has represented physicians of all specialties in all states since 1943. The AAPS motto is omnia pro aegroto, meaning everything for the patient.

Erin Marie Olszewski is a Nurse-turned-investigative journalist, who has spent the last few months on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, on the inside in two radically different settings. Two hospitals. One private, the other public. One in Florida, the other in New York. And not just any New York public hospital, but the epicenter of the epicenter itself, the infamous Elmhurst in Donald Trump’s Queens. ... As a result of these diametrically opposed experiences, she has the ultimate perspective on the pandemic. She has been where there have been the most deaths attributed to Covid-19 and where there have been the least. Erin enlisted in the Army when she was 17. She deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Part of her duties involved overseeing aid disbursement and improvements to hospital facilities. While in country she received the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service, and was wounded in combat. Erin eventually retired as a sergeant, and became a civilian nurse in 2012. Erin is a medical freedom and informed consent advocate. She co-founded the Florida Freedom Alliance but no longer has any connection with the organization. https://youtu.be/sKLsKfquR5k
