Herd Immunity By April

With cases of COVID-19 down and vaccinations in full swing, many think we’ll reach herd immunity sometime in April. Stephen Green of the “Right Angle” triumvirate, says a recent article in the Wall Street Journal reports that COVID cases nationwide are down almost 70 percent in the last six weeks (ending two weeks ago) and cases have further declined since.

The article goes on to state that testing has only been able to capture between 10 to 25 percent of infections, depending on when one contracted the virus. Applying some time-weighted math to the 28 million confirmed coronavirus cases, points to 55 percent of Americans with natural immunity, though well short of the 85 percent needed for herd immunity. But hold on. As of two weeks ago, 15 percent of Americans have been vaccinated and that number is growing. And furthermore, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb says 250 million vaccine doses will be delivered to Americans by the end of March, which should bring us to herd immunity. Bill Whittle and Scott Ott join Green for their analyses of the issue.

We’re At A Pandemic Now

Dr. Gregory Poland, professor of medicine and infectious diseases and the director of the Vaccine Research Group at Mayo Clinic, and Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Pfizer board member and former FDA Commissioner, join the CNBC “Squawk Box” to discuss the spread of misinformation on the coronavirus. Dr. Poland says, “We’re basically at a pandemic now.”

Chris Martenson agrees we have reached the pandemic stage. Whether or not this can be corralled really depends on efforts to contain it over the next two weeks. This includes refocusing on Third World locations where the virus could be festering but so far has not been reported: Particularly Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. Martenson emphasizes: Now is the time to get prepared. Have ample supplies at home so if you are forced to sequester inside, you can last this out.

More than 24,000 are now infected. That’s because the length of the infection is quite long, as much as a month. The coronavirus can also survive outside as long as five days, so this is going to be the pandemic from Hell. There are two new epicenters: In addition to Wuhan, we now have violent outbreaks in Zheijang and Guangdong. One of the biggest problems: Both China and the World Health Organization grossly underestimated the extent of the coronavirus for weeks. So we are left now trying to play catch-up.

On Feb. 1, Adrian Bond wrote an article called “Coronavirus Exposed, Part 1: Communist Coverup, or Pandemic Weapon of Mass Destruction.” Within two days, the piece had disappeared off the the Internet. Was this article deleted because the author knew too much? Mr. Obvious explores the possibilities and also reads from the censored article, which he managed to find elsewhere.

As the Wuhan coronavirus spread worsens, the financial markets are throwing one hell of party, hitting record highs. Yet the world’s #2 economy, China, just hung up a big “CLOSED” sign — stocks should be tanking hard here. How can they shrug off the virus’ threat to global trade?

Chris Martenson believes that government intervention is at play here. There are few things that send the soothing signal that “All is well” more than higher stock prices do. As politicians say: “When it gets serious, you have to lie”.

Folks, it looks like the coronavirus is so serious that governments are in full panic-suppression mode. It’s becoming harder and harder to trust the official guidance being issued — we need to educate ourselves as best we can.

Meanwhile, the new data we are gathering suggest the virus continues to be more contagious than previously expected…
