If I had to guess about the current outbreaks in China,

3 years of immune system suppression, combined with all the stress and mass anxiety, have created the perfect conditions for illness.

Fear is the most deadly virus!

the use of your brain is unfortunately not required by law.

i have found the best overall position is to first determine "who benefits" from dispensing information and advising against other information, and in contrast "who risks" providing certain information to their own detriment - i find it helps provide balance.

Why does every disease have to be treated with medicine? Why not rest and sleep for a few days, as countless generations have done before us?

> paracetamol ... which are of course just fever suppressants

AFAIK paracetamol does not suppress fever. It suppresses pain, is slightly addictive, and has a small chance of damaging the kidneys. It has no positive effects at all.

> In countless cities, 80% or more are infected

How would a virus suddenly spread to 80% of people in countless cities, at the same time, while staying within one country? What model of contagion is compatible with this observation?

What works for me is keeping my vitamin D levels in range and then when I catch an upper respiratory infection, sucking small amounts of zinc citrate in tablet form several times a day after eating or drinking so it coats my throat. I usually cut the tablets in half to spread out the dose because too much zinc can be harmful. It's been almost 6 years now that I've been doing that, including two and a half years of daily travelling on packed commuter trains in a big city, and I've had numerous colds but they've all been super mild, usually 0-2 sneezes in total, no blocked nose, no need for paracetamol, all but one were gone in 48 hours with a further day or two of feeling mildly post-viral. More recently I added quercetin as a zinc ionophore although the additional benefit has not been obvious. I think I had omicron earlier this year (no proof) and it lasted 24 hours with a further day of feeling post-viral, again super-mild.

It would have been infinitely better for communities to deal with the threat as it came, slowly, rather than to suppress it for nearly 3 years. We can see what happens when it finally broke out, the huge spike in cases. That so many Chinese citizens thought this was the best way of dealing with the threat is truly sad, but of course it was only one component of the overall Covid agenda so it seems. My question is whether this will be seen as a learning opportunity to (A) have a more rational policy next time, or (B) do more of the same, but stricter next time.

How do they test for COVID? The PCR test is not reliable -- according to the inventor (Kary Mullis) PCR should never, ever be used for diagnosis. In any event, if you are sick, you are sick. FLCCC.net has the best protocols I've seen divided into 1) Protection; 2) Treatment; 3) Recovery. https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols/

This is a wonderful primer for any audience. I’m sorry I didn’t read it earlier.
