While they are occurring on vastly different time scales, the COVID-19 panic and the climate change panic are remarkably similar.

Perhaps there are certain basic social panic mechanisms that always occur, which are yet to be discovered. Yet in any case, the striking similarities between these two are worth exploring a bit.

The tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be entering the containment phase. Tens of thousands of Americans have died, and Americans are now desperate for sensible policymakers who have the courage to ignore the panic and rely on facts.

One thing the coronavirus outbreak has taught us is that we have limited resources, at least when it comes to funding.

Consider that the funds set aside for small businesses in the Paycheck Protection Program ran out in a matter of weeks. And that’s the federal government. State governments have even less budgetary room to play around with, and counties have even less money.

There is simply no other way to state this. Nearly everything we’ve been told about models, rates of infection, deaths, and recoveries was inaccurate.

I’m not here to argue that it was malfeasance or ignorance — both are unacceptable. But the one thing that Governor Andrew Cuomo’s stunning announcement made clear on Thursday is that there are some pretty shocking — and what should be — reassuring truths.

Birmingham’s Nightingale hospital is “not being used at all” 10 days after it was opened by the Duke of Cambridge.

Set up inside the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), the site is intended to take up to 500 coronavirus patients at a time from 23 Midlands hospitals.

Considerable research into the use of UV light for treatment of disease was initiated in the 1870’s.

One of the first researchers to experiment with UV light was Niels Ryberg Finsen (photo, below), who won the Nobel Prize for “Physiology of Medicine” in 1903 for the treatment of 300 people suffering from Lupus in Denmark.

The tech social media giants are now blocking information that could save lives because it is not approved by the WHO overlords. And it might make President Trump look good.

Government authorities, advisers and analysts who are calling for a continuation of the near-total lockdown of the economy are ignoring five key facts, contends a former top health official at the Stanford Medical Center.

Over the past  few years we’ve developed a promising technique to prevent the airborne transmission of viruses like influenza virus, which we would expect to be effective for coronavirus too.  In short the idea is to use the power of light.

Clumps of harmful proteins that interfere with brain functions have been partially cleared in mice using nothing but light and sound.

Research led by MIT earlier this year found strobe lights and a low pitched buzz can be used to recreate brain waves lost in the disease, which in turn remove plaque and improve cognitive function in mice engineered to display Alzheimer’s-like behaviour.

Anyone defending the Bill Gates/WHO global vaccine program needs to explain this study: Mogensen et al 2017.

Prior to 2017, neither HHS nor WHO ever performed the kind of vaccinated/unvaccinated (or placebo) study necessary to ascertain if the DTP vaccine actually yields beneficial health outcomes.

Mainstream media in the U.S. and internationally is falsely claiming that US President Donald Trump recommended injecting bleach as a treatment for coronavirus. The lie was broadcast on American news channels, the UK’s BBC and elsewhere.

Families of cancer patients whose loved ones are not able to receive treatment in hospitals because of the coronavirus pandemic have slammed videos which show nurses dancing as “disrespectful.”
