Bolsonaro has decided he doesn't want to tell the world or his country how many people have gone in mass graves , so he's had the figures removed.
He's lifted what lockdown there was there and the same is going on around the world. The economy is more important apparently and health experts a saying things like , "you've got a green light to go the slaughterhouse ".
Bolsanaro has said , " you're all destined to die " or something similar . How lovely ❤️.
It looks like everyone's going the same way , the states like Florida are reporting record numbers of infections but opening up anyway, things like restaurants and bars. Good idea
If Brazil decision to wipe figures is anything to go by , most states are going to be at least covering up deaths and infections. It easier to ignore that way , and let's face it you don't know any better until you get ill.
In the Spanish flu it got called that because the Spaniards reported the truth on figure s , they weren't under propaganda controls like everywhere else , hence People n the rest of the wotld thought the Spanish had it first and worst.
But that actually was not true at all . They'd all thought of telling the public lies by 1918 you know , do you think things have changed by 2020 ?
By this winter these policies could create an unmitigated disaster , with unmitigated being the operative word. This is not fair on medical staff , and most health systems weren't designed for this and this isn't what most medics signed up for.
The media programming is strong on ATS. All distracted again, and most are falling for the false impression that Covid-19 is not a big deal, often comparing it in that sense with the flu
Knowledge must become ‘pleasant to one’s very soul’ if discernment is to safeguard one from perversion and deception.—Pr 2:10, 11; 18:15; see KNOWLEDGE.
Relationship to Knowledge and Wisdom. Understanding must be based on knowledge, and it works with knowledge, though it is itself more than mere knowledge. The extent and worth of one’s understanding is measurably affected by the quantity and quality of one’s knowledge. Knowledge is acquaintance with facts, and the greatest and most fundamental facts relate to God, his existence, his invincible purpose, his ways. Understanding enables the person to relate the knowledge he acquires to God’s purpose and standards, and thereby he can assess or evaluate such knowledge. The “understanding heart is one that searches for knowledge”; it is not satisfied with a mere superficial view but seeks to get the full picture. (Pr 15:14) Knowledge must become ‘pleasant to one’s very soul’ if discernment is to safeguard one from perversion and deception.—Pr 2:10, 11; 18:15; see KNOWLEDGE.
Proverbs 1:1-6 shows that the “man of understanding is the one who acquires skillful direction, to understand a proverb and a puzzling saying, the words of wise persons and their riddles.” These must not be things said merely to pass the time away in idle conversation, for wise persons would not customarily waste time in such manner, but must refer to instruction, questions, and problems that discipline and train the mind and heart in right principles, thereby equipping the learner for wise action in the future. (Compare Ps 49:3, 4.) Knowledge and understanding together bring wisdom, which is “the prime thing,” the ability to bring a fund of knowledge and keen understanding to bear on problems with successful results. (Pr 4:7) The person who is rightly motivated seeks understanding, not out of mere curiosity or to exalt himself, but for the very purpose of acting in wisdom; ‘wisdom is before his face.’ (Pr 17:24; see WISDOM.) He is not like those in the apostle Paul’s day who assumed to be teachers of others but were “puffed up with pride, not understanding anything,” unwisely letting themselves become “mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words,” things that produce disunity and a host of bad results.—1Ti 6:3-5.
One is helped to appreciate more fully the meaning and importance of knowledge by examining the Hebrew and Greek words often translated “knowledge” as well as by noting the relationship between knowledge and wisdom, understanding, thinking ability, and discernment.
...
Related Attributes. Frequently in the Bible, knowledge is linked with other attributes such as wisdom, understanding, discernment, and thinking ability. (Pr 2:1-6, 10, 11) ... The setting and the use of a word affect the sense. Nonetheless, certain interesting differences emerge when one notes the Bible’s references to knowledge, wisdom, understanding, discernment, and thinking ability.
Wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to put knowledge to work, or to use it, the intelligent application of learning. A person might have considerable knowledge but not know how to use it because of lacking wisdom. ... “Wisdom is the prime thing,” for without it knowledge is of little value. (Pr 4:7; 15:2) ...
Understanding. Understanding is the ability to see how the parts or aspects of something relate to one another, to see the entire matter and not just isolated facts. The Hebrew root verb bin has the basic meaning “separate” or “distinguish,” and it is often rendered “understand” or “discern.” It is similar with the Greek sy·niʹe·mi. Thus at Acts 28:26 (quoting Isa 6:9, 10) it could be said that the Jews heard but did not understand, or did not put together. They did not grasp how the points or thoughts fitted together to mean something to them. ... Because a person with understanding is able to connect new information to things he already knows, it can be said that “to the understanding one knowledge is an easy thing.” (Pr 14:6) Knowledge and understanding are allied, and both are to be sought.—Pr 2:5; 18:15.
Discernment. A Hebrew word frequently rendered “discernment” (tevu·nahʹ) is related to the word bi·nahʹ, translated “understanding.” ... As with understanding, discernment involves seeing or recognizing things, but it emphasizes distinguishing the parts, weighing or evaluating one in the light of the others. A person who unites knowledge and discernment controls what he says and is cool of spirit. (Pr 17:27) ...
Thinking ability. Knowledge is also related to what is sometimes translated “thinking ability” (Heb., mezim·mahʹ). The Hebrew word can be used in a bad sense (evil ideas, schemes, devices) or a favorable one (shrewdness, sagacity). (Ps 10:2; Pr 1:4) Thus the mind and thoughts can be directed to an admirable, upright end, or just the opposite. ...

...so they become more careless, taking less precautions not to spread the disease; first step being, doing everything you can not to get it: 'if you can't get it, you can't spread it'. That's how you show you care about other people's lives, black or otherwise; not by being stupid and allowing yourself to be brainwashed and manipulated by political lobbyists to increase the spread of the disease particularly to a well-known vulnerable group: black people in poor communities (see Dr. Ban's commentary about that in the playlist linked further below, it's probably in the OAN interview, after the "case studies"). By gathering in demonstrations with substandard masks ... "True wisdom" is still crying out "aloud in the street" as well, but nobody is "paying" any "attention", see Proverbs 1:20-33.

Covid-19 is not the flu. Why don't you count the number of people who have gotten irreversible lung damage from Covid-19 and compare that with the flu for a change.
Or better yet, compare actual Covid-19 patients with your own experiences with the flu below, and imagine what kind of suffering the patients below would have had to endure if they hadn't been treated with Dr. Ban's HCQ protocol (remember it's Covid-19 + "horrible care" that is killing the most people and doing the most damage here, mostly the "horrible care", that's why I bolded it, "horrible care" includes no care, sending them home from the ER with the wrong medication, or insufficient medication and so-called "supportive care", that treats the symptoms, not the cause of the symptoms, which also takes us back to my mention of "the wrong medication, or insufficient medication"*), or worse, had been admitted to a hospital with the horrible protocols in place there (*: also see the way Dr. Ban puts it at the end of his "Case Studies for Doctors" series when he's talking about "doing the right thing" and the phrase 'do no harm', "if you do nothing, you are doing harm", which basically boils down to if you don't give them the well-established and proven effective HCQ treatment with the combination of substances in Dr. Ban's protocol, you might as well be described as doing nothing, you're not helping the patient, and you're doing harm. "You are contributing to the problem" as the NYC nurse puts it when she describes "horrible care"):
There's a second part in the playlist linked below, but I'll link another video with the term "horrible care" in case you haven't seen my commentary about that term yet (the 2nd part of the video above is a few videos back):
Whistleblower NYC Nurse claims the city is 'murdering' COVID-19 patients "Patients are left to rot"
...
The above pathologies are not novel, although the combined severity in COVID-19 disease is considerable. Our long-standing and more recent experiences show consistently successful treatment if traditional therapeutic principles of early and aggressive intervention is achieved, before the onset of advanced organ failure. It is our collective opinion that the historically high levels of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 is due to a single factor: the widespread and inappropriate reluctance amongst intensivists to employ anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant treatments, including corticosteroid therapy early in the course of a patient’s hospitalization. [a part of so-called "supportive care"/"horrible care"/murderous care, only treating the symptoms, not the cause] It is essential to recognize that it is not the virus that is killing the patient, rather it is the patient’s overactive immune system. [71] [or you can phrase that as "the health care workers blindly and obediently following horrible care hospital protocols, due to criminal negligence in relation to HCQ's well-proven, well-established, well-evidenced effectiveness, back in March already] The flames of the “cytokine fire” are out of control and need to be extinguished. Providing supportive care (with ventilators that themselves stoke the fire) and waiting for the cytokine fire to burn itself out simply does not work... this approach has FAILED and has led to the death of tens of thousands of patients. [see? They acknowledge what I said, they just don't want to spell it out any clearer, it's called "murderous care", not "supportive care", you're not helping the patients, "you are contributing to the problem" as the NYC nurse puts it.]
The systematic failure of critical care systems to adopt corticosteroid therapy resulted from the published recommendations against corticosteroids use by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Thoracic Society (ATS), Infectious Diseases Association of America (IDSA) amongst others. A very recent publication by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and authored one of the members of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) group (UM), identified the errors made by these organizations in their analyses of corticosteroid studies based on the findings of the SARS and H1N1 pandemics.[31,80] Their erroneous recommendation to avoid corticosteroids in the treatment of COVID-19 has led to the development of myriad organ failures which have overwhelmed critical care systems across the world.
Our treatment protocol targeting these key pathologies has achieved near uniform success, if begun within 6 hours of a COVID19 patient presenting with shortness of breath or needing ≥4L/min of oxygen. If such early initiation of treatment could be systematically achieved, the need for mechanical ventilators and ICU beds will decrease dramatically. [and the need for the invasive corticosteroids, immunosuppressors, and anticoagulants can be entirely avoided with early outpatient treatment with Dr. Ban's protocol, so you'll need no mechanical ventilators at all, no ICU beds, and no one needs or needed to die, espacially if you're willing to escalate care with corticosteroids when needed or warranted, as explained by Dr. Ban. Of course, that's not so profitable for the hospitals as the way things are handled now in the whole world dominated by materialism and a love of money, and prideful lovers of themselves.]
It is important to recognize that “COVID-19 pneumonia” does not cause ARDS. The initial phase of “oxygenation failure” is characterized by normal lung compliance, with poor recruitability and near normal lung water (as measured by transpulmonary thermodilution). This is the “L phenotype” as reported by Gattonini and colleagues. [81-84] Treating these patients with early intubation and the ARDNSnet treatment protocol will cause the disease you are trying to prevent i.e. ARDS. These patients tolerate hypoxia remarkable well, without an increase in blood lactate concentration nor a fall in central venous oxygen saturation. We therefore suggest the liberal use of HFNC, with frequent patient repositioning (proning) and the acceptance of “permissive hypoxemia”. However, this approach entails close patient observation. [compare all this with what the NYC nurse mentions about skipping certain things to go straight to intubation, including Dr. Ban's HCQ protocol (which includes Azithromycin/Zpack/Zithromax + zinc + copper + vitC+D3, which the NYC nurse all mentions, with an escalation to prednisone, an immunosppressor as an anti-inflammatory treatment, anticoagulants if needed then along with an antibiotica mix probably if you are using immunosuppressors).]
...
Finally, it is important to acknowledge that there is no known therapeutic intervention that has unequivocally been proven to improve the outcome of COVID-19. [not really true, see Dr. Ban's HCQ protocol and case studies, but that's besides the crucial point following now, it's not a good excuse for "murderous care", 'doing what is akin to nothing as explained before, ignoring the evidence by convincing yourself it isn't clear enough, and not treating the patient, not really helping the patient, not fixing the problem but contributing to the problem as described further above concerning ARDS and the other things...] This, however, does not mean we should adopt a nihilist approach and limit treatment to “supportive care”. ["murderous care", say it right please] Furthermore, it is likely that there will not be a single “magic bullet” to cure COVID-19. [as Dr. Ban already realized on March 20, little late now guys, and you're still not arguing that HCQ should be the first and foremost line of defense against corona, and that that was already clear back in March and because it's beneficial effects far far far outweigh any toxicity or side effects or risks associated with it, sigh, when will they learn? Instead of cover the asses of those not using it as such, including themselves with their "optional" and 'not proven'.] Rather, we should be using multiple drugs/interventions that have synergistic and overlapping biological effects that are safe, cheap and “readily” available. The impact of COVID-19 on middle- and low-income countries will be enormous; these countries will not be able to afford expensive designer molecules. Figure 7. The consequences of “steroid” avoidance”. [Dr. Ban's HCQ protocol avoidance and "horrible murderous care" by doing it wrong, say it right please.] CT scan after 23 days of “supportive care” demonstrating the late fibroproliferative (irreversible) phase of COVID-19 lung disease (Image kindly provide by Dr. Pierre Kory, from NYC).
