Long Covid stories are maybe one of my favourite CV fiction tales.

Thais was aired as a sample to THREATEN us with long Covid:
After PCR+, the girl coughs EVERY 2 seconds.

155 million Covid infected in the world: she's the ONLY case.

Long Covid? Really?
We've to CAREFULLY look at after vaccine deaths, which I agree.
But we can air ONE SINGLE CASE IN THE WORLD as Long Covid risk

The girl was attending BRAIN SCANNER, as first step to psychiatric attention.
It's also barbaric to push a kid to PTS, like a Vietnam veteran

Poor girl
I'm fascinated that many Longcoviders feel much better when they're vaccinated. Very weird, to say the less, medical sounding explanations given.

Magical thought and placebo effect explain it way better.
There's a smell recovering unit for supposedly anosmia from Covid.

They make 'noise training', smelling things, like flowers. Patients report 'percentage of smell'!!
They all, 100%, completely recover.

The only true treatment they receive is getting someone's full attention.
Long Covid is one of the remaining threatens.

You can be young and be safe from serious ICU/deadly Covid, but you must be scared because weird and terrible things still can happen to you.

We never hear prevalence for them, nor a medical true LongCV definition.

Just anecdotes.
I'm sure many will have TRUE harsh consequences for pneumonia eased or consequence of a CV infection, specially fibrosis. But that's not long Covid, but a common pneumonia sequel.

Long Covid is just a slogan, medically undefined, unspecific, and made out of anecdotes.

We've serious doubts about Spanish death data, with hints pointing to 10x exaggeration from last summer.

Health Ministry produces daily reports, with ~10 or less deaths notified ONLY to be corrected 10x during following weeks.
Media systematically air over 100.

Thread.
Epidemics have TWO phases:

Epidemic phase, in which cases grow and decrease QUICKLY.
Basal phase, in which cases are stable AND LOW.

There's NO such thing as a high plateau. It makes NO epidemic sense.

It growths, it decreases or it's low and stable.
If we check Euromomo we notice the VERY HIGH (over 150 daily deaths plateau) produces NO EXCESS DEATHS.

It must produce more than a 10% excess, as expected all causes is 1.200 and we're out of winter high peak including seasonal epidemics, that could cover CV deaths.

Los límites a la Incidencia Acumulada que nos imponen para volver a la normalidad son ANTICIENTÍFICOS, ARBITRARIOS e IMPOSIBLES DE CUMPLIR.

Su valor es SEIS veces más bajo que lo conocido por la Ciencia.

El Umbral de peligro Epidémico era de casi 60 casos/100K en tasa semanal.
El método se puede encontrar en los informes del RENAVE y es un estudio de las series históricas de la epidemia de virus respiratorios (sí, TAMBIÉN los coronavirus) para cada región, puesto que hay grandes diferencias en el complejo clima español.

cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Determina el límite REAL, sobre datos históricos, en el que la incidencia se observa epidémica en los resultados hospitalarios.
El dato ÚTIL: cuándo y dónde hay que empezar a prestar más atención o incluso reforzar la atención

El Umbral de Fase Basal: la Normalidad

Spain's (surely everywhere's) limits for Covid Incidence Rate are purely arbitrary, and politically decided to be impossible to accomplish.

They are SIX TIMES LOWER than scientifically calculated values.

What we considered NO RISK, basal phase, becomes MEDIUM (3/5) RISK in CV.
I finally could find the Epidemic Threshold for Influenza Like Illnesses.

It's defined by a serious study based in historical AND regional data relating Incidence Rate and hospital outcomes.
A useful tool too understand when epidemic occurs and extra attention should be paid.
Opposing arbitrary WORLDWIDE Covid monolithic criteria, it settles different statistical values for each region

Basal phase limit varies between 33-125 cases/100K a week.

It makes sense, Spain is complex, from Continental Castile to tropical Canarias.

Private companies are deciding what the truth is,&it's fear

Here, in YouTube policies on Covid, demonetization threatens influencers, if they don't accomplish Covid Narrative

Curious distress from restrictions ISN'T acceptable, while hospital images provide 'context of a story' Image
This a famous Spanish youtuber, with a music channel, in a video on Chopin.

While he refers to tuberculosis he AVOIDS to even say Covid in a virus/bacteria comparison, and he adds 'i don't want to say it, or YouTube will demonetize this video'.

Threaten works.
I get to know thanks to this tweet, and I get shocked by how nude censorship was operating.

Imagine if you just can name Covid in a casual comparison about Chopin's death, how harsh the punishment could be if you dare to critic the lesser Covid narrative

Everytime u hear a VARIANT explanation, always scary, be sure u're considered dumb

Now, it is the India variant

The process is always the same, variant detection, increase in cases and horrible local images in media: now, same Indian CPResuscitation and funeral pyres everywhere
Media Fear Porn on Indian Variant began last March.

Guess what was growing then in India?

Bingo
Testing DOUBLED

They're recurring India now cos brute numbers are HUGE
"Pandemic in India" is ONE FIFTH of the whole world's epidemic.
When POP scaled nothing special going on there
South Africa Variant?

Let's check.

SA variant media fear campaign began December '20.

Again, testing rocketed x4.
In this crazy antiscientifical system that means for times more CASES too.

So 🦆 ing concerning!

Fear mongering is now focusing on India.

WORST NUMBER OF CASES IN A DAY IN ANY COUNTRY, decorated with terrible burning corpses images.

At the same time the Indian Double Variant appears as The New Threaten.

A little detail is left apart:
~1.4 BILLION inhabitants
If we scale to Population India's figures we notice it's quite NOTHING extraordinary going on there.

Both cases and deaths are in what we experienced as low range for this crisis.

Talking about Armageddon in India today with similar, even lower, figures is pure PROPAGANDA.
Guess what is really growing?

As usual, tests.
In the last ~2 months, test pressure was more than DOUBLED.
Cases (and detected deaths) grow at test rates.
The old very same Fear Trick

They sold 3K deaths in China like The End of the World.
Are we stupid enough to swallow again?
