In Turkey everyone who tests positive for Covid-19 is prescribed hydroxychloroquine which doctors say delays or eliminates need for ICU. Turkey has humane weekend only lockdown for everyone aged 20-65

40% of US Covid-19 deaths occur in nursing homes. In Europe up to 50% of coronavirus-related deaths occur in nursing homes.

4/30/20, Turkey claims success treating COVID-19 with broad use of drug touted by Trump," CBS News , Pinar Sevinclidir, Istanbul
 
Turkey has the biggest coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East, with more than 117,000 confirmed infections. More than 3,000 people have died. But the government claims to have a lower fatality rate than the global average estimated by the World Health Organization at over 3%. 

The Turkish government imposed weekend-only lockdowns and banned only those under the age of 20 and over 65 from leaving their homes during the week, in an effort to limit the economic impact of the pandemic.  

Turkey’s Ministry of Health says the relatively low death toll is thanks to treatment protocols in the country, which involve two existing drugs...anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine…and Japanese antiviral favipiravir. 

Doctors prescribe hydroxychloroquine to everyone who is tested positive for coronavirus Dr. Sema Turan, a member of the Turkish government’s coronavirus advisory board, told CBS News. Hospitalized patients may be given favipiravir as well if they encounter breathing problems, she said. 

Turan said the combination of drugs appeared to “delay or eliminate the need for intensive care for patients. But it’s important to note that Turkey’s use of the drug is not a clinically controlled trial; there’s no control group of patients not given the medication to compare the results against. [It’s also “important to note” that a 3/16/20 UK study’s prediction of 2.2 million American deaths was opinion and not science since the study hadn’t been published in a peer-reviewed journal, and its authors declined to make their code available to the public. No one in their right mind would use an unscientific study as a reason to imprison millions of Americans and their children indefinitely, yet on March 16, 2020, “the White House quickly “ did so, though at first saying it was only for 30 days.] 

Clinical trials have been underway in the U.S. and elsewhere, but the results aren’t yet clear…. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved emergency use of hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus patients, but has warned it should only be used in clinical trials or under the close observation of doctors, citing an observed risk of heart complications. 

Measuring mortality 

Comparisons between countries’ reported mortality rates, as offered by Turkey, are of limited use, as different nations tabulate the statistics used to determine those rates in different ways, and with varying reliability.

Mortality is essentially a measure of the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who go on to die, so having an accurate picture of the number of infections is key. 

Turkey has so far conducted about 948,000 COVID-19 tests, according to the data-gathering website worldmeters.info. That equates to a testing rate of about 11,200 people per million residents. By comparison, the U.S. has tested almost 19,000 people per million, and proactive Germany almost 25,000 per million…. 

The Turkish Medical Association, the country’s largest doctors’ union, has criticized the government for not using broader diagnostic criteria approved by the World Health Organization in its counting of COVID-19 deaths, saying it could be obscuring the “real dimensions of the problem.” 

Asked about those claims, an official at the Ministry of Health told CBS News that the broader WHO criteria are meant for countries with limited testing capacity and Turkey, the official said, has “extensive capacity to conduct tests" and “is acting in line with the international standards.””…

Our confinement is loved today by some US governors but not for medical reasons. Mass civilian confinement was imagined by Bush cronies as a great military idea-Covid-19 and Red Dawn emails, Meyssan, Voltaire

Mass civilian confinement imagined by Bush cronies as a military idea is loved in 2020 by Macron and some US governors: “The U.S. military rule adopted by France has spread like the virus it is supposed to fight until the world economy is interrupted. Food problems are arising everywhere and, if nothing is done, famines will appear, including in certain sectors of rich countries.”...Beltway types in 2020 formed a virus discussion and action group to, as usual, save the nation from Trump.

April 28, 2020, “Covid-19 and The Red Dawn Emails, Thierry Meyssan
 
Image: “Dr. Richard Hatchett. He was an advisor to President George W. Bush, for whom he imagined mandatory confinement of the civilian population and now heads CEPI, the global coordination group for vaccine investment created by the Davos Forum around the Gates Foundation. He was the first to equate the Covid-19 epidemic with a “war” (sic).” 

“The Covid-19 outbreak has so far killed more than 200,000 people and frightened billions more into panic. A panic that deprives most of them of any critical sense and pushes them to make or approve stupid political decisions. A group of personalities, Red Dawn, whose correspondence was revealed by Kaiser Health News and the New York Times website, managed to impose an apocalyptic ideology: China would have declared war on us and we could only protect ourselves by confining all civilians.” 


I have also shown in another article [2] that the containment measures in China were not medically motivated, but politically motivated (the “Mandate from Heaven” theory).  It remains to be explained where the mandatory containment of everyone as practiced [by the US] in the West comes from. 

I spent weeks and weeks looking at epidemiological literature, but nowhere did I find any evidence of such a measure. Never in history has an epidemic been fought in this way. Then, a corner of the veil was indirectly lifted by correspondence revealed by Kaiser Health News: this measure had been planned by the Bush administration in 2005-07. 

The assignment of military and civilians 

In 2005, the US Department of Defense was studying how to prepare for bioterrorist attacks against US troops stationed abroad. Based on the neo-conservative principle that terrorists are foreigners and that they would not be able to enter US military facilities, the department was concerned about preventing attacks that soldiers might face during their sorties. Isolating sick soldiers in hospitals and placing healthy soldiers in barracks was a logical option. Moreover, U.S. military bases are small towns, designed to withstand sieges. One can live there for months without any problems. 

However, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld intended to transform society so that the distinction between civilian and military would disappear. Everyone could then be requisitioned for the total war on terror. This is what he explained in an op-ed published [9/27/2001] by the Washington Post [3]. 

Dr. Carter Mecher of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Dr. Richard Hatchett of the National Security Council have been asked to extend this military rule to civilians. They were only able to impose it on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2006, just before Rumfeld’s departure. 

It immediately sparked a storm of protest in the United States under the leadership of Professor Donald Henderson, who had headed both the John Hopkins University School of Public Health and the US epidemic response system. He – and all the doctors who spoke out at the time – believed that placing the entire population under house arrest made no medical sense and violated fundamental freedoms. It is nothing more and nothing less than the totalitarian drift of the administration that had passed the USA Patriot Act on the occasion of the September 11 attacks. 

It was not until 2017 that all official US documents mentioning this measure were destroyed by the Trump administration. Richard Hatchett became the director of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which coordinates global vaccine investments.

One of the Red Dawn e-mails. Dr. Lawler explicitly refers to the plan developed for President Bush by Drs. Mecher and Hatchett to place the civilian population under house arrest.

“Red Dawn”
Everyone followed the contradictions in the [2020] White House press briefings on the reaction to Covid-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House’s ephemeral scientific backer, advocated authoritarian measures to contain the epidemic, while apparently unconscious President Donald Trump opposed containment measures in the name of freedom for all. 

In order to prove the president’s incompetence, Dr. Fauci’s friends leaked some of their correspondence [4]. It appears that they formed a discussion and action group, the Red Dawn[5]. 

This name [Red Dawn] refers to a little-known operation by Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger who, in 1984, sent a delegation throughout Europe and Latin America seeking the help of the Allies in the face of an imminent invasion of the United States. The French Secretary of State for External Relations, Jean-Michel Baylet, told me about this grotesque attempt at manipulation: a host of US generals had come to Paris to expose in the most serious way possible that the world’s leading power was threatened by two small, poor states, Cuba and Nicaragua. In the room, the French diplomats, who could not believe their eyes at being taken for fools in this way, were pinching their lips so as not to laugh in their faces. To support this campaign, the Pentagon had a propaganda film made by Hollywood with Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen. Later, it used the name “Red Dawn” to refer to the operation to capture Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 2003. 

By choosing to be called “Red Dawn”, the 37 personalities involved [in 1984] clearly display their visceral anti-communism.There is no longer a USSR, but the Communist Party still rules China, from where the epidemic originated….

Among the members of this [2020 alleged elite] group are the inevitable Drs. Anthony Fauci (Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) and Robert Redfield (Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) as well as Drs. Carter Mecher (advisor to the Department of Veterans Affairs) and Richard Hatchett (Director of CEPI) who imposed the military rules of civilian containment during the Bush administration. 

Dr. Richard Hatchett’s ideas were taken up in full by French President Emmanuel Macron. We are at war and we must confine all civilians to their homes to protect ourselves. They have also been taken up by some US governors, but not by President Donald Trump. 

The rest is well known. Panic has gripped public opinion. Political leaders fearing that they will be accused of doing nothing are mimicking those who act. The U.S. military rule adopted by France has spread like the virus it is supposed to fight until the world economy is interrupted. Food problems are arising everywhere and, if nothing is done, famines will appear, including in certain sectors of rich countries.”

Added: “Then Chairs Conte and Macron made it mandatory to have an official form to go for a walk....The authoritarian decisions of Italy and France have no medical justification. They contradict the observations of the best infectiologists and the instructions of the World Health Organization.” 

3/21/20, “Covid-19: propaganda and manipulation,” Voltaire, Thierry Meyssan 

“Modern propaganda does not limit itself to publishing false news as the United Kingdom did to convince its people to enter the First World War, it drafts them as Germany did to convince its people to fight in the Second World War. The recipe is always the same: to exert psychological pressure to induce subjects to voluntarily practice acts that they know are useless, but which will lead them to believe and repeat falsehoods [5]….In the case of the Covid-19, it is the voluntary confinement in the home that forces the person who accepts it to convince himself of the veracity of the threat. 

Let us remember that never in history has the confinement of a healthy population been used to fight a disease. Above all, let us remember that this epidemic has had no significant consequences in terms of mortality…. 

According to the President of the Italian Council, Giuseppe Conte, and the French President, Emmanuel Macron, the aim of confining the entire population at home is not to overcome the epidemic, but to spread it out over time so that the sick do not arrive at the same time in hospitals and saturate them. In other words, it is not a medical measure, but an exclusively administrative one. It will not reduce the number of infected people, but will postpone it in time. 

In order to convince the Italians and the French of the merits of their decision, Presidents Conte and Macron first enlisted the support of committees of scientific experts. While these committees had no objection to people staying at home, they had no objection to people going about their business. Then Chairs Conte and Macron made it mandatory to have an official form to go for a walk. This document on the letterheads of the respective ministries of the interior is drawn up on honour and is not subject to any checks or sanctions…. 

It is too early to say what real goal the Conte and Macron governments are pursuing. The only thing that is certain is that it is not a question of fighting Covid-19.”

Not a “conspiracy theory” that many deaths “counted” as virus deaths were never tested for virus such as 55 deaths at Brooklyn nursing home in April-AP, 4/23/20

4/23/20, “Nursing homes plead for more coronavirus tests,” AP via PBS.org 

“That became clear in some of the nation’s biggest nursing home outbreaks. After a home in New York City’s Brooklyn borough reported 55 coronavirus deaths last week, its CEO acknowledged it was based entirely on symptoms and educated guesses the dead had COVID-19 because they were unable to actually test any of the residents or staff.”…

Indian and Caribbean races more likely to catch and die from Covid-19 per Kings College London study. Genetics determine 50% of certain Covid-19 symptoms-UK Telegraph, 4/15/20, 4/20/20, 4/27/20

Black, Asian and minority ethnic patients face a disproportionately high risk of death from coronavirus, new data showed as officials announced the lowest daily death toll for a fortnight. 

NHS England figures reveal that, of the 13,918 patients in hospital who tested positive for Covid-19 up to April 17, 16.2 per cent were of BAME background despite these communities making up only around 13 per cent of the total population. 

The statistics emerged three days after the Government ordered a review into why BAME patients appear to be disproportionately vulnerable to the virus.”… 

[“The first ten doctors to die from coronavirus were all from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds….The latest mortality figures showed more BAME health workers have died in recent days from suspected Covid-19, including a nurse and mother-of-five Josiane Zauma Ebonja Ekoli, aged 55, and.”…4/15/20, UK Telegraph ]

Like any democrat president, Jared Kushner is set on creating a national coronavirus surveillance system. With Jared in charge, Trump voters are getting the exact opposite of what they voted for-American Greatness, Gonzalez

4/24/20, “America Has a Jared Kushner Problem,American Greatness, Pedro Gonzalez


 “President Trump’s greatest weakness now is his inability to recognize that his son-in-law is the leader of a faction within the White House whose interests come at the expense of the very people who voted for him.” 

If President Donald Trump is serious about draining the swamp, he ought to start with his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. 

Kushner raised eyebrows when he strutted into the role of pandemic point man for the White House, alongside his former roommate and a handful of McKinsey and Company management consultants. As Chris Buskirk wrote in these pages, Team McKinsey has “a history of doing little more than helping failing institutions fail in style while growing rich in the process.” 

Project Airbridge, Kushner’s plan to take the reins of the Federal Emergency Management Agency supply-chain task force and partner with private companies to fly health care supplies to New York City from China, lived up to the McKinsey style. 

Never mind that the Chinese government, through state-run media, threatened to plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus” as we grappled with the pandemic. Kushner’s solution for a problem caused by China, and exacerbated by our manufacturing dependency on that country, was to turn to Beijing for “help.” Managed decline, brought to you by Kushner and McKinsey and Company. 

Kushner’s record in the public and private sector is long and mediocre.His immigration plan, shopped to GOP senators in a PowerPoint presentation, was dismissed as “laughably simplistic.” His plan for the Palestinian economy was lampooned by Michael J. Koplow of the Israel Policy Forum as “the Monty Python version of Israeli-Palestinian peace, where no contention is too absurd to be floated.” 

Nevertheless, the president looks on as Kushner performs the political equivalent of jamming square pegs in round holes, encouraging him to try and try again. 

Amid the sound and fury of the pandemic, most people didn’t notice that it was a health insurance company closely connected to KushnerOscar Health, that undertook development for a coronavirus website in partnership with the government. 

Kushner’s younger brother Joshua co-founded Oscar and is a major investor in the company, “and Jared Kushner partially owned or controlled Oscar before he joined the White House,” according to an exclusive report in the Atlantic. Though Oscar did the work free of charge before abruptly shutting down, it rightly raised the hackles of ethics lawyers. 

It’s not typical. It’s usually not allowed,” said Jessica Tillipman, an assistant dean at the George Washington University School of Law and an expert on anti-corruption law. “The concern, when you have some free services, is that it makes the government beholden to the company,Tillipman added. If something is free, it means the consumer is also the product. 

Kushner consistently has played down events, yet, according to Politico, he’s pining for the creation ofnational coronavirus surveillance system. The system is intended to give the government information about patients and treatment in real-time, aiming at Kushner’s goal of providing “informed, data-driven decisions.” 

It would, of course, come at the cost of privacy, harvesting a trove of data in a world where such a resource is lucrative, all while placing Kushner—a man who is “Beijing’s point of interest in the administrationat the center of it all.”…

So all this is on President Trump, isn’t it? If he cannot recognise when his election-campaign-period promises are being advanced and when they are being retarded; if he has for a priority aggrandising his daughter and son-in-law; then he is part of the Problem, not part of the Solution of

For media persons who recently interviewed California physicians Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, here are latest NY City Covid-19 data should you wish to be accurate in future interviews. For example, there are only 10 virus patients in NY City hospitals as of 4/26/20

NY City Government Health Dept. charts below with latest Covid-19 data will help media personnel should they wish to be more accurate and up to date about New York City and Covid-19 than they were in their recent interviews with California physicians Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. As charts below indicate, the big numbers are long gone, almost no one is in hospitals for Covid-19 now, as of April 26, there are only ten virus patients in hospitals in the entire City of New York. NY City is no different than anywhere else in that Covid-19 targeted mainly the elderly, age 75+ per chart below, with weak immune systems. For your reference, an April 15 CNN article below reports that CDC expanded the definition of deaths that may be “counted” as Covid-19 deaths: 

From New York City Government Health Dept. website, 4/27/20:
 

Above, as of April 26, a total of ten people are in NY City hospitals for virus
 

Above, on April 26 a total of 7 people died who were deemed Covid-19 related deaths though, per US gov. policy, it’s possible none of them were tested for Covid-19. Probable” Covid-19 involvement is sufficient to be "counted" as a Covid-19 death.


Above, on 4/25, 800 “cases” reported. A “case” may not be exhibiting symptoms, may never exhibit symptoms, the person is just reported to have Covid-19 in their system.


........
Above, NY City deaths by age, as of 4/27/20. Total deaths include non-tested persons who may be considered probables. 

………………………………….. 

Added: New CDC rules allow deaths not tested for Covid-19 to be “counted” as Covid-19 deaths: 

4/15/20, US coronavirus death totals compiled by CDC will now include ‘probable’ cases, CNN, Washington 

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] is now counting “probable” cases of coronavirus among its tabulations, according to the agency’s website. 

The inclusion of such cases will add thousands to the total number of patients and deaths by including people who didn’t have a positive test but showed signs of having the virus…. 

Previously, the CDC was only counting cases that had been confirmed by them or cases where the agency had yet to confirm a test done by a local or private entity…. 

New York City’s Health Department said Tuesday it is now reporting “probable” Covid-19 deaths of individuals who have not been tested for the coronavirus but are presumed to be positive. The 4,059 probable cases pushed the death toll in New York City to nearly 11,000 victims.”…
