Covid in Belarus
Among all industrialized countries, the Eastern European nation of Belarus introduced the softest anti-coronavirus measures and even continued its soccer league and military parades. Long-time president Lukashenko famously called the coronavirus a “Western psychosis”. Even coronavirus pragmatics like Sweden looked almost paranoid compared to Belarus.Many Western media were instead predicting or even hoping for a coronavirus catastrophe in Belarus, as Western geostrategists wanted to get rid of Lukashenko for quite some time. However, such a catastrophe did not materialize and most Western media outlets simply stopped reporting about coronavirus developments in Belarus somewhen back in May.Today, Belarus with a population of 9.5 million officially reports only 680 covid deaths. This figure is almost certainly too low (covid deaths may have been classified as “pneumonia deaths”), but given Western media silence, it cannot be much higher, either.How can this quite low death rate be explained? One possible answer is the rather young demographics of Belarus (median age of 39) and especially the uniquely low life expectancy of males (66 years) compared to females (78 years), mainly due to heavy drinking and smoking.This massive gender longevity gap means that the risk group most affected by covid – elderly males above 75 years – hardly exists in Belarus (see chart below), while elderly females are known to generally cope much better with covid (for reasons not yet fully understood).So in some dark sense, Lukashenko may indeed have been right when he proclaimed that “vodka and sauna” is the best protection against coronavirus.BO_popgraph2020Demographics in Belarus (CIA Factbook)

Der Corona-Medien-Navigator
Der SPR-Medien-Navigator ist eine der bekanntesten Medien-Klassifikationen im deutsch­sprachigen Raum. Der Medien-Navigator bezieht sich hauptsächlich auf geopolitische Themen und Konflikte, wie derzeit etwa der Konflikt in und um Weißrussland.Auch in der Corona-Krise hat sich der Navigator indes insgesamt gut bewährt. Geopolitisch konforme Medien berichteten auch zu Corona überwiegend staatskonform. Forscher der Universität Passau sprachen von einem unkritischen und undifferenzierten “Tunnelblick”.Zu den konform-unkritischen Medien zählen auch die Schweizer Republik, die deutsche taz und watson. Viele der konformen Medien agieren zudem stark propagandistisch und diffamierend, wie dies auch bei geopolitischen Themen seit Jahrzehnten zu beobachten ist.Geopolitisch (zu NATO und Israel) konform aber zu Corona nicht konform sind die konservativen deutschen Publikationen “Achse des Guten” und “Tichys Einblick” sowie die Schweizer Weltwoche. Diese konservativen Medien kritisierten etwa den ökonomischen Schaden und die Einschnitte in persönliche Freiheitsrechte durch die Corona-Politik.Geopolitisch nicht konform aber coronapolitisch konform war insbesondere das deutsche Telepolis (Heise), obschon man auch Gegendarstellungen brachte. Auch die sozialistischen Medien “Neues Deutschland” und “Junge Welt” agierten überwiegend konform. Einige andere Plattformen wie die Nachdenkseiten fokussierten primär auf soziale Aspekte der Krise.Kritisch und korrigierend berichteten in der Schweiz insbesondere der Infosperber, zu politischen Themen auch der Zeitpunkt bzw. Corona-Transition. Kritisch bis sehr kritisch berichteten überdies die deutschen Plattformen Multipolar, Rubikon und KenFM.Russische Medien spielten Proteste und Chaos im Westen hoch und die teilweise extreme Corona-Politik in Russland (insbesondere in Moskau) herunter. Wikipedia agierte einerseits als Corona-Datenbank, andererseits wie üblich als PR-Plattform für die pharmazeutische Industrie.Eine besondere Rolle spielen in der Corona-Krise zudem die sozialen Medien und Plattformen, die indes algorithmisch stark manipuliert sind, sowie Fachseiten wie das Aerzteblatt. Insgesamt führte die Corona-Krise zu einer starken Polarisierung in Medien und Gesellschaft.Mit Blick auf die zuletzt noch sehr tiefen Antikörperwerte im deutschsprachigen Raum (unter 2%, im Vergleich zu 20% in den globalen Hotspots) ist leider davon auszugehen, dass der schwierigste Teil der Corona-Pandemie hier im Herbst und Winter erst noch ansteht.Daraus dürfte sich ein weiterer Stresstest nicht nur für das Gesundheitssystem, sondern auch für das Mediensystem ergeben.Siehe auch: Der Medien-Navigator / Fakten zu Covid / Der Propaganda-Schlüssel

Covid September Update
SPR has published a short September update and updated the covid facts summary.Most Western countries report a covid IFR of about 0.3% in the general population (most recently Switzerland, Iceland and Indiana), essentially driven by the 70+ age group. This value can double or triple if nursing homes are included or if there is a local collapse of health care.The major issue for the general population, including young and healthy people, is going to be “long covid” and especially the risk of myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation). Covid’s impact on the heart actually appears to be somewhat milder compared to the major flu pandemics of the 20th century, but it is still serious and widespread enough to be of significant concern.Antibody values in much of previously locked-down Europe and in parts of the US are still very low (lower than 5%) and the risk of a renewed and real increase in infections and disease during autumn and winter is therefore high. Most Western countries pursue questionable face mask and contact tracing policies but still haven’t adopted early and prophylactic treatment.Update: English → / Deutsch →

Schweiz ohne Jahresübersterblichkeit
schweiz-todesfaelle-2010-2020_woche_35Schweiz: Kumulierte Übersterblichkeit, 2010-2020 (Stotz/BFS/BAG)In der Schweiz lag die kumulierte Jahresübersterblichkeit bis Woche 35 wieder nahe bei null und damit unter den meisten saisonalen Grippewellen der letzten zehn Jahre (siehe Grafik oben). Die Hauptgründe dafür sind der milde Winter, der milde Sommer, die frühen Maßnahmen und das sehr hohe Medianalter der Corona-Todesfälle (84 Jahre, ca. 50% in Pflegeheimen).Die Corona-Antikörperwerte lagen im Frühjahr in den Schweizer Hotspots Tessin und Genf bei circa 10% und in der Deutsch­schweiz bei sehr niedrigen 1.5%. In internationalen Hotspots betrug dieser Wert zuletzt circa 20%. Für die Schweiz ist deshalb ebenso wie für Deutschland und Österreich von einem potentiell sehr anspruchsvollen Herbst und Winter auszugehen.Die Covid-Letalität (IFR) lag in der Schweiz im Frühjahr in der Allgemein­bevölkerung (ohne Pflegeheime) bei circa 0.2% bis 0.3%, das Medianalter der circa 4600 Hospitalisierungen lag bei circa 70 Jahren, ca. 30% der hospitalisierten Personen waren unter 60 Jahre alt. Derzeit befinden sich schweizweit circa 30 Covid-Patienten in Intensivbehandlung.Schweizer Behörden verfolgen derzeit international wenig erfolgreiche Eindämmungs­strategien wie Maskenpflicht, Massentests und Contact Tracing (siehe Israel, Kalifornien, Argentinien, Peru, Frankreich, Spanien, etc.), während ein Früh­behand­lungs­konzept, mit dem die Hospi­tali­sierungs­rate um bis zu 80% gesenkt werden kann, weiterhin nicht vorliegt.Kritisch-seriöse Berichterstattung zur Corona-Situation in der Schweiz bieten insbesondere die Publikationen infosperber.ch und corona-transition.org. Andere Medien sind nur sehr bedingt oder punktuell empfehlenswert.Siehe auch: Corona-Repression in der Schweiz (Videos vom Mai 2020)

More on masks
Some updates on the lacking effectiveness of facemasks:The much-cited WHO meta-study on facemasks, which claimed an 80% risk reduction and was instrumental in the global facemask policy shift, has turned out to be seriously flawed and “essentially useless”. The WHO meta-study fooled health authorities, “experts” and the media around the world. Read more about this latest health policy fiasco.In the US state of Kansas, the 90 counties without mask mandates had lower coronavirus infection rates than the 15 counties with mask mandates. To hide this fact, the Kansas health department tried to manipulate the official statistics and data presentation.Austrian professor Franz Allerberger found that the introduction, removal and re-introduction of mandatory facemasks in Austria had no influence at all on the coronavirus infection rate.Given the rather clear evidence against the effectiveness of facemasks in the general population, health authorities should no longer assume or suggest that facemasks will reduce the rate or risk of infection.Read more: WHO mask study seriously flawed and Face Masks – The Evidence

Covid Winter Outlook
As predicted by SPR months ago based on antibody data, covid infections, hospitalizations and deaths are now increasing again in many European countries. Antibody values are still very low (<5%) in much of Europe and also in large parts of the US. In global hotspots like New York City, IgG antibody values peaked at about 25%, indicating a population exposure above 50%.Israel has already imposed a second lockdown, Spain has again 25% of its ICU capacity occupied by covid patients, in France covid hospitalizations are increasing rapidly, and in Switzerland contact tracing is already reaching its limits, even though winter season hasn’t even begun. Needless to say, all of these countries have strict (but ineffective) facemask mandates.Overall, a 1918-like pandemic pattern with a mild spring wave and a much stronger autumn/winter wave appears quite likely. On the plus side, covid death rates are now lower than in spring as medical strategies have improved and some of the worst mistakes are avoided.The single biggest mistake still made by many Western health authorities is ignoring zinc-based early and prophylactic treatment, as recently described by Professor Thomas Borody (“patients turning around within hours”), Dr. Brian Tyson (“every single patient has recovered”), Professor Christian Perronne (“20,000 preventable deaths in France alone”), and many others.Many traditional media have lost their credibility by vastly exaggerating the risk of covid to the general population, but some of the critics have also lost touch with reality by falsely claiming the pandemic was over (based on PCR data) or by downplaying “long covid” health issues.SPR will continue to provide unbiased covid facts and keep an eye on political and geopolitical pandemic-related developments.See also: Why covid is a “strange pandemic” and Facts about Covid-19

Covid in Australia and New Zealand
Australia and New Zealand are among the last Western countries that follow a virus eradication strategy. Both have failed to fully suppress community transmission – Auckland went into full lockdown for a second time in August – but both have managed to keep covid deaths very low.In fact, Australian covid deaths (850) are still lower than seasonal flu deaths (up to 4000) and suicides (up to 3000), and about 70% of covid deaths occurred in nursing homes, as a group of Melbourne doctors explain in a recent open letter to Victorian Premier Dan Andrews.The state of Victoria, in particular, has imposed very harsh lockdown measures, including a 23-hour home detention (1 hour exercise), 8pm curfew, 3 mile radius without papers, no weddings and funerals, most businesses closed, drone and helicopter surveillance, mandatory masks indoors and outdoors, and road checkpoints and house searches without warrant.The extreme covid lockdown has led to widespread mental health issues, record unemployment levels, and Australia’s worst economic recession on record.The Down Under approach to covid clearly is the polar opposite of the Swedish approach. It is true that Australia and New Zealand are high-risk populations with regards to covid due to their high rate of obesity and metabolic disease (comparable to the US). Nevertheless, any democratic society must ask itself if this is the way they want to handle such a situation.What is more, Australia and New Zealand have no real exit strategy other than mass vaccination with experimental vaccines and/or permanent quarantining of incoming travellers. Countries that successfully closed their borders early, such as Taiwan, Japan and Norway, will face a similar question, because unlike SARS-1, the SARS-2 virus will not go away.The following videos show disturbing scenes of covid-related police violence against citizens, including children and pregnant women, mostly in Melbourne and Victoria: woman 1, woman 2, woman in car, mother/child, child at home, pregnant mother, two elderly women, house search / door smashed, man 1, young man 2, man 3, beach arrest, military patrols, drone surveillance.

· Covid in Belarus and Russia (Update)
belarus-mortality-1980Mortality in Belarus, 1980 to June 2020 (ZF/UN)Belarus all-cause mortality data has finally become available (via a United Nations database), see the chart above. The data up until June (the infection peak in Belarus) shows that the Belarusian government may have downplayed covid deaths by about a factor of three, but all-cause mortality nevertheless is comparable to previous strong seasonal flu waves.This may explain why Western media, though promoting regime change in Belarus and anticipating a ‘covid catastrophe’, suddenly stopped reporting on covid in Belarus in early summer.Belarus is an important reference point because it has been the country with the most liberal covid policy in Europe. However, as previously explained, the low covid death rate may also be due to the very low life expectancy of Belarusian men (66 years, mostly due to heavy smoking and drinking), compared to a median age of covid deaths of 80+ years in the West.In Russia, all-cause excess mortality between May and July also turned out to be a factor of 3.6 higher than the official covid death figure (60,000 vs. 16,000). This is because Russian health authorities used a very narrow definition of ‘covid death’. Some Russian cities, especially Moscow, had implemented very strict “total control” covid lockdown and tracing measures.

· Antikörperwerte Schweiz (Update)
schweiz-antikoerper-immunitasAntikörperwerte in der Schweiz (Corona Immunitas)Das Schweizer Forschungsprojekt “Corona Immunitas” hat seine neuesten Zahlen zu den Antikörperwerten in der Schweiz präsentiert (siehe Grafik oben). Bis im Sommer hatten in der Region Zürich 3%, in der Region Basel 4%, in der Region Waadt 7%, in der Region Freiburg 8%, und in den Regionen Genf und Tessin 11% Antikörper (IgG) gegen das neue Coronavirus.Die wirkliche Verbreitung des neuen Coronavirus dürfte jeweils etwas höher liegen, da Personen mit milden oder keinen Symptomen oftmals kaum oder nur vorübergehend IgG-Antikörper ausbilden müssen. Internationale Hotspots wie New York City und Bergamo erreichten im Frühjahr ca. 25% Antikörper, einige Regionen in Brasilien erreichten zuletzt 40% bis 60%.Die Letalität des neuen Coronavirus liegt in der Schweizer Allgemeinbevölkerung bei insgesamt circa 0.3%. Für Personen mit hohem Risiko oder hoher Exposition ist eine frühzeitige oder prophylaktische Behandlung entscheidend, um eine Progression der Erkrankung zu vermeiden.Aus der Präsentation von “Corona Immunitas” geht hervor, dass im Falle einer kontrollierten Entwicklung bis Frühjahr 2021 mit einem schweizweiten Antikörperwert von gut 15% gerechnet wird. Dies entspricht etwa dem Wert, den Städte wie London, Madrid oder Stockholm im Frühjahr 2020 erreichten.In Deutschland lag der Antikörperwert im Frühsommer bei circa 2%, in einzelnen lokalen Hotspots wie Gangelt, Kupferzell und Neustadt am Rhein bei circa 10%.Siehe auch: Fakten zu Covid-19

· More early covid treatment successes
In recent weeks, several more early covid treatment successes based on zinc, vitamin D and HCQ have been reported:Zinc: A Spanish study presented at the ECCVID conference found that a low plasma zinc level (below 50 mcg/dl) increased the risk of in-hospital covid death by 230%.Vitamin D: A Spanish RCT found that high-dose vitamin D reduced the risk of requiring intensive care by 96%.HCQ: A Dutch study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases found a 53% risk reduction in terms of ICU admission and ventilation of covid patients.HCQ: A US meta-study (preprint) found a 24% risk reduction in covid early treatment.HCQ: A Spanish meta-study (preprint) found a 20% risk reduction in covid prophylaxis.HCQ: A study by the European Heart Rhythm Association found that HCQ is safe for covid patients in every clinical setting (confirming earlier results in malaria and AID treatment).Read more: On the treatment of covid-19The following diagram shows that among high-powered HCQ trials, only the WHO Recovery UK trial – which used lethal overdoses in patients with late-stage covid – found negative results.hcq-trialsWHO Recovery HCQ trial anomaly (CC19C)

· “Second wave” age composition
zuerich-tests-altersgruppenPositive PCR tests per age group per week in Zurich (NZZ)The above chart shows positive PCR tests per age group per week in the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland. The picture is similar in most of Europe: the increase in positive test results since late summer is mostly due to people of school and working age (20 to 40 and 40 to 60), not senior citizens and the elderly. Therefore, hospitalizations and deaths have remained low.Moreover, according to antibody data, the first infection wave was at least ten times bigger than shown in the above PCR test diagram. To understand the full magnitude of this discrepancy between virus speed and testing capacity at the global scale, consider this impressive chart by the Economist.However, the actual coronavirus season in the Northern hemisphere only really begins in December (lasting until May); thus, given still low antibody values (<10%) in much of Europe (and the US), the actual challenge may still lie ahead (unless you’re Japanese).People of working age catching covid rarely need to go to hospital or the ICU, but they can never­the­less develop pneumonia (even if their case remains “mild”) and experience post-acute covid.In Switzerland, symptomatic army recruits still had an up to 20% decrease in maximum lung performance 1 to 2 months after infection; in Sweden, a survey estimates that 100,000 to 150,000 people currently experience post-acute covid for more than 10 weeks (showing post-viral fatigue, chest pain or other symptoms). Then again, many have already improved or recovered.Thus the new coronavirus, due to its unique genetic structure (FCS-enhanced ACE2 receptor binding domain), remains a non-trivial, but increasingly manageable bug, especially considering recent progress in early and prophylactic treatment options.
