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

· Aspirin for covid early treatment
Note: Patients are asked to consult a doctor.The SPR collaboration has added aspirin to its covid early treatment protocol. New studies have confirmed a strong antiplatelet and anticoagulant effect of aspirin in covid patients (i.e. reducing platelet hyper-reactivity, see figure below), which may help prevent major covid complications such as thrombosis, lung embolism and strokes in high-risk patients.As an additional effect, intermediate-dose aspirin may also reduce or suppress the signature covid dry cough. This is because the covid dry cough appears to be an ACEI-induced cough mediated by prostaglandins, and aspirin is well known to inhibit prostaglandins and suppress ACEI cough.The SPR collaboration is once more strongly recommending to health authorities to implement large-scale early or prophylactic treatment protocols for high-risk covid patients in order to prevent disease progression and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and complications.See also: On the treatment of covid-19 and EVMS Covid-19 Management ProtocolEffect of aspirin on platelet hyper-reactivity and aggregation in covid patients:aspirin-platelets-covidLeft: platelet hyperreactivity and aggregation in healthy donors (HD, red) and untreated covid patients (green); right: platelet aggregation in healthy donors and in covid patient blood treated with aspirin (Manne et al, supplement 4)

<a href="https://swprs.org/the-importance-of-covid-prophylaxis/">Choose language / Sprache wählen</a>Even though the actual coronavirus season (<a href="https://swprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/respiratory-viruses-seasonal.png">December to April</a>) is still more than a month away, the situation is already heating up in many European regions. As predicted by SPR and other experts, contact tracing is quickly reaching its limits and face masks are <a href="https://swprs.org/face-masks-evidence/">not limiting</a> infections.(Indeed, a recent US CDC study <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6936a5-H.pdf#page=4">confirmed that</a> 85% of infected people reported wearing a face mask “always” (70.6%) or “often” (14.4%). Compared to the control group of uninfected people, always wearing a mask did not reduce the risk of infection.)It is therefore important to offer focused protection to high-risk groups – as recently proposed by the <a href="https://gbdeclaration.org/">Great Barrington Declaration</a>, signed by leading epidemiologists but nevertheless <a href="https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/10/12/why-has-google-censored-the-great-barrington-declaration/">temporarily delisted</a> by Google – and to implement early and prophylactic <a href="https://swprs.org/on-the-treatment-of-covid-19/">treatment protocols</a>.Covid prophylaxis is particularly important for people at high risk living in epidemically active regions. This is because of the long incubation period of covid-19 (up to 14 days): when people first notice that they contracted the disease, the viral load is already <a href="https://swprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/covid-stages.png">at a maximum</a> and there are often only a few days left to react with an early treatment intervention.Covid prophylaxis, which must always be discussed with a doctor, <a href="https://swprs.org/on-the-treatment-of-covid-19/">may include</a> zinc, vitamins D and C, quercetin, bromhexine, and possibly aspirin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). HCQ was recently <a href="https://www.escardio.org/The-ESC/Press-Office/Press-releases/Study-shows-cardiac-safety-of-hydroxychloroquine-in-COVID-19-patients">confirmed to be safe</a> for covid patients by the European Society of Cardiology and has important anti-viral, anti-platelet, anti-thrombotic and immunomodulatory <a href="https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.1055/s-0040-1713152">effects</a>.Most Western health authorities continue to ignore both the focused protection of high-risk groups and the early and prophylactic treatment of high-risk patients.

· Corona-Situation Schweiz
(German only)Die Schweiz hat dieser Tage die USA und Brasilien in Bezug auf tägliche Neuinfektionen (positive PCR-Tests) pro 100,000 Einwohner überholt. Die Situation in den Kliniken in der Zentral- und Westschweiz wird zunehmend kritisch (siehe Video der Klinik Schwyz).Ein Tamedia-Journalist schreibt dazu auf Twitter: “Keine Frage, es wird zu einem 2. Lockdown kommen. Verantwortlich dafür sind ausgerechnet jene, die ihn am meisten verachten: Corona-Skeptiker, Masken-Leugner, Sorglose, Corona-Wunschdenker, abgetauchter BR, passive Kantonsregierungen, scharf beobachtendes BAG.”Tatsächlich ist es gerade andersherum: Verantwortlich für die derzeitige Entwicklung sind jene “Wunschdenker” und “Leugner”, die auf Basis von Fake-Studien glaubten, man könnte eine Pandemie mit Stoffmasken und “Contact Tracing” in den Griff bekommen und die auf Basis von weiteren Fake-Studien Prophylaxe und Frühbehandlung sowie den konsequenten Schutz der Risikogruppen ignorierten oder sogar aktiv bekämpften.Doch Panik und Propaganda machen noch kein erfolgreiches Pandemie-Management.

· Remdesivir: An Epidemic Failure
Choose language / Sprache wählen
SPR and other independent experts warned early on that the very expensive “anti-viral” drug remdesivir, produced by Gilead and hyped by the media, is a fraud failure. Dr. Paul Marik, author of the EVMS Covid-19 Critical Care Protocol, called remdesivir a “particularly useless drug” and Gilead’s aggressive PR campaign “Wallstreet-centered, not patient-centered”.The just published results of the global WHO Covid Solidarity trial now confirm that remdesivir reduced neither hospital stay nor mortality. But remdesivir is not just a “useless drug”, it may in fact be a dangerous one, as its liver and kidney toxicity in covid patients has been widely documented and is currently being investigated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).Investigative journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva recently revealed how Gilead paid more than $200 million to US doctors and hospitals to promote its drugs despite several hundred drug-related deaths (this is referring to Gilead’s hepatitis C drug, in particular).Moreover, several of the fraudulent anti-HCQ studies were published by researchers linked to or paid by remdesivir producer Gilead. The WHO trial itself used toxic overdoses of HCQ, as first revealed by US doctor and biohazard expert Meryl Nass in June.Based on current scientific and clinical evidence, it is best to treat high-risk covid patients as early as possible to avoid progression of the disease and hospitalization. For more information, see the recent video presentation on ambulatory treatment of covid by Dr. Peter McCullough.
