China claims Donald Trump has 'paid the price' for his COVID-19 'gamble' after the President and Melania both tested positive

The editor of an influential Chinese state-run newspaper has mocked Donald Trump after the US President and first lady Melania Trump both tested positive for the coronavirus.

DEFCON levels - moving up?
The defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert state used by the United States Armed Forces.
What these numbers mean, please?
 
Trump now has an opportunity to do a Boris Johnson in reverse.

Bojo going to hospital was a turning point for many to take the virus more seriously.

If Trump, at 74, fights it off with zero complications, this could be a nice hit to the corona BS narrative.

DEFCON levels

From wiki:
The defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert state used by the United States Armed Forces.[1]

The DEFCON system was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and unified and specified combatant commands.[2] It prescribes five graduated levels of readiness (or states of alert) for the U.S. military. It increases in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations.[1]

DEFCONs are a subsystem of a series of Alert Conditions, or LERTCONs, which also include Emergency Conditions (EMERGCONs).[3]
Another use is for military exercises - to differentiate from Operations:

Levels​

Defense readiness conditions vary between many commands and have changed over time,[2] and the United States Department of Defense uses exercise terms when referring to the DEFCON levels during exercises.[5] This is to preclude the possibility of confusing exercise commands with actual operational commands.[5] On January 12, 1966, NORAD "proposed the adoption of the readiness conditions of the JCS system", and information about the levels was declassified in 2006:[6]

Readiness conditionExercise termDescriptionReadiness
DEFCON 1COCKED PISTOLNuclear war is imminent or has already startedMaximum readiness. Immediate response.

A lot of people learned of DEFCON levels via movies. A clip from popular movie War Games:

If Trump ever gets shuttled to Cheyenne Mountain, it won't be good.
 
Josh Sigurdson reports on the countless anti-lockdown protests around the world getting very little news coverage despite bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the streets.
From clashes in Spain to clashes in London. To massive movements in Berlin to massive movements in Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg Canada. There's clearly a shift happening towards the pro-freedom movement despite the dire, quickly approaching brick wall that governments globally have launched humanity towards.
As millions face homelessness in the United States alone, with millions of businesses going under while giant monopolies are propped up by the state, people are angry and it's about time the majority of reporters out there understand why. It's time free humanity is taken seriously after 9 months of tragedy.

It is reported that POTUS has had fever all day Friday, that he's fatigued (which can also be seen on his Twitter video in the CNN link below) and will remain in Walter Reed hospital "for the next few days", but what caught my attention is the 'experimental treatment' he's been administered:

Taking Regeneron antibody cocktail​

Trump has had a fever since Friday morning, a person familiar with the matter said, though an official said the fever remains consistent with the White House's description of "mild symptoms."
Earlier in the afternoon, Trump's physician wrote in a memo he "remains fatigued but in good spirits."
"He's being evaluated by a team of experts, and together we'll be making recommendations to the President and First Lady in regards to next best steps," Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley wrote.
He said Trump had been administered a Regeneron polyclonal antibody cocktail and has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.
The decision to give Trump an experimental monoclonal antibody cocktail illustrates how concerned the White House may be about his Covid-19 diagnosis, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, CNN medical analyst and professor at George Washington University, told CNN on Friday.
"The big news there is that he got an experimental drug. He got a drug not approved by the FDA," said Reiner, who has treated former Vice President Dick Cheney.

A potential success of this drug cocktail in Trump's case, could reflect significantly on the 'value' of Regeneron, which only 3 days ago released a public info about this 'cocktail':

Another WAM - 27 min. - skimmed content - appears worthy:

Josh Sigurdson talks with Tim Picciott, The Liberty Advisor about the massive propaganda campaign deployed on Earth by a government attempting to prop themselves up as the new global powerhouse. While it is clear that the US government alongside many global governments worked hand in hand with China to prop the technocratic country up over the decades, as one report recently exposes, the shutdown of Earth came from a Chinese propaganda campaign based on lies. As the report points out, at the beginning of this madness, the Chinese media was sharing videos and images of people falling to the ground. Dramatic scenes of unhealth that scared the world. Then as soon as the world took the “advice” of China and locked down, China opened with massive economic benefits while the rest of the world collapsed into the dark ages. This video explores this very strange “coincidence” and how the world had bought in and aided a massive lie creating a new world superpower based on a cashless society and technocracy.

Flashback 2016: Face Masks Didn’t Work Then, Either​

Originally published on the Oral Health website, it vanished in June 2020 and was replaced with the statement, “…it has been removed. The content was published in 2016 and is no longer relevant in our current climate.” Who would have the clout, time and money to scour the Internet to force removal of anti-face mask research papers? This is “book burning” at its worst. ⁃ TN Editor

Why Face Masks Don’t Work: A Revealing Review
John Hardie, PhD, Oral Health Group​

“Yesterday’s Scientific Dogma is Today’s Discarded Fable”

Introduction

The above quotation is ascribed to Justice Archie Campbell author of Canada’s SARS Commission Final Report. 1 It is a stark reminder that scientific knowledge is constantly changing as new discoveries contradict established beliefs. For at least three decades a face mask has been deemed an essential component of the personal protective equipment worn by dental personnel. A current article, “Face Mask Performance: Are You Protected” gives the impression that masks are capable of providing an acceptable level of protection from airborne pathogens. 2 Studies of recent diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and the Ebola Crisis combined with those of seasonal influenza and drug resistant tuberculosis have promoted a better understanding of how respiratory diseases are transmitted. Concurrently, with this appreciation, there have been a number of clinical investigations into the efficacy of protective devices such as face masks. This article will describe how the findings of such studies lead to a rethinking of the benefits of wearing a mask during the practice of dentistry. It will begin by describing new concepts relating to infection control especially personal protective equipment (PPE).

Trends in Infection Control

For the past three decades there has been minimal opposition to what have become seemingly established and accepted infection control recommendations. In 2009, infection control specialist Dr. D. Diekema questioned the validity of these by asking what actual, front-line hospital-based infection control experiences were available to such authoritative organization as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). 3 In the same year, while commenting on guidelines for face masks, Dr. M. Rupp of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America noted that some of the practices relating to infection control that have been in place for decades, ”haven’t been subjected to the same strenuous investigation that, for instance, a new medicine might be subjected.” 4 He opined that perhaps it is the relative cheapness and apparent safety of face masks that has prevented them from undergoing the extensive studies that should be required for any quality improvement device. 4 More recently, Dr. R. MacIntyre, a prolific investigator of face masks, has forcefully stated that the historical reliance on theoretical assumptions for recommending PPEs should be replaced by rigorously acquired clinical data. 5 She noted that most studies on face masks have been based on laboratory simulated tests which quite simply have limited clinical applicability as they cannot account for such human factors as compliance, coughing and talking. 5

Covering the nose and mouth for infection control started in the early 1900s when the German physician Carl Flugge discovered that exhaled droplets could transmit tuberculosis. 4 The science regarding the aerosol transmission of infectious diseases has, for years, been based on what is now appreciated to be “very outmoded research and an overly simplistic interpretation of the data.” 6 Modern studies are employing sensitive instruments and interpretative techniques to better understand the size and distribution of potentially infectious aerosol particles. 6 Such knowledge is paramount to appreciating the limitations of face masks. Nevertheless, it is the historical understanding of droplet and airborne transmission that has driven the longstanding and continuing tradition of mask wearing among health professionals. In 2014, the nursing profession was implored to “stop using practice interventions that are based on tradition” but instead adopt protocols that are based on critical evaluations of the available evidence. 7

A December 2015 article in the National Post seems to ascribe to Dr. Gardam, Director of Infection Prevention and Control, Toronto University Health Network the quote, “I need to choose which stupid, arbitrary infection control rules I’m going to push.” 8 In a communication with the author, Dr. Gardam explained that this was not a personal belief but that it did reflect the views of some infection control practitioners. In her 2014 article, “Germs and the Pseudoscience of Quality Improvement”, Dr. K Sibert, an anaesthetist with an interest in infection control, is of the opinion that many infection control rules are indeed arbitrary, not justified by the available evidence or subjected to controlled follow-up studies, but are devised, often under pressure, to give the appearance of doing something. 9

The above illustrate the developing concerns that many infection control measures have been adopted with minimal supporting evidence. To address this fault, the authors of a 2007 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) article eloquently argue that all safety and quality improvement recommendations must be subjected to the same rigorous testing as would any new clinical intervention. 10 Dr. R. MacIntyre, a proponent of this trend in infection control, has used her research findings to boldly state that, “it would not seem justifiable to ask healthcare workers to wear surgical masks.” 4 To understand this conclusion it is necessary to appreciate the current concepts relating to airborne transmissions.

Another possibility concerning Trumps diagnosis. A few months ago, he talked about very rich and powerful people who where very angry with him and because of that we may not see him for awhile. Maybe it’s the time to be gone. I can’t see him taking anything but HQ if he has it so I question the experimental drug idea.
 
Anyone else got this feeling of impending doom? Could the October surprise be just around the corner?

This is the energy the PTB are generating to suck us under. Don’t let them control you, keep your frequency positive and step back. I do feel the energy is picking up momentum and we’re going to hit a peak soon. But I’m in the US so maybe its where I live.
