They deliver their recommendations based on the actual data from Kern County where they are working. Recorded April 22, 2020

The more you test the more positives you get. The prevalence goes up but the death rate stays the same. Millions of cases, small amount of death in every state. Follow the statistics and follow the science.

Secondary effects of COVID 19:
Child molestation increasing at a severe rate, due to angry, intoxicated adults at home.
From talking to ERs, doctors across the country-
Spousal abuse increase, black eyes and cuts on face.
Alcoholism, anxiety, depression, suicide spiking, education dropped off, economic collapse, medical industry struggling.
Seeing the effects in his clinics, from Fresno to San Diego.
These are things that will affect people for life.
Compare COVID to flu virus
24,000-62,000 deaths each year
45 million cases,
62,000 deaths in 2017
0.13% chance of death
Lethality of COVID is much less.
Follow the science
Data is generated by CDC and WHO
Basics of how immune system functions:
Develops by exposure to antigens,
Viruses and bacteria enter mouth, form an antibody, antigen complex.
When you take daily exposure away,
Immune system drops.
As you shelter in place,
Sanitizing and washing everything and worrying,
Immune system drops.
You need interaction to have a normal, functioning immune system.
People are worrying too much because of media telling them to.
Sheltering in place decreases your immune system.
When people finally emerge, and trade viruses and bacteria, diseases will spike.
Combine with a hospital system with furloughed doctors and nurses= poor outcome.
Interrupted by stupid reporters struggling with their cognitive dissonance
Clutching pearls- “Are you sayin Fauci was wrong?!!!”
“Dr Fauci hasn’t seen a patient in 20 years. He’s in an ivory tower.”
COVID lives on plastic for 3 days, it’s on the plastic water bottles from Costco and plastic shovel from Home Depot. You think you’re protected but you’re not. Lack of consistency. Wearing gloves and mask but still touching everything doesn’t help.
Doctors across the country being pressured by hospital administration to add COVID to death reports.
We need to treat this like the flu.
It will eventually mutate into something less virulent.
If you’re healthy you should be able to go out without a mask or gloves.
Does this necessitate sheltering in place, shutting down medical systems, people being out of work?
“When you stomp on our freedoms, that has one ending- violence.”
