1. A tiny example of how irritating it is to live in Trudeau’s Canada. For a full picture, imagine this same video but 50% unnecessarily in French. Which is more typical

3. Professor Didier Raoult Releases the Results of a New Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Study on 1061 Patients

The new study, of which the abstract was released today, was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France. A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated.

 

Key findings are:

• No cardiac toxicity was observed. 

• A good clinical outcome and virological cure was obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%). 

A poor outcome was observed for 46 patients (4.3%); 10 were transferred to intensive care units, 5 patients died (0.47%) (74-95 years old) and 31 required 10 days of hospitalization or more.

 

The authors conclude that:

 

“The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.”

4. Sweden faces stricter quarantine as PM admits measures were ‘not good enough’ – while Austria is set to begin easing lockdown and Denmark gets ready to reopen schools

Sweden is considering imposing tighter restrictions on citizens after being one of the few European countries to not enforce a full lockdown.

 

Stefan Lofven, Sweden’s prime minister, said today that after taking a ‘flexible’ approach to restricting movements within its borders, the country’s coronavirus measures were ‘not good enough’.

 

Lofven has faced criticism over Sweden’s decision to not close bars, cafes and restaurants and merely advise residents to follow social distancing guidelines. 

Sweden has also been slammed for not preparing for the pandemic by stockpiling emergency drugs and ventilators.

6. Dr. Norman Bethune: China’s Hero, Canada’s Traitor

Virtually unknown in Canada, and certainly unheralded, Dr. Norman Bethune was magnified and glorified by Mao and Chinese communists who declared him a national hero. Bethune was not in China to help humanity. It was not sick people he tended, but wounded communist soldiers. So Canadians became conditioned to the idea that by publicly revering Bethune, it gave them an advantage with the Chinese. The irony is that were Bethune alive, he’d be outraged and horrified at how he is manipulated.

[…]

The Chinese donated a statue to Bethune in Montreal (where he lived for eight years), and China itself is loaded with statues to him, ever since Mao Zedong wrote a tribute to him, and designated him as an official hero of Communism. As in his life, controversy clings to Bethune in death.

(I wonder what would happen if freedom loving people decided to pull down the statue to Bethune the way leftists are pulling down statues to anyone they don’t like based on often fictional narratives of their lives and deeds. Of course that’s an oxymoron. Freedom loving people don’t do that. But maybe putting signs or our own messages next to it, that might be a good idea.)

7. UK independent journalist threatened with arrest for reporting on muslims breaking social distancing rules

(So to be perfectly clear, rules on no gatherings are strictly for white non-muslims in the UK. Respect and trust in the state and law enforcement is transforming into contempt and fear. And reasonably so.)

Thank you Pym Purnell, M., Wrath of Khan, X., Y., and C., Richard, Johnny U., PC., Malca and many more thoughtful people who have been informing us all, this Easter weekend, as opposed to informing on us all, which increasingly is becoming the norm in our newly minted dystopia.
