Rather than use the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 test, the U.S., under the direction of the CDC and FDA, decided to create its own.
The U.S. test was flawed, and while the CDC manufactured new tests, labs had to send samples to the CDC for testing, which led to delays of up to 48 hours.
Initially, the CDC only recommended testing people with symptoms and a history of travel to China or contact with a coronavirus (lab-confirmed) patient, which allowed cases spreading in the community to go undetected.
Read moreBill Gates’ answers to the problems of the world are consistently focused on building corporate profits through toxic means, be it chemical agriculture and GMOs, or pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines.
Gates has used “charity” as a way to gain tremendous political power. The true beneficiaries of Gates' philanthropic endeavors tend to be those who are already rich beyond comprehension, including Gates’ own charitable foundation.
Over the past 20 years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has given close to $250 million in charitable grants to companies in which the foundation

Zinc is one nutrient that plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections, and may play a vastly underrated role in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Zinc is vital for healthy immune function and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore (zinc transport molecule) was in 2010 shown to block viral replication of SARS coronavirus in cell culture within minutes.
Read moreInitial predictions called for 2.2 million COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. alone. According to the latest models, an estimated 60,000 Americans may die from COVID-19 complications.
Some doctors are promoting the use of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin for seriously ill COVID-19 patients. Apparently, many are seeing good results, although not universally. Some Swedish hospitals have stopped using chloroquine due to severe side effects in some patients.
Northwell Health, New York's largest health care provider, is using vitamin C at its hospitals in
Read moreThe COVID-19 pandemic is raising many questions, with implications that are compounded for those who are pregnant. Talk with your doctor about telemedicine options and prepare for office visits after 24 weeks’ gestation.
Strategies to prevent infection include frequent hand-washing for at least 20 seconds, practicing social distancing and wearing a mask in public. Your immune system is your primary defense against infections; seek to maintain optimal levels of vitamin D, eat foods high in vitamin C and eat nutrient-dense, whole foods.
Read moreAccording to systems biologist Shiva Ayyadurai, Ph.D., the COVID-19 pandemic is being used to shift global wealth. Systems biology deciphers the synergies within living systems to understand how to diagnose, assess and identify the underlying problem, and how to administer the most appropriate remedy.
The economic collapse is a result of precisely engineered governmental policies, even though those policies, superficially, appear to be in the public’s best interest.
Read moreThe Secure 5G and Beyond Act (S. 893) and the Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability Act (S. 1822) were signed into law in March 2020. The duo will accelerate the adoption of 5G, or “5th Generation,” wireless networks across the U.S. — and in so doing, force Americans to receive unprecedented levels of exposure to the millimeter wave (MMW).
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing unprecedented numbers of Americans to work and communicate digitally, accelerating the push for widespread 5G networks.
Read moreThe White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is assembling a task force of tech and artificial intelligence companies to develop text and data-mining techniques to spy on citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The task force of 60 companies, including Facebook, Google, Twitter, Uber, Apple, IBM, Microsoft and Amazon, will seek to predict COVID-19 outbreaks and the effectiveness of social distancing based on the communications between individuals.
Read moreA biotech company called Distributed Bio claims to have developed an antibody therapy against COVID-19. The drug will be tested for efficacy by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
Two older drugs now being used against COVID-19 are the malaria medications chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. The U.S. FDA is allowing chloroquine to be used off-label against COVID-19.
A small but positive study in France showed COVID-19 patients treated with chloroquine experienced rapid recovery. It also reduced the time they were contagious.
Read moreBritish American Tobacco (BAT) has joined the race to develop a vaccine for COVID-19, with plans to potentially manufacture 1 million to 3 million doses of vaccine per week.
The proprietary technology involves temporarily encoding tobacco plants with genetic instructions to produce specific target proteins.
