In a recent article by Collective Evolution, Arjun Walia talked with Dr. Knut M. Wittkowski, a Senior Research Associate Rockefeller University, and discussed how social distancing may not be the most effective measure for flattening the curve. Dr. Wittkowski pointed out in a recent study that social distancing, isolation, and the closure of businesses and schools occurred after the peak in COVID-19 cases. This means, according to Wittkowski, that isolation did not actually have anHow to Eliminate IBS, IBD, Leaky Gut effect on the spread of the virus, and that the decline in cases should be credited to herd immunity rather than social distancing measures.

COVID-19 is not as dangerous as media and government is making it out to be, and therefore schools and businesses should be open so we can create herd immunity and kill this virus, while the elderly and immune-compromised individuals should be quarantined and practicing social distancing measures.”

While allowing schools and businesses to operate normally, society is able to build herd immunity. Through herd immunity, we can eliminate the virus and decrease the risk of infection for those who are elderly or immune-compromised. This is according to Wittowski’s data.

There is nothing to be scared about, this is a flu epidemic like every other flu, maybe a bit more severe, but nothing that is fundamentally different from the flus that we’ve seen in other years.”

A Look At Sweeden

From a YouTube video titled, Sweden – Is No Lockdown Working? there’s a comment worth reading.

Hello! Im a doctor in Sweden. I want to correct a few assumptions in this video that is erroneous. First of all, Sweden is working under one very simple presumption: Whether you like it or not, this virus will spread. Lockdowns are only useful if your healthcare service cannot cope with the influx, other than that you are simply just pushing the problem ahead of yourself. When you have a wide spread around the world, there is no point in a lockdown – even if you completely eliminate the virus from your country at some point you will have to reopen your borders. With that being said, the statistics in Sweden are skewed to have a higher mortality rate because we only test people who are admitted into the hospital or high risk patients. We dont test people with mild to medium symptoms.

In Sweden we have extended so that you can have up to 3 weeks of “sick leave” from work(WITHOUT A DOCTORS NOTE!) – and the money will be paid from the government. We have also made so that people can work only 20% of their time and still get 80% of their salary through subsidies from the government(to save small businesses). Alot of more have been done, and all this so that people who even have the mildest symptoms will voluntarily stay home. I think this is much better than holding a gun to someones head and forcing them to stay home. We have to also keep in mind other things:

1) In sweden, the public health ministry is calling the shot. They are a group of doctors, epidemiologists and statisticspeople. This is due to a law from hundreds of years ago that says that politicians cannot interfere with these ministries. Thus there is no political agendas to “look good” infront of the people. Denmark closed the primary schools AGAINST THE RECCOMENDATIONS of their public health ministry.

2) You have to keep in mind all of public health and not get tunnel vision entirely on the virus. Lockdowns skyrocket rate of suicides and domestic abuse. Depression, alcohol abuse, you name it.

3) Everybody who has a positive PCR test and die gets counted to the death toll. So for example: If someone gets posivite PCR test and then dies from a myocardial infarction it will still count as a COVID-19 death.

4) Just to finish this rant off: It is unfair to say that Sweden is doing an experiment. Technically speaking EVERY COUNTRY is doing an experiment right now, because this has never been done before so we dont know what is the “best way”.

Kind regards!
