Chinese Virus (a.k.a. The Kung Flu) statistics for week number 47 (329 days) as at July 9th. 2021 (plus political comment and our personal news) since 21/08/20. Greetings from Medellin, Colombia.

Hola a todos nuestros amigos y familiares,

Esperamos como siempre que todo el mundo este en rosa - 

CHINESE VIRUS STATISTICS and related comment. Note that comparative figures in parenthesis relate to July 2nd. We have also reduced the number of countries we collect statistics for to those that we are closely interested in or that we know certain other people have an interest in. So, instead of the 24 countries that we have reported on in the past, there will now be 18 including the World figures.

A French Nobel Laureate winning virologist, Luc Montaigney, has stated that the COVID "vaccinations" are an "unacceptable mistake" because they are actually creating the variants which are now causing so much concern. This should have been obvious to anyone with half a brain because when viruses are threatened, they will look for ways to defend themselves and will therefore mutate. The extreme risk is that, while some of these mutations may be relatively harmless, others may in fact turn out deadlier than the original virus and in addition may be resistant to any current "vaccines". 

This is another reason why the COVID "vaccines" SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED WITH A BARGE-POLE. We despair of people though, because it seems fairly obvious, certainly among many of the people we know, that they are taking these "vaccines" out of FEAR, STRAIGHT OUT COERCION, AND A SHAMING CAMPAIGN - "YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR CIVIC DUTY", and probably most concerningly, a complete lack of, or only cursory attention to probably the greatest threat to human health that we will face in our lifetimes. These "vaccines" are still only experimental, do not have approval from the USFDA, and have known serious side-effects. The timing of these side-effects, possibly some years down the track, is absolutely unknown because there have been NO trials undertaken over longer time periods. 

The latest is the Johnson & Johnson "vaccine" which has now started to produce a number of Guillain-Barre Syndrome cases. This GBS is a neurological disease that causes minor symptoms at first, but can progress to complete paralysis - and apparently it is not necessarily exclusive to J & J. 

There are other effective ways of dealing with the Chinese Virus and these have been canvassed here exhaustively. And the added bonus is that after exposure to the Ch. Virus, you are likely to develop an immunity far superior to anything that a "vaccine" may confer. "Vaccines" actually destroy natural immunity and leave you vulnerable to a wide range of potential diseases in the future.   

And latest death figures directly attributed to these "vaccines" - up to mid June there have been over 5,000 deaths in the US. Surely, even if there is doubt in some cases, these figures are unacceptable and by themselves should be full justification for immediate cessation of any further Chinese Virus "vaccine" administration until it is proved beyond doubt to be safe. But political and financial imperatives prevail with no consideration whatsoever for the long-term health and wellbeing of populations generally. 

Fear has always been an effective means of controlling populations for thousands of years, and so it is proving yet again. Sheeple indeed, and the similarity to Lemmings is unmistakable. Instead of this pervasive mentality that "the Government will look after me", develop some independence and self-reliance and above all - COMMONSENSE!!!!!  

MUNDO - World

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 1,505 - (1,466) - up 39 or 2.7%

Disturbing to see this change upwards - must be the Vindaflu! But what about the vaccines? See above for the answer! This question is becoming ever more pressing and calling into question the false narratives and lies continually being foisted on the world's population. It is good to see that people are waking up and pushing back against this nonsense.

ARGENTINA

Population - 45,617,246 - (45,609,321) - up 7,925 or 0.017%

Active cases - 288,421 - (304,726) - down 16,305 or 5.4%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 6,323 - (6,681) - down 358 or 5.4%

A better rate of weekly increase from last week but still a long way to go.

AUSTRALIA

Population - 25,800,387 - (25,794,730) - up 5,657 or 0.022%

Active cases - 575 - (416) - up 159 or 38.2%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 22 - (16) - up 6 or 37.5%

A few clusters of infection - but numbers still very low

Active cases - 19,027 - (23,558) - down 4,531 or 19,2%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 987 - (1,222) - down 235 or 19.2%

A slightly lesser weekly rate of decrease but still solidly in the right direction

COLOMBIA

Active cases - 166,913 - (198,086) - down 31,173 or 15.7%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 3,245 - (3,852) - down 607 or 15.8%
At last the very high figures are starting to decrease. 

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC  

Population - 10,958,440 - (10,956,361) - up 2.079 or 0.019%

Active cases - 55,564 - (54,957) - up 607 or 1.1%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 5,070 - (5,016) - up 54 or 1.1%

Half the rate of increase from last week, but still going the wrong way.

ECUADOR

Population - 17,914,915 - (17,909,788) - up 5,127 or 0.029%

Active cases - 12,706 - (14,245) - down 1,539 or 10.8%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 709 - (795) - down 86 or 10.8%

A resumption of case decreases - good to see.

GERMANY

Population - 84,056,651 - (84,051,450) - up 5,201 or 0.006%

Active cases - 16,450 - (18,610) - down 2,160 or 11.6%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 196 - (221) - down 25 or 11.3%

rate of decrease reduced substantially, but still a very solid result. Time to ease the draconian and ridiculous lockdown.

JAPAN

Population - 126,081,982 - (126,089,354) - down 7,372 or 0.006%

Active cases - 16,804 - (16,869) - down 65 or 0.4%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 126 - (134) - down 8 or 6.0%

Smaller rate of decline, but sadly the Japanese Government has still decided that there will be no spectators at the Games.

MALAYSIA

Population - 32,787,057 - (32,779,126) - up 7,931 or 0.024%

Active cases - 80,685 - (66,084) - up 14,601 or 22.1%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 2,461 - (2,016) - up 445 or 22.1%

A much bigger increase than previous weeks; this needs to be brought under control

MEXICO

Active cases - 301,488 - (288,625) - up 12,863 or 4.5%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 2,314 - (2,215) - up 99 or 4.5%

Weekly increase about double the previous week. 

NEW ZEALAND

Population - 5,002,100 - (5,002,100) - no change as always!

Active cases - 32 - (27) - up 7 or 25.9%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 6 - (5) - up 1 or 20.0%

Nothing exciting here!!

PHILIPPINES

Population - 111,061,804 - (111,033,906) - up 27,898 or 0.025%

Active cases - 51,902 - (55,482) - down 3,580 or 6.5%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 467 - (500) - down 33 or 6.6%

Another good solid rate of decrease, slightly higher than last week

TAIWAN

Population - 23,860,654 - (23,859,832) - up 822 or 0.004%

Active cases - 1,617 - (2,586) - down 969 or 37.5%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 68 - (108) - down 40 or 37.0%
Better decrease than last week - keep it going!

Population - 69,978,234 - (69,974,894) - up 3,340 or 0.005%

Active cases - 74895 - (54,440) - up 20,455 or 37.6%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 1,070 - (778) - up 292 or 37.5%

Not good; weekly rate of increase greater than last week

UNITED KINGDOM

Population - 68,248,738 - (68,241,931) - up 6,807 or 0.020%

Active cases - 545,693 - (372,745) - up 172,948 or 46.4%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 7,996 - (5,462) - up 2,534 or 46.4%

Unbelievable increases. Can't be the "vaccine" - can it? Must be the dinghy divers coming across the Channel.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Population - 332,976,690 - (332,939,657) - up 37,033 or 0.011%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 14,570 - (14,683) - down 113 or 0.7%

A much reduced rate of decrease from last week. What is going on - with all these "vaccinations"?

URUGUAY

Active cases - 9,088 - (14,690) - down 5,602 or 38.1%

Active cases per 1 million of total population - 2,607 - (4,214) - down 1,607 or 38.1%

Excellent rate of reduction - we might get to Uruguay yet!!

COMMENT AND NEWS - 

AUSTRALIA

Australia and New Zealand are in panic mode - designed to increase the FEAR in the population - and it's working. The "travel bubble" between NSW, Victoria and NZ has been suspended all in the continuing, but mistaken, belief that it is still possible to eliminate all Coronaviruses. This is ludicrous anti-science and people just have to get over it and themselves. Everyone also needs to realise that with the panic to get "vaccinated", it is extremely likely that the Coronaviruses will continue to mutate as a reaction. See the comments at the start of this blog.

COLOMBIA

Following are this week's headlines from the English language www.colombiareports.com. You may need to go to the desktop version to read most of these:

July 5th. After 50 years, Colombia seems to have given up on drug war

July 6th. Medellin gangs have as many members as ELN in all Colombia

July 6th. Colombia's "first-line" protestors: folk heroes and terror suspects

July 8th. Colombia clashes with OAS over damning human rights report

July 8th. Colombia's far-right regime put on despot watch list

July 8th. Colombia recycles terrorist conspiracy theory ahead of new protests 

July 9th. Colombia vows cooperation in Haiti president assassination probe - apparently 26 of the 28 member hit team that took out Haitian president Moise on the 7th. July were Colombian nationals and some had been members of the Colombian National Army.

We read on the front page of the NZ Herald that Dave Petraska, a well-known writer for NZ Soccer some years ago, and a Colombian resident for the past 7 years, had died in Colombia - apparently of the Chinese Virus on July 7th. We knew him, but had no idea of that previous life of his - he never discussed it with us. We feel quite sad because we knew Dave reasonably well. First met him in a coffee bar just up the road from our apartment and we kept in touch sporadically. We also had lunch with him a couple of times along the road in the restaurant quarter of this part of Envigado. He came to our apartment for drinks also not too long ago. He had asked us to go to his musical recitals at a restaurant in the restaurant area of the Sao Paulo Mall just up the road, but we never made it - often for a genuine reason, but also because we avoid going out at night - not for any safety reasons, because there aren't any around here, but that's just us and getting older no doubt! We are sad we never heard him play.

We regularly sent him these blogs and there was one occasion some weeks ago when the headline was briefly changed from the "Chinese Virus" to "Covid-19". He rang us up to chide us over that and it's been the Chinese Virus again ever since. Our political views it has to be said, were diametrically opposed to his and we had some vigorous discussion with Dave on that subject from time to time, but never with any rancour!! He also didn't take any prisoners, although we gave as good as we got!! He was somewhat of a hippy and it also has to be said that he wasn't the healthiest person we have ever known. Undoubtedly that would have contributed to his succumbing to Pneumonia - apparently caused by the Kung Flu. We understood that he was working on-line for some sports betting agency in the UK and working all sorts of unsociable hours as a result. That wouldn't have contributed to his health either, but at least he was doing something associated with what had been a consuming passion for him. 

We feel sad that we won't be having any more uplifting (!) political discussions with Dave. He was only 56. We hope that he is now at peace.

Otherwise life continues pretty much as before. Had a bit of a disappointment with our orange/yellow Bougainvillea. It flowered magnificently about 6 weeks ago - probably the best ever - but soon after that it seemed to be dying. Leaves falling off and looking very sick. We wondered whether it was the Kung Flu?!! So, we thought we might have to replace it, but after heavily pruning within 6-8 inches of the pot it is in, the woody growth was all green inside and looks very healthy. So, we've left it pruned and hope that it will grow again. We have heavily scarified the soil in the pot and fed it.

The Chinese Virus seems to be once more on the wane - active cases in Colombia as at 15/07 are 133,599 - a 33,314 (20.0%) reduction since last Friday. This is only 0.26% of the total population. In most of S America the infection rates now appear to be declining again, which is good to see. We have our Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine so we're ok - Jack!!! We have started a course of Ivermectin for parasites, which should be done in any case here as parasites are endemic. And the beneficial side-effect is the resistance to the old Kung Flu!! 

Apart from all that, after yours truly's Endoscopy and Colonoscopy on June 21st., the follow-up appointment occurred last Wednesday and there is nothing to give concern, except that there is a VERY small mass in the stomach which he couldn't reach to take a biopsy. So, there is to be a lesser and more specialised procedure in another clinic in the near future so that a biopsy can be taken. The specialist however, said that he is sure that it is certainly not malignant in any way. But it will be good to have the confirmation. They are very thorough and competent and we have nothing but praise for the professionalism so far. Jean's experience last year when she was so sick with respiratory issues, which we are sure were caused by the Kung Flu, was the same. Medellin, it is said, has the best medical system and hospitals in all of Latin America.

NEW ZEALAND

Once again we must remind everyone to listen to Leighton Smith's weekly podcasts and PLEASE read Dr. Muriel Newman's weekly newsletter. These voices are just about the only voices of reason coming out of Godzone these days. And for God's sake, if you haven't already done it, listen to Dr. Damian Wojcik's podcast on the subject of the Kung Flu "vaccinations". His voice is also the calm voice of reason in an otherwise insane world. We can only hope that he hasn't had his practising certificate taken as has been threatened for any medical practitioner who dares to speak the truth about these Chinese Virus "vaccines". 

We have just heard another ludicrous and damaging story that has been born out of the hypocritical climate fanatics and their weaponising of the whole issue of climate - 

NZ is currently importing low grade and polluting coal from Borneo, Indonesia to run the Huntly power station. 

Reminds us of when in 2013 we were sailing along the north-east coast of Java in Indonesia and on the horizon we could see a sawtooth silhouette. We were somewhat perplexed as there were no islands charted there. However, as the distance closed we could see that the sawtooth was in fact a very large fully laden coal barge under tow by a large tug. There were 4 or 5 "peaks" of coal on the barge. It was underway from Borneo to Java to power Indonesia's power stations. We prudently altered course to pass astern of the barge so there was no question of getting hung up on the tow hawser. But you have to be careful because sometimes there is a second barge in the same tow. Not so bad in daylight, but very dangerous at night because these tow combinations are almost always incorrectly lit (incl. on the tug) and possibly without lights altogether. 

Anyway, we digress - this low-grade coal is being imported into NZ from Indonesia (Borneo). It is trucked to Huntly by a fleet of some hundreds of trucks. NZ obviously cannot produce enough electricity from its hydro storage lakes - hence the imported coal. Great for the environment - where are the hypocritical Greens who should be up in arms? And what will happen when this vast new fleet of EV's all tries to be recharged at once? These destructive clowns couldn't run a p----p in a brewery, all the while having hugely prejudicial effects on the lives of just about everyone.

Questions - why isn't NZ using local coal? There's plenty in Southland and possibly still at Huntly where there was an overhead line to transport coal from the mines to the power station. And what happens when the draconian taxes on gasoline powered vehicles come into effect and which are designed to penalise buyers of gasoline vehicles in favour of expensive electric ones? The whole thing is a sick and destructive joke (if that's the right word) which is all part of the Socialist aim of destroying the country and its economy.

And following on from that, there are extensive protests planned by farmers who are being persecuted for owning and using gasoline and diesel vehicles and farm equipment. With any luck the wheels are falling off the Ardern Communist government.  

We have been reading about the protests and while it is good that they made their point somewhat with causing traffic jams with the farm vehicles, in our view they should go further and do what the French do and block all motorway access to Auckland and other main centres. Drastic action like this which will result in notice being taken is really the only way forward.

   

UNITED KINGDOM

We are continually and hilariously entertained by Alex Belfield who is a British broadcaster and who only appears to have a nodding acquaintance with "political correctness". He has been on holiday in the Balearics. He has been persecuted shamelessly by the BBC and the Nottingham Police since he began his own broadcast channel over a year ago. He comments on the political situation in the UK and in particular about the nonsensical C Virus regulations.

There has been concern about the shortage and corresponding long hours of long-distance truck drivers in the UK and Alex blithely said that his grandfather never had a problem when he was driving long-haul on the Isle of Wight!!

He also referred to his grandfather, no doubt later in his life, when he happened to mention that he (the grandfather) never knew whether he was coming or going as he always took his Viagra in prune juice!!!😀  

The C Virus infection figures are again going through the roof. This suggests that the "variant" is mutating to overcome the "vaccine" resistance. This is entirely that elusive commodity of commonsense, so not unexpected. It is disingenuous on the part of the so-called experts/propagandists to claim otherwise.

However, there is one piece of good news; Boris of the Johnson has announced that his government will be continuing to proceed with Freedom Day on 19/07 in spite of increasing infections. These infections are nowhere near the severity of the original virus as hospitalisations and deaths are way down from those times. So, the UK will be losing much of the original Chinese Virus restrictions, which will help business and life in general. The liberal lefties will no doubt be crying foul.

The place is a total nuthouse, as is the rest of the world. What the F------G HELL is going on and what is the world coming to? Have just heard from another commentator, Jeff Taylor, that if the owner of a cell phone has tested positive and the system has "detected" that another cellphone has been within 2 metres of the first, then the owner of the second MUST also self isolate. Good luck with that with reports that millions are deleting the App in absolute frustration. 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Democrats and associated Fruit Loops - Much Ado About Nothing (as Shakespeare would have said) - the Dims have finally acknowledged after their much hyped attack on Donald Trump's tax returns, that there is NO evidence of any tax fraud and that therefore President Trump would not be facing any charges - civil or criminal. The AG of New York ran for office on this investigation of Trump and the "certainty" of charges to come with absolutely no proof, which in itself was illegal and probably defamatory. Trump should sue the ass off her and the State of New York; maybe then they would learn their lesson. Doubtful though, because they are good at spending public money which isn't theirs.

This comes after the entirely unjustified witch hunt before and during the Trump presidency when they were screaming "Russia, Russia Collusion". They spent 30 million dollars on this wasted effort and then there were 2 attempts at Impeachment. None of it was justified; it was all a criminal effort on the part of the Dims and their lying conspirators in the FBI and CIA. 

But the Dims are so paranoid and fearful of Donald Trump that they will never stop in their efforts to destroy him and his businesses. We just hope that he has good security protection because the Dims would not stop at a physical attack if they thought they could get away with it. 

After all the totally bad news of the past few months during which the Biden/Harris crooks have wrought so much damage on the US in so many ways, it is now very encouraging to see a real push-back from true patriots. Chief of these is Mark Levin who has a weekly TV show on Fox called Life, Liberty and Levin. Just recently the format changed slightly because he has just completed his eleventh book - "American Marxism" in which he details how the Marxists have been working to take over American institutions (educational, governmental and commercial) for at least the past 70 years. For example he chronicles John Dewey who died in 1952 in his 90's and who was a prominent educational reformer and indirectly the architect of the present day Critical Race Theory, historical revisionism and general wokeness that we see today. He doesn't despair that the present situation is irredeemable as many do; on the contrary he educates people how the present appalling situation came about through the evil machinations of a variety of people, including Dewey, so that the path forward to clear America of these malevolent ideas can be seen clearly. We certainly intend to obtain a copy of "American Marxism" when it becomes available on July 13th. from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and bookstores everywhere. The last chapter deals with the means that every citizen has to contribute to healing America. So many people say "what can I do"? Well, according to Mark Levin there is plenty and it behoves everyone to obtain a copy of his book. If Secession is to be avoided - and we are not at all sure that it can be avoided, as America is badly broken right now - then a read of Levin's book seems to be a must. 

Not sure about the availability in NZ - Amazon may be the only practical source. We watch Levin's programmes on Sunday nights often and have always found him to be informative and extremely uplifting. He has interviewed some wonderful people during the time that we have been watching Fox. Sean Hannity calls him "Oh, Great One"!! He is a lawyer, author and a former member of the administration of President Ronald Reagan before becoming Chief of Staff to Attorney-General Edwin Meese. You can watch Levin's more recent interviews on Foxnews.com or probably on his own website, although on trying just now, it appears that the pages have been taken down/disappeared - no doubt more of the disgusting censorship that we are seeing more and more of from Big Tech who are 100% in bed with the Biden crooks. But Fox so far seems to be intact.

Snippets of news re the Arizona forensic audit are finally coming to light - including that 74,000 more mail-in ballots were received back than had originally been mailed out!! There were also 11,000 ballots received from people who were not resident in Arizona and many more thousands printed on non secure paper which allowed marker pen (Sharpies) ink to bleed through - thus making ballots unreadable - mostly Trump ballots. These are just some of the "irregularities" so far and when you consider that the Biden crook "won" by just 10,000 votes, it is clear that Trump won Arizona. Similar "discrepancies" have now been found in Fulton County which comprises most of the City of Atlanta, Georgia. Pennsylvania in the crooked counties that cover Pittsburgh and Philadelphia is likely to follow suit. Then there are Wisconsin and Michigan - all of which without a doubt Trump won handily. That would easily hand Trump the presidency. Some commentators are saying that even if this most egregious fraud is proved, it would still not result in a change in the White House - because there is no precedent. But that is how legal precedents are created. All situations which result in legal precedent, many of which are slavishly followed in subsequent court decisions, have to start somewhere at some time - and this is precisely one of those times - THE BIGGEST AND MOST EGREGIOUS ELECTORAL FRAUD EVER PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. If the fraud is finally proved on the scale that seems most likely, the American people will not let the present situation stand and our prediction coming from that is Secession at the least or Civil War. The only action that could prevent either of these debilitating, and frankly shocking, outcomes would be for the Biden crooks to resign en masse and allow the legal resumption of the Trump Presidency.

In the meantime in just two crooked actions of the Dims, the entire Democrat Caucus of the Texas Senate walked out because they object to new legislation aimed at eliminating electoral fraud. Typical of them - anything which reduces their chances of winning fairly, they object to. Anyway, they all went to DC to be with their crooked friends and the Texas Governor has said that they will all be arrested when they eventually return and charged with deliberate obstruction of the legitimate business of the State of Texas, not to mention dereliction of duty. And he has said that in addition their salaries will be cancelled while they are AWOL. 

And in DC the Dims in the Senate are going all out to smash the Fillibuster in order to get their crooked electoral bill through which would remove control of national elections from the states and hand it to the Federal Government. This is totally unconstitutional because the US Constitution specifically provides for electoral matters to be solely under states' jurisdictions. If this bill were to somehow pass, this would be another cause for Secession and/or Civil War. Just these matters alone illustrate how close the USA is to disintegration. 

And even if the above matters are resolved, it is arguable that the USA is so much on the brink with civil riots in "blue" cities and the unspeakably horrible conditions on the Mexican border and with tens of thousands of illegals being secretly and forcibly distributed around ALL of the US, that the US is so broken now that it is not possible to resurrect it in its present form. This would be unspeakably tragic after 245 years but sometimes history builds a momentum that in the end is unstoppable.

And none of the above even begins to address the economic situation which has been unfolding ever since that other crook, Nixon, took the US off  the Gold Standard in 1971. This is the other elephant in the room, which is arguably the biggest elephant of all. All we can say at this point is be very cautious with any financial decisions you may make right now - especially if there is any contemplation to borrow money. Inflation is increasing rapidly and in the very near future the US Fed will raise interest rates to curb this dangerous trend which they are still in denial about.

Well, on that happy note, that's all we have to say for this blog. There has been so much happening that it has been badly delayed but the sentiments are still very much valid. We have decided that in order to get some of our lives back, we will in future be issuing only fortnightly blogs (not weekly as in the past), so the next blog will be for week number 49 (343 days) - July 23rd.

In the meantime we hope that everyone is staying well and as always we will welcome any feedback that you wish to foist upon us!!

Cordial saludos y mucho amor de nosotros en la Ciudad de la Eterna Primavera...............
