The state of Florida will no longer be using one of the area’s largest private medical labs for COVID-19 tests after an “unacceptable” dump of old test results, some of which date back to April.
According to the Department of Health, Quest Diagnostics submitted nearly 75,000 test results to the state late Monday. Most of the data was over two weeks old, and some results were from several months ago.

Experts agree that timely test results are key to tracking and containing the spread of the virus, and the governor blasted Quest for the data dump.
“The law requires all COVID-19 results to be reported to DOH in a timely manner. To drop this much unusable and stale data is irresponsible,” Gov.

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-01--Sorry, Folks. The Show is Over. We’re Discovering The Truth About The Virus….Masks Will Be a Thing o

Sorry, Folks. The Show is Over. We’re Discovering The Truth About The Virus….Masks Will Be a Thing of The Past Soon Enough…

So , here we are , over 5 months later and the US Coronavirus death tally sits at 185K+ deaths , according to the Johns Hopkins counter .
This is the data source that virtually everyone has fixated on for months ( and continues to fixate on ) .
Following the CDC ’ s recent findings that only 6 % of the 185K+ deaths were directly caused by Covid-19 , there ’ s been the expected flurry of news articles and statements from health authorities jumping at the bit to dismiss these findings .
They ’ re certainly attempting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite the emergence of increasingly conflicting data .
They do this by resorting to ambiguous explanations and outright dubious statements as a means to distort and manipulate the public ’ s perception of reality .
Let me explain what I mean , as it specifically relates to this new data on Covid-19 .
Here ’ s a quote from a physician named Amit Kaura , who ’ s cited within a recent article with an obvious agenda to keep the fear level on overdrive : “ I don ’ t think people should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people died of COVID-19 — 6 percent of those people that died only had COVID-19 listed as a cause of death , ” Kaura said .
“ COVID-19 was involved in 100 percent of those mortalities.
” That ’ s quite a claim , especially considering the fact that Dr. Kaura failed to elaborate on the specifics of how the virus was “ involved ” in 100 % of those deaths .
Was Dr. Kaura personally “ involved ” with the care for the 185K+ people who have died ?
Obviously not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why Dr Kaura would make such a careless statement .
In order to fully understand why Dr Kaura ’ s statement is unbelievably asinine , we first need to dig into a few details regarding how we ’ ve actually been testing for the virus and counting “ positive ” cases , since the virus ’ s inception .
The gold standard being used to count positive cases is called a PCR test .
( Polymerase chain reaction ) .
It detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment .
In laymen ’ s terms , the PCR test detects extremely tiny , near non-existent levels of the virus .
This means that if someone is tested as “ positive ” , in no way does a positive result indicate that the person is contagious or will ever be contagious .
What the public needs to understand , is that the PCR test does not determine or measure the amount of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a person has .
It ’ s simply is designed to detect the absolute smallest amounts of it .
In fact , studies have already shown that 90 % of people diagnosed as “ positive ” with Coronavirus are not even carrying enough of it to infect anyone else .
This should have been made public ages ago , yet Governors across the US have insisted on using these positive cases as justifiable reasons to destroy businesses and their state ’ s economy .
Another equally important fact , is that the PCR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cause of a death in a person .
If a hospitalized patient dies of cancer , heart disease , diabetes or other unrelated health issues , but happens to have had a positive test prior to their passing , in no way does it mean that there was ever enough of the virus in their system that actually “ exacerbated ” any of their existing health conditions .
Despite this fact , hospitals and health care professionals are being instructed to carry out the CDC ’ s unprecedented policy to count EVERY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a “ Covid complication ” death ) merely on the basis that a patient tested positive ( or was presumed to be positive ) at some point in time prior to their death .
Essentially what this means , is that the CDC is literally counting deaths “ twice ” on the federal level .
For example , if an individual dies of a stroke , but also happened to have been tested as “ positive ” for the virus , their death is tallied as both a Covid death AND a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certificate on a local level states that the stroke was the primary cause of their demise .
The end result ?
The CDC can now state that there are a massive surplus or an excessive number of deaths this year , that are a “ direct ” result of the the virus .
This is an entirely new level of data manipulation , dishonesty , and fear mongering .
People often tend to underestimate the amount of non-virus deaths that occur , every year in the world .
Below are the top ten @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an average ( non-coronavirus ) year : – 700K people due from heart disease – 600K people die from cancer – 160K people die from COPD – 160K people die from accidents – 140K people die from Stroke – 116K people die from Alzheimer ’ s – 80k people die from diabetes – 50K people die from Kidney disease – 45K people die from Suicide – 40K people die from Influenza There are obviously many other causes of death other than the examples above , however , in total there approx 2.6 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US alone .
To put this into perspective , that figure amounts to approximately 5 people dying every 60 seconds in America .
To recap , the CDC has recently ( albeit quietly ) announced that from the Coronavirus ’ s current death toll of 185K people , Covid-19 was determined to be the direct cause of death in only 6 % of those deaths .
This means that less than 12K people have tragically died as a direct result of having contracted the virus .
These particular patients no doubt suffered greatly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and features ( including the now famous “ ground-glass opacity ” finding in the scans of their lungs ) However , it should also be noted that such findings in scans are often nonspecific and can occur with a variety of infectious and noninfectious processes .
So what do we really know about the remaining 173K people who have died thus far this year , other than they didn ’ t necessarily die directly from Covid-19 ?
Well , we know ( according to the CDC ) that they had an average of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they were either tested “ positive ” before their death or they were a “ presumed case ” .
A presumed case basically means they had a test that came back positive on a local level but was never confirmed .
Considering the fact that there have been many different reports of false positives on a local level , having a “ positive test ” isn ’ t very useful information , particularly when that person isn ’ t showing any symptoms of the virus .
As bizarre as it may sound @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a piece of fruit came back positive for the virus .
Yes , that actually happened .
It should also be noted that every year , otherwise healthy people with no known pre-existing health conditions , tragically die of the Flu .
Strangely , despite these tragic and unexpected deaths occurring every Flu season , few have ever been reported on by the main stream media .
Given the fact that approximately 30K to 60K people die each year from Influenza , ask yourself whether the CDC has ever implemented such an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season ?
Even more , have health care facilities ever routinely given ANY kind of viral PCR test to every heart attack , kidney failure or car accident patient ?
So , then why are we doing this now with virtually every hospitalized patient ?
Given the facts on how PCR tests work and their incapability of determining the spread of the virus or whether someone is likely to die from the virus , perhaps people will finally come to realize that there is indeed a nefarious agenda at play .
Perhaps the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exist , will no longer be just a fantasy for fringe thinking conspiracy theorists .
The good news ( if there is any ) , is that new data is continuing to emerge — data that will likely validate any skepticism and criticism regarding the Government ’ s response to this virus .

So, here we are, over 5 months later and the US Coronavirus death tally sits at 185K+ deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins counter. This is the data source that virtually everyone has fixated on for months (and continues to fixate on).
Following the CDC’s recent findings that only 6% of the 185K+ deaths were directly caused by Covid-19, there’s been the expected flurry of news articles and statements from health authorities jumping at the bit to dismiss these findings. They’re certainly attempting to keep the throttle on full fear, despite the emergence of increasingly conflicting data. They do this by resorting to ambiguous explanations and outright dubious statements as a means to distort and manipulate the public’s perception of reality.

In fact, studies have already shown that 90% of people diagnosed as “positive” with Coronavirus are not even carrying enough of it to infect anyone else.

Another equally important fact, is that the PCR test also does not differentiate or determine the cause of a death in a person.

Essentially what this means, is that the CDC is literally counting deaths “twice” on the federal level. For example, if an individual dies of a stroke, but also happened to have been tested as “positive” for the virus, their death is tallied as both a Covid death AND a stroke death, even though the death certificate on a local level states that the stroke was the primary cause of their demise. The end result? The CDC can now state that there are a massive surplus or an excessive number of deaths this year, that are a “direct” result of the the virus. This is an entirely new level of data manipulation, dishonesty, and fear mongering.
People often tend to underestimate the amount of non-virus deaths that occur, every year in the world. Below are the top ten causes of death in the US in an average (non-coronavirus) year:
– 700K people due from heart disease
– 600K people die from cancer
– 160K people die from COPD
– 160K people die from accidents
– 140K people die from Stroke
– 116K people die from Alzheimer’s
– 80k people die from diabetes
– 50K people die from Kidney disease
– 45K people die from Suicide
– 40K people die from Influenza
There are obviously many other causes of death other than the examples above, however, in total there approx 2.6 million people who die every year in the US alone. To put this into perspective, that figure amounts to approximately 5 people dying every 60 seconds in America. To recap, the CDC has recently (albeit quietly) announced that from the Coronavirus’s current death toll of 185K people, Covid-19 was determined to be the direct cause of death in only 6% of those deaths. This means that less than 12K people have tragically died as a direct result of having contracted the virus. These particular patients no doubt suffered greatly and likely exhibited very severe ARDS-like symptoms and features (including the now famous “ground-glass opacity” finding in the scans of their lungs) However, it should also be noted that such findings in scans are often nonspecific and can occur with a variety of infectious and noninfectious processes. So what do we really know about the remaining 173K people who have died thus far this year, other than they didn’t necessarily die directly from Covid-19? Well, we know (according to the CDC) that they had an average of 2.6 serious, pre-existing conditions, and that they were either tested “positive” before their death or they were a “presumed case”. A presumed case basically means they had a test that came back positive on a local level but was never confirmed. Considering the fact that there have been many different reports of false positives on a local level, having a “positive test” isn’t very useful information, particularly when that person isn’t showing any symptoms of the virus. As bizarre as it may sound, in Tanzania, even a goat and a piece of fruit came back positive for the virus. Yes, that actually happened.
It should also be noted that every year, otherwise healthy people with no known pre-existing health conditions, tragically die of the Flu. Strangely, despite these tragic and unexpected deaths occurring every Flu season, few have ever been reported on by the main stream media. Given the fact that approximately 30K to 60K people die each year from Influenza, ask yourself whether the CDC has ever implemented such an unprecedented presumptive cases policy during a Flu season? Even more, have health care facilities ever routinely given ANY kind of viral PCR test to every heart attack, kidney failure or car accident patient? So, then why are we doing this now with virtually every hospitalized patient? Given the facts on how PCR tests work and their incapability of determining the spread of the virus or whether someone is likely to die from the virus, perhaps people will finally come to realize that there is indeed a nefarious agenda at play. Perhaps the crazy idea that corruption does in fact exist, will no longer be just a fantasy for fringe thinking conspiracy theorists. The good news (if there is any), is that new data is continuing to emerge — data that will likely validate any skepticism and criticism regarding the Government’s response to this virus.

There’s just one problem. Just like with the subprime crisis, few were screaming about the tech bubble. Why? Because nobody wants to stop the party. Nobody wants to take the punch bowl away.

Liccardo said he was away visiting a relative at the time of the incident. The mayor said the vandalism does not detract from his support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Thousands of Americans participated in that most benign of civic rituals in San Jose, California, on Thursday night: seeing a presidential candidate speak. Of course, that candidate was Donald Trump, so as these engaged citizens streamed out of the arena, they were subjected to astonishing levels of violence. An angry mob pelted eggs, tomatoes, and bottles at the spectators—as well as the police, who tried (and failed) to maintain some semblance of order. Other Trump supporters were set upon and punched. One was left with blood streaming down his face…The mayor of San Jose, Democrat Sam Liccardo, reacted angrily to the events. Not that he was particularly upset at the violent mob that attacked innocent Americans, of course. No, his ire was directed at Mr. Trump. “At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign,” the mayor said. Apparently it was downright “irresponsible” of Trump to even set foot in California’s third largest city.
It’s all fun and games on the left until the mob comes for you.

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-01--Lancet study finds U.S. has, by far, the world’s most-overpriced medical care.

On September 1st, Gallup headlined “50% in U.S. Fear Bankruptcy Due to Major Health Event” and reported that last year only 45% did. Both percentages are the world’s highest. One of the the world’s leading medical journals had just published a study which explains why it’s the case.
The Lancet, is one of the world’s Big Three scientific journals of medicine; that’s the triumvirate of authorities for physicians worldwide, and the other two are the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the New England Journal of Medicine. On August 27th The Lancet published The medical journal,is one of the world’s Big Three scientific journals of medicine; that’s the triumvirate of authorities for physicians worldwide, and the other two are the, and the. On August 27thpublished “Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories” . Here is the visual that’s in it, which shows the United States as having, by far, the world’s costliest medical care, at around $9,000 per person per year, and yet as having lower quality of health care than virtually all other industrialized nations do:
Here is another such study, showing the same thing, and calculating it more simply:
What explains this?
Quite simply, the United States is the world’s most corrupt nation , and medical care is such an extreme necessity when a citizen needs it, so that they’ll pay whatever the system charges them for it — and investing in healthcare products and services is therefore enormously profitable in the United States. Actually, the only other market-sector that competes with it for providing simultaneously high returns and low risk (the combination that offers the best of both worlds to investors) is consumer staples, such as foods, which likewise are necessities of life. When people are desperate, they’ll pay, whatever the cost, because these are things they don’t just want — they need. Here, from Maksim Papenkov’s award-winning 6 February 2020 paper, “An Empirical Asset Pricing Model Accommodating the Sector-Heterogeneity of Risk” , is his sector-specific calculation of stock-market profitability during 2000-2018, showing that “HC” Health Care, and “CS” Consumer Staples, were the best at combining low risk with high returns, during that 19-year period:
(“CD” there is Consumer Discretionary and includes Automobiles and Hotels. It’s the only sector that has higher returns than Health Care, but those returns are twice as risky. The S&P500 have lower returns than Health Care and slightly higher riskiness. At the opposite end, “IT” Information Technology is both the riskiest and the least profitable; and “F” Financials are the second-worst sector for investors. The most-profitable sectors are the necessities, the sectors that take the most from the most-desperate.)
The United States is the only industrialized country in the world that does not have Universal Health Coverage for all citizens. … Rather than one system, United States citizens and residents are insured under a variety of sometimes overlapping systems. The United States is also the only developed country where a significant number of citizens are permitted to be uninsured and where a person’s employment can determine whether they have insurance and what insurance they have. … The extent to which medical bills contribute to bankruptcy is hard to tease out from other factors, but even those who are skeptical of the claim that medical costs cause the majority of bankruptcies concede that they are a significant contributor.13
In the rest of the developed world, by contrast, medical costs are rarely or never cited as a driver behind personal bankruptcy.
Two-thirds of people who file for bankruptcy cite medical issues as a key contributor to their financial downfall.
While the high cost of health care has historically been a trigger for bankruptcy filings, the research shows that the implementation of the Affordable Care Act [“Obamacare”] has not improved things.
What most people do not realize, according to one researcher, is that their health insurance may not be enough to protect them.
America is the most libertarian, or “neo-liberal,” of the advanced industrial nations, and this is why it has the world’s most overpriced medical care. It provides the most liberty for the billionaires.
New England Journal of Medicine. On 15 January 2009, Dr. Angell headlined One of the few extremely bold Americans who rose high in the U.S. healthcare system and tried to tell the public how intensely corrupt it is, has been Marcia Angell, M.D, who held numerous prestigious posts in the U.S. medical system, and she was for a while the Editor-in-Chief of the. On 15 January 2009, Dr. Angell headlined “Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption” , and wrote:
Conflicts of interest pervade medicine. … It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine. … So many reforms would be necessary to restore integrity to clinical research and medical practice that they cannot be summarized briefly. Many would involve congressional legislation and changes in the FDA, including its drug approval process. But there is clearly also a need for the medical profession to wean itself from industry money almost entirely. … Breaking the dependence of the medical profession on the pharmaceutical industry will take more than appointing committees and other gestures. It will take a sharp break from an extremely lucrative pattern of behavior. But if the medical profession does not put an end to this corruption voluntarily, it will lose the confidence of the public. …

In Germany, employers have to contribute to that pot. I don’t think that’s a good idea. I would rather see it come straight out of tax revenues.
Experts who are that public-spirited and knowledgeable about the system should be appointed by U.S. Presidents to lead the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services, but the billionaires prevent that (of course).
On June 27th, NPR headlined “After Pushing Lies, Former Cigna Executive Praises Canada’s Health Care System” , and interviewed a retired PR executive for America’s health insurance companies, who said that maybe the work that he had done smearing Canada’s socialized health insurance — “to spread misinformation about Canada or use cherry-picked data and anecdotes” so as to deceive Americans to accept America’s existing medical system — was partly to blame for America’s having performed significantly worse than Canada had done on the coronavirus crisis. (As of 29 August 2020 , Canada had 3,378 cases per million and was the 76th worst out of 215 countries, whereas U.S. had 18,522 cases per million and was the 9th-worst. On deaths, Canada was the 27th-worst at 241, whereas U.S. was the 11th-worst at 564.)
America’s billionaires derive the vast majority of their net worth from stocks (capital gains and dividends), and from interest that’s paid to them; and, since nothing does this for them better than healthcare investments, the current for-profit system in health care is terrific for them; and these few hundred people, billionaires, extract this wealth from the hundreds of millions of Americans, the general public, and want to continue doing so, and they consequently finance politicians such as Joe Biden and Donald Trump (and their predecessors, such as Bush and Clinton), and they also set up ‘charitable’ foundations, and donate to medical schools, so as to inculcate this libertarian belief, not just into the public, but especially into the students and professors, who receive that trickle-down from them, as employees and future employees. While many in academe are against it, they’re not the ones who get advanced to the prestigious and high-paid positions. “He that pays the piper calls the tune.” It’s top-down (aristocracy), and it only pretends to be bottom-up (democracy). And, so, the corruption continues, and Americans die younger, and poorer, because of this aristocratically controlled system. It’s the American way. It’s the American system. Of corruption. Americans call it “capitalism.”

The pros are getting ready for a market crash — retail investors, not so much, top economist warns ‘A large market correction, should one materialise, would encourage more professional selling that could overwhelm the buy-the-dip retail investor.’ That’s Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz’s chief economic adviser, explaining in an op-ed for the Financial Times how action in the options pits should be taken as a warning by retail investors who have been cashing in on the stock market’s relentless push higher in recent months. “The seemingly endless rally… gives the impression that prices are endorsed and supported by the entire professional investment community,” he said. “After all, despite the vocal concerns over valuations having split away from underlying corporate and economic fundamentals, few fund managers have been willing to challenge the market by placing outright shorts. “
