Johan Giesecke, professor emeritus at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm says a lockdown only pushes severe cases and deaths into the future, it will not prevent them.

Unexplained Illness That Halted AstraZeneca Vaccine Trial Likely Not Linked to Shot, Oxford Says

💉 Symptoms that prompted the University of Oxford and partner AstraZeneca to pause trials evaluating their experimental coronavirus vaccine probably were not related to the shot itself, according to documents sent to participants.

Safety reviews were carried out when volunteers in the Oxford study developed unexplained neurological symptoms including limb weakness or “changed sensation," a participant information sheet posted online by Oxford shows.

“After independent review, these illnesses were either considered unlikely to be associated with the vaccine or there was insufficient evidence to say for certain that the illnesses were or were not related to the vaccine,” the letter reads. @COVID19Up SOURCE

Nashville Officials Concealed Low COVID-19 Numbers Coming From Bars and Restaurants, Leaked Emails Show

🇺🇸 Leaked emails between the senior adviser to Nashville's Mayor and a health department official reveal a disturbing effort to conceal extremely low COVID-19 cases emanating from bars and restaurants, while the lion's share of infections occurred in nursing homes and construction workers.

On June 30, Leslie Waller from the health department asked: “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?"

“Correct, not for public consumption,” writes senior advisor Benjamin Eagles.

A month later, the health department was asked point blank about the rumor there are only 80 cases traced to bars and restaurants.

Reporter Nate Rau asked, “The figure you gave of 'more than 80' does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?" @COVID19Up SOURCE

Americans' "Vaccine Hesitancy" Could be a Barrier to Defeating COVID-19, Doctor Warns

Achieving herd immunity to COVID-19 is a goal medical experts hope to meet with the eventual rollout of a coronavirus vaccine. CDC Director Robert Redfield testified before Congress Wednesday that even if a vaccine is approved and ready to start distributing in November, it would likely take until the middle of 2021 for it to be "generally available to the American public so we can begin to take advantage of vaccine to get back to our regular life."

But lack of trust in the process and the persistence of anti-vaccine beliefs in U.S. society could be a barrier to defeating the virus.

"I am quite concerned, given the vaccine hesitancy of many Americans, that it's going to be challenging to get to that point," internal medicine specialist Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider told CBSN on Thursday. "So, all the more reason we need to be reliant on the science."

According to Johns Hopkins University, 70% to 90% of Americans would need to have coronavirus antibodies for herd immunity to be achieved. Herd immunity helps protect vulnerable people like infants and those with compromised immune systems who can't get the vaccine.

However, vaccine opponents had already begun efforts to disparage the future vaccine as early as April, months before any clinical trials.

U.S. Cases of Depression Have Tripled During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The number of adults experiencing depression in the U.S. has tripled during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a major study. Researchers estimate that more than 1 in 4 U.S. adults now report experiencing symptoms of depression.

Before the pandemic, 8.5% of U.S. adults reported being depressed. That number has risen to 27.8% as the country struggles with COVID-19.

The mayor of Moche, Peru, has come out in the public and announced that the pandemic is officially over! He declares that the government response is anti-human and anti-life, and is a campaign of outright terrorism. During his speech, the police comes to harass him, but the mayor keeps going, declaring that their district is NOT adhering to the dictatorship any longer.

Now that is a man with a moral spine! I pray we will see more and more of this in the coming days. Truth will prevail!

UK to Crack Down on COVID-19 Rule Breakers With Fines Up to 10,000 Pounds

🇬🇧 People in England who break new rules requiring them to self-isolate if they have been in contact with someone infected with COVID-19 will face a fine of up to 10,000 pounds ($12,914), Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Saturday.

The rules will apply from Sept. 28 to anyone in England who tests positive for the virus or is notified by public health workers that they have been in contact with someone infectious.

“People who choose to ignore the rules will face significant fines,” Johnson said in a statement.

Fines will start at 1,000 pounds for a first offence, rising to 10,000 pounds for repeat offenders or cases where employers threaten to sack staff who self-isolate rather than go to work.

To date there has been little enforcement of self-isolation rules, except in some cases where people have returned from abroad.

Johnson has also faced calls to reintroduce more wide-ranging lockdown rules for the general public. @COVID19Up SOURCE

Almost 90% of New York City Bars and Restaurant Owners Couldn’t Pay Rent Last Month

Nearly 90% of New York City bar and restaurant owners couldn’t pay their rent in August, heightening the continued crush the coronavirus shutdown has inflicted on Gotham’s economy.

Eighty-seven percent of bars, restaurants, nightclubs and event spaces in the five boroughs could not pay their full August rent, according to data from 457 businesses surveyed between Aug. 25 and Sept. 11, in a new study released Monday by the nonprofit NYC Hospitality Alliance.

It’s a 7 percentage-point increase from June and a four-point jump from July, darkening the dire picture for eateries desperately seeking relief following six months of partial—and in some cases total—closure due to COVID-19 shutdowns.

Some 34% of this group said they could not pay rent at all last month, and only 12.9% were able to meet full payments.

“Restaurants, bars and nightlife venues have been financially devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said alliance executive director Andrew Rigie.
