Referencing this Swiss Report on the virus... [Gilder's Daily Prophecy] May 8, 2020 [UNSUBSCRIBE]( | [ARCHIVES]( George Gilder: “Forget 5G… buy ‘15G’ instead” [Gilder](With everything going on…  And with the entire world causing a surge of new internet demand…  Will 5G stocks explode to new highs when America reopens for business?  The truth is, they could.  But ask George Gilder, who’s been called “America’s #1 Futurist” and a “technology prophet”… and who’s won the ear of presidents and billionaires… what he thinks you should buy…  And he’ll tell you to forget 5G…  Because it’s time to load up on what he calls “15G” instead.  [Nobody’s talking about this. You’ll be the first to get details, at this link.]( A COVID-19 Rundown: Part 1 [George Gilder]Dear Daily Prophecy Reader, Today, I wanted to share the first part in a series on snippets I’ll be sharing from [this]( Swiss Report on the coronavirus. You’ll find it is a complete and definitive list of the key findings to date, and it entirely supports the position of Gilder’s Daily Prophecy that the lockdown is vastly more destructive than the virus. Let’s dig in! Below you’ll find a list of 15 facts about COVID-19. - According to data from the best-studied countries and regions, the lethality of COVID-19 is on average [about 0.2%](, which is in the range of a severe [influenza]( (flu) and about twenty times lower than originally [assumed]( by the WHO. - Even in the global “hotspots”, the risk of death for the general population of school and working age is typically in the range of [a daily car ride to work](. The risk was initially overestimated because many people with only mild or no symptoms were not taken into account. - Up to 80% of all test-positive persons [remain symptom-free](. Even among 70-79 year olds, [about 60%]( remain symptom-free. Over 95% of all persons show [mild symptoms]( at most. - Up to one third of all persons already have a certain [background immunity]( to COVID-19 due to contact with previous coronaviruses (i.e. common cold viruses). - The median or average age of the deceased in most countries (including [Italy]() is over 80 years and [only about 1%]( of the deceased had no serious preconditions. The age and risk profile of deaths thus essentially corresponds to [normal mortality](. - In most Western countries, 50-70% of all extra deaths occurred [in nursing homes](, which do not benefit from a general lockdown. Moreover, in many cases it is [not clear]( whether these people really died from COVID-19 or from [extreme stress](, fear and loneliness.

[Hit this link to find out how to get in on the action TODAY.]( - Up to 50% of all additional deaths may have been caused [not by COVID-19](, but by the effects of the [lockdown, panic and fear](. For example, the treatment of heart attacks and strokes [decreased]( by up to 60% because many patients no longer dared to go to hospital. - Even in so-called “COVID-19 deaths” it is often [not clear]( whether they died from or with coronavirus (i.e. from underlying diseases) or if they were counted as [“presumed cases”]( and not tested at all. However, official figures usually [do not reflect]( this distinction. - Many media reports of young and healthy people dying from COVID-19 turned out to be false: many of these young people either [did not die]( from COVID-19, they had already been [seriously ill]( (e.g. from undiagnosed leukaemia), or they were in fact [109 instead of 9]( years old. - The normal overall mortality per day is about [8,000 people]( in the US, about 2,600 in Germany and about 1,800 in Italy. Influenza mortality per season is [up to 80,000]( in the US and [up to 25,000]( in Germany and Italy. In several countries COVID-19 deaths [remained below]( strong flu seasons. - Regional increases in mortality may be influenced by additional risk factors such as [high levels of air pollution]( and [microbial contamination](, as well as a [collapse in the care for the elderly and sick]( due to infections, mass panic and lockdown. Special [regulations]( for dealing with the deceased sometimes led to additional bottlenecks in funeral or cremation services. - In countries such as Italy and Spain, and to some extent the UK and the US, hospital overloads due to strong flu waves [are not unusual](. In addition, up to 15% of doctors and health workers were [put into quarantine](, even if they developed no symptoms. - The often shown exponential curves of “corona cases” are [misleading](, as the number of tests also increased exponentially. In most countries, the ratio of positive tests to tests overall (i.e. the positive rate) remained [constant at 5-25%]( or increased only slightly. In many countries, the peak of the spread was already reached well [before the lockdown](. - Countries without curfews and contact bans, such as [Japan](, [South Korea]( or [Sweden](, have [not experienced]( a more negative course of events than other countries. Sweden was even [praised]( by the WHO and now benefits from higher immunity compared to lockdown countries. - The fear of a shortage of ventilators was [unjustified](. According to lung specialists, the invasive ventilation (intubation) of COVID-19 patients, which is partly done [out of fear]( of spreading the virus, is in fact often [counterproductive]( and damaging to the lungs.
