Chris Martenson: Economic Impact of Second Covid Lockdowns Will Be Severe

The UK health Minister confirms that he doesn't understand the concept of false positive math. Australia goes full-lockdown despite practically no hospital loading. The media is busy mashing up terms and confusing the landscape using 'cases' when it means 'positive PCR tests' and Covid-19 when it means SARS-CoV-2. What's going on here? Sadly it seems like science, logic and common sense are being scooted to the back of the theater while ignorance and bad policy are combining to assure that in the three way balancing act the economy gets ruined. Yes, there's a second wave that we should fear, but it's the second wave of damage for the economy being brought about by an inappropriate amount of attention being placed upon positive tests. Finally, when it comes to Covid, blood group type doesn't seem relevant (data presented) and N-Acetyl-Cysteine does confer any benefit to hospitalized patients (confirming, in a round-about way, the Bradykinin hypothesis).
