Greg Reese Report - Shelter In Place Is Weakening The Immune Systems Of Everyone Who Complies Aired: 2020-04-25 Duration: 13:42 === Covid's Lesser Evil (13:04) === [00:00:03] After testing thousands of people for COVID-19, Dr. Dan Erickson, co-owner of Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield, California, held a news conference to release their data, compare it to the CDC's data, and deliver a powerful message. [00:00:21] COVID-19 is more present and less fatal than we were told. [00:00:25] The numbers say that it is less of a danger than influenza. [00:00:29] And the shelter-in-place order is causing far more damage than good. [00:00:33] Their information is based on science, and the message is chilling. [00:00:38] You can see the full video at banned.video, but here is the gist of it. [00:00:43] Does this make sense? [00:00:44] Are we following the science? [00:00:46] We keep hearing following the science. [00:00:51] What is science essentially? [00:00:52] It's the study of the natural world through experiment, through observation. [00:00:57] So that's what we're doing. [00:00:58] We're studying the disease around us. [00:01:00] We're making observations. [00:01:01] We're doing testing experiments to figure out exactly what's going on. [00:01:06] And so this has caused some severe disruption for Accelerated as we have people coming in 7 in the morning till midnight. [00:01:14] We're reporting to the health department. [00:01:16] We're calling patients back. [00:01:18] And at the same time, our volumes have dropped significantly. [00:01:22] The hospitals, their ICUs are empty, essentially, and they're shutting down floors. [00:01:29] They're furloughing patients. [00:01:30] They're furloughing doctors. [00:01:32] So the health system has been evacuated in certain places. [00:01:36] In New York, the health system is working at maximum capacity. [00:01:41] In California, we're really at a minimal capacity getting rid of our doctors and nurses because we just don't have the volume. [00:01:48] The hospitals don't, as I've met with our CEOs twice in the last week, and we don't as well. [00:01:53] So we're busy with paperwork for COVID, and we're all focusing on COVID. [00:01:58] So the more you test, the more positives you get, the prevalence number goes up, and the death rate stays the same. [00:02:07] So it gets smaller and smaller and smaller. [00:02:10] And as we move through this data, what I want you to see is millions of cases, small amount of death. [00:02:16] Millions of cases, small amount of death. [00:02:18] So if we look at California, these numbers are from yesterday. [00:02:22] We have 33,865 COVID cases out of a total of 280,900 total tested. [00:02:30] That's 12% of Californians were positive for COVID. [00:02:34] As you guys know, the initial models were woefully inaccurate. [00:02:38] They predicted millions of cases of death, not of prevalence or incidence, but death. [00:02:44] That is not materializing. [00:02:46] What is materializing in the state of California is 12% positives. [00:02:51] We've seen 1,227 deaths in the state of California with a possible incidence or prevalence of 4.7 million. [00:03:02] That means you have a 0.03 chance of dying from COVID-19 in the state of California. [00:03:07] I also wanted to mention that 96% of people in California who get COVID recover with almost no significant sequelae or no significant continuing medical problems. [00:03:18] So I want to look at New York State. [00:03:20] They've been in the news a lot, right? [00:03:22] And their numbers are critical. [00:03:24] Let's go over their numbers. [00:03:27] Cases of COVID as of yesterday, 256,272 cases in New York State, not New York City, New York, the entire state. [00:03:35] They did a total of 649,325 tests. [00:03:39] That's 39% of New Yorkers tested positive for COVID-19. [00:03:44] That's their ratios. [00:03:45] This is public data online. [00:03:47] You can all look it up. [00:03:48] How many deaths do they have? [00:03:49] 19,410 out of 19 million people, which is a 0.1% chance of dying from COVID in the state of New York. [00:03:58] And they have a 92% recovery rate. [00:04:01] If you are indeed diagnosed with COVID-19, 92% of you will recover. [00:04:06] So we're seeing millions of cases, small amount of death. [00:04:10] USA, this is a big one for us. [00:04:14] 802,590 cases as of yesterday gives us a 19.6% positive out of those who were tested. [00:04:22] So if this is a typical extrapolation, 328 million people times 19.6 is 64 million. [00:04:30] That's a significant amount of people with COVID. [00:04:32] It's similar to the flu. [00:04:33] If you study the numbers in 2017 and 2018, we had 50 to 60 million with the flu. [00:04:40] And we had a similar death rate. [00:04:43] The deaths in the United States were 43,545. [00:04:47] Similar to the flu of 2017-2018. [00:04:50] We always have between 37 and 60,000 deaths in the United States every single year. [00:04:56] No pandemic talk, no shelter in place, no shutting down of businesses, no sending doctors home. [00:05:03] COVID-19 is one aspect of our health sector. [00:05:06] What has it caused to have us be involved in social isolation? [00:05:12] What does it cause that we are seeing the community respond to? [00:05:16] Child molestation is increasing at a severe rate. [00:05:19] We could go over multiple cases of children who have been molested due to angry family members who are intoxicated, who are home, who have no paycheck. [00:05:30] These things last a lifetime. [00:05:32] This isn't about a seasonal flu. [00:05:34] These are things that will follow these people and affect them in a negative fashion for their life. [00:05:39] And these are secondary effects from COVID. [00:05:41] And these are for me talking to ERs, talking to my doctors, and talking to people across the country and finding out what they're seeing. [00:05:48] Spousal abuse. [00:05:50] We see people coming in here with black eyes and cuts on their face. [00:05:53] It's an obvious abusive case. [00:05:55] These are things that will affect them for a lifetime, not for a season. [00:05:59] Alcoholism, anxiety, depression, suicide. [00:06:02] I talked to the Donnie Youngblood and various people in the community. [00:06:08] I've asked them, how are things going? [00:06:10] Suicide is spiking. [00:06:11] Education has dropped off. [00:06:13] Economic collapse. [00:06:14] Medical industry, we're all suffering because our staff isn't here and we have no volume. [00:06:20] These are all real things that I'm seeing every day. [00:06:22] I don't read about this stuff. [00:06:24] I'm seeing it in my clinics. [00:06:25] We have clinics from Fresno to San Diego and these things are spiking in our community. [00:06:30] These things will affect people for a lifetime, not for a season. [00:06:33] So let's make sure we're clear on that. [00:06:35] We've gone over the statistics. [00:06:36] Now I want to compare flu virus. [00:06:39] Is this significantly different? [00:06:41] Deaths per the CDC, 24,000 to 62,000 deaths each year. [00:06:46] We had about 45 million total cases in 2017 with about 62,000 deaths, or a 0.13 chance of death from flu in the United States. [00:06:58] As you know, our other numbers were 0.02. [00:07:01] So the lethality of COVID-19 is much less. [00:07:07] And then when you bring up a system of lockdown, you automatically have to compare it to a system of no lockdown. [00:07:13] The immune system is built by exposure to antigens, viruses, bacteria. [00:07:17] When you're a little child crawling on the ground, putting stuff in your mouth, viruses and bacteria come in, you form an antigen antibody complex, you form IgG, IgM. [00:07:27] This is how your immune system is built. [00:07:29] You don't take a small child, put them in bubble wrap in a room and say, go have a healthy immune system. [00:07:35] This is immunology microbiology 101. [00:07:38] What I'm seeing is when you take human beings and you say, go into your house, clean all your counters, Lysol them down, you're going to kill 99% of viruses and bacteria. [00:07:48] Wear a mask, don't go outside. [00:07:49] What does that do to our immune system? [00:07:51] Our immune system is used to touching. [00:07:54] We share bacteria, staphylococcus, streptococcal bacteria, viruses. [00:07:58] We develop an immune response daily to this stuff. [00:08:01] When you take that away from me, my immune system drops. [00:08:05] As I shelter in place, my immune system drops. [00:08:08] You keep me there for months, it drops more. [00:08:10] And now I'm at home hand washing vigorously, washing the counters, worried about things that are indeed what I need to survive. [00:08:18] When a child is in a womb, you're in this protected environment. [00:08:21] When you come out, you have almost no immune system. [00:08:23] You develop that through touching your mouth, touching your eyes, virus, bacteria, virus, bacteria, immune response, IgG, IgM. [00:08:31] This is how you build a strong immune system. [00:08:34] Sheltering in place decreases your immune system. [00:08:37] And then as we all come out of shelter in place with a lower immune system and start trading viruses and bacteria, what do you think is going to happen? [00:08:43] Disease is going to spike. [00:08:45] And then you've got disease spike amongst a hospital system with furloughed doctors and nurses. [00:08:50] This is not the combination we want to set up for a healthy society. [00:08:54] As your mask that you're wearing for days, you touch the outside of it, COVID, and then touch your mouth. [00:08:59] This doesn't make any sense. [00:09:01] We wear masks in an acute setting to protect us. [00:09:04] We're not wearing masks. [00:09:06] Why is that? [00:09:07] Because we understand microbiology, we understand immunology, and we want strong immune systems. [00:09:12] I don't want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system, and then come out and get diseased. [00:09:18] We have both been in the ER through swine flu and through bird flu. [00:09:22] Did we shut down for those? [00:09:24] Were they much less dangerous than COVID? [00:09:27] Is the flu less dangerous than COVID? [00:09:31] Let's look at the death rates. [00:09:32] No, it's not. [00:09:33] And when someone, what's interesting to me too is when someone dies in this country right now, they're not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke. [00:09:40] They say, do they die from COVID? [00:09:44] We've been to hundreds of autopsies. [00:09:46] You don't talk about one thing. [00:09:47] You talk about comorbidities. [00:09:50] Their vessels were narrowed. [00:09:52] Their lungs were a smoker. [00:09:54] COVID was part of it. [00:09:56] It is not the reason they died, folks. [00:09:58] It is one of many reasons. [00:10:00] So to be so simplistic, to say, that's a COVID death because they have COVID, you know how many people die with pneumonia or people that die from flu, with flu, I should say, it's not from flu. [00:10:12] Their lungs were compromised by COPD. [00:10:15] They had a heart attack two years ago. [00:10:17] They have a weakened body. [00:10:19] We aren't pressured to test for flu. [00:10:21] But ER doctors now, my friends that I talk to say, you know, it's interesting. [00:10:26] When I'm writing up my death report, I'm being pressured to add COVID. [00:10:30] Why is that? [00:10:32] Why are we being pressured to add COVID to maybe increase the numbers and make it look a little bit worse than it is? [00:10:38] I think so. [00:10:39] When I look at the basic tenets that we know of microbiology and I say, do we need to still shelter in place? [00:10:47] Our answer is emphatically no. [00:10:50] Do we need businesses to be shut down? [00:10:52] Emphatically no. [00:10:55] Do we need to test them and get them back to work? [00:10:58] Yes, we do. [00:10:59] The secondary effects that we went over, the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue, all these are, in our opinion, a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year. [00:11:16] We need to make sure if you're going to dance on someone's constitutional rights, you better have a good reason. [00:11:23] You better have a really good scientific reason and not just theory. [00:11:27] One of the most important things is we need our hospitals back up. [00:11:30] We need our furloughed doctors back. [00:11:31] We need our nurses back because when we lift this thing, we're going to need all hands on deck. [00:11:36] I know the local hospitals have closed two floors. [00:11:38] Folks, that's not the situation you want. [00:11:41] We're essentially setting ourselves up to have minimal staff and we're going to have significant disease. [00:11:46] That's the wrong combination. [00:11:48] And I've been working with some of the leaders and I've talked to the head of the CDPH. [00:11:53] I've gotten their opinion on this and a lot of the leaders in Sacramento. [00:11:57] And we're all in agreement. [00:11:59] But we need to have Governor Newsom in agreement with us to lift this ban. [00:12:05] I've talked to our local head of the health department, and he's waiting for that. [00:12:11] Even though they're in agreement with me, they're waiting for the powers that be to lift. [00:12:15] Because the data is showing us it's time to lift. [00:12:17] So if we don't lift, what is the reason? [00:12:20] I can go into Sully's right now, which I did this morning. [00:12:22] There were 25 people in there, and I can stand in line for 10 minutes, but I can't go in Cafe Rio and sit there for 10 minutes. [00:12:28] Does that make sense to you guys? [00:12:30] And I can go into Costco and I can shop with people, and there's probably a couple hundred people, but I can't go in Cafe Rio. [00:12:37] So big businesses are open, little businesses are not. [00:12:41] There's no science behind that, as we've gone over. [00:12:45] That is not science. [00:12:46] There's other factors in play that we don't have time to go into, but it's not science. [00:12:51] I want to make that clear. === Ammo Rush (00:50) === [00:12:53] They're going to use this model for different things. [00:12:56] We got a bomb threat from China. [00:12:57] Everybody stay in their home for three months. [00:12:58] What? [00:13:00] They are using this to see how much of their freedom can they take from you. [00:13:05] And will you roll over and stay in your house? [00:13:08] And it's working. [00:13:12] And if you notice the way Americans are responding, if you go to any gun store in town, guess what they're out of? [00:13:17] Ammo. [00:13:19] None of them have ammo. [00:13:20] I went to three of them. [00:13:21] They said thousands of rounds have been bought. [00:13:23] Why? [00:13:24] People are mad. [00:13:25] They're starting to post on my Facebook with their AKs going, let's roll. [00:13:29] So what I'm saying is, let's avoid all that. [00:13:33] Because if you stomp on our freedoms, that has one ending, and it's violence. [00:13:42] All right.
