Most individuals will have a coronavirus-caused cold many times during their lifetime.
Alpha genus coronavirus species HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63, and beta genus coronavirus species HCoV-HKU1 and HCoV-OC43 cause the common cold.
The mortality rate for SARS-CoV-2 is lower than that of winter or seasonal flu (A(H1N1)/(H3N2)).
S-VoC / N501Y variant SARS-CoV-2 infections increase during lockdowns.
In the winter December 2019 – March 2020 there were 28,300 excess winter deaths in England and Wales. In the preceding two winters there were 23,200 deaths in December 2018 – March 2019 and 49,410 in deaths in December 2017 – March 2018 (source: Office for National Statistics).
‘Excess winter deaths’ are the additional deaths that occur in the winter months that do not occur over the rest of the year and therefore can be deduced to be down to the colder temperature.
Over the past five years, an average 17,000 people per year died from seasonal or winter flu (A(H1N1) or A(H3N2)) in England.
In winter 2014-15 the figure was as high as 28,330 (source: Public Health England).
Approximately 48,000 people died of sepsis last year in the United Kingdom (source: University of Washington).
Globally,
between 290,000 and 650,000 people die annually from seasonal or winter flu;
between 21,000 and 143,000 people die annually from cholera;
between 600,000 and over one million people die annually from dysentery (source: World Health Organisation).
Guidance On Remaining Healthy Through Not Following Government Advice
- Maintain a decent level of vitamin D by getting outside as much as you can and if you think you are vitamin D deficient, consider a supplement. Aim for at least 25ug/1000UI per day and don’t exceed 100ug/4000UI per day.
- Be aware of viral load. Don’t stay indoors in close proximity to the same individuals for sustained periods of time. Go outside and move freely as often as you want.
- Come into contact with other people. Encourage persistent antigen exposure, especially to the common cold. This conserves memory T cells from previous exposure to common cold-causing coronaviruses, which then provide an SARS-CoV-2-specific adaptive immune response upon primary exposure to SARS-CoV-2 antigen.
- Don’t wear a non-surgical face covering. It restricts the expulsion of mucal excreta through normal exhalation. It causes re-inhalation of any infected mucal excreta that increases viral load in the upper respiratory tract. This reduces the opportunity for viral clearance and increases disease severity in those who are symptomatic as a result of SARS-CoV-2’s burst size of 103.
- Chill out. Vasodilation, especially through exposure to daylight, is a good thing and is the effective counterfunction to vasoconstriction. Avoid getting stressed or panicked by government propaganda.
- Use your common sense. SARS-CoV-2 is less dangerous than seasonal or winter flu. It may be more infectious but so is the common cold. Act as you would if you had a cold or the flu.
- Avoid BNT126b2 and ChAdOx1. They will not provide sterilising immunity meaning you can still catch SARS-CoV-2 as the antiviral will not provide you with secretory IgA stimulation in your upper respiratory tract. Your own innate immune response (including pattern recognition receptors TLR7 & TLR8) will detect the antigen, attack it and destroy it in 99.6% of cases. Your own innate immune system is way more effective than any vaccine or antiviral.
Do not panic. Do not worry. Do not follow government advice.
