welcome back to part two of my sixth YouTube video and coronavirus by the way now that you're already into this everything I say is predicated upon us not having yet discovered a drug that cures this disease or a vaccine being developed that's available to everybody to vaccinate against it once that occurs then we're in great shape yes from the severe has been shown to reduce hospitalizations from 14 days to 10 days that doesn't stop people from dying and also invest vir is an injectable drug you can't take it to prevent the disease now let's go back to hydroxychloroquine hydroxy God I think I was the first in the country to warn about hydroxychloroquine because of because it's something called a for Quinta line which is a chemical family and my company had the first approval the first FDA neutral approval on on quinine which with one chemical change becomes a chloroquine with another chemical change becomes hydroxychloroquine and in in what and but those other drugs hadn't been studied because they were old drugs like we did when we got our quinine approval and we have on our package labeled my son retired from the company now for a lot of years but we have on that label is that macrolide antibiotics like azithromycin will can increase can interfere with the livers ability to break down hydroxy but to break down quinine and you would expect since it's a similar chemical group hydroxychloroquine is that it would also cause hydroxychloroquine levels to also rise Chris hydroxychloroquine cannot be broken down by the liver the point is that this studies now very concerning studies done across a lot of people retrospectively that show that giving hydroxychloroquine and I don't know how many these people took erythromycin also caused a great increase in the number of heart attacks and the great increase in the percentage of deaths of people who are very sick with coronavirus but there's still studies going on when a drug see chloroquine to see if it can be used to prevent chronic virus or to treat in the very early stages but as I said maybe a month and a half ago we can look on the back from the YouTube videos that taking hydroxychloroquine like this is something that people should at least get it and not your cardiogram done and always be done under the care of a of their licensed medical professional okay so let's move on the other thing we need is we need everybody to stay at home for at least two months hopefully four or five six months and that's done across the world and this thing will die out now why can't we do this obviously first of all you need lots of essential services but there's another issue what is it dollar worth what is a dollar is a dollar worth anything you can't to eat it I mean I get to be crazy you could but it's cellulose you don't have the enzymes digest it you can't put it in your gas tank and drive your car so what is the dollar worth the answer is a dollar is worth and this is a very critical fundamental in economics a dollar is worth the goods or the services that it can buy so if you can take that dollar and you can buy a spoonful of butter then that's what it's worth if you can buy a pound of butter that's what it's worth if you can buy a hundred pounds of butter that's what a dollar is worth so there's a certain number of dollars in existence I know we're printing more but for the most part certain number in existence and the country that is producing the goods and services that are behind that dollar that are giving that dollar value has stopped not a hundred percent but substantially stopped now you can't do that you simply can't do that you have to go on the economy must function we must produce goods we must provide services otherwise you're looking at a at a potential economic catastrophe by the way as a note if you look back on my old videos if you were to bought stocks when I told you to you would have made a lot of money that's how the here that they are sorry okay so what happens when a country doesn't make enough goods or services makes very little of them and yet has a lot of dollars around I'm going to show you ten trillion dollars you heard me right I'm going to show you ten trillion dollars here it is hold it closer to the camera that is ten trillion dollars and it is from the country of Zimbabwe and it says on it ten trillion dollars it was real money Zimbabwe has since throwing away the currency by the way we can buy those on the eBay for like a like a dollar each you can't do anything with it it's just a fun thing so we have no choice economically we must be producing goods therefore we cannot have everyone stay in quarantine so now what is the answer this is what we have to do we have to tell everyone you can leave your homes you can go back to work you can do whatever you were doing before as long as you wear a face mask and the government needs to implement in my opinion draconian punishments for being found off your property without a face mask I would propose at a five thousand dollar fine or 1% of your annual income so wealthy people don't think well I'll just do it who cares like pay the five thousand bucks 1% of your annual income for each time the person is cited for not for being outside off their property without a mask now the mask is not to protect yourself from others and that's why the masks don't have to be virus sitting masks the mask you're wearing is to protect other people not to protect you not to protect you to protect the other people should be because when you when you talk or you laugh or or you sneeze or cough little droplets of saliva or mucus fly out of the mouth and the virus rides on them so you just need to have something over the face that will catch those particles so they won't go and infect other people and then with that you got to feel let everybody just go back to work now now here's some issues I don't know what to do about bathrooms there are medical studies scientific studies showing that in commercial bathrooms commercial toilets where they have like a like a jet engine flashing a burner like that that it aerosol eise's it shoots a lot of the germs into the air and if you test the the handles for the faucets you test the walls you'll find that the bacteria from the excrement is all over bathrooms we know that coronavirus can be excreted in the stool and we know P some people get their chief symptom from coronavirus is diarrhea so I don't know what the answer is to me something like the government has to test if you put I'm making this up now if you put a hundred cc's of of klore of um chlorine or or bleach into the toilet bowl each time would this stop that from happening I don't know you have to have other provisions put in place also you have people have to bring their own lunches the cantina in a company cafeteria where they can't eat in a in a young in a school cafeteria they have to eat at their desks people if their own offices have to stay in their cubicles and not go to another cubicle people and I on a young on a production line a manufacturing line enough to stay in their spot and not go to other spots there'd be a lot after you a lot of controls put in place and social distance distance things should continue but we simply can't stay in place anymore plus it won't work there are too many people that are violating social distancing laws and in quarantine rules and that's been going on since the beginning I so studies done your surveys done showing that a better about only 60% of people in the general public were taking quarantine seriously I can tell you in my Orthodox Jewish community of Lakewood the place was like a ghost town yes there are a few violations here are they are for the number of violations that happen in our community were very very small compared to the number that we're going on and some of them in many other communities or cities around around the state so but the trouble is there are a lot of people have not taken it seriously plus you're gonna have to open up International Travel you know people with the chrono virus traveling in stop taking temperatures stop taking temperatures I said this two months ago three months ago in late January I said taking temperatures is a farce it doesn't stop anything you got to stop taking temperatures it doesn't work the issue is before people get the fever that's when they're when that's when they're infectious and nobody would know it hopefully people know now they have when they when they when they feel sick they have to get tested for corona virus now I want to speak to you about some false statements or false presentations that have been made some of them are not false because people intend to mislead you they're false because the people are being imprecise with their language here's one one of the major national news sources said people just want to know when it's safe to go out here's I want to tell you it will never be safe to go out never and I'm sure this it will never be safe to go out there's about forty or fifty thousand people a year that die in car crashes there are there's crime there are people have slip and fall there's there are viruses there bacteria there's drowning accidents there are people not in traffic accidents cuz they're driving they get hit by cars there's lightning there's meteors it will never be safe to go out okay a big and wise guy right because they mean when will it be safe to go out in terms of coronavirus that's not the right question necessarily we we all manage risk in our lives people who are at higher levels of professional management of business or money they all make calculated assessments of risk but you make you take risks all the time you all know that when you go out in a car you might die in a car accident you know that but you've weighed in your mind consciously or unconsciously that the risk of dying in a car accident is well worth the advantage the travelling in cars gives you if you want to live a long life now please anybody with anorexia nervosa I don't mean you you need a doctor but being slim not being overweight by the way being being obese it looks like might be the number one risk factor for dying from coronavirus but we're all aware that that being overweight is is a risk to health it's a risk for heart attack stroke cancer and many other ailments and yet so many of us and I'm not saying that I'm immune to this I guess immune was it was a was a bad choice or a pun but we eat too much and thank God we have the foo T but we make it we make of it we make a decision we make we make a decision we make a risk calculation I'll tell you something when I was at Harvard I did a rotation through the cardiac intensive care unit and there there were many patients who had smoked like four packs a day for like 40 years they gave up smoking immediately why because they had a tube through their groin up their aorta into their hearts with a balloon pumping for them until they could get a heart transplant now they decide the risk wasn't worth it so they made a very bad judgment or risk calculation so we all take risks in our lives so the question is how much increased risk is there to our lives if we are out of quarantine and we go out and stop social distancing the answer is first of all if you're under fifty maybe under sixty and you're generally in good health you're not obese the risks are probably very small not zero but small and by the way about half the cases of people getting sick with coronavirus are people under the age of forty and when we talk about the risk of dying yes those risks really increase over over 50 especially over sixty and then way over 70 they also increase greatly with diabetes with hypertension with pulmonary disease with obesity and there's some others but if everyone would wear masks such that the government like I said strictly enforced wearing of masks then I think I don't know but I think that everyone could basically almost everyone except those at the very highest risk categories could go about living their normal lives inside inside their own homes of course but also outside their homes what's happened now that with Memorial Day and and a lot of people are just like broken loose well and ignored the quarantine and social distancing guidelines I strongly suspect with about a 95% certainty five percents not zero but a ninety-five percent certainty and I'm not pleased to say it if I think that we're on the verge of sing in the next two weeks maybe even the next few days a massive massive outbreak of corona virus across this country so is it safe to go out if everyone's mirroring if everyone is wearing masks then the risk of getting corona virus has been minimized and given the other risks that we take in our lives yes everyone should go out of course you have to speak your own laces medical doctor to help you make your own decision this is this is my opinion though and we need to go out I mean to jumpstart this economy full speed ahead and the people that are ignoring social distancing and ignoring wearing masks they're not helping us they're hurting us because I think they're going to throw us back into a wave of infections numbers far exceeding what we already have had and by the way we're still having about 20,000 new cases every day in the United States we've had over 106,000 deaths so far
