Novel Ideas on Coronavirus 3/18/20 - What you aren't being told.

hi my name is rich Roberts richardroberts I'm a medical doctor I also have a doctorate a PhD in biophysics I got them at University of Pennsylvania I trained in internal medicine internship at Harvard and I was a CEO in the pharmaceutical industry for 24 years this video is about the corona virus but I'm not going to just give you a rehash of all the things that you've heard all over the news and all over people's videos I'm going to give you some novel insights novel ideas and also this video will be both for them were the more sophisticated or scientifically trained people plus for everyone who does not have a formal scientific education I hope everyone will find the information here very very useful what I'm going to speak about the topics are the extent of the disease across the country and I'm really interested in the United States then the economic impact but I don't but I don't mean just a grand economy I'm not talking about what's happening to people individually and what the issues are and how they're going to deal with it then I'm going to talk about the stock market both what the stock market is telling us in terms of information is a lot of false information going out there I have to tell you by the way I've seen medical experts on they absolutely don't know what they're talking about some of them not all of them but some of them so also is having been a CEO in the pharmaceutical industry there's a lot of false information out there from companies giving false hope I'm going to give a dose of reality to all of it I've dealt with thing I drug approvals I've dealt with the FDA I understand the medical consequences now so I'm going to try to give to you now then I'm going to speak about geopolitical aspects of this they're very critical geopolitical s because I think people are not thinking of then we go into the medical issues again not general things that you've heard everywhere hopefully some new ideas also some information you can look up yourself and then we'll get to including a potential cure and then we'll get to conclusion so first I do my notes the extent of the disease the government okay the united states government and i speak about the government I mean the United States has the authorities have now told us that they're not no longer trying for containment the trying for mitigation in other words it used to be if they found out used to be meaning two weeks ago three weeks ago in the United States if the government saw that somebody tested positive for coronavirus they were then not called karana just for short they would trot the government we're trying to find out everyone that everywhere they were everyone that they that they interacted with and then you know try to track those people down get them all in isolation that's to contain it contain the virus from spreading vertically everywhere now I told my family I was watching this virus spreading in it when it started out in China going back in early January I told my family we have a family chat that I this is very dangerous I don't see any way this can be contained because of the incubation period that's the issue when everyone when anyone talks to you about stay away from somebody with a fever somewhere the fever and a cough they're just missing the boat the issue of this is if someone who gets the flu when they get infected with the flu that with a flu virus they generally come down with symptoms within one to two days so they don't walk around infecting everyone the issue with this virus is that people are frequently can take up to 14 days that they are infected with the virus they're walking around infecting everyone around them and they don't even know it before the minute it could take 14 days so they come down with symptoms now there are your reports out of China that it could take up to four weeks before people that start to show symptoms what that means is you cannot contain this virus when you see videos of people in airports take you know a little temperature done and they're putting out two people's foreheads taking their temperatures this is just so misleading I just can't believe it it doesn't matter look you don't want to be around somebody if they're coughing and they and they have a fever physically they could there could likely very likely they do of coronavirus at this point but that's that doesn't stop the disease from spreading the government has finally been fully open with the public no longer can they try to contain the disease you can try to protect yourself by being in isolation and if you want a video on that I can give you no details on the recommendations but the idea that we're going to stop it from spreading it to virtually everybody except those who are really maintaining strict containment it's just false and misleading now I want to show you two graphs these come from a great website called world oh meters dot info wo rld Oh love the letter o meters plural amici ers dot info now this is shown the United States active cases as of March 16th look this is this is the days let's see this starts at February 15th it goes to March 16th and you can see what's happening with the number of active cases they're just going up and starting to go up in it and a hyperbolic rate now this is the deaths now understand this is where we are a country of 330 million people as of March 16th there were less than 100 deaths but look at how the curve is going this is the days February to March if so it is going hyperbolically upwards and that's that's the point this is not going to be contained and the deaths are going to start coming fast and furious fast and furious as well as the people who are getting sick from it now it's on top of the economic impact this virus is an economic catastrophe make no mistake about it the stock market has reacted with that knowledge but people are not going to be going to work I feel my heart breaks for store restaurants retail stores stores and malls service industry theaters entertainment places there this is just the harsh reality there there economically going down many many of them going to go out of business the only thing government government can do now is to siddur this to be like a state of war where if we would spend a trillion dollars to fund the military in a state of war who got to spend that trillion dollars trying to give money and try just to save individual people who are out of work and also companies small businesses from going out of business now the largest corporations the wealthiest ones that have cash they'll survive this but the danger is and and and that most suffering is going to be by most businesses which are small businesses in America they are they're really the economic heartbeat of America and they're going to get crushed also Wall Street will tell you that the economic boom that we have has been consumer driven it's been driven by people going out and buying things people are not gonna go out now people are going to be saving money rightfully so people are gonna have the money to spend you we had an unbelievably vigorous Trump economy things were booming unemployment was very low feet was the blue is a blue-collar boom the average worker he's bringing jobs back to the United States unfortunately because of this virus things are going to are crashing right before our eyes so the government is going to have to use money to try to support individuals and small companies to get them through this let's see now there are people who live on government assistance there's no new programs needed for them they're still going to get the government check it's the people that work for a living who are now going to be laid off there simply isn't going to be business you know to support them they're the ones going to need the check in and I have to tell you you know thank God the government is doing continuing to look into ways of getting money to these people who would have with their integrity with their dedication they were working at jobs they're making money and now they're simply gonna have to be supported I don't believe with loans I believe with grants money that's not to be paid back now there is when you start giving out tons of money like this there's going to be corruption there going to be people getting money you don't deserve it tonight I want to say we have to accept that some corruption is going to occur now and just we have to trust that the law enforcement criminal enforcement agencies will take their investigate do their investigations after we get through the crisis but right now it's all hands on deck right now we've got to get people through this period of time now I want to talk about the elderly there are going to be millions of elderly people who are going to pass away during this virus they are the most exposed group I'm going to talk about them a little later with some hard facts it's interesting perversely interesting I just don't even want to say this but I am this could change actually acts actually the whole economic situation when it comes to Social Security and Medicare and benefits like that with this stepwise reduction in the elderly population you don't want it and I have to say it's for a good sign of a healthy society that young people are very concerned for their older grandparents am I'm one of them but just watch it there there could be a profound affect on Social Security if there is a dramatic stepwise reduction in in the elderly population now I'm going to talk about the stock market first a disclaimer I'm not telling anybody I'm not some responsibility for anybody's whether they buy they sell they invest but let's look at what the stock market has to tell people what lessons it has for us and also I'll give you some some of my opinions on investing now people analysts are talking about that this catastrophe economically is more like 911 than it is 2008 in 2008 because people were default defaulting on their mortgages banks didn't have money that's called liquidity they didn't have the money to give depositors that's not happening here the banks have plenty of money and the government is going to make sure that the banks have plenty of plenty of cash that no matter what the government is going is the banks are going to be able to give you the cash when you want it so it doesn't look like 2008 in that regard also 2008 was sort of built up on a false economy housing prices going up and up and up people borrowing against us those housing values not having actually worked for anything and then the housing bangers came down crash it doesn't look like 2008 in 9/11 when the World Trade Centers came down there's also a stock market crash but this is not that situation at all because when the World Trade Centers came down and the stock market crashed people still went out to stores people still went out for entertainment people spent money people still went to their jobs they were still producing goods which is the basis of the economy that's not what we're facing here either and that's why this is really a severe catastrophe because you're talking about now a major reduction hit a stepwise hit in the productivity of the country the country producing services and goods and and people losing their jobs and small businesses going out of business big companies but a lot of money can survive restaurants I'm sorry to say most of them are not going to make it all these retail stores I think most of them are not going to make it it breaks my heart to say this this is a real true Mehcad economic catastrophe were facing also experts will tell you that we have been in a consumer-driven economy I mentioned this earlier the consumers buying goods the people that the the middle class that main the main population of the country working at jobs getting paid producing things and going out and then buying things which causes companies to be able to hire more people keep people employed the money generates that's coming to an end here the consumer is not going to be going up to these stores and and that's really what we're looking at as a really real economic catastrophe here this is not going to snap back right after you know it's not gonna be like a point where all sudden it snaps back because companies go out of business they don't list elite just start up new new businesses again restaurants are going to go out of business they don't have product they don't have food of the customers don't necessarily just all all the sudden it's like a race starts the gun goes off and every all the races start right it's not going to just not like that so this is going to be a sustained economic downturn I'm messin for years and years but realistically four months six months eight months and it's going to be real economic damage from that they're gonna be as I said before millions of funerals and I want to just go through some charts one one world Oh meters dot info you'll know you can find this chart which which has this table which has the death rates per age group you'll find their own world of meters now also go on the internet so it says people 80 years and above the death rate for all cases not meaning people that are confirmed but you just assume that a lot of people are affected that we don't even know about so that lowers the numbers so we're not so much confirmed looking people are confirmed F coronavirus over 80 years of age 22% died one in five people died still the death rate to take all the cases you're looking at 15% dime 70 to 79 years old is 8% death rate and 60 to 69 years old the three point six percent death rate what does that mean so just you know mean it got this off the internet legitimate site look at the population of the country by age and then just multiply how many people are in that age group times the death rate for that age group and that's what I've done here I'll hold it up but I'm going to read the numbers out to you because it'll go too quickly for you to see briefly we're looking at from 60 to 69 years old 1.3 million deaths 70 to 79 years old 1.8 million deaths 80 years and older 1.8 million deaths the total number of deaths were looking at just from people 60 and above is 4.9 million now that's if they don't have any diseases if you look at we call it comorbidities that means someone who is sick with more than one medical diagnosis when more than one illness at a time we go to another chart gear which is the death rates by comorbidity meaning if someone has another disease here's what it looks like but I'm going to read it out to you just briefly taking the best case scenario people have diabetes 7% death rate high blood pressure hypertension 6% death rate a chronic respiratory disease is 6% cardiovascular disease of heart disease 10% so without looking at any of the other diseases just looking the pure age you're talking about 4.9 million deaths in just the 60 and older group if you have in one them having one your disease like high blood pressure which most older people have diabetes you're looking at 15 million deaths from coronavirus in the United States now that explains why the governments of the world are freaked out that's what's going on here how many people died from the flu each year in the United States or an average average flu we lose 35,000 people a year that's a regular flip regular flu season it generally generally ranges from 15,000 deaths to about 59 thousand deaths that's that means you get yummy but so take an average it's called 35,000 deaths we're looking at 15 million and I'm gonna fold this paper over so you can see I'm gonna Express 35,000 as Satan in terms of millions that shows you 15 million versus 0.035 million from flu so I'm a 15 million for chrono virus and that's it that's a conservative figure this is much more deadly than the flu and that's why this is really catastrophe now going on again I'm not taking responsibility for your investing decisions but you know is supposed to buy low and sell high well the stock market has already crashed it's down 25 30 percent if you're panicked when you see that number and you sell you're not buying low and selling high you're selling low you're giving your money away is this the bottom nobody knows but yeah but I strongly believe the economy is coming back and I believe that you'd be well served not to sell and if you can buy now is the time to buy but to buy low the markets on the stock truck is only low and everybody's saying the world is coming to an end so you're gonna have to have the guts the courage and the conviction to buy low and hold on to it and don't look at it don't look at it for years and I think that you're going to be greatly rewarded now what are the best investments at this point I'm going to speak what looks like conceptually but it's really true the best investment in the in the stock market is the United States of America if you compare all the countries in the world we have industrious hardworking people which is not what every country in the world has we have freedom we have democracy and we have reward of people who produce a lot of company countries the world don't have that if there's one country that should come roaring back from this and even dominate after this it is the United States of America starting to get political on you but we need to hope the President Trump gets reelected the success the boom that we've had especially for the middle class the jobs coming back to America um the blue the blue-collar boom that we've had is because the policies of President Trump has has enacted economically in the country now Democrats will try to blame President Trump for what's happened now we don't have enough test kids for example I want to give you two insights into this the first thing is China which has done the most testing of any country of its people at last last time I looked at it they checked just recently they checked they vet they've done coronavirus checks on about 430 people and of every 1 million people basically almost everybody doesn't get checked where you have one test per million or 430 tests per million most people are not getting checked it's it's a ridiculous thing to try to claim that President Trump is somehow responsible for this issue I'll give you another aspect to this President Clinton was was blamed and criticized by a lot of people for not killing Osama bin Laden in radio after the 2003 World Trade uh I'm sorry yeah it wasn't 2003 I'm sorry I forget the exact date who was 1990 was the 1997 we're at you're bombing of the World Trade Centers when a car karch a bombs we're truck bombs are put in the basement if plate blew up it didn't it didn't bring down the World Trade Center but the government knew the summit and Laden was involved and at one point we had our missiles trained in on our sights on Osama bin Laden and Bill Clinton President Clinton did not get the order to kill Osama bin Laden people have criticized President Clinton for this it's wrong it's a wrong criticism here's the reason I'm sorry to say this I'm just speaking the truth most people don't believe something most people don't react to something most people won't take major risks until there's their slapped in the face with it until there's bodies in the street that's the sad truth after the World Trade Centers came down in in 9/11 nobody had almost nobody had any doubt that we had to go to war and that we were being attacked but but blaming President Clinton for not launching missiles on years before that the public very likely would not have gone for that that would have criticized him investigated him claimed as a war monger the same things going on here with with President Trump and these testing kits if he would have been started spending huge amounts of money on some virus that's in China that the government is concerned about then you'd have all these people I'd what are you worried about you're spending all this money who's getting the contracts and it didn't make a difference anyway the testing kits are not going up never going are not going to be able to to give us the answers that we need to give us sampling around now let's go on Tibet so to invest in United States the safest way to do it is there's three stock symbols one is called dia the others spwhy and the other is QQQ those are index funds they buy the Dow Jones Industrial Average the sp500 or they buy the Nasdaq top companies that's the best way to invest anybody tells you this company that company almost no one ever makes money doing that invest in America investing in those in those broad measures of the economy the risks of investing now there's also risks of not investing the risk of investing money now is the stock market could go lower as I always say in a catastrophe the stock market goes to zero and the economy completely collapses what do you care your money's not worth anything anyway so I think you go ahead and invest on the other side if you don't invest money now and a cure comes out which I'm going to speak about soon then if a cure is announced the stock market is going up is going to leap upward by eight or ten thousand points in a single day that's my opinion and you'll miss it you're not gonna have time to react to that so I think the time to invest is now the way smart people do it and in my company once we got billionaire billionaire type investors involved in the company and I got to meet billionaire types of investing people the way they do it is they always do things partially they invest some of their money now when things are down if things shoot up - there's a cure great they make money ah what if I would have messed it all my money now they never they never do that they never think that way and then if things go down substantially further they have more money to invest along the way and if things shoot up also majorly they can sell along the way the thing is going up further they sell half that's how the there's more people and major major investors do it now going into geopolitical ramifications I do I am NOT a conspiracy theory believing type of guy you know you know I just think it's did land on the moon if you don't know it if you're believing this crazy conspiracy theories then just know that China and the Soviet Union Communist Soviet Union at the time who are who are both our adversaries they didn't doubt it if they didn't doubt it then even I'm telling it's true similarly different people say 9/11 oh it's a conspiracy this government that government baloney al-qaeda took credit ekkada was was proud of it al-qaeda kitchener to try to do it it's just ridiculous some I'm not against I don't believe in conspiracy theories so what I'm about to tell you is not a conspiracy theory I think that this really has about a 98% chance of being true this coronavirus that we're dealing with though understand there are thousands of coronaviruses some of them only cause colds no big deal I truly believe with 98% certainty that this is a Chinese government bio weapon is the biological weapon developed by the Chinese government this is carrot this is as the government as the governor of New York stated recently this is like the flu on steroids it's like they took the chrono virus and they changed it to make it much much more lethal and highly contagious the Chinese government first tried to tell people that it came out of this wet market weather where people were we're buying live facts and and snakes and alligators but investigators have gone there tested these animals there's no coronavirus there now the Chinese government is trying to claim that the United States government yawns its military made this this is a Chinese bio weapon and the Chinese government knows it and I believe the Western governments will know this also for a fact and the reason why they're not telling you this right now which is good they shouldn't be discussing this right now is let's deal with a crisis right now let's get through this catastrophe try to save people try to get people better as quickly as we can and try to keep people in quarantine and now without containment we're trying now mitigation which is try to at least slow down the rate at which people are going to get affected by the way saw some expert on the stock market say yesterday this is all going to be over two weeks because people they carry the virus for 14 days everybody's going to be in quarantine for 14 days the ones that are sick will stay there and the ones that are okay will will come out for 14 days this would be going to 14 days nope sorry it's not there funny people and we're not going to keep the quarantine this it's almost impossible in in a free country to keep a quarantine is a level that a dictatorship like China can do so it's going to be spread out stretched out the government wants to stay is going to be over quickly but it but on the other hand the government wants to spread out or stretch out the time it's going to take for this virus to hit most people so that the hospitals will be able to deal with more of the sick people this house it was only have a certain level of capacity and the number of people are gonna come into or we're already coming in sick toss rolls is way beyond their ability to take care of people it's way beyond that already so you want to hopefully slow down the rate that people are getting sick so that at least you know as these people who are on respirators either die or you get better you'll have others live in the future get sick and build the respirators and not have the majority all at once you can't get on to respirators so that's what the strategy is here but it's not going to it's not going to get better anytime soon but after so after this is done that's when I believe and I expect our leaders the Western world and amid the rest of the world also I believe are going to make multi trillion-dollar claims against China how China is going to react to that obviously it's gonna be quite negative what will happen in terms of conflict after that I don't know maybe it'll be a worldwide boycott of China ongoing knowing that but but when you hear the government saying oh the issue here is that the Chinese government knew about how bad this was they didn't tell people early on that's not that's not the reason why China is to blame China is to blame because this is Chinese weapon that got out of a Chinese laboratory and is now causing mass destruction upon the world now medical aspects of this first is a disclaimer you should go see you talk to your your licensed medical doctor and don't listen to me great that's into that now I talked about world no meters that info it's a fantastic place to get information the majority of the information that we have about how this virus acts is in this from China and you need to know that there are there are racial differences the differences between races of people is not just the color of the skin it's not just the height it's not just the structure of faces is though there are also chemical differences between people this may not be politically correct I can tell you in medicine in medicine we don't shy away from discussing racial aspects of differences because it's important to treating people we try to treat everybody bye man retired but it meant that physicians medical science tries to treat everybody but there clearly differences for example we know that sickle cell anemia occurs almost only in black people we know that thalassemia is beta beta thalassemia you'll find in Mediterranean inner Mediterranean population taste axe disease they people in the United States it's mostly it's inherent in it these are all genetic diseases it's it's in Jews but it's it's not chicken Ozzy choose because in the area of Eastern Europe the most Ashkenazi Jews in United States come from that's where everybody Jewish you're not Jewish that's where tay-sachs occurs so they definitely chemical differences but people tend to have less lower white blood cell count some white people white blood cells are the cells that fight infections like viruses typically when you do the test on a blood test you'll find that black people will have white blood cell counts frequently around 3,000 you know to know what the density measurements are exactly let's go three and white people generally have about six to eight in white blood cells so you might say oh boy so black people have less white blood cells are going to move they're gonna they're gonna be less able to fight off this virus that might be true or it might be the opposite a lot of the damage of this virus is that it sets off the immune system and it could be white people with more immune cells will have those immune cells get to set off and do more damage than black people have done to them by the virus we don't know but just know that when we're looking at Chinese data as the vast majority of what we have we don't know how that translates into American data and do it for Americans for Hispanics which are predominantly white black and Hispanics also there's a there's a receptor on cells called ACE angiotensin converting enzyme you don't need to know about this you don't need to know the details but it's on the lungs it's on the cells in the lung and that is as well some other places in the body and that's what this virus attaches to to get into the cells which is why this is attacking so much so much predominantly the respiratory system how that is going to be a chain is how that's going to be different between races I don't I don't know we don't know how that's going to be different we'll see people tell you there's gonna be a slumber a summer slow down because the flu slows down in this summer we don't know that if you look in warm climates this this virus right now in countries that are there on warm climates this virus right now is taking off very effectively so we wait with sorry about that so we just don't know if that's gonna change now let's talk about cures first it is well known among physicians that people who have viral infections of a throat sore throat if they will use zinc lozenges so there's sucking on the zinc a lozenge so the zinc is constantly bathing the back of their throat so the virus there is always getting bathed and think that that will help to defeat a viral viral infection there is some there there is no please listen to the end of this don't just take the first sentence there is some evidence some not fully proven to a full medical scientific conclusion there is some evidence that zinc will defeat corona virus inside the cells the cells the body but here is the problem the problem is the following they're the biggest cell that you know is an egg picture an a I sure want an egg for you to look at me the shell of the egg is like an outside of a cell what's inside the egg is the inside of the cell and what's outside the egg meaning inside you're looking your body is all the is all the the water and the connective tissue and the blood you know the blood those are outside outside the shell of the egg now you know that fat and water oil and water don't mix that's why if you put you pour oil into a little cup of water the oil will float you mix them up shake them up and the oil separates it comes to the top because they don't that want they don't dissolve in each other the shell of an egg not to get nutmeg but this did Majan the shell of an egg is like the outside of the cell that's made of fat not the shell beneath the outside of the cell that shell is made of fat water can't dissolve in that inside this cell was water outside this cell is water the zinc dissolves in water so if you take sink by mouth it goes into the water outside the cell fine but a virus Chiz onto the outside of the cell and it goes inside the cell and that's where it reproduces called replication and just and this very little thing gets in there so you need to make a holes in the cell that will allow zinc in if you just make any random holes in the cell you'll kill the cell and die but there are there is scientific evidence that there are some drugs that are common very cheap that might make holes in the cell that well allow zinc in and this might cure people who are sick with coronavirus we don't know until the full scientific experiments are done there is there are from physicians some reports though that they believe they've had success in some patients those drugs are chloroquine which is used for malaria also hi Chuck hydroxychloroquine a brand name is Plaquenil these are all available generically very it's very common drug do not go out and buy it do not go out and take it I do not you don't need to take zinc it's not to get inside the cells you need to wait until we get more scientific evidence but this might work and if it does it would be miraculous save a miraculous turnaround for us there are other drugs being worked on by companies companies put out big statements though then we're going on a thousand drugs blah blah blah okay the news needs to talk about something financial news have to talk about something people who run companies what their stock price to go up until was a drug that's shown to really work don't get too excited about it so far we don't have anything proven to work and don't get your hopes up I think the zinc thing with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine or some other common drugs may work but we'll see we don't know yet and that's why I say and investing in the stock market someone who doesn't invest now is also taking the risk because if it does turn out from widespread reports that that hydroxychloroquine the zinc works bang just you'll see a turn around quickly the best place to get information that you know is legitimate is CDC gov it stands for the Centers for Disease Control CDC gov there's a whole lot of government agencies and people that are ineffective but cdc.gov/scienceclips to get information concluding here we really are in a situation now because to war there is a I believe on with almost certainty not certain but almost certainty that we've been struck by a weapon from a foreign government they didn't intentionally attack us they were sloppy it got out and it hit them first but now we're suffering the consequences and in a sense they bombed our cities or our government is going to have to spend a trillion plus dollars to keep people who work for a living with their paychecks you give everybody a thousand dollars now a thousand dollars now that's not the right thing to do people don't work for a living who get government assistance they they don't they don't need they don't need to get more money it's the people that work for living and lose their jobs they need money and it's the companies that employ them they need money and I hate to say it but it's not we're not talk about loans you know if you spend all that millions all those were that trillion on tanks and and bombs and bullets and then the stuff gets destroyed this stuff gets obsolete you don't get that money back this is good this is gonna have to get further debt burden that our country takes on after this is over then we'll talk about reparations from China until then it's all hands on deck
