A Journal of the Plague Year – Are the Numbers Bogus?

Darrell Castle talks about how the Center for Disease Control (CDC) may have influenced the infection and death numbers through flawed testing. Transcription / Notes A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR—ARE THE NUMBERS BOGUS Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, April 10, 2020, Good Friday or the Friday before Easter, so I bring you good news today, or at least I have chosen to call it good. The news is the virus all the time, all news is virus news. This is the 21st day of quarantine for the Castle family. It’s been 21 days since we met another human being face to face let alone shake hands with someone. We are allowed out once per day for exercise, which is usually a brisk walk around our neighborhood while giving all other walkers a wide birth. The family daughter, stuck on a small island at the bottom of the world managed to survive a category 5 cyclone that ravaged her island, but she and her husband are currently in cleanup mode, so we are grateful for that. There is good news coming from America and other parts of the world as declining infection and death numbers indicate that we are at least starting to turn the corner. The estimated death projections for the US have been revised downward to 60,000. Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York reports that there has been a drop in the infection rate and in the rate of fatalities in New York. President Trump said that we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. International hot spots, such as Italy and Spain, are also seeing a decline in infections and fatalities. Austria and Denmark have announced that they will lift the quarantine orders and go back to work April 14. So, is the worst really behind us? Is the virus losing the war and on the verge of surrender? When the Spanish Flu epidemic hit some 100 years ago, we just let nature take its course but with Covid-19 we declared war, and we are still fighting. We realize that we are not immortal and with living each day comes certain risks. In the words of Jim Morrison, “we are not getting out of here alive.” Jim recognized his own mortality and he knew that each day carries a risk of death. Perhaps if we examine the numbers that I am about to give you we will come to understand that this virus is not as scary as we once thought. According to Dr. Gabriela Sequra who has practiced infectious disease medicine in both Italy and Spain there is something more than meets the eye in those numbers we read about each day. She said that we must assume that the number of asymptomatic people is much higher than the numbers of people actually sick, and if that is the case, then the case fatality rate is much lower percentage wise than is being reported. She says further, that if a hospital death certificate has the medical code for the virus on it, then the patient died from the virus even if the virus is not the actual cause of death. 87% percent of deaths in Italy are those over 70 years of age, which happens in any flu season. The average age of death in Italy is 80.3 years. Most had 3 or more serious underlying health conditions for which they were taking medication. Back to America for a moment, the CDC admits that the tests sent to the states are flawed. That is not a conspiracy theory, they admit it, and coupled with the tendency of governments to hide real information, it is very difficult to believe the official version of anything. On March 24, the CDC sent a notice to hospitals to list Covid-19 as a cause of death regardless of what the patient dies of, as long as there is a positive test. A positive test does not necessarily identify the virus, but it notes a positive reaction in the body to stress, fear, radiation, or disease. If it’s there, it’s the cause. Wait a minute. You’re telling me that no matter what killed the patient, if there was a positive of the admittedly flawed test, the virus was the listed cause of death? Yes, that’s exactly what I’m telling you,
