“Only 12% of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus”, whereas in public reports “all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.”

Most people have moderate or no Covid-19 symptoms whatever. Only the medically-fragile have any likelihood of dying. I don’t know the incidence of respiratory distress, except that most people do not experience this.
While antibiotics aren’t helpful against a virus, they are indicated for pneumonia and for sepsis. Although not widely applied in this off-label use, I think it’s been known that chloroquine is helpful against a virus– probably because of its oxygenating properties.
I don’t think we should succumb to “the virus is unlike any other, and attacks the red blood cells”, etc., without more expert verification. Seems a bit unlikely that just this one doctor should’ve made unique observations of his patients.
Sorry to be the skeptic, but it’s possible TPTB want to keep the fear porn going, and they have been losing traction just lately as more people begin to think.
Also the mortality spike caused by this virus has not been higher than other seasonal flu spikes of the last few years, even in Italy.
According to Italian Professor Walter Ricciardi, “only 12% of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus”, whereas in public reports “all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus”.
This means that Italian death figures reported by the media have to be reduced by at least a factor of 8 to obtain actual deaths caused by the virus. Thus one ends up with, at most, a few dozen deaths per day, compared to an overall daily mortality of 1,800 deaths and up to 20,000 flu deaths per year.
