While there are lots articles and videos right now vying for one’s attention, these interviews are a must-hear.
Knut Wittkowski, a Biostatistician/Epidemiologist who has modeled epidemics for 35 years, holds that the national lockdown and social distancing are prolonging the Coronavirus and therefore increasing deaths.
Rather, those at risk — the elderly and vulnarable — should be isolated for a limited time (perhaps 4 weeks), while the healthy should mingle and catch the Coronavirus (who would likely have mild or no symptoms at all), giving them immunity. As enough people become immune, this would develop natural herd immunity, providing a shield to those at risk, and thus end the outbreak.
On the other hand, the current measures of requiring the healthy to engage in quarantine and social distancing will prolong the virus, as it will hinder natural herd immunity from occurring. This will result in more death of those at risk. (Perhaps we can say this is the natural consequence of an unbiblical approach regarding containment.)
Watch both videos below for some excellent insights. (Although we obviously don’t endorse his statements in support of evolution or vaccination.) Wittkowski is witty and funny.
Some memorable quotes from the second video:
“I’m not paid by the government. So I’m entitled to actually do science.”
“We will see more death because of this social distancing.”
We need more time outdoors:
“Respiratory disease/the flu ends during Springtime, when people spend more time outdoors, because outdoors the viruses cannot easily spread. That is a form of containement. Spending more time outdoors. … [Spending more time indoors] keeps the virus healthy … Going outdoors is what stops every respiratory disease.”
On sudden spikes in cases being not due to a drastic increase in infections, but inconsistent reporting:
“In Italy there was a spike on one day, there was a spike on one day in Norway, but we have seen now so many of these spikes, they last for one day, and then the numbers go back to where they were before. So we are not really scared anymore if we see something changing very fast. Nature doesn’t jump, as people have known for a long time. The course of an epidemic is always smooth. There’s never a tenfold increase in number of cases from one day to another. There is nothing to be scared about. This is a flu epidemic like every other flu. Maybe a bit more severe. But nothing that is fundamentally different from the flus that we see in other years.”
Stand up for rights:
I think people in the United States — and maybe other countries as well — are more docile than they should be. People should talk with their politicians. Question them. Ask them to explain. Because if people don’t stand up [for] their rights, their rights will be forgotten.
