[00:00.000 --> 00:02.700]  I'm Dave Champion.
[00:02.700 --> 00:08.920]  With the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak essentially over in the United States, cases dropping virtually
[00:08.920 --> 00:13.400]  everywhere with the exception of a couple of rural states where we would expect to see
[00:13.400 --> 00:19.600]  cases increasing modestly for a bit until they reach herd immunity, the U.S. media doesn't
[00:19.600 --> 00:23.380]  have a lot of horror stories to tell the American public.
[00:23.380 --> 00:29.120]  So what they've got to now is the second wave and where they're focusing their attention
[00:29.120 --> 00:32.800]  and now what they're really trying to do is scare all of you in the U.S. in order to achieve
[00:32.800 --> 00:35.240]  that they're focusing on Europe.
[00:35.240 --> 00:38.560]  They're saying Europe is in the midst of a second wave.
[00:38.560 --> 00:40.160]  Yeah.
[00:40.160 --> 00:48.400]  So no.
[00:48.400 --> 00:52.720]  Normally when I want to illustrate a point to you, I have chart after chart after chart
[00:52.720 --> 00:53.720]  after chart.
[00:53.720 --> 00:58.600]  Today there's just two because that's all it really takes in order to illustrate in
[00:58.600 --> 01:03.880]  a very, very meaningful manner that there is no second wave going on in Europe.
[01:03.880 --> 01:10.440]  We're going to look at where just two nations in Europe are right now because that gives
[01:10.440 --> 01:18.920]  us a real distinction between this model and that model and what the consequences of adopting
[01:18.920 --> 01:20.880]  each model is.
[01:20.880 --> 01:23.880]  Let's start with France.
[01:23.880 --> 01:27.400]  This chart captures France through about September 20th.
[01:27.480 --> 01:31.040]  I want to draw your attention to the red line over on the left.
[01:31.040 --> 01:36.360]  That was the initial SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in France.
[01:36.360 --> 01:41.960]  This yellow line down at the bottom shows you the time frame that France engaged in
[01:41.960 --> 01:47.120]  the artificial unsustainable construct known as lockdown.
[01:47.120 --> 01:51.440]  And you'll see right here where the lockdown begins cases start to go down, then they flatten
[01:51.440 --> 01:54.040]  out and they stay flat, right?
[01:54.040 --> 01:58.160]  Right up until the end of the artificial unsustainable lockdown.
[01:58.160 --> 02:02.400]  Then you'll see right here of course cases go up dramatically.
[02:02.400 --> 02:08.120]  The point that I want to make that I think this graph illustrates beautifully is this
[02:08.120 --> 02:11.640]  is not a second wave.
[02:11.640 --> 02:17.240]  This is merely a continuation of this.
[02:17.240 --> 02:23.520]  This was put on hold by this like putting your foot on the brake and then you take your
[02:23.520 --> 02:30.200]  foot off the brake and yeah, it continues as it would have continued had you not put
[02:30.200 --> 02:32.280]  your foot on the brake.
[02:32.280 --> 02:36.480]  Spain and France are experiencing essentially the same dynamic that you just saw on the
[02:36.480 --> 02:37.480]  French graph.
[02:37.480 --> 02:41.280]  And what that means is that they have decided both of them that there's not going to be
[02:41.280 --> 02:46.240]  another artificial unsustainable construct called lockdown.
[02:46.240 --> 02:48.120]  They're not going to do that.
[02:48.120 --> 02:54.160]  They're going to let the virus run its course, create herd immunity and watch their cases
[02:54.160 --> 02:56.400]  plummet.
[02:56.400 --> 02:58.120]  Where else have we seen that?
[02:58.120 --> 03:04.340]  I could show you location after location after location after location where we've seen that.
[03:04.340 --> 03:10.100]  But in terms of a second wave in Europe, I'm just going to show you one.
[03:10.100 --> 03:12.200]  You might have predicted, yeah, Sweden.
[03:12.200 --> 03:16.360]  So right here is the moment Sweden hit herd immunity.
[03:16.360 --> 03:21.280]  This steep decline in cases is exactly what you would expect having hit herd immunity
[03:21.280 --> 03:23.880]  in a nation that does not have a large rural population.
[03:23.880 --> 03:32.720]  So in terms of this second wave that the U.S. media is claiming is happening in Europe,
[03:32.720 --> 03:35.920]  yeah, this red line is Sweden.
[03:35.920 --> 03:38.740]  That's a pretty impressive second wave, wouldn't you say?
[03:38.740 --> 03:41.800]  Just a moment ago, you saw what's happening in France and what's happening in Spain is
[03:41.800 --> 03:43.520]  essentially the same.
[03:44.240 --> 03:48.400]  And now you see what's been happening in Sweden.
[03:48.400 --> 03:56.460]  So what's the singular most significant, about the only distinction that could cause such
[03:56.460 --> 04:00.440]  a dramatic difference in where they're at today?
[04:00.440 --> 04:03.720]  Well, yeah, Sweden didn't lock down.
[04:03.720 --> 04:05.120]  They didn't do mask orders.
[04:05.120 --> 04:09.680]  They didn't close bars and restaurants and gyms.
[04:09.680 --> 04:12.360]  Anything that here in the U.S. was, oh my God, it's high risk, shut it down.
[04:12.360 --> 04:13.960]  They didn't do any of that.
[04:13.960 --> 04:17.860]  They suggested social distancing, but there was no enforcement of that.
[04:17.860 --> 04:18.860]  Some people did it.
[04:18.860 --> 04:19.860]  Some people didn't.
[04:19.860 --> 04:24.000]  And the outcome was in a nation of 10.3 million people, it didn't take them long to hit herd
[04:24.000 --> 04:31.400]  immunity and you just saw on the graph the results of that numbers dropping dramatically.
[04:31.400 --> 04:35.340]  Then we take a look at nations like in this case today we looked at France where they
[04:35.340 --> 04:41.400]  had that time where they just put their foot on the brake and suppressed the normal functioning
[04:41.440 --> 04:47.000]  of human beings in a society, which is an insane way of approaching a virus, right?
[04:47.000 --> 04:52.300]  And then as soon as they stop that, we see the cases go up, but it's not a second wave.
[04:52.300 --> 04:59.480]  It is a continuation of the first, I don't know if I'd call it a wave, the initial infection.
[04:59.480 --> 05:00.480]  That's all it is.
[05:00.480 --> 05:07.980]  So when you see these reports in the U.S. media, I don't really know what to say in
[05:08.060 --> 05:15.420]  these cases because what I really want to do is tell the U.S. media, stop it.
[05:15.420 --> 05:16.460]  Shut the fuck up.
[05:16.460 --> 05:20.420]  You don't know what you're talking about or you do know what you're talking about.
[05:20.420 --> 05:21.420]  You're lying.
[05:21.420 --> 05:25.440]  So if you don't know what you're talking about, shut the fuck up.
[05:25.440 --> 05:30.060]  If you do know what you're talking about and you're lying even though you know the truth,
[05:30.060 --> 05:31.060]  shut the fuck up.
[05:31.060 --> 05:35.220]  I mean, that's what I want to say to the U.S. media.
[05:35.220 --> 05:36.380]  So what are they doing?
[05:36.380 --> 05:41.820]  All they're trying to do is create panic in the U.S. population.
[05:41.820 --> 05:47.500]  What they want every single one of you to have in the back of your head is that, oh
[05:47.500 --> 05:49.820]  my God, oh my God, yeah, things look good now.
[05:49.820 --> 05:52.540]  Things look good now, but we have to do everything that the government says.
[05:52.540 --> 05:53.540]  We have to comply in total.
[05:53.540 --> 05:56.820]  Oh, we're all going to die because there's going to be a second wave, oh my God.
[05:56.820 --> 06:01.140]  That's what the media is trying to get you to think back here in that little lizard part
[06:01.140 --> 06:02.140]  of the brain.
[06:02.620 --> 06:07.140]  Oh, and they're trying to make you come back and watch more of their broadcasts and spend
[06:07.140 --> 06:11.140]  more time on their website so they can increase their advertising revenue.
