[00:00.800 --> 00:07.120]  I'm Dave Champion. I want to talk to you about the increase in SARS-CoV-2 infections that we
[00:07.120 --> 00:13.920]  absolutely will see during the winter months, why we're going to see it, and how much difference it
[00:13.920 --> 00:28.560]  actually makes. Let's start with the unavoidable bad news. Whenever infections go up, there's always
[00:28.560 --> 00:34.720]  this very, very tiny percentage of people who develop COVID-19, and sometimes they have a mild
[00:34.720 --> 00:41.120]  case of it, sometimes moderate, sometimes severe, and of course, in the extreme cases, they die.
[00:41.120 --> 00:46.800]  So whenever you see an increase in SARS-CoV-2 cases, there will be this tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny,
[00:46.800 --> 00:53.520]  tiny percentage of people who will die. So when we talk about increase in infections during winter,
[00:53.520 --> 01:00.560]  yes, it's going to produce a small, small uptick in fatalities. With that said,
[01:00.560 --> 01:04.640]  let's find out why, what's going on, how is that operating, what's going to cause it,
[01:04.640 --> 01:09.280]  when will it pass, and so forth. Let's answer all those questions for you. I want to start with,
[01:09.280 --> 01:18.000]  as I often do, a COVID Neuroses Network CNN headline, which says, America is nearing
[01:18.640 --> 01:26.480]  rapid acceleration of COVID-19 cases. Experts warn. Whether I'm reading a scientific study
[01:26.480 --> 01:35.040]  report or torturing myself with a CNN article, I read the entire thing. So I read all 26 paragraphs
[01:35.040 --> 01:42.880]  of that article. Only in passing in one sentence did they mention weather. I was having to do
[01:42.880 --> 01:48.480]  anything with that headline, which is what it is all about. 26 paragraphs, one passing reference
[01:48.480 --> 01:53.120]  to the actual cause. Nah, they're not trying to keep you in the dark. Depending on which study
[01:53.120 --> 01:57.920]  you consider the most credible or the most applicable to your community or region, the
[01:57.920 --> 02:06.560]  percentage of infections concerning SARS-CoV-2 that occur in the home is somewhere between 80%
[02:06.560 --> 02:17.920]  to 98%. That's a whopping, huge, controlling percentage of all the new infections occur
[02:18.480 --> 02:25.440]  in the home. So when do people spend the most time in their homes? Yeah, when it's cold.
[02:26.000 --> 02:32.800]  So the key here is you change a behavioral pattern and you change the transmission pattern.
[02:32.800 --> 02:37.280]  I told you time and time again, it's not rocket science. It's just normal science.
[02:37.840 --> 02:44.320]  A simple kind of silly way to understand this is nobody living in Vermont is going to have 50
[02:44.320 --> 02:51.120]  people over for a Christmas party in their backyard. But they may choose to have 50 people
[02:51.120 --> 02:57.280]  over for a Christmas party in their home. Since we're going to be seeing new infections rise,
[02:58.080 --> 03:03.520]  what does this have to do with herd immunity? Well, absolutely nothing. Herd immunity remains
[03:03.520 --> 03:07.760]  good. It remains wonderful. It remains great. It remains nature's way of flipping the off switch.
[03:08.800 --> 03:13.200]  But it's not instantaneous. I've talked before. I'm not going to go into the whole explanation
[03:13.200 --> 03:17.360]  again, that you have the pool of infected people and you have the pool of susceptible people.
[03:17.360 --> 03:21.760]  And the larger the pool of people who have been infected and thus have antibodies, cannot get it
[03:21.760 --> 03:28.160]  and cannot give it, the safer the ever-dwindling pool of susceptible people are. At this point,
[03:28.800 --> 03:35.680]  we still have a lot of susceptible people, which means, as I said before, when people change their
[03:35.680 --> 03:43.200]  behavioral patterns, spending more time indoors where 80 to 98 percent of SARS-CoV-2 infections
[03:43.200 --> 03:49.920]  occur, they're going to come in contact or spend more time with or be in closer proximity to that
[03:49.920 --> 03:54.800]  remaining susceptible part of the community. I think a good example of the fact that herd immunity
[03:54.800 --> 04:00.960]  is not, I always do this like it's an off switch. And it is, and especially since history, right,
[04:00.960 --> 04:06.480]  we measure history in millions or billions of years. So the time that it takes Mother Nature to
[04:06.480 --> 04:10.240]  turn off a contagious event like SARS-CoV-2 is basically turning off the light switch.
[04:10.240 --> 04:17.120]  But it doesn't feel that way to us. As an example, the Hong Kong Flu, it broke out in 1968,
[04:17.120 --> 04:22.880]  went all through 1969, and a little bit into 1970. And then Mother Nature, herd immunity,
[04:23.760 --> 04:28.880]  yeah. So this seems instantaneous to us, but it doesn't quite work that way in the real world.
[04:28.880 --> 04:32.880]  Herd immunity remains good and wonderful and great. And the way we want to go about this
[04:32.880 --> 04:38.640]  with this virus, I say that because if we had a virus that we were dealing with right now that
[04:38.640 --> 04:43.200]  people who got infected, 30 percent of them died, driving for herd immunity would be
[04:43.200 --> 04:49.120]  highly questionable. But that's not SARS-CoV-2. And given the nature of SARS-CoV-2,
[04:49.120 --> 04:55.280]  it is desirable to drive for herd immunity. So with this new threat right around the corner,
[04:56.320 --> 05:02.800]  what is the government doing? Well, it's, yeah, it's planning to crack down. The French president,
[05:02.800 --> 05:10.960]  Macron, he just said the other day that nonpublic personal contact is, quote,
[05:11.680 --> 05:17.280]  the most dangerous, close quote. So what does that give you any idea that the French government,
[05:17.280 --> 05:22.320]  the national government is planning to do? Yeah. And it's not just France. The UK just recently
[05:22.320 --> 05:29.120]  instituted sort of a new system of lockdowns called the tiered system. If you are in tier two now,
[05:30.080 --> 05:36.560]  you cannot have sex with someone with whom you do not cohabitate. It doesn't matter whether you've
[05:36.560 --> 05:40.720]  been with this person for years. It doesn't matter whether you've been screwing like Jack
[05:40.720 --> 05:48.000]  Rabbits every day for the last couple of years. If you do not cohabitate and you're in a tier two
[05:48.000 --> 05:58.800]  area in the UK, yeah, it's a violation of law to stick. Yeah. The very idea that government
[05:58.880 --> 06:05.360]  thinks it has authority over the most intimate relationships between human beings
[06:07.040 --> 06:11.520]  with a virus that has a society-wide mortality rate, at least here in the United States,
[06:12.080 --> 06:17.360]  of six one hundredths of one percent, the idea that they think they can control the most intimate
[06:17.360 --> 06:25.440]  of human reactions, interactions is absolutely mind-blowingly insane. So here in Nevada,
[06:25.440 --> 06:29.600]  staring right at the face like every place is with the idea that as weather gets colder,
[06:30.240 --> 06:35.600]  new infections are going to rise, here in Nevada, Governor Sisolak just said a couple of days ago,
[06:35.600 --> 06:42.960]  well, if Nevadans don't do what's necessary to bring cases back down, I'm going to have
[06:42.960 --> 06:50.800]  to impose new measures. So what? Right at the moment when you know scientifically,
[06:50.880 --> 06:58.880]  numbers are absolutely going to increase. Yeah. That's when you threaten the people of Nevada.
[06:58.880 --> 07:05.680]  If you don't do what I say, I'm going to screw you over even more. What makes it even more insane
[07:05.680 --> 07:14.880]  is because we're talking about being in your home, there is absolutely no way to stop this,
[07:14.880 --> 07:20.480]  change this, alter its trajectory or anything else. It simply is going to happen. During the
[07:20.480 --> 07:26.000]  winter months with most of the country, you have cold weather, the number of new infections
[07:26.000 --> 07:34.640]  is going to rise. Government can't do anything to change that. I love Fauci's statement. He said,
[07:34.640 --> 07:41.600]  Thanksgiving is going to look very different this year. Really? So it's like, to who? I'm not
[07:41.600 --> 07:47.360]  changing anything I've done any year in the past. I'm not changing it this year. I don't know many
[07:47.360 --> 07:54.000]  people who are. Here in Nevada, they've said that trick or treating is, I haven't bothered to look
[07:54.000 --> 07:58.800]  up the executive order. Some people claim it's illegal. Some people say that it is just not
[07:58.800 --> 08:02.960]  recommended. So a lot of people aren't doing the trick or treating thing. I think a lot of homeowners
[08:02.960 --> 08:08.080]  aren't going to be doing the distribution of candy thing. In one state, the governor actually said,
[08:08.080 --> 08:14.640]  if you have Halloween parties at your house and somebody calls the cops, when we show up
[08:14.640 --> 08:22.800]  for every child that is present that does not belong to you, $500 fine. Like I said, this is
[08:22.800 --> 08:28.000]  the point where things start to get nuts, where the government wants to come inside your home,
[08:28.000 --> 08:31.840]  whether it's finding you for children that are present in your home, whether it's telling you
[08:31.840 --> 08:36.000]  you can't have sex with somebody that you want to be intimate with, whether Macron is calling this
[08:36.560 --> 08:44.160]  personal interaction the most dangerous. This is clearly where government wants to go.
[08:44.720 --> 08:49.200]  There are a number of cases pending now in various states concerning the governor's actions.
[08:50.480 --> 08:57.120]  It is my most sincere hope that these judges say, no, no, no, no. I get governor that you're acting
[08:57.120 --> 09:03.920]  with perhaps the best of intents, but this is an impermissible level of mass suppression of
[09:03.920 --> 09:09.600]  fundamental constitutional rights. Maybe at first when you didn't know what you had,
[09:10.640 --> 09:16.400]  some of this was called for, but you can't just go on and do this for 10 months, 16 months,
[09:16.400 --> 09:21.200]  24 months, mass suppression of fundamental rights. I'm hoping that's the decision that
[09:21.200 --> 09:26.240]  these judges make, but I wanted you to know what's going on in the cold, what you can expect in the
[09:26.240 --> 09:30.800]  cold winter months, and perhaps how government intends to react to it.
