The classification reference (300215) is described as COVID-19 Test kits - Diagnostic reagents based on immunological reactions http://wits.worldbank.org/data/public/hs-classification-reference_edition-2_en.pdf So the original data query of the product description returning as 'COVID-19 Test kits' appears to be correct. The classification reference for Medical Test Kits (as it now shows since this went viral) is 382200. The site still shows 300215. With regard to immunological reactions, does anyone know if a specific Covid-19 test would be be via detection of proteins from the COVID-19 virus or antibodies?

Hang on a minute it appears that the World Bank were exporting Covid-19 test kits back in 2018?? https://web.archive.org/web/20200905104533if_/https://wits.worldbank.org/trade/comtrade/en/country/ALL/year/2018/tradeflow/Exports/partner/WLD/nomen/h5/product/300215 They've since changed the product description to cover it up since this was doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday, but the link shows the archived webpage prior to this breaking. Very strange

Just having a look at the data for the past 7 days (the most recent 7 days where data is available for each): Tests - 1,332,658 Cases - 10,068 Deaths - 31 That's a lot of tests! Deaths now at a daily average of 4.5 is extremely enoouraging https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

It sends the message that organisers of peaceful protests involving a few thousand people against government actions will be prosecuted, whereas organisers of a 'million people' march will not. As the legislation is regarding public health, it's clear as day who of the 2 should be pursued. The law in itself appears to be contentios considering the Human Rights Act where everybody has a freedom of expression and a freedom of thought and assembly.

But law is law. Applying discretion as to who it is to be enforced against is just asking for trouble. Either scrap it altogether or apply it consistently.

My understanding is that the law was brought in for public health reasons, it doen't differentiate between what the intentions of the gatherings were for. Considering this was a demonstration against actions taken by the government, this the very definition of tyranny and supression in my opinion.

I doubt that they also went after organisers of local BLM protests or the NHS clapping on London Bridge months ago. Tyranny and suppression anyone?

That's if any of them caught it off of each other too from that plane journey too.

Possible, plus those most vulnerable having unfortunately succumbed to it already. Also, the virus may have mutated far enough to no longer be deadly per se. It was downgraded to no longer be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK back in March once more was known.

However, fatality rates as a % of confirmed cases have plummeted dramatically. Looking at the data from 28/08 - France is now at around 0.5% compared to 11% overall, Spain 0.25% compared to 6.75% and here in the UK 0.7% compared to 12.5%. More widespread testing, especially amongst those less vulnerable will have contributed to this I'm sure. Does anyone have a link that shows the number of tests at all? Would be interesting to also see the positive test %

Belair Park - Covid Testing today
Robbie replied to beansprout's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
You'd be crazy to get tested there tbh. Surely you'd have a high chance of being infected if you weren't already? -

By your logic, they must be. FYI - The KKK were founded by Democrats in the Southern United States in the late 1860s during Reconstruction.

No I can't recall the name of the one I saw, but I have seen one that covers pizzagate and the John Podesta / Hillary Clinton emails in detail. As a parent, it's hard to digest that this sort of thing could be going on at the level and frequency that it is purported to be. But the evidence of known paedophilia code is alarming. RE: Bill Gates, as I said in an earlier comment I would be cautious. However this theory about him wanting to force a vaccine chip or whatever is one I would actually support, but for limited reasons. Mainly tracking / locating for criminal activity, and a global digital currency using blockchain technology.

I looked into it as a result of watching a documentary about child trafficking, but only really follow it now because of the case of General Flynn because nowhere is reporting what has been uncovered. It's the equivalent of the Labour party conspiring with MI6 to create false criminal charges against Boris Johnson, with the BBC ITV and SKY News all constantly pushing the narrative. Now they have been caught with their trousers round their ankles, and information is slowly being made public with the declassification of documents. Technically it's treason and will probably have grave consequences for those convicted. All the other alleged stuff, whilst not beyond the realms of possibility has not captured my interest as of yet. Although I do recall a few years ago Mel Gibson being quoted backstage at the Graham Norton show mentioning the baby blood stuff and how rife it was in Hollywood.

By your logic, they must be. I've given you a clear example with the case of General Flynn where it is fact, not theory. If you're unable, or refuse to accept this, then that's on you. Fundraising for political parties is illegal in America. https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/who-can-and-cant-contribute/ Churches and other charitable organizations ------------------------------------------- Incorporated charitable organizations?like other corporations?are prohibited from making contributions in connection with federal elections. Unlike most other corporations, charities face additional restrictions on political activity under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Black Lives Matter is a registered charity under the name of ActBlue, which you can clearly see when you access the donate area. https://blacklivesmatter.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019 Federal Election Commission data for the 2020 election cycle shows ActBlue expenditure as follows: Contributions to federal candidates - $1,057,598,402 The top 2 were: Bernie 2020 - $186,780,034 Biden for President - $119,253,857 https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/expenditures.php?cmte=C00401224&cycle=2020 Facts again, not theory.

I've only known about QAnon for a couple of months so the jury is still out for me. But without a shadow of a doubt there is some merit behind it, demonstrated by the recent confirmation in the case of General Flynn that the whole Trump-Russia collusion narrative was false, brought about by the declassification of documents which QAnon mentioned over the past couple of years. The insight into such classified documents suggests to me that this is very much an inside job, and not your usual theory. With more declassification on the way, as well as 33 subpoenas issued last week to members of Obama's administration and FBI, it will be interesting to see what develops. Not to mention whether any mainstream media outlets will finally decide to give such a scandal the coverage it deserves. There's also the news from the past day or so, the Black Lives Matter movement being a fundraising front for the Democrat party. FYI I'm a 40 year old black man before you start thinking about coming at me from that angle.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation helped negotiate who would score a $100 million government-backed contact tracing contract in August 2019 ? six months before the ?pandemic? arrived in the United States and four months before it swept through China. The shocking revelations were unveiled on the Thomas Paine Podcast and the Moore Paine Show on Patreon by the two investigators who blew the whistle on the massive Clinton Foundation tax fraud during a Congressional hearing in 2018. John Moynihan and Larry Doyle testified in Congress, detailing the fraud and schemes utilised by the Clinton?s to avoid paying up to $2.5 BILLION in federal taxes. The investigative duo, in their first interview since that bombshell Congressional testimony, revealed to Paine that representatives from the Gates Foundation met with U.S. Congressman Bobby L. Rush at a sit down in Rwanda, East Africa in mid August 2019 to hash out who would score the windfall from a government contact tracing program. And just last month ? nine months after the meetings with the Gates Foundation in Rwanda ? Rush, a Democrat from Illinois, introduced the $100 BILLION H.R. 6666, the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act. https://truepundit.com/exclusive-bill-gates-negotiated-100-billion-contact-tracing-deal-with-democratic-congressman-sponsor-of-bill-six-months-before-coronavirus-pandemic/

China claim the US created it and brought it there (which wouldn't surprise be given the Democrats and Deep State record of false flags) and vice versa with the US. If it was manufactured and deliberately released, it could very well spark WW3 so I don't blame most governments in downplaying that theory.

Norwegian scientist Birger S?rensen has claimed the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is not natural in origin. The claims by the co-author of the British-Norwegian study?published in the Quarterly Review of Biophysics?are supported by the former head of Britain?s MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/DBBC0FA6E3763B0067CAAD8F3363E527/S2633289220000083a.pdf/biovacc19_a_candidate_vaccine_for_covid19_sarscov2_developed_from_analysis_of_its_general_method_of_action_for_infectivity.pdf
