The allmighty party had ruled in April that the pandemic is over and the virus uis done. That it now is back is a big loss of face for said party. That means: we will see many announcements now saying the virus comes from outside, from foreign places, from the mars or the outer solar system - just not from inside China.


A question of "honour", they think.

"Saving face" .. what real honour can it be if te storyteller including the population know exactly what an idiot he is, and the whitewashing is just done to make it look clean from the outside. Dialectics, or better: lies.

Seems to begin also in the West, looking at Johnson or Trump.

They both never cared for saving their faces, they only care for spilling enough oil into the flames so that their broth keeps on seething to feed their pretorians, and so that the steam in the air keeps on obstructing the clear view.

The government is planning to relax its travel quarantine rules in early July for some countries.

Talks are taking place between UK officials and those in a number of European countries, including Portugal.

However, the UK hopes to make an announcement on 29 June that it has secured a number of "travel corridors".

The government had previously said that the quarantine would be reviewed every three weeks and 29 June marks the end of the first three-week period.

A travel corridor would mean that two people travelling in both directions between two countries would not have to self-isolate after they travel.

A senior aviation source has told the BBC that the quarantine could remain throughout the summer for anyone arriving from countries which do not have a travel corridor with the UK.

The Guardian's exclusive article:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/17/uk-ministers-order-urgent-vitamin-d-coronavirus-review

Dr. Campbell cannot be thanked enough for bringing this issue of Vitamine D up time and again in his videos, I have collected a lot of reading about it in the past three months as well, and the burden of hints and evidence is already overwhelming, and not just regarding the positive effect in case of Covid 19.

I am a bit amazed that he enver mentins Vitmaine K2. Its important and maybe the most overlook vitamine there is.

I can only wave at the direction where the water is, going there and drinking the horse must do itself.

I supplement Dr. Campbells latest video on Vitamine D with again linking to this German site (use Google website translator)

https://www.vitamind.net/dosierung/

that has a lot of information collected on Vitamine D, the site belongs to a book publisher who is in holistic medicine and naturopathic treatment, the authors all are doctors with PhDs and are practicing, they are no dubious shady business people. Many of their articles have links to according studies in the established medical journals, check these out. Even the article on products only gives warning on what to watch out for in crooked products and lists no brands and no individual supplements, there is no advertising and no selling attempt whatever. But it warns of that many of the products you can buy especially via internet, are of inferior quality and often have jjst a part of even just a tiny fraciton of the doses printe don the packages.

If somebody knows an equivalent to this site in english, I would appreciate it if it is made known to us.

Do not trust in the conventional orthodox dose reocmmendaitons given by national nutrition advisory boards. Its dinosaurs sitting in them, their values base on one single monumental methodological fault in one highly influential study that erratically calculated some data too low by factors of 5 and 10!!! Like in the past with iron and spinach: some poor dude once copied data and accidntally moved the decimale by one position, and so spinach suddenly in scientific literature had ten times as much of iron than it actually has... A very prominent example of how human fault can mess up science data.

I am confident to say that very likely you are always on the safe side if you stay within 10 thousand units per day over many months, and do not exceed a once-in-a-lifetime entry dose of 50 thousand units to get yourself started in replensihing your body'S internal Vit D reservoir (doing so takes time, several weeks). And that are even still conservative, extremely cautious estimations. Hypercalcemia and comparable symptoms as well as symptoms of "intoxication" (idiotic term, i know, but lets keep it short) usually are agreed by doctors working with Vit-D therapies to not become an issue with daily doses not exceeding 40 thousand and rushed entry doses not exceeding 250-300 thousand units.

As usual my strong advice to always combine with Vit K2, and Magnesium.

Stupid German minster wants to ban supplement slike this alltogether, continentally. I will never tolerate that such incompetence and vulnerability to lobbyism is allowed to make it to the rank of minsters. She pishzes for it on EU level but I hope she is fired from offic ebefore she can cusseed and that the eU is distracted by having other issues on its mind currently. Stupid, stupid girly. A season's winner of the title of "Weinkönigin" from some village. if only she would have stayed there.
