Why would you want to hide good information? Obvious answer, "Because it does not fit the main stream narrative"!

"Leaked emails between the senior adviser to Nashville's Mayor and a health department official reveal a disturbing effort to conceal extremely low c****av***s cases emanating from bars and restaurants, while the lion's share of infections occurred in nursing homes and construction workers, according to WZTV Nashville.

On June 30th, contact tracing was giving a small view of c****av***s clusters. Construction and nursing homes causing problems more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22 cases.

Leslie Waller from the health department asks “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?"

“Correct, not for public consumption.” Writes senior advisor Benjamin Eagles. -WZTV

Four weeks later, Tennessean reporter Nate Rau asked the health department: "the figure you gave of “more than 80” does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of C****-** in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?"

To which health department official Brian Todd scrambled for an answer - asking five health department officials: "Please advise how you respond. BT."

The response - from an official whose name was omitted from the leaked email: "My two cents. We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site," adding "We could still release the total though, and then a response to the over 80 could be "because that number is increasing all the time and we don’t want to say a specific number.""

According to a metro staff attorney asked by city council member Steve Glover to verify the authenticity of the emails, "I was able to get verification from the Mayor’s Office and the Department of Health that these emails are real."

Glover told WZTV: "They are fabricating information. They’ve blown there entire credibility Dennis. Its gone i don’t trust a thing they say going forward ...nothing."

Glover says he has been contacted by an endless stream of downtown bartenders, waitresses, and restaurant owners. Why would they not release these numbers?

"We raised taxes 34 percent and put hundreds literally thousands of people out of work that are now worried about losing their homes their apartments etcetera and we did it on bogus data. That should be illegal!" he says.

Again, we weren’t told by the mayor’s office this wasn’t true. We were told to file a freedom of information act request. -WZTV " - https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/nashville-authorities-concealed-evidence-hardly-any-c****-**-cases-contracted-bars-and

I live in Nashville. Testing is a joke. Who cares whether they were positive 10 - 14 days ago, which is the turnaround time if you had been able and willing to spend a full day waiting to get the test performed?

The only people I know getting tested, unless at a hospital or prior to attending a Trump rally are those required by their employer. And those tests results simply don't give you any usable information in a time frame where using the information could benefit anyone.

No one checks to see if persons who tested positive have notified any contacts. No one sees to it that notified contacts actually go get tested. As far as I can tell, one could test positive, decline to tell their employer and still wait tables or process meat the rest of the week!

So.... will patrons rush in early the morning after bar hopping to get tested and then spend the next week isolating in case they come back positive, then start notifying possible at risk persons.....

Nobody understands this mess and sooner than soon, no one will give a crap.

So employers can't figure out how to use the testing procedure to prevent people from working sick.

Bar and restaurant owners have even less control and knowledge of the status and followup behaviors of recent one time patrons than employers have over their staff.

That's exactly it. People need to start using their noggin. The CDC just warned that cloth masks don't protect from wildfire smoke. C***d particles are smaller than that. Do you think that warning was an innocent mistake? I don't.

This whole p******c thing is total BS, it's a control issue! Mike

The level of H2O in the air on a sunny 70% humidity afternoon at the park by the lake won't drown you. The level of H2O at the bottom of the lake will.

Dose related.

A mask reduces the dose of v***s.

Won't prevent drowning.

Not by much. And a lot of the cloth masks being sold are of very poor quality.

Unscrupulous testing means manipulated results

9/13/2020 The FDA is outsourcing C****-** testing to the ChiComs

These China-based companies have received FDA EUAs that grants them the ability to test for the c****av***s in America (including date of approval and link to FDA approval document):

Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise Co., Ltd (9/9/20).

ZhuHai Sinochips Bioscience Co., Ltd (8/17/20)

Xiamen Zeesan Biotech Co., Ltd. (7/31/20)

Jiangsu CoWin Biotech Co., Ltd. (7/24/20)

Jiangsu Bioperfectus Technologies Co., Ltd. (6/18/20)

Genetron Health (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (6/5/20)

Sansure BioTech Inc. (5/4/20)

Seasun Biomaterials (4/27/20)

Fosun Pharma (4/17/20)

BGI Genomics Co. Ltd. (3/26/20)

They are not a complete solution, but the beneficial effect demonstrated by populations who have the found the discipline to use them properly is enviable.

Properly informed and motivated buyers would bring capitalistic pressure to the market to produce more adequate masks, if people were educated to understand why they should care.

I think the old adage "familiarity breeds contempt" applies to that. People have become desensitized.

Excellent article. Thanks for posting. I also found the accompanying article "Why Mass PCR testing of the healthy and asymptomatic is currently counter-productive" to be very informative.

This article concludes: “The FDA’s Instructions for Use for the CDC 2019-Novel C****av***s (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel currently recommends a threshold of 40 cycles for a specimen to be considered positive,” which is well above the recommendations of scientists and experts evaluating testing accuracy."

Why is this important? Well, a New York Times article said, “The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the v***s” and that identifying these non-contagious people “may contribute to bottlenecks that prevent those who are contagious from being found in time.”

In a review of data from three labs, the New York Times found that “up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any v***s,” meaning that only about 10% of people who test positive may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing. The recommended solution was to reduce the threshold to 33 cycles, based on CDC calculations."
