Dr. Dan Erickson, owner of Accelerated Urgent Care clinics in Bakersfield, California is exasperated by the lockdown, finding it to be completely unnecessary and much more harmful than a disease that has a lower mortality rate to the annual flu.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n He says that putting people who are not acutely ill on lockdown will have the effect of weakening their immune systems. Further, by collapsing the small businesses, the loss of income is causing people to lose their dreams. People are turning to drugs and alcohol and there\u2019s been a noticeable spike in child abuse.<\/p>\n He says, \u201cDoes this make sense? Are we following the science? We keep hearing \u2018Following the science.\u2019 What is science, essentially? It\u2019s the study of the natural world through experiment, through observation. So, that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. We\u2019re studying the disease around us or making observations; we\u2019re doing testing experiments to figure out exactly what\u2019s going on\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHospitals\u2026they\u2019re shutting down floors, they\u2019re furloughing patients, they\u2019re furloughing doctors, so the health system has been evacuated in certain places.<\/p>\n \u201cIn New York, the health system is working at maximum capacity. In California, we\u2019re really at a minimal capacity, getting rid of our doctors and nurses, because we just don\u2019t have the volume\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThe initial models were were woefully inaccurate. They predicted millions of cases of death; not of prevalence or incidence \u2013 but death. That is not materializing.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat is materializing in the state of California is 12% positives. We\u2019ve seen 1,227 deaths in the state of California, with a possible incidence or prevalence of 4.7 million. That means you have a 0.03% chance of dying from COVID-19 in the state of California.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI also wanted to mention that 96% of people in California who get COVID recover with almost no significant sequelae or no significant continuing medical problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSo, I want to look at New York State. They\u2019ve been in the news a lot right, and their numbers are critical. Let\u2019s go over their numbers. Cases of COVID, as of yesterday, 256,272 cases in New York State\u2026of 649,325. That\u2019s 39% of New Yorkers tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s their ratios. This is public data online. You can all look it up. How many deaths do they have: 19,410.\u00a0Ten out of 19 million people, which is a 0.1% chance of dying from COVID in the state of New York \u2013 and they have a 92% recovery rate\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cUSA. This is a big one for us: 802,560 as of yesterday gives us a 19.6% positive out of those who are tested so\u2026If this is a typical extrapolation: 328 million people times 19.6 is 64 million. That\u2019s a significant amount of people with COVID-19.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s similar to the flu. If you study the numbers in 2017 and 2018, we had 50 to 60 million with the flu and we had a similar death rate. In the United States, there were 43,545, similar to the flu of 2017-2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe have always had between 37,000-60,000 deaths in the United States, every single year. No pandemic talk. No shelter-in-place. No shutting down businesses. No sending doctors home.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cCOVID-19 is one aspect of our health sector. What has it caused to have us be involved in social isolation\u2026Child molestation is increasing at a severe rate. We could go over multiple cases of children who have been molested, due to angry family members who are intoxicated, who are home, who have no paycheck.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThese things last a lifetime. This isn\u2019t about a seasonal flu. These are things that will follow these people and affect them in a negative fashion for their life and these are secondary effects from COVID\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cTalking to EMS, talking to my doctors and talking to people across the country and finding out what they\u2019re seeing: spousal abuse. We see people coming in here with black eyes and cuts on their face. It\u2019s an obvious abusive case. These are things that will affect them for a lifetime, not for a season.<\/p>\n \u201cAlcoholism, anxiety, depression, suicide. I\u2019ve talked to Donna Youngblood and various people in the community. I\u2019ve asked them how are things going? Suicide is spiking, education has dropped off, economic collapse of the medical industry. We\u2019re all suffering because our staff isn\u2019t here and we have no volume.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are all real things that I\u2019m seeing every day. I don\u2019t read about this stuff. I\u2019m seeing it in my clinics. We have clinics from Fresno to San Diego and these things are spiking in our community. These things will affect people for a lifetime, not for a season.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, let\u2019s let\u2019s make sure we\u2019re clear, that you\u2019ve got all the statistics now. I want to compare flu virus. Is this significantly different? Deaths, per the CDC: 24,000 to 62,000 deaths each year. We had about 45 million total cases in 2017, with about 62,000 deaths or a 0.13% chance of death from flu in the United States. As you know, our other numbers were 0.02%. So, the lethality of COVID-19 is much less.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThen, when you when you bring up a system of lockdown, you\u2019ll automatically have to compare it to a system of no lockdown.<\/p>\n \u201cThe immune system is built by exposure to antigens, viruses, bacteria. When you\u2019re a little child, crawling on the ground, putting stuff in your mouth, viruses and bacteria come in, you form an antigen antibody complex\u2026this is how your immune system is built.<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t take a small child, put them in bubble-wrap in a room and say, \u2018Go have a healthy immune system!\u2019 This is Immunology\/Microbiology 101.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019m seeing is when you take human beings and you say, \u2018Go into your house, clean all your counters, Lysol them down, you\u2019re gonna kill 99% of viruses and bacteria, wear a mask, don\u2019t go outside\u2019 \u2013 what does it do?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOur immune system is used to touching. We share bacteria; staphylococcus, streptococcal bacteria, viruses, we develop an immune response daily to this stuff. When you take that away from me, my immune system drops.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAs I shelter in place, my immune system drops. You keep me there for months, it drops more and now I\u2019m at home, hand-washing, vigorously washing the counters, worried about things that I need to do to survive.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the child is in a womb, you\u2019re in this protected environment. When you come out, you have almost no immune system. You develop that through touching your mouth, touching your eyes; bacterial virus immune response; IgG IgM. This is how you build a strong immune system.<\/p>\n \u201cSheltering in place decreases your immune system and then, as we all come out of shelter-in-place with a lower immune system and start trading viruses, bacteria \u2013 what do you think is going to happen? Disease is gonna spike and then you\u2019ve got a disease spike amongst the hospital system \u2013 with furloughed doctors and nurses!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis is not the combination want to set up for a healthy society, as your mask that you\u2019re wearing for days, you touch the outside of it, COVID and then touch your mouth.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis doesn\u2019t make any sense. We wear masks in an acute setting, to protect us. We\u2019re not wearing masks. Why is that? Because we understand microbiology. We understand immunology and we want strong immune systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system and then come out and get disease. We have both been in the ER, through Swine Flu and through Bird Flu. Did we shut down for those? Were they much less dangerous than COVID? Is the flu less dangerous than COVID?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s look at the death rates. No, it\u2019s not. And what\u2019s interesting to me, too is when someone dies in this country, right, now they\u2019re not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke. They say, \u2018Did they die from COVID?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cAs you\u2019ve been to hundreds of autopsies, you don\u2019t talk about one thing, you talk about co-morbidities: their vessels were narrowed, their lungs were of a smoker. COVID was part of it. It is not the reason they died, folks. It is one of many reasons.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, to be so simplistic, to say that\u2019s a \u2018COVID death\u2019, because they have COVID. You know how many people die with pneumonia or people that die from flu \u2013 with flu, I should say. It\u2019s not from flu. Their lungs were compromised by COPD, they had a heart attack two years ago, they have a weakened body.<\/p>\n \u201cWe aren\u2019t pressured to test for flu but ER doctors, my friends I talk to say, \u2018You know, it\u2019s interesting, when I\u2019m writing up my death report, I\u2019m being pressured to add COVID.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhy is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers and make it look a little bit worse than it is? I think so.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I look at the the basic tenets that we know of microbiology and I say, do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically, no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically, no. Do we need to test them and get them back to work? Yes, we do.<\/p>\n \u201cThe secondary effects that we went over; the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue \u2013 all these are, in our opinion a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe need to make sure if you\u2019re gonna dance on someone\u2019s Constitutional Rights, you better have a good reason. You better have a really good, scientific reason and not just theory.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOne of the most important things that we need are our hospitals back up. We need our furloughed doctors back. We need our nurses back. Because, when we lift this thing, we\u2019re gonna need all hands on deck.<\/p>\n \u201cI know the local hospitals have closed two floors. Folks, that\u2019s not the situation you want. We\u2019re essentially setting ourselves up to have minimal staff and we\u2019re going to have significant disease. That\u2019s the wrong combination.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been working with some of the leaders and I\u2019ve talked to the head of the CDPH. I\u2019ve gotten their opinion on this and a lot of the leaders in Sacramento and we\u2019re all in agreement but we need to have Governor Newsom in agreement with us to lift this ban.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve talked to our local head of the health department and he\u2019s waiting for that, even though they\u2019re in agreement with me. They\u2019re waiting for the powers that be to lift, because the data is showing us it\u2019s time to lift. So, if we don\u2019t lift, what is the reason?<\/p>\n \u201cI can go into Sully\u2019s right now, which I did this morning. There were 25 people in there and I can stand in line for 10 minutes but I can\u2019t go in Caf\u00e9 Rio and sit there for 10 minutes. Does that make sense to you guys?<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think I can go into Costco and I can shop with people and there\u2019s probably a couple hundred people \u2013 but I can\u2019t go in Caf\u00e9 Rio. So, big businesses are open, little businesses are not. There\u2019s no science behind that, as we\u2019ve gone over \u2013 that is not science.<\/strong><\/p>\n
