I heard Dr Daniel say this a few times that "clapping people out" of the ICU is not the end. I'm a Home Healthcare RN BSN Bsc(Med Sci) HON and Ive had the privelege of looking after these clapped out patients after hospital discharge. The company I worked for hasnt done a great deal to teach us anything so I went out and educated myself, nothing new there. I was provided with adequate PPE btw. Anyway thanks to studying myself silly and watching TWIV I was ready for hypotension, blood clots, dehydration, utis and superinfectiions and found myself guiding the PCPs and providing references. My previously hypertensive patients enjoyed no drugs but within wks it was back. Having worked in ICU I was ready for partially collapsed lungs and how to reinflate. My mother is an opera singer and teacher and fortunately I absorbed her tecniques so I taught them these exercises. Together with one physiotherapist I believe we discharged 25 out of 25 alive and I told patients and families to reach out if they are worried. Three had UTIs we could manage at home, and the one patient I saw covid toes on and no anticoagulant post hospitlaization I had to send back to er for sob, really I knew it was a PE; she returned home and she was one of the 25. Oxygen Desaturation and insisiting upon oxygen home therapy with humidification was not easy. The silliest thing I saw was a covid toe case called diabetic ulcers rather than DTI but my colleagues accepted some help out with documenting. Anyway you should order Home Healthcare.

Discouraging IVM when people are dying, Remdesivir results are immaterial and a tsunami of evidence supporting an FDA approved drug like ivermectin are dismissed is immoral. I just want to clarify that you are telling people not to take this medication? I have a prescription for the generic human formulation, I also have FDA/EUA Antibody and Antigen tests. What about the 99% of the Covid victims who are not vaccinated and have no antiviral therapy? I like your quotes, your ties, but you’re losing me as a viewer by suggesting extremely expensive medications proven to be of little or no benefit while Perpetuating the fear preventing docs & hospitals from using ditch medicine to save lives. Gandhi was quoted when asked why he allowed mother Theresa to remain in India that “If any of you would like to replace her And her sisters from digging maggots out of our brothers and sisters then we can have a conversation, now we thank the Blessed mother for being here”

Thank you Dr. Griffin for these updates. Happy Holidays to everyone!

My experience with Covid. I'm a dual degreed engineer with fairly extensive experience with medicine. I worked under contract for over a decade for a law firm that defended malpractice suits. I got involved when electromedical issues arose. I finally quit when I could no longer stomach defending what quacks were doing to their patients. So I have a healthy disrespect for the run of the mill MD. As my brother, a top DDS in the state likes to say "The lowest ranked student in the medical class still gets to call himself "Dr". Therefore before I believe anything my MD tells me, I extensively research it. In Feb I had a knee replacement which, as it turns out, was the last surgery at that hospital before they shut down elective surgery. I brought home Covid, counting back from the onset of symptoms, probably when I had my pre-op done. So I was recovering both from the surgery and Covid. I live in a very rural area and travel over 100 miles to get competent care so my likelihood of getting treatment here was slim. I dragged myself out of bed, to the computer and did the research. I saw many reports on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquin. which was very handy since my wife was taking the drug for Lupus. She did not catch Covid. I used the combination of Hydroxychloroquin, high dose Vitamin D, zinc and calcium. In 4 days my overt symptoms were gone (return of taste and smell, pulse dropped back under 200, etc). I was very weak for a couple of weeks but that could have been as much from the surgery. The result of a car wreck, I have severe lung damage. My left diaphragm muscle is paralyzed and my right muscle's movement is constricted by scar tissue. It was absolutely vital that I avoid any lung involvement which the above therapy achieved. So here are two more " anecdotal " examples of evidence of success.

I think it might help to memorize the important aspects of what Dr. Griffin says so they can be repeated clearly, verbatim, to the doctor you get. It would be a paragraph of information, and include Dr. Griffin's name and the Twiv podcast name. Or just say 'I want what he is recommending' and it has to do with the timing and conditions for giving the anticoagulants and steroids and anti-inflammatories. Me personally, I'll be sure to say don't give anything without randomized controlled double blind trials. Very conservative medicine is what I demand. That means no ivermectin, no Remdesivir (which is only might help briefly anyways at the very beginning of the treatment), no vitamin D, no antibiotics unless bacterial infection is proven with a blood test.

UK here. Schools are open with full classes, no masks in class, no barriers between students, full buses of children, no temperature checks that I know of locally, no mass testing so far of students. Wonder why the virus might be spreading so fast?

Pre-Christmas shopping in damp or wet UK streets removing masks between shops then putting same masks on again on entering next shop, masks on chin or hanging on one ear, or stuffed into pocket or handbag between use. People who don't understand that disposable masks should not just be returned to the glove box for all members of the family to reuse. Teenagers swapping & sharing masks to enter the store to buy lunch or drinks before school. People who do not understand "disposable" infers "dispose of responsibly" after use, not reuse until too smelly to wear, nor drop it on the floor when you take it off for someone else to clean up. Cloth masks should be worn and washed at least after one daily use, not to be perpetually worn. Removal of masks by using the straps, not the outside of front of mask. The appalling mask hygiene, or lack of it, here in the UK since masks became mandatory, has probably meant people are infecting themselves, with their masks being the primary infective fomites. we would have seen less transmissibility if masks had not been mandatory in shops. Only masks worn within the guidelines published by the UK gov etc., are going to be preventative, not the way the UK population is using them in practice.

@@tikaanipippin -- I see a lot of claims like this. Attempts to defend mask use policy by essentially blaming the public for the fact that they dont seem to be controlling the epidemic anywhere. I dont buy it. The simple reason is that masks are only really intended to stop shedding, so wearing the same mask doesn't make a difference to the goal of stopping some viral shed indoors. Furthermore, in places like the UK, influenza has been almost completely suppressed this year. There are extremely low numbers of cases. Surely our non-pharma interventions are playing a part in that.. and yet COVID still spreads easily. The fact is it spreads easier than seasonal flu and there are more susceptible people to it. Hence, there is a limit to non-pharma interventions like masks. Take a look at Europe and see that countries which mandated widespread mask use in the summer or autumn saw massive spikes in cases in the winter instead. It was triggered by seasonal change and masks as public policy to suppress it didn't work.

Hope you both have a safe and happy Christmas..well done.

@Denise Skinner You have no idea what that article is saying, do you? It has zero to do with making any vaccines. It is about making non-infectious viral particles to use in neutralization assays, without using actual COVID viruses that require Class III biological hazard labs. Basically, a neutralization assay is a method to see if a given antibody or soup of antibodies is capable of blocking the function of the viral particle to bind - it is a quick way to test the products while develop monoclonal antibody treatments, for example. They are designing the system to work in only one specific cell line - the 293T cell line which was originally isolated from human kidney cells and then modified to work in this system. They are using the HIV retroviral system to add the spike protein segment to the genome of the cell line. Those cells then produce fake, non-infective virus particles covered with a part of the COVID 2 spike protein, including the part that interacts with ACE2 receptors. They isolate these particles and then use them to challenge different antibodies they have created or isolated, to see if they antibodies are binding to the important part of the COVID spike protein, or to a relatively inert part of the spike protein. All of this happens in test tubes, not in people. Nothing at all to do with the vaccine., unless perhaps they took antibodies from a person who had the vaccine and checked to see whether the antibodies they generated are blocking the important part of the virus.

Just excellent, as always. Thank you

The mysterious case of increasing cases in the UK. In England during November there was a light lockdown and cases were falling. It was promised that if the cases continued to fall there would be some relaxation it the mitigation measures. This was done early December. This a poor decision because the cases were already increasing. So the restrictions were set back to what they had been during early November. The compliance (or lack of it) was the same, but the cases continued to increase and to accelerate. This was mainly in the South-east and in London, but was spreading North into areas where the changes in restrictions (either way) had not been made. So what has changed? The behavior was the same, so the UK health ministry investigated and were worried that the virus may have mutated and become more transmissible. So the UK government (and home nations) adopted the precautionary principle and implemented a much stricter lock-down. Investigations are being carried-out (at several sites including Portland Down, previously the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Establishment) to find out if the variant is more transmissible or the increase in cases is due to other factors. Whatever the reason the Rt appears to have increased by 0.4 - 0.5. The only solution is to continue to do what we have done before, but more so; further restrictions and improved compliance.

I do have a question. I will be getting my vaccine in a clinic and watched for 15 -30 minutes as I am an epi pen person(bee allergy) What are my chances of getting covid in a poorly ventilated clinic situation with covid19 virus around as I get my vaccine. If immunity takes 10 days, can you get covid 19 coming in for your shot? I will be masked as will the nurse but I am concerned about indoor clinic environments with no windows and a stream of sick people coming in and out.

UK transmission: no people aren't being that careful. Lots of people 'going topless' in mask wearing with their snout hanging out, for example. Thank you both for sensible views on our 'new variant' from a cabinet with ZERO medical/scientific background.

The last lockdown in the UK was more like a lockdown in name only. In particular, the covid-secure schools are covid-secure in name only. Regardless of the best efforts of teachers, there has been little funding for schools to bring in new staff or find additional space. As a result, the ONS snapshot indicated 3+% of secondary school pupils and 2+% primary school children were positive. This compared with 1+% in other age groups. Given that the beginning of the current second wave coincided with the return of the schools, the circumstantial evidence suggests that the schools are fueling the spread of the new variant.

Nice talk thanks for the this

I agree about this part of England's "covid safe" social life. There was a brief lockdown November into early December but either side the south east was not under such stringent controls as parts of the north of England and a large proportion of the population in Scotland. Note that Wales has high rates but not with the same high proportion of the bogey variant.

Well then 20% of your clinic team need to be fired. They have taken a decision which is fundamentally incompatible with their continuing status as members of said clinical team. There need to be consequences for that decision.

The government was so concerned about things in the UK that they wrecked everyone's Christmas plans at the last minute. What did this lead to? A rush of people crowding onto public transport. A rush of people crowding into shops to get shopping done to account for their wrecked plans. The problem with the current situation in the UK is that to a large degree the amount of virus transmission is independent of the additional tier measures taken. Before measures are increased? Levels go up, levels stay the same or levels go down. After measures are increased? Levels go up, levels stay the same or levels go down. It is NOT the extra precautions being taken which are affecting the virus levels. The base level precautions are certainly needed and very much have a positive, reducing effect on controlling the virus transmission levels. However since the virus transmission levels are essentially independent of extra precautions taken the question must be asked: are the extra precautions actually worth it? The extra precautions cause critical damage to the economy. The extra precautions cause excess deaths through suicide increasing, and deaths from undiagnosed or misdiagnosed conditions other than COVID-19. There has also been a tsunami of serious mental health issues due to the extra precautions. The extra precautions have either an extremely weak or negligible effect on actual transmission rates. Given that situation are the extra precautions worth it? NO!!!! Then on top of the unnecessary destruction and death caused by the extra restrictions we also have the pervasive problem that the public health authorities are running into at the moment: no one believes them anymore! Why? Partially it's simple fatigue due to the length of time that this pandemic has been going on for. However, and much more critically it's because they have discredited themselves through their own actions. They have exaggerated, they have manipulated and they have outright lied. Therefore they have destroyed their stock of political capital for no good reason. Take Neil Ferguson for example. His horrendously bad modelling was used right at the start and proved utterly useless. He then decided that he wanted to get his leg over and violated the very restrictions that he had a part in crafting and triggering the implementation of. He resigned from his advisory position as a result. However what's happened in the last couple of weeks? Looky, looky! Back into town comes Ferguson. His "models" are again used to trigger extra restrictions. He is again treated as credible. He failed in the spring of this year. He failed during the Foot and Mouth epidemic towards the start of this century. He failed during the swine flu outbreak. Ferguson has utterly destroyed both his professional and personal credibility. As a result he should be ignored completely when formulating policy and seeking advice. Yet he isn't ignored and instead his advice is sought out. Instead he still holds a chair at Imperial College. Instead he is still treated as someone whose opinion actually matters. Take Dr Birx for another example. Oh she says, you musn't see your family over Christmas. What does she then do? She travels to go and see her family over Christmas. One rule for the elites. Another rule for the masses. Do as we say, not as we do. Going down that route is a VERY, VERY dangerous one. It is massively corrosive to societal integrity and produces a huge amount of hatred and resentment towards those elites. What happens when that hatred and resentment reaches critical mass? Revolution, violence and the deaths of a lot of those same, hypocritical elites. I wish I were exaggerating. I wish I were not discussing something that has happened again and again over history. However I am discussing a very real danger and a very real possibility. That is especially true in the current political climate when it is not just in the public health field where the same attitude has been displayed by snobbish, foolish, incompetent elites in the United States. Get on with it: chop, chop! That's a phrase which could acquire a much darker meaning if our current ruling elites are not very careful. I really hope they are very careful, and I really hope that nothing that horrible happens. However recent behaviour and their very attitude strongly aggravate towards the worst outcomes sadly.

When the people who come in contact with the most people (police, etc) and the most vulnerable to covid (sick, old, ER room patients), they will be exposed to many workers who have been vaccinated. Since the vaccine turns workers who get infected into asymptomatic spreaders, this looks like a huge disaster. Asymptomatic transmission of the virus will go through the roof The vaccine trials did not track whether or not anyone had become contagious (Dr Mina’s self administered 20 minute test twice a week would have done this).

fist: the commonly used face masks protects nothing. it is an illusion. there were plenty of conversation about them at the begining but it seams all forgotten. 2. the virus is not necessarily more transmissable but less symptomatic. so it spreads under the hood. 3. in UK the fatality rate is more then 10fold lower then at spring. of course, there is improvement in healthcare but mostly the virus is less aggressive (see above) 4. the hospitals in UK are far less occupied then at spring and the age distribution is more elderly. 1/5 of the hospitals have higher cases but 1/2 has lower cases. together with the low fatality rate it all shows that this virus has different characteristic. its normal evolution is to be less agressive. 5. the fatality ratio is similar in many countries in Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Sweden) while other shows up a bit differently but that could be explained by cultural, geopolitical, economical causes. 6. by September 13k mutations were described worldwide. now we decided to point to UK as mutation would be a surprise.
