i.e. most reinfections had Ct of more than 30, indicating lower viral load

Therefore, unlikely to be very symptomatic

Survey updates

"Tuesday the 7th of December"... I actually freaked out for a moment thinking I had severely lost track of time.

[TheLonelyGoomba]

"social distancing is the norm now".

I mean, I cannot relate to that at all. When going outside no one is social distancing or wearing masks.

[rickhale]

I find myself not getting to close to people . If I go to any store I'm there when the store first open. Less contact with people.

[vighneshkoalapan]

i have been social distancing my whole life, welcome to my world. Enjoy!

[bradmansdad]

Statistics on the immunity from being Infected only (with NO vaccines) seems to be not talked about ever! WHY

[srd]

Your updates are the most informative - thank you very much.
Ex-healthcare worker in the U.S. now in Civil Service in Los Angeles, CA ( not exactly the U.S. backwoods) and the level of resistance, ignorance and just flat out ideology and indifference here is truly astounding,
Again, thank you for your work.

How many people took vitamin D vitamin C zinc and ivermectin and ended up in intensive care? What are the zinc vitamin D vitamin C levels of people in intensive care. They are the most important questions that need answering.

[uberultrametamega]

Dr. Campbell, could you do an update on ivermectin. It seems that the validity of a number studies have been called into question. What is your assessment at this time?

[Queen-of-Swords]

I kinda miss the old "paper and fountain pen" style presentation, John!

[shirley-BEE-Van-Life____]

I miss looking out your window at mother nature. Thank you for the info. Keep up the great videos’. 😊👍

Forget about infection, hospital admisions are all that matters.

[johnvignogna]

Love your work Dr John
you really present the data in an easy way to digest
appreciate the daily reporting

[SatisfactionUK]

I have had both doses of the vaccine and take zinc and Vitamins D and K2 every day. So I should be reasonably well positioned to overcome a virus infection.

[HoneybeeAdventures]

I agree in the part of the UK that I live in MOST people wear masks in the supermarkets and social distancing is the norm with acquaintances. To be fair a lot of places still require masks - Like medical places and government offices.

[kingfisherphil]

December? Is there something we need to know?

[tomm]

Some members of my family (one of them is diabetic, overweight with bronchiectasis) caught covid but apart from feeling weak with loss of taste it was just like a bad cold. They have been taking high doses of vitamin D for some time.

[rvdb]

Unfortunately, as long as they continue to use the (unreliable) PCR test to determine the number of cases, which was intended to keep the numbers artificially high, the numbers and data will, unfortunately, remain unreliable.

[lynnscott]

I'm firmly against vaccine mandates for all adults. I'm in the US.

[junbug]

Dr. John, you must like December! LOL.

[mariamiguel]

"escaped from a laboratory"....I seriously believe that due to the convenient secrecy of the Chinese government very unfortunately, we will never know what exactly has happened.
