Dr Deborah Brix (WHO response coordinator)

We have to change our behaviour now

Before this virus moves back up through the north

New outbreaks began in under 30-year olds

California

Arizona

Dr. Fauci

States hit hard by the virus in recent weeks needed to halt or walk back their reopenings

A vaccine would likely not be “widely available” until “several months in” to 2021

US public interest research group

Need to stop taking half actions

Shut it down now (500 health experts to president)

LA

No plans for additional shutdowns

CDC

Relatively little is known about the clinical course of COVID-19 and return to baseline health for persons with milder, outpatient illness.

Multistate telephone survey of symptomatic adults who had a positive outpatient test

35% had not returned to their usual state of health 2–3 weeks after testing

Among 18–34 years with no chronic medical conditions, one in five had not returned to their usual state of health

Therefore

COVID-19 can result in prolonged illness, even among young adults without underlying chronic medical conditions.

Effective public health messaging targeting these groups is warranted.

Executive order lowering drug prices

Test results

Should be 4 days but up to 2 weeks

Masks mandated
McDonalds
Aldi
Costco
Lowe’s
Publix
Walmart

“I am very concerned right now that we are beginning to see an acceleration of disease in Africa,” Michael Ryan

If you see me wearing a mask in public and in the shops, I want you to know that...

I'm educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.

No, I don't "live in fear" of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

I don't feel like the "government controls me". I feel like I'm an adult contributing to security in our society and I want to teach others the same.

If we could all live with the consideration of others in mind, the whole world would be a much better place.

Wearing a mask doesn't make me weak, scared, stupid or even "controlled". It makes me caring.

When you think about your appearance, discomfort, or other people's opinion of you, imagine a loved one - a child, father, mother, grandparent, aunt, uncle or even a stranger - placed on a ventilator, alone without you or any family member who is allowed at his bedside.

Ask yourself if you could have helped them a little while wearing a mask.

If simply wearing a mask helps even half of all the anxious and worried people get back out there to live their lives, and strengthens our economy in the process, then I'm happy to make them feel more comfortable.

I don't know everyone out there; but I always look forward to Dr. Campell's outlets/updates/interviews. I much more trust his saying than what I hear on my national tv. I do also check the majority of the links proposed; and I must say he is bloody right. Oh! and something that also really insipires me to keep on, are all the pictures shown at the end of serious people with their masks. Keep going Dr. Campbell.

From Poland - Thank you Dr. John! With you since January 2020. And healthy on July 26, 2020, probably, thanks to you.

[kennogawa]

Call it the way you see it. Your honesty is needed in these troubling times.

[marymale-bowers]

This pandemic seems to revolve around politics and money. What happened to caring about people and helping each other.

[dlghadden]

I'm in Florida. Thank you for your report. Thank you for this valuable service and the time that you are spending to make it available to us. God bless you!!!!

[jenniferbrighty]

Will definitely be wearing a mask both outside and in the shops. You have helped to make me a little less worried about going out and about x im a 65yr old lady I'm disabled.
THANKYOU again for writing what you did.
Much love from Lancashire England UK xxx keep safe and well x xx

Watching from southern Indiana (greater Louisville, KY...where those NFAC protests were this weekend...I live 10 minutes away from there.). As always, thanks so much for all you have done and continue to do to get this information out to us. I have been a faithful, daily viewer of your videos since mid-January. I am very grateful to you. A simple “Thank You” is the only way I know how to express my gratitude to you. God bless you, Dr. John!

[dawndouglas]

Afternoon John, thankyou for your realistic info, even though it's sometimes depressing! We need the truth, good or bad and you give us that truth! Your a perfect Gent too! Enjoy the rest of your sunday

[memomorph]

A lot of Americans including myself can’t afford to be tested for all those secondary symptoms. I tested positive for antibodies last month but can’t get any other screenings because of cost. It knocked me flat and I was healthy. I’m 21 and no co-morbidities

[sofias]

Dr John thank you for speaking your mind. Your opinion is so valued 🙏!!!

[lastlight]

The US "leveling off" data are very suspect as of the change in how data are reported. Thank you for acknowledging that!

[tomasviane]

"I used to buy a lot of drugs for Eastern Europe in the 90s"...

Only you can get away with that, Dr John.

[smrj]

😅 wonderful having the opportunity to see, hear, + be informed (by you).

[rad]

This virus is still with us, why are people flying off on vacation to other country's while the virus is still here?

[charlesduit]

I am in Portland, and I will tell you that the people starting fire's and damaging property, are NOT, from here, they're outside agent's. I live about 10 mi west of Portland in kind City

[stoertebecker]

Thank you again John for keeping us up to date!

I hope they never quote you out of context ".. I used to buy a lot of drugs... for eastern europe... in the 90s" @14:08

[freebirdh]

Thank you Dr C, always welcome in my home, at an appropriate distance of course.

Did my click and collect shopping yesterday and wow, what a massive difference! I only saw 1 person, no mask ( it was a Waitrose partner, so I will assume that he had a medical reason) worlds away from previous shopping trips (where a very few others were wearing masks). On this occasion I have to say well done to the UK public and shop staff near Portsmouth UK. ✌️🙌. I did appreciate the saying that has apparently gone viral. That speaks of what I (and others) have put into practice since late March/ early April. Better late than never and to whoever articulated those words, well done, that person. ❤️😉✌️☮️. Be safe everyone, I feel that I might be able to finally shop with confidence now!

[mayurpatil]

I m 30 years old, contracted virus . Show symptoms on 1st June and still have symptoms like sleep disturbances, GI disturbances, headaches . Please take it seriously

[claraelizabeth]

Stay safe, Doctor. I always stay vigilant thanks to you.

[merlindodson]

The circumvention of data from the CDC by the White House is an outrage. How are Americans not jumping up and down about this? No one blinked with NDAA in the last administration which was an even greater risk to freedom. The America I live in today is far less safe and far less free than the one I was born in.
