I haven't even got a mild cold since february, and I always get nasty colds or pharyngitis every year. Hand washing, social distancing and masks are not only preventing covid19.
Same. Been taking vitamin D and C too. Still getting hay fever as the pollen count is very high at times though, even with anti histamines. Can't have it every way.
@@sharonsloan In fact, now that we are used to wearing masks, we should do it when we start feeling unwell, to avoid spreading common viruses, even when this pandemic ends.
@@pedrosmith221 in Japan and China people have been doing that for decades. Same reason as we're doing it, to stop spreading it and especially in Japan it's extremely rude to blow your nose so they just sniff it up all day.
@@pedrosmith221 yes. If politicians would a enacted masks with h1 N1we would have saved more lives by just preventing common flu then we have lost to the entire covid-19 pandemic
I rarely comment, but I feel the need to show my support to you John. I have been watching your videos since the UK gained its first case. I have not agreed with you all the way, but your opinions and your ability to explain the facts to me (and I'm sure others) has been invaluable during these difficult times. Please keep it up and thank you.
Scaremongering - NO - if it wasn't for John's updates I would have had to be reliant on mainstream media and governmental 'briefings', in other words lies, damn lies and statistics. Thank you John.
Exactly,For the imbeciles who accuse him of scare mongering, would they prefer the diabolical situation Brazil and America are trying to navigate, the old saying a stitch in time saves nine, he's not saying, to go into hermit mode, he's constantly recommending masks and physical distance,simple.
@Logic genius The worlds largest antibody studies put covid19's IFR around 1%, not the 0.1% that the SWPRS site suggestions. We've had nearly 70,000 excess deaths already this year, which were not purely caused by the lockdown. If were not for the lockdown this figure would be way higher. Regarding the HCID status, just take a look at the fatality rates of those diseases which are considered a HCID, then look at how little they spread when compared to covid19. Then you should realise why governments across the world have taken the action they have.
Been watching your videos since mid January. Thank you dr John for provide indepth, concise and most importantly, observable factual information. No political shenanigans round here! Stay safe
We don’t thank you enough for these daily videos and tell you how important and informative they are. You explain complicated (well, for me anyway) topics in a way that I can understand and remember.
I agree with Theresa. These are difficult times and your videos are reassuring because you are addressing complicated issues with an honesty that our leaders are lacking. Thank you Dr. Campbell. Bless your heart.
Thank you so much for your daily time and effort to help others. Very impressive and a good example to encourage us all to do what we can to make our communities and our world a healthier more caring environment for all. Committment, love, good cheer and kind caring... what goes around comes around!! All the best to you, Dr. John, your dear ones, and all beings everywhere 💖🙏💚🐾 Happy gardening!!🍃🌹🍀☘🌻🌱🐞🌺🦋🐸🌞
@@esecallum I thought you didn't like the doctor and putting that in big letters tut tut thought that would upset the animal lovers I have seen many of your comments you don't come out as neither a animal lover or of your fellow man chew on that bud
"Well, foresight beats hindsight." A meat packing plant near my residence had three cases who were sent home with pay and face masks were mandatory for all the rest. Plexiglass masks were used for management. Transportation was sterilized as by me and hand sanitizer with the handling of money. N 95 mask not the cheap ones and guess what? No new cases.
Excellent. So glad you are being proactive and educating others. Keep watching Dr. John Campbell's videos and telling others. We are proud of you. I am sending love and hugs from Washington State, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR.
Regarding your opinion that "More political leaders should be SCIENTISTS, NURSES, DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND TECHNOLOGISTS: PEOPLE WHO INTERACT WITH THE REAL WORLD..." , I totally agree. The problem is that most people in those professions are already helping the world more than politicians are, and are too smart to lower ourselves to the selfish power trip of a legal profession. We need more real world leaders and less politicians!
Back in the 30s we had a amazing minister in Poland who was a chemical engineer, guy literally used his sheer knowledge on how chemicals and industry work that he helped kickstart the economy and modernise the country in just a couple of years. Don't get those types of leaders anymore.
@@GladIRecognizedABeautifulSoul The problem is there are too many people with a patience of 2 months and when it snows again they proclaim: ''AHA! There's your global warming, suckers!'' Wait 2 months and the world isn't literally ending and then proclaim: ''AHA! There's you pandemic! Nothing happened! Suckers!'' Also confirmation bias is fucking strong nowadays
@@louyelich8680 There are lots of problems. "Making" people follow anything is dictatorial. Otherwise it becomes voluntary. For contrast, look at America. A famous old saying here is "Give me liberty or give me death!". Well, in America people have a 'right' to assemble because of the First Amendment to the Constitution. This boils down to the fact that people are free to go into crowds and swap germs while exercising their rights of freedom of speech. Too bad most of them do not exercise common sense.
@@andrewmartin6445 This is the UK. Our government is too stupid to organise anything like that. I would be surprised if Boris remembered to do up his flies.
Your stamina to keep content coming is absolutely staggering through this experience, thank you for being a voice of calm and reason in a truly insane world! x
Check out Dr. Coleman, another old British chap, but actually worked as a real doctor, and routinely gets censored by TH-cam for the truth. Dr. Campbell's videos all remain up because they fit the official narrative, which is a lie and has been wrong since the start. For a real doctor with real info, see Dr. Coleman.
@@drutter I have followed Vernon Coleman for some time. I think he presents a welcome antidote to the constant barrage of fear-mongering propaganda in the media by showing that covid-19 presents about as much threat to human life as a seasonal flu rather than being some sort of unprecedented plague that poses such threat to all human life on earth that all human activity has to be severely restricted and monitored. He also discusses the many ethical issues raised by the measures imposed on us supposedly taken to protect us from it and the many vested interests on the part of politicians, scientific advisors and the pharmaceutical industry that are inextricably woven into the pandemic scenario. It is impossible to have an honest conversation about this subject without taking these things into account.. Vernon Coleman is far from being the only informed commentator highlighting these things, but he does communicate them in an accessible way to a lay audience.
Hello, Dr. John from Goldsboro, North Carolina in the U.S. where it appears (to me) that two-thirds of the folks I observe out and about take the current situation seriously to some degree but others are just as determined not to be lectured and forced to wear masks and maintain social distancing. Who knows if they even wash their hands frequently. Many people here are still of the narrow-minded opinion that it's the government controlling the population to which I ask, "Are you aware this is a worldwide pandemic?" To which I get blank stares or replies of "conspiracy theories" or such. I don't know, it's almost as if there is an underlying affliction affecting common sense or respect. I am lucky. I am retired and can sit at home all day if I wish. Today I did have to go to the grocery store or "market" as you might say. There I observed the employees strictly performing their sanitizing tasks, cleaning cart handles after each use, marks on floors in checkout lines to maintain social distancing, the clerks using hand sanitizer after each customer, etc. Anyway, just writing you to let you know that I, along with many others, appreciate the effort you go through everyday to keep us informed. I watch as many of your videos as possible, not a big fan of the "telly" as you Brits refer to it. I enjoy watching history documentaries and such. Have a great weekend! Robert in NC.
I live in North Carolina, US as well. The opposite end of you. Went to Walmart this last Wednesday; most people were wearing masks. Employees were working in masks as well as sanitizing carts and floors (remarkable, really!). Several customers were NOT wearing masks and yet again, a man tried to engage my 83 year old husband (in a mask) about the foolishness of all this nonsense. What can I say? You can't fix stupid.
Mr Brown & Ladybug - I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Today was the first day that our city mandated mask wearing. However, I don't think there is any consequence if you don't wear a mask. My town has been flooded with tourist from all over the country since May 1st. Almost no tourist have been wearing masks or social distancing. It's been non-stop party time. I too am retired and have stayed away from the crowds as best I can. Today I had to go to the grocery store. I wore a mask (I've been mask wearing for weeks) as did most of the customers - for the first time. However, the store was crowded with entire families in tow - for some reason tourist have to grocery shop with every member of their extended family. They shop in huge groups, it's not unusual to see 6 to 10 members of the family from babies to grandparents. There were swarms of children running amuck throughout the store - children with no face mask and absolutely no sense of social distancing. Today I did not see any extra effort by store employees to sanitize - there was no sanitizing of cart handles, the directional markers on the floor had been removed, and the keypads on the credit card devices were NOT being cleaned between customers!!! It's as if store management has just given up. I look at all these people and wonder if they ever wash their hands! The people in my town will continue to spread this virus as long as it circulates in humans!
you'd think right , but apparently there aren't even people that can skip a pint for a weekend ... so perhaps you have got to reconsider taking your own stance as the normal and thus that of others. I've done so and it explains a lot in the world...
@Stephen Morris I assume it's because he's seen them and most of them would clearly struggle not to put it on their arse backwards. They aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the firmament, to put it mildly.
@@jfryer485 There's a multiple vaccine used around the world maybe its the one you're talking about, I think its called BGT it's no longer in use in North America, Europe, Australia and NZ in mid march it was looking good, you could rule out the last two because of proactivity, but since Brazil, Mexico and lack of trustworthy stats it's looking a bit cloudy, that's not to say it isn't helping. Dr C has looked at it in previous blogs and Drbean.
@Dr. John Campbell I'd love to hear your coverage on the new swine virus. I love listening to you - you're such a perfect mix of facts, science, and genuine concern for the human race. Thank you for all you do!
Excellent update, as always. I am really glad that you talked about the problematics of mink farms. So many artificial materials are as soft, fluffy, warm as fur, there is no need to run these farms anymore. Poor minks :(
Dr Campbell we need you to network with the WHO , CDC. You have a logical, knowledge approach to the virus, how to contain, how to live safety with the virus until a vaccination is developed. Thanks for all the information you provide to us each day in your blog. We love you in the US.
You do realise that one of the biggest sponsors of the WHO is the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, don't you? You do realise that the WHO keep changing their recommendations? You do realise that the WHO sponsors Hydroxychloroquine test that are designed to fail? Of course you do, and you may be right that Dr Campbell would fit in quite nicely in that organisation.
Government has decided that all mink farms in NL will be closed before the end of this year, 2 years earlier than previously targeted. Agree with the uselessness of mink farming.
He didn't close everything down like before, this week's order only closed specific things (bars, gyms, tubing businesses, a few other things). Most everything else is still open (stores, salons, etc). This also doesn't mention the fact there are quite a few gyms ignoring the order to shut down again and are open and running operations like normal.
00:00- 27:11 - UK update 27:12 - Philippines 28:06 - Netherlands 30:20 - South Africa 32:24 - Mexico 33:30 - Australia Thank you Dr Campbell as always!
Can't you get all this information on line? You can see every country and even states broken down to counties or zipcodes on many sites. Lot more scientific information available too. He gives a basic wrap up, but there's so much more available online. To have him as your main source is inadequate.
Marie ELSTER - I think we’re all bright to have actually realised this a summary and more detail is available if we need it. What exactly was the point of your comment other than to assume we are all absolute morons??
Imagine being told that despite feeling 100% fine, you were a modern day Typhoid Mary working in retail or food service... The feeling of guilt would be massive for me.
If I was doing everything correctly, and especially if I was helping society to keep functioning, but ended up spreading an invisible virus then I wouldn't feel guilty about it and no one else should make me.
Me too. I encounter too many attitudes that lack compassion for them or respect for wildlife - and that makes me very sad. I'm thankful for every person who is not like this - they give me hope.
Thanks Dr. John! As always you bring us honest coverage of what’s going on and what might happen in the near future. It’s insane to me that more people don’t see the simplicity of a face covering! 🙁 You’re awesome!
Don't they need to actually measure the patient's bladder volume to know whether s/he has urinated or not before falling over, to, you know, distinguish between a PFO and an Unpissed Fell Over (UFO)? ;-)
Thank you Dr Campbell. I look up every place you name and my knowledge of geography keeps expanding. Sadly, due to the pandemic i shall probably never get to visit any. I agree with you about the minks and factory farming. I didn’t know anybody still did that.
Pubs are NOT open in Ireland. Restaurants ARE open. Pubs that provide a substantial meal (costing 9 euro or more) are allowed to open. Alcohol can be served with the meal. You are allowed an hour and 45 minutes for the meal and you then have to leave the premises.
Just wanted to share that today I had a covid test here in Ontario, Canada. I'm going in for elective surgery on Tuesday so they test. It wasn't too bad! Not pleasant, but do-able. Here's hoping for negative results!
you DO understand that the tests are shite right? The man who invented the test made it very very clear that it was NOT for the diagnosis of an illness..... Good luck with that. th-cam.com/video/VzyUbbJMAEE/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
My pet mink "little Frankie" heard what you said. He's having a total freak out. He seems to think all minks will be painted by your wide brush. I'll make him a drink or two and hope he doesn't remember.
I've heard that local pubs will be turning the music down so folk don't have to shout. I really hope these frontline establishments play their part in preventing PFOs - it would be indefensible to burden the NHS so irresponsibly.
Most of the professional bodies representing NHS staff have already objected in the strongest possible terms to the rush to reopen the pubs. Not merely because of the expected carnage in A&Es around England, but because they well know that the consequences of pushing NHS capacity again with increased spread and a possible surge will be catastrophic.
I was annoyed and horrified to get an email from school yesterday that "ALL" children must return to school in September and parents will be fined if we don't comply. We seem to be living in a dictatorship!!. I am 66 my partner had a stroke in 2019, we have been bringing up my granddaughter since birth. She is due to start year 10 in September. We are happy to continue home learning as I am retired and have a reasonable level of education to support this. Would you not think the ones that can do this will improve the environment at school for those who do need to be there. September is the very worst time to risk large groups of children gathering... they spread infections so well!!
@Erika Barber Hi Erika.. I am un the UK in Someset. Boris Johnson our prime minister has said he wants all children back at school in September. Like Covid will just miraculously have gone away. I can see the R being higher again by then...madness.
Totally agree, also hate the carnage caused when groups release them into the wild. Every fish, small to medium birds, rabbit, cat, rodent, etc, all living in balance in that area gets massacred. Sad thing is because released mink in big groups saturate and kill everything edible they starve to death anyway. Done them little favour or the local wildlife.
@@BubblesTheCat1 No, it's a small, ferret-like and completely obnoxious animal raised for its luxurious fur. It has a reputation of being wildly oversexed with its fur used to adorn rich, clueless women who feel wearing the pelts of dead animals is a display of superior fashion sense.

Thank you Dr John, watch yout updates every night, have done for months, absolutely brilliant to have someone like you giving un biased, non politised facts and advice. Please keep up the good work 🙂
Hello Dr. Campbell. Thank you for the excellent update as usual. I have noticed here in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC that there seems to be a decrease in common colds since the quarantine/lockdown has began (it started in early March here). This is likely due to social distancing, mask wearing, hand-washing and decreased person-to-person interaction. I am hoping that the spread of flu virus in the fall will be similarly reduced by these factors as well. Thanks again for all the time you spend to provide evidence-based, trust-worthy information to the public. Best Regards, Alice Karr, FNP-BC
I live in Brent London, Wembley was very busy today, four neighbours on my street died from covid-19, it looked today like such a normal day, scary to be honest.
Chris Mullan, So glad you are watching Dr. John Campbell's videos. Keep taking precautions and we are thinking of you. I am sending love and hugs from Washington State, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR.
The news from Victoria about a super spreader is actually amazingly good news. Because the alternative was that cases were just 'spontaneously erupting' with community spread that had no hope of ever being shut down. Which would have made Test and Trace a complete nightmare to do effectively. Whereas 1 elusive superspreader is troubling and difficult to catch, but not impossible
So successful countries can continue to suppress the virus hard. Keeping deaths and new infections close to zero. Thus avoiding the awful double-whammy of the worst of both worlds. Which is having repeated lockdowns crippling the economy and a continuous spread and level of infection still killing many, many people.
@@Campbellteaching Spontaneous community spread was the nightmare scenario and you could see Victoria Health Officials were visibly troubled by the possibility. It's also why they dug down so hard and why this will paradoxically come as a relief to them. It also means they can now refine and improve their techniques /guidelines accordingly for elusive superspreaders.
@@Campbellteaching in Australia we have countless people breaking the lockdown in Victoria. many left the evening before. Now travelling around the country bragging of it. infuriating to see people endangering others with no regard
Fiona Bogden, yes don’t these people just frustrate the hell out of the country, where their heads are at is anyone’s guess, perhaps they simply don’t give a stuff about anyone but themselves. I live in Queensland and am not wanting the boarders to open just yet, I feel it’s too soon and want the tourist industry to be able to access job keeper for longer, the regions will never cope with rapid spread they will send patients to Townsville, Cairns or MacKay I can’t imagine the smaller hospitals in Rockhampton, Longreach, Charleville, Cloncurry or Emerald managing it’s very risky.
Try not to let the media scare you. There are new studies in Sweden that show that the country may be close to natural herd immunity. You are lucky to live in such a safe place!
If you think that swedish norn people are gonna give you trouble if you weaer a mask , then you are wrong. The only time you would get comments would be if you met drunk people. Otherwise we would not even comment on it. Swedes are often to shy to even talk to strangers.
Re pubs in Ireland: it’s 105 minutes (along with the necessity of purchasing a ‘substantial’ meal) in order to avoid people getting drunk and violating the rules.
@@LaSorciereFeuillue massive govt overreach. If they put us in prison then we'd have food and shelter, our lives would be secure but our freedom gone. A man who trades his freedoms for security deserves neither.
On the topic of air-conditioning, my friend who works in a multi-storey bank HQ in China said when they returned to work, the outdoor temperature was 40 Celsius but the use of air conditioning was prohibited. Hopefully the US is aware and acting in a similar way where possible.
Thank you Dr. John. I resptect so much all your research through the pandemic and all your advices and thoughts. Every video is invaluable, thank you so much from Mexico.

“As long as Man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.” ― Pythagoras
"There's nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will act like lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now." "The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world"..."But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness." - Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
@@YonderMegs22 The storybook like quality of the world. This is interesting. Let's ask who is creating the narratives to be enacted? Watch these people closely. Know your enemy better than you do your friends. At the same time make and take control of our own narratives according to our principles. It takes two to dance don't you think?
Totally agree with you about the animals. Love all animals anyway but Let's respect them, let's leave them alone in their own habitats. Thanks for the tutorial
Dr. John Campbell, you tell the truth. If people are afraid it’s because they should be. Please keep on with your fine work. You are such a help - your info decreases my fear by increasing my knowledge of the disease and how to avoid it. Many, many people feel like I do. All respect and gratitude, my faraway friend. Your presence on the airwaves is a gift beyond telling. -One of many fans in the USA
I can still remember DeSantis angrily shaming reporters about three to four weeks ago. He was saying Florida had beaten covid-19 and the reporters just wouldn't recognize it.
@@PJ-wv7dd the deaths will have a lower rate than New Jersey until Florida hospitals are overwhelmed. Since New Jersey we have discovered three treatments that reduce the death rate by about 35% total. That's another reason to slow and flatten spread and to avoid getting sick as long as possible even if you think it's inevitable. Because a year from now the death rate might be down 60% or they might discover a vaccine. Also if you have a million cases of covid-19, that's a million chances for it to mutate in some way that makes it more lethal or more contagious. (p.s. I hate my new phone- it voice types everything wrong).
@Northern Light I was not a fan of the Florida Governor's early reaction to the pandemic, but give credit where credit is due infected elderly patients were not allowed into care homes from hospitals (time may have been on their side) they probably so far have one of the lowest care home fatality rates in the USA and I'm sure it's for the reason you have described a potential powder keg. Let's hope they can keep it like that.
@Paul Nolan there's no such thing as Darwinism, dude. There's Social Darwinism and there is evolution in it's various forms. Feel free to expose your dangerous stupidity and or willful ignorance trying to explain.
Morning Dr John, As you’re answering the question regarding the flu vaccine could you please also tell us if the pneumonia vaccine could help if you happened to get coronavirus. I mean could it make the symptoms less bad? Thank you for all your doing for us
I'm rather surprised at your lack of diligence iin keeping the pub & brewery industries in the UK fully funded by your late morning arrival. If you require assistance, we'll be happy to help....
Thank you John. Scaremongering NO WAY. You say it as you see it, I watch every day and I believe I have learnt so much by watching, and I share my opinions with my friends, who by the way think me to be so well informed. Again Thank you
Wouldn’t the mink have caught it from a human to start with..? Completely agree with the awfulness of the way animals are treated. It is today’s slavery of powerless living beings.
House of Ren I think you’ll do fine tbh. Yes cases will go up but if only the less vulnerable get it in low case numbers and are caught quick and quarantined you’ll manage this.
“In England the pubs’ are going to open from 6am, Dr John, well I don’t start drinking until half past so I won’t be rushing down.” Totally priceless, but hits the point home don’t get plastered & end up in A&Z getting plastered 🥴 😂😂
My husband and I laughed like crazy. Then I thought hmmmm, maybe he meant 6:30 in the evening? I still like to think it was Dr. John's dry humor coming through again but, he didn't have the slightest twinkle in his eye this time.
I haven't had the flu vaccine in 20 years and had the flu only once during that time. I think keeping your immune system strong is a key factor in prevention and dealing with the flu. BTW I am 62 years old and live in NYC. As far as COVID-19 is concerned I believe keeping your immune system strong, wearing a mask and social distancing are three important elements in warding off the COVID-19.
In the United States, when they put the seat belt laws in effect there was a catchy phrase used." Click it or ticket". We now need one for masks...how about " Mask it or Casket". Simple chants for simple people.
I never get flu and never get a vaccination, because the one time I did get one, four years ago, it made me very ill and took me almost two years to feel really well again. I hope we will not be forced to get one this year.
Not necessarily. Having looked into this a bit the idea that vitamin s C D and zinc boost your immune system and make you less likely to suffer greatly from covid-19 seems highly plausible. Plus hydroxy clq used in severely affected patients has been shown to help I believe. Would be interesting to hear John's thoughts on this as he clearly supports vitamin D for boosting immune system.
Most of the EU and the NHS here have all stopped use of HCQ, it was trialled many times by each health service. I think the NHS had said was it was useless due to the late stage people would present themselves at hospital. This was of course the NHS plan to prevent the mass overload as seen in Italy and Spain. Back at the start Germany, France and the U.K. ran four trials of 200 cases on HCQ and one patient in France had a tiny improvement. Once more cases were available they trialled extensively. In Spain the news reported doctors and staff were attacked back in Mar-Apr because families found out they stopped using it. They’d also found it useless. No harm in trying but plenty harm in forcing ineffective treatment when we’d found other medicines worked.
Good stuff John from N Ireland. I am a gp here , and delighted that you couldn't remember our Deputy First Minister's name as you are therefore apolitical. As with everything here, it has of course become political but it is , as you say , only a public health issue and that is all .
We are doing Genomic sequencing in the UK, the Nike Conference outbreak earlier this year in Edinburgh was sequenced and the virus had come from Italy, and it was confirmed that the people infected did not contribute to community spread of the virus in the wider Scottish population, Dr Gregor Smith CMO for Scotland announced this a few weeks ago at the daily briefing.

@JohanMDK Google "sewer samples coronavirus" and "Sewer samples covid-19" It turns out that many regularly take samples from their sewer systems and freeze them. About a month ago some bright person thought to check these stored samples for evidence of covid-19.
i don't know about farmed furs, but synthetic fur alternatives are usually made of plastic or patrolium biproduct so there's actually a climate change case to be made against them - at least wild hunted furs are significantly lower impact, and of course naturally decompose in a way synthetics do not. I don't know the numbers on farmed fur in terms of carbon footprint - i assume it varies by farm, but synthetics have their own issues.

I have not agreed with you all the way, but your opinions and your ability to explain the facts to me (and I'm sure others) has been invaluable during these difficult times.
Please keep it up and thank you.
I appreciate that

I would go so far as to say outstanding!
Agreed, Dr Campbell provides a ‘signal’ amongst all the ‘noise’ on this topic. And boy oh boy is there a lot of noise out there!
Yes, I also like the fact that doctor doesn't waste time with conspiracy theories and the like.
Just facts.
Thanks
Dr Campbell. You are a very wise person. Greatly appreciate your knowledge and advice.
Scaremongering - NO - if it wasn't for John's updates I would have had to be reliant on mainstream media and governmental 'briefings', in other words lies, damn lies and statistics. Thank you John.

Exactly,For the imbeciles who accuse him of scare mongering, would they prefer the diabolical situation Brazil and America are trying to navigate, the old saying a stitch in time saves nine, he's not saying, to go into hermit mode, he's constantly recommending masks and physical distance,simple.
@Logic genius The worlds largest antibody studies put covid19's IFR around 1%, not the 0.1% that the SWPRS site suggestions. We've had nearly 70,000 excess deaths already this year, which were not purely caused by the lockdown. If were not for the lockdown this figure would be way higher.
Regarding the HCID status, just take a look at the fatality rates of those diseases which are considered a HCID, then look at how little they spread when compared to covid19. Then you should realise why governments across the world have taken the action they have.
Been watching your videos since mid January. Thank you dr John for provide indepth, concise and most importantly, observable factual information. No political shenanigans round here! Stay safe
We don’t thank you enough for these daily videos and tell you how important and informative they are. You explain complicated (well, for me anyway) topics in a way that I can understand and remember.
I appreciate that!
I agree with Theresa. These are difficult times and your videos are reassuring because you are addressing complicated issues with an honesty that our leaders are lacking.
Thank you Dr. Campbell. Bless your heart.

Very impressive and a good example to encourage us all to do what we can to make our communities and our world a healthier more caring environment for all.

Dr Campbell thank you for speaking up for animals.
Regarding your opinion that "More political leaders should be SCIENTISTS, NURSES, DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND TECHNOLOGISTS: PEOPLE WHO INTERACT WITH THE REAL WORLD..." , I totally agree.
The problem is that most people in those professions are already helping the world more than politicians are, and are too smart to lower ourselves to the selfish power trip of a legal profession. We need more real world leaders and less politicians!
Back in the 30s we had a amazing minister in Poland who was a chemical engineer, guy literally used his sheer knowledge on how chemicals and industry work that he helped kickstart the economy and modernise the country in just a couple of years. Don't get those types of leaders anymore.

@@louyelich8680 There are lots of problems. "Making" people follow anything is dictatorial. Otherwise it becomes voluntary. For contrast, look at America.

Check out Dr. Coleman, another old British chap, but actually worked as a real doctor, and routinely gets censored by TH-cam for the truth. Dr. Campbell's videos all remain up because they fit the official narrative, which is a lie and has been wrong since the start. For a real doctor with real info, see Dr. Coleman.
@@drutter
I have followed Vernon Coleman for some time. I think he presents a welcome antidote to the constant barrage of fear-mongering propaganda in the media by showing that covid-19 presents about as much threat to human life as a seasonal flu rather than being some sort of unprecedented plague that poses such threat to all human life on earth that all human activity has to be severely restricted and monitored.
He also discusses the many ethical issues raised by the measures imposed on us supposedly taken to protect us from it and the many vested interests on the part of politicians, scientific advisors and the pharmaceutical industry that are inextricably woven into the pandemic scenario.
It is impossible to have an honest conversation about this subject without taking these things into account..
Vernon Coleman is far from being the only informed commentator highlighting these things, but he does communicate them in an accessible way to a lay audience.
Dr John's very good at social distancing, he never leaves his room
Like that 😀
Hello, Dr. John from Goldsboro, North Carolina in the U.S. where it appears (to me) that two-thirds of the folks I observe out and about take the current situation seriously to some degree but others are just as determined not to be lectured and forced to wear masks and maintain social distancing. Who knows if they even wash their hands frequently. Many people here are still of the narrow-minded opinion that it's the government controlling the population to which I ask, "Are you aware this is a worldwide pandemic?" To which I get blank stares or replies of "conspiracy theories" or such. I don't know, it's almost as if there is an underlying affliction affecting common sense or respect. I am lucky. I am retired and can sit at home all day if I wish. Today I did have to go to the grocery store or "market" as you might say. There I observed the employees strictly performing their sanitizing tasks, cleaning cart handles after each use, marks on floors in checkout lines to maintain social distancing, the clerks using hand sanitizer after each customer, etc. Anyway, just writing you to let you know that I, along with many others, appreciate the effort you go through everyday to keep us informed. I watch as many of your videos as possible, not a big fan of the "telly" as you Brits refer to it. I enjoy watching history documentaries and such. Have a great weekend! Robert in NC.
I live in North Carolina, US as well. The opposite end of you. Went to Walmart this last Wednesday; most people were wearing masks. Employees were working in masks as well as sanitizing carts and floors (remarkable, really!). Several customers were NOT wearing masks and yet again, a man tried to engage my 83 year old husband (in a mask) about the foolishness of all this nonsense. What can I say? You can't fix stupid.
It's obviously being used as cover for social engineering worldwide. I personally can't believe lockdown forever fanatics can't see this.
Mr Brown & Ladybug - I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Today was the first day that our city mandated mask wearing. However, I don't think there is any consequence if you don't wear a mask. My town has been flooded with tourist from all over the country since May 1st. Almost no tourist have been wearing masks or social distancing. It's been non-stop party time. I too am retired and have stayed away from the crowds as best I can. Today I had to go to the grocery store. I wore a mask (I've been mask wearing for weeks) as did most of the customers - for the first time. However, the store was crowded with entire families in tow - for some reason tourist have to grocery shop with every member of their extended family. They shop in huge groups, it's not unusual to see 6 to 10 members of the family from babies to grandparents. There were swarms of children running amuck throughout the store - children with no face mask and absolutely no sense of social distancing. Today I did not see any extra effort by store employees to sanitize - there was no sanitizing of cart handles, the directional markers on the floor had been removed, and the keypads on the credit card devices were NOT being cleaned between customers!!! It's as if store management has just given up. I look at all these people and wonder if they ever wash their hands! The people in my town will continue to spread this virus as long as it circulates in humans!

I've heard that local pubs will be turning the music down so folk don't have to shout.
I really hope these frontline establishments play their part in preventing PFOs - it would be indefensible to burden the NHS so irresponsibly.
Most of the professional bodies representing NHS staff have already objected in the strongest possible terms to the rush to reopen the pubs. Not merely because of the expected carnage in A&Es around England, but because they well know that the consequences of pushing NHS capacity again with increased spread and a possible surge will be catastrophic.

Hello Dr. Campbell. Thank you for the excellent update as usual. I have noticed here in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC that there seems to be a decrease in common colds since the quarantine/lockdown has began (it started in early March here). This is likely due to social distancing, mask wearing, hand-washing and decreased person-to-person interaction. I am hoping that the spread of flu virus in the fall will be similarly reduced by these factors as well. Thanks again for all the time you spend to provide evidence-based, trust-worthy information to the public.

The news from Victoria about a super spreader is actually amazingly good news. Because the alternative was that cases were just 'spontaneously erupting' with community spread that had no hope of ever being shut down. Which would have made Test and Trace a complete nightmare to do effectively. Whereas 1 elusive superspreader is troubling and difficult to catch, but not impossible
So successful countries can continue to suppress the virus hard. Keeping deaths and new infections close to zero. Thus avoiding the awful double-whammy of the worst of both worlds. Which is having repeated lockdowns crippling the economy and a continuous spread and level of infection still killing many, many people.
Good point
@@Campbellteaching Spontaneous community spread was the nightmare scenario and you could see Victoria Health Officials were visibly troubled by the possibility. It's also why they dug down so hard and why this will paradoxically come as a relief to them. It also means they can now refine and improve their techniques /guidelines accordingly for elusive superspreaders.

@@YonderMegs22 thank you for connecting me with this wise man.. th-cam.com/video/GhFw6frrGrU/w-d-xo.html
PFO - Can't remember what the P stands for, completely deadpan - made me laugh :)
I was going through all the medical terms then suddenly it hit me what he meant lol
Pissed and fell over!
I guess PFOP patients are even more dreaded.
@@parlabaneisback not as much as the -S suffix I bet
Totally agree with you about the animals. Love all animals anyway but Let's respect them, let's leave them alone in their own habitats.
Thanks for the tutorial
Proud to be “ riff raff”❣️☘️❣️
Yeah, but that is not good.🙉🙈🙊
Well Stanley Johnson I presume isn't riff raff. I wonder if the PM was aware of his father's intentions! Appalling!
Dr. John Campbell, you tell the truth. If people are afraid it’s because they should be.
Please keep on with your fine work. You are such a help - your info decreases my fear by increasing my knowledge of the disease and how to avoid it. Many, many people feel like I do. All respect and gratitude, my faraway friend. Your presence on the airwaves is a gift beyond telling.

Florida Passes New Jersey With More Than 175,000 Confirmed COVID-19 Cases
So how long before Florid'a Total Deaths catch up and pass NJ's??
I can still remember DeSantis angrily shaming reporters about three to four weeks ago. He was saying Florida had beaten covid-19 and the reporters just wouldn't recognize it.
@@PJ-wv7dd the deaths will have a lower rate than New Jersey until Florida hospitals are overwhelmed. Since New Jersey we have discovered three treatments that reduce the death rate by about 35% total.
That's another reason to slow and flatten spread and to avoid getting sick as long as possible even if you think it's inevitable. Because a year from now the death rate might be down 60% or they might discover a vaccine.
Also if you have a million cases of covid-19, that's a million chances for it to mutate in some way that makes it more lethal or more contagious.
(p.s. I hate my new phone- it voice types everything wrong).
@Northern Light I was not a fan of the Florida Governor's early reaction to the pandemic, but give credit where credit is due infected elderly patients were not allowed into care homes from hospitals (time may have been on their side) they probably so far have one of the lowest care home fatality rates in the USA and I'm sure it's for the reason you have described a potential powder keg. Let's hope they can keep it like that.
@Paul Nolan there's no such thing as Darwinism, dude. There's Social Darwinism and there is evolution in it's various forms. Feel free to expose your dangerous stupidity and or willful ignorance trying to explain.
I've said it before and I'll continue to say it; thank you, Dr. John, for all you continue to do for us.
Morning Dr John, As you’re answering the question regarding the flu vaccine could you please also tell us if the pneumonia vaccine could help if you happened to get coronavirus. I mean could it make the symptoms less bad? Thank you for all your doing for us
In our X-ray department we would write on the bag HBD for Has Been Drinking 😳😳😳
I'm rather surprised at your lack of diligence iin keeping the pub & brewery industries in the UK fully funded by your late morning arrival. If you require assistance, we'll be happy to help....
Love the way you teach about how infections keep spreading, so that anyone can think about remedies and effects for oneself.
Swithering between the U.K. and England without comparative figure for the other Nations is very confusing. Pubs aren’t opening in Scotland.
🏴
Or Wales (that bit stuck to England). For people abroad...LONDON is not ENGLAND & ENGLAND is NOT the UK.
Thank you John. Scaremongering NO WAY. You say it as you see it, I watch every day and I believe I have learnt so much by watching, and I share my opinions with my friends, who by the way think me to be so well informed. Again Thank you
Wouldn’t the mink have caught it from a human to start with..? Completely agree with the awfulness of the way animals are treated. It is today’s slavery of powerless living beings.
Ireland: as of today. Two deaths and 9 new cases. im fearful of bars opening up soon
House of Ren I think you’ll do fine tbh. Yes cases will go up but if only the less vulnerable get it in low case numbers and are caught quick and quarantined you’ll manage this.
“In England the pubs’ are going to open from 6am, Dr John, well I don’t start drinking until half past so I won’t be rushing down.” Totally priceless, but hits the point home don’t get plastered & end up in A&Z getting plastered 🥴 😂😂
My husband and I laughed like crazy. Then I thought hmmmm, maybe he meant 6:30 in the evening? I still like to think it was Dr. John's dry humor coming through again but, he didn't have the slightest twinkle in his eye this time.
Love the PFO!!
Susan Ellis , yip me to, oh it’s something fallen over 😂😂😂
The translation for ‘plastered’ was brilliant 😅
sarah L you think it was a translation?
I haven't had the flu vaccine in 20 years and had the flu only once during that time. I think keeping your immune system strong is a key factor in prevention and dealing with the flu. BTW I am 62 years old and live in NYC. As far as COVID-19 is concerned I believe keeping your immune system strong, wearing a mask and social distancing are three important elements in warding off the COVID-19.
In the United States, when they put the seat belt laws in effect there was a catchy phrase used." Click it or ticket". We now need one for masks...how about " Mask it or Casket". Simple chants for simple people.
Not a mask wearer myself, but kudos to you for coming up with a pretty nifty slogan. Best I've seen so far.
Marjorie Johnson or be wiser, use a viser
@@parlabaneisback maybe become a mask wearer
@@LORDdrPepper I will when it's necessary, my current circumstances don't require it.
AMERICA IS VERY ADVANCED. NO NEED FOR MASKS. ITS AN AFRONT TO OUR MASCULINITY.
WE WONT BE COWED BY A TINY VIRUS.. WE WILL STAMP IT TO DEATH.
I never get flu and never get a vaccination, because the one time I did get one, four years ago, it made me very ill and took me almost two years to feel really well again. I hope we will not be forced to get one this year.
stuart62ham}. You’re whacky.
Not necessarily. Having looked into this a bit the idea that vitamin s C D and zinc boost your immune system and make you less likely to suffer greatly from covid-19 seems highly plausible. Plus hydroxy clq used in severely affected patients has been shown to help I believe. Would be interesting to hear John's thoughts on this as he clearly supports vitamin D for boosting immune system.
Most of the EU and the NHS here have all stopped use of HCQ, it was trialled many times by each health service. I think the NHS had said was it was useless due to the late stage people would present themselves at hospital. This was of course the NHS plan to prevent the mass overload as seen in Italy and Spain.
Back at the start Germany, France and the U.K. ran four trials of 200 cases on HCQ and one patient in France had a tiny improvement. Once more cases were available they trialled extensively.
In Spain the news reported doctors and staff were attacked back in Mar-Apr because families found out they stopped using it. They’d also found it useless.
No harm in trying but plenty harm in forcing ineffective treatment when we’d found other medicines worked.
Formulaic 78}. We have heard his thoughts on this. HCQ is bunk, and you’re whacky too.
Steve Pirie}. Ahh - someone who isn’t whacky!
Good stuff John from N Ireland. I am a gp here , and delighted that you couldn't remember our Deputy First Minister's name as you are therefore apolitical. As with everything here, it has of course become political but it is , as you say , only a public health issue and that is all .
Here in the Bahamas you have to have a negative covid19 test no older then 7 days to fly into country.
We are doing Genomic sequencing in the UK, the Nike Conference outbreak earlier this year in Edinburgh was sequenced and the virus had come from Italy, and it was confirmed that the people infected did not contribute to community spread of the virus in the wider Scottish population, Dr Gregor Smith CMO for Scotland announced this a few weeks ago at the daily briefing.
Everything still screwed? Thought so... see you in 3 months...

Great observation 😉. Take care and see you in October 🤞☮️
You peop's make my day too 😁
Stop the world I want to get off.
Again, a very BIG thank you, as an administrator for the British and Worldwide Hearties, we now refer any questions from this high risks group to your broadcast.
Always succinct and to the point in layman's terms, making our help and advice on taking care of our members before and after surgery.
A & E is English for "Accident and Emergency" America has ER's or simply Emergency Rooms
Thanks I was wondering.
THANKS, DR CAMPBELL
Latest news - found in the sewage in Brazil 2019 Nov. Spain march 2019.... Let's keep digging for the truth!
They found it in January 2019 in Italy this is even way before in Brazil
@BFD MANZ 4 LYF 007 Any place people are eating bats will likely have the virus in their poo since bats normally carry the virus - not a problem if cooked well & a normal immunity system
@JohanMDK Google "sewer samples coronavirus" and "Sewer samples covid-19"
It turns out that many regularly take samples from their sewer systems and freeze them.
About a month ago some bright person thought to check these stored samples for evidence of covid-19.
Yea because TH-cam is home to the Truth! HAHAHAHAH
@BFD MANZ 4 LYF 007 sir Doctor John Campbell in one of his world updates
i don't know about farmed furs, but synthetic fur alternatives are usually made of plastic or patrolium biproduct so there's actually a climate change case to be made against them - at least wild hunted furs are significantly lower impact, and of course naturally decompose in a way synthetics do not. I don't know the numbers on farmed fur in terms of carbon footprint - i assume it varies by farm, but synthetics have their own issues.
Quarantine for US citizens coming into the UK is a really practical Idea.
Joan Hyde madness any country not testing or quarantining on entry or return.
A, no country should allow any entries and B, every person entering any country should be quarantined.
I can't believe how badly UK has handled this
Congratulations on reaching 700,000 subscribers . When I joined your channel you had 130,000 in January.... I think that says it all Dr C. You are the voice of reason and evidence based information that has served so many of us so well. 🙏🏼
Plastered over here means the same thing as it does over there just so you know
I need to get pissed, too pissed off
Yes, Americans certainly know the term "plastered"!! It means, inebriated, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Thank you for all your work. You talk sense and tell us how it is.xx
‘Plastered’ the P stands for plastered, thus: “he got plastered and fell over” 🙃 we have that in Canada too 🙀
I think you will find the P stands for something a little more rude, hence the wry smile. Same meaning though🤭
And I aways though PFO meant Please F Off. Guess I can stay now.
In the US it's PDFA(pi$$ drunk and fell on his @r$3)
Thanks for the update as ever John, I am looking forward to hearing about your thoughts on the NICE and SACN 'rapid' review. Nicola Sturgeon has mandated mask wearing in Scotland shops next week and I was impressed to see a large number wearing them in Kelso today.
Great news that infections are dropping in the UK.
Thank you for your videos - been watching since the very start. I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Fingers crossed we have this under control here - lots of testing going on!!
Don't understand why fur farming is condemned and meat and milk production is not.
Agreed .It's madness , fur is a natural product , much better than toxic plastics.
Andy Jarman. We need to eat. We don't need a fur coat.
@@paulg8730 My husband and I haven't eaten any animal products for 25 years and we are still alive and more healthy than anyone I know.
Thank you, Dr. Campbell...for keeping us so well informed daily. Don’t know what we’d do without your source of information. Best wishes from Dallas, Texas!!
