Tactical Investor Volatility Index Readings are Soaring

Stock Market Trends: Volatility Index readings have surged to new a high (as shown in the header image above), which means that extreme behaviour in all areas can be expected in and out of the markets. Additionally, we added new psychological data points to the V-Indicator and we suspect that this new high could correspond to a new development in the Coronavirus outbreak. Let’s hope it’s a positive one.

The ETF Trend Portfolio is our most conservative portfolio, so in the light of recent developments, one of which is that V-readings have soared to new highs, we are going to err on the side of caution.  This is a dangerous development as over the past 12 months we added a new psychological component to this indicator, and this new high corresponds to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Stock Market Volatility readings

We are not in the “panic” generating business, so there is no need to panic, but this development could mean (operative word being “could”) that China is not telling the full story. The dangerous development is in regards to extreme market volatility; the market could shed several thousand points and then recoup these losses just as fast. Most traders are not prepared for this type of action, so when the market’s pullback strongly or appear to be crashing, they will throw the baby out with the bathwater and in doing so make a colossal mistake.

China Could be downplaying the situation

In all likelihood, China is releasing selective pieces of data, but in general, the world is used to this. However, what could trigger a sharp reaction from the markets is if this data proves to be damaging. There have been previous scares before and in each case, the markets sold off, but the sell-off proved to be a buying opportunity. The last sell-off was due to the Ebola virus scare back in Oct of 2018.

In the long run, this is not a negative development as the long term trend is still bullish, so if it comes to pass, we will have an opportunity to get into stocks and ETF’s at a discount.   We have adjusted pending sell orders, stops and in some cases, cancelled pending orders on the following ETF’s.  Bottom line while prudence is warranted, Panic is not; hence focus on the trend and ignore the noise.

Volatility Index readings are high but we are not going to follow the herd

Hence the statement below refers to several dangerous trends but not the ones that come straight to one’s mind:

This is a dangerous development as over the past 12 months we added a new psychological component to this indicator, and this new high corresponds to the Coronavirus outbreak.  Interim Market Update Jan 31, 2020

We want to clarify what we mean by dangerous (in the above statement) as we don’t want anyone to falsely assume that we are embracing some of the wild conspiracy theories being put forward regarding this virus.  We analysed the data thoroughly, especially the psychological data. We also looked at data evaluated by other level headed experts; many thanks to our subscribers for providing links to some of these experts, which once again solidifies our claim that we are fortunate enough to some have some of the best minds out there as part of our community.  We have concluded that the Coronavirus issue is being blown out of proportion.

Weaponised news; A dangerous trend with no end in sight

The first trend is that news is going to be weaponised to the extreme to support whatever narrative a given group of individuals have decided to embrace or force on a subset of the crowd. Secondly, as V-readings have no surged to new highs, the market will experience more random bouts of extreme volatility and this should be embraced when the trend is positive.

Thirdly, violence (as in wars, crime, etc), wild weather patterns will be more prevalent going forward and extreme and we mean extremely stupid behaviour is going to be embraced.  Lastly, polarisation levels are going to rise to such an extreme that we could reach a point where a simple disagreement set off something akin to a mini civil war.

Back to the Coronavirus issue:

In Asia, masks are selling out like hotcakes and we suspect many stocks that are in the vaccine creation field have experienced huge price increases. In other words, a group of companies are making out like bandits, while the masses being fleeced again. The data out there states that this virus has a mortality rate of 3% and no new data has come out refuting it.

Therefore we find it quite interesting that many financial experts with no background in medicine or psychology have gone out of their way to state that the situation is on the verge of becoming a pandemic.  Too many experts believe in the deep state, while there is an apparatus that could be called the “deep state”, their understanding of this topic is limited at best.

The way these power brokers work is to indoctrinate people, so the players are willing participants or blind participants (blind as in being mentally blind and not physically blind) which boil down to the same thing. These individuals are used as cannon fodder; the objective is achieved by pandering to their wild fantasies. This objective is achieved by allow Gossip artists to masquerade as reporters. In the old days, they would be called fisherwoman.

As of now, we have found no objective data that backs the many claims non- experts are pushing regarding the Coronavirus and the only dangerous trends we see are the ones we have addressed above. Could the situation change? Yes, anything is possible, but history reveals that most naysayers are full of hot air as the world was supposed to  have officially ended a long time ago

We had pandemics before so this is nothing new

As I am typing, people are dying all over the world. In the time it took me to type this sentence, more than 15 people died.  Seventy-eight thousand people have died today, and the number will rise to 80,000 or more by the time you get this update. So far this year 9,500,000 people have died, and that number rises every second. One could state that death is a pandemic, but no one is screaming about that issue. Smoking-related and or Cancer-related deaths could be also classified as a pandemic as more than 16.6 million will die this year from both, and yet no one makes a big deal (9.6 million from cancer and seven million-plus from smoking).

To date, roughly 2860 people have died from the coronavirus, and suddenly it’s the new Black Death. To be clear, we are not making light of the situation, but so much attention is being given to this one agent when compared to other agents of death.  Here is an interesting fact; there are twice as many new births as deaths on a global basis. Live data on world deaths, birth rates, coronavirus deaths, etc. can be obtained from here http://bit.ly/32wVaQA

High Volatility Index Readings: Use This To Your Advantage

There have been more than a dozen outbreaks since 1980 and with far deadlier outcomes in some instances, but if you look at the chart above, after a knee jerk reaction, the markets trended higher. Hence, the Tactical Investor saying;  “every disaster leads to a hidden opportunity” and the only way to spot that opportunity is not to give in to panic.  We envision a similar outcome for the coronavirus, the markets could still sell-off but that sell-off should be viewed through a bullish lens.

The mass mindset is hard wired to panic. One can overcome this shortfall by observing this behavior impartially and then ask this simple question “why am I doing something that has never led to a positive outcome”.  Secondly, as we have advocated for years, one should maintain a trading journal and the best time to put pen to paper or fingers to a keyboard is when the markets are tanking. Make a note of the emotions that are swirling through your mind. Jot down some of the headlines the media is pushing out and observe the reactions from your fellowman. This information will prove to be priceless in the weeks, months, years and decades to come.

The markets are trading in the extremely overbought ranges on the weekly charts, and in theory, they should let out some steam, but the monthly charts, for now, are exerting more upward pressure than they normally do. It should be noted that the weekly charts also move relatively slowly, so there is still time for the markets to let out some steam.

What Will The Stock Market Return In 2020?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — when investment gurus unveil their predictions for what the stock market will return in the coming year.

We expect investment experts to have crystal balls that allow them to see how the stock market is going to perform in the future. Of course, they don’t have crystal balls, and their predictions often aren’t helpful.

The problem with expert predictions of the stock market isn’t that they are wrong — which they often are — the future is uncertain, and we shouldn’t expect anyone to predict it. The problem is that investors often listen to these predictions and base investment decisions on them.

There are better ways to cope with the uncertainty of the 2020 market than listening to predictions. Before we get to those, let’s review what we can predict and what we cannot.

What We Can Predict
While the stock market follows a cycle but defies prediction, history can provide insight into what we might expect from the markets in any given year.

The histogram below displays the dispersion of returns on the S&P 500 since 1928:
As you can see, in about two-thirds of the years, the market is up and about one-third of the time it is down. The distribution is roughly a bell curve with a positive skew and a fat left tail (meaning large negative returns happen more often than a bell curve would predict). Full Story

The Top 15 Stocks to Buy in 2020

Heading into a new year, all investors want to know is what stocks they should be buying.

At the beginning of this year, I attempted to answer that question by compiling a portfolio of the top 15 stocks to buy for 2020. In mid-February, that portfolio of stocks was up a whopping 22% year-to-date.

Then, the novel coronavirus outbreak went global. Russia and Saudi Arabia started an all-out oil price war. Financial markets across the globe fell off a cliff. So did my portfolio of top stocks to buy for 2020.

But, I think now may be as good a time as any to double down on these top stocks. Coronavirus headwinds are fleeting. They will pass. Once they do, these long-term growth stocks will get back to winning.

In no particular order, the top 15 stocks to buy for 2020 in March are:

  • Facebook (NASDAQ:FB)
  • Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI)
  • Luckin Coffee (NYSE:LK)
  • Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND)
  • Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)
  • Pinterest (NYSE:PINS)
  • Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC)
  • Square (NYSE:SQ)
  • The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD)
  • Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY)
  • Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA)
  • JD.Com (NASDAQ:JD)
  • Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX)
  • Nio (NYSE:NIO)
  • Snap (NYSE:SNAP)

Without further ado, then, let’s take a look where these top stocks to buy for 2020 are going next. Full Story

 

20 Predictions for the Stock Market in 2020

t’s a brand-new year, and boy, does 2020 have some big shoes to fill. Last year, we witnessed the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) gallop higher by nearly 29%, which is quadruple the historic average annual return of the stock market, inclusive of dividend reinvestment and when adjusted for inflation.

The big question, of course, is what might the current year hold for the broader market and investors? The following 20 predictions for the stock market in 2020 may offer some insight.
1. There will be no recession in 2020
Probably the biggest question on investors’ minds is whether a recession is brewing. While that does look to be the case following a very brief inversion of the two-year and 10-year Treasury bonds in late August, data from Credit Suisse, dating back to 1978, shows that the average recession doesn’t pop up until 22 months after the inversion occurs. Similarly, stock market returns don’t turn negative until an average of 18 months after an inversion, putting the market on track to lose its steam during the first quarter of 2021 (assuming these averages hold true).

For the time being, the longest economic expansion in U.S. history looks poised to continue.
2. The stock market will have another positive year
Despite the stock market delivering returns that were well above the historic norms in 2019, this year should deliver more gains to investors. Full Story

Benefits of eggs: Health Facts

Benefits of eggs

If there was such a thing as a perfect food, eggs would be a contender. They’re readily available, easy to cook, affordable and packed with protein.

“The egg is meant to be something that has all the right ingredients to grow an organism, so obviously it’s very nutrient dense,” says Christopher Blesso, associate professor of nutritional science at the University of Connecticut in the US.

Eating eggs alongside other food can help our bodies absorb more vitamins, too. For example, one study found that adding an egg to salad can increase how much vitamin E we get from the salad.

But for decades, eating eggs has also been controversial due to their high cholesterol content – which some studies have linked to an increased risk of heart disease. One egg yolk contains around 185 milligrams of cholesterol, which is more than half of the 300mg daily amount of cholesterol that the US dietary guidelines recommended until recently.

Does that mean eggs, rather than an ideal food, might actually be doing us harm?
Cholesterol, a yellowish fat produced in our liver and intestines, can be found in every one of our body’s cells. We normally think of it as “bad”. But cholesterol is a crucial building block in our cell membranes. It also is needed for the body to make vitamin D, and the hormones testosterone and estrogen. Full Story

 

Israel election: Netanyahu in tough fight in this year’s second vote

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the snap election after failing to form a governing coalition with a viable majority after April’s vote.

The final opinion polls put his right-wing Likud party neck and neck with its main challenger, the centrist Blue and White party led by former military chief Benny Gantz.

Smaller parties could therefore have a big say in the final outcome. Full Story

 

Hong Kong: Looking back at 100 days of protests

Hong Kong has been gripped by huge and at times violent protests since an extradition bill was proposed which would have made it possible for people in Hong Kong to be extradited to mainland China.

The unrest has seen millions of people pressure the government to withdraw the bill and call for full democracy. Full Story

Tap water quality investigation: Lead in some Canadian water

Tap water quality investigation

Tap water quality investigation: MONTREAL (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have been unwittingly exposed to high levels of lead in their drinking water, with contamination in several cities consistently higher than they ever were in Flint, Michigan, according to an investigation that tested drinking water in hundreds of homes and reviewed thousands more previously undisclosed results.

Residents in some homes in Montreal, a cosmopolitan city an hour north of the U.S.-Canada border, and Regina, in the flat western prairies, are among those drinking and cooking with tap water with lead levels that exceed Canada’s federal guidelines. The investigation found some schools and daycares had lead levels so high that researchers noted it could impact children’s health. Exacerbating the problem, many water providers aren’t testing at all.

It wasn’t the Canadian government that exposed the scope of this public health concern.

A yearlong investigation by more than 120 journalists from nine universities and 10 media organizations, including The Associated Press and the Institute for Investigative Journalism at Concordia University in Montreal, collected test results that properly measure exposure to lead in 11 cities across Canada. Out of 12,000 tests since 2014, one-third — 33% — exceeded the national safety guideline of 5 parts per billion; 18% exceeded the U.S. limit of 15 ppb.

In a country that touts its clean, natural turquoise lakes, sparkling springs and rushing rivers, there are no national mandates to test drinking water for lead. And even if agencies do take a sample, residents are rarely informed of contamination. Full Story

 

Trump may face fight over planned move from NYC to Florida

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump a Florida man? Not so fast.

Despite a stinging “good riddance” tweet from New York’s governor, the president’s home state may not let him go to Florida without a fight.

Trump’s plan to shift his permanent residence to Palm Beach will likely be heavily scrutinized by New York state officials, who are notorious for auditing wealthy residents seeking to flee to lower-tax states to make sure such moves are real and not just on paper.  Full Story

 

Prosecutor reviewing Russia probe known for tenacity, ethics

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The man leading the inquiry into the origins of the Russia probe is no stranger to politically sensitive investigations.

How to improve immune system?

 

How to improve immune system?

During instruction on three distinct discrimination issues from the visual water activity, all humans could achieve a standard of 8/10 appropriate trials, however, 2VO creatures took more to learn every issue and demonstrated diminished performance in a difficult memory investigation. Here is the first study to show that MB attenuates memory and learning deficits brought on by carotid occlusion and other ways how to improve immune system.

The results imply that MB could possibly be good for conditions including chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, such as mild cognitive impairment, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. https://bit.ly/2QCLDD4 Additionally, once the initial signs of influenza begin to attest, I place undiluted 3 percent solution in the ears for 5-15 minutes.

How to improve immune system: My Way

I wait patiently until the bubbling ceases before going into another ear. I’ve either ceased influenza dead in its tracks or enhanced the healing period by 50%. The Way to enhance your immune system: from the box plans The concentration of H2O2 necessary to kill half of the germs present in 15 s was 1.8 M (6%) but dropped to 0.3 M (1%) at 2 minutes, to 10 mM (0.03percent ) in 1 h, and also to 0.2 mM (0.0007%) using a 24-h vulnerability. The results imply that if elevated levels of H2O2 could be sustained for extended intervals, H2O2 is an effective bactericidal agent, as well as the existence of LP and SCN- shields streptococci against killing by H2O2. https://bit.ly/33y8B3t Olive leaf extract: Organic antiviral agent MB is also capable to excite sugar metabolism in states with no oxygen and increase the quantity of NAD+ generated by mitochondria [5, 4 ].

This is likely going to be the most contentious of all materials listed here. Please be aware that I’m not telling you exactly what to do nor I’m advocating that you follow in my footsteps. What brought me to the substance has been its nootropic role, its antibacterial and antiviral action. My liver enzymes were slightly high four decades back, so I decided to try this specific product: four weeks after my ALT, that was (marginally elevated) not just normalised but was at the ideal selection.

My AST, that was within the standard selection, also moved into the perfect selection. I’ve been carrying MB off and on for more than four years without any negative outcomes. More especially, MB can contribute electrons into coenzyme Q and maybe to cytochrome C, thereby raising cytochrome oxidase (complex IV) activity and oxygen intake. In case you need to practice social bookmarking, you could always pick up the telephone or use skype or even WhatsApp to speak with a loved one or friend. Do not sit and anxiety; speaking about a problem helps alleviate anxiety. B complex: includes many positive aspects, among which will be to help one deal with anxiety. Before we proceed, I would like to make it apparent; we aren’t advocating or saying that you ought to take one or more of these supplements given below.

We’re supplying data that you analyse as we constantly do; our stance will likely forever stay the same. We do not tell folks what to dowe supply information, then you determine how you’re going to utilize that info. Should you disagree with a few or all the info listed under, that is the best, and we aren’t going to argue with you. Listen to music The researchers confirmed the oxidising agent H2O2 efficiently inactivates both the DNA and RNA viruses. Then they demonstrated the peroxide inactivation did not impact greatly on immunogenicity. https://bit.ly/2Qzv36Z https://ebay.to/3dlGmJw https://amzn.to/3aat6 H2O2 at a three percent concentration inactivated each of the viruses under study contained in 1–30 min. Coronavirus and flu viruses have been found to be sensitive. H2O2 is a convenient way for virus inactivation. https://bit.ly/2WyAU00

How to get a healthy immune system:

    • Honey Mumio or also Called mumijo Generally, I eat abnormally considerable quantities of sugar through honey, chocolates and fruits which include three or fewer components. It ought to consume sugar, cocoa, cocoa derivatives to the many are fine, milk, and fruits or nuts ). But I eat no bread or some other wheat-based products. I ceased all wheat intake in 2013, and ever since that time, I doubled my average all-natural sugar intake. In this time, I seen the Dentist merely double; on both events since they kept pestering me to come in to get a checkup. Another advantage of not swallowing any wheat is I obviously lost all extra weight and that I weigh exactly the same as I did in 19.
    • The healing property of honey is a result of the simple fact that it offers antibacterial action, maintains a moist wound illness, and its own high viscosity can help to offer a protective barrier to stop the disease. Its immunomodulatory home is pertinent to wound repair also. The antimicrobial activity in many kinds of honey is a result of the enzymatic generation of hydrogen peroxide. However, another sort of honey, known as non-peroxide honey (viz., manuka honey), shows significant antibacterial effects when the hydrogen peroxide action is blocked. Its mechanism might be associated with the low pH amount of honey along with its high sugar content (high osmolarity) which is sufficient to inhibit the development of microbes. The medical-grade honey has powerful in vitro bactericidal action against antibiotic-resistant germs causing many life-threatening infections to people. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University working together with colleagues in the spin-out company Najit Technologies printed in vivo data demonstrating the usefulness of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-based method of creating inactivated viral pathogens. Studies in mice revealed that H2O2-inactivated viral vaccines from lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), smallpox, as well as West Nile virus, triggered elevated titres of both virus-specific CD8+ T cells or neutralising antibodies and supplied long-term defence against subsequent challenge with lethal doses of their various pathogen.
    • Additionally, the fraction full of glycerol ethers/wax esters shown a substantial growth-promoting action in permanent neuronal PC12 cells. It’s concluded that this new Mumijo prep has different and marked neuroprotective action, quite likely as a result of material of glycerol ether derivatives. https://bit.ly/2QADuif I’m only talking the things below because I had been requested by numerous readers what I’m doing in regard to the coronavirus. For the ones that are prepared to experiment the info listed below may prove to be of interest. I am not advocating you do so, but I have used these materials for many years and continue to utilize them. I am prepared to push the envelope provided there’s information to back up a publication treatment. Mumijo training are successfully employed for the prevention and therapy for infectious diseases; they also exhibit immune-stimulating and antiallergic action too. In the current study, we explore the chemical makeup and the gastrointestinal capacity of some Mumijo(-related) product accumulated from Antarctica. Extensive purification and chemical analysis demonstrated the fossil samples are a combination of glycerol derivatives. A very simple test to determine whether honey is from a fantastic source. https://bit.ly/3a9hAdR Methylene blue (MB) spans the adrenal barrier and in low doses functions as an electron cycler from the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. Past studies implicate MB in the two memory augmentation and neuroprotection. 2VO rats showed greater performance in the visual water activity without showing differences generally motor action, visually guided swimming skill or odour recognition. Daily MB attenuated the shortages in visual memory and learning which led from cerebrovascular insufficiency.
    • A little bit of Vitamin C may also be helpful. Honey is among the most valued and appreciated organic products introduced to humanity since early times. Honey is utilized not just as a nutrient product but also in wellness described in conventional medicine and as an alternate remedy for clinical conditions which range from wound healing to cancer therapy. The intention of this review will be to emphasise the capability of honey along with its abundance in medicinal elements. The components of honey are reported to exert antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and antimetastatic effects. According to contemporary scientific research, honey could be helpful and contains protective effects for treating various disease conditions like diabetes mellitus, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, also it’s helpful in cancer therapy since many kinds of antioxidant are found in honey. In summary, honey can be regarded as a natural curative agent for various medicinal purposes. Sufficient evidence is advocating using honey in the management of illness conditions. Based on these facts, using honey in clinical wards is highly suggested. https://bit.ly/2xXZgGq Supplements that are useful and we are accepting Virtually all of the products listed above could readily be acquired by running a simple google search. But, I’ll list three resources for mumio. I typically visit a Russian drugstore to buy this, or if one of my visits Russia or Ukraine they attract a few backs. At low dosages, methylene blue (MB) was demonstrated to protect the mind from disease by acting as an electron donor to complicated I-IV of their mitochondria which raises adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation. ATP is the money of life and also the energy which drives people. If our creation of ATP declines, our bodily and psychological performance declines. Even healthy people may benefit from an increase in ATP production [1].

MB may also trap dripping electrons made by mitochondrial inhibitors and also maintain the metabolic rate by bypassing blocked factors of blood circulation, so improving mitochondrial respiration [1]. https://bit.ly/2UwfaQ2

Other thoughts on ways how to improve immune system

Feeding your body certain foods may help keep your immune system strong

If you’re looking for ways to prevent colds, the flu, and other infections, your first step should be a visit to your local grocery store. Plan your meals to include these 15 powerful immune system boosters.

An important note
No supplement will cure or prevent disease.

With the 2019 coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it’s especially important to understand that no supplement, diet, or other lifestyle modification other than physical distancing, also known as social distancing, and proper hygiene practices can protect you from COVID-19.

Currently, no research supports the use of any supplement to protect against COVID-19 specifically.

1. Citrus fruits
Most people turn straight to vitamin C after they’ve caught a cold. That’s because it helps build up your immune system.

Vitamin C is thought to increase the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections.

Almost all citrus fruits are high in vitamin C. With such a variety to choose from, it’s easy to add a squeeze of this vitamin to any meal.

Popular citrus fruits include:

grapefruit
oranges
clementines
tangerines
lemons
limes
Because your body doesn’t produce or store it, you need daily vitamin C for continued health. The recommended daily amount for most adults is:

Also keep in mind that while vitamin C might help you recover from a cold quicker, there’s no evidence yet that it’s effective against the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Read more

Can You Really Boost Your Immune System?

The idea of boosting your immune system is appealing, but is it even possible to build up your immune system so that you rarely get sick?

Dr. Suzanne Cassel, an immunologist at Cedars-Sinai, says that the concept of boosting your immune system is inaccurate. There’s also widely held confusion about how your immune system functions and how your body is designed to combat diseases and infections.
How your immune system works
Your immune system works to recognize and identify an infection or injury in the body. This causes an immune response, with the goal of restoring normal function.

Dr. Cassel says many people think that when they get sick, their symptoms are a sign that they have a virus or an infection.

However, your symptoms are actually a sign that your body is fighting back against the infection or virus, triggering an immune response.

“When you have a cold, you feel run down, your nose is runny, you feel congested—these are the symptoms people complain about,” Dr. Cassel says. “People think ‘I’m so sick, this is terrible. Why doesn’t my immune system work?’ But with every one of these cold symptoms, that is your immune system at work.”

Can you strengthen your immune system?
Dr. Cassel says another common misconception is having a “strong” immune system is what’s best for your body. Read more

 

13 Tips to Strengthen Your Immune System

Kick Back and Relax
Some stress can be a good thing. It helps your body get ready for a challenge. But if it lasts too long, that’s bad news. Studies show it can weaken your body’s defense system. Avoid it when you can. Make it a point to unwind and

Get Your Groove On
It doesn’t just make you feel good — it’s good for you, too. One study found a link between a healthy immune system and how often you get busy. Those who made love more often had higher levels of a cold-fighting substance in their bodies.

Find a Furry Friend
There’s a reason we call them “man’s best friend.” Dogs and other pets aren’t just good buddies. They also give us a reason to exercise and boost our health in other ways. Pet owners have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and healthier hearts. Dogs can help your child’s immune response and make him less likely to get allergies.

Build Your Social Network
We all know friends are important, but strong social ties can also have a big effect on your health. People with healthy relationships are likely to outlive those with poor social ties. Want to broaden your circle? Volunteer, take a class or join a group that interests you. And nurture the bonds you already have. Read more

COVID mortality rate: the truth is out there

COVID mortality rate

Let us take the huge headlines that the media is attempting to push that coronavirus instances have jeopardized in NY. Off course they’ve spiked what exactly do you anticipate should you examine more individuals. That’s a false story, the media should concentrate on the facts. Though the Coronavirus mortality rate is trending upward, it comes nowhere near matching the damage brought on by smoking, cancer and a plethora of other diseases that kill more people than COVID. Among other matters, they discovered that the pupils’ resistance went every year under the easy strain of this exam period.

COVID mortality rate table

The way the deaths are listed in Italy leaves a great deal to be desired. Anyone going into the hospital using a coronavirus identification is deemed to have expired as a consequence of the coronavirus. Preexisting conditions aren’t taken under account. Bear in Mind an already weakened immune system today must cope with two or three problems and so to suppose the departure was due to this coronavirus is again nothing short of voodoo science.

COVID mortality rate across all age groups

Based on Dr Maria Van Kerkhove of the World Health Organization, speaking in a digital press conference on Friday, the movement to use”physical distancing” stems from a desire to emphasize”maintaining the physical space from individuals so that we could stop the virus from moving to another” Continuing stress makes us vulnerable to disease and illness since the mind sends chemical signs to the endocrine system, which releases a range of hormones which not only makes us prepared for crisis situations but seriously depresses our immunity in precisely the exact same moment. Some specialists assert that anxiety is responsible for up to 90 percent of ailments and ailments, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

COVID mortality rate age data

How it does this is by simply activating chemical reactions and flood your system with cortisol which, among other items, reduces inflammation, reduces white blood cells and NK cells (particular cells which kill cancer), raises tumour growth and growth and increases the speed of disease and tissue damage. https://bit.ly/2U9yNOw These findings opened the floodgates of study. Their meta-analysis discerned fascinating patterns. Laboratory studies that stressed individuals for a couple of minutes discovered a burst of a single kind of”first responder” action mixed with different indications of weakening.

For anxiety of any substantial length — from a few days to a couple of months or years, as occurs in real life — all facets of resistance went downhill. “So basically the age distribution of our patients is wired into older age and this is significant in raising the lethality.” A study in JAMA this week discovered that nearly 40 percent of ailments and 87 percent of deaths from the country happen to be in patients over 70 years past. And based on modelling, most the age group are very likely to want critical hospital maintenance — for example 80 percent of 80-somethings — placing immense pressure on the medical system. https://bit.ly/3aacIoG

The disinformation campaign is indeed rampant; I believed this something that I had to research straight to provide Tactical Investors a much better look at what’s really going. So, I chose to take the danger and fly to Asia without declaring it. I wished to see for myself when the US and the West, generally, was overreacting and when Asia had been doing a better job about the emotional frontier.

Thus far, I’ve seen Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, and Indonesia and that I can honestly say they are doing a far better job of controlling the anxiety factor then we’re performing in the united states. Folks aren’t draining shelves left, right and centre that the only thing that appears to be selling like hotcakes are face masks. The comparison in how the Asians are coping with this scenario from a mental standpoint of opinion is humungous. The researchers noticed that insufficient social support was reported from the study for a risk factor for depression, and insight amplified in a 2005 analysis of school students.

The entire health impact of anxiety, however, might not be completely revealed until the effects of ageing are more broadly appreciated. https://bit.ly/2QyZqdw And viola which looks like the case, so rather than attempting to calm the people, the authorities in the West do their very best to pressure out the elderly people which are facing other trying difficulties. By way of instance, pensions which don’t pay the price of living or insufficient medical assistance, etc..

High-stress levels can also lead to anxiety and depression, again resulting in high degrees of inflammation. From the long term, sustained, elevated levels of inflammation stage to an underactive, over-tired immune system which can not properly protect you. https://cle.clinic/3bct0xx If the leaders of the West but specifically, the US could behave in precisely the exact same way to instil calm in the people, the response could be different. Stress increases strain and anxiety, interrupts the immune system.

The extensive data recorded below clearly suggests that anxiety can be fatal, particularly to the older who in many cases have some type of preexisting disorder and extra pressure puts an excess burden on the already weakened immune system.

What stands out is the Coronavirus mortality rate across all age classes drops to 0.9percent once the people don’t have any preexisting ailments. Again, this is something which needs to be broadcasted rather than being buried. So, age is not a variable, era and preexisting conditions are the principal elements. And viola which looks like the case, so rather than attempting to calm the people, the authorities in the

West do their very best to pressure out the elderly people which are facing other trying difficulties. By way of instance, pensions which don’t pay the price of living or insufficient medical assistance, etc..

Though the amount of sufferers has jeopardized the Coronavirus mortality rate across all types has barely changed. If stress suppresses the immune systems of healthy people, then the consequences on those who often dread more and most of which have some inherent condition (particularly if they’re on a modern-day diet) should be more conspicuous. And maybe deadly in case they must take care of a virus or bacteria that’s more powerful than normal. As an instance, Jakarta is going to announce a state of crisis, and people aren’t running around in fear.

Malaysia is shutting down its own boundaries, and also the most important response was that Malaysians working in Singapore hurried back home to pack extra supplies and then led back to Singapore, where they’ll stay for a protracted period. If the boundary is closed, then they won’t have the ability to return, so they desired to ensure they had sufficient clothes etc. because of their long stay in Singapore. During severe stress lasting a couple of minutes, particular types of cells are mobilised to the blood, possibly preparing your system for trauma or disease during”flight or fight” [1]. Persistent stress lasting from days to many years, such as intense anxiety, is associated with high degrees of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but with possibly different health effects [3].

Another result of chronic pressure is that the activation of latent viruses. Latent virus detection may signify the reduction of immunological control within the virus, and regular activation may cause wear-and-tear on the immune system [5]. https://bit.ly/2U8Kjdi After deaths in the virus reached over 2,500, using a 150 percent rise in the previous week, health authorities have been combing through statistics to provide clues to help fight the spread of this disease. https://bloom.bg/2J6TG6I Ageing is associated with a natural drop in immune function. Immunosenescence is found in several aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. By way of instance, older folks have a weaker natural killer cell (NK) reaction to stimulatory cytokines than younger people [1]. Ageing is also related to diminished activation and proliferation of both T- and B-lymphocytes [2]. Additional the B-lymphocytes of older individuals produce less antibody than those of younger people [3].

Additionally, higher production of specific inflammatory mediators is discovered during aging [4]. These immunological changes render elderly people more vulnerable to a plethora of age-related ailments. But, immunosenescence seems to put older people at higher risk when coupled with collecting chronic disorders, repeated infections, or other outside variables [5]. Chronic stress could be among those variables leaving older people more vulnerable to age-related diseases [6,7]. https://bit.ly/33y4pRg Additionally, stress reduces the body’s lymphocytes — the white blood cells which help fight infection. The lower your lymphocyte degree, the more at risk you are for germs, including the frequent cold and cold sores.

Once more, one catches a glimpse of the way the media goes out of its way to frighten the people into believing the world is all about to finish. 99 percent of those that expired already had a present condition and most of the deaths are happening in a few of the most polluted regions of Italy. If you factor the ones that don’t have any prerequisite disorders/conditions, the death rate drops to 0.8 percent. Why is the media not highlighting this matter, why would they insist on panicking the older, the most exposed people in the populace?

Are they trying to hide something or will be the Doctor’s only too overworked to do the excess work? “Physicians in Italy have not been dealing with a couple of patients in care… but around 1,200,” says Dr Mike Ryan, wellness crises programme executive director in the World Health Organization. “The fact they are saving a lot of is a little miracle in itself.” https://bit.ly/3aacIoG “On re-evaluation from the National Institute of Health, just 12 percent of death certificates have proven a direct causality by a coronavirus, while 88 percent of individuals that have died have a minimum of one pre-morbidity — several had two or even three,” he states.

However there are different elements which might have led to Italy’s fatality prices, experts state. This includes a higher rate of pollution and smoking — the vast majority of deaths have been from the northern area Lombardy area, which is notorious for poor air quality. Among other matters, they discovered that the pupils’ resistance went every year under the easy strain of this exam period.

The information above clearly highlights why Italy has this abnormally large death rate and also this article (obviously ) affirms what all studies have confirmed those with already compromised immune systems are the most in danger. The meta-analysis also demonstrated that individuals who are elderly or sick are more inclined to stress-related resistant alterations. People who have chronic mild depression had poorer lymphocyte-T cellular responses to two mitogens, which version the way the body reacts to viruses and germs.

The immune reaction was down 18 months later, and resistance diminished with age. In accord with this 2004 meta-analysis, it seemed that the primary immune variable was the length, not seriousness, of melancholy. And in the instance of the elderly professionals, their melancholy and era intended a double-whammy for immunity. To top it, all specialists have produced this expression social distancing that’s perplexing many, and thus they’ve opted to develop another expression called Physical Action. Hysteria has gripped everybody, particularly in America and its feeding itself and if you put in stupidity and ineptitude from the elected officials, what ought to happen to be a moderate situation become a nightmare kind situation.

We’re supposedly the most advanced country in the world, but following the present debacle, an individual will be hard-pressed to phone the US innovative at least when it concerns the health sector. Had the US taken the exact same position as South Korea, the economies could have fared better and people would’ve panicked less since they’d have believed the problem was under control? The delay in testing is exactly what turned into a nervous audience to some hysterical mob.

With dismay, we see that the USA respond in unbecoming manners, rather than adding stability to the scenario the assortment of different commands and orders from several governors, bureaus, etc.. fostered even more dread in lieu of a feeling of hope. The economies are pulling back because of inherent economic conditions, but since folks feel as nobody knows what they’re doing.

Why devise all these phrases? Why don’t you simply say, hey you know to get just a little time that it will be better for those who do not get too near your relatives since they will be the most exposed and this really is but a temporary step?

This new expression adds more stress to an already worried out-group (the older ). The most vulnerable become more vulnerable because their immune systems are slowed as anxiety was demonstrated to decrease immunity. More than 99 percent of Italy’s coronavirus deaths were individuals who endured from past health problems, according to research by the nation’s federal health authority. Ageing is associated with a natural drop in immune function. Immunosenescence is found in several aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. By way of instance, older folks have a weaker natural killer cell (NK) reaction to stimulatory cytokines than younger people [1]. Ageing is also related to diminished activation and proliferation of both T- and B-lymphocytes [2].

Additional the B-lymphocytes of older individuals produce less antibody than those of younger people [3].

But, immunosenescence seems to put older people at higher risk when coupled with collecting chronic disorders, repeated infections, or other outside variables [5].

Chronic stress could be among those variables leaving older people more vulnerable to age-related diseases [6,7]. https://bit.ly/33y4pRg These findings opened the floodgates of study. Their meta-analysis discerned fascinating patterns. Laboratory studies that stressed individuals for a couple of minutes discovered a burst of a single kind of”first responder” action mixed with different indications of weakening. For anxiety of any substantial length — from a few days to a couple of months or years, as occurs in real life — all facets of resistance went downhill.

For you to figure out the death rate, it ends up to 1.28 percent, but rather than focusing on that, they will attempt to twist the spike into coronavirus is something of a jolt. More testing is helpful since it is going to lower the death rate as a bigger group of individuals will be analyzed rather than only those demonstrating the symptoms. On the other hand, the media concentrates on the negative facet or attempts to earn a manageable position seem to be completely out of control and nowhere else is that more obvious than in Italy. We’ll cover Italy soon.

The meta-analysis also demonstrated that individuals who are elderly or sick are more inclined to stress-related resistant alterations.
