Dr. Campbell - you have the gratitude of thousands. Your honesty and knowledge is invaluable to us. So many will be better prepared because of your desire to educate the general public.
In the US. It amazes how many of my friends and coworkers either have no clue about this virus or simply not taking it seriously. Education is key to surviving this!
I still have co-workers accusing those of us that are concerned that we are racist against the Chinese and this is no big deal. That the flu is much worse... But I work in California and it may be the death of me.
I work at a large Chinese grocery in St Louis. Owners and management all Chinese. They think nothing of this virus, as if there is some invisible protective bubble over St Louis. Just business as usual.
In spite of all the scare tactics, nothing much is going on in the US. Meanwhile, I have seen comments to the effect that the people who are getting really sick or dying in China have other conditions that make them more vulnerable. Duh. The Chinese in big cities have been breathing "air" as thick as fog for decades, and they are now paying the price for that.
"Don't take my word"... Sorry, Dr. John, I can't think of any other person's word I would rather take... Throughout this whole sorry saga...you've enlightened the darkest corners... Rational...measured...infinitely well informed... I suspect many others feel the same way...
I feel the same way and couldnt have said it better. Unfortunately i feel in the upcoming weeks or months, its very possible that all of the internet and social media overseers will come down on the likes of dr john campbell and peak prosperity and this "alternative" journalism will be haulted. If im not mistaken they are already demonetized.
@Joanna d'Arc If you have missed it, Dr Campbell has been reporting those stats you posted every single day. There is much more to this than just those numbers. Not to be insulting to you, but the very likelihood of those numbers being purposely or deliberately misrepresented is HIGH.
Thank you, Dr John Campbell, for covering this outbreak better than anybody else. You're giving us practical advice and explaining everything in an understandable way, more so than any mainstream news outlet. God bless, please keep up the good work. I'm sure your videos will help us be best prepared for the probable pandemic.
We aren't "well prepared" here in the US either. I work in health care and we haven't had a single team meeting about what to do if coronavirus cases start to rise.
Seeing the same thing here in USA. There are a few issues with nosocomial spread that people may not realize. First patients who are not initially infected but have comorbidity become critical from this. Second healthcare workers are people that make mistakes and break with isolation procedures and get infected so not only do they need care but they can no longer care for the ill.
Frank Zappa NJ has one of the 11 military Quarantine centers as well They list it as Newark because that is where the airport is but it is actually at Fort Dix Maguire Air force base 90 minutes south.
As a fellow doctor, I completely agree with your sentiments about "doing everything we can". I honestly feel that testing and managing at risk groups hasn't been up to scratch. Not sure we can trust everyone has followed the guidance regarding self quarantine.
Dear Doctor, the real problem is the asymptomatic patients who can spread the virus to others without them knowing they even have the virus!? How do you solve that?
Especially that the incubation period is 14 days, or even up to 3 weeks in some reports. As a doctor myself, how do I know if one of my patients that I see in my clinic is not carrying the virus or not, irrespective of their travel history
How do homeless people self quarantine? I live in a car and I have to go in a store every time I go to the bathroom or need something to eat and shower at the gym everyday. There are around half a million homeless people in the US and we're more likely to be exposed and can't self-quarantine. Not having affordable housing is going to bite society in the butt if this thing does spread.
I'm sure you would, so would I. However, most people don't, and it is well understood panic is usually worse than the thing - makes it even worse for the uninformed. Get yourself, your family and friends ready, and pray.
Everyone will get this. Whether u make it thru it is down to a lot of variables that aren't completely understood at the moment unfortunately. And it's possible to get it time after time. Every time being worse than before and leaving your body more susceptible to this and other illness. This will burn thru high risk populations just like it has done in China. Our heath systems can't deal with 20% of the population needing help in some way. They haven't done anything because they KNOW there is no stopping this. And it will make its rounds til it can't anymore. Sigh...
As it keeps getting worse, the surreal silence & incompetence of our leaders is astounding. They really are going to let millions die & then we know they will claim they couldn't stop it.
Probably bieng done deliberately they only have 10 years to create all the changes to society called for in their agenda 2030 scheme. Nothing brings change like massive global scale disaster and death. They will use the virus as a reason to impose massive travel restrictions and other draconian measures but these will only come AFTER the virus.
In spite of all the scare tactics, nothing much is going on in the US. Meanwhile, I have seen comments to the effect that the people who are getting really sick or dying in China have other conditions that make them more vulnerable. Duh. The Chinese in big cities have been breathing "air" as thick as fog for decades, and they are now paying the price for that.
@@tangobayus Stop comparing a newly discovered virus to the flu. Since when has the flu caused entire cities to be quarantined and martial law to be in action? Never. It's just not here YET.
SCOTT ontheboat True. If the global economy shuts down (that I personally think is a possibility if this gets bad), food stops moving, power plant employees stop going to work, people aren’t paid and can’t pay their bills (including their real estate property taxes), etc.
Cow Dog I think you are incredibly naive if you do not understand just how vital it is to avoid a global economic collapse. That could be a far greater world tragedy than this virus.
The number one priority of ANY government or governmental organizaton is money and power. The health and welfare of its citizens is important only for their ability to produce and be taxed.
Drea D That is the position we’re in thanks to the all knowing elites that won’t suffer at all no matter what happens and really don’t care about anything except money. global economic dependence (on China in this case) is the real problem we face. If we don’t learn anything at all and continue on this path of globalization, it WILL be a Lot worse the next time and more people are going to pay the ultimate price period.
Man, I feel like this is the calm before the largest Tsunami of this virus. I really wish for everyone's healthy future... man is this ever bad feeling.
Yes it is but keep in mind that several of the Lancet’s more prominent studies have been funded by WHO and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, that the U.S. media reported 22 million people were infected with Swine Flu in 2009 (wrong), that certain large corporations have a very strong incentive to spread fear, and that maybe, just maybe, this whole campaign is a coordinated effort to spread FUD to achieve a goal that would otherwise be unachievable. Just imagine the legislative blank check the government will have if they can convince everyone that they are about to drop dead from Wu-Flu. If the government starts pushing for a new ‘Patriot Act’, there may be something rotten in the woodpile.
Trump is not a dictator. He's the duly elected president of the United States. He has been investigated more than anyone in the history of this planet and no one has found any dirt on him. No, he survived a coup attempt and saved this country. But the psycho left will turn any topic into one about Trump. TDS is as virulent as Covid 19. The topic is the pandemic if you hadn't noticed.
WHO knows, Dr. Tedros said nothing else, exept thank him for doing good work. At the moment, I believe who's hand are tied by political entitied behind the WHO, most likely by the developed nations behind the WHO(CCP, USA, UK, France,Russia etc)
Yes, I've bought basic supplies for a month. As time goes on I'll add a little more each week. It's all stuff our family usually eats, so if/when nothing happens in our little town none of it will go to waste, we'll just eat our way through it. =) Not in a panicking way...just in a, "Welp, let's calmly get prepared just in case." way.
@@madiantin In CA we maintain an earthquake preparedness packs. Have modified and like you are quietly adding the sanitary components (wipes, masks, sanitizers, and medications). By summer it will be clear if we are in a sustained crisis.

Laurie Huntley Considering how many people there are in the world. No, we try not to overreact until there is a enough evidence the threat is real. To me, your statement is "ignorant" and a broad generalization that holds no merit.
Yeah, think he finally is accepting that numbers aren't adding up and that governments and organizations are either lying to protect special interests or are woefully ignorant.
@@absolutezero2496 I think he was hopeful it wasn't going to be that bad but the messages he got about how bad it is in the middle east just convinced him of what a lot of us have been saying. This is going to be ugly on a level we havent seen since Spanish flu or worse.
I am originally from Hong Kong and I now live in the UK. I just came back from Hong Kong 3 weeks ago. Everyone in Hong Kong is hyper vigilant of the coronavirus, we keep talking about it, we disinfect our hands every time we touch something when we are outside. Everyone is doing everything they can to protect themselves from catching the virus. Since I came back to the UK, my neighbours, friends and families have been calling me silly and over worrying about the virus. I feel like I’m living in two worlds at the same time, my heart is feeling the pain of this imminent pandemic, but my head is telling myself life is normal, the coronavirus is just like a flu (everyone in UK seems to think that way). Every time I want to talk about how bad the situation is in China, nobody wants to hear it. I’m so glad I have found this channel, I feel my heart is less alone 😢
Such a fine soul you have. I understand you and feel the same. I think life as we know it is going to change rapidly for all of us soon. Stay well and prepare. Peace from Kentucky.
Can I ask you why so many chinese are coming to Germany now? I (and many others) have seen a great increase since the outbreak, I see asians on every corner. And I live in Germany since 2010, I have never seen so many asians here.
Tailspin80 I self quarantined at home for 2 weeks since I was back. And I was in Hong Kong for 2 weeks, there were not many cases in Hong Kong when I was there. Given the amount of international travel of modern lives, it could be anyone on holiday, on business trips etc. It’s inevitable anything will spread worldwide. Pointing fingers at a stranger is not constructive to the situation is it?
He is absolutely correct. The NHS would not stand a chance. I have worked in the NHS for over a decade, and this is going to be a trying year. It could go bankrupt, simply due to lack of repairs to buildings, because all those at the top only think about headlines and patients. We would not be able to handle a couple hundred cases, even. Everything is that stretched now, it is frightening. We are talking about a time when more and more workers are retiring, and more and more demand on the service. This winter, my hospital had A&E so overloaded, it was a 16 hour waiting time, because of sheer volume of patients. This is the simple reality of the situation.
I did what i could at my work. Everyone laughed and i got these replies " you're paranoid." " you're crazy. You watch too much the walking dead" " that only happens in poor dirty countries" " that happen it china. The virus will never get here." " our goverment can handle it. The US has the best doctors in the world and strongest military. Don't worry." " its just the flu. People are making a big thing about it" "Dude dont tell me you're scared. Are you turning into those preppers in the woods?" "Why are you wearing gloves? You're not going to get sick." " Only old people will get it and die. If you're healthy you will survive. The news like to make it bigger than it is." 😞😞😞😞😞
You're not alone. My BFF told me she didnt want to hear about it. Which promptly moved her into the not so much BFF any longer. I dont handle overt stupidity well.
It seems that in GB, most of the public believe that Covid-19 is on the decline in China so it's over, and it can't possibly get onto our Island, I see it differently the more countries that get micro break outs such as South Korea and Iran, the more chance of flights bringing it here, and we will never know until the press report large numbers showing up in A&E
Thank you Dr. John - you are doing such an amazing service to those of us who want information. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me to be prepared and because of that, I feel calmer and in good shape.
Solo Oland Addis already has a lot of Chinese also I heard it’s suspected right now in Kenya and possibly Eritrea but you know Eritrea will keep things quite . But if it is in both those countries it’s already in Ethiopia but maybe it’s harder to survive in the high altitudes of Addis
@@nihilistcentraluk442 vietnam is having in under control. We have 16 confirmed cases and all has been tested negative. Currently 0 cases. Patients are diagnosed, treated free
Before it is too late, I want to thank you esteemed Dr. John Campbell. I have been following you since the begining. I hope to one day fly to the UK will the sole purpose of shaking your hand. Sincere gratitude
Canada says it’s “well prepared “ due to our brush with SARS. However, we have NO screening in the Vancouver airport which is our short hop destination from China
@@caroltopalian593 Hell yea she scared the hell out of me too. Tuned in to hear whats been learned about the virus and got an out of left field lecture about a mess of blow-hard sensitives feelings and racism instead. To say that I'm grossly unimpressed and eager for her replacement; is an understatement.
Practical #CoronaTestProblems: Here in Germany the test costs about 250 €, only special doctors are allowed to test and the samples have to be transported in #cooled conditions of safety label B. Which poor country has the money, personnel, logistics and information systems to do accurate tests and take care of patients?
Chest scans reveal the SARS-like pneumonia lesions in the lungs, unfortunately this is after the pneumonia has taken hold and by that time ARDS is imminent. (Scans are how Dr Li, the whistleblower doctor in China, noticed the virus)
Pjpo Pjpo People that get tested don’t have to pay anything in Germany either, as there is a public health insurance. But those test kits come at a cost, and someone has to pay for them. And pay the people working in the laboratories. With hundreds, or even thousands or more of test kits necessary, even the system In Germany gets stretched beyond its capacity. ICUs, hospital beds, respirators and all the equipment necessary...the costs are going to be tremendous!
@@wakeupcall2665 well idk but how about emergency fund or national treasures stuff like that? And also if Germany is able to isolate the virus dna then test kits wont become much of a problem.
Pjpo Pjpo A Virus has no DNA. You do know that a day in an Intensive Care Unit in the United States comes with a Bill of around 25.000 U$D, and that is just the room, the doctors and nurses and medication and what not comes on top. And that is for ONE patient. Now, imagine there are thousands that need ICU care, Vietnam would be overwhelmed just as much as the United States would be. Money (or lack of it) changes everything.
Its time for action. Start preparing everyone before it is too late! I'm an assistant store manager at Walmart and can tell you that the shelves will be cleaned out once panic kicks in.
I agree how serious your business is. I have a son who was working there for 20 years as of two weeks ago. As his old man I fired him you understand. In the past this employee has brought many colds and unknown health problems to myself and some other physicians I visit. So though he will miss the money at least maybe he will be alive to help rebuild. God Bless ALL Walmart employees.
Antony Otto Patients from the cruise ship are being released into population, Was 2 week quarantine long enough? It's the peak of flu season also. Do it soon and calmly. Shelves at local urban walmart were obviously being hit hard weeks ago.
As soon as the WHO said we don't need to restrict travel, I was done listening. How on Earth do they think you can prevent a pandemic without travel restrictions? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems to be that the WHO has dropped the ball on this. Completely. I'm just a biologist, not trained in infectious diseases, etc and it was obvious to me early on that this is an extremely contagious disease. Either the WHO is incompetent or doing this on purpose. Either way, it's reached the point of ridiculousness. We can all see how rapidly this is spreading in certain communities in countries outside of China.
WHO is a bad joke at this point. They could have given advice not to travel when the virus spread was limited to China but instead have chosen to ignore the problem. The cases in Iran seem to indicate a more virulent strain may have developed and this needs to be looked into urgently. This could get very bad very quickly and they are still standing around pretending everything is OK.
No. The evidence is very, very weak that the incubation periods are greater than 14 days. Also, all of the commenters suggesting American health authorities are idiots are fools. The US probably has the best public health authority in the world (CDC). A 14+ day incubation period would be pretty unheard of, especially for a virus in the family of a coronavirus. If you have been tracking the CDC's statements, you'll understand that they are very aware of the 24 day model and have said multiple times that hundreds of other models suggest far shorter incubation periods. The criticism for the World Health Organization is completely justified. I do think, however, the US health authorities (both CDC and NIH) have been really transparent. The head of NIH's infectious disease and allergies division and the CDC have been saying for weeks this will likely turn into a pandemic. In the global health security (GHS) index, the US ranks #1. We spend an impressive amount of money on public health agencies like the CDC and have the best epidemiologist in the world. The US lags behind in so many areas, but this is one where we're truly the best tasked with preventing it.
Last thing, but they're not 'shit at their jobs', they're the best at their jobs. Go and look at the requirements to join things like the EIS (Epidemiology Intelligence Service), it's super competitive and you have to have an extremely strong educational background in healthcare and epidemiology.
@@jinxedpenguin What? Very very weak? Have you been hiding under a rock? Many people now have fallen ill more than two weeks after being in contact with an infected person. Also, if you think that requirements for a job automatically make someone smart, you haven't met enough stupidity within the scientific and medical community. Oh and just because you pay the most, doesn't mean you're #1, that is such typical American bullshit lol
Karen Byrd yea. Please write back in a month and tell me if you still feel the same! Lol. The world has lived in relative peace and prosperity for the last 50 years. Many people are complacent and ignorant of real hardship. I truly wish you the best. Jesus loves you!
No health concerns from the airline company. And no health concerns on front running news stations around the world. I have friends and family that STILL think it’s a flu that will pass.

Dr John, what should we be doing in the UK? I’m extremely concerned and I follow the coronavirus very closely. People think I’m crazy for being worried.
I'm in Wisconsin, USA. There are 2 confirmed cases and both recovered. However my employer (who has connections in Asia and UK) just ordered 2,000 masks for all office & warehouse staff use. I only know because I pay the business's bills. I immediately ordered my own supply.
@K D they have just evacuated the Diamind Princess aussies. yesterday the CONFIRMED at risk cases have been transferred to the state capital hospitals around the country, including 1 confirmed and 1 suspected in Perth. I thought they were meant to remain quarantined at Christmas Island or in whatever miningcamp/ army base in NT they'd set aside for this? lies and lies and lies from our governments until people are collapsing in the streets. all in the name of preserving their stock portfolio.
@@hellsonion514 well said. Not to mention Australian universities are paying for flights for Chinese students to stay in phuket motels for 14 days as quarantine so they don't loose student money and the government said that's fine.
@Gloria Vargo Proof of that? I don't think they take them down but they probably do de-monetize them. I don't think the titles of the videos help, YT has speech recognition so their system knows that the video is about the corona virus + all comments mentioning WHO and corona

@@phungyi4947 Yes. Diarrhea can aerosolise the virus and others can breathe in the tiny particles. There are recorded cases of this happening during previous outbreaks. The fecal-oral route is it's name.
When Dr. John says it is series and how ill-prepared we are, that's scary. We blame China for lack of transparency but soon we will realize that all governments are same.
nukestrom. Do you mean ‘serious’? DO get your spelling correct. These are are so important goings on we need correct facts, not misrepresented by the wrong words. ‘Series’ indeed!
It very well may not, especially if the government gets a legislative blank check to pass a ‘bio-patriot’ act. Just saying, they constantly lie to us about everything, I can almost guarantee you that there is some nasty legislation sitting on a desk in Washington, just waiting for a terror stricken public to fall in line.
Dr. Campbell, You report the official numbers without bias, and use Socratic Method and logic. Thank you for all you are doing to help people around the world to understand and stay informed. We are truly grateful.
It's really worrying to hear John's response to the NHS statement. After watching his videos for the past few weeks and listening to his balanced and carefully measured explanations you know he's not someone looking to cause panic. It's clear that the UK government is now playing the cover-up game just like others have already been doing. I'm stocking up an hoping to keep my family safe but this is feeling like it's going to get difficult

Thank you Dr. I use you to temper my tendency to "over react". You seem very honest and level headed. After this video... I think I'll go ahead and over react
Thank you, Dr. Campbell. This unfolding story has many unfortunate turns. It is clear to me that action needs to be taken at a LOCAL level: your neighborhood, your church, your town - local leaders care about people not about "numbers". We need to address the local leaders of communities and to appeal to their sense of personal responsibility, compassion, and their dedication to service-to-others. Bless you. Be safe.
I am from Italy and i am very surprised by what is happening, all of a sudden 39 casesin in about 36 hours and in very little towns near Milan, this is strange, there is little social life in those little towns, i would expect much more cases in a rushy city like Milan instead at now no cases here, very weird.
It’s all about testing. WHO guidelines say doctors can only test symptomatic people with direct connection with China. Most cases are mild. The guy in Codogno was the 1st case who went to a doctor in sever conditions and mentioned direct connection with China (the friend who then tested negative). It’s all about testing. Or NOT testing, I should say
Thank you for this daily update by you Dr. John Campbell, much appreciate it. Im watching from Jakarta Indonesia. Most of the local people that I’ve seen on the street, big shopping malls or around my surrounding are hardly talking about this let alone aware with their hygiene standard! When I’m out and about I always wear my face mask, a hand glove and always washing my hands every time I come back from outside, or touching money. I’m not being paranoid but I just don’t want to get this horrible virus plus I’ve had cancer few years ago so I have to make sure my immune system is strong! I’m being extra vigilant. Take care everyone and please stay healthy, happy and don’t forget to keep washing your hands more regularly. Love and thank you Dr. Campbell you’re a star ❤️🙏😷
Snopy Gabbie - thank you, yes, I stay indoor most of the times. I get up very early in the morning for daily exercise (walking with my dog) when no one around, I avoided big crowds completely.
hey there, I share your view. I"m an expat located in Jakarta as well. I am really worried to see how nobody seems to be taking this seriously. Not sure which countries will be up to this challenge but Indonesia sure won"t be.
Fahmi_H2.0 I’m not naive but the government seems don’t really talk much about it! Not even on the local tv networks reminding people for being more hygienic and don’t go out if you’re not well. 🤦♀️
@Dr. John Campbell Don't get too discouraged about everything, and keep up the good work. Between the media down-playing everything, and the crazies on the internet saying it is the end of the world, you have been the one consistant voice of reason. Thanks for all you are doing!
Here in canada a lot of our hospitals are so overcapacity its impossible to be prepared for this. I work in a hospital and Friday we were at 130% capacity.
Rhys Aqs I hear you, think of the long term care facilities with poorly prepared PSWs, our news media has given them a very hard time over the last year. Demented residents who do not follow instruction, mingle and are in very close proximity. Those angry hateful family members who want everything to be done for grandma likely are not going to be on the front line helping take care of their relatives.
I went to see my rheumatologist yesterday. In the last year the decline at the hospital has been incredible and I’d say it’s not far from shutting down now. The doctors are refusing to treat and test people for the diseases they already know they have, I am one of the worst cases in the clinic and yesterday I know she was trying to refuse biologic treatment because of money not because I don’t need it, we as a country and I’m my own experience my local hospital for certain, we are not prepared! Every year at least once I’m hospitalised with Flu/pneumonia/sepsis and those experiences tell me that we aren’t even prepared for flu season every year! This is craziness so many people in authority and in charge of our health who are brushing this under the carpet like it’s nothing. Many of these people are highly qualified including in medicine and yet they are treating this as if it’s nothing to worry about. It was stated in my appointment that my biggest problem is infection in my lungs constantly, the covid19 wasn’t even mentioned, indeed she complained that I need to get off high dose steroids because it’s hiding my RA swelling but I’ve had to be on high dose for constant lung infection since New Years. I’m starting to wonder... is it actually covid19 I’ve been so poorly with. Any doctors I’ve spoken to don’t even seem to want to discuss it without assuming I’m panicking! It worries me more how ignorant everyone is being than the disease worries me tbh
Gypsy Path honestly I’ve mentioned the subject to a couple of health workers who’ve dealt with me whilst I’ve been sick, their attitude has been to fully brush it off and tell me that it’s going to go away and not to worry lol
Thankyou good doctor. You have been the voice of logical reason throughout all of this. I hope that humanity can pull together and fight this virus. Also importantly let us learn that we can't keep treating the earth and our other fellow earthlings like rubbish
Mavis _Bacon That’s more like it. Silly that we think Government has the answers to every problem, even more silly is they think they do. I am in Canada and think we are in for a big wave of this virus, even though we are told daily we are low risk. Pre pared as I can be, I am 64 and figure I will stay home until the end. I will do my best to keep away from hospitals. I worked in them most of my life last place I want to be.
It looks like the truth about the deadly nature of the virus is coming to light now it has spread beyond China. We weren't getting the full picture before.
Even the reporters hve come to ridicule the WHO. Before their last press briefing reporters assembled said "window of opportunity" and "stability no stigma" mockingly.
A couple of weeks ago, before we had any cases in the UK I read a report from Hammond saying NHS is good to go and can easily manage 500 people without impact to local service and provision... A few days after that it vanished - can't find that statement anywhere. I wish I'd screen shot the article, because I think it's pretty clear now that there is potential for many more cases in the UK....
Elizabeth Lucy I live in the USA, and we can’t handle a bunch of sick people, trust. I bet our government will say we can, though. This past year they have been CLOSING hospitals in the city (Philadelphia)because of money. The ones open now are busy as crap, the flu season has been rough.
Thank you for the updates. Keep up the good work and yes... please tell the world. We need to know these things so we can prepare. Best wishes from Slovenia to all of you who are reading this and watching dr. John Campbell's videos.
Oh John, you sound tired and worried. Perhaps it's going to be quite tragic, but I want to let you know that a weird human like me enjoy seeing scientists like you explaining to the people the possible implications while our MSM stays silent. _\\//
I’ve just been on my way to Birmingham from manchester and passed 2 coaches with curtains shut with a convoy of police and ambulances. Don’t know where they were going but It’s here also at stepping hill hospital in Stockport people were seen in white suits today. Also nothing about it on the news
if you or I were bureaucrats we would fall in line, it's easy to say the right thing from the outside but when you are in the middle of it its a different reality. The bureaucrats have to weigh so many things before the bullshitting takes place. Its not an excuse, theres not a lot of us that have the courage until we are outside that system
Good morning from fellow medic downunder. Love the last part. NHS well prepared indeed. Well it seems there's a lot of denial going on around and it's going to take a higher death toll than seasonal flu to wake them up! Regarding the Iran severe cases quickly deteriorating, it could be that the patients presenting to hospital for help are already so sick that they are tipping into respiratory distress whilst attending for diagnosis.
Around 40% of infected in Italy are in serious condition. We are all fked up. When there will be no beds in hospital and oxygen 1/4 of population will be wiped out
Hello fellow aussie. Its just a matter of time and numbers now. This is a car that has gone over the edge. Just waiting on the impact. We're prepping with friends to isolate ourselves on a property. Cause we see where this is leading up to. My son is in korea. I'm begging him to get out. These are troubling times to come. Yet in Australia the people just don't give a damn. FOOLS.
Once again, thank you for bringing reality & facts to the situation. If it's panic they are trying to avoid, they need to realize that the truth will come out and all they will do is make fools of themselves.
Modeling experts from the Imperial College London suggests that two-thirds of cases exported from China's mainland have gone undetected. In my small town of 50,000, the store shelves in a major grocery store is emptying in certain long storable items. The word is getting out.
WOW 30 in Italy pretty much over night. holy cow. If it's in Italy it's probably all over Europe as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to update us all!
It's called lag time so other countries will now start seeing spike in numbers, they told us this would happen. Wuhan are now at there peak high of infection, thanks to the efforts of people not coming in close contact and disinfecting the area.
Dr. Campbell - you have the gratitude of thousands. Your honesty and knowledge is invaluable to us. So many will be better prepared because of your desire to educate the general public.
Jesus take the wheel
It's so cringy calling this guy a doctor just because his RUclips channel says he is one
On LinkedIn his Ph.D. Is listed.
In the US.
It amazes how many of my friends and coworkers either have no clue about this virus or simply not taking it seriously.
Education is key to surviving this!
I still have co-workers accusing those of us that are concerned that we are racist against the Chinese and this is no big deal. That the flu is much worse... But I work in California and it may be the death of me.
I work at a large Chinese grocery in St Louis. Owners and management all Chinese. They think nothing of this virus, as if there is some invisible protective bubble over St Louis. Just business as usual.
Agree
In spite of all the scare tactics, nothing much is going on in the US. Meanwhile, I have seen comments to the effect that the people who are getting really sick or dying in China have other conditions that make them more vulnerable. Duh. The Chinese in big cities have been breathing "air" as thick as fog for decades, and they are now paying the price for that.
HotSnot TaterTot same here. They actually rolled their eyes and told me to stop obsessing over the virus
"Don't take my word"...
Sorry, Dr. John, I can't think of any other person's word I would rather take...
Throughout this whole sorry saga...you've enlightened the darkest corners...
Rational...measured...infinitely well informed...
I suspect many others feel the same way...
Well said
I feel the same way and couldnt have said it better. Unfortunately i feel in the upcoming weeks or months, its very possible that all of the internet and social media overseers will come down on the likes of dr john campbell and peak prosperity and this "alternative" journalism will be haulted. If im not mistaken they are already demonetized.
I scrolled down to make the comment that you just made so all I could say from here is "ditto".
When he said "Don't take my word" , well we all just need to learn to read between the lines. A Windy morning indeed, and very somber report this was
Agreed
You have probably already saved thousands of lives dear doctor. Keep telling everyone the truth and you will save countless more.
Lol this guy isn't even a doctor
He has a Ph.D. So yes, he can properly be called Dr. Campbell.

No, I'm pretty sure I'd call you a troll.

You knew it from the beginning Dr. John. Thank you so much for educating us.
The WHO should be disregarded and discredited for their lack of response, prioritizing commerce over public health.
The WHO is corrupt and has no credibility, how many times have they declared a pandemic and it never happened. screw the WHO
@Umbrella Corporation oh shit Umbrella has entered the chat
@Joanna d'Arc If you have missed it, Dr Campbell has been reporting those stats you posted every single day. There is much more to this than just those numbers. Not to be insulting to you, but the very likelihood of those numbers being purposely or deliberately misrepresented is HIGH.
The WHO is like the mayor in Jaws who tried to downplay the risk of a shark attacking swimmers because it would hamper tourist income in his town.
@Gayle Lynch Have you been watching Peak Prosperity, Medcram or Dr Mike Hansen also? Odd are it is aerosolized vs not.
Thank you, Dr John Campbell, for covering this outbreak better than anybody else. You're giving us practical advice and explaining everything in an understandable way, more so than any mainstream news outlet. God bless, please keep up the good work. I'm sure your videos will help us be best prepared for the probable pandemic.
We aren't "well prepared" here in the US either. I work in health care and we haven't had a single team meeting about what to do if coronavirus cases start to rise.
Seeing the same thing here in USA. There are a few issues with nosocomial spread that people may not realize. First patients who are not initially infected but have comorbidity become critical from this. Second healthcare workers are people that make mistakes and break with isolation procedures and get infected so not only do they need care but they can no longer care for the ill.
That's more than a little alarming as an American citizen...
New Jersey has set up a state level Coronavirus Task Force, it seems like the federal government had let it up to the states.
Frank Zappa NJ has one of the 11 military Quarantine centers as well They list it as Newark because that is where the airport is but it is actually at Fort Dix Maguire Air force base 90 minutes south.

@@Ironrodpower - second that recommendation 👍
As a fellow doctor, I completely agree with your sentiments about "doing everything we can". I honestly feel that testing and managing at risk groups hasn't been up to scratch. Not sure we can trust everyone has followed the guidance regarding self quarantine.
This situation is hopeless .They will have to find another way of managing.
Dear Doctor, the real problem is the asymptomatic patients who can spread the virus to others without them knowing they even have the virus!? How do you solve that?
Oh, I'm sure you know many of them cannot be trusted when it comes to self quarantine. Quarantine literally means 40 days btw, and for good reasons.
Especially that the incubation period is 14 days, or even up to 3 weeks in some reports. As a doctor myself, how do I know if one of my patients that I see in my clinic is not carrying the virus or not, irrespective of their travel history
How do homeless people self quarantine? I live in a car and I have to go in a store every time I go to the bathroom or need something to eat and shower at the gym everyday.
There are around half a million homeless people in the US and we're more likely to be exposed and can't self-quarantine.
Not having affordable housing is going to bite society in the butt if this thing does spread.
I would rather hear the cold, harsh truth than a warm and fuzzy lie. Thank you.
as saying goes "it is better to swallow a bitter truth than sweet lie"
@Q Anon to be fair he is trying to be accurate as much as he can althoug he mentioned several time that CCP number's are underestimate.
I'm sure you would, so would I. However, most people don't, and it is well understood panic is usually worse than the thing - makes it even worse for the uninformed. Get yourself, your family and friends ready, and pray.
Everyone will get this. Whether u make it thru it is down to a lot of variables that aren't completely understood at the moment unfortunately. And it's possible to get it time after time. Every time being worse than before and leaving your body more susceptible to this and other illness. This will burn thru high risk populations just like it has done in China. Our heath systems can't deal with 20% of the population needing help in some way. They haven't done anything because they KNOW there is no stopping this. And it will make its rounds til it can't anymore. Sigh...
Try explaining that to a religious person.
As it keeps getting worse, the surreal silence & incompetence of our leaders is astounding. They really are going to let millions die & then we know they will claim they couldn't stop it.
I'm afraid that is true😐
Ed Ed: the government hires the best people they can.
I'm not a trump hater but when he said it'll be warm out soon I truly now think that was just a buy sometime.
Probably bieng done deliberately they only have 10 years to create all the changes to society called for in their agenda 2030 scheme. Nothing brings change like massive global scale disaster and death. They will use the virus as a reason to impose massive travel restrictions and other draconian measures but these will only come AFTER the virus.

The number one priority of the ‘Health Organizations’ around the world is money, the health of the citizens is a secondary consideration.
In reality there probably is as much or more danger in the collapse of society! The aftermath of those who survive😳💣
SCOTT ontheboat True. If the global economy shuts down (that I personally think is a possibility if this gets bad), food stops moving, power plant employees stop going to work, people aren’t paid and can’t pay their bills (including their real estate property taxes), etc.
Cow Dog I think you are incredibly naive if you do not understand just how vital it is to avoid a global economic collapse. That could be a far greater world tragedy than this virus.
The number one priority of ANY government or governmental organizaton is money and power. The health and welfare of its citizens is important only for their ability to produce and be taxed.
Drea D That is the position we’re in thanks to the all knowing elites that won’t suffer at all no matter what happens and really don’t care about anything except money. global economic dependence (on China in this case) is the real problem we face. If we don’t learn anything at all and continue on this path of globalization, it WILL be a Lot worse the next time and more people are going to pay the ultimate price period.
Man, I feel like this is the calm before the largest Tsunami of this virus. I really wish for everyone's healthy future... man is this ever bad feeling.
Yes it is but keep in mind that several of the Lancet’s more prominent studies have been funded by WHO and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, that the U.S. media reported 22 million people were infected with Swine Flu in 2009 (wrong), that certain large corporations have a very strong incentive to spread fear, and that maybe, just maybe, this whole campaign is a coordinated effort to spread FUD to achieve a goal that would otherwise be unachievable. Just imagine the legislative blank check the government will have if they can convince everyone that they are about to drop dead from Wu-Flu. If the government starts pushing for a new ‘Patriot Act’, there may be something rotten in the woodpile.

The NHS would be overwhelmed in days . And that’s being optimistic .
The incubation time of the virus is fortunately even longer than your average wait at A & E.
"Nothing to see here! Move along."
Maybe not if they cancelled all no-essential appointments and operations. They could also get the military involved. This is my problem with this guy. He's an A&E nurse but hasn't indicated that he's in any way involved in emergency planning
More beds in corridors. More children crying in the waiting area. More drunks knocking about triage. And metal seats that are way too hard.
"We are doing everything we can to protect the economy" would be more apt.

I am originally from Hong Kong and I now live in the UK. I just came back from Hong Kong 3 weeks ago. Everyone in Hong Kong is hyper vigilant of the coronavirus, we keep talking about it, we disinfect our hands every time we touch something when we are outside. Everyone is doing everything they can to protect themselves from catching the virus. Since I came back to the UK, my neighbours, friends and families have been calling me silly and over worrying about the virus. I feel like I’m living in two worlds at the same time, my heart is feeling the pain of this imminent pandemic, but my head is telling myself life is normal, the coronavirus is just like a flu (everyone in UK seems to think that way). Every time I want to talk about how bad the situation is in China, nobody wants to hear it. I’m so glad I have found this channel, I feel my heart is less alone 😢
Such a fine soul you have. I understand you and feel the same. I think life as we know it is going to change rapidly for all of us soon. Stay well and prepare. Peace from Kentucky.
Very few have listened to me either. My adult children live in major cities and think that I am crazy because I worry about this.
It will be someone like you that brings it here and kills millions.
Can I ask you why so many chinese are coming to Germany now? I (and many others) have seen a great increase since the outbreak, I see asians on every corner. And I live in Germany since 2010, I have never seen so many asians here.
Tailspin80 I self quarantined at home for 2 weeks since I was back. And I was in Hong Kong for 2 weeks, there were not many cases in Hong Kong when I was there. Given the amount of international travel of modern lives, it could be anyone on holiday, on business trips etc. It’s inevitable anything will spread worldwide. Pointing fingers at a stranger is not constructive to the situation is it?
Fellow MD here. Keep up the excellent coverage. Love your style and effort in preparing these videos. 👏🏻🇨🇦
THIS. This is a doctor. (Don't care if you're called a doctor or a nurse - my own primary care giver is a nurse practitioner and she's amazing.)
He is absolutely correct. The NHS would not stand a chance.
I have worked in the NHS for over a decade, and this is going to be a trying year. It could go bankrupt, simply due to lack of repairs to buildings, because all those at the top only think about headlines and patients.
We would not be able to handle a couple hundred cases, even. Everything is that stretched now, it is frightening. We are talking about a time when more and more workers are retiring, and more and more demand on the service. This winter, my hospital had A&E so overloaded, it was a 16 hour waiting time, because of sheer volume of patients.
This is the simple reality of the situation.
The US is not ready. I dont see our goverment containing this virus for a long period.
I just can’t warn the people I know anymore,they won’t listen and laugh at me so good luck then
I did what i could at my work. Everyone laughed and i got these replies
" you're paranoid."
" you're crazy. You watch too much the walking dead"
" that only happens in poor dirty countries"
" that happen it china. The virus will never get here."
" our goverment can handle it. The US has the best doctors in the world and strongest military. Don't worry."
" its just the flu. People are making a big thing about it"
"Dude dont tell me you're scared. Are you turning into those preppers in the woods?"
"Why are you wearing gloves? You're not going to get sick."

It seems that in GB, most of the public believe that Covid-19 is on the decline in China so it's over, and it can't possibly get onto our Island, I see it differently the more countries that get micro break outs such as South Korea and Iran, the more chance of flights bringing it here, and we will never know until the press report large numbers showing up in A&E
Thank you Dr. John - you are doing such an amazing service to those of us who want information. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me to be prepared and because of that, I feel calmer and in good shape.
Brace yourselves for an explosion of cases in Africa in 1-2 weeks. Addis is a major hub. Also saying hi to the Carnival in Rio. Have fun, lads... 🙈

Solo Oland Addis already has a lot of Chinese also I heard it’s suspected right now in Kenya and possibly Eritrea but you know Eritrea will keep things quite . But if it is in both those countries it’s already in Ethiopia but maybe it’s harder to survive in the high altitudes of Addis
Also, the Olympic Games won't be happening this year. I give it about 4 weeks until it is announced.
At least Carnival is early this year, perhaps Rio should give up "going out in public" for Lent?

Another appreciated update Dr.
Cheers from Canada!
Canada says it’s “well prepared “ due to our brush with SARS. However, we have NO screening in the Vancouver airport which is our short hop destination from China
I was worried from the first time I heard our provincial health officer speak. She downplayed concerns; only now is she grasping the big picture.
If you screen the Chinese coming in you're a racist clearly. Trudeau strikes again
Plus we are still accepting all flights from Mainland China. Plus the only thing they have told us is to wash our hands and don’t be a racist.
@@caroltopalian593 Hell yea she scared the hell out of me too.

@Adil Alfa And then they wonder why none of the eastern countries respect the west.
Practical #CoronaTestProblems: Here in Germany the test costs about 250 €, only special doctors are allowed to test and the samples have to be transported in #cooled conditions of safety label B. Which poor country has the money, personnel, logistics and information systems to do accurate tests and take care of patients?
Chest scans reveal the SARS-like pneumonia lesions in the lungs, unfortunately this is after the pneumonia has taken hold and by that time ARDS is imminent. (Scans are how Dr Li, the whistleblower doctor in China, noticed the virus)
Thats germany problem. We Vietnam is a poor country but patients here are diagnosed, quarantined and treated free of charge
Pjpo Pjpo People that get tested don’t have to pay anything in Germany either, as there is a public health insurance. But those test kits come at a cost, and someone has to pay for them. And pay the people working in the laboratories. With hundreds, or even thousands or more of test kits necessary, even the system
In Germany gets stretched beyond its capacity. ICUs, hospital beds, respirators and all the equipment necessary...the costs are going to be tremendous!
@@wakeupcall2665 well idk but how about emergency fund or national treasures stuff like that? And also if Germany is able to isolate the virus dna then test kits wont become much of a problem.
Pjpo Pjpo A Virus has no DNA. You do know that a day in an Intensive Care Unit in the United States comes with a Bill of around 25.000 U$D, and that is just the room, the doctors and nurses and medication and what not comes on top. And that is for ONE patient. Now, imagine there are thousands that need ICU care, Vietnam would be overwhelmed just as much as the United States would be. Money (or lack of it) changes everything.

@@OhNoWhateverNextLOL I haven't been notified of any directives yet.
WHO: Window of opportunity to control this virus is closing.
Also WHO: No need for travel restrictions.
I've lost confidence that WHO is telling the truth.
As soon as the WHO said we don't need to restrict travel, I was done listening. How on Earth do they think you can prevent a pandemic without travel restrictions? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems to be that the WHO has dropped the ball on this. Completely. I'm just a biologist, not trained in infectious diseases, etc and it was obvious to me early on that this is an extremely contagious disease. Either the WHO is incompetent or doing this on purpose. Either way, it's reached the point of ridiculousness. We can all see how rapidly this is spreading in certain communities in countries outside of China.
WHO is a bad joke at this point. They could have given advice not to travel when the virus spread was limited to China but instead have chosen to ignore the problem. The cases in Iran seem to indicate a more virulent strain may have developed and this needs to be looked into urgently. This could get very bad very quickly and they are still standing around pretending everything is OK.
Both Canada and the USA’s CDC are using now outdated quarantine time periods and testing requirements. Their failures in these areas are staggering.
We pay them to be shit at their jobs. Joe Blow down the block has more brains than them.
The public are more discerning and wise than some of these so called health professionals
No. The evidence is very, very weak that the incubation periods are greater than 14 days. Also, all of the commenters suggesting American health authorities are idiots are fools. The US probably has the best public health authority in the world (CDC). A 14+ day incubation period would be pretty unheard of, especially for a virus in the family of a coronavirus. If you have been tracking the CDC's statements, you'll understand that they are very aware of the 24 day model and have said multiple times that hundreds of other models suggest far shorter incubation periods.
The criticism for the World Health Organization is completely justified. I do think, however, the US health authorities (both CDC and NIH) have been really transparent. The head of NIH's infectious disease and allergies division and the CDC have been saying for weeks this will likely turn into a pandemic.
In the global health security (GHS) index, the US ranks #1. We spend an impressive amount of money on public health agencies like the CDC and have the best epidemiologist in the world. The US lags behind in so many areas, but this is one where we're truly the best tasked with preventing it.
Last thing, but they're not 'shit at their jobs', they're the best at their jobs. Go and look at the requirements to join things like the EIS (Epidemiology Intelligence Service), it's super competitive and you have to have an extremely strong educational background in healthcare and epidemiology.
@@jinxedpenguin What? Very very weak? Have you been hiding under a rock? Many people now have fallen ill more than two weeks after being in contact with an infected person.

Lisa JW what masks and where are they made?
Check the quality of those masks. Some mask sold in walmart were fake. Super thin that you can rip them.
This is become very sobering, I cant imagine it getting worse. The world doesn't seem to be taking it seriously.
@K D they have just evacuated the Diamind Princess aussies. yesterday the CONFIRMED at risk cases have been transferred to the state capital hospitals around the country, including 1 confirmed and 1 suspected in Perth.
I thought they were meant to remain quarantined at Christmas Island or in whatever miningcamp/ army base in NT they'd set aside for this?
lies and lies and lies from our governments until people are collapsing in the streets. all in the name of preserving their stock portfolio.
@@hellsonion514 well said. Not to mention Australian universities are paying for flights for Chinese students to stay in phuket motels for 14 days as quarantine so they don't loose student money and the government said that's fine.
Four years of Russiagate, which the NYT and CNN are resurrecting, but this has dropped from the headlines. We are a foolish race.
J Tay, that is because world leaders are not (or pretending not) to take it seriously.
Yes indeed.The world is casually whistling it's way straight to the cemetery without the slightest regard.Move along folks, nothing to see here.
The good doctor knows how to dodge RUclips with creative video titles.
Anonymous yes, I used to watch 2 other channels. All their videos on this topic were removed.
@Gloria Vargo Proof of that? I don't think they take them down but they probably do de-monetize them. I don't think the titles of the videos help, YT has speech recognition so their system knows that the video is about the corona virus + all comments mentioning WHO and corona
He did mention in his livestream tonight that he is experiencing some "internet censorship" with his videos, and his videos are not reaching all his audience. (That's how I interpret it) ruclips.net/video/BDhKMZrAbPE/видео.html
Praying for the best - Preparing for the worst! Thank you Dr. Campbell!
YIKES! The upbeat Doctor that we can rely on for information is seriously worried now. I will be paying much closer attention AND shopping for bleach, alcohol and basic food. Thank you for your work Dr. Campbell.
The fan is spinning and the monkey is winding up its throw
It might spread through faeces too?
@@phungyi4947 Yes. Diarrhea can aerosolise the virus and others can breathe in the tiny particles. There are recorded cases of this happening during previous outbreaks.
The fecal-oral route is it's name.
I love this man, "we weren't prepared for Monday morning."
When Dr. John says it is series and how ill-prepared we are, that's scary.
We blame China for lack of transparency but soon we will realize that all governments are same.
nukestrom. Surely, you never believe ANY government? I certainly don’t. Never have, never will.
THISSS. The CDC in the US are taking their sweet time.
nukestrom. Do you mean ‘serious’? DO get your spelling correct. These are are so important goings on we need correct facts, not misrepresented by the wrong words. ‘Series’ indeed!
@@margaretlavender4418
Really!
Stop bulling people, maybe they have dyslexia! Education has given us such given lovely leaders BTW!
👁️. What is a “given lovely leader”?
stay strong, doc!
"If you think this is going to end well, you haven't been paying attention."
Edward McGrath it’s ended horribly already with so many losing their lives
It very well may not, especially if the government gets a legislative blank check to pass a ‘bio-patriot’ act. Just saying, they constantly lie to us about everything, I can almost guarantee you that there is some nasty legislation sitting on a desk in Washington, just waiting for a terror stricken public to fall in line.
Dr. Campbell, You report the official numbers without bias, and use Socratic Method and logic. Thank you for all you are doing to help people around the world to understand and stay informed. We are truly grateful.
It's really worrying to hear John's response to the NHS statement. After watching his videos for the past few weeks and listening to his balanced and carefully measured explanations you know he's not someone looking to cause panic.
It's clear that the UK government is now playing the cover-up game just like others have already been doing.
I'm stocking up an hoping to keep my family safe but this is feeling like it's going to get difficult
At least you're trying to keep your family safe. I wish you the best!!!
If the virus is that dangerous as we might suspect you just giving yourself more time. We all get it one day if this all bad news will be true. I hope not because otherwise we are facing the worst thing what happened to the world from II ww
Keep doing this Dr. Campbell. I really appreciate everything you do!
I bet we're all glad we kept the borders open! We may be dying on mass, but at least we aren't racist. Am I right guys? *Coughs up a lung*
No borders, no walls, Corona Virus for all.
Dear John, This is your fan from North Dakota. I am praying to our Lord Jesus Christ that he will protect you from Covid19. You are some peace in the storm. Keep on keeping on my dear man.God Bless
Nancy Weisser, Amen! ❤️
Thank you Dr. I use you to temper my tendency to "over react". You seem very honest and level headed. After this video... I think I'll go ahead and over react
Thank you, Dr. Campbell. This unfolding story has many unfortunate turns. It is clear to me that action needs to be taken at a LOCAL level: your neighborhood, your church, your town - local leaders care about people not about "numbers". We need to address the local leaders of communities and to appeal to their sense of personal responsibility, compassion, and their dedication to service-to-others. Bless you. Be safe.
Thank you Dr. Campbell. You share real truth. A rare quality these days. All the best from Texas.
I am from Italy and i am very surprised by what is happening, all of a sudden 39 casesin in about 36 hours and in very little towns near Milan, this is strange, there is little social life in those little towns, i would expect much more cases in a rushy city like Milan instead at now no cases here, very weird.
It’s all about testing. WHO guidelines say doctors can only test symptomatic people with direct connection with China. Most cases are mild. The guy in Codogno was the 1st case who went to a doctor in sever conditions and mentioned direct connection with China (the friend who then tested negative). It’s all about testing. Or NOT testing, I should say
They are making similar statements about preparedness in the US. Officials are buying time and trying to delay panic.
Thank you for this daily update by you Dr. John Campbell, much appreciate it. Im watching from Jakarta Indonesia. Most of the local people that I’ve seen on the street, big shopping malls or around my surrounding are hardly talking about this let alone aware with their hygiene standard! When I’m out and about I always wear my face mask, a hand glove and always washing my hands every time I come back from outside, or touching money. I’m not being paranoid but I just don’t want to get this horrible virus plus I’ve had cancer few years ago so I have to make sure my immune system is strong! I’m being extra vigilant. Take care everyone and please stay healthy, happy and don’t forget to keep washing your hands more regularly. Love and thank you Dr. Campbell you’re a star ❤️🙏😷
The test kit is not reliable to detect the virus. Better to avoid the crowds for a couple of weeks.
Snopy Gabbie - thank you, yes, I stay indoor most of the times. I get up very early in the morning for daily exercise (walking with my dog) when no one around, I avoided big crowds completely.
hey there, I share your view. I"m an expat located in Jakarta as well. I am really worried to see how nobody seems to be taking this seriously. Not sure which countries will be up to this challenge but Indonesia sure won"t be.
And you have to be very naive to believe that Indonesia (just like North Korea) doesn't have a single case of infection.
Fahmi_H2.0 I’m not naive but the government seems don’t really talk much about it! Not even on the local tv networks reminding people for being more hygienic and don’t go out if you’re not well. 🤦♀️
@Dr. John Campbell
Don't get too discouraged about everything, and keep up the good work. Between the media down-playing everything, and the crazies on the internet saying it is the end of the world, you have been the one consistant voice of reason. Thanks for all you are doing!
Here in canada a lot of our hospitals are so overcapacity its impossible to be prepared for this. I work in a hospital and Friday we were at 130% capacity.
But not from the corona virus. Still, I you make an excellent point that we have overcrowded hospitals already. A virus would be catastrophic
Rhys Aqs I hear you, think of the long term care facilities with poorly prepared PSWs, our news media has given them a very hard time over the last year. Demented residents who do not follow instruction, mingle and are in very close proximity. Those angry hateful family members who want everything to be done for grandma likely are not going to be on the front line helping take care of their relatives.
170%+ in Québec. We are fucked.
I went to see my rheumatologist yesterday. In the last year the decline at the hospital has been incredible and I’d say it’s not far from shutting down now. The doctors are refusing to treat and test people for the diseases they already know they have, I am one of the worst cases in the clinic and yesterday I know she was trying to refuse biologic treatment because of money not because I don’t need it, we as a country and I’m my own experience my local hospital for certain, we are not prepared! Every year at least once I’m hospitalised with Flu/pneumonia/sepsis and those experiences tell me that we aren’t even prepared for flu season every year! This is craziness so many people in authority and in charge of our health who are brushing this under the carpet like it’s nothing. Many of these people are highly qualified including in medicine and yet they are treating this as if it’s nothing to worry about. It was stated in my appointment that my biggest problem is infection in my lungs constantly, the covid19 wasn’t even mentioned, indeed she complained that I need to get off high dose steroids because it’s hiding my RA swelling but I’ve had to be on high dose for constant lung infection since New Years. I’m starting to wonder... is it actually covid19 I’ve been so poorly with. Any doctors I’ve spoken to don’t even seem to want to discuss it without assuming I’m panicking! It worries me more how ignorant everyone is being than the disease worries me tbh
MammaCass Crafts Can you go to a different hospital and request a COVID19 test?
Gypsy Path honestly I’ve mentioned the subject to a couple of health workers who’ve dealt with me whilst I’ve been sick, their attitude has been to fully brush it off and tell me that it’s going to go away and not to worry lol
MammaCass Crafts Where are you? Love Mamma Cass. Sounds like you are in a rural setting.
Thankyou good doctor. You have been the voice of logical reason throughout all of this.
I hope that humanity can pull together and fight this virus.
Also importantly let us learn that we can't keep treating the earth and our other fellow earthlings like rubbish
His dry humor is hilarious. Only good thing with all this bad news.
“We weren’t prepared for a Monday morning” 😂 sorry to laugh but what else can I do.
Dark humour, we're going to need a lot of that to see us through the weeks ahead.
ruclips.net/video/O5zGkqAWsWE/видео.html
Mavis _Bacon That’s more like it. Silly that we think Government has the answers to every problem, even more silly is they think they do.
I am in Canada and think we are in for a big wave of this virus, even though we are told daily we are low risk. Pre pared as I can be, I am 64 and figure I will stay home until the end. I will do my best to keep away from hospitals. I worked in them most of my life last place I want to be.
You're a good man, John. Thank you for everything you've done to keep us informed. I pray that both you, and the UK can manage to avoid this pandemic.
What’s happening in Iran makes me wonder if they’re dealt with a mutated strain already. Yikes.
It looks like the truth about the deadly nature of the virus is coming to light now it has spread beyond China. We weren't getting the full picture before.
Any place with poor hygiene and a disregard for other people's safety is a disaster waiting to happen.
China was lying all along and their lapdog WHO was repeating every word
Enemies of the USA get the worse strain, perhaps ?
@@juliangernos How is life in Russia
You sound very concerned today :'(
Thank you from my heart, Dr. Campbell, from across the pond, in Texas.
I nominate Dr. Cambell as the new head of the WHO.
If you support this just add a thumbs up.
Even the reporters hve come to ridicule the WHO. Before their last press briefing reporters assembled said "window of opportunity" and "stability no stigma" mockingly.
Actually they can use some assistance like this; Over-work and startling false contention abounds and does nothing to effect their correct duty;
A couple of weeks ago, before we had any cases in the UK I read a report from Hammond saying NHS is good to go and can easily manage 500 people without impact to local service and provision... A few days after that it vanished - can't find that statement anywhere. I wish I'd screen shot the article, because I think it's pretty clear now that there is potential for many more cases in the UK....
Elizabeth Lucy I live in the USA, and we can’t handle a bunch of sick people, trust. I bet our government will say we can, though.
This past year they have been CLOSING hospitals in the city (Philadelphia)because of money.
The ones open now are busy as crap, the flu season has been rough.
NHS is as unprepared and incompetent as CDC and WHO branch of CCP
I think that we are in a lot of trouble...
Thank you for the updates. Keep up the good work and yes... please tell the world. We need to know these things so we can prepare. Best wishes from Slovenia to all of you who are reading this and watching dr. John Campbell's videos.
Not looking good. Doc, you're a star. Thanks for bringing us truth, even when it's not rosy. Praying for the people of Iran.
Donated $20, as a token of appreciation for your excellent posts and all the hard work, Dr. Campbell.
The Doctor ain't mincing any words😂
And that's why we love him =)
Hello Dr! Good day from Kentucky, USA! Thank you so much for your amazing content as always. I’m here and taking notes. 😂
This information is more accurate and informative than any other source I've observed thus far. Thank you for sharing Dr. John!
I don’t think any country in the world is ”well prepared” for this... except for North Korea .
Oh John, you sound tired and worried. Perhaps it's going to be quite tragic, but I want to let you know that a weird human like me enjoy seeing scientists like you explaining to the people the possible implications while our MSM stays silent. _\\//
I’ve just been on my way to Birmingham from manchester and passed 2 coaches with curtains shut with a convoy of police and ambulances. Don’t know where they were going but It’s here also at stepping hill hospital in Stockport people were seen in white suits today. Also nothing about it on the news
A beaurocrat says "we're well prepared" while a scientist says "it's like trying to fight the wind"
It's funny you say that because it essentially is - it's a confirmed airborne virus so it is in a sense, "fighting the wind"
Xi.Anais that is why he said it... 🤦♂️
if you or I were bureaucrats we would fall in line, it's easy to say the right thing from the outside but when you are in the middle of it its a different reality. The bureaucrats have to weigh so many things before the bullshitting takes place. Its not an excuse, theres not a lot of us that have the courage until we are outside that system
Thank you Dr. Campbell.
Good morning from fellow medic downunder. Love the last part. NHS well prepared indeed. Well it seems there's a lot of denial going on around and it's going to take a higher death toll than seasonal flu to wake them up! Regarding the Iran severe cases quickly deteriorating, it could be that the patients presenting to hospital for help are already so sick that they are tipping into respiratory distress whilst attending for diagnosis.
Around 40% of infected in Italy are in serious condition. We are all fked up. When there will be no beds in hospital and oxygen 1/4 of population will be wiped out
@@HCforLife1 NOBODY IS WELL PREPARED IN SUCH A SCENARIO...LOSS OF A WHOLE QUARTER OF the population, eh?
Hello fellow aussie. Its just a matter of time and numbers now. This is a car that has gone over the edge. Just waiting on the impact. We're prepping with friends to isolate ourselves on a property. Cause we see where this is leading up to. My son is in korea. I'm begging him to get out. These are troubling times to come. Yet in Australia the people just don't give a damn. FOOLS.
Once again, thank you for bringing reality & facts to the situation. If it's panic they are trying to avoid, they need to realize that the truth will come out and all they will do is make fools of themselves.
Yes and cause even more panic.
Thank you for the continuous effort, Dr Campbell
Modeling experts from the Imperial College London suggests that two-thirds of cases exported from China's mainland have gone undetected. In my small town of 50,000, the store shelves in a major grocery store is emptying in certain long storable items. The word is getting out.
It will be business as usual until the very end. We are all going to get this. God bless you good Doctor. And thank you so very much.
Dr. Campbell, thank you! (Donated $40 USD) Keep doing great work!
WOW 30 in Italy pretty much over night. holy cow. If it's in Italy it's probably all over Europe as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to update us all!
Cruise ship
Current update, 50+ had already tested positive in Italy.
It's called lag time so other countries will now start seeing spike in numbers, they told us this would happen. Wuhan are now at there peak high of infection, thanks to the efforts of people not coming in close contact and disinfecting the area.
now 56
