I don’t think the doctor is advocating freezing to death in our homes, you commentators who are bashing him. He means do the best you can to improve ventilation in your individual circumstances, if you have people who mix with others outside your home. Germans also live in a very cold country and they use shock ventilation - just opening up things for a few minutes a couple of times an hour. It’s not impossible.
This is the problem with modern debate discourse, so many folks assume absolutely binary positions. No nuance is considered. My ventilation has gone from excellent all year to not so good the last few weeks, I think this is where most will fall to be honest. I also understand that this is what John was really getting at, we are all doing the natural thing of burrowing down for winter, just that this year, it's not the greatest of ideas. The biggest changes for me for me is that all internal doors have gone from being left open regularly to being closed regularly and windows have gone form all being open several inches to just one or two cracked a open a bit. I am very concious of this and try to get some venting when it's not too cold or windy or battering down with rain (I love you England, my cold, wet, miserable rose) Multi-occupancy households with small budgets for heating etc will be the worst effected by this IMO. It must be quite worrying for some.
John, I watch national news agencies struggle to cover everything about this virus and it's effects around the world, for a one man band, you are doing a damn good job, and have been for the best part of a year now. This channel is still my number one information source/destination in these weird times. Thank you as always.
I took a Uber drive the other day and the driver asked if it was okay to keep the windows open. I said of course it’s okay He said that some other customers would complain about it later That sucks People should understand the importance of ventilation
He should have a vinyl sheet separating him from the passenger. If I travel in a car with open windows for more than 10 minutes, my sinus problem will kill me :(((
When we were stationed in Germany , I noticed that in the mornings people would open there windows. I was told it was to ventilate . That it was a custom to prevent colds. So we also started doing that and now back in the US have kept up the practice and don't get colds anymore
We do it in France, only because where we live there is Radon, so we are encouraged to open windows in the morning to disperse the Radon. I hate getting rid of all that cosy warmth but has to be done.
That might prevent getting a cold from another person living in your household but most people get a cold from other people in public, by cough, sneeze or touching an infected surface and touching the mouth/eyes/nose, same as COVID and most viruses.
I do this too - it was an old custom in the North of England but died out now, probably since central heating became universal. We used to turn back the sheets & blankets - open up the bedding - open windows, have a quick breakfast, then close them & make the bed. Not only did we ventilate the room, but cooling down the bed would deter house dust mites.

@@greydoe I think people are very smart, but the news is 95% hype and we have no national strategy, or even a national monitoring program. The net result for the population is a deluge of distraction and a starvation of scientific analysis. Anyone who is adding and subtracting successfully is doing better than the media, the president, or my governor.
Padraig Tomas Also hospitals had a sunroom on each floor for convalescing patients. But now they send you home ASAP for faster recovery because hospitals are so full of germs.
@Will Thomson Right on! Thanks for the comment. (I take a half shot of apple cider vinegar straight up to the back of the throat every morning. I try to keep it off my teeth. Works great for me - for years now.)
I'm a Paramedic working for an NHS Trust in the UK. All hell broke loose the other day, just because I opened a couple of windows in our crew room at the ambulance station where I'm based. Several staff members complained, and shut the windows again. I explained about the importance of ventilation in reducing viral load, but I was still overruled. I then suggested that, perhaps, I could turn the extractor fan on, and at this point one of my colleagues stormed out of the crew room, calling me a f*****g a***hole. This is the crew room of a very busy frontline ambulance station. I reckon at least 100 different members of staff use this facility in a 24 hour period. The worrying thing is, we are constantly going out to people with Covid symptoms, and there are quite often 15-20 members of staff in the crew room at any one time, even though there are not supposed to be more than 9.
That’s crazy! Don’t they understand about how Covid spreads and hangs in the air? You’d think they’d know better, given a 100 people use that room in a given day and with possible contact with Covid patient’s no less. Unreal. It’s so frustrating when you’re the one who understands the need and you’re trying to educate and help everyone and they’re the ones gaslighting you. Keep safe!
Dr. John, could we have an update regarding the Care Home in England where the staff volunteered to stay and live with the patients? Thanks for your consideration and all your steadfast reporting. Suzanne
The carers in the care home in England they all went back to their Families when the virus numbers went down in June it showed them all having emotional meet up again on the BBC Breakfast News
See where are these videos on social media.. Its all fear mongering conspiracy nonsense all I see on there.. If more videos like this went out maybe more people would actually stop being retards and actually start researching and following the science around Covid instead of believing what the social media puppet has to say.. Its actually triggering watching society crumble into these dense human beings that wanna make any excuse out there not to believe the real shit that's going on out there..
I fear for these trends.. I worked in college housing for many years. December was always Sick Time when students had gone home for Thanksgiving, socialized with high school friends who had been studying all over the country. They returned, got their dorm mates sick. Finals week had me shepherding many to health services and emailing deans about the possibility of taking incomplete and making up finals later.
Hello Dr John Love your enthusiasm and gentlemanly demeanor Your patience with people’s “ idiocy “ is noteworthy There are too many hidden gatherings Our neighbors have had “ NFL Parties “ There are too many people who find wearing masks an infringement on “ their liberty “ which is unbelievably selfish There are too many people who wear masks below their nose and in some cases below their mouth too How stupid is North America, people need to get mad at this virus and not others people actions and demands on our personal responsibility It is very hard not to judge and most people do what they need to so we can finish this virus and bury it Most people do the best thing for others or we would be at 1 Million deaths already I’m afraid so my hats off to people caring for me as I care for them Thank God most people do what needs to be done I appreciate you

@Dr. John Campbell Does your positive response to Dean Mushtuk mean you support herd immunity? If so, does that mean people should go about business as usual (no masks, open all businesses and schools without mitigation, etc) or...? It’s all very confusing. Several countries have tamped down the virus through their mitigation practices. Is herd immunity the only viable option for countries that missed the early pandemic window?
@@charlie3134 I’m hoping he didn’t read the whole of that spammers comment before responding. Because that’s not his position regarding herd immunity from all the vid he’s posted that I’ve watched.
I've seen people street partying and I've also seen people gathering outside of bars after 10pm. Also, when I was driving, I saw kids dancing about together. And even one of my friends said "Well, kids are kids" - Well, guess what? Coronavirus doesn't care about kids, it'll go ahead and infect them.
John describes the typical male systems of a heart attack with the chest pain neglecting to mention the typical female systems of nausea and vomiting and cold sweats. Sometimes men get the same. That was the case with me..... I thought I had food poisoning.... Thanks to an angioplasty I'm still kicking. That was 40 years ago. My age? ....... 82
My windows upstairs have been open all day and all night since March - I knew ventilation was such an important factor and I would rather have the windows open and the heating on than sit in a non ventilated house.
This is the main worry for teaching staff. On the front line so to speak, stuck in one classroom with hourly year student changes equals one teacher being exposed to 5 hourly classes of 30+ students, without PPE, Covid testing or sufficient ventilation. 150 chances to get 'it' a day..... and then after work to come home to their families, in our case my husband comes home to me, I care for my 90 year old mother, our daughter who has a neuropathy and weaken immune system and our son who is currently suffering with a vestibular disorder and on medication. The government seem to want to skim over the fact that 16+ are main asymptotic spreaders. Educate in school and university at all costs. Front line fodder.
Hello Dr. John. Liz here from South Africa. We have heard so much lately on the US and UK and not much else from anywhere else. And it's been ages since you did an update on South Africa and that would be very much appreciated. Just by the way I have been watching the trees outside your window and noticing the change in colours. Greetings from us here.
Dr. John, here is something scary to submit to you although you have mentioned all along that you suspect that the numbers of infected people are higher. I have a female friend in her mid-50s, low income with COPD and now COVID-19 infected who lives with her mom and dad who are now also sick too. However, her mom and dad will not get tested for they fear they will be hospitalized and go further in debt. This is probably a common situation in the Midwest (her family lives in a poorer area of western Kentucky). My friend, T.J. has been tested and COVID positive, so it's almost certain her parents have it too. If the ratio of one in three are tested, well, you can see how much more serious the pandemic is than the numbers indicate. Robert in NC.
Yes. Thus, there are only two ways to estimate prevalence: test everyone, or do a random sample. . Random sample studies are cheap and easy. We need to demand that our states and countries do them regularly.
Thanks Dr. Campbell. I find your reports to be informative, without political bias, and very thoughtful with regard to the data you are reviewing. Your approach is serious and I must say refreshing! Blessings.

Update. Majority of people cant be bothered to wear a mask or just generally be respectful of others with regards social distancing and it is pissing me off 😡
I’ve been listening to you every day since January, thank you for everything you teach us. My whole family are on Vit D thanks to you. And we’re taking every precaution from what we’ve learnt here. You are a true hero. Thank you❤️. From Hayley in San Diego
Modern school buildings w aircon, windows fixed shut. When aircon breaks down, zero ventilation (and working aircon not that healthy either!). All day, no airflow, lingering virus. Your talk says it all.
My partner a teacher has all the windows open and has done from the start it’s part of the government guidelines and children are told to layer up. Some teachers closed the doors and windows as they were cold then contracted covid19 so it’s definitely a no brainier. Aircon is also disabled at government guidelines
My daughter is a Primary teacher and she says her classroom windows are open! It's colder but she understands the need. Her headmistress will have instigated it.
I can't see people turning the central heating on and leaving doors and windows open then turning the central heating up to compensate the heat loss , thus increasing the cost of gas usage when people struggling financially as it is !
@@andrewlilley3660 - Ren Webb and you. What is wrong with you people? I know some of you are actually sock puppet accounts run by "social media companies" (my friend works in that) bought and paid for, but increasingly more real people are falling for the shill accounts and the nonsense insane narrative being pushed by (let's say) certain vested interests. That you assume people swallow everything this youtuber says uncritically, exposes your own relationship with RUclipsrs YOU watch and like. You accept uncritically those shill accounts, bought and paid for by people who don't have your best interests at heart. If you're a real person (not sock puppet account) you're what's called a useful idiot. The Great Barrington Declaration was bought and paid for by the Koch brothers. The insane attitude to this pandemic "don't wear face masks" "don't social distance", and the rest, is prolonging the pandemic and worsening it and costing your countries' economies more and causing more long term damage to your country's health and more deaths. World war 3 isn't nuclear, it's economic and economic power and strengh, fought with influence on people's minds, your minds. If you're not sock puppets, you may as well be, for the way you've swallowed the propaganda put out by shill RUclipsrs and others(who are getting well paid to put their narrative out by the way). It's a pandemic. Pandemics happen sometimes. Even with the seasonal flu in the UK, hospitals have to declare "critical incident" status. Look up what that means. Look up real stastitics freely available if you'd ever research for yourself instead of swallowing uncritically everything put out by the shills. Political mismanagement of the pandemic is a given, but your abject denial of common sense and reasonable measures is criminal. You've clearly been fooled, but you're not fooling anyone else.
5280 cases total with 105 fatalities in HK. I live here in this city for now 28 years. I can't believe there has not been more cases and fatalities but in hk the people are so past aware by the initial sars outbreak back in 2003 or there abouts that social distancing discipline really does work.
France 40 000 covid cases for 23 October 2020 in just one day. I cant believe we have got this bad after lockdowns, curfews, mask wearing etc. What is ten times worse than the illness is the economic loss, bankruptcies, suicides and not least huge fines for non compliance with draconian measures. In a word or three: out of control
I don't hear any public communication channels talking about personal efforts to ventilate. Just masks and social distancing and how people are protesting it. Ventilating isn't a trending term. I live in Michigan - the Johns Hopkins site is showing more new cases now than at the start - but there is more testing so this shouldn't be a surprise. At the start, most tests were those needing hospitalization, so the death to case ratio was high. I won't know if it's actually worse than before until the current deaths rise. But even then, there seem to be fewer deaths now because of mask use (less viral load).
Another thing is that quite a few cases could have gone noticed and people only started to seek help when they were quite ill. I think that there were cased in late January onward. But as there was no testing then, they didn't catch them early enough.
@@mysteryteacher9 Definitely true. In California, doctors were telling their patients in January that there's a weird virus going around, but no one knew what it was. I wonder if they'd heard something but didn't wanna panic their patients.

I forgot one other thing, everyone is an expert on everything today, or to quote an ancient expression, "Wise in their own eyes". No one is ever wrong, and no one ever says "I don't know". I tuned out just about every blog and commentator I've ever listened to this year after they were all biology and epidemiological experts (who were all wrong). Except for one I hear.
It is sad to see the truth of our situations around the world. Leaders are absent from their duty to the citizens. However, my family respects and is grateful for your due diligence on this pandemic. Your inspiration guides me throughout the day.
The CDC report about the Vermont prison officer seems to have significant implications for “essential workers” in grocery stores and retail settings, especially in places were many people are refusing to wear masks.
Thank you so much for your information and your unfailing dedication to educate and inform us of not only what is really going on in the world but how we personally can help by our actions. I always feel better after watching your daily videos. You are an amazing teacher!
I know a neurologist here in the United States who is on call in two hospitals. I have been hearing stories from him since the beginning of this insanity. Prior to covid he would see one or two drug overdose cases per week. Now he is seeing 10 or more a week. He also reports that people are NOT coming to the hospital until their symptoms are soooo terrible that they are willing to risk it. This is creating much more stress on the healthcare providers and of course not good for the patients to wait instead of seeking out care.
Hearing the same thing from my home health nurses, deaths and permanent damage because people are too scared to go to the hospital. It's not being handled very well. I don't understand the obsession with cases as if it's death, it is not. Especially when you're dealing with inaccurate testing and deaths that are not REAL covid deaths, why are they being counted as so if you have an accident and just happen to have covid? Seems to me this would only muddy the waters. My family had it, literally thought it was a death sentence due to the media; my little brother was vomiting at the testing center he was so scared and his anxiety was through the roof. Soiled masks are being littered everywhere and aren't being used appropriately either, surgical masks are not meant for the long term like many people are using them. Masks can be harmful as well when not used correctly such as with longer use and activity. The lockdowns are not worth it as collateral damage increases. Australia is looking really bad with their tyrannical control, doesn't seem to be about safety anymore...
I'm concerned about my daughter and son flying home from out of state schools at the end of November. My 22 yr old will be coming from Alabama where rates are high. Will ask her to get a negative test result before she gets on a plane. I will ask my son to do the same, although he is getting tested regularly by his school in New Hampshire (which has had a 100% negative rate). My husband and I are over 60. I imagine infection rates will increase everywhere with students coming home and people wanting to visit relatives over the holidays.
My mother in law's dementia got worse during lockdown because of lack of social activity. Post lockdown she has been back on day centre visits 2 days a week and her dementia is much improved.
This "planned" Covid Crisis is an attack on Christianity, free speech, and human rights...it's not about health...its about an organized reset in world politics to establish Marxism as the only system to govern the worlds populations. It's working at the moment.
I don't think it's "not admitting". Students don't want online courses, so universities open up, crossing their fingers for students' common sense and mature acceptance of new regulations. At some places, it works, others it doesn't. In the eastern US, it looks like one possibility is to remain online after Thanksgiving, since many students will be going home then, possibly bringing back virus. And next semester, schools are likely to go back one week latet and skip spring break completely, to discourage travel and possible increase in outbreaks.
Thanks for another informative video, you are my go-to source for all things Covid related. You have a lovely calm voice, I bet you were a great comfort to patients, in your nursing days. If I was seriously ill in hospital, I would be comforted by such a calming presence.
Damn cold today here in Scotland, windows will be staying closed at home but we don't allow others in our house. I assume there is no data on Scotland?
There’s excellent data from the govscot site, it shows the Covid status in different neighbourhoods in a city, so I can look up my Scottish city, then the area where I live, it tells me how many people live in that area and how many have been diagnosed with Covid 19. Really handy webpage. Go Scot sent the link through to me as I’ve been shielding. I’ll try posting the link.
I work in a college and we’ve got doors and windows open in the classrooms so good ventilation (plus high level of mask wearing and distancing) It’s not perfect but doing our best.
I'm so very glad to live alone. I can keep my windows closed or open, regardless, whatever is comfortable. Had COVID in mid September, recovered, still basking in presumed short term immunity. A hermit never had it so good.
Didn't mean to comment without praising your everyday efforts, referencing studies, and generally helping follow the pandemic around the world. So worth watching your videos every day! Be sure to take breaks, however, when you need a rest!
I installed a Mechanical Ventilator and Heat Recovery device into my home when I remodelled, worth every penny, fresh air without loosing all your heat!
I live in MN and all the schools are open with a hybrid distance / in-classroom a few days a week. It snowed 6'" two days ago and in the winter time we can reach well below zero Fahrenheit, it's pretty hard to open a window in temps like that.
Dear Dr Campbell, Thank you for your channel. I know I speak for many, many people who follow your videocasts when I say, because of your thoughtful and extensive research, I have followed your advice to the letter, and I open the doors in my appartment building as often as I can. It must be said someone always closes the door. In the city I live in there is a new lockdown being discussed as cases begin to spike again. In next door Italy, cases are once more climbing. Can any of us who have lived any substantial amount of time ever remember life becoming like it is? All I know is with the pubs closed I have done everything I can to keep my drinking at a respectable level, but we all know we need the pubs open to keep any decent level of imbibing spirits for extended periods of time. Okay; a bit of humor there. Knowing Dr Campbell is from the North of England, you blokes are the champions of beer guzzling on the planet. It must be hard having the pubs close near you.
Women's heart disease symptoms are not the same as men. Often severe anxiety is our main symptom. That's why women die because we have been told to expect to feel like a man.
I would guess the increased deaths from dementia are due to nursing home residents dying without getting tested early in the pandemic. They had dementia but also had Covid but were never tested because we had such a shortage of testing here early on.
Back in March dementia patients were offered a place in a care home as home care packages were being removed. They were put back around June, so that could have an effect too.
I'm very surprised all these people are dying from dementia. When my mum died with advanced Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia the doctor wrote 'old age' as cause of death and said that was normal practice.
URGENT!!! TO DR JOHN CAMBELL!!! I live in Stockholm, Sweden, and do you know that we have a rather fast increasing of covid now here? AND NO RECOMMENDATION OF FACEMASKS, BESIDES STAFF IN HOSPITALS ETC... I find it very serious that we seem to be the only "western" country to not recommend masks! Have followed you since the start, and I'm very angry about our government and health authorities who do NOT recommend masks!! Please look this up!! And this day also the 70+ years people is now free to go to shops etc!! Very very strange as the figures rises since late summer. Thank you for your very good handling of this pandemic!❤️😉
Hi Dr Campbell, you mentioned that in the US that 67% of deaths are attributed to COVID 19. Based on those deaths what do we know about those people in terms of underlying health conditions that contributed to those deaths?
Thank you for all the effort you put in to inform and educate people. I've been following you since you first started reporting on this virus when it was only on China. I just wish there was better news, as someone with health anxiety my mental health has taken a very bad turn, it's very difficult to wrap my mind around the concept that this will ever end or life will return to some sort of normality - or that I, or my family members might be here to see it.
Take care the best you can and it will end at some stage in one way or another. Seek help if you need to via a friend or a helpline. There are many feeling the same to you so you are not alone.
I think most people who are able to face the reality of COVID-19, which may not be the majority, are having some degree of fatigue and wondering if this will ever end. Hang in there! It will end!!! 🌷🌷🌷
Maybe look around you, engage your common sense and realise that this virus is not the threat we’ve been led to believe.... I know what it’s like to suffer from anxiety. I wish you peace of mind my friend 👍🙂
It's not about the virus, it's about the host!! It's not about masks or distancing or ventilation, it's about the host!! It's about building your immune response, keeping it strong. It's not about the virus. Viruses can't be cured or avoided! Teach people how to build their immune response and not fear viruses!
My son attempted to help someone who had a fatal heart attack at his place of work 5 days later he had Covid19 symptoms. How many deaths put down to heart attacks may have their cause from undiagnosed Covid19 I wonder? Alzheimer’s can have several causes sometimes it’s vascular again if person has had seemingly mild Covid19 which they apparently recovered from maybe their cardio /vascular system taken damage...possibility anyway
Nonsense, most modern buildings have MVHR (mechanically ventilated and heat recovery) systems that turn the air over much more frequently without loosing all the heat. Architects don't know anything about it, but heating and ventilation engineers certainly do!
I wonder if our high Belgian infection rates have to do with the fact that our healthcare is rather good and affordable. So in other countries where care is harder to get, people are more anxious about their health and take supplements and herbs etc.. Here you have a minority doing that too but there are also many people "macho" about their health. We didn't go travelling a lot to the sun. Our vitamin D levels are probably low. Perhaps the same is going on in Czech. For the rest yes, so many are masked and yet.. the figures keep rising so it gives the impression that the virus hangs in the air and masks can't stop it then.
I’ve not heard the UK scientific advisors/medical officials/government talk about the importance of ventilation in doors. There should be PSA advising this.
I think winter 2020 and spring 2021, are important milestones in human history, wear a mask, protect the vulnerable,and enjoy the history lesson! thanks for the video doctore.
It’s very hard to ventilate when there are so many fires here in Colorado. It’s getting cold at night but daytime is great for opening up and ventilating in a normal year. The smoke is thick in some areas on the front range
My ex would never open doors or windows in her flat, it was so bad it was moulding around doors and windows and even on the walls behind her corner sofa, I begged her to open the windows more often despite spending a whole day cleaning and repainting but she never listened because she was a bit cold. I doubt she would take the advice on something she can't see.
I know several people who've contracted Covid recently. My sister lives in Minnesota and they've had snow already. Here in Las Vegas it's cooling off so we can open our windows.
Excellent, “as always”. Worrying stuff, but reassuring to have someone telling us the facts with clarity and a calm unbiased demeanour. Not wanting to encourage irresponsible drinking, but as I sit here with my wine, I feel like a Dr John drinking game could be in order. Drink every time we hear about statistics with “a delay, as always”, when John pauses mid-sentence in his sign-off, whenever Dr Robert Redfield gets a mention, and the CDC, and Dr Tim Spector. A double every time John talks about Ventilation... Just having a bit of fun, am a great admirer. Thank you.
My grandmother, if alive would be 104, always told me to open my doors and air out the house daily. I've done this for years. In the summer I open up the house in the morning and winter in the afternoon. I'm in the midwest in USA in an area where people are basically following Thrump philosophy. Sadly our local government isn't strick about resturants and bars staying open even though our state has mandatory shut down for these establishments. How's compliance in your area?
Just curious, does the increase in numbers of cases in the USA follow from north to south? People in northern climates have colder temps much earlier ..... and places like Florida cool down only a small amount. So air circulation in ones home along with crowded conditions in the north homes - Covid should be way ahead in cases compared to those in the southern states. Likewise, countries south of the equator should be doing much better currently. To date, I haven't seed this kind of data. So then, if the number of cases don't follow this north to south pattern, how can we say that the second wave is due to lower temps/poor air/crowded areas (etc)? Thanks !
Every cautious trip to the ER costs $1000 to $2000, if they just look at you and nothing more. People are dying in fear of having to sleep in the local dog park--financial ruin, man, from trying so be medically cautious.
"Cases" over and over. I'm tired of the term. Deaths matter much much more. I would like to see the graph of cases per fortnight....and on the same sheet, the graph of the deaths. I bet they diverge substantially as time goes on.
I am also so sick of "cases" that I refuse to watch this and most videos. . Random sample surveys are the only valid way to estimate prevalence. It's time the western world took a look at the concept of statistical inference.
This podcast by Dr Mike Yeadon is the holy grail , pcr false positives etc. He is a bit qualified. Doctor Campbell should listen :www.podbean.com/ew/pb-atukd-efc5d9
Dr Campbell My daughter arrived at Naples airport in Italy few days ago and she along with all passengers off the flight were tested for covid 19. If result is clear she does not need to isolate. WHY is this not being done in the uk, Would save people not having to stay at home and self isolate Once they have the result and clear can carry on and Go to work. In the UK before boarding the flight not even a temperature check was taken. Also every where her in Italy temptetures are taken . The government in the UK need to get a move on and save lives not think of time and money.
1.) Wear masks at indoor public eastablishments 2.) No eating/drinking at indoor public establishments 3.) No (or at least minimal) household mixing 4.) NOTHING ELSE NEEDED
I 100% agree. Assuming EVERYONE does it, that would be enough to squash this thing. Trouble is we've got so many flat earther types (e.g. Trump voters) who refuse to take any precaution.
@@None17555 I couldn't agree with you more. But you only have to read some of the posts on this channel and others, that we are ploughing a lone furrow.
I’m in northern Ontario, Canada. I would love to ventilate my home more but we already have snow on the ground and today’s high is 4. In the winter it gets below -40. We simply can’t open our windows all year long. I’m lucky I live in an old house that is “leaky” but cross ventilation is going to be impossible for the next 7 months.
Its just a blast of air for a min or two, doesn't need to be every room all at once or for hours at a time. It's worth losing a bit of heat! Do this myself twice per day, as well as general chores, cleaning, etc
Thanks. You said it perfectly. People, from places with moderate weather, don't seem to understand the cold. Opening a window is stupid when it's -20° outside. 🇨🇦
Yup! Our per capita numbers maybe aren't so bad, but it's mostly simpsons paradox. The hotspots are rolling around and now they're to a region that is filled with anti-vax flat earther types, central Wisconsin. It won't slow down there. Time to vote Trump out.
@@dryheave5412 but if we didn’t test them they would still have Covid even if there were no tests. If I don’t take a pregnancy test and I am pregnant, does that mean I am not pregnant?
YES! OPEN THE WINDOWS WHERE POSSIBLE! I AGREE WITH YOU Dr. John Campbell and in class on Wednesday I had to remind everyone! I was rather annoyed that people are quite happy to sit in a stale air room! Great work Dr Campbell. You are a legend.
Is it possible that South Dakota's spikes are related to Sturgis. We have a mad as a hatter President holding huge rallies with lotsa cheering and screaming and no distancing or masks. He seems to be the spreader in chief.
Opening windows and doors is sometimes not possible in many 'modern' buildings in the US with fixed windows that don't open. Schools and office buildings and most stores.
It is about energy savings as well. The better the insulation the cheaper it is to heat, but particularly cool. Yes because most systems include air conditioning. Many newer systems have filtration but it can be an expensive retrofit to a lot of vacant offices and classroom. Used to be homes in the South didn't have much for heat but they were cool.
@@rodwallace6237 doesn't matter why. My point was that the situation helps the virus to spread by not allowing fresh outside air, so recirculating the vorus.
I had my usual 6mo ck up at my Drs office this morning....sat there for an hr waiting as multiple pple came in. They had the seats spread out but that didnt ease my tensions one bit! They had the heat on and anyone wearing a surgical mask understands how hot a person gets while wearing one of these! It was nearly unbearable and of course being stressed and overheated while being anxious about being there to begin with...yeup my BP was thru the roof! Idk why they had it so hot in there and no air was moving...so if i end up w covid??? I'll know EXACTLY where i got it from!!!
@Micaela Jones wasnt an option as my Dr ordered labs...which honestly could have been done 10days ago and i asked to go in and get the labs done before my aptmnt so i could televisit...but again...they wouldn't do it 😣😣😣
That’s terrible what you went through. I’m so sorry you went through that and I pray that you do not get the virus. Your doctor should know better than to do that to his/her patients. Here, they do tele-visits and will order labs beforehand. Also, if you need to go in, they won’t allow anyone to wait in the waiting room. You arrive just at the time of your visit and not beforehand, you get in and you get out. NOBODY is allowed to wait in the waiting room! Also, they do this at my local VET CLINIC too. In fact when you bring your pet in to the vet you must explain about the pet ON THE PHONE and when you bring your pet in we humans aren’t allowed in the clinic ONLY our pet is allowed. We’re not messing around here in Ontario, Canada. Your doctor should be fined for putting you all at risk!

Thanks, John, as always. Once again, you are quite welcome in my home today. => The number of “collateral damage” deaths may be higher than reported, as this Wuhan, Hubei, China originated COVID-19 disease may well have produced an early death for some who would have died in the current reporting time, so the 67% current excess deaths may be overstated as if 10% of those who would have died this reporting period were already dead of COVID-19, the “collateral damage” cases would fill up this 10% reduction in expected cases before starting with excess deaths. In this case, there would be a 9% decrease in the rate for direct COVID-19 causing excess deaths - down to 58%, leaving 41% “collateral damage” deaths. It doesn’t change conclusions and I don’t know if the 10% example is even close to being right, but one can know that the reported “collateral damage” rate is an underestimate. => Thanks for reviewing the symptoms for heart attacks. This will save any number of cases. => One hopes that the increased dementia deaths isn’t due to decreased patient care. => I appreciate the discussion of ventilation - If one won’t open the doors and windows, a fan blowing inside a closed room may well stop the suspension of small particles in the air. => You are, of course, correct that the CDC’s rules are simplistic, but most people have little knowledge and perhaps less inclination to follow rules that have a large degree of impact on themselves or which seem overly stringent. The 15 minutes seems to be operational and allow a good deal of minor interaction, whilst encouraging minimizing the duration of minor interactions. It may also be based on data, such as the US prison guard data. => At least most rules and models are simplistic, such as the herd immunity model’s assumption of equal interaction of all members of a population. One thing many do is add a correction factor for the leap from math models to the real world. For example, are the found infection rates before diseases die out 1.2 or 1.5 times higher or lower than that predicted in the math models? It would be good to have some idea of how closely these infectious models are to reality. => Many of us are delighted to see your face, hear your voice and receive your thoughts as you proceed with your valuable work. Thanks again, John.
Do you have forced air heat? If so turn up the heat causing more air flow. I also wonder what happens as the air heats up and circulates it also becomes less humid so fewer droplets or at least less time in the air. Replace your furnace filter more often.
If it dips so far so as to -40 C, the area is probably rather sparsely populated in the first place. Maybe ventilation isn't that much of a problem. They might huddle at home together in their social bubbles.
John, when are you going to discuss the issues surrounding current testing methodology? The defining of UK policy based on a PCR test that is qualitative and not quantitative. In detecting specific viral RNA it does not indicate a level of live 2019-nCoV virus. NHS England doesn't require an upper limit on CT threshold, just rudimentary checks for assays with ct >=40. (1) A median CT of 28-30 (2) should be the max used to pick up those in the acute infectious phase where viral load is highest. The current gold standard recommendation is a CT >= 37 (3, 4). Indeed CT values of >=33 have shown to be predomently dead viral fragments with no culture of virus possible (5) . These CT recommendations were presented at the peak of the pandemic (03/20 - 05/20) when the tests where first created and don't take into account the knowledge from 6 months of study by epidemiologists. Prologed shedding of viral detritus post the acute infectious stage, generally though to be 5-7 days, risks attributing a positive PCR result a vast number of non-infectious patients and giving a significant overestimation of both the current R0 and spread. It's just astonishingly bad. Millions are at risk of being quarantined when they don't need to, and track and trace chasing those who aren't infectious and havent been for weeks. In addition the recommendation to not test asymptomatic persons (5) is clearly not being applied wasting resources and potentially skewing results. It's clear at this point in the pandemic as we go into autumn/winter in the northern hemisphere, particularly as Pillar2 testing in the UK is ramped up, that a wholescale review of the testing protocol is needed and a more targetted approach required. It's the view proposed by a significant proportion of the scientific community.

Other riders may not like it here as things get toward freezing, but if you're going to ride public trans, it's worth finding some N95 masks. If someone is wearing an N95 mask (which is intolerable over a full day if it's not absolutely required, but you can deal with it on a bus ride), it's really unlikely to be able to breathe enough virus to catch it. Has to be fitted though. I am also a bus rider. The bus ridership is pretty sparse now, and I've been working from home, but have n95s for when we ultimately go back to work (not going to pay $16 a day to park when a mask is a fraction of that!!).
Dr. Campbell, please make a video update regarding airplane travel and its relation with Covid infection. What is the data showing so far about this topic?.
@@annoyedaussie3942 I saw the Osterholm ep 26 and pretty much doing airplane travel is just playing russian roulette at this point. I know of two people that traveled in airplane and nothing happened but that was just luck. Do you know of one that took a plane recently?.
@@its_me_dave You know they don't always transport a body in a hearse? A lot of the time the vehicle would look a lot like a Transit, indistinguishable from any other.
About three million people die every year in the USA. 700 per day would be about 250,000 in a year and there’s undoubtedly some overlap. But then there are also those who are being killed by reduced medical care and other secondary effects of the pandemic.
I don’t think the doctor is advocating freezing to death in our homes, you commentators who are bashing him. He means do the best you can to improve ventilation in your individual circumstances, if you have people who mix with others outside your home. Germans also live in a very cold country and they use shock ventilation - just opening up things for a few minutes a couple of times an hour. It’s not impossible.
Thank you Kimberly
i have an invented gas fireplace, so i open and shut the door couple times a day.
If your on your own and don't have covid-19 it's best to lock the doors, stay warm and well till it gone in 3 years. 👍
@@mopip42mp OH there are plenty planning on doing just that believe me!
This is the problem with modern debate discourse, so many folks assume absolutely binary positions. No nuance is considered.
My ventilation has gone from excellent all year to not so good the last few weeks, I think this is where most will fall to be honest. I also understand that this is what John was really getting at, we are all doing the natural thing of burrowing down for winter, just that this year, it's not the greatest of ideas.
The biggest changes for me for me is that all internal doors have gone from being left open regularly to being closed regularly and windows have gone form all being open several inches to just one or two cracked a open a bit. I am very concious of this and try to get some venting when it's not too cold or windy or battering down with rain (I love you England, my cold, wet, miserable rose)
Multi-occupancy households with small budgets for heating etc will be the worst effected by this IMO. It must be quite worrying for some.
John, I watch national news agencies struggle to cover everything about this virus and it's effects around the world, for a one man band, you are doing a damn good job, and have been for the best part of a year now.
This channel is still my number one information source/destination in these weird times. Thank you as always.
I took a Uber drive the other day and the driver asked if it was okay to keep the windows open.
I said of course it’s okay
He said that some other customers would complain about it later
That sucks
People should understand the importance of ventilation
Yes, a clear case of where ventilation is almost obligatory even to the point of discomfort during the journey.
It specifically states on the Uber app that windows will be down for ventilation.
He should have a vinyl sheet separating him from the passenger. If I travel in a car with open windows for more than 10 minutes, my sinus problem will kill me :(((
When we were stationed in Germany , I noticed that in the mornings people would open there windows. I was told it was to ventilate . That it was a custom to prevent colds. So we also started doing that and now back in the US have kept up the practice and don't get colds anymore
We do it in France, only because where we live there is Radon, so we are encouraged to open windows in the morning to disperse the Radon. I hate getting rid of all that cosy warmth but has to be done.
My Granny always did that. Windows open, air the house. She rarely got sick. She also took cod liver oil daily.
That might prevent getting a cold from another person living in your household but most people get a cold from other people in public, by cough, sneeze or touching an infected surface and touching the mouth/eyes/nose, same as COVID and most viruses.
It's normal in The Netherlands, too, but not for colds but for releasing the toxins (CO2?) that builds up in the night
I do this too - it was an old custom in the North of England but died out now, probably since central heating became universal. We used to turn back the sheets & blankets - open up the bedding - open windows, have a quick breakfast, then close them & make the bed. Not only did we ventilate the room, but cooling down the bed would deter house dust mites.
Yes, better ventilation is a must. I also do not understand why our Government does not promote the use of Vitamin D3 more. It's unreal.
Exactly www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3563
Vitamin D is free from the sun. Up to date Ventilation systems cost however. Social distancing is the number one prevention still.

A very old treatment for illnesses- fresh air and sunshine.
Many older hospitals were designed with an eye towards ventilation and natural lighting with the use of windows that could be opened.
Padraig Tomas Also hospitals had a sunroom on each floor for convalescing patients. But now they send you home ASAP for faster recovery because hospitals are so full of germs.
@Will Thomson Right on! Thanks for the comment. (I take a half shot of apple cider vinegar straight up to the back of the throat every morning. I try to keep it off my teeth. Works great for me - for years now.)

@@padraigtomas3617 that's so they could kill them off quicker!
I'm a Paramedic working for an NHS Trust in the UK. All hell broke loose the other day, just because I opened a couple of windows in our crew room at the ambulance station where I'm based. Several staff members complained, and shut the windows again. I explained about the importance of ventilation in reducing viral load, but I was still overruled. I then suggested that, perhaps, I could turn the extractor fan on, and at this point one of my colleagues stormed out of the crew room, calling me a f*****g a***hole. This is the crew room of a very busy frontline ambulance station. I reckon at least 100 different members of staff use this facility in a 24 hour period. The worrying thing is, we are constantly going out to people with Covid symptoms, and there are quite often 15-20 members of staff in the crew room at any one time, even though there are not supposed to be more than 9.
That’s crazy! Don’t they understand about how Covid spreads and hangs in the air? You’d think they’d know better, given a 100 people use that room in a given day and with possible contact with Covid patient’s no less. Unreal. It’s so frustrating when you’re the one who understands the need and you’re trying to educate and help everyone and they’re the ones gaslighting you. Keep safe!
That is truly insane, mind you with the NHS telling the public to wear face coverings its a sign of the times, dangerous idiocy
Dr. John, could we have an update regarding the Care Home in England where the staff volunteered to stay and live with the patients? Thanks for your consideration and all your steadfast reporting. Suzanne

Hello Dr John
Love your enthusiasm and gentlemanly demeanor
Your patience with people’s “ idiocy “ is noteworthy
There are too many hidden gatherings
Our neighbors have had “ NFL Parties “
There are too many people who find wearing masks an infringement on
“ their liberty “ which is unbelievably selfish
There are too many people who wear masks below their nose and in some cases below their mouth too
How stupid is North America, people need to get mad at this virus and not others people actions and demands on our personal responsibility
It is very hard not to judge and most people do what they need to so we can finish this virus and bury it
Most people do the best thing for others or we would be at 1 Million deaths already I’m afraid so my hats off to people caring for me as I care for them
Thank God most people do what needs to be done

@Dr. John Campbell Does your positive response to Dean Mushtuk mean you support herd immunity? If so, does that mean people should go about business as usual (no masks, open all businesses and schools without mitigation, etc) or...? It’s all very confusing. Several countries have tamped down the virus through their mitigation practices. Is herd immunity the only viable option for countries that missed the early pandemic window?
@@charlie3134 I’m hoping he didn’t read the whole of that spammers comment before responding. Because that’s not his position regarding herd immunity from all the vid he’s posted that I’ve watched.
I've seen people street partying and I've also seen people gathering outside of bars after 10pm.
Also, when I was driving, I saw kids dancing about together. And even one of my friends said "Well, kids are kids" - Well, guess what? Coronavirus doesn't care about kids, it'll go ahead and infect them.
@Dr. John Campbell You disagree, I welcome your input. I'm not sure what your expertise is in, mine is in virology and I'm very open to discussion.
John describes the typical male systems of a heart attack with the chest pain neglecting to mention the typical female systems of nausea and vomiting and cold sweats. Sometimes men get the same. That was the case with me..... I thought I had food poisoning.... Thanks to an angioplasty I'm still kicking. That was 40 years ago. My age? ....... 82

This is the main worry for teaching staff. On the front line so to speak, stuck in one classroom with hourly year student changes equals one teacher being exposed to 5 hourly classes of 30+ students, without PPE, Covid testing or sufficient ventilation. 150 chances to get 'it' a day..... and then after work to come home to their families, in our case my husband comes home to me, I care for my 90 year old mother, our daughter who has a neuropathy and weaken immune system and our son who is currently suffering with a vestibular disorder and on medication.

Hello Dr. John. Liz here from South Africa. We have heard so much lately on the US and UK and not much else from anywhere else. And it's been ages since you did an update on South Africa and that would be very much appreciated. Just by the way I have been watching the trees outside your window and noticing the change in colours. Greetings from us here.
Dr. John, here is something scary to submit to you although you have mentioned all along that you suspect that the numbers of infected people are higher. I have a female friend in her mid-50s, low income with COPD and now COVID-19 infected who lives with her mom and dad who are now also sick too. However, her mom and dad will not get tested for they fear they will be hospitalized and go further in debt. This is probably a common situation in the Midwest (her family lives in a poorer area of western Kentucky). My friend, T.J. has been tested and COVID positive, so it's almost certain her parents have it too. If the ratio of one in three are tested, well, you can see how much more serious the pandemic is than the numbers indicate. Robert in NC.
Wishing your friend and her family well.
Yes. Thus, there are only two ways to estimate prevalence: test everyone, or do a random sample.
.
Random sample studies are cheap and easy. We need to demand that our states and countries do them regularly.
Thanks Dr. Campbell. I find your reports to be informative, without political bias, and very thoughtful with regard to the data you are reviewing. Your approach is serious and I must say refreshing! Blessings.

Treating people who are NOT SICK by forcing them to ACT SICK (e.g. wearing masks, (anti)social-distancing and staying home) is a MENTAL ILLNESS known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. This syndrome is a condition where a caregiver (these are the con-artists/professional liars in the idiot box/T.V.) fabricates, exaggerates or induces mental or physical health problems in those who are in their ‘’care’’, with the primary motive of gaining attention or sympathy from others. ‘’Caregivers’’ have been given prison sentences for misterating children and adults in this manner.

I don't think school leaders have had the ventilation message pushed enough.
Modern school buildings w aircon, windows fixed shut. When aircon breaks down, zero ventilation (and working aircon not that healthy either!). All day, no airflow, lingering virus. Your talk says it all.
They don't really need it
My partner a teacher has all the windows open and has done from the start it’s part of the government guidelines and children are told to layer up. Some teachers closed the doors and windows as they were cold then contracted covid19 so it’s definitely a no brainier. Aircon is also disabled at government guidelines
My daughter is a Primary teacher and she says her classroom windows are open! It's colder but she understands the need. Her headmistress will have instigated it.
Most modern school buildings have windows that don’t open. It’s awful.
I can't see people turning the central heating on and leaving doors and windows open then turning the central heating up to compensate the heat loss , thus increasing the cost of gas usage when people struggling financially as it is !

I know some of you are actually sock puppet accounts run by "social media companies" (my friend works in that) bought and paid for, but increasingly more real people are falling for the shill accounts and the nonsense insane narrative being pushed by (let's say) certain vested interests. That you assume people swallow everything this youtuber says uncritically, exposes your own relationship with RUclipsrs YOU watch and like. You accept uncritically those shill accounts, bought and paid for by people who don't have your best interests at heart. If you're a real person (not sock puppet account) you're what's called a useful idiot. The Great Barrington Declaration was bought and paid for by the Koch brothers. The insane attitude to this pandemic "don't wear face masks" "don't social distance", and the rest, is prolonging the pandemic and worsening it and costing your countries' economies more and causing more long term damage to your country's health and more deaths. World war 3 isn't nuclear, it's economic and economic power and strengh, fought with influence on people's minds, your minds. If you're not sock puppets, you may as well be, for the way you've swallowed the propaganda put out by shill RUclipsrs and others(who are getting well paid to put their narrative out by the way). It's a pandemic. Pandemics happen sometimes. Even with the seasonal flu in the UK, hospitals have to declare "critical incident" status. Look up what that means. Look up real stastitics freely available if you'd ever research for yourself instead of swallowing uncritically everything put out by the shills. Political mismanagement of the pandemic is a given, but your abject denial of common sense and reasonable measures is criminal. You've clearly been fooled, but you're not fooling anyone else.

@Dr. John Campbell 😻
I don't hear any public communication channels talking about personal efforts to ventilate. Just masks and social distancing and how people are protesting it. Ventilating isn't a trending term.
I live in Michigan - the Johns Hopkins site is showing more new cases now than at the start - but there is more testing so this shouldn't be a surprise. At the start, most tests were those needing hospitalization, so the death to case ratio was high. I won't know if it's actually worse than before until the current deaths rise. But even then, there seem to be fewer deaths now because of mask use (less viral load).
I hope it's less viral DOSE (load isn't the right term), but it's not yet been scientifically proven. May turn out to be the case, but not yet proven.
Another thing is that quite a few cases could have gone noticed and people only started to seek help when they were quite ill. I think that there were cased in late January onward. But as there was no testing then, they didn't catch them early enough.
@@mysteryteacher9 Definitely true. In California, doctors were telling their patients in January that there's a weird virus going around, but no one knew what it was. I wonder if they'd heard something but didn't wanna panic their patients.

I know a neurologist here in the United States who is on call in two hospitals. I have been hearing stories from him since the beginning of this insanity. Prior to covid he would see one or two drug overdose cases per week. Now he is seeing 10 or more a week. He also reports that people are NOT coming to the hospital until their symptoms are soooo terrible that they are willing to risk it. This is creating much more stress on the healthcare providers and of course not good for the patients to wait instead of seeking out care.
That is happening everywhere
Why is a neurologist seeing overdose patients ?
@@bidentity69 Well in
@@bidentity69 I asked him the same question. Turns out people who overdose often have strokes and seizures so end up being seen by a neurologist.
Hearing the same thing from my home health nurses, deaths and permanent damage because people are too scared to go to the hospital. It's not being handled very well. I don't understand the obsession with cases as if it's death, it is not. Especially when you're dealing with inaccurate testing and deaths that are not REAL covid deaths, why are they being counted as so if you have an accident and just happen to have covid? Seems to me this would only muddy the waters. My family had it, literally thought it was a death sentence due to the media; my little brother was vomiting at the testing center he was so scared and his anxiety was through the roof. Soiled masks are being littered everywhere and aren't being used appropriately either, surgical masks are not meant for the long term like many people are using them. Masks can be harmful as well when not used correctly such as with longer use and activity. The lockdowns are not worth it as collateral damage increases. Australia is looking really bad with their tyrannical control, doesn't seem to be about safety anymore...
I'm concerned about my daughter and son flying home from out of state schools at the end of November. My 22 yr old will be coming from Alabama where rates are high. Will ask her to get a negative test result before she gets on a plane. I will ask my son to do the same, although he is getting tested regularly by his school in New Hampshire (which has had a 100% negative rate). My husband and I are over 60. I imagine infection rates will increase everywhere with students coming home and people wanting to visit relatives over the holidays.

This "planned" Covid Crisis is an attack on Christianity, free speech, and human rights...it's not about health...its about an organized reset in world politics to establish Marxism as the only system to govern the worlds populations. It's working at the moment.
It isn't
Closing the schools might help the R rate go down, and the school holidays is next week so let’s see what happens
I don't think it's "not admitting". Students don't want online courses, so universities open up, crossing their fingers for students' common sense and mature acceptance of new regulations. At some places, it works, others it doesn't.
In the eastern US, it looks like one possibility is to remain online after Thanksgiving, since many students will be going home then, possibly bringing back virus.
And next semester, schools are likely to go back one week latet and skip spring break completely, to discourage travel and possible increase in outbreaks.

There’s excellent data from the govscot site, it shows the Covid status in different neighbourhoods in a city, so I can look up my Scottish city, then the area where I live, it tells me how many people live in that area and how many have been diagnosed with Covid 19.

I work in a college and we’ve got doors and windows open in the classrooms so good ventilation (plus high level of mask wearing and distancing) It’s not perfect but doing our best.
Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans. I've always believed in them.
And gloves, ear-warmers, hats as the temp drops! Warm comforters, just keep the windows cracked!
String vests, string pants, and sock suspenders!

I'm so very glad to live alone. I can keep my windows closed or open, regardless, whatever is comfortable. Had COVID in mid September, recovered, still basking in presumed short term immunity. A hermit never had it so good.

Didn't mean to comment without praising your everyday efforts, referencing studies, and generally helping follow the pandemic around the world. So worth watching your videos every day! Be sure to take breaks, however, when you need a rest!
I installed a Mechanical Ventilator and Heat Recovery device into my home when I remodelled, worth every penny, fresh air without loosing all your heat!

@David Liptrot Is that the one with the cootlebob knobs?
I got into the office two days a week. I open the windows. No one else does. I use sanitiser. No one else does. 😮

I live in MN and all the schools are open with a hybrid distance / in-classroom a few days a week. It snowed 6'" two days ago and in the winter time we can reach well below zero Fahrenheit, it's pretty hard to open a window in temps like that.
Dear Dr Campbell, Thank you for your channel. I know I speak for many, many people who follow your videocasts when I say, because of your thoughtful and extensive research, I have followed your advice to the letter, and I open the doors in my appartment building as often as I can. It must be said someone always closes the door. In the city I live in there is a new lockdown being discussed as cases begin to spike again. In next door Italy, cases are once more climbing. Can any of us who have lived any substantial amount of time ever remember life becoming like it is? All I know is with the pubs closed I have done everything I can to keep my drinking at a respectable level, but we all know we need the pubs open to keep any decent level of imbibing spirits for extended periods of time. Okay; a bit of humor there. Knowing Dr Campbell is from the North of England, you blokes are the champions of beer guzzling on the planet. It must be hard having the pubs close near you.
Women's heart disease symptoms are not the same as men. Often severe anxiety is our main symptom. That's why women die because we have been told to expect to feel like a man.
I live alone ! No one comes into my home ! So I think I do not need extra ventilation ! ?
Informative and relevant as usual. Thank you Dr John.
I would guess the increased deaths from dementia are due to nursing home residents dying without getting tested early in the pandemic. They had dementia but also had Covid but were never tested because we had such a shortage of testing here early on.
Back in March dementia patients were offered a place in a care home as home care packages were being removed. They were put back around June, so that could have an effect too.
I'm very surprised all these people are dying from dementia. When my mum died with advanced Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia the doctor wrote 'old age' as cause of death and said that was normal practice.
So true. Sick of getting on trains where everyone’s wearing masks but all the f’ing windows are SHUT!!?? Daft...
some train models no longer have windows that can open, better stand near the doors and hope your route has many stops or a few stops on a short trip.

URGENT!!! TO DR JOHN CAMBELL!!! I live in Stockholm, Sweden, and do you know that we have a rather fast increasing of covid now here? AND NO RECOMMENDATION OF FACEMASKS, BESIDES STAFF IN HOSPITALS ETC... I find it very serious that we seem to be the only "western" country to not recommend masks! Have followed you since the start, and I'm very angry about our government and health authorities who do NOT recommend masks!! Please look this up!! And this day also the 70+ years people is now free to go to shops etc!! Very very strange as the figures rises since late summer. Thank you for your very good handling of this pandemic!❤️😉
You are doing far better than Spain or Ireland
Hi Dr Campbell, you mentioned that in the US that 67% of deaths are attributed to COVID 19. Based on those deaths what do we know about those people in terms of underlying health conditions that contributed to those deaths?
Or aphids with a chain link fence ;-)
Or plankton with a fishing net
Thank you for all the effort you put in to inform and educate people. I've been following you since you first started reporting on this virus when it was only on China. I just wish there was better news, as someone with health anxiety my mental health has taken a very bad turn, it's very difficult to wrap my mind around the concept that this will ever end or life will return to some sort of normality - or that I, or my family members might be here to see it.
Yes, we are going through tough times,and I feel for you. Better days will come back. Sending you kind thoughts.🤗
Take care the best you can and it will end at some stage in one way or another. Seek help if you need to via a friend or a helpline. There are many feeling the same to you so you are not alone.
I think most people who are able to face the reality of COVID-19, which may not be the majority, are having some degree of fatigue and wondering if this will ever end. Hang in there! It will end!!! 🌷🌷🌷
Maybe look around you, engage your common sense and realise that this virus is not the threat we’ve been led to believe....
I know what it’s like to suffer from anxiety. I wish you peace of mind my friend 👍🙂
Dr John, still going STRONG! Thanks a thousand times for continuing to help us all navigate 2020. Stay safe in the North.
It's not about the virus, it's about the host!! It's not about masks or distancing or ventilation, it's about the host!! It's about building your immune response, keeping it strong. It's not about the virus. Viruses can't be cured or avoided! Teach people how to build their immune response and not fear viruses!
My son attempted to help someone who had a fatal heart attack at his place of work 5 days later he had Covid19 symptoms. How many deaths put down to heart attacks may have their cause from undiagnosed Covid19 I wonder? Alzheimer’s can have several causes sometimes it’s vascular again if person has had seemingly mild Covid19 which they apparently recovered from maybe their cardio /vascular system taken damage...possibility anyway
You think business owners don't understand ventilation. Idiot architects don't know what ventilation is. Buildings have been designed wrong for years.
@khairos Buildings weren't designed with oxygen in mind. There are other respiratory diseases, saying only covid is problem is retarded.
Nonsense, most modern buildings have MVHR (mechanically ventilated and heat recovery) systems that turn the air over much more frequently without loosing all the heat. Architects don't know anything about it, but heating and ventilation engineers certainly do!
@@edc1569 You can call it what you want. After few years some design flaw pops up, and you have to tear building down. Idiots.
I wonder if our high Belgian infection rates have to do with the fact that our healthcare is rather good and affordable. So in other countries where care is harder to get, people are more anxious about their health and take supplements and herbs etc.. Here you have a minority doing that too but there are also many people "macho" about their health. We didn't go travelling a lot to the sun. Our vitamin D levels are probably low. Perhaps the same is going on in Czech. For the rest yes, so many are masked and yet.. the figures keep rising so it gives the impression that the virus hangs in the air and masks can't stop it then.
Thank you Dr Campbell.

It’s very hard to ventilate when there are so many fires here in Colorado. It’s getting cold at night but daytime is great for opening up and ventilating in a normal year. The smoke is thick in some areas on the front range
that's an exception to the rule. if the air outside is dangerous to health then you shouldn't be going outside at all.
What an absolute nightmare
My ex would never open doors or windows in her flat, it was so bad it was moulding around doors and windows and even on the walls behind her corner sofa, I begged her to open the windows more often despite spending a whole day cleaning and repainting but she never listened because she was a bit cold. I doubt she would take the advice on something she can't see.
I know several people who've contracted Covid recently. My sister lives in Minnesota and they've had snow already. Here in Las Vegas it's cooling off so we can open our windows.
Excellent, “as always”. Worrying stuff, but reassuring to have someone telling us the facts with clarity and a calm unbiased demeanour. Not wanting to encourage irresponsible drinking, but as I sit here with my wine, I feel like a Dr John drinking game could be in order. Drink every time we hear about statistics with “a delay, as always”, when John pauses mid-sentence in his sign-off, whenever Dr Robert Redfield gets a mention, and the CDC, and Dr Tim Spector. A double every time John talks about Ventilation... Just having a bit of fun, am a great admirer. Thank you.
My grandmother, if alive would be 104, always told me to open my doors and air out the house daily. I've done this for years. In the summer I open up the house in the morning and winter in the afternoon. I'm in the midwest in USA in an area where people are basically following Thrump philosophy. Sadly our local government isn't strick about resturants and bars staying open even though our state has mandatory shut down for these establishments. How's compliance in your area?
Just curious, does the increase in numbers of cases in the USA follow from north to south? People in northern climates have colder temps much earlier ..... and places like Florida cool down only a small amount. So air circulation in ones home along with crowded conditions in the north homes - Covid should be way ahead in cases compared to those in the southern states. Likewise, countries south of the equator should be doing much better currently. To date, I haven't seed this kind of data. So then, if the number of cases don't follow this north to south pattern, how can we say that the second wave is due to lower temps/poor air/crowded areas (etc)? Thanks !
I have been keeping windows open, but a mouse took advantage and sneaked in

Haha, I’m dirty minded...sounds rude
Buy a cage trap. Glue traps are cruel.
Every cautious trip to the ER costs $1000 to $2000, if they just look at you and nothing more. People are dying in fear of having to sleep in the local dog park--financial ruin, man, from trying so be medically cautious.
"Cases" over and over. I'm tired of the term. Deaths matter much much more. I would like to see the graph of cases per fortnight....and on the same sheet, the graph of the deaths. I bet they diverge substantially as time goes on.
That’s easy, go to ivor Cummins on YT
I am also so sick of "cases" that I refuse to watch this and most videos.
.
Random sample surveys are the only valid way to estimate prevalence. It's time the western world took a look at the concept of statistical inference.
They're not even cases they're positive tests and a lot of them will be false positives

My daughter arrived at Naples airport in Italy few days ago and she along with all passengers off the flight were tested for covid 19. If result is clear she does not need to isolate.
WHY is this not being done in the uk, Would save people not having to stay at home and self isolate
Once they have the result and clear can carry on and Go to work.
In the UK before boarding the flight not even a temperature check was taken.
Also every where her in Italy temptetures are taken .
The government in the UK need to get a move on and save lives not think of time and money.
1.) Wear masks at indoor public eastablishments
2.) No eating/drinking at indoor public establishments
3.) No (or at least minimal) household mixing
4.) NOTHING ELSE NEEDED
Don't forget hand wasing and social distancing (2 metres).

Its questionable to change guidelines based on one case study. Could be an outlier. Grocery workers had low levels of infection in the first wave.
Regarding the 6 feet in 15 minuets and as a teacher in a public school this has concerned me as well.
Opening windows and doors is sometimes not possible in many 'modern' buildings in the US with fixed windows that don't open. Schools and office buildings and most stores.
Because they have mechanical ventilation systems.
It is about energy savings as well. The better the insulation the cheaper it is to heat, but particularly cool. Yes because most systems include air conditioning. Many newer systems have filtration but it can be an expensive retrofit to a lot of vacant offices and classroom. Used to be homes in the South didn't have much for heat but they were cool.
All new houses in France come with automatic change of air. You cant turn the system off but it can run at normal or high turnover only.
@@rodwallace6237 doesn't matter why. My point was that the situation helps the virus to spread by not allowing fresh outside air, so recirculating the vorus.
I had my usual 6mo ck up at my Drs office this morning....sat there for an hr waiting as multiple pple came in. They had the seats spread out but that didnt ease my tensions one bit! They had the heat on and anyone wearing a surgical mask understands how hot a person gets while wearing one of these! It was nearly unbearable and of course being stressed and overheated while being anxious about being there to begin with...yeup my BP was thru the roof! Idk why they had it so hot in there and no air was moving...so if i end up w covid??? I'll know EXACTLY where i got it from!!!
@Micaela Jones wasnt an option as my Dr ordered labs...which honestly could have been done 10days ago and i asked to go in and get the labs done before my aptmnt so i could televisit...but again...they wouldn't do it 😣😣😣
That’s terrible what you went through. I’m so sorry you went through that and I pray that you do not get the virus. Your doctor should know better than to do that to his/her patients. Here, they do tele-visits and will order labs beforehand. Also, if you need to go in, they won’t allow anyone to wait in the waiting room. You arrive just at the time of your visit and not beforehand, you get in and you get out. NOBODY is allowed to wait in the waiting room! Also, they do this at my local VET CLINIC too. In fact when you bring your pet in to the vet you must explain about the pet ON THE PHONE and when you bring your pet in we humans aren’t allowed in the clinic ONLY our pet is allowed. We’re not messing around here in Ontario, Canada. Your doctor should be fined for putting you all at risk!

Thanks, John, as always. Once again, you are quite welcome in my home today. => The number of “collateral damage” deaths may be higher than reported, as this Wuhan, Hubei, China originated COVID-19 disease may well have produced an early death for some who would have died in the current reporting time, so the 67% current excess deaths may be overstated as if 10% of those who would have died this reporting period were already dead of COVID-19, the “collateral damage” cases would fill up this 10% reduction in expected cases before starting with excess deaths. In this case, there would be a 9% decrease in the rate for direct COVID-19 causing excess deaths - down to 58%, leaving 41% “collateral damage” deaths. It doesn’t change conclusions and I don’t know if the 10% example is even close to being right, but one can know that the reported “collateral damage” rate is an underestimate. => Thanks for reviewing the symptoms for heart attacks. This will save any number of cases. => One hopes that the increased dementia deaths isn’t due to decreased patient care. => I appreciate the discussion of ventilation - If one won’t open the doors and windows, a fan blowing inside a closed room may well stop the suspension of small particles in the air. => You are, of course, correct that the CDC’s rules are simplistic, but most people have little knowledge and perhaps less inclination to follow rules that have a large degree of impact on themselves or which seem overly stringent. The 15 minutes seems to be operational and allow a good deal of minor interaction, whilst encouraging minimizing the duration of minor interactions. It may also be based on data, such as the US prison guard data. => At least most rules and models are simplistic, such as the herd immunity model’s assumption of equal interaction of all members of a population. One thing many do is add a correction factor for the leap from math models to the real world. For example, are the found infection rates before diseases die out 1.2 or 1.5 times higher or lower than that predicted in the math models? It would be good to have some idea of how closely these infectious models are to reality. => Many of us are delighted to see your face, hear your voice and receive your thoughts as you proceed with your valuable work. Thanks again, John.
The climate in some places will become very cold in winter, What to do if if it’s -40°C outside?
Drink beer.
Question why you live in a place where it gets that cold! - 5ish is enough for me! 😂
Vodka 60°+😄
Do you have forced air heat? If so turn up the heat causing more air flow. I also wonder what happens as the air heats up and circulates it also becomes less humid so fewer droplets or at least less time in the air. Replace your furnace filter more often.
If it dips so far so as to -40 C, the area is probably rather sparsely populated in the first place. Maybe ventilation isn't that much of a problem. They might huddle at home together in their social bubbles.
John, when are you going to discuss the issues surrounding current testing methodology? The defining of UK policy based on a PCR test that is qualitative and not quantitative. In detecting specific viral RNA it does not indicate a level of live 2019-nCoV virus. NHS England doesn't require an upper limit on CT threshold, just rudimentary checks for assays with ct >=40. (1)
A median CT of 28-30 (2) should be the max used to pick up those in the acute infectious phase where viral load is highest. The current gold standard recommendation is a CT >= 37 (3, 4). Indeed CT values of >=33 have shown to be predomently dead viral fragments with no culture of virus possible (5) .
These CT recommendations were presented at the peak of the pandemic (03/20 - 05/20) when the tests where first created and don't take into account the knowledge from 6 months of study by epidemiologists.
Prologed shedding of viral detritus post the acute infectious stage, generally though to be 5-7 days, risks attributing a positive PCR result a vast number of non-infectious patients and giving a significant overestimation of both the current R0 and spread. It's just astonishingly bad. Millions are at risk of being quarantined when they don't need to, and track and trace chasing those who aren't infectious and havent been for weeks.
In addition the recommendation to not test asymptomatic persons (5) is clearly not being applied wasting resources and potentially skewing results.
It's clear at this point in the pandemic as we go into autumn/winter in the northern hemisphere, particularly as Pillar2 testing in the UK is ramped up, that a wholescale review of the testing protocol is needed and a more targetted approach required. It's the view proposed by a significant proportion of the scientific community.

I ride the bus and the drivers get angry at riders that open more windows here in the US.
I opened the window on the bus the other day,I asked if that was ok first but everyone stared at me as if I was an alien 🤔
Other riders may not like it here as things get toward freezing, but if you're going to ride public trans, it's worth finding some N95 masks. If someone is wearing an N95 mask (which is intolerable over a full day if it's not absolutely required, but you can deal with it on a bus ride), it's really unlikely to be able to breathe enough virus to catch it. Has to be fitted though.
I am also a bus rider. The bus ridership is pretty sparse now, and I've been working from home, but have n95s for when we ultimately go back to work (not going to pay $16 a day to park when a mask is a fraction of that!!).
