''The National Health Institute in Italy has recalculated the Covid death toll since February 2020.

It was 130,468. Now it thinks 3,783 were directly due to COVID-19 ~3% of the total.''

 

Gran pasticcio nel rapporto sui decessi. Per l'Iss gran parte dei morti non li ha causati il Covid – Il Tempo

I can't find any source in the article you linked for where deaths have been adjusted.. Official stats still show 130k

your 'report' is dated 5 Oct. The article is dated 21 Oct - see the problem?

Do you? You've posted a link from a blog, which has no source to its underlying data. And the supposed source (Italian National Health Institute) has posted NO SUCH DATA saying it has revised COVID deaths from c. 130k down to 3k.

If you have any shred of credibility, you would clarify why you posted the link from IlTempo, and where that article gets its claim from .

As soon as anybody argues against anything on Caseys thread the insults start coming....

only to patronising Aholes.

I don't care if you don't like science or other people having opinions, it's the pathetic attempt to pretend you are rebutting anything at all with lame msm bs. As I've said, why don't you just post what you heard on the telly last night, I'm sure everyone would really enjoy it.

I haven't posted anything considered as MSM. I only took what links/posts you claimed and looked into them myself.

We've all tried that mate, he just ignores it and moves onto the next meme/Twitter post/conspiracy theory/etc.

Funny how all those 'conspiracy theories' have come true and we are all still sat here waiting ' 3 weeks to flatten the curve' 18 months latter.

Oh FO you clown, it's a article from a respected Italian news organisation ffs. If you don't like it don't read if . What a joke you are.

But don't you realise the impact you can have by trying to push this narrative of "the great reset" and your claims about vaccine ineffectiveness? 

Go to Reddit and check out the Herman Cain award. 

Misinformation like which is contained in your posts has a real impact on real people. Whether or not you look into your own links with a critical eye, the reality is that people read these types of posts without doing that, and take for face value these cheap claims. You could stop someone from getting the vaccine, or believing in the danger of COVID, and have real consequences.

Look clod, over the last 18 months I've posted hundreds of scientific studies showing the official narrative is complete BS.

People are smarter than you think and most are clearly smarter than you.

''Go to Reddit''  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣  what a joke.

The govt and msm have been misleading the people from the start and most people don't get to see real science studies because they do not get any coverage.

Of course I think that those who are not vulnerable in any way should not be locked down, should not social distance, should not wear a mask and should not get injected with experimental cloned spike proteins - when the chance of dying, if infected, for those who are not vulnerable, is less than one in a thousand (similar to common flu).

Understand?

Over the last 18 months you've posted nothing but pics that you've copied/pasted from Facebook and Twitter, claiming them as fact without any kind of fact-checking yourself. These types have posts have been DEBUNKED by multiple sources/organisations.

The fact you get so worked up and defensive when you are even half challenged by others just says it all really..

No, I just can't stand sanctimonious gits who are self deluded into thinking they are the one and only arbiters of truth and no opinions other than their own can be tolerated.

Not seen anyone debunk any study I've posted actually but keep dreaming.

This is the real danger of this thread. Unsubstantiated nonsense which could have real consequences.

You can't stand anybody questioning anything you write. You resort to insults and never address any points that anybody else makes on "your" thread.

you guys are so funny, you delude yourselves that bit*hing is the same as disproving. None have disproved anything, just self delusion.

Dollar Up, Euro Falls as Number of European COVID-19 Cases Rise

By Gina Lee, 22nd November 2021.

Investing.com – The dollar was up on Monday morning in Asia, remaining near a 16-month high against the euro. Concerns over the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases in Europe also saw investors turn towards the safe-haven U.S. currency.

The U.S. Dollar Index that tracks the greenback against a basket of other currencies edged up 0.15% to 96.175 by 10:37 PM ET (3:37 AM GMT). It remained near the 16-month high of 96.266 hit during the previous week.

The USD/JPY pair edged up 0.17% to 114.18.

The AUD/USD pair inched up 0.10% to 0.7242 while the NZD/USD pair was down 0.31% to 0.6988. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will hand down its policy decision on Wednesday.

The USD/CNY pair inched down 0.03% to 6.3845 and the GBP/USD pair edged down 0.15% to 1.3432.

Bullish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials also boosted the U.S. currency. Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida and Governor Christopher Waller on Friday suggested that faster asset tapering could be appropriate as economic recovery quickens and inflation rises. This could also mean earlier interest rate hikes.

The euro was down 0.23% to $1.1274. "EUR-USD has been in free-fall and will likely get the lion’s share of attention from clients looking for a play on growing restrictions and tensions across Europe," Pepperstone head of research Chris Weston said a note.

"For momentum, trend followers, and tactical traders, short EUR remains attractive here."

The surging numbers of COVID-19 cases triggered a full lockdown in Austria that begins Monday. German Health Minister Jens Spahn called the situation in the country a national emergency, adding that vaccinations alone will not reduce the numbers.

The riskier Australian dollar earlier slipped as low as $0.72285, near an Oct. 6 low. "We expect AUD to remain heavy in the near‑term, and a dip to $0.70 is possible," with the economic recovery in China slowing down and the Reserve Bank of Australia’s dovish policy stance dragging on the currency, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (OTC:CMWAY) strategist Joseph Capurso said in a report.

Meanwhile, "USD can extend its recent rally this week and set a fresh 2021 high... another round of strong U.S. inflation can further propel market pricing of Fed rate hikes and the USD," the report added.

Hi @Caseynotes and @Frankieburgo

We should all value and respect each others opinions and swearing isn't something we allow on the community. We're not going to be restricting anyone's accounts but if this continues we will. We're temporarily locking the forum so both parties can cool off.

    • Dow, Nasdaq 100 and Nikkei 225 make headway off recent lows The selling in indices has stopped for now, with major markets higher after finding at least a short-term low last week. Source: Getty Images Written by: Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London   Publication date: Tuesday 23 April 2024 13:38 Dow recovery goes on The index continues its recovery from the lows of last week, and Monday’s session saw it move back above the 100-day simple moving average. The flood of major earnings over the coming two weeks may mean that the index experiences a more volatile period, even if it does continue to rebound. Further gains target 39,000, which provided some resistance earlier in the month, and then on to 40,000. A close back below 38,000 could suggest the price will head back towards 37,500, retesting last week’s low. Source: ProRealTime Nasdaq 100 braces for big tech earnings The pullback in the index paused yesterday, as the price reached 17,000. A small gain helped to suggest that a low may be forming. The big tech earnings that dominate this week and next may mean that the index struggles in the short-term, though with the percentage of index members below their 20-day SMA hitting 5% last week a short-term bounce still seems likely. A close above 17,415 and the 100-day SMA helps to build a short-term bullish view. Sellers will want to see a close back below 17,000, which could then open the way to the January low at 16,177. Source: ProRealTime Nikkei 225 returns to 100-day SMA As with other indices, the Nikkei 225 has seen its pullback pause over the past three sessions. Buyers appeared last week when the index dropped below 37,000, and the index then pushed back to the 100-day SMA. A close above the 100-day SMA would add strength to the bullish view, while the price then targets the early April highs around 39,860. 37,000 continues to hold as support for now, so a break below here is needed to put the bearish view back on track.

    • While the price of crude oil stabilises, gold and silver prices fall sharply De-escalation in the Middle East leads to risk on sentiment and flows out of save haven commodities such as precious metals. Source: Getty Images Written by: Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London   Publication date: Tuesday 23 April 2024 13:23 Brent crude oil price recovers slightly from near one-month low The Brent crude oil price’s sharp decline from its 91.67 mid-April high to Monday’s 85.21 near one-month low amid de-escalation in the Middle East has been followed by a minor bounce which so far remains tepid and below the 87.11 mid-March high, though. Were 85.21 to give way, the key mid-November-to-early March previous resistance area, now because of inverse polarity a support zone, at 84.58 to 83.79 would probably be tested. Source: ProRealTime Gold price plunges to three-week low as geopolitical tensions ease Spot gold is on track for its second straight day of losses, having so far fallen by around 5% from its mid-April $2,431 per troy ounce record high, as tensions in the Middle East ease. A potential downside target is seen at the 5 April low at $2,268. If fallen through, a more significant correction might take the precious metal price to its 20 March $2,223 high. Minor resistance sits between its mid-April low and Tuesday’s intraday high at $2,335. Further minor resistance can be spotted at the 17 April $2,354 low. Source: ProRealTime Silver price comes off its three-year high The spot silver price is seen coming off its $29.79 per troy ounce mid-April high, a level last traded in February 2021, towards its 5 April low and the February-to-April uptrend line at $26.29 to $26.16 as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East abate. Another potential downside target is the 21 March high at $25.77. Minor resistance above Tuesday’s intraday high at $27.36 can be seen at the 10 April low at $27.53. Source: ProRealTime
    • Security and Transparency have always been the bedrock of cryptocurrency and focusing on these principles is particularly endearing to the crypto community. I found this to be more true when I came across BRC-20 DEX Exchange. In short, BRC-20 DEX Exchange is a DEX built on the BRC-20 protocol, offering secure and transparent trading for BRC-20 tokens. Basically, the BRC-20 DEX Bridge allows users to easily transfer BRC-20 tokens to Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Polygon (Matic) networks for wider trading options. Additionally, the bridge enables transferring assets back to the BRC-20 blockchain. The BRC-20 DEX offers various utilities, including efficient bridging of BRC-20 tokens, spot trading of cryptocurrencies, and margin trading for borrowing, trading, and leveraging BRC-20 tokens. While they have gained popularity, the listing of their token BD20 on Bitget will be another milestone in their journey. Do you think BRC-20 DEX transparency and security will offset the limited number of operating chains?
