The delta variant is not from local, is not from people who mudik , but from India. The Indonesian government is not taking enough restriction to Indians who fly to Indonesia during the delta outbrak in India.
As the novel coronavirus is spreading fast and threatening the lives of millions of people around the globe, I’ve read stories about people infected with the virus making a full recovery by reciting “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.”
While I don’t know what the specific mechanism is behind the seemingly miraculous recoveries, I did remember some bacteria experiments that another Falun Dafa practitioner did in her microbiology classes.
The Two Blank Bacterial Culture Slides
Deyuan was born in Germany. She was introduced to Falun Dafa, an ancient spiritual discipline, by her parents in 1997. She is currently studying at a medical school in Germany.
Deyuan said that, in her first microbiology class in college a few years ago, each student was given a few agar slides and asked to put their fingers on the plate to see what bacteria were on their hands. After a few days of culturing in the incubator, most of her classmates’ slides had some bacterial colonies growing on them. But Deyuan’s slide was blank.
She was puzzled, “I didn’t remember washing my hands before the class. But why didn’t anything growing on it?”
During the next class, the teacher asked them to test the bacteria on the surface of an object. This time, Deyuan went with a piece of a banknote, which is known to have many microorganisms on it. But to her surprise, her experiment “failed” again – nothing grew on the slide.
Finally Seeing a Colony
In her third experiment, each student was required to do a throat or nose swab on themselves and then culture the bacteria on the agar slide. Deyuan chose to do a nose swab.
This time, she finally saw a bacteria colony on her slide. She was very happy.
The teacher identified the bacteria species for each student and talked about their bacteria's specific characteristics. While many of her classmates had a similar throat or nose microbiome, the species that Deyuan had, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, was different from all of them.
While talking about Staphylococcus lugdunensis, her teacher became very excited. He said that it was a newly-discovered species. Although it can cause severe infection in humans, this bacteria is also known to produce a novel antibiotic that can kill another pathogenic species, Staphylococcus aureus.
The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus is usually found on human skin and nasal passages. Some of the strains, known as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), have been found to be superbugs that carry resistance to some antibiotics.
In a paper published in the journal Nature in 2016, titled “Human commensals producing a novel antibiotic impair pathogen colonization,” a group of scientists in Germany found that Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus lugdunensis rarely exist in the nose together.
They also found that a substance produced by Staphylococcus lugdunensis, named as Lugdunin, has the ability to kill MRSA and another type of dangerous bacteria called VRE, or vancomycin-resistant enterococcus.
The scientists propose that by introducing harmless Lugdunin-forming bacteria, it may be able to prevent deadly infections in patients.
Positive Energy from Practicing Falun Dafa
After the three experiments, Deyuan began to wonder why the bacteria she carried was different from her classmates, because they were all exposed to similar microorganisms in the environment.
Because there has been some research studying the positive energy flowing in a person’s body during meditation, and she also saw the health of many Falun Dafa practitioners she knew improve tremendously after taking up the practice, she wondered if it was the energy from Falun Dafa meditation that changed her microbiome into a more “beneficial” combination.
If this is the case, maybe this could explain why people infected with the novel coronavirus recovered after reciting “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good,” as it may be doing something to their body energy that then killed the viruses.
Please advise people to take 2gm water soluble vitamin C with zinc at two dividing doses. This combination can successful arrest the entry virus into target cells, hence it reduces the massive flow of severe patients in hospitals..
Of course early detection based on clinical symptoms and immediate intervention will be the cornerstone of handling patients.
It all boils down to the mindset of the ppl in every country to manage the pandemic
China Sinovac seen highly effective in real world study – Bloomberg
NEW YORK—Pfizer Inc plans to ask FDA to authorize a booster dose of its COVID-19 vaccine within the next month, the drugmaker’s top scientist said on Thursday, based on evidence of greater risk of reinfection six months after inoculation and the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
Singapore can expect to follow pretty soon. It would be an unending story of needle poking exercise.
Indunesian been burning their forest and create so much haze yearly, their lunges been badly damaged, CoVid just cause the trigger… Its always people choice to abide our ignored. When they choice to ignore they decide to go happy then get suffers. It can't be helped. They decided their fate when they breach the ban….
Different regions, different stories, different numbers.
UK doesn't use China's vaccine. The deaths of vaccinated patients are over four thousand for the Alpha variant and 117 for the delta variant between 1feb and 21Jun 2021.
Lucky because Malaysian Government are not allowed people in country not travel during Eid celebration
It's not too different from what we're facing in Malaysia.
Hospitals are overloaded.
Healthcare workers are tired and overworked.
Politicians are universally clowns.
where is the health minister?
Thanks for the insightful report of the current situation in indonesia. My heart goes out to the folks in indonesia. Please abide by the safe distancing rules as much as possible to break the transmission links. Its painful but necessary. Stay safe and healthy.
Indonesia strong
The same question. Did they use Ivermectin early???
I'm Indonesian Chinese. I totally understand the difficulty of people surviving during this pandemic, especially for those who have financial crisis. But I still wanna say that this is the results of not working together. If all of us stayed at home, abide the law, follow the measures government input then this might not happen. Still hope everything can get better soon! Pray for Indonesia🙏🏻🇲🇨🇸🇬
Government was not ready to due with this kind of pandemic……
I have neigbour, they are 2 mothers family. Both with high glucose…the one have threatment glucose with the doctor and twice vacinated covid 19 but she is die last week, but the other one she is really dont like any medical treatment for the high glucose even vacine covid 19 as well, but she is survive and stay healthy until now. She just do dietary and drink herb…what do you think, are she just lucky?
Pray for Indonesia that this covid starts to stop.
Well 7,000 rip 411,900 injuries as of 25th June: American Database of Adverse Drug Reactions for COVID-19 “Vaccines” (Actual numbers are likely 10x)
And 15,472 rip 1,509,266 injuries as of 19th June: European Database of Adverse Drug Reactions for COVID-19 “Vaccines”
Have common senses and act as discplened.
If not then that'll be happen.
Preparing for Mark of the Beast System.
Greetings from Macau China! We rub some tiger balm on the palms, inhale (breath in from the nose) several times. This is to protect the respiratory system against virus. Whenever heading out and coming home, I will do it. God bless Indonesia!!
Why do they need vaccines other than Chinese vaccines?
Indonesia got a large population and despite their efforts, only 5.4% vaccinated (as per now). With Delta high transmitibility, Indonesian really need super huge luck to not end up like India.
Wew, i still cant believe the actions of those people. Is it so a must to travel in " mudik" way to their village in pandemics??
After that those nasty, egoistic people bring back the virus n then the people that dont do this travel becomes the victim.
Certainly, the great demise will follow.
Gosh, I just cant believe this.
she lying
Their vaccination is slow. Thus the population is 267 millions
Finally! Real News, Real Stories, Real Update from the Local people.
What an explanation 👌
😷
This Delta (Indian) variant is causing confusion amongst the vaccinated. Generally, the vaccine targets just one species of COVID virus and not all species.
The main root cause is because we (Indonesia) don;t close border from outside (specially India, that delta variant origin location)
Stupid people always been a victim by its stupidity 👍
The covid 19 deniers are a world wide phenomenon
It's not relevant by Mei traffic. How Delta came to Indonesia is import form India.
Not enough vaccine ? Indonesian media early last year achieved the bragging rights to say Indonesia going forward will be getting vaccine made locally name nusantara or something to that effect , made at the vaccine center @ Bandung ! How come the media which went gaga then now as Silent as the many new "old" graveyard as newer one being open up !
and they will still blame LGBT hahaha
I dont think linda knowing well of indonesian face. Travel band had strightening of jav bali n island.. the delta is known esyly transmirted, poverty in indonesian should work un informal will keep to work as gojek driver seller of street. They didnt get a guarantee to full fill life saving by corupp govwrmen
